Chapter 823: Chapter 823

Not long after, the group arrived at a desolate area, where ruins were everywhere, and the demonic qi between Heaven and Earth became particularly violent—a place even the Demon Clan usually avoided.

"Boom~" A massive aura rose above the ruins, within the rolling black qi, a huge figure floated up, its cape billowing high, resembling a pair of wings behind, with a triangular head and scales covering the face.

Illusion Peach Demon Venerable immediately halted, looking at the figure in the darkness, a trace of hatred flickering in her eyes, and said, "Black Dragon Demon Venerable!"

More powerful auras rose one after another, and strong demons appeared within the black qi, their twisted figures seemed formidable and terrifying.

The Black Dragon Demon Venerable laughed wildly, exclaiming, "Little Taohua, we meet again, this time let’s see where you can run."

Illusion Peach Demon Venerable sneered coldly, screaming, "Evil Dragon~"

The form of the Black Dragon Demon Venerable shifted, a massive shadow of darkness enveloping Illusion Peach Demon Venerable, blocking out the sky and sun.

Illusion Peach Demon Venerable didn’t back down, directly confronting it, transforming into innumerable petals that flew out, each burning with a red flame difficult to extinguish, fiery and fierce, raining flowers across the sky.

The petals rushed into the black cloud, with continuous sounds of collisions coming from within, the black cloud exploded and rolled, faintly revealing two figures tearing through the space of Heaven and Earth.

Bai Jin raised his head and watched for a while, then asked, "What’s going on with Huan Tao? Does she have a grudge with this dragon?"

A Sheep Demon next to him quickly said, "Reporting to the lord, I heard that before Huan Tao Demon Venerable became a Demon Venerable, she went to the North Sea to train and nearly got casually killed by a Black Dragon Demon Venerable. Fortunately, she left a Lifebound Seed on the continent and survived, thus forming a deep grudge with the Black Dragon Demon Venerable.

Later Huan Tao Demon Venerable achieved the title of Demon Venerable and led her subordinates to the North Sea to seek revenge several times, but each time returned in defeat."

"So, Illusion Peach Demon Venerable is no match for this Black Dragon?"

The Sheep Demon carefully said, "Lord, after all, Illusion Peach Demon Venerable only became a Demon Venerable less than ten thousand years ago."

Boom~ The void shattered as Illusion Peach Demon Venerable, carrying endless peach blossoms, flew back, surrounded by fluttering fiery flowers, their beauty carrying a deadly intent.

"Roar~" Endless black clouds gathered into a giant Black Dragon’s head, devouring Illusion Peach Demon Venerable with an immense force, swallowing both sky and earth.

A sound of a shockwave was heard.

Bai Jin turned into a streak of black lightning and vanished in an instant; boom~ the enormous black dragon’s head suddenly exploded, forming rolling black clouds sweeping in all directions.

Two shadowy figures rushed out from within the black cloud, like meteors, crashing to the ground, causing the earth to tremble.

Bai Jin stood on the Black Dragon Demon Venerable, stepping on the shattered earth, his smoky attire and flowing long hair exuding arrogance.

The Black Dragon Demon Venerable struggled, unable to get up, exclaiming in disbelief, "Who are you?"

Illusion Peach Demon Venerable also felt stirred, unable to hold back and exclaimed, "Lord~"

The Black Dragon Demon Venerable laboriously turned its head towards Illusion Peach Demon Venerable, filled with incredulity—you call him Lord? Could this be a Demon Saint?

But... but aren’t Demon Gods all affected by the Laws of the Demon Realm, falling into a semi-mad state? Only a very few outstanding talents can break free from it; could it be that Illusion Peach Demon Venerable is so fortunate to meet a Demon Saint with restored sanity?

The subordinates of Black Dragon Demon Venerable were all in instant uproar; the great Black Dragon Demon Venerable was captured and trampled underfoot?

All demons immediately fled towards the ruins, as for rescuing the Black Dragon Demon Venerable, don’t be ridiculous, if the Black Dragon Demon Venerable can’t even win, how could we possibly rescue him?! Watching someone die without aiding is indeed a traditional virtue of the Demon Realm; there’s no such thing as loyalty in the Demon Realm.

Bai Jin coldly and arrogantly said, "I am the Pan Shi Demon Venerable, since the opening of Heaven and Earth, no demon dares to lay a hand on my people; how do you wish to die?"

"Cough cough~ Lord spare me, whatever Little Taohua can do for you, I can do too! I beg the lord to spare my life." The Black Dragon King pleaded, eyes filled with imploring gaze at Bai Jin.

Bai Jin showed a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The Black Dragon King’s eyes revealed a crazed resentment, boom~ its body suddenly exploded, turning into countless droplets of Black Water scattering and fleeing. This update ıs available on novel✶fire.net

Bai Jin instinctively wanted to use the Law to suppress but immediately stopped his action, a layer of cold sweat appearing on his forehead—using the Power of Laws here would be like lighting up a big beacon in a cesspit, suicidal!

Illusion Peach Demon Venerable promptly descended from the air, half-kneeling on the ground, gratefully saying, "Thank you, lord!"

Bai Jin, with arms clasped behind his back, said plainly, "There’s no need to thank me; not being able to keep him is truly regrettable."

"Although the lord did not kill him this time, he will not be well off either; the lord’s power is extremely fierce and brutal, surely inflicting significant injuries on him. Thank you, lord, for avenging me."

"The next time I see him, I will capture him and hand him over to you."

Illusion Peach Demon Venerable hesitated, softly asking, "Lord, why did you help me?"

Bai Jin turned his head towards Illusion Peach Demon Venerable, calmly saying, "You are my subordinate, how could I let you be bullied? Isn’t it my duty to stand up for you?"

Illusion Peach Demon Venerable looked up at Bai Jin, surprise on her face—subordinate? Standing up for her? Aren’t subordinates supposed to be abandoned at any time? There’s rarely any talk of loyalty in the Demon Realm; weaker demons would attach themselves to the strong, serving them, but such attachment holds no loyalty, and they would switch allegiance upon encountering a stronger demon.

Similarly, even as a Demon Venerable, there would be no regard for the lives of so-called subordinates, ready to discard them at any moment; however, why does this lord seem different?

"Remember, as my subordinates, you needn’t fear any demon. If you’re bullied, I’ll get justice for you."

A feeling never experienced before surged in Illusion Peach Demon Venerable’s heart, making her feel somewhat out of control, hastily saying, "Thank you... thank you, lord!"

Bai Jin waved a hand and said, "Let’s go! We shall see the so-called relics of Emperor Gouchen."

"Yes~" The crowd of demons shouted in unison.

These demons were somewhat stunned seeing Bai Jin standing up for his subordinate, a strange emotion emerging within them, even making their response louder.

Bai Jin led a group of demons towards the interior, unchallenged after the recent battle, reaching the so-called relics of Emperor Gouchen after a short while—five Da Luo Demon Venerables stood by the edge of a deep pit, all with deep auras.

The five Da Luo Demon Venerables quietly watched Bai Jin approach without making any move, a fierce gleam occasionally flashing in their eyes.

Bai Jin and Illusion Peach Demon Venerable walked towards the inside, while the rest of the demon subordinates stayed outside, walking up to the edge of the pit with an air of indifference.

Looking at the pit, Bai Jin had a fleeting thought—did I really cause this? The Heavenly Rules really hit hard!
