Wang Wenjia was the Capital City Commander of the nine outposts outside the Demon Realm. He was startled the moment the thunderclap sounded.
'Has another Demon Cultivator snuck into the Demon Realm?' was his first thought.
Some Demon Cultivators, lacking a Demon Summoning Technique and unwilling to become monstrous creatures—neither human nor ghost—by absorbing Muddy Qi, would turn their covetous eyes toward the Demon Realm, attempting to acquire a demon from within.
Most of these audacious fools died at the hands of the Demon Suppression Army at the outposts. The few who slipped through the net were devoured by the Celestial Demons in the Demon Realm.
That prospect was manageable. What Wang Wenjia feared most was a Demon Cultivator emerging from the Demon Realm alive. Such cultivators had not found a compatible Celestial Demon; rather, they had been possessed, becoming vessels for Celestial Demons to infiltrate the Nine Heavens World.
