Chapter 853: Chapter 853

Buddha Ancestor Wutian bowed deeply, performed a formal salute, and respectfully said, "Disciple Jin Naluo greets Master, many thanks to Master for saving A Xiu’s life."

Kui Gang Dharma Ancestor was stunned for a moment, feeling infuriated! Damn Wutian, not confronting Emperor Gouchen directly, yet lowering himself to build connections, flattering , shameless, truly shameless, a disgrace to the Demon King! Never have I seen such a brazen person!!

Sky Demon King Kui Gang swiftly stood up from the Dragon Chair, quickly cupped his fists and bent forward, shouting, "Sky Demon King Kui Gang greets the Demon Sect Leader!"

Bai Jin was momentarily dumbfounded, wondering what was happening now? Jin Naluo saluting him was reasonably understandable, since A Xiu is his disciple, and Jin Naluo is practically his half-disciple as well.

But what has gotten into this Sky Demon King? Could it be he truly recognizes me as the Demon Sect Leader? Or is he trying to deceive me, then launch a surprise attack?

Bai Jin felt uncertain about Kui Gang’s intentions, and silently raised his guard.

The other Demon Lords were all bewildered, turning their heads to look at the two supreme Demon Kings bowing on bent knees, then stiffly turned to glance at Emperor Gouchen on the Golden Chariot, filled with disbelief—could the status of an Emperor from the Three Realms be this exalted? Even upon entering the Demon Realm, the Demon King must pay respect? What happened to the promised intrigue? What happened to suppressing the Emperor? What exactly is going on now?

Illusion Peach Demon Venerable felt a surge of excitement and immediately exclaimed with enthusiasm, "Demon Sect Leader, magic rises to the heavens, undefeated in attack, invincible in battle."

The other Demon Sect Demon Lords instinctively followed suit, shouting, "Demon Sect Leader, mighty above Heaven and Earth, magic limitless, snapping fingers break immortals."

"Stars fall, Heaven and Earth shatter, only the Leader is eternal."

Within the Demon Sect, Great Elder Huan Tao had once decreed that all Demon Sect disciples must daily praise the great Leader in their speech. These flattering phrases were personally set by the Great Elder, and the Demon Sect disciples had become accustomed to it naturally. Now, spurred on by Illusion Peach Demon Venerable, other Demon Lords followed suit, and even the Loose Cultivators joined in with a few shouts.

"Enough~" Bai Jin’s helpless voice echoed between Heaven and Earth, silencing the nearly ten thousand Demon Lords.

All Demon Lords immediately fell silent, lowering their gazes. In the Demon Sect, Illusion Peach Demon Venerable had been like a brainwashing force, praising Bai Jin as the paramount being in the world, the strongest demon across ages, wickedly domineering and unbeatable. Now with both Demon Kings bowing, they were even more convinced, holding only one thought, the Great Elder Huan Tao was not at all inaccurate; the Leader is even stronger than described.

Though the Leader is the Emperor Gouchen of the Three Realms, but doesn’t mean there are issues! Didn’t you see how respectful the two Demon Kings are? Even if, in the end, the Demon King still acts against the Leader, what does it have to do with us? The law doesn’t punish the masses!

The silken curtain drew aside to reveal the figure inside, Bai Jin sat high in the seat, face stern and actually trembling with cold inside. But to the numerous Demon Lords, it appeared cold and ruthless, truly a peerless Leader.

Bai Jin stood and glanced down at Illusion Peach Demon Venerable kneeling outside, his heart filled with anger and grief! How my subordinates mislead me!

Illusion Peach Demon Venerable became even more respectful, her flushed face showing excitement, heart thumping wildly. The Leader looked at me, the Leader personally gazed at me.

Bai Jin stood and began walking outward, raised a hand and said, "Stand up!"

In the Dark Illusion Sea, vast Star Power surged, forming an immense force; over ten thousand Demon Lords all stood uncontrollably, raising their heads in astonishment and excitement to look at Bai Jin. Is this the Leader’s mighty force? Able to even evoke the power of the Dark Illusion Sea, truly the Emperor Gouchen! Truly the Demon Sect Leader!

Buddha Ancestor Wutian and Sky Demon King also arose.

Buddha Ancestor Wutian smiled and said, "Emperor, the Demon Ancestor is still waiting for you, please follow me."

Kui Gang Dharma Ancestor quickly extended a hand, laughing heartily and said, "Leader, I will guide the way for you."

In the rolling ink clouds, countless Heavenly Demons all froze, could Dharma Ancestor laugh? And laugh so joyfully?

Bai Jin said helplessly, "Very well!" With an icy heart, he moved towards Buddha Ancestor Wutian, feeling a sense of desolation, thinking how he, Bai Jin, traversed the Primordial World invincible, yet would fall here in the Demon Realm, what happened to the prophecy that great merit brings fortune? To being shielded by Heaven and Earth with great merit? Lies, all lies.

Bai Jin took a few steps, suddenly stopping in his tracks, looking back at the tens of thousands of Demon Lords below, truly unable to understand how Illusion Peach Demon Venerable accomplished this. How could one rally such a large faction in such a short time?

Thousands of Demon Lords eagerly watched Bai Jin, thinking, the Leader is gone, can the Demon Ancestor’s protection be granted to us?

Bai Jin’s gaze fixed on Illusion Peach Demon Venerable, spoke softly, "Huan Tao, thank you."

Illusion Peach Demon Venerable excitedly declared, "Serving the Leader is the subordinate’s honor."

Bai Jin turned and walked upward; Buddha Ancestor Wutian, Kui Gang Dharma Ancestor’s figures flickered and appeared behind Bai Jin as time and space twisted, and the three vanished without a trace.

At the center of the True Demon Realm, a peak reached the sky, even Demons found it hard to glimpse the summit. The mountainside was perpetually shrouded in deep Demon Cloud, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling incessantly, making it impossible even for Demon Lords to fly over.

At the summit lay a desolate silence; even the wind was missing. A grand palace rested atop the peak, with the plaque reading "Black Cloud Palace" in large characters.

Three figures appeared before the Black Cloud Palace, precisely Emperor Gouchen Bai Jin, Buddha Ancestor Wutian, and Kui Gang Dharma Ancestor.

Bai Jin looked up at the plaque, sighed inwardly, realizing he had indeed been found and unable to escape! No, he must find a way to save himself.

Wutian Demon Ancestor extended a hand, smiling and said, "Emperor, please enter, the Demon Ancestor has been waiting for quite some time."

"Actually, I have long admired the Demon Ancestor!" Reaching this point, what else can be done? Indeed accepting fate, Bai Jin with a smile uttered a phrase, and the trio moved inside.

From outside, the interior of Black Cloud Palace appeared purely dark, without the slightest gleam, seemingly capable of devouring everything.

Entering through the dark portal, a sudden brightness appeared, and the three found themselves in a starry sky, standing atop a broken meteorite, with only Star Fragments surrounding above—a barren desolation.

A middle-aged man in a purple robe sat grandiosely on a gray stone, one foot lifted onto a rock, appearing proud and unrestrained.

Bai Jin promptly bowed down, respectfully saying, "Greetings Demon Ancestor, wishing Demon Ancestor’s Demon Path prosperity." His actions were even quicker and more practiced than Buddha Ancestor Wutian. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel⁂fire.net

Buddha Ancestor Wutian and Kui Gang Dharma Ancestor followed suit, respectfully saying, "Greetings Demon Ancestor!"

Luo Hou turned his head to look at Bai Jin, calmly said, "Have you met me before?"

"Then how do you know I am the Demon Ancestor?"
