Chapter 1398 – Brother Jiu Li

A Golden Giant Roc was in the sky, its outstretched wings blocking the sky and overshadowing half of Holy City.

With a long cry, it shook the buildings within the city and caused many of them to collapse.

Countless people ran about anxiously while looking fearfully at the black shadow that covered half the sky.

Wine Sage addressed the giant roc in the sky: “May I know why the Golden Wing Roc Demon Emperor has come to my human race?”

The golden giant roc flew to the top of Holy City before slowly retracting its wings, turning into a nine-foot-tall man.

Huan Qing Yan’s eyes flashed, isn’t that Brother Jiu Li?

Why did he appear here? Can it be that he was the Golden Wing Roc Demon Emperor?

After Huan Jiu Li took human form, he looked at the Half-Sages with animosity and cut to the chase; “This Demon Emperor is here for the sake of the future of the Spirit Treasure Continent and our two races. I would like to invite the Half-Sages of humanity to meet for a discussion.”

The Half-Sages exchanged glances and Wine Sage nodded in agreement.

Just as he was about to invite Huan Jiu Li to the Holy Court to talk in detail, he saw the latter landing in front of the Mourning Hall of the Ji Mo Clan.

Huan Jiu Li sized up Huan Qing Yan with eyes of gratification for a long time before finally nodding. His eyes were filled with happiness and satisfaction: “Little Yan, you have grown up. As expected of the Phoenix Emperor Bloodline. Your current strength is no weaker than mine now. If Lord Demon Emperor were to see you now, it would be very happy!”

Huan Qing Yan only returned a smile to Huan Jiu Li; but before she could reply and catch up…

Huan Jiu Li said: “Little Yan, I am here on an important matter that requires a discussion with the human Half-Sages. Since you are here, let us listen together.”

Seeing Huan Jiu Li’s expression and the words being said, it must be a big matter. Huan Qing Yan nodded.

The Half-Sages also arrived shortly after.

The area in front of Ji Mo Ya’s Mourning Hall was quickly emptied. The boisterous atmosphere from earlier on was immediately replaced with solemn silence.

Everyone did not bother about formalities and sat in a circle at the guest holding area outside the hall.

Wine Sage could not help but speak first: “Golden Wing Roc Emperor, you mentioned a great matter that concerns the future of Spirit Treasure Continent and our two races, may I know what is it? This old man wishes to know the details.”

Huan Jiu Li did not beat around the bush: “As all the Half-Sages present knows, the Ascension Passage suddenly closed several ages ago. Shortly after, the Sages delivered a warning to all of us, telling us to suppress our cultivation and to not ascend. It is related to that.”

The expressions of the Half-Sages changed. Plant Sage looked at Huan Jiu Li vigilantly: “Golden Wing Roc Emperor, where did you learn of this news?”

This was a secret that was only known between the Half-Sages and they have kept it hidden all this time.

“It was because the Half-Emperors of my Demon Race have also received the same warning from our esteemed Emperors. On top of that, this Emperor had also received a decree and secret treasure from the Lord Phoenix Emperor.”

“What decree and secret treasure?” Crazy Sage asked with widened eyes.

“Lord Phoenix Emperor passed down a set of secret arts that will allow this Emperor to secretly open the passage towards the Upper Realm of Ascension. This Emperor has fortunately fulfilled the task and it is now completed. That is why I am here to share this news to the Human Race!”

“What?”

Voices of shock appeared one after another.

The passage that has been closed for hundreds of years has been opened?

This was earth-shattering news

However, why was the Demon Race so kind to share this matter with the Human Race?

Sage Cai was the most suspicious and immediately started questioning what they were being told.

The expressions of Huan Qingyan and Bai Chen Feng immediately hardened

It was only after Wine Sage laughed it off that the atmosphere calmed down.
