Chapter 584: Chapter 584

The Western Cow Hezhou had been devoid of demon traces for several days already.

The people in black robes originally at Mount Meru had also vanished without a trace, as if they had evaporated from the human world.

Now, it had been completely flattened by Yuanshi Celestial Venerable with fifty thousand celestial soldiers, and all remnants of the Demon Clan in Western Cow Hezhou had disappeared.

There were also many Immortals appearing in Western Cow Hezhou, guarding the lands.

The Celestial Court is always in operation, especially since Yuanshi Celestial Venerable had reclaimed Western Cow Hezhou, so the Celestial Court had to confer titles to the Immortal Officials of Western Cow Hezhou.

When the appointment came, although they knew Western Cow Hezhou was still a treacherous place, many Immortals still came forward.

Of course, most of the Immortals who came, even if they did not come, only served as celestial soldiers and generals without any real power, and they had no backers in the Celestial Court.

They had no treasures of heaven and earth of any value to offer up to the Star Lords.

So now, even if they were reluctant to accept their appointments, they still had to be grateful.

After all, such a minor appointment was not something just anyone could obtain.

As a few Immortals just reached the Mara Mountain Range, located in the southwest, feeling the pitifully thin spiritual energy, they comforted themselves by thinking that they were now Immortal Officials endowed with heavenly merit, so the absorption of this meager spiritual energy hardly mattered.

They arrived at the base of the Mara Mountain.

They prepared to build a cave dwelling for their own rest and cultivation here.

"How does this not feel right?"

One of the Immortals felt something was off after arriving below the Mara Mountain, feeling as if they had deviated from some path and lost contact with the Three Realms.

Just as one of the Immortals sensed something was amiss and was preparing to leave, a huge hand suddenly appeared from behind that Immortal.

Even though they had become Immortals, in terms of power, they essentially had no capability to resist this hand; they were instantly seized and effortlessly annihilated.

As for the other Immortals, they also had no ability to resist whatsoever.

"Buddha Ancestor was right, someone really did find this place."

As these Immortals died, the long-unseen figure of the person in the black robe emerged from underground.

However, he was just a fleeting shadow, appearing for a moment before vanishing once again.

Continuing to hide in the shadows, becoming undetectable!

"Now that both King Meimei and King Taiyou are dead, we must hurry and bring the Saints from beyond the heavens here, otherwise the only path left for us is death."

"Meanwhile, in the Suyu Realm, people like Ksitigarbha who disappeared on the outside are all here."

Jiang Ziya’s expression was grim, originally thinking that a move would resolve the two Quasi-Saints, but they had overestimated the capabilities of Haotian Yaochi and others.

However, the only slight consolation was that the other side had lost a Quasi-Saint as well, an experienced one at that.

They had not lost everything after all.

"We must make contact with those beyond the heavens now."

"The number of Quasi-Saints in the Three Realms is too many now, we must first divide their forces."

"However, even if those Saints’ avatars go back, we can’t be sure we’ll beat them!"

Ksitigarbha agreed with Jiang Ziya’s opinion, but the key issue was that even if four Saint avatars left the Three Realms, there were still over twenty Quasi-Saints.

In this scenario, their group of seven people plus the severely wounded Poxun made up only eight people, making it eight against twenty-three. Even if Ksitigarbha and Jiang Ziya were powerful, they couldn’t guarantee a win and might even suffer a crushing defeat.

"The factions of the Three Realms are not so unified, the Expounding Teachings Sect and the Cutting Teachings Sect are always at odds. If we can exploit this, we definitely have a chance,"

Haotian thought of Wang Yang’s detestable face, wishing he could annihilate him.

Deserters from the righteous path must be punished, this saying had a significant impact on Haotian.

"It’s not that simple; with Daoist Ancestor Hongjun overseeing above, even Yuanshi Celestial Venerable wouldn’t dare to disobey openly."

"Moreover, if the Demon Clan Saints attack the Three Realms, Yuanshi Celestial Venerable would also need to return to beyond the heavens. Then, would those Quasi-Saints from the Expounding Teachings Sect still dare to disobey Wang Yang’s orders?"

Yaoji looked disdainfully at Haotian, feeling that he was somewhat overly idealistic.

Haotian did not refute her words but his gaze toward Yaoji subtly changed.

"Enough, dividing the discord between Expounding Teachings Sect and Cutting Teachings Sect is an impossible task. However, we have the opportunity to make contact with the Shamanic Tribe."

"I will send a message to those beyond the heavens later, and also reach out to those Ancestor Witches, giving them a chance to surrender."

Ksitigarbha made the decision, and including Jiang Ziya, no one had any objections.

"Let’s all stay in the Suyu Realm for now. This place is not monitored by the Three Realms, so it is definitely safe."

Jiang Ziya sighed heavily, seeming to regret that he did not ally with the other side when he first learned of Journey to the West’s Calamity of Measurement.

If they had managed to recruit Wang Yang to their side back then, they wouldn’t be hiding in the Suyu Realm now.

With Wang Yang on their side, they could have dominated the Three Realms in an instant.

"Ghost Car, Buddha of Bright Virtue and Ocean, the two of you must watch the surroundings of the Suyu Realm. If anyone of the Daluo Golden Immortal level appears, you must treat them with caution!"

"Also, do not act unless absolutely necessary."

Ksitigarbha re-emphasized, seemingly worried.

After all, their current location was an extremely safe place, existing between illusion and reality.

Lingering outside the Three Realms, yet within the Five Elements.

Even Sun Wukong, who had developed his Fiery Golden Eyes, could not see through everything.

But they feared accidental encounters, just like those newly appointed minor deities.

After speaking, everyone in the Suyu Realm found a spot to continue their cultivation.
