The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Long journey.

The group finally arrived inside the institution.

The institution's doors swung open, and a welcoming line was already neatly arranged.

Upon seeing Jiang Chuan and his group, thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the crowd.

Jiang Chuan walked in front, followed closely by Qingyun and Shen Jing, while the Bull Demon King followed at the very back, looking rather clumsy.

Despite his rugged appearance, the Bull Demon King had incredibly clear eyes.

"Jiang Chuan, it's been a long time!"

Wu Zhen, leading the way, immediately jogged forward.

She grabbed Jiang Chuan and hugged him tightly.

"Haven't seen you for so long, have you improved your strength?"

In Wu Zhen's eyes, Jiang Chuan's strength has always been a mystery. After all, he is not as strong as Jiang Chuan, so he naturally cannot see through him.

Jiang Chuan felt a warmth in his heart, and then smiled and said, "Of course you've improved, but you're not bad either, you've already reached the late stage of the Yellow Rank."

"Yes, recently the organization has developed a new cultivation method."

"Our strength has improved by leaps and bounds."

When Wu Zhen mentioned this matter, he started to dance with joy, because in his eyes, the thing that made him happiest was improving his strength.

It has now been upgraded to the late Yellow Rank, which is a huge improvement.

Compared to Jiang Chuan, my shortcomings can only be described as a further improvement.

What he didn't know was that Jiang Chuan's strength was something he probably couldn't catch up to even after many years of cultivation.

But Jiang Chuan still smiled slightly.

"Where are the others? Where are they?"

Wu Zhen suddenly scratched the back of his head. "Recently, the demonic aura on Mount Hua has been unusually strong, and it seems to be increasing rapidly."

"The passage to the demon realm was closed a few days ago, but for some reason, it has started to stir again since yesterday."

“Zhong Huahua, Song Xi, and Li Yi have all gone to Mount Hua to carry out suppression work.”

"However, the strength of all of them has reached the mid-stage of the Yellow Rank."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan frowned.

Is there something strange about it?

My purpose in going to the Frozen Valley was to suppress the passage to the demon realm.

Now the Undead Knight is dead, and so is the Phoenix.

Why is there still a restless aura in the passage to the demon realm?
Is it possible...

Is the demon realm about to launch an attack and challenge humanity?

This is not impossible!
Jiang Chuan's brows furrowed instantly.

But Wu Zhen glanced at Shen Jing and the Bull Demon King behind him.

He naturally recognized Qingyun, but why was there an extra blue ox behind him?
He looks like someone you shouldn't mess with.

And Shen Jing too!

Wasn't his master Li Chunfeng?
You were in the Diviner Alliance, how come you're hanging out with Jiang Chuan now?

After a brief moment of thought, Jiang Chuan saw Wu Zhen's bewildered expression and quickly said, "From now on, Shen Jing is leaving the Diviner Alliance and joining my organization."

Clearly, the organization has not yet received any information from the Diviners Alliance.

However, Jiang Chuan was also well aware that, given Li Chunfeng's style, he would not take the initiative to contact the organization.

The collaboration between the organization and the fortune teller alliance can probably be put on the agenda now.

That dream...

It seems to be getting closer.

Upon hearing this news, Wu Zhen's eyes suddenly widened!

What does Jiang Chuan mean by that? Does he mean that you've managed to wipe out the entire Diviner Alliance on this trip?

Shen Jing reached out his hand towards Wu Zhen.

"Long time no see, from now on we're friends."

However, Wu Zhen was carefree and didn't hold anything against his will, so he directly extended his hand to shake hands with Shen Jing.

"Hey hey, welcome to the organization! You'll find out later that it's a warm and harmonious family!"

"Hahaha!"

Several people smiled in unison.

"This is the Bull Demon King."

Jiang Chuan turned his gaze to the blue ox behind him.

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhen immediately became excited. "Wow, Jiang Chuan, I didn't expect you to gain a mount after going out."

"It's just that the name is a bit too grand, calling him the Bull Demon King."

"But you know what, this blue ox really does look different from other oxen, huh?"

Wu Zhen stepped forward and patted the Bull Demon King's head.

The Bull Demon King was speechless, but he couldn't say anything at the moment...

After all, to put it bluntly, he's just Jiang Chuan's little pet now.

Sigh, my master's friend...

Not angry, not angry...

In the past, Wu Zhen would probably have died in front of him a thousand times over.

Jiang Chuan and Shen Jing both smiled.

I never thought that the Bull Demon King, who was at the mid-stage of the Earth Rank, would have such a day.

"Not bad, Bull Demon King, transform and show him."

Jiang Chuan smiled and teased.

The Bull Demon King seemed to have anticipated this, and he glanced at Jiang Chuan with a wise glint in his eyes.

In an instant, the originally docile green ox suddenly swelled up to three times its original size, then four times its original size, until a powerful aura enveloped everyone. A true image of the Bull Demon King stood before them, and that aura was awe-inspiring!
Wu Zhen's face turned deathly pale with fright!

Holy crap, Jiang Chuan wasn't lying!

This really looks like... the Bull Demon King!
The Bull Demon King's aura is just too strong...

Everyone present at the facility was shocked by what they saw. If Jiang Chuan hadn't been there to oversee things, they probably would have already fled.

Such strength was unheard of to them.

After simple greetings.

"By the way, what problems have arisen at Mount Hua? Tell me in detail."

Jiang Chuan sensed something was amiss. He had clearly sealed off the passage to the demon realm, so why was there still demonic energy emanating from inside?
"This one……"

Before he could finish speaking, an alarm suddenly sounded from the sensor on Wu Zhen's waist.

At the same time, Wu Zhen frowned, and things were gradually becoming complicated.

Jiang Chuan noticed Wu Zhen's unease and hurriedly asked.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Something unusual may have happened at Mount Hua."

"There is a high possibility that new monsters will appear. This alarm on my waist will only go off in case of an emergency."

After Wu Zhen finished speaking, he took out the sensor, which had a short sentence on it.

"Send people to the rescue immediately, Zhong Huahua."

Upon seeing this message, Jiang Chuan immediately said in a deep voice, "Now follow my command. You stay and oversee the organization, leaving the elite forces to protect its safety. I'm going to Mount Hua!"

Wu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. With Jiang Chuan around, everything seemed to be starting to fall into place.

"Okay! I listen to you."

Jiang Chuan still wields considerable influence within the organization.

Jiang Chuan and the others immediately set off for Mount Hua. "Wasn't the passage to the demon realm blocked by us? Yet there are still strange demonic movements now, which is truly unusual."

During the journey, Shen Jing voiced his doubts.

Jiang Chuan nodded. "I also feel something is amiss. Perhaps it's because Mount Hua is a place where spiritual energy gathers?"

Strange phenomena frequently occurred on Mount Hua, with winds and clouds rising and clouds swirling.

Perhaps, a catastrophe is brewing...

With their Xuan-level strength, their current speed is comparable to the speed of sound.

The group traversed numerous mountain ranges at an astonishing speed, finally landing atop the majestic Mount Hua.

The mountains were shrouded in mist, yet a sinister black aura lingered, as if an evil spirit lurked within, sending chills down one's spine.

"How can Mount Hua be so eerie?"

When the Bull Demon King first arrived at this place, he frowned and a hint of wariness appeared in his eyes.

Even the demon race feels this place is eerie?

Jiang Chuan's eyes were sharp as he scanned his surroundings.

In the distance, among the mountain peaks, demonic energy swirled, like black ribbons dancing in the air, while the low, mournful sounds of running students echoed from the valleys.

"It is indeed unusual."

Jiang Chuan pondered for a moment.

The most urgent task right now is to find the people in the organization.

As Jiang Chuan and his group ventured deeper into the region, the scenery along the way became increasingly shocking.

The vegetation withered, the rocks cracked, and a suffocating atmosphere permeated the air.

Suddenly, a rapid mental fluctuation came from ahead, prompting Jiang Chuan and his group to quicken their pace.

Upon arriving at a relatively open platform, the figures of Zhong Huahua and others came into view.

With her eyes closed and hands clasped together, surrounded by a pale blue light, she was doing her best to construct semi-transparent mental barriers around Mount Hua, attempting to seal the rampant demonic energy within them.

Sweat streamed down her delicate face, making her look extremely tired.

"Zhong Huahua, can you hold on?"

"We're here to help you!"

Li Yi, Tang Songming, Ai Zhe, and others poured their spiritual power into Zhong Huahua, but it was still extremely difficult for them.

It would be too much of a stretch for a few people to build a barrier that could cover the entire Mount Hua.

Jiang Chuan's appearance gave the group a jolt.

he came!

"Jiang Chuan, you've come..."

Zhong Huahua's voice was weak and trembling.

"Hang in there, Zhong Huahua."

Jiang Chuan quickly stepped forward, gently placed a hand on her shoulder, and slowly transferred his spiritual energy to her, trying to share the burden with her.

"Everyone else, follow me and pour your spiritual energy into the barrier to reinforce its protection!"

Qingyun, Shen Jing, and the Bull Demon King responded one after another, each displaying their abilities and pouring their profound spiritual power into Zhong Huahua's barrier.

The Bull Demon King transformed into his original form, his massive blue bull body standing at the outer edge of the barrier, its horns gleaming like two sharp swords, providing a solid defense for everyone.

As time went by, the barrier gradually stabilized, and the erosion of the demonic energy seemed to be temporarily contained.

"call……"

"It's finally under control for now. This surge of demonic energy seems to be stronger than ever before..."

Zhong Huahua's rising and falling breaths indicated her current state.

Looking at the barrier in front of him, Jiang Chuan estimated in his mind that he could hold out for about an hour.

One hour.

You have plenty of time to come down the mountain.

"You all return to the organization now. Leave this to me."

Jiang Chuan responded forcefully to the crowd, but their eyes remained unusually firm.

"Can you handle it yourself? According to intelligence, the demonic energy this time is exceptionally terrifying!"

Jiang Chuan responded with a smile.

"Don't you believe me?"

Everyone wanted to object, but considering Jiang Chuan's strength, they couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"Brother Jiang, it's been a long time. I hope you've been well."

Tang Songming still maintained his air of a literary giant. Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "How have you been lately? Very well!"

"In that case, we will not linger here any longer and should return to our organization as soon as possible."

"So good."

Everyone laughed, and Jiang Chuan started using classical Chinese phrases as well.

interesting.

After glancing at the somewhat terrifying-looking Bull Demon King, the group didn't dwell on it. Their priority was to deal with the demonic aura surrounding Mount Hua first.

Without delay, the group immediately set off back to the organization.

After such a long period of time, the satellite eyes above the organization have long covered the entire Huashan Mountain, allowing for real-time monitoring of the mountain's dynamics via display screens.

"Jiang Chuan, you must be careful."

Before leaving, Zhong Huahua gave Jiang Chuan some instructions. It's unclear when it started, but Zhong Huahua has started to miss Jiang Chuan a little.
She didn't know exactly what kind of feeling it was.

But in her heart, Jiang Chuan was invincible.

Jiang Chuan nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be right back."

After Zhong Huahua and the others left, Jiang Chuan frowned slightly. Just as Zhong Huahua had said, the leakage of demonic energy from Mount Hua this time was much stronger than before.

The overwhelming demonic energy seemed to be temporarily sealed, but it appeared ready to break through the barrier at any moment.

Jiang Chuan and the others gathered in a circle, their faces solemn, their eyes flashing with deep thought.

At the summit of Mount Hua, the biting wind could not conceal the burning passion and unease in their hearts.

"The commotion in the demon realm is indeed unusually frequent,"

Shen Jing spoke first, his voice low, "But I think this is not just a matter of being restless. If the demon race were to launch a large-scale invasion, they would definitely choose the moment when humanity is at its weakest. Now that our defenses are so tight, they shouldn't act easily."

Qingyun nodded in agreement: "That's right, perhaps there is some special reason that has led to the instability of the demon realm."

The Bull Demon King, on the other hand, had a serious expression. Although he did not speak, his bull eyes seemed to have seen through everything. He would occasionally gaze into the depths of Mount Hua, where there seemed to be some unknown secrets hidden.

Just as the four were engaged in a heated discussion, the sky suddenly changed, with dark clouds pressing down overhead, as if the heavens were foreshadowing misfortune. A powerful, suffocating demonic aura, like a tsunami surging from the abyss, swept in with the force to destroy everything.

"not good!"

Jiang Chuan shouted, and the barrier that Zhong Huahua had barely managed to maintain shattered instantly under the impact of the demonic energy, which was as fragile as paper. The raging demonic energy surged into the sky like a wild horse, shrouding the entire summit of Mount Hua in gloom.

"This is……!"

Shocked, Shen Jing drew his longsword instantly, its silver light flashing, ready to deal with the possible crisis.

"Why has the power of the demon realm spiraled out of control?"

Qingyun was equally on high alert, his spiritual energy stirring within him, as if ready to unleash a world-destroying power at any moment.

The Bull Demon King let out a low roar, and his massive body transformed into a streak of azure light, rushing towards the place where the demonic energy was most concentrated. His pair of gleaming bull horns were like two divine weapons, trying to cleave through the chaos and uncover the truth.

"We must find out the cause as soon as possible, otherwise Mount Hua will become a living hell."

Jiang Chuan calmly gave the order, his eyes fixed on the center of the churning demonic energy, as if trying to see through the secrets behind this disaster.

"I'll go investigate!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Shen Jing shot off like an arrow towards the source of the demonic energy, with Qingyun close behind. The two of them were like two bolts of lightning slicing through the sky, their speed astonishing.

Jiang Chuan and the Bull Demon King stayed behind. They exchanged a glance and decided to join forces to strengthen the defenses and protect the area from further erosion by demonic energy.

"Old Niu, what did you sense?" (End of Chapter)
