CHAPTER 762: CHAPTER 685: ASCEND TO THE PEAK 84

In order to survive, humans naturally cannot allow the Demon Clan to invade their world. This is a battle for survival, with humans and the Demon Clan fighting for their existence. There is no right or wrong, only an effort to live, and to live better.

Humans and the Demon Clan have been fighting for so many years, and there has never been an incident of the Demon Clan disguising themselves as humans. As always, they simply cannot disguise themselves. Even if they manage to deceive the Human Clan for a short time, it won’t be long before they die because they can’t adapt to the human living space.

This is precisely why the appearance of the Demon Clan this time is even more shocking. If the Demon Clan has overcome the weakness of not being able to survive in the human world, Tan Shuangshuang cannot imagine the catastrophe that humanity would face then!

Tan Shuangshuang furrowed her brows, realizing that this situation was becoming thorny. Originally, the suspicion that another country might be behind this had been alleviated. In fact, although everyone had been suspecting that the countries surrounding Baiyue Country were behind this due to the peculiarity of the situation, there was simply no explanation other than this.

But now, with the information provided by Lu Tianyi, it was evident that the Demon Clan was indeed responsible. However, discovering the mastermind behind it didn’t help; it made things even more complicated, because Tan Shuangshuang didn’t know why the Demon Clan had the method to disguise themselves as humans.

Afterwards, Tan Shuangshuang asked Lu Tianyi a few more questions, but they only served as corroboration, pointing to the fact that the Demon Clan indeed pretended to be humans.

Taking a deep breath, Tan Shuangshuang was also a bit at a loss due to the lack of information. She could only record this information on a Jade Scroll and then send a message to General Shang and the members of the sect, advising them to be cautious.

At the same time, Tan Shuangshuang proposed her own suggestions. She hoped that both the military and the sect could thoroughly investigate the cultivators within the military and the sect disciples, checking for any Demon Clan members disguised as humans ambushed among them, and preferably see if anyone was concealing their appearance among them.

The reason she thought of this was that Tan Shuangshuang suddenly recalled the previous incident where the Wuji Sect and the Li Tian Sect were sabotaged in the Secret Realm. Although these two incidents seem unrelated, Tan Shuangshuang intuitively felt that there was a connection.

After sending the Jade Scroll message, Tan Shuangshuang focused on the journey. After a series of battles, Lu Tianyi and his guards were all very tired. Now, with Tan Shuangshuang, who had incredibly high combat power, ensuring their safety, everyone busied themselves with meditating to restore their Spiritual Power.

Tan Shuangshuang, renowned on the battlefield, had her fame spread across Baiyue Country by the sect and the state to stabilize the people’s hearts. The effect was excellent. Without Tan Shuangshuang knowing, her name was already being chanted by every person yearning for peace, so when the guards realized they had someone with such formidable and outstanding military achievements like Tan Shuangshuang beside them, their sense of security naturally surged.

Si Kaojing’s Flying Heaven Palace was not only extremely fast but also had very strong defenses. Si Kaojing suggested using the Flying Heaven Palace for the journey, thinking that if someone were indeed to ambush them, the Palace’s defense and speed would ensure a smooth getaway, even if faced with a Martial Venerate.

However, Tan Shuangshuang did not plan to rely on the Palace’s defense and speed to avoid the enemy. Unless the attackers were at a Martial Venerate Level, Tan Shuangshuang was confident that she could detain anyone who came.

In fact, Tan Shuangshuang even thought about capturing a few ambushers to study whether the Demon Clan really could disguise themselves as humans or if there was some other reason.

Tan Shuangshuang couldn’t think of a method that would allow the Demon Clan to appear in the Human Clan’s world, just as how humans have been researching since ancient times how to operate long-term in the Abyss to eradicate the pest of the Demon Clan, yet have never found a way.

Perplexed and without insight, Tan Shuangshuang thought about capturing some ambushers for research. Just as she imagined this, the ambushers appeared, not disappointing her expectations.

The Flying Heaven Palace hadn’t traveled far before a hundred or so individuals clad in blue-gray attire and ghost masks appeared ahead.

These individuals lined up, blocking the path of the Flying Heaven Palace, and without saying a word, they launched an attack. Tan Shuangshuang did not leave the Flying Heaven Palace. With her hands behind her back, she activated "Thousand Silk Entanglement" with a mere thought. Countless fine threads surged from all directions towards the attackers.

Now, Tan Shuangshuang’s Thousand Silk Wrapping Avatar had over a thousand threads, more than enough to deal with the attackers. The Thousand Silk Entanglement conducted a comprehensive attack from all directions, leaving no blind spots.

The speed of Thousand Silk Entanglement was fast, and its attack angles were cunning and unpredictable. Many Martial Sect level demons had fallen due to this characteristic.

As Tan Shuangshuang’s cultivation deepened, the attack speed of Thousand Silk Entanglement also increased, just like this time. In almost an instant, the entangled ambushers were trapped.

However, Tan Shuangshuang aimed to capture, not to kill. Unlike on the battlefield, where she would strangle foes once ensnared, she infused Spiritual Power into the threads to seal the opponents’ Spirit Mansion and powers, then knocked them out before tossing them into the courtyard of the Flying Heaven Palace.

Inside the Flying Heaven Palace, Lu Tianyi and his guards were ready, eagerly awaiting the chance. They had already prepared chains capable of sealing Spiritual Energy.

Seeing Tan Shuangshuang toss the captives in, they immediately rushed forward, locking the individuals with chains from head to toes, including special mouth gags made of walnut-like materials, ensuring no escape.

Just as Tan Shuangshuang threw the individuals into the Flying Heaven Palace, a sudden change occurred! At the moment the captured ones were dropped, four figures clad in black, also wearing ghost masks, suddenly emerged from the giant trees on both sides.

These four did not wield knives but flying swords. More importantly, the sword blades exuded a killing intent, and even before they came near, the oppressive, unmoving murderous aura encompassed Tan Shuangshuang.

Tan Shuangshuang’s expression turned serious and focused, no longer as relaxed as before. The sudden attackers were Martial Sect level sword cultivators who had comprehended Sword Intent!

Tan Shuangshuang could battle across a Great Realm, and a sword cultivator who comprehended Sword Intent, although not as heaven-defying, could still claim invincibility within the same realm. Even if only at the Martial Sect First Rank, their Attack Power equaled that of Martial Sect Perfection.

Tan Shuangshuang, now at Martial King Perfection, had Attack Power comparable to Martial Sect Perfection. She was confident that against four with Martial Sect Perfection, she could grapple with a few moves to capture or kill them, but that would be against ordinary Martial Sect.

However, the four attacking Martial Sects were not average; they were formidable sword cultivators, initially powerful, and stronger still due to comprehending Sword Intent, making them notably tougher and more formidable than regular Martial Sects.
