And what about the Demon Kings that had fought with him?
More and more cultivators began to regain consciousness, followed by their disbelieving stares. The demonic beasts that had been unconscious also gradually woke up.
When the demonic beasts first regained consciousness, their reactions were different from the Sect cultivators. The moment they opened their eyes, their expressions were full of excitement!
Under the leadership of the Saint, this beautiful world would finally be theirs!
However, where was their Saint?
At first, the cultivators and demonic beasts stared at each other nervously, but when they confirmed that the Demon King was absent, and the Demon Saint had disappeared without a trace, a demonic beast finally broke under the pressure and started running away.
Of course, the escape path was towards the Mountaintop of Upper Pure Sect because the Saint would never abandon them.
Not to abandon nor give up. The Saint had declared and acted upon that promise, which was also the reason they willingly followed the Saint’s orders, even if it meant sacrificing their lives.
The Saint had once promised that when the time came to celebrate their accomplishment, he would hold a victory feast for them at the scene of the decisive battle.
But the Demon Saint was nowhere to be seen, and neither were the Demon Kings who had commanded them in battle. How could they not be panicked?
As the demonic beasts turned and fled, the cultivators instinctively stopped them, and a sense of relief filled their hearts.
The demonic beasts were actually running away?
At this point, there could only be one reason for this situation, and that was the defeat of the demonic beasts. In the worst-case scenario, the Demon Saint was being besieged by the Nascent Soul Masters, and the human alliance had achieved a great victory on the frontline.
Did you not notice that the Nascent Soul Masters were also gone? Because during their unconsciousness, they had not seen the Nascent Soul Masters perished together. Now their morale soared as they quickly moved to kill the fleeing demonic beasts.
Among them were Golden Core Daoists, who faced only average leveled demonic beasts. How could those demonic beasts be a match for the Golden Core Daoists?
This was a one-sided slaughter!
Moreover, with both sides’ numbers dwindling, the demonic beasts had no heart to fight. All they had in their minds was the fear and panic after the Demon Saint’s disappearance.
Run, run, run!
However, when they reached the mountaintop, the Demon Saint still did not appear. Instead, they saw the life tokens of the Demon Saint and the top Demon Kings completely shattered.
These were the life tokens that the Demon Saint had deliberately hung in the previous Sect Master Hall of the Upper Pure Sect to show that he was with them in the decisive battle against their Sect.
Seeing this result, the only thought left in the demonic beasts’ minds was that they had been defeated again. Even with the Saint’s brilliant strategies, they still couldn’t escape the outcome of defeat.
The Heavenly Dao was unfair, but how come the Nascent Soul Masters were all dead before?
What they didn’t know was that it wasn’t Heavenly Dao being unfair. They had indeed won, but it was just that Liang Sheng, the demonic monster, had interfered.
Some of the demonic beasts had witnessed the Saint’s successful curse-kill while they were unconscious, but the current slaughter clearly told them that they had lost!
Now, disheartened and unwilling to flee any further,though they hadn’t transformed into half-beastmen, they had already removed their crossbones. Given more time, they would definitely have the potential to become Demon Kings.
“Heavenly Dao is so unfair! I never thought that despite the fall of your Human Clan’s Nascent Soul Masters, you all would still prevail in the end. I just want to ask where our clan’s Saint perished?”
Nascent Soul Masters perished?
How was that possible?
“You vile beasts, don’t even think about disrupting our Dao hearts!”
At that moment, with the Golden Core Daoist’s furious shout, spells were unleashed, and the demonic beasts were all killed!
This chase had given the cultivators a chance to vent all their pent-up frustrations. One of the Golden Core Daoists then led the team to eliminate the remaining demonic beasts while the others cautiously entered the Upper Pure Sect Main Hall.
This place was already empty, with only shattered life tokens remaining. The Demon Saint was truly dead, and everyone couldn’t help but cheer!
However, as their excitement from victory slowly returned to reason, everyone gradually grew silent.
By the time they descended the mountain and returned to the previous battlefield, the bloodstains on the ground had dried up. In this great battle, the casualty rate for both demonic beasts and cultivators was almost ninety-nine percent.
Facing such a cruel outcome, the fact that they had survived was only because they were fortunate.
“Where is the Sect Master?”
Finally, someone couldn’t help but ask, their expression hesitant. At this time, they hadn’t seen the Nascent Soul Masters appear. Thinking of what the demonic beast had said before, they slowly grew more and more panicked.
Had the Sect Master really perished together with the Demon Saint?
They were the last Nascent Soul Masters of the Two Sects and Six Paths. If they all perished, the Two Sects and Six Paths would collapse.
Everyone couldn’t believe this, but as time went by, after searching for three days, they increasingly became desperate.
By this time, Liang Sheng had also secretly regained consciousness. Xiang Chen found him as soon as he awakened and couldn’t help but directly embrace him.
“Junior brother, you’re finally awake!”
Xiang Chen was extremely excited in his heart. His junior brother was truly blessed, and his survival on the battlefield was incredibly lucky. For Xiang Chen himself, he could happily report this to his master.
“Senior Brother, what exactly happened? What’s the situation?”
After Xiang Chen briefly explained the situation, Liang Sheng couldn’t help but open his mouth wide, as if he was shocked beyond words.
At this moment, the cultivators from various sects had begun preparing to return to their Sects. They had searched for three days, yet the Nascent Soul Masters still hadn’t appeared. They decided to return to their Sects to find out the truth.
Because there were life tokens of the Nascent Soul Masters there!
Xiang Chen had also returned to the remaining main force of the Dan Ding Sect. After Liang Sheng regained consciousness, no one doubted him anymore..
