“Who exactly are you?” Many people trembled and said solemnly.
“I have said it before, I can only disclose this to Elder Gu Mo. Are you all deaf? My identity is a top secret, even the Supreme Abyss Devourer is not very clear about it. Elder Gu Mo was the ancestor's companion back in the day. Given the urgent situation, informing him is already a last resort.”
“If you want to know, you may, but when the ancestor comes to punish you in the future, I fear none of you will be able to bear the consequences.”
The lord of abyssal demons spoke arrogantly, and his imposing aura caused everyone’s expressions to change drastically.
In an instant, everyone’s gaze fell upon Elder Gu Mo.
Currently, within the Punishment Hall, Elder Gu Mo indeed held the most authority and had the deepest qualifications.
With the ancestral ancestor and clan leader absent, unless they awakened the Supreme Elders who were in closed-door cultivation, Elder Gu Mo, in terms of cultivation and status, was already the top figure in the Abyss Demon Tribe.
Elder Gu Mo’s eyes flickered as he said, “Since this is the ancestor's arrangement, I shouldn’t be prying into your identity. However, for the safety of our clan, I have no choice but to come forward.”
As Elder Gu Mo spoke, he approached the lord of abyssal demons.
“Brother Undead, please step aside. I have matters to discuss with Elder Gu Mo,” the lord of abyssal demons said to Qin Chen.
Qin Chen glanced at him indifferently, not caring at all, and simply walked to the side.
The lord of abyssal demons looked at Elder Gu Mo and had already transmitted a sound into his ear: “Elder Gu Mo, I am the Sky Abyss Supreme, the designated inheritor of the Abyss Demon Tribe by the ancestor. Once the ancestor breaks through to the transcendence realm, he will certainly enter the cosmic sea, and at that time, someone will need to take charge of the Abyss Demon Tribe’s heritage, and I am the true heir of the ancestor.”
The voice of the lord of abyssal demons contained a special demonic power that entered Elder Gu Mo's ears.
“You are the ancestor’s inheritor? Impossible…”
Elder Gu Mo’s expression changed subtly upon hearing this. He transmitted a fierce rebuke, with disbelief in his eyes. Suddenly, a terrifying aura surged from his body.
“Are you joking?”
Elder Gu Mo’s expression turned cold.
The inheritor of the ancestor? How could this be possible? What a joke! Everyone knows that the current inheritor of the Abyss Demon Tribe is the Supreme Abyss Devourer, who is also the current clan leader!
Seeing Elder Gu Mo’s actions, the other elders present also changed color.
Boom!
Elder Mo Xin and other powerful figures surged forward suddenly, and a terrifying demonic energy instantly enveloped the area, transforming the entire starry sky into a dark night.
“Elder Gu Mo, are you alright?”
Many powerful figures spoke solemnly, their expressions cautious, staring intensely at the lord of abyssal demons and Qin Chen.
“Everyone, step back!”
Elder Gu Mo shouted coldly, waving his hand with a stern expression.
A few elders exchanged glances, hesitated for a moment, and then retreated slightly.
“Joking? This seat never jokes.”
The lord of abyssal demons remained calm and unafraid, not showing any signs of change despite Elder Gu Mo’s actions.
At this moment, Elder Gu Mo had already regained his composure from his shock. He stared at the lord of abyssal demons, smirking as he transmitted, “You claim to be the ancestor's inheritor. How can I believe you? The current inheritor of our Abyss Demon Tribe is clearly the Supreme Abyss Devourer, who is already the clan leader.”
“The Supreme Abyss Devourer?”
The lord of abyssal demons laughed. “It’s normal for others not to see it. Elder Gu Mo, you are an elder close to the ancestor, how could you not see that the Supreme Abyss Devourer is merely a smokescreen set by the ancestor?”
“The Supreme Abyss Devourer’s cultivation is not weak, but he is too foolish, a complete idiot. Do you really think the ancestor would choose him as his heir? With the ancestor’s means, he would certainly have a backup plan. And this seat is the ancestor’s backup.”
