“Thank you, lord asura dao ancestor, for coming to my rescue. This subordinate is deeply grateful and willing to sacrifice my life in your service.”
Mo Li was trembling with excitement, kneeling on one knee, tears of emotion brimming in his eyes. He looked as if he was about to declare this ancestor as his adoptive father on the spot.
“You... not bad!”
The asura dao ancestor glanced at Mo Li. A newcomer like Mo Li had previously been of no interest to him, and he didn’t even qualify to speak with him. However, Mo Li's ability to withstand the pressure of the judge demon king's aura earlier made the asura dao ancestor look at him with new eyes.
Especially when he noted that Mo Li's cultivation had just brushed against the third layer of transcendence realm, he was even more surprised.
To think there was such a talent under my command.
“Indeed!”
With the asura dao ancestor’s praise, Mo Li became even more excited. “Thank you, my lord.”
The judge demon king and his group flickered into the foreground. “Hmph, asura dao ancestor, this man is the killer of my subordinate. Do you want to protect him?”
The judge demon king stared coldly at Mo Li, an invisible pressure enveloping the surroundings.
Boom!
The asura dao ancestor waved his hand, shattering this pressure. “Judge demon king, don’t pull so many strings with me. This man is under my command. If you want to move against him, you’d better ask for my permission first.”
Bang!
Both sides, accompanied by their subordinates, clashed with their auras, causing terrifying energies to churn the Dead Sea beneath them, creating towering waves.
At this moment, in the nearby void, powerful figures emanating terrifying auras also appeared, having been drawn by the commotion. These were the strong from other factions, watching from a distance and not daring to intervene.
“You…”
The judge demon king narrowed his eyes, a surge of anger rising within him. He glanced at the distant crowd, contemplating the consequences of a confrontation. The Dead Sea was jointly sealed by the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan and the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor. If it was merely a conflict between subordinates, it could be brushed off as a misunderstanding. However, if the two of them fought, it would mean a formal break between the factions of the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan and the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor.
The implications would be far-reaching.
Most importantly...
The judge demon king fixed his gaze on the asura dao ancestor and the black giant umbrella beside him. He prided himself on being able to suppress the asura dao ancestor here in the Dead Sea without issue. However, with that quasi-emperor treasure, the Reincarnation Asura Umbrella, at play, it would be nearly impossible for him to eliminate him. At that point, the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor would definitely send more powerful figures, even projections, to intervene.
Not knowing the specific circumstances, provoking an emperor's avatar would lead to severe repercussions for him.
Realizing this, the judge demon king snorted coldly. “Asura dao ancestor, it’s not that I want to harm your man, but rather that he has killed my subordinates and even abducted my people. If I don’t get an explanation today, I will not let this matter rest.”
Boom!
A pitch-black brush materialized before the judge demon king, exuding a terrifying aura.
Ghost Two wasn't the main concern; the critical issue was the whereabouts of the individual sent into the Dead Sea Prison Cage by the emperor. Regardless of whether they were dead or alive, they needed to be found.
The judge demon king activated the brush, instantly filling the air with a soul-snatching killing intent.
This caused the asura dao ancestor's pupils to contract involuntarily.
Judge's Pen!
This was presumably a counterfeit of the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan's divine weapon, the Judge's Pen, but even a counterfeit was of quasi-emperor level. Coupled with the judge demon king's strength, the asura dao ancestor felt a hint of pressure.
