“Hahaha, so it is.” Under the seal, the shadow laughed wildly, “Back in the day, the Tian Wu Continent was filled with powerful individuals, and the Holy Realm was like clouds. To stop the invasion of my Demon Tribe, how many heroic figures emerged! Unfortunately, now…” The shadow shook its head and said with a strange laugh, “If you can rescue me, what is a mere Holy Realm? The rules of the Tian Wu Continent are not suitable for my tribe to survive here. You should also understand clearly that our tribe came to this continent solely to obtain one thing, and the control of the Tian Wu Continent is not something we care about.”
“As long as you can rescue this Demon Lord, I can guarantee that I will allow you to step into the Holy Realm, and once we conquer the Tian Wu Continent, the entire continent will be under your rule. You will truly become the supreme ruler of this continent, while our tribe only needs to obtain that one thing.”
The Demon Lord of Devouring Heaven laughed maniacally, a wave of demonic energy surging wildly.
“Words alone are not enough; do you dare to swear with your heart demon?” Shangguan Xi’er said coldly.
“Hahaha, why not? I, the Demon Lord of Devouring Heaven, swear here that if the Empress of Piao Miao Palace releases me, I will ensure she steps into the Holy Realm and rules the Tian Wu Continent. If I break my oath, may countless demons devour my heart and kill me!” The Demon Lord of Devouring Heaven swore to the heavens, reciting an incantation.
At that moment, a vast power descended, filled with wicked intent, pouring into the heart of the Demon Lord of Devouring Heaven. This was the Heart Demon Oath!
“Very good.” Shangguan Xi’er nodded slightly, her figure suddenly moving, whoosh, transforming into a streak of light, charging straight at the shadow.
“Block her!”
Qin Chen shouted in anger.
There was no need for Qin Chen to speak; everyone present who could move sprang into action. A decisive look flashed in Qin Chen's eyes as he urged the Half Yue Ancient Sword, slicing it toward Shangguan Xi’er like lightning.
“Palace Master, you may act; this old one will block them.”
Shangguan Gufeng and the Demon Lord of Swallowing Heaven moved as well, their figures swaying forward, fiercely attacking Qin Chen and the others. Boom! The heavens and earth trembled, and a fierce battle erupted.
“You two, block the Demon Lord of Swallowing Heaven.” Qin Chen commanded in a low voice, glancing at Chi Yan Demon Lord and Mo Li, relaying his thoughts.
“You brat, do you think this seat is afraid of you?” Chi Yan Demon Lord growled angrily, deeply uncomfortable with Qin Chen's commanding tone.
“Oh? If you don’t obey this Young Master’s orders, I can’t guarantee I won’t reveal your identities,” Qin Chen snorted coldly.
“Hmph, little brat, you should see the situation clearly; now it is my Demon Tribe in control. As soon as we expose our identities, it will be your turn to wait for death.”
“Don’t think this Young Master doesn’t know what you’ve done in the Ancient Yu Realm; it’s clear that you are not on the same side as Piao Miao Palace. Besides, the Demon Lord of Swallowing Heaven and you should have grievances, right? Moreover, if you two truly want to release the Demon Lord of Devouring Heaven, why pretend and be sneaky?” Qin Chen scoffed repeatedly.
After all this time interacting with the Demon Tribe, he had come to understand their structure. Although their ranks were clear, unlike humans who schemed against each other, they were not completely united either.
Initially, in the Ancient Yu Realm, the Enforcer Hall’s Quinn had even intended to use the Blood Scripture of Ancestors to devour Chi Yan Demon Lord and others to become a Demon Lord. This was a naked display of the survival of the fittest. If the Demon Lord of Devouring Heaven were released, Qin Chen sensed that the fate of Chi Yan Demon Lord and Mo Li would not be good; otherwise, they wouldn’t be showing this attitude now.
