Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Destroying a sect was not so easy. Even if the Heavenly Demon Cult’s surprise attack succeeded and granted them an absolute advantage, the Seven Stars Sect’s profound foundation was not to be underestimated. With both the Big Dipper Formation and the Semi-Holy Artifact, the Seven Stars Sword, at their disposal, the sect wouldn’t collapse so quickly. Therefore, this massive battle would not end in just ten days or even half a month. As for the outcome, only the heavens knew.

News from the Seven Stars Sect spread quickly, and Su Han, who had just arrived in Qingmo City, learned everything from Pavilion Master Hu.

”What? Leng Rufeng and Qin Wushuang betrayed us, unsealed the Taiyin Demon Lord, and the Earth Fiend Demon Lord is leading the Heavenly Demon Cult’s experts in a surprise attack? The Seven Stars Sect is in imminent danger?”

Su Han was shocked; he hadn’t expected things to escalate so quickly. He had just learned that the second war was about to erupt, but the war had already begun before he had time to relay the message. The current situation was dire. With the Seven Stars Sect facing troubles from both within and without, resisting the Heavenly Demon Cult’s offensive was nearly as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Qin Wushuang!

Su Han’s heart sank. He couldn’t believe Qin Wushuang would betray the Seven Stars Sect and turn to the Heavenly Demon Cult. It also seemed his master had been seriously injured by him.

Old villain, I swear I’ll slay you with my own hands!

A chilling glint flashed in Su Han’s eyes, his killing intent toward Qin Wushuang intensifying. Anyone who harms my friends and family must die!

”The current situation is very bleak for the Seven Stars Sect,” Pavilion Master Hu, the well-informed branch leader of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, shared. ”Aside from the sect itself being under attack, the Heavenly Demon Cult’s army has already invaded Qingzhou and is unstoppable. Furthermore, some factions have already defected, allowing the army to march in unopposed.”

This attack was part of a long-term plan by the Heavenly Demon Cult, not a rash decision, which made the threat to the Seven Stars Sect even more significant. Currently, Mu Qingyun and the others were staunchly defending the sect, engaged in a life-and-death battle, with no time to attend to the other factions in Qingzhou. Meanwhile, local powers like Tian Yunshan had been subdued by the Toad Poison Venerable long ago and switched sides mid-battle, allowing the Heavenly Demon Cult’s army to charge toward the Seven Stars Sect unhindered.

”According to the latest news, the Great Qian King has also betrayed them and is helping the Heavenly Demon Cult’s army rush toward the Seven Stars Sect. This time, the Seven Stars Sect is probably doomed!” Pavilion Master Hu lamented. He felt a certain admiration for the Heavenly Demon Cult’s meticulous planning and methods.

However, he merely sighed. The Myriad Treasures Pavilion was neutral and never involved itself in such conflicts. With their substantial influence, neither the Seven Stars Sect nor the Heavenly Demon Cult would dare to provoke them, making them arguably the safest party.

Fairy Sister Yun Xian, Master!

Su Han was overwhelmed with anxiety, wishing he could fly back to the Seven Stars Sect immediately. Inside the sect were his only kin, Fairy Sister Yun Xian; his most respected master; and his close friends, Ning Feifan and Liu Rumei. All of them were now in grave danger, their lives hanging by a thread. How could he not be worried?

But he was not one to act recklessly. He knew that even if he were at the Seven Stars Sect right now, he couldn’t change the situation. Although he possessed the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art and had monstrous talent, he was still young and his cultivation Realm was too low. In a war of this scale, he couldn’t make any difference and might even become a target, likely to be killed first.

Stay calm! I must calm down! This is a heaven-shaking war, and my presence is insignificant to both sides. But even a small person can play a big role. If I handle this correctly, there might be a chance to defy fate and turn the tables.

Su Han forced himself to be calm, suppressing all his anxiety and fear. Gradually, his expression stabilized. Seeing Su Han regain his composure so quickly, Pavilion Master Hu revealed a hint of surprise in his eyes. It seemed this young man Miss Tongyan thought so highly of was indeed extraordinary.

”Pavilion Master Hu, in your opinion, how long do you think the Seven Stars Sect can hold out?” Su Han asked. His mindset had adjusted, and his gaze was sharp as he looked at Pavilion Master Hu.

”It’s hard to say. But if the Seven Stars Sect has no other hidden reserves, they won’t last more than half a month,” Pavilion Master Hu replied. His own strength wasn’t great, so his perspective was naturally limited. He gave a conservative estimate, but in reality, the time would likely be even shorter.

Half a month. Su Han committed this timeframe to memory. He knew full well that the actual time might be even shorter, which meant he was running out of time.

”Pavilion Master Hu, I would like to purchase a map of Mozhou!” Su Han said. His request seemed to surprise Pavilion Master Hu.

Why does he want a map of Mozhou? Is he planning to take advantage of the Heavenly Demon Cult’s undefended rear and snatch some profit?

However, business was business. Pavilion Master Hu was only slightly acquainted with Su Han, not a close friend, so he naturally wouldn’t meddle. Soon, he fetched a map—the most detailed map of Mozhou available there. The price was not cheap, but Su Han bought it outright without bargaining.

”I also need some materials for array formation!” Su Han said, taking out Tian Yunshan’s Storage Ring. It contained not only the Cloud Dragon Dao Spear but also many other valuable treasures.

Upon seeing Tian Yunshan’s Storage Ring, Pavilion Master Hu’s pupils shrank, and he gave Su Han a deep look. He had heard the news of Tian Yunshan’s death but hadn’t expected Su Han to be the one responsible. Truly, you can’t judge a book by its cover. Although the ring contained stolen goods, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion had the foundation to handle it. Without asking any questions, he quickly helped Su Han exchange the treasures for the array formation materials.

”Pavilion Master Hu, please let me know if there’s any new information,” Su Han said, making one final request as he put away the map and materials.

”Not a problem. Here is a Sound Transmission Stone. I will notify you immediately if there is any news!” Seeing Su Han’s boundless potential, Pavilion Master Hu didn’t mind doing him a favor. He took out a jade-colored gemstone and handed it to Su Han.

Having obtained what he wanted, Su Han no longer lingered. He cupped his fist in salute to Pavilion Master Hu and departed.

Could he be planning to launch a sneak attack on the Heavenly Demon Cult’s stronghold in Mozhou? Pondering Su Han’s requests, a fantastical idea surfaced in Pavilion Master Hu’s mind, but he quickly shook his head and dismissed it.

Su Han is only in the Phenomenon Realm. Wouldn’t attacking the Heavenly Demon Cult’s stronghold be a suicide mission? Perhaps he just wants to take this opportunity to profit from the chaos in Mozhou.

Pavilion Master Hu shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Meanwhile, after leaving Qingmo City, Su Han headed straight for Mozhou. He opened the map and saw that the Heavenly Demon Cult’s stronghold was located in the center of Mozhou, a great distance from his current location.

I can’t just use the Character Technique of Motion to travel, or I’ll never make it in half a month. I have to use the Thunder Light Treasure Ship.

Su Han’s eyes gleamed with determination; he already had a plan. Pavilion Master Hu had guessed correctly. He was going to launch a sneak attack on the Heavenly Demon Cult’s stronghold to force them to fall back and defend it.

This time, Su Han was going to defy the heavens and alter the outcome
