I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely

Chapter 362: Chapter 288: The Situation is Different

Word was quickly sent out from the Spirit Destruction Hall Master.

Upon receiving the message, the Celestial Demon Sect Elders subordinate to the Soul Destruction Hall were required to report to the hall immediately.

He hadn’t received the news about the mysterious Spirit Refiner from the Foundation Establishment Demons at Iron Tiger Manor. Instead, it was reported to him by one of the Soul Destruction Hall’s own Elders.

This made one thing very clear.

The Foundation Establishment Demons at Iron Tiger Manor must have been incapable of sending any messages.

They were probably all dead.

If they were still alive and able to send messages, he would have been the one to receive them. Messages from lesser forces, like those from Qi Refining Demons, couldn’t be sent to him directly.

Messages from Qi Refining Demons were handled by designated Elders and disciples.

The current Spirit Destruction Hall Master was well aware of how the mysterious Spirit Refiner had destroyed Vortex Cave.

Soon.

All the Celestial Demon Sect Elders who answered to the Soul Destruction Hall had gathered.

For the Spirit Destruction Hall Master to summon them at this time, it was almost certainly about a single matter.

Once everyone had assembled, an Elder spoke up before the Spirit Destruction Hall Master could even begin.

"Hall Master, the Celestial Cloud Sect has made a move against us, right?"

"Correct," the Spirit Destruction Hall Master nodded.

"I knew it. Those Spirit Refiners from the Celestial Cloud Sect were bound to make a move. They must have found out we’re reinforcing the Dragon Demon Palace."

"They’re over at the Dragon Demon Palace killing Spirit Refiners from the Wind Ling Sect, so it’s only natural that we kill Spirit Refiners from the Celestial Cloud Sect here. In fact, if they didn’t make a move, I’d lose all respect for them."

A late-stage Foundation Establishment Demon from the Celestial Demon Sect stretched his limbs, spoiling for a fight.

He had originally wanted to go to the Dragon Demon Palace and help them deal with the Wind Ling Sect.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to go.

Ever since then, he had been eagerly awaiting a move from the Celestial Cloud Sect’s Spirit Refiners. Now, it had finally happened.

"Where did the Foundation Establishment Spirit Refiner from the Celestial Cloud Sect show up?" another Celestial Demon Sect Elder asked urgently.

The Spirit Destruction Hall Master then began to explain the specifics of the situation.

"The mysterious Spirit Refiner has appeared at Iron Tiger Manor. By now, everyone there is likely dead."

"What? The mysterious Spirit Refiner has shown up again?"

"This mysterious Spirit Refiner is a real pain. I know he’s strong, but he’s also fast. The last time I rushed to reinforce Vortex Cave, he had already vanished without a trace."

At the mention of the mysterious Spirit Refiner, some frowned deeply, while others grew furious.

Some of the Foundation Establishment Demons among them were itching for a chance to face this mysterious Spirit Refiner.

A Demon’s personality is heavily influenced by their bloodline. As a result, learning of the mysterious Spirit Refiner’s exploits only made some of the Celestial Demon Sect Demons even more excited.

Most of these eager Demons were at the late-stage or Peak of Foundation Establishment. Demons below the late-stage of Foundation Establishment were far more level-headed when faced with such a powerful, mysterious Spirit Refiner.

"If we go to reinforce Iron Tiger Manor, I bet it’ll be just like with Vortex Cave. By the time we get there, we won’t even catch a glimpse of the mysterious Spirit Refiner’s shadow."

"Should we still go reinforce them, then?"

"Of course we’re going. Even if we don’t see the mysterious Spirit Refiner, we need to assess the situation at Iron Tiger Manor."

The Celestial Demon Sect Demons chimed in one after another.

Many of the Celestial Demon Sect Elders had their own opinions about what was happening at Iron Tiger Manor.

"Silence!"

When the Spirit Destruction Hall Master spoke, the other Celestial Demon Sect Elders fell silent.

"Regardless, we must go and investigate the situation at Iron Tiger Manor. Who is willing to go?"

The Spirit Destruction Hall Master’s gaze swept across the assembled Celestial Demon Sect Elders. Soon, several stood up, volunteering to make the trip to Iron Tiger Manor.

The ones willing to go were the very same Celestial Demon Sect Elders who had just argued that reinforcing Iron Tiger Manor was necessary.

With volunteers ready, the Spirit Destruction Hall Master quickly selected several Elders for the task.

They moved out immediately.

The sooner they reached Iron Tiger Manor, the better their chances of encountering the mysterious Spirit Refiner.

Killing the mysterious Spirit Refiner would be a monumental achievement. They might even be rewarded by the sect with a treasure to help them break through to the Core Formation Stage.

Although some of the Celestial Demon Sect Elders had left the Soul Destruction Hall, the meeting had to continue.

"Hall Master, since it’s only the mysterious Spirit Refiner who has appeared, should we still notify the Demon Spirit Sect and have them take action?"

"I’ve been considering that very question. What are your thoughts?"

"We can now be certain that the mysterious Spirit Refiner is from the Celestial Cloud Sect—one of their Elders. His actions represent the will of the Celestial Cloud Sect. The Demon Spirit Sect must act, or we won’t be able to handle the pressure."

"Elder Wang is right. I share his view."

On this matter, the Celestial Demon Sect Elders were far more unified in their opinions than on the previous one.

The certainty that the mysterious Spirit Refiner hailed from the Celestial Cloud Sect was a crucial premise.

The Spirit Destruction Hall Master didn’t make a decision just yet. Instead, he turned to Jiang Yingtian and asked,

"Elder Jiang, what are your thoughts?"

When the Spirit Destruction Hall Master posed the question, the hall fell silent for a moment.

As the former master of the Soul Destruction Hall, Jiang Yingtian was still subordinate to it, even though he no longer held the title. He was required to attend such meetings.

For the current Spirit Destruction Hall Master to ask such a question now was... curious.

If the former and current Hall Masters had a good, or even just a neutral, relationship, there would be nothing strange about the question. It could be seen as the new master seeking guidance from his more experienced predecessor.
