Shangguan Xi'er and the others' expressions stiffened, filled with vigilance. The master of the Demon Tribe made a move, and no one dared to guarantee that they could withstand it. Buzz! A wave of energy surrounded everyone, instantly alarming the master of the Demon Tribe. It glanced at the crowd and couldn't help but laugh loudly. Everyone was momentarily stunned.
"If I wanted to make a move, do you really think you could resist?" Although the shadow's face was unseen, it gave off a mocking demeanor, as if ridiculing everyone's self-importance. It looked on indifferently, and suddenly, a divine rainbow shot out from its eyes and landed on everyone.
"So strong!" At that moment, Qin Chen felt his entire body bound by an invisible force, almost unable to move. Everyone gasped in cold air; just a glance from the opponent made them feel like they were facing a great enemy. Just as the opponent said, if they truly meant to strike, could they withstand it? Didn't they see that the Heaven Devouring Demon Lord was also sealed here back then, unable to resist?
"Hahaha!" The shadow laughed again.
"Forget it, I won't play with you. Since you opened my palace and activated my legacy, Iām in a good mood and will give you all a chance to live."
The shadow's tone changed. The crowd was filled with excitement; could there be a turnaround?
"Here's the deal: as long as you offer up your treasures, if they satisfy me, I can let you go." The shadow said indifferently. Offer treasures? Everyone's hearts sank; this was robbery. But at this time, who dared to say no? Compared to dying here, offering treasures was clearly something anyone would accept. But what treasures would satisfy the opponent?
Soon, the shadow provided an answer. It glanced at Shangguan Xi'er and the ancestral magic blood scripture in front of the Demon Spirit and said lightly, "This book has a connection to me. Hand it over, and I will grant the two of you your freedom."
Hiss! Right from the start, asking for the ancestral magic blood scripture, would Shangguan Xi'er and that expert from the Demon Tribe agree? At that moment, everyone turned their gazes, wanting to see Shangguan Xi'er and the Demon Spirit's response.
"This..." Shangguan Xi'er hesitated for just a moment before immediately saying, "I am willing." She actually agreed.
Everyone was taken aback; Shangguan Xi'er agreed too readily, didn't she? But upon reflection, everyone realized that in such a situation, what else could they do but agree?
However, the Demon Spirit felt anxious; it was normal for Shangguan Xi'er to agree, after all, she couldn't control the ancestral magic blood scripture, but this item was the treasure of its Demon Tribe. If it were lost from its hands, how could it control the entire Demon Tribe? But at this moment, did it dare to say no?
"I, as a junior, am willing!" The Demon Spirit said bitterly, trembling. Buzz! It released its control over the ancestral magic blood scripture and let it float in the void. Once freed, the ancestral magic blood scripture seemed to know its fate and erupted in blood light, trying to escape.
Yet, ancient characters suddenly fell, turning into points of starlight, suppressing the blood light on the ancestral magic blood scripture. Buzz! The blood light and ancient characters quickly entangled, but how could the ancestral magic blood scripture withstand the suppression of the ancient characters? In just a few breaths, it was completely suppressed and unable to move.
"You can leave now," the shadow said lightly.
"Palace Master!" Shangguan Gufeng urgently shouted. The Demon Spirit gritted its teeth, its figure swayed, and it instantly vanished into the passage, disappearing from sight.
"They actually let them go?" Ji Jing Dan Emperor and the others were stunned, their hearts filled with joy. Didn't this mean they also had a chance to leave? Shangguan Xi'er surprisingly did not leave immediately. She stepped forward, kneeling on the ground respectfully, and said, "My Lord, I am Shangguan Xi'er, the foremost person of the Tianwu Continent. Your divine might is greatly admired by me. I wish to follow you and hope you will take me in, allowing me to serve you." She lowered her head slightly, revealing a shy demeanor that dazzled everyone, making them exclaim in amazement.
