Although he hadn’t found anything, the very fact that he found nothing made him feel something was off.
After a long while, he finally noticed something.
It seemed… too quiet.
The quietness wasn’t about the environment — it was about the aura in the air.
He could still hear the villagers talking and making noise, but the demonic and ghostly energies in the air had completely vanished.
If it were only around his residence, that would be understandable — but with his full cultivation power unleashed, he could sense any lingering sinister aura within dozens of miles.
Over such a vast area, it was impossible for there to be no trace of sinister aura at all.
Something was wrong — very wrong!
It was as if all the evil spirits within dozens of miles had vanished — and they’d disappeared hours ago.
You see, when an evil spirit passes through, the aura it carries will involuntarily linger in the air, and that residue takes at least an hour to dissipate. So what on earth had happened?
Ninth Uncle furrowed his brow tightly, a strong sense of foreboding filling his heart.
He had to investigate the cause, or this heaviness in his chest would never go away.
He hadn’t taken two steps before his expression suddenly changed and he looked up at the sky.
“Demonic aura! Such dense demonic aura!”
“What level of demon king has appeared?!”
Ninth Uncle’s expression shifted dramatically — shock and utter horror filled his heart.
It wasn’t that the sinister auras had all disappeared — it was that a great demon had descended upon the world. All the evil spirits had gone into hiding and stopped moving about, so naturally no aura residue remained.
Or perhaps… they had already been devoured by the demon?
He furrowed his brow, full of doubt.
Why would a great demon suddenly descend?
Why had there been no sign of it before?
And that vague sense of warning — if not for the appearance of this great demon’s aura, he might never have noticed something was wrong.
Most importantly — why wasn’t this in the memory copy the group leader posted?
He hadn’t done anything major to change the future, so why would a great demon descend? And with such dense demonic aura!
A great demon like this shouldn’t appear in this era!
Could it be a great demon from ancient times?
Before Ninth Uncle could finish his thoughts, a sharp pain suddenly shot from the spirit-sight between his brows. His face went pale instantly, and blood spewed from his mouth.
“Backlash!”
The other party had noticed his spying — and their strength far exceeded his, or they couldn’t have caused such an easy backlash.
You see, his current strength was not insignificant.
He wasn’t lacking in points either. The Maoshan Sect’s ancestors included plenty of immortals and deities, and the techniques they passed down pointed directly toward immortality.
Those techniques cost a pretty penny in the chat group.
Relying on those points, he’d purchased spiritual energy from his world’s ancient era for his own cultivation, along with many pills to improve aptitude — to raise the potential of Wencai and Qiusheng.
To him, what suited him was best.
Many items from other worlds were precious, but the supreme Dao was right before him — why chase after trifles?
Currently, it was only because of limited time that his strength hadn’t improved much.
Even so, he was far stronger than before.
But now…
This great demon’s strength far surpassed his. He probably couldn’t destroy it alone — so seeking help from group members was the best option.
Meanwhile, in the chat group:
Just Ordinary Group Leader: “Where’s Ninth Uncle? He just mentioned a vague sense of crisis, some terrifying existence threatening the whole world — and now he’s gone silent?”
Just Ordinary Group Leader: “Don’t tell me—”
Just Ordinary Group Leader: “No, that can’t be right. As group leader, I should receive a notification if he died.”
Lighthouse Tycoon: “…”
Lighthouse Tycoon: If Lin Fengjiao heard you say that, wonder if he’d hit you.
Eh, probably he’d only think about it — wouldn’t dare actually do it.
Although Su Yunqing claimed she had no authority beyond a discount, who really knew?
What if she’d kept a few tricks hidden?
In any case, no group member dared gamble on that.
That was also why Marquis Voban and the Holy Lord were willing to give Su Yunqing some face.
Lin Fengjiao: “A great demon has descended in my world.”
Lin Fengjiao: “Its strength far surpasses mine.”
Ninth Uncle had just entered the chat group and hadn’t had time to read the messages before he hurriedly spoke.
Just Ordinary Group Leader: “No way? You’re Ninth Uncle! What kind of great demon could far surpass you?”
Just Ordinary Group Leader: “Isn’t your world approaching the End of Dharma era? Even if there are demons stronger than you, they can’t be that much stronger, right?”
Su Yunqing felt there shouldn’t be any demon in the Zombie World that would make Ninth Uncle this afraid.
This wasn’t Liaozhai, and certainly not Journey to the West.
Ninth Uncle’s strength was already quite high in the Zombie World.
From what she remembered, there shouldn’t be any demon that would make Ninth Uncle say “far surpasses me.”
Himouto Umaru: “Is he being modest?”
If he was exaggerating the opponent’s strength out of modesty, that would be understandable.
Lin Fengjiao: “It’s a true great demon!”
Lin Fengjiao: “I merely peeked at the gathering demonic aura and suffered a backlash.”
Lin Fengjiao: “And its aura is still growing stronger.”
Railgun: “But this plot wasn’t in the memory copy…”
Railgun: “Could it be the butterfly effect?”
Ninth Uncle changed the future, which caused the great demon to descend?
Just Ordinary Group Leader: “Probably, but I doubt it’s anything powerful.”
Just Ordinary Group Leader: “Even if it’s a great demon from ancient times, its strength would definitely be heavily suppressed in the current era.”
Just Ordinary Group Leader: “If it comes down to it, should I go? I’m also curious whether the holy power of my angel form has any suppressing effect on demons and evil spirits.”
Although Su Yunqing’s impression of the Zombie World wasn’t clear, one thing was deeply imprinted: it wasn’t strong.
Compared to the other worlds in the chat group, it wasn’t particularly dangerous.
Even at her current strength, she’d count as a powerhouse there.
Lin Fengjiao: “Um… if possible, I think it’s best to be cautious.”
He didn’t know how much stronger the group leader was compared to him, but compared to the other powerhouses in the chat group, there was definitely a big gap.
If possible, he’d prefer the truly strong ones to come.
Like Bai Xuan, Angel Yan, Marquis Voban, Sect Leader Luo Hao, Uchiha Madara…
Northern God’s Glory: “Pfft.”
Northern God’s Glory: “Shiba Inu laughing.jpg”
Northern God’s Glory: “You got rejected.”
Lighthouse Tycoon: “She didn’t say it outright, but I’m sure everyone can tell.”
Lighthouse Tycoon: “Hahahaha, can’t believe the group leader got rejected.”
Lighthouse Tycoon: “Don’t blame Ninth Uncle — he just doesn’t want you to get hurt.”
Lighthouse Tycoon: “Hahahaha.”
Looking at the mocking Shiba Inu meme Thor posted and Tony Stark’s words, Su Yunqing was fuming!
She knew Ninth Uncle was just worried her strength wasn’t enough and that she might get hurt.
But still — so annoying!
It was the first time I wanted to take action, you know!
