1540 For the Sake of the World
“An ambush?” Chu Yunfan frowned. “It seems that it was premeditated and not a whim.”
“That’s right, it was premeditated,” Yun Tian said.
“But what was being suppressed here?” Chu Yunfan asked. “To be able to make the demons pay so much attention to it, it must be no ordinary demon.”
...
“Indeed. It’s been a long time and records have been lost.” Yun Tian shook his head. “The only thing we know is that this demon is extremely extraordinary. It came from beyond the heavens and isn’t a native demon. It came here and started a massacre. In the end, our founder suppressed it. All this time, our sect has been constantly strengthening this barrier to prevent anyone from breaking through.” He sighed. “But today, that monster still managed to escape. It’s a calamity!”
“Calamity? I don’t believe that. I only believe in myself,” Chu Yunfan said, “Since this place has been breached, what are you doing here? You were even ambushed by Hell Cat King.”
Yun Tian explained, “I wanted to wake the Monster Vanquisher. This is a magical sword that our ancestors spent a lot of effort to forge. It was this Monster Vanquisher that suppressed that demon. Now that the demon has escaped, the world will fall into a state of misery.
“Our ancestor said that if that demon escaped one day, he’d awaken the Monster Vanquisher and kill it. Now is the most critical moment,” Yun Tian said, “Now, not only has that monster escaped, but countless monsters have invaded the western border and are about to sweep the world. Do you know why?”
Chu Yunfan shook his head. “Does this matter have anything to do with that demon?”
“It has everything to do with that demon. That demon has been suppressed by our ancestor’s Monster Vanquisher for so many years, and there’s not much blood left in its body. In other words, even if it’s not dead, it’s at the brink of death,” Yun Tian said, “The demons did their best to save this demon, so they definitely won’t let it die. According to our intelligence, many demon kings are working together to set up a Blood and Spirit Revival Circle in the demon league. It’s an amazing array that can revive even a dying person.
“But there’s a problem with this array. The stronger the person you want to save, the more blood you’ll need. The people who were killed by the monsters will eventually provide energy for the circle,” Yun Tian said, “If we don’t stop them, I’m afraid all of Great Wei will be massacred. That’s why I came here to restore the Monster Vanquisher. Who knew that at the most critical moment, I’d be ambushed by Hell Cat King.”
“So that’s what happened. No wonder those demons allowed the monsters to massacre wantonly.” Chu Yunfan nodded.
If the demon league intended to attack Great Wei, the best way was to lead countless monsters to attack the capital of Great Wei as quickly as possible. In that case, Great Wei would be leaderless and unable to effectively organize armies. At that time, the fall of Great Wei would only be a matter of time.
Chu Yunfan didn’t doubt whether these beasts had such an ability because many of them were intelligent. This was basic strategic thinking. There was no reason for those monster kings to not understand this.
And now, those monsters had spread out to the entire western border to go on a killing spree. They did not concentrate their forces to break through Great Wei’s defenses and approach the Imperial Capital.
Chu Yunfan was a little puzzled at first. He didn’t expect such a reason behind it.
“We don’t have much time left. Most of the people on the western border have been killed. Other than those who’ve escaped, there are only a few thousand people that our sect has taken in. This means that even if that demon doesn’t fully recover, it’ll recover by half at least. When it fully recovers, the world will fall into the demon’s mouth.” Yun Tian stood up and bowed to Chu Yunfan. “I’ve already failed. I’m severely injured and won’t be able to fully recover in a short time. Even if I awaken the Monster Vanquisher, I’m afraid I won’t be able to turn the situation around.”
Chu Yunfan’s expression was solemn. He could see that Yun Tian had given up all his previous grudges and was truly concerned about the lives of the world.
“Since you’ve said so, I’m obliged to do so. But isn’t the Monster Vanquisher your sect’s treasure?” Chu Yunfan said, “If I want to awaken the sword and wield it like an arm, I need to refine it. If that happens, I’m afraid it won’t belong to your sect anymore.”
“Master Chu, please make your move as soon as possible. The Monster Vanquisher was forged to suppress that demon. That is its mission,” Yun Tian said, “Our sect has declined since the time of our founder. No one can control the Monster Vanquisher anymore. I was planning to sacrifice my life to the Monster Vanquisher to awaken its power, but Master Chu, you’re different. Your future is among the stars of the heavens, not this small pond. Therefore, the Monster Vanquisher in your hands is not a disgrace to the sword’s prestige, nor does it disappoint our founder. Even if my master was here, I believe he wouldn’t object.
“Please, for the sake of the world, please, Master Chu!” Yun Tian bowed deeply again.
“In that case, I won’t object anymore.” Chu Yunfan nodded. If things were as Yun Tian had said, things would have reached a point where they could not be salvaged. He really needed the Monster Vanquisher.
“That’s great. I’ll relay to you the method to awaken and refine the sword,” Yun Tian hurriedly said.
As he spoke, Yun Tian quickly sent the awakening and refining method of the Monster Vanquisher into Chu Yunfan’s mind. A complicated awakening ritual and sacrificial refining method appeared in Chu Yunfan’s mind. The godhead in his mind flickered slightly. In just a moment, he had already understood the various mysteries and was ready to start refining.
