Chapter 78:
"The Ten Thousand Ways Sacred Manual!!" The order from the Demon Lord spread.
All the demonic cultivators on the Qiankun Continent immediately began a thorough search.
Chaos erupted across the continent.
The demonic cultivators seemed insane, starting a massacre that shook the heavens.
On the Qiankun Continent, in the region of Wanjinzhou, a long Continent was traveling through the mountains and wilderness.
In the center, a luxurious eight-person sedan chair moved slowly, guarded by a dozen experts at the Condensing Profound Realm.
Inside the sedan, the silhouette of a person could be seen through the beaded curtain. A cold female voice came from within.
"Hu Han, where are we now?"
A cultivator named Hu Han hurried to the front of the sedan and bowed respectfully. "Miss, we have reached Wanjin territory."
"Mm... Everyone has worked hard on this journey."
The woman said calmly.
"It's not hard. We live and die as members of the Nalan Chamber of Commerce. We are willing to sacrifice everything for you and the Nalan clan."
Hu Han lowered his head, showing immense respect for the woman inside.
She didn't respond but silently took out a brocade box from beside her. She slowly opened the box, revealing an ancient manual. On the manual, there were the words in ancient script, 'Ten Thousand Ways Holy Manual.'
Her slender jade-like hand gently caressed the manual.
Her eyes, as bright as gemstones, showed a hint of nostalgia. She slowly closed the lid. Her beautiful orange curls fell from her ears to her chest.
Her gaze sharpened.
Suddenly, outside the caravan, a wave of demonic Qi surged.
Amidst the terrified screams of the attendants, a dozen demonic cultivators, seemingly ambushed for a long time, emerged from all directions.
"How dare you! This is a caravan of the Nalan Chamber of Commerce!" Hu Han shouted, drawing his sword and leaping out.
"The Nalan Chamber of Commerce? Haha, we’ve caught a big fish!" The lead demonic cultivator laughed maniacally. "Friends, kill them! Take all their treasures for the Demon Lord!"
"How dare you!" Hu Han roared.
The guards immediately engaged the demonic cultivators in a fierce battle. Swords flashed, and profound energy whistled like a storm.
The young woman sat in the sedan, her expression calm, unaffected by the chaos outside.
Suddenly, a demonic cultivator stepped onto the sedan, and lifted The tightly closed beaded curtain. When he saw her delicate and beautiful appearance, his eyes flashed with a hint of greed.
"Protect the young miss!" Hu Han turned and saw a demonic cultivator on the sedan. He was horrified. However, just as he turned, his left arm was cut off by a demonic cultivator, and blood spurted everywhere.
These demonic cultivators were all at the Conjoining Profound level. The guards were gradually being overpowered, with most of them dead or injured.
Just as everyone was in despair, the demonic cultivator stepping into the sedan suddenly screamed and was sent flying out. He flew hundreds of meters and exploded like a firework in the sky.
Everyone was stunned. Watching the blood rain down from the sky, they were all dumbfounded.
"A few insignificant insects dare to attack the Nalan Chamber of Commerce."
The curtain moved without wind, and the young woman gracefully stepped out of the sedan. Her fair skin, orange curls, and luxurious silk dress made her look like an elf princess from a painting, incredibly noble and awe-inspiring.
"The Condensing Spirit level?" The remaining demonic cultivators felt fear, sweating as they looked at the young woman.
"Go back and tell your Demon Abyss master that the 'Ten Thousand Ways Holy Manual' is with me. If he wants it, she must come and get it himself."
The young woman slowly revealed the manual in her hand. The demonic cultivators were shocked. They exchanged glances, nodded, and immediately fled in all directions.
Seeing them escape, the young woman didn't pursue them. Instead, she smiled coldly.
"Xu Ze, I didn't expect you to become the master of the Demon Abyss so early in this life, as despicable as ever."
"But for me, it makes no difference."
"When you come to the Nalan Chamber of Commerce, I will make sure you have no place to be buried..."
However, the young woman made two mistakes.
First, the one searching for the 'Ten Thousand Ways Holy Manual' wasn't Xu Ze.
Second, Xu Ze wasn't the current master of the Demon Abyss.
This information gap made the unfolding events increasingly mysterious.
At this moment, the scapegoat Xu Ze, unaware of these matters, was frowning in the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect.
A few days ago, Ye Fan led seventy disciples of the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect to assist the Supreme Sword Sect in the lower realms.
Jing Xiaoxuan was also happily attending lectures daily in the Alchemy Room of the Holy Fire Palace. Everything in the sect seemed particularly peaceful.
However, Xu Ze couldn't ignore the subtle chill in the atmosphere.
That's right, Qu Qinghan!
Most troubling of all, in twenty days, on the 760th Winter Full Moon, it would be Qu Qinghan's twentieth birthday!
Thinking of this, Xu Ze broke into a cold sweat.
For these cultivators, with their long lifespans, age and birthdays were trivial. They didn't celebrate every year but once every ten years. When they did, it had to be a grand event.
Ten years ago, when Xu Ze and Qu Qinghan were children, he had given her a birthday gift, a paper frog. She had sulked for months before finally forgiving him.
Now, this was the second birthday in Qu Qinghan's life and the best opportunity for Xu Ze to reconcile with her completely.
Thus, the choice of a birthday gift was a challenge for Xu Ze.
With the memories of nine past reincarnations, he shouldn't have been troubled. However, Qu Qinghan's frequent dark moods suggested that ordinary gifts wouldn't suffice.
While this weighed on his mind, Lin Yuer brought more unwelcome news from outside the door.
"Holy Son, Bu Zhi is arguing with Elder Qingdan again!"
