Chapter 798: I Need to Go Inside

It fell.

That Demon Star plummeted to the earth, causing quite the stir and an explosion of fire.

Powerful forces radiated outward, alarming nearby onlookers.

Sand and dust swirled, flames blazed, and the sky darkened like a harbinger of doom was upon us.

But curiously, instead of flattening the land, which typically happens when a celestial body falls, the Ningzhou Peak retained its shape, with rivers and life still flowing, the water sources undisturbed, nourishing the cities around it.

For now, the streams ran normally; after all, water pollution takes time to spread.

As the Demon Star fell, it exuded a massive amount of thick, unknown gas, and the concentration of Demon Qi was outrageous, making the Demon Abyss Valley come off as a mere rookie.

Lin Nuo didn’t rush in immediately; he knew he had to let the water undergo a bit of demonization first. More importantly, the rich gas that wafted from the newly fallen star could cause severe harm to the body. A wait was necessary until the gas thinned out.

In his previous life, he hadn’t been able to enter right away either; he had waited until the gas had dissipated significantly. As long as things weren’t thick enough, he’d be fine.

No need to rush; otherwise, he might be the one who becomes a casualty before even getting there.

Now that the Demon Star had landed, a faint dark purple spiritual aura emanated from the peak, illuminating the surroundings.

Perhaps during the day it wasn’t strong enough, but at night, it would definitely act like a guiding beacon.

Strangely enough, there was an unknown low voice calling out to the people nearby.

Meanwhile, Liang Zhao and his crew could hardly contain their excitement, rushing toward Ningzhou Peak. It was a celestial opportunity that could elevate them to become future rulers of the world.

“Wait a minute, that gas— it’s not safe to go in yet.”

Liang Zhao quickly ordered everyone not to enter. However, some had already lost their resolve and were moving inside uncontrollably, impossible to stop.

With the roaring flames and thick smoke obscuring everything ahead, they dove in headfirst, undeterred by danger.

And then? Who knows? They probably met their end.

This made Lin Nuo chuckle; they were in such a hurry, were they just dying to take a sip of that Demon Spring water? Truly pure and sanitary.

He could afford to wait; after all, it’d be earlier than in his last life.

Hiding away, Lin Nuo noticed that the Qin family was still trying to keep an eye on him. At first, they managed to do so, but after the Demon Star fell, he vanished without a trace, no one knowing where he went.

There was no way anyone could track his movements now!

The fall of the Demon Star had stirred up quite a commotion, with many people taking to the skies on their swords to observe the situation.

Lin Nuo looked up; it was quite the spectacle. Master Zhao and that old man Zhang Yuanxu had shown up, along with Liu Shuqin.

But what of it? Did they plan to blow up the Demon Star?

Do they even have the ability for that? Asu might not even pull it off!

Lin Nuo continued to watch, waiting for the right moment to slip in.

At this moment, the anxious Master Zhao and the others were observing from above.

“Indeed, Shuqin was right; it really did fall here. If we hadn’t evacuated the citizens in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

Master Zhao expressed his worry.

“We don’t know what kind of energy this Demon Star is hiding. Right now, with the flames and smoke so heavy, we can’t see what’s happening inside. Plus, that unknown gas is spreading, making it unsafe to enter carelessly.”

“Look, more Demon Disciples are approaching, likely drawn by the call of the Demon Star, eager to seize its opportunity.”

Zhang Yuanxu remarked, noting that more and more Demon Disciples were flocking to Ningzhou Peak, mostly from the Refining Demon Sect.

As the number of Demon Disciples increased, things were getting out of hand. It looked like the Demon Path might just flourish in the future.

They were outnumbered, and engaging the Demon Disciples now would be impulsive. Besides, who knew what kind of chaos could unravel from a skirmish near the Demon Star?

“Senior brothers, I suggest we continue to protect the citizens and help them evacuate. With so many Demon Disciples around, they might target them.”

“Indeed. Let’s prioritize the safety of the citizens.”

With that, the three were about to descend on their swords when suddenly, a blast of dark magic shot up from the top of Ningzhou Peak, surging toward them.

“Watch out!”

Master Zhao quickly summoned a protective barrier, and Zhang Yuanxu joined in, both aiming to shield Liu Shuqin.

Boom!

They managed to defend against it, but that force pushed them back a bit.

The power of the Demon Star was beyond their expectations.

“Let’s move down.”

They swiftly landed on the ground, focusing on getting the remaining citizens to safety, after all, they were in no position to launch a counterattack.

Liu Shuqin grew increasingly restless; she could leave, ignoring all of this. But she felt an urgent need to enter Ningzhou Peak.

Perhaps it was her last hope.

As time went on, not only did the Demon Star attract various Demon Disciples, but righteous individuals from all walks of life were arriving as well.

Han Fairy was there, along with Master Cong and Qin Shili.

They too found themselves at a loss concerning the Demon Star, hesitant to approach, while observing from above; the sporadic bursts of magic from the star could easily catch someone off guard.

Lin Nuo peeked out and was somewhat surprised.

So many people had come; it was quite lively, wasn’t it?

It seemed to be just as lively as it was back in his previous life.

Since it was this lively, he could slip in unnoticed amidst the chaos; who would keep track of him while they fought?

As the gas inside Ningzhou Peak began to diffuse, the pungent flames quickly weakened, opening the door to entry, no longer resisting outsiders.

Many people mixed in with the Demon Disciples, driven by their desire for the Demon Star’s fortune, wanting to be a part of ruling the world.

Lin Nuo patrolled quickly; as more people arrived, disputes would arise, leading to fierce battles, explosions, and dazzling flashes of spiritual light—enough to scare anyone.

Fight, keep fighting, the more the merrier!

You all fight your hearts out, and I’ll just slip right in!

While sneaking around, he stumbled upon something remarkable.

Ling Meng was here.

And Su Kexin was here too!

It made sense for Ling Meng to come; after all, everyone wanted a taste of the Magic Spring, aiming to get stronger.

But Su Kexin…

Hey, I remember you weren’t involved in this in my last life! Why did you show up?

And you’re even fighting against the Refining Demon Sect?

Wow, you’re trying to go full-on berserk, aren’t you? Planning to eliminate all the villains in one go?

Now, Lin Nuo had to deal with Su Kexin first.

He needed to take her away and then slip inside.

As long as Su Kexin wasn’t present, everything would be fine; after all, only the true protagonists could contend with the big bads. The rest could just show their faces without any impact.

Meanwhile, over with Liu Shuqin.

“I need to go in. Can you assist me?”

Liu Shuqin asked the Demon Spirit.

“I can help you,” the Demon Spirit responded. Regardless, this was good news.

But the presence of the Demon Star made Zhang Yuanxu start to sense the aura of the Demon Spirit…
