Chapter 94 The Death of the Nine-Headed Demon Saint
"My surname is Cai. My ancestors came from the Eastern Wilderness, so I can be considered half a person from the Eastern Wilderness," said Old Taoist Cai, taking a sip of wine.
The powerful figures from the Eastern Wilderness, Southern Ridge, Northern Plains, Western Desert, and Central State were all greatly surprised to see Cai Laodao ascend the battle platform.
Before the old Taoist priest appeared, none of the people present were able to detect his presence.
Even now, as he has taken the stage, living fossils of various religions cannot fathom his true nature.
"Old Taoist priest—surname Cai—ancestor came from the Eastern Wilderness—" Qin Feng murmured softly, then a look of shock appeared on his face.
He suddenly remembered that six thousand years later, Ye Hei accidentally discovered a reclusive human sage in a Taoist temple in the mountains of Zhongzhou.
He was short in stature and had lived for nearly eight thousand years. Although his specific identity was unknown, according to Ye Hei's subsequent investigation, this great sage of the human race was very likely a member of the Cai family and was related to the third generation of the Source Celestial Master seventy thousand years ago.
In order to overcome the ominous curse that plagued Yuan Tianshi in his later years, the third-generation Yuan Tianshi led the entire Cai family to relocate to the Qinling Mountains in Zhongzhou in search of a solution, but they still failed. Since then, the entire Cai clan has seemed to be cursed.
Every so often, the Red Hair Curse would strike the Cai family, driving them mad and wreaking havoc in the region, a veritable mini-dark upheaval. Later, the Azure Emperor appeared out of nowhere and wiped out the entire Cai clan with a single finger. Old Taoist Cai was very likely the survivor of the Cai clan.
"Old Taoist priest with a bull's nose"
The Nine-Headed Demon Saint stared warily at Old Taoist Cai, looking him over and over again, before his large, bell-like pupils suddenly contracted.
"It's you!!!"
The Nine-Headed Demon Saint sensed the subtle aura emanating from the old Taoist priest, the same one that the mysterious human who had ambushed him in the Holy City a month earlier.
"You were the one who got in my way that day in the Holy City!!!"
Upon hearing this, a commotion erupted throughout the entire Jade Pool.
One of the biggest mysteries surrounding the major events in the Holy City a month ago has been revealed.
That day, the Nine-Headed Demon Saint personally went out to seize the rare treasure and divine medicine, but was ambushed by unknown people and left in bloodshed.
During this period, the entire northern region of the Eastern Wilderness was abuzz with discussion, with countless people debating which human sage had intervened that day.
Now, the answer has been revealed.
A powerful royal uncle from the Great Xia Dynasty in Central China looked at the old Taoist priest on the platform, and his pupils suddenly contracted. He couldn't help but exclaim, "It's actually that person!!!"
The Emperor of Jiuli also sensed something and said, "Could he be the elusive founder of the Vermilion Bird Sect?"
"The creator of the Shaoyang True Scripture!"
"It is said to possess one-fifth of the meaning of the Sun Sutra —"
One after another, the various schools of thought and powerful figures spoke up, revealing the identity of Master Cai.
Soon, the prominent figures from the ancient families and holy lands of the Eastern Wilderness also remembered the ancient secrets.
"The surname Cai — There was indeed a Cai clan in the Eastern Wilderness 70,000 years ago, but they migrated as a whole for some unknown reasons."
"I remember now, the Cai clan was once very powerful in the Qinling Mountains of Zhongzhou, but they were wiped out overnight thousands of years ago," a living fossil of Zhongzhou said.
"What! Annihilated overnight? Who can wipe out a powerful clan overnight?" Many people were shocked.
If Master Cai truly came from the Cai clan, his ability to attain sainthood in this degenerate age demonstrates the strength of his clan.
"Is that even a question? Thousands of years ago, there was only one person who could do this so easily," the head of the Ji family said quietly.
The entire Jade Pool fell silent for a moment, then a chorus of gasps filled the air.
Qing Emperor! ! !
The last enlightened being of the post-ancient era.
At this moment, people seemed to understand why Master Cai had stepped forward.
The human race's solution to the mystery was not kept secret from the demon court, and thus, the demon race also learned of Cai Laodao's identity.
"You remnant of the Cai clan who escaped His Majesty the Azure Emperor's extermination, are you deliberately trying to cause trouble for my Demon Court to seek revenge?" the Nine-Headed Demon Saint demanded sharply.
"Revenge? Heh," Old Master Cai laughed, tilting his head back to take a big gulp of wine. "All that has passed is but smoke and clouds. Right and wrong are of little significance. I was just passing by."
"Just passing by? Nobody would believe that." The Nine-Headed Demon Saint sneered, not believing it at all.
However, that is indeed the case.
Master Cai had a close relationship with someone from the Tianxuan Holy Land.
Upon hearing the news of the complete annihilation of the Tianxuan Holy Land in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, Old Daoist Cai rushed from Zhongzhou to the Eastern Wilderness. He then traveled all the way and happened to arrive at the Holy City a month ago.
As a sage of the human race, Old Daoist Cai naturally could not stand idly by and watch the demon saint run rampant and slaughter the holy city, so he took action.
The reason I am at Yaochi is by chance. I remembered that my ancestor, Master Yuan, once said that Yaochi nurtures the Holy Spirit, so I came to take a look and also to participate in the Peach Banquet.
"I'm a little tired. Let's go to the outer heavens for a quick battle." Old Taoist Cai stretched.
"Very well, if you want to fight, then let's fight." The Nine-Headed Demon Saint transformed into his nine-headed lion form, leaped into the sky, and was already beyond the heavens.
Cai Laodao followed closely behind, took a step forward, and ascended to the sky on a rainbow.
The ancient battlefield of Yaochi can support battles between powerful beings, but it is still too narrow for a sage.
The battlefields of sages often exist beyond the heavens.
"Quickly, quickly, inscribe the array patterns and project the battle from beyond the heavens."
A clash between sages is a once-in-a-millennium event in this degenerate age.
With the help of powerful rulers and great beings from all sides, and with the assistance of the power of the Jade Pool, a celestial scene was revealed.
Everyone expected to witness an epic battle between saints, but the final result was a complete surprise.
"Huh? Did the location lock fail?"
"It shouldn't have gone wrong, this is it!"
"Why is there absolutely no sign of a fight?!"
The elders of all the major sects craned their necks, filled with suspicion.
"No—no, it's not that there was no battle, it's that the battle is over!" a living fossil-level expert exclaimed.
"Look, that's holy blood—and the head of the demon saint—hiss!" Gasps of astonishment filled the air.
"How—how could such a thing possibly happen!"
"That, that, that—that lion's head—it, it, it—"
"It's only been a short time, not even five minutes! How can this be—"
The most unacceptable outcome was naturally to the powerful members of the Demon Court.
From the moment the two saints ascended to heaven, it took only a few minutes.
However, the battle of the saints in the outer battlefield has come to an end.
Nine enormous lion heads lined up in the sky.
The Nine-Headed Lion Demon Saint of the Demon Court, his blood spilled across the starry sky, was dead beyond any doubt.
Although no one witnessed the process, it is easy to imagine that it was an absolutely one-sided and overwhelming battle.
Although unexpected, upon closer reflection, it makes perfect sense.
Even though they are both at the fourth level of the Sendai realm, the difference between them can sometimes be greater than that between a person and a dog.
The Nine-Headed Lion Demon Saint of the Demon Court was able to become a saint only under the "promotion" of the Azure Emperor. He took shortcuts along the way and can be said to be a fake saint.
However, Cai Laodao was different. Like Gai Jiuyou, he focused on the suppression of the Great Dao after the death of the Azure Emperor and defied the heavens to become a saint over the past few thousand years.
The combat prowess of a saint honed in such an environment is naturally far superior to that of a mediocre demon saint from the Demon Court.
Swish!
Just as everyone in Yaochi was still in shock, Old Taoist Cai returned from beyond the realm, leading a string of nine lion heads.
"Fellow Daoists, today this old Daoist will treat you to braised lion's head meatballs."
