Chapter 399

All the Demon Sages entered the High Priest's house without anyone else.

Gu Chen entered behind the Honey Badger Demon Sage, looking very conspicuous.

"Why did you let a junior in?" The White Tiger Demon Sage looked displeased.

"There's nothing wrong with his identity."

The Honey Badger Demon Sage answered casually. Then, he took out array flags from his storage ring and threw them at the four corners of the house, forming an array that isolated the house from the outside world.

In this way, no matter what was being discussed inside, outsiders would not be able to find anything even if they used their divine senses or eyes to spy on them.

"You've never been a cautious person, but you're so serious this time. It seems that what you want to say is very important."

The High Priest's expression turned serious. "Let's continue the previous topic. What did you find in the Thousand Refinements Holy Clan?"

"It's better for Daoist Jiang to explain."

The Honey Badger Demon Sage took out a Beast Rearing Bag and poured it on the ground. An old man with a gray beard appeared in the house.

"Old Man Jiang Buzhuo greets fellow Daoists of the demon race."

The old man tidied his clothes and introduced himself.

"You're the number one blacksmith on the continent, Jiang Buzhuo?"

Many Demon Sages were shocked. They didn't expect Jiang Buzhuo to come to the Nanling Mountains and hide in a Beast Rearing Bag.

Gu Chen was also surprised to see Jiang Buzhuo. Not only was he the number one blacksmith on the continent, but he was also an important blacksmith grandmaster of the human race. Wasn't he afraid of danger by coming to the demon race's territory?

"I've heard a lot about you, Daoist Jiang. Let's cut to the chase. What happened?"

The High Priest's expression darkened. Jiang Buzhuo's arrival meant that the situation was more serious than he had imagined.

"The Old Man hasn't returned to the Thousand Refinements Holy Clan for half a year. When I went back with Daoist Honey Badger, I found out that the higher-ups of the sect thought that the Old Man was held hostage by Huangfu Wuji!"

Jiang Buzhuo looked gloomy when he mentioned this. "There's something fishy about Huangfu Wuji being able to unify the Middle Earth Empire in half a year. According to the Old Man, almost all the most important higher-ups of the Nine States, Two Courts, Three Families, Four Sacred Lands, and Five Sacred Sects have been held hostage by him and are now being held in an unknown place.

"Because the leaders of the major forces are under his control, all the forces now respect him completely!"

"How is this possible?"

The expressions of the Demon Sages of the South Mountains changed drastically. None of the major factions in the Middle Lands were weak, especially their leaders, who were famous experts on the continent.

"Puji Holy Monk of the Buddhist Sect, Luo Haicheng, the Sacred Leader of the South Flower Holy Land … Are all these experts controlled?"

The Grand Priest could not help but ask.

"Everything should be under control. A few months ago, not long after Huangfu Wuji annihilated the Central Plains royal family and the Celestial Court, he sent out invitations to the leaders of the various powers. Among them, the Thousand Refinements Saint Sect invited the Old Man. "

"All the leaders went to the banquet and never came back. Not long after, the second in command of each faction received news from Huangfu Wuji. Huangfu Wuji wants all the major powers to bow their heads and support him to ascend the throne. Otherwise, he will kill all the leaders of the major powers. "

"My Thousand Refinements Saint Sect also received the news. Huangfu Wuji said that the Old Man was also under his control, and my foolish disciples believed him. It was only when the Old Man returned safely from Baijing Prefecture that my sect understood the truth. "

The Demon Sages slowly digested this shocking fact. They did not expect Huangfu Wuji to use such a method to control the major human forces.

Gu Chen had not heard of this before, but he soon recalled a noteworthy detail from the coronation ceremony.

Back then, his clone had snuck into the coronation ceremony. Various forces had gathered in the Royal City Plaza. Apart from his maternal grandfather, the other major powers had sent only the second in command. He had not seen any of the well-known leaders!

"Huangfu Wuji is actually able to control so many Sages at the same time without letting anyone know about it. It seems like his foundation is deeper than we thought."

The Demon Sage of the Dragon Tribe suddenly felt his heart sink.

"Grandmaster Jiang, since you have returned to your own sect, why have you come to my Southern Mountains?" The Demon Sage of the Five Elements Tribe asked curiously.

"Although the Old Man has returned to his sect, and the Thousand Refinements Saint Sect is no longer in the hands of the Huangfu Clan, the major powers of the Nine Prefectures are now firmly under his control. If the news of the Old Man's return is made known, it will be extremely disadvantageous to my Thousand Refinements Saint Sect.

"The Old Man has thought about it. If Huangfu Wuji uses such a method to firmly control the various sects, then what difference is there between us and slaves?

"The major powers are now afraid of taking action, and do not dare to voice their anger. In that case, only the Old Man can do his bit.

"The Old Man has come to the Southern Mountains in the hope of seeking cooperation with all of you. If there is a chance, save the leaders of the major powers!"

Jiang Buzhuo's eyes revealed a ruthless glint. "As long as the leaders of the major powers regain their freedom, combined with the strength of the Southern Mountains Demon Tribe, we might be able to overthrow Huangfu Wuji's terrifying rule!

"If we can't get rid of him, he will soon unite all the major powers of the Nine Prefectures, and the lineage of the various sects will be severed! This person is too ambitious. He wants everyone in the world to work for him! "

The Demon Sages couldn't help but look at each other. One of them asked, "Then, Master Jiang, do you know where the leaders of the major powers of the Middle Earth are trapped?"

Jiang Buzhuo shook his head. "Currently, the Old Man is alone, and the Thousand Refinements Saint Sect is also under surveillance. They can't mobilize their manpower at will, so we don't have any leads. You might not know this, but Huangfu Wuji has already sent people to infiltrate the major powers of the Middle Earth and is gradually integrating them.

"According to his plan, in about three to five years, all the major powers will be reduced to an organization under the Imperial Court."

Jiang Buzhuo sneered. He hated Huangfu Wuji's sinister intentions to the bone.

After listening to the information brought by Jiang Buzhuo, the Sages of the Southern Mountains fell into a long silence.

Jiang Buzhuo's shocking words made them feel that Huangfu Wuji would be difficult to deal with.

If all the leaders of the major powers of the Middle Earth joined forces, they wouldn't be any weaker than the Demon Sages present. However, they were all controlled by Huangfu Wuji. Although they didn't know how he did it, the thought of it still sent chills down their spines.

"It seems like the Middle Earth Empire is already united. Our advantage is gone!" The Demon Sage of the Jia Clan said solemnly. He was an old black tortoise.

The Sages nodded. For a long time, the Southern Mountains Demon Tribe had been feared by others because they were very united.

Although the Middle Earth Empire was powerful, the factions were complicated and often had their own way of doing things. Even the Imperial Court couldn't command all the major powers, so if a war broke out between the two sides, the Southern Mountains Demon Tribe would have a significant advantage.

However, Huangfu Wuji had already solved this problem. Although he was implementing a terrifying rule, all the major powers of the Middle Earth Empire had been integrated by him, and their combat strength was much higher than before!

Adding on the Underworld God Palace, Yellow Spring Pavilion, Kunlun Sword, Kunlun Mirror, and the weapon king armory …
