War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens
chapter-2088

“The Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion was killed with just one move?” Li Rou, in particular, and Li Fei were shocked when they heard Wang Fei Xuan’s words.

As the wife of the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, Duan Ru Feng, she was always with him. Naturally, she had heard about various things in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land from Duan Ru Feng. She had a great understanding of the various forces in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Based on what she knew, although the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion was not a match for her husband, her husband still would not be able to kill him with just one move before breaking through to the Quintessential Saint Stage!

However, Wang Fei Xuan had just said a monster had managed to kill the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion with just one move. If it was real, how strong must the monster be?

Duan Nian Tian was the only one who did not understand what Wang Fei Xuan had said due to his young age.

Duan Ru Feng, on the other hand, was not surprised by Wang Fei Xuan’s words. His expression darkened as he muttered, “It seems like more than one Ox Devil have crossed over to the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land…” What he was most worried about had happened.

Although Duan Ru Feng managed to kill the Ox Devil who broke into the Azure Cloud Mansion back then, he did not feel relieved. Instead, he was ladened with worries.

The appearance of Ox Devils did not bode well for the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Ox Devils were creatures that existed in the Land of Exile. Now that it was confirmed more than one Ox Devils had appeared, there was no doubt there was a problem with the space barrier between the Dao Martial Saint Land and the Land of Exile.

Since the Ox Devils had discovered the problem with the space barrier and managed to cross over, it stood to reason other Ox Devils or other Devils would eventually discover it as well and cross over to the Dao Martial Saint Land. It was even possible that the Ox Devils had come as scouts before the others cross over.

If that was the case, the Dao Martial Saint Land was about to enter the Human-Devil Era again and descend into chaos and misery!

“Ox Devil?”

Although Duan Ru Feng did not speak loudly, Li Rou and the others heard him. All of them turned to look at him immediately. It was the first time they heard of Ox Devils.

“Grandpa, what’s an Ox Devil?” Duan Nian Tian asked as he blinked his eyes innocently when he heard Duan Ru Feng’s words.

“Fei’er, bring Nian Tian away for now. It’s time I tell all of you some things. I’ll go ahead and tell Li Rou about it first. She’ll tell you about it later.” Duan Ru Feng sent a Voice Transmission to Li Fei, asking her to bring Duan Nian Tian away. It was obvious what he was going to say was not suitable to be said in front of Duan Nian Tian.

Although Li Fei did not know what it was about, she heard the solemnity in Duan Ru Feng’s voice. Therefore, she was sensible enough not to question him and coax Duan Nian Tian to leave with her.

After that, only Duan Ru Feng, Li Rou, and Wang Fei Xuan were left in the spacious hall.

“Brother Feng, did you ask Fei’er to bring Nian Tian away?” Li Rou asked. Since she was Duan Ru Feng’s wife, she could tell when he was behaving abnormally. It was not difficult for her to guess what her husband had done. It was obvious what her husband was about to say was not appropriate for their grandchild to listen to.

“En.” Duan Ru Feng nodded and said solemnly, “Nian Tian is still young. I don’t want him to know about these things for now. I don’t want him to live in a state of fear…”

Ox Devils came from the Land of Exile and they were here during the Human-Devil Period many, many years ago. It would not be hard to imagine if his grandchild learned about such a dark time in human history, it would definitely be distressing for his grandchild. It would be detrimental to his grandchild’s growth. In short, it would do nothing but harm him.

Upon hearing Duan Ru Feng’s words, Li Rou knew she had guessed correctly. She took a deep breath as she asked, “Brother Feng, please don’t scare me… What’s going on?”

Li Rou knew her husband very well. He was a cautious person and would not simply jump to conclusions. For this reason, she felt chills running up her spine when she heard his words.

“The Ox Devils I mentioned earlier came from the Land of Exile…”

Faced with Li Rou’s question and Wang Fei Xuan’s curious expression, Duan Ru Feng revealed the origin of the Ox Devils. He also told them about the Human-Devil Era that happened more than 100,000 years ago.

Whether it was Li Rou or Wang Fei Xuan, they instantly turned pale from fright.

War had broken out between humans and devils during the Human-Devil Era. Many humans were killed and devoured. Apart from strong powerhouses, many humans who survived were on their last breath. In turn, many of them became Devil Cultivators.

During that era, it was pure chaos. No one could live in peace, not even people on the Mortal Continent.

“Devil… Devil clan?”

“Land of Exile?”

Li Rou and Wang Fei Xuan were scared speechless when they learned about the existence of the Land of Exile and the strength of those from the Devil Clan.

“Miss Fei Xuan, the Ox Devil that broke into the Mystical Sky Mansion… How tall was it?” Duan Ru Feng suddenly asked as he looked at Wang Fei Xuan.

Wang Fei Xuan finally regained her senses when she heard Duan Ru Feng’s question. After she mustered up her courage, her face restored its colors. She thought about it for a moment before she answered, “I think it’s about four meters tall… It should be less than five meters tall, but it’s definitely taller than four meters!”

“If that’s the case, the strength of the Ox Devil who broke into the Mystical Sky Mansion is about the same as the Ox Devil who broke into the Azure Cloud Mansion back then…” Duan Ru Feng said calmly as he nodded. However, his expression was tensed.

“An Ox Devil broke into the Azure Cloud Mansion as well?” Li Rou’s expression changed immediately when she heard Duan Ru Feng’s words. She had a worried expression on her face as she hurriedly asked, “When did this happen? Brother Feng, you didn’t tell me about it!” It was obvious she was kept in the dark about the Ox Devil breaking into the Azure Cloud Mansion.

“I didn’t want you to worry, that’s why I didn’t tell you about it. Moreover, I’ve already killed it,” Duan Ru Feng said with a sigh.

“Killed it?”

When Li Rou and Wang Fei Xuan heard Duan Ru Feng’s words, both of them were stunned.

The powerful devil that killed the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky with just one move was killed by Duan Ru Feng?

“The Ox Devils’ strength is measured by their heights. In the Ox Devil Clan, there are many Ox Devils that are much stronger than the Ox Devils that broke into the Mystical Sky Mansion and the Azure Cloud Mansion!” Duan Ru Feng explained as his tone turned more solemn.

“Originally I thought it was possible only one Ox Devil managed to cross over to Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land and chanced upon the Azure Cloud Mansion. However, it seems like there are more than just one Ox Devils that have crossed over!” Duan Ling Tian said with a wary expression, “I’ve killed one and there’s one at the Mystical Sky Mansion… I’m afraid there would be other Ox Devils in other places as well.” A hint of fear could be seen on Duan Ru Feng’s face when he finished speaking.

…

At the Western Region of the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.

Apart from the Fire Worship Sect, very few people knew about another powerful force in the Western Region. Even the Fire Worship Sect was wary of it. It was none other than the Phoenix Clan.

The Phoenix Clan was an extremely mysterious clan. It was even more mysterious than the Dragon Clan. This was because of the rules that had been laid down by the ancestors of the Phoenix Clan many years ago.

Members of the Phoenix Clan could not leave the clan. Whoever left the clan without permission would be hunted down or expelled from the clan. With that rule in place, no matter how eager the members of the Phoenix Clan were to see the outside world, they had no choice but to abide by the rule.

As the old saying went, ‘A phoenix does not roost on a land without treasure!’

The Phoenix Clan’s estate was located in the north of the Western Region. That place was like a paradise, completely isolated from the outside world.

The reason phoenix clan chose this place as their estate was because, similar to the Fire Worship Sect, there was a quasi celestial-grade Saint Stone reserve below the ground. Naturally, it was smaller than the quasi celestial-grade Saint Stone reserve in the Fire Worship Sect’s estate.

In the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, it was said that there were only three quasi celestial-grade Saint Stone reserves, and they were monopolized by the three great sects. In fact, this rumor was deliberately spread by the three great sects as a show of power.

The Phoenix Clan remained isolated due to a formation that was a combination of various offensive and hallucinatory formations.

If one’s cultivation base was not at or above the Saint Celestial Stage, one would not be able to see through the hallucinatory formations in the formation! Moreover, without a cultivation base at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, one would not be able to defend against the offensive formations in the formation!

However, today, an uninvited guest that had come to the Phoenix Clan.

Hu!

A gust of wind blew past.

In the next moment, an elderly figure materialized in front of the huge formation shrouding the Phoenix Clan’s estate.

A white-haired old man with a sage-like appearance stood in mid-air, looking like a deity.

If Han Xue Nai was here, she would recognize this person. It was none other than the Old Prophet, the previous generation’s heir to the Second Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, Prophet Progeny!
