As the sun began to rise up in the sky, the sect disciples and servants of the Devil's Cave sect began to come out to do their respective work.
However, among them, there was a person who walked towards the sect gate while looking at everyone with pity in his eyes.
And this person was none other than Yu Jing. He muttered softly as he passed through the gate. 'Don't blame me. Blame your choice for joining this sect.'
Entering the town, he found a wooden bench by a tea stall. Sitting on it, he began to initiate his plan.
[ Ding ]
[ 1 Global Mic has been used ]
[ Please type your message ]
Yu Jing rubbed his chin and gathered up his thoughts on what he should write. After a minute or so, he finally found what he should be writing.
In his mind, he began to write while sipping a cup of tea. When he was done, he silently said in his mind. 'Send.'
PRRRUUUUU!
All of a sudden, a loud sound made by a ancient horn reverberated throughout the world. The world halted as if time had stopped. Everyone looked up into the sky with astonishment in their faces. Mortals froze in fear, thinking if the gods from the heavens were about to punish them. The cultivators' hearts were in chaos while the leaders of every group had solemnity written on their faces. Even many ancestors opened their eyes from the graves. Many sleeping giants in secret realms and sect ruins also heard the sound of the horn.
In short, the Global Mic did its job without any failure.
Everyone held their breath to see what this horn sound was about.
An emotionless male voice began to sound throughout the entire world.
"The beings from the mortal world! I am Heavenly Venerate from Nine Heavens Mansion. Today, I am here to announce that a devil has infiltrated this world. They have given an Emperor-Grade technique to an individual. The devil's agents are in a sect called Devil's Cave. The goal of everyone here is to destroy the devil's agents. If you can destroy them, then ten thousand years later we will give fifty people the chance to go to the immortal world; if you don't, then wait and meet your doom!"
After the voice ended, the world remained silent. Everything they heard shattered their views of the world.
"Heavenly Venerate? Who is that? Does anyone know which region he is from?"
"Which region? Didn't you hear it clearly? This is a big shot! He is someone from the immortal world!"
"So, the immortal world is real. This… I can't believe it."
"It has to be… It has to be… If it is not from an immortal world, then who can have such a presence?"
Meanwhile, the leaders of many top forces had their eyes turned red. They have already reached the ceiling of this world or are close to achieving it. So for them, the news of the immortal world was the hope to rise once again. However, there was another thing that caught their attention.
"Emperor-Grade technique? Why did the devils give it away? Do they really think an Emperor can be born in this world?"
"If an Emperor is born, then it is going to be great turmoil. Is the Golden Age about to arrive as the great sages prophesied?"
"However, this is also our chance. The immortal didn't mention taking the Emperor-Grade technique away. We can have the technique and the chance to go to the immortal world."
The allure of ascending to the immortal world and having an Emperor-Grade technique made everyone not question this immortal's authenticity. On top of that, the fanfare the message was sent made everyone believe it easily.
But there was someone that Yu Jing knew who was having a panic attack.
The Mist Valley sect master, who was still waiting inside the Mist Valley sect ruin, also heard this.
"Heavenly Venerate? Nine Heavens Mansion? Who and what? Why have I never heard of any of this? The Lord has given me every piece of information that I have to know about the immortal world. So if I don't know who this person is and what faction they are from, then that means they are something that even the Lord is afraid to mention. Crap! I have to cut off my connection with this corpse. And that disciple of mine… he will die unfortunately. Losing such a great pawn aches my heart, but it is what it is."
Yu Jing didn't know the announcement he made to the world was true. He had his suspicion of this new master of his being a devil but was not confident.
Meanwhile, Yu Jing calmly sipped his tea, sitting beside the stall.
'If any greedy bigshot takes the bait, the event will be done very soon.' Yu Jing thought with glee, watching the noisy street that was full of discussions about the immortal that appeared before them.
While Yu Jing was in euphoria thinking about the rewards he would be getting from the event. The Devil's Cave sect was in chaos.
In the sect hall, all the elders and sect master were present, as well as Lily, who was standing in the center. No one made any kind of noise as they were waiting for the Devil's Cave sect master to speak.
After a moment of silence, the Devil's Cave sect master asked with a grim face. "Lily, what happened inside the sect ruin? Tell me everything!"
Lily quickly burst into tears as she spoke with fear in her voice. "Father, I am sorry! It isn't my fault. I wanted to tell you everything, but because of that guy, I wasn't able to."
