Chapter 1386: Chapter 1386

Master Sun used the National Master’s Divine Beast Xuanwu to deter the Stone People instead of directly releasing Brother, because Brother was of a higher rank. If the Stone People plotted against the Xuanwu Divine Beast, Brother could come in as a backup, giving them a "surprise."

Master Sun’s "recommendation" of the Red Clan Barbarian Continent was of course not without ulterior motives, but it was not that he really wanted the Stone People to harm the Red Clan Barbarians. Master Sun already considered the Red Clan Barbarian Continent as part of his area of influence; if the Stone People actually went there and the situation became uncontrollable, all of Master Sun’s previous arrangements would have been in vain.

Moreover, the Stone People’s inheritance, like a locust disaster, would be a catastrophe for all living creatures if it were to spread.

Therefore, Master Sun’s recommendation was actually a psychological tactic to make the Stone People cautious and avoid that continent at all costs.

However, Master Sun was actually quite curious about one thing: what would be the outcome if the Stone People’s Dao lineage collided with the faith of the Evil God? Imagining the Ten-Thousand Dust Returning to Origin Skill preparing to assimilate the divine power of believers, and the Evil God’s shadow emerging from within the believer’s soul — would the Stone People be able to solve this problem?

Leroy Baker and Burton Benson were waiting outside when they suddenly saw the tea house that they so dreaded disappear out of thin air, as if it had never existed in the first place. The oppressive air they felt before dissipated as well. Then, Leroy Baker caught a glimpse of two beautiful figures flitting past their master’s side!

"This is big news!" Leroy Baker’s eyes widened, realizing that Alexia and others did not invite him for a drink. He would definitely not important news with them!

"Master has hidden beauties...but it seems off; there’s no golden house, just hidden beauties. The problem is, he has two at once? Impressive! Everyone thought he was alone, but he’s quietly enjoying a blessed life!"

Suddenly, Burton Benson slapped him, and Leroy Baker, whose thoughts were wandering, followed the direction Benson pointed to see the Stone People among the mountains... Emitting an even stronger green light, they stood up and treaded towards the depths of the mountains, disappearing in a blink of an eye!

Leroy Baker was astonished: Master’s two favorites must be powerful; it was obvious that they had joined forces to drive away the Stone People.

Master Sun instructed Leroy Baker, "Monitor all those cultivators who have practiced the Myriad Dust Returning to Origin Skill and immediately inform me if there are any changes."

"Yes." Leroy Baker obeyed. Now Master Sun only needed to know the final outcome, while the whole process was left to his subordinates. How they accomplished it and whether they did it well was the true test of Master Sun’s expectations.

Leroy Baker couldn’t directly arrest these cultivators as they hadn’t done anything illegal, and Master Sun had made a promise. He couldn’t recruit them under the name of the Horizon Bureau and confine them to doing nothing but practice either. Soon enough, Leroy Baker, a cunning man, came up with a plan: he bribed the most powerful cultivator among them. This person, in turn, contacted everyone secretly and called for the formation of the Myriad Dust Alliance!

They considered themselves a mysterious organization with great prospects! As long as they cultivated step by step, they could all reach the Ninth Great Realm, with the only difference being the speed. Hence, the Myriad Dust Alliance was bound to become the most powerful sect in the entire Cultivation World.

With this, most of the cultivators who had switched to the Myriad Dust Returning to Origin Skill were under Leroy Baker’s control. At the beginning, the organization might require some funding from Young Master Baker, but later on, they would be able to undertake missions and even make substantial profits! He would also be the first to know if anything went wrong.

Master Sun did not stay in Fying River City but returned directly to the frontline of the Eight Cities of Swallow Nest. The Stone People incident served as a wake-up call for him: as the Origin Resurgence accelerated, more ancient beings would awaken, and they could now exert the power of the Eighth Realm. Although the Stone People this time were weird, they would not engage in a do-or-die struggle with Master Sun. However, it would be difficult to say the same for other Tire-8 beings, especially those from the Demon Clan.

Master Sun increasingly missed Predecessor Santa and worried whether Santa would still hold good intentions under the current situation, given how much he relied on him. Thus, the most reliable figures were, as always, Brother and Alexia.

When the Wood Dynasty’s reinforcements arrived, the Eight Cities of Swallow Nest were on high alert. No matter how rotten the internals of the Demon Court were, they did not dare to slack in such a major battle. One after another, Tire-7 Demon Saints arrived from the Demon Court, and soon, five of the most important positions in the Eight Cities of Swallow Nest were occupied by Tire-7 figures! At the Tire-7 level, this gave them a huge five-to-three advantage over the Wood Dynasty.

The Nine Witch Demon Court reacted quickly, with General Ghost Rider Hugo Crow playing a crucial role. He ran around the Demon Court, employing all his connections. If it wasn’t for him, the Demon Court would have sent, at most, three Demon Saints.

As soon as the fifth Demon Saint appeared in the Eight Cities of Swallow Nest, Master Sun sat alone in front of both armies in meditation. It seemed as if he was trying to comprehend something or waiting for a specific opportunity.

On the side of the Wood Dynasty, Harrison and Rock George also didn’t know what Master Sun intended to do. They only knew that before Master Sun left, His Majesty had sent a messenger to deliver a batch of items to Master Sun. Only Master Sun and His Majesty knew what was sent, as the Storage Brocade Pouch was sealed, and the messenger didn’t dare to peek.
