Two weeks later…

Outside the Grotto Heaven…

A large group of experts were currently standing outside the gates with solemn expressions on their faces. Currently, there were signs of the Grotto Heaven closing down soon and everyone was eager to see the results their disciples had in the past few months.

Since the Grotto Heaven opened, this region has become very very active. Experts from the surrounding regions have come here to both protect their juniors and look for other opportunities that might inevitably occur soon.

With signs of Grotto Heaven closing down appearing, everyone had assembled to take a look at the results. It is inevitable that there would be some conflicts once the disciples come out of the Grotto Heaven due to some disagreements inside.

There might even be opportunities to fish in troubled waters or pick up a bargain due to the chaos that was going to erupt soon. So, every expert was both anxious and eager at the moment.

Despite all these, everyone\'s eyes were trained on one particularly conspicuous group that was standing to the one side. Everyone knew that since these bastards had come over in strength, they would be looking for a fight.

So, everyone was wary of that group of people and were keeping a close eye on their movements. If it was possible, none of the experts wanted to fight with these lunatics right here at the doorstep of their sect.

Yes, the group everyone was worried about was the one from the Heavenly Demon Sect.

"Why do you think those lunatics have come in such strong numbers? Do you think there is something fishy?" one of the experts asked his friend in a worried tone.

"I am not sure. Usually, I would be confident that no one would be mad enough to take on the entire world. But, when it comes to these lunatics, I am not very sure about that…"

"Should we prepare?"

"It is better to be prepared. Do not provoke them no matter what. Once our disciples come out, we will leave this place as soon as possible…"

"Don\'t care about others… we will evacuate once our disciples appear. The situation looks turbulent…"

"Should we call for reinforcements…"

"Have those figures from the hegemonic sects arrived?"

Numerous conversations were conducted mentally as the experts looked at the distant group with growing apprehension.

Even though they strongarmed the Heavenly Demon Sect and forced them to allow their disciples to enter the Grotto Heaven, none of the righteous cultivators wanted a fight to occur with these lunatics at the moment.

On the contrary, other demonic sects were quite eager to see if the Heavenly Demon Sect still had the qualifications to he be the hegemon amongst them. So, they were quite ready to stir the pot and see the strength of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

But, they were also aware of the precarious situation currently. They knew that the Heavenly Demon Sect was looking for an excuse at the moment. Their strong lineup made it clear to them that the Heavenly Demon Sect was looking to showcase its power.

At this moment, if they miscalculated, the Heavenly Demon Sect would end up turning on them and exterminating them as well. So, they need to move delicately and not expose their true thoughts.

"Sect Master, when the time comes I will try to goad the Heavenly Demon Sect a little. We can see from their response how confident they are?"

"Don\'t be foolish. Do not stand out. Let others test them out. What are we to do if those lunatics turned around and bit us?"

"We have instructed our disciples to not listen to the orders of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Let\'s see how that panned out later…"

"Do you think we can start the conflict by attacking those cowards from the righteous sects?"

"Ah! Demoness Feng looks very sexy. I want to have her under me…"

"Concentrate idiot… this is not the time to let your needs go out of control…"

"Who cares, if we can kill all these bastards, wouldn\'t Demoness Feng become our plaything? What do you say, old man? This is a good opportunity…"

"Didn\'t you see the Wind Demon present there? Moreover, there are also several elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect present. Do not create too much trouble. It looks like they are also looking for a fight…"I think you should take a look at

"Damn! Do they need to mobilize this many experts? Are they preparing for war or something…" 

The current situation was really delicate with multiple hidden undercurrents flowing. The righteous sects didn\'t want a fight. The demonic sects wanted to check the strength of the Heavenly Demon Sect. As for what the Heavenly Demon Sect wanted to do, no one was clear about it.

This was truly a powderkeg waiting to explode.

Liang Tianye stood amidst the Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators and eyed the myriad experts who were watching their group a little apprehensively. He almost sneered looking at their pitiful postures.

None of them dared to look at the group from the Heavenly Demon Sect directly. Seeing their flitting eyes almost made him laugh. He didn\'t know how these useless idiots had the courage to intrude into their sect\'s territory boldly.

Now that the Heavenly Demon Sect had responded aggressively, these sheep were fidgeting nervously. It was almost comical to even think about why his Senior Brother gave ground to such a bunch of cowards.

Just thinking about it made him a bit irritable. Even though he knew about the numerous calculations his Senior Brother performed in order to ensure such a state, he couldn\'t help but feel aggrieved a little.

It\'s a good thing that this farce would come to an end soon. 

Looking around, he could see several elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect were also itching to let loose. All they needed was a little push. Once a conflict erupts, it would soon escalate. He would make sure of it.

As he looked around, his eyes passed over Feng Feixuan as well. She was back to her usual self that both captivated and tormented cultivators of the opposite sex. Looking at the way several righteous cultivators were shooting her discreet glances, he couldn\'t help but smile.

Just knowing that a woman who everyone wanted to tame was already tamed by him, brought him an immense sense of satisfaction. In recent days, her actions have given him a lot of confidence in conquering her completely one day.

Right now, he was content with the level of loyalty shown by her. He knew from Feng Feixuan\'s information that several elders were dispatched this time to keep an eye on his actions. If he started a fight without proper justification, he might be the one that would end up being suppressed.

It looked like the First Grand Elder was really worried about him stirring things up. Therefore, he has dispatched a lot of elders to suppress him and even kill him if needed. It showed him how worried the First Grand Elder was about his Senior Brother.

While he wasn\'t afraid in dealing with this bunch of ants, he knew that it wasn\'t time for him to reveal his true strength. There is still time for the Aghori Path to descend. Tipping his hand now would arouse the vigilance of the righteous sects and people from the Central Continent would be alerted that something fishy was going on.

Liang Tianye knew that was something that his Senior Brother wanted to avoid at all costs. His Senior Brother was very firm on that. As much as his Senior Brother wanted chaos to occur, he had also stressed the importance of keeping their real cultivation levels hidden until the Aghori Path started descending.

When the time comes, their hidden strength would be the trump card needed to perform crucial roles. So, he couldn\'t expose them at this moment. This meant that without proper justification, he must not create chaos right here, right now.

But, Liang Tianye wasn\'t worried.

He already had a good plan in his mind. When the Grotto Heaven closes and his disciple fails to exit, he would create a ruckus and kill a few righteous cultivators to sow chaos. What happened after that wouldn\'t be his problem.

This way, he would have a clear reason to go berserk. It didn\'t matter if anyone believed it. The people sent by the First Grand Elder might be suspicious, but they can\'t gainsay him when he uses the reason of taking revenge for his disciple. That would make the sect look weak and he knew that the First Grand Elder was worried about it as well.

Smirking at the assembled men, Liang Tianye waited for the Grotto Heaven to close. In the distance, the Grotto Heaven showed signs of destabilizing. Looking at the destabilizing Grotto Heaven, Liang Tianye couldn\'t help but grin widely.

Once this Grotto Heaven destabilizes, the final node of the formation preventing the descent of the Aghori Path will be eliminated. And within a year, the Aghori Path will descend into this world and their long mission would come to an end.

Liang Tianye felt his blood boil with anticipation as he looked ahead at the gates of the Grotto Heaven.

In the distance, cracks started appearing on the majestic gates of the Grotto Heaven…
