As the demon cultivators conversed amongst themselves,
they continually shared the explosive news of the cross-realm marriage with their familiar demon cultivator friends from various sects.
Thus,
as they moved forward, the crowd of demon cultivators gathering to watch grew increasingly larger.
Several two-hour periods later,
the crowd was a dense mass of people beyond estimation.
Even if it wasn’t half of the Great Wilderness State’s demon cultivators, it was at least a good twenty to thirty percent!
Southern Heavenly Realm.
A giant ancient fountain spewed a milk-white water column a thousand feet high.
The spray of water spread in all directions, dissipating into sparkling droplets in the wind, forming an inverted hemisphere of light.
It emitted a sacred glow, the most feared object by the Ancient Giants,
especially those transformed from the Asura Clan.
Touching it would cause them to revert to the Asura Clan.
Its effect was very similar to that of the Saint Crystal.
And under the great sacred light dome,
a bustling Asura city came into view.
Compared to the Black Cloud Village,
the Asura city before them was hundreds of times larger.
The city’s civilization was prosperous, rivaling even the Human Clan cities in Central Earth.
In the Southern Heavenly Realm, where the Asura Clan had become captive prey, this city was akin to a Holy Land.
In the city’s center,
a delicate courtyard was nestled amidst the bustling market.
A gentle stream flowed around a rockery, carrying several beautifully chasing little fish.
A few plants filled with a quiet floral fragrance bloomed silently.
Under a pine tree,
a girl in a black long dress with a graceful figure sat at a stone table.
She wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, her expression calm.
The wind blew, lightly lifting her black hair, revealing a stunning side profile.
The few sheets of paper in her hand also lightly flipped in the breeze.
One of them, written in Hell Language, read: "A secret move of an Ancient Giant unit from the Central Tribe."
"Destination unknown."
At this point,
her elegant eyebrows slightly furrowed as she quietly pondered:
"The Central Tribe is facing the strongest of Central State in Central Earth, the toughest nut to crack."
"Every soldier is invaluable."
"Why did they suddenly move a unit? Who are they coming for?"
After many possibilities flashed through her mind, her brows furrowed even tighter.
Because she realized that there were two most likely targets,
one of which might be their village!
"Our village has never been breached, giving rise to many Asura Kings who even the Giant King perceives as threats."
"It’s long been a thorn in the side of the Ancient Giants."
"Now, with less than half a month until the Heavenly Realm’s centennial grand hunt,
"it’s very possible they are moving an army to join local tribes in attacking our village."
She paused, then shifted her tone: "But, it might not be aiming for us."
"It could be heading for Taicang State instead!"
"Jiang Fan destroyed the Ancient Sky Pit, plundered the Black Sun Royal Court’s arsenal, weakening the Black Sun Royal Court’s power."
"Reinforcing the Black Sun Royal Court is also a strong possibility."
She set down the paper and adjusted her glasses, sighing slightly.
"But whoever they are coming for, it’s not good news."
As she was contemplating,
