Chapter 1250: 666: The Secret of the Great Array! The Demon Race’s Scheme!

"I will tell you everything I know about Demon Dawn!"Jiang Shu’s face showed no expression of surprise; he had long anticipated this answer.

He nodded slightly, signaling the other to continue, but his gaze remained as sharp as a knife, as if scrutinizing every word for truth or falsehood.

"Demon Dawn... is not from the Emperor Palace."

Xuan Chi gasped heavily, speaking quickly, afraid that if he slowed down, he would lose the opportunity.

"But those lords in the Emperor Palace, they all know about Demon Dawn’s existence. Not only did they not stop it, but they even secretly provided some support."

"Among our Demon Dawn, many prodigies, who in the past only reached the Transformation Realm, have now swiftly cultivated to the Demon Monarch Realm due to the Emperor Palace’s bestowed methods of comprehending the Great Dao."

"What is Demon Dawn’s purpose?"

Without hesitation, Jiang Shu continued to ask.

"For the Demon Race."

A hint of fanaticism flashed in Xuan Chi’s eyes, immediately overwhelmed by the fear of life and death.

Afraid that he might say something wrong and incite Jiang Shu’s wrath.

He hurriedly continued:

"In this great war, our Demon Race has lost too much territory."

"Especially strategic places like Panhai City have already been lost."

"We think the ancestors of the Demon Race are too conservative. Clearly, their strength is not weaker than the Human Clan, yet they invest all resources into the Ten Thousand Spirits Casting Venerable Array, even trying to upgrade this great array to possibly birth a Demon Lord or even stronger beings.

"Because of this, our Demon Race has missed too many opportunities and lost too much territory."

"We want to prove ourselves, to take back everything from your hands, bit by bit!"

"Though it seems the Human Clan has achieved great victory now, this is, after all, in the Demon Domain. Many cultivators among your clan are not accustomed to fighting in the Demon Domain. The combat effectiveness at the same realm is not as good as in the Vast Domain."

"While we cannot defeat Daoist Venerable and Daoist Monarch, extinguishing some newly risen cultivators in the Primordial Pill Realm and Nirvana Realm would be akin to eradicating the future of your Human Clan."

"More importantly, if we truly succeed, the Human Clan’s offensive will surely weaken. If given enough time to the Emperor Palace’s ancestors, perhaps, the great array will truly be completed."

Xuan Chi spoke extremely fast, not daring to hide anything.

He knew Jiang Shu was not like other Human Clan experts; Jiang Shu had once delved deep into the Demon Race and had battled many strong demon race members.

Maybe he knew even more secrets.

If he lied and it contradicted Jiang Shu’s knowledge, he would be exposed.

At that time, he would indeed have no place to be buried.

"Who are the participants?"

"Many, all clans have them."

"Young elites with good bloodline potential, like me, there are ten of us, scattered in various critical locations or lurking near the front line."

"We usually don’t contact each other, tasks are delivered through specific jade talismans."

Xuan Chi struggled to recall, revealing what he knew.

"The core of Demon Dawn is mainly in Starfall Abyss, which is an important secret training ground for us and also a crucial array hub in the northwest of the Ten Thousand Spirits Casting Venerable Array!"

"Its defense is tight, gathering the strongest seeds of Demon Dawn right now."

"Starfall Abyss... Array Hub..."

At the depths of Jiang Shu’s calm gaze, like a stone thrown into a deep pool, a cold ripple spread.

He knew where Starfall Abyss was, but the intelligence Hu Yi provided him didn’t include this location; however, Hu Yi’s information was based on speculation, so Xuan Chi’s intelligence seemed more reliable.

If we can take down Starfall Abyss, not only can we remove the backbone of the Demon Race’s future, sever its potential new blood, but also destroy a critical array hub, thoroughly disrupting the layout of the Ten Thousand Spirits Casting Venerable Array.

Especially, from Xuan Chi’s words, it can be seen.

The Ten Thousand Spirits Casting Venerable Array is merely the beginning.

The Demon Race set up this great array aiming to evolve it further to achieve a Demon Lord, even seeking the Immortal Road through a greater formation!

No wonder the Demon Lord of the Demon Race doesn’t care for the loss and gain of a place.

Compared to advancing the realm further.

Any territory can be abandoned.

Even the entire Demon Domain!

The value of this intelligence far exceeds the life and death of a Xuan Chi.

Looking at Xuan Chi’s humble face, Jiang Shu nodded.

"Very well, I see you’re being sensible."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Chi’s heart suddenly relaxed, as if a massive stone pressing him was partially lifted; hope for life seemed within reach.

Yet, just as this relaxation nearly made him collapse, an immeasurable and intangible force, vast as the starry sky and cold as the eternal abyss, invaded his Sea of Consciousness without warning!

The power flowed like water, more like moonlight, silently sweeping through every corner of memory.

Everything Xuan Chi had just described regarding Demon Dawn and Starfall Abyss was swiftly touched and stirred by this power, then reflected within Jiang Shu’s divine sense.

Soul Great Dao!

He’s performing a Soul Search!

For Jiang Shu, the reason he did not conduct a Soul Search earlier.

Was his consideration that behind Xuan Chi might be Xuan Ming.

If Xuan Ming had planted a method in Xuan Chi’s mind, then once he started the Soul Search, everything in Xuan Chi’s mind could be disrupted, even transmitting incorrect information.

But now having obtained the intelligence beforehand from Xuan Chi.

Conducting the Soul Search can verify against each other.

More proof of the intelligence’s veracity.

An endless pain surged in Xuan Chi’s brain.

Despite being now of Demon Monarch status, in Jiang Shu’s hands, he was like an ant.

In an instant, Xuan Chi understood, a penetrating coldness froze his thoughts.
