Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 904 - 454: Surviving the Calamity, Gaining a First-Grade Opportunity

Soon enough, a large group of Divinity Transformation Demons showed up at the lair of the Blood-eyed Demon Wolf Race.

They started rummaging around without a hint of politeness, hunting for any sign of Cang Ya.

However, it didn't take long for them to figure out that Cang Ya was nowhere to be found in this spot.

"This is odd—where on earth has that brat Cang Ya vanished to? Why isn't he hanging around his own den?"

"And to top it off, we can't reach him at all now."

The green-eyed Divinity Transformation Demon furrowed his brow, brimming with irritation.

In his mind, that fellow was straight-up shirking his responsibilities.

Even worse, though, this was dragging out their precious time.

To be honest, none of them had any desire to linger in the Cyan Stone Mountain Range this long.

Ideally, they'd wrap up the mission in just a couple of days and head back to the Cyan Stone Demon Cave.

Yet without Cang Ya's assistance, pinpointing the precise spots of those human outposts would be no easy feat.

"Maybe something serious has befallen Cang Ya after all—is he actually dead?"

One more Divinity Transformation Demon ventured a guess.

"Dead? Impossible—this is the Demon Realm, after all."

"Sure, fights break out between demons all the time, but right now, the big focus is the clash with the Human Race."

"No way would demons kick off a full-scale war at this point."

"Cang Ya might have ventured far into the heart of the Cyan Stone Mountain Range."

"We should hold out for a bit longer—perhaps he'll show up soon; all we need to do is bide our time."

The red-horned Divinity Transformation Demon remarked with steady composure.

Should Cang Ya truly have perished, the Cyan Stone Demon Cave would get wind of it first.

After all, any demon surpassing Divinity Transformation links directly to the Demon Cave.

The moment death strikes, it would without doubt alert the entire Demon Cave.

Since the Cyan Stone Demon Cave showed no signs of disturbance, it proved Cang Ya was still alive.

Plus, for a Divinity Transformation Demon to step away briefly like this was pretty standard—nothing to get worked up about.

"You're right; if he had died for real, the Demon Cave would've been onto it immediately."

A bunch of Divinity Transformation Demons bobbed their heads, showing their accord.

They agreed it wasn't worth raising alarms just yet.

On top of that, wiping out all those human hideouts scattered across the Cyan Stone Mountain Range called for gearing up for an extended fight.

...

Whoosh!

Right then, a shadowy form materialized without a sound close by.

It was Jiang Fan who had just arrived.

Guided by Destiny's subtle nudge, he got there ahead of schedule.

And he had been lying in wait specifically for these Divinity Transformation Demons to appear.

Thanks to the Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf's might, his presence stayed completely hidden, leaving the pack of Divinity Transformation Demons oblivious to him—like he was a ghost.

"Nine Divinity Transformation Demons, is it? So they've finally made it to the Cyan Stone Mountain Range."

"Once they make their move, I'm scared not a single human outpost will make it out alive."

Jiang Fan narrowed his gaze, observing the cluster of Divinity Transformation Demons with cool detachment.

"Master, additional demons have shown up."

"Do we go for the kill this round, or seal them away?"

The Demon-Vibrating Bell chimed in, its voice laced with intense killing urge.

Still, it was aware that slaying demons in this place could stir up massive backlash.

"Skip the sealing this go-around—take them out straight away."

Jiang Fan replied in a even tone.

Before, he'd opted to seal the Divinity Transformation Demons to dodge any demon pursuit triggered by their deaths.

Things had shifted now, though; offing these Divinity Transformation Demons would smooth the path for the upcoming scheme.

"That's fantastic news."

The Demon-Vibrating Bell buzzed with thrill, even if it couldn't grasp the reason behind its master's shift in strategy this time—its master's calls were invariably spot-on, always optimizing gains while steering clear of risks.

It was itching to strike.

Boom~~

In a flash, Jiang Fan pulled forth the Demon-Vibrating Bell, channeling his immense Primordial Magical Power into its core.

Without question, reaching the Second-Layer of Divinity Transformation let him draw out greater might from the Demon-Vibrating Bell.

The bell emerged from within Jiang Fan, hovering soundlessly in mid-air.

Ancient and sturdy, the bell bore engravings that whispered of countless ages in their quiet depth.

All at once, enigmatic golden runes surfaced gradually from the bell's inner layers, flowing across its form like living entities, every symbol pulsing with cosmic secrets, weaving into a deep Dao Scripture that radiated a holy vibe capable of shaking the soul.

The instant after, driven by Jiang Fan's command, the Demon-Vibrating Bell quivered faintly at first—a low rumble—before the shakes intensified, as though a primordial force stirred from endless slumber.

As the quakes built up, a fearsome wave of Sound Wave Power burst forth from the bell, no shrill blast but one infused with regal authority and unyielding force that hammered right into the spirit.

"What's going on? Why am I hit with this chill of fear out of nowhere?"

"Curses, we've got foes—someone's setting up an ambush on us!"

"Ridiculous, we're in the Demon Realm—who'd have the guts?"

"It's a human cultivator; that's the vibe from a human's spirit treasure."

"Blast it, has a human cultivator sneaked into the Demon Realm to strike at us?"

The faces of numerous Divinity Transformation Demons twisted in shock.

They'd been scheming on locating the human outposts moments ago, yet now every one of them tensed up, bodies shaking, gripped by an overwhelming threat to their lives.

Just then, their eyes caught sight of a massive ancient bell suspended overhead, exuding a divine and timeless presence, brimming with terrifying Demon-Vanquishing Power.

This colossal bell appeared to harbor arcane forces bent on demon destruction, holding a special edge against their kind.

Resistance flickered in their minds, but the chance had already slipped away.
