"You are very smart."
"Being better at analysis!"
"good."
After hearing what the other party said, Xu Shan immediately replied with a smile.
"Lord Xu, we were blind and offended you."
"They were even more deceived by the Styx Ancestor and his group."
"Please, please let us go."
"We are willing to provide cover for your travels in the underground cave."
"Otherwise, with your appearance as a mortal martial artist, you would be recognized by the demons at a glance once you arrive at the Styx Palace."
"What do you think?"
After the other party finished speaking, Xu Shan grinned and asked, "The high and mighty Earth Demon is begging for mercy from a martial arts cultivator in the mortal realm?"
"Did I hear correctly?"
Where did your sense of superiority and arrogance go?
"I still prefer the ruthless spirit you displayed when you invoked the Styx Ancestor with your arrogant words."
'bass.'
As Xu Shan spoke these words, a sinister aura instantly enveloped him.
"what……"
Feeling the immense pressure on its body, the leading demon let out another shrill scream.
"Xu, Xu Shan, without our help, in your current state, you would have no chance of escaping the Earth Demon's pursuit."
"You, you really need to think this through..."
"Is that so?" After saying this, in a daze, the previously handsome Master Xu, with the help of [Disguise], instantly transformed into the appearance of this earth demon.
"Huh? This, how is this possible? You, how did you do that?"
Instead of giving a direct answer, Xu Shan sneered, "You think you can use your identity and image to roam the underground world?"
"Should you just disappear completely?"
'Pah-ta-ta.'
"run."
While Xu Shan was fully focused on dealing with the first demon, the other surviving demons endured the excruciating pain and prepared to escape.
"Run separately."
"Whoever escapes alive should tell the Styx Ancestor that Xu Shan has stormed into the underground cave."
As soon as one of the demons finished speaking, Xu Shan, who had been standing there motionless, smiled and said, "I won't trouble you all to relay the matter of my coming to the underground cave."
"I'll tell Ancestor Styx myself!"
'boom.'
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shan raised his arm.
Those earth demons who hadn't run far were completely engulfed by the instantly burning dust and sand.
There were no piercing screams, for they were reduced to ashes almost instantly.
The only one still alive was the earth demon that Xu Shan had trampled under his feet.
In that instant, his eyes were filled with endless fear.
"Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts and be punished!"
"The value of this statement continues to rise."
"Is it right?"
Having absorbed some of the other party's memories, Xu Shan coldly sneered as he finished speaking to this last Earth Demon, then casually raised his right arm.
The next second, the opponent was enveloped in black flames.
Then, it was embedded in the yellow sand and carried away by the wind.
"I came, I saw, I conquered!"
“Ancestor Styx, this time I’ll tear your underwear off completely.”
'bass! ’
After uttering those words, Xu Shan's figure disappeared into the swirling yellow sand.
In front of the Styx Palace...
Summoned by the 'Demon's Call,' tens of thousands of Earth Demon followers gathered here.
The Earth Demon, who was cultivating far away, was greatly surprised by this summons.
After gathering in small groups, they asked each other what had happened.
The Earth Demon, who witnessed the shattering of the Styx King's soul sculpture and the revelation of the 'Sky Curtain', briefly recounted the events.
Upon hearing this, many of the demons questioned, "What did you say?"
"Xu Shan not only didn't die, but he also personally killed the Styx King in the mortal realm?"
"Who were those mortal martial artists who were subjected to extreme punishment before [Shaoyin Xuanwang]?"
After he finished speaking, the Earth Demon who was cultivating there shook his head and said, "Who knows?"
"Some say that the Styx Ancestor and the Demon Lord have actually lost control of the mortal realm."
"They deliberately found a few scapegoats to keep the underground cave under control."
"The purpose is to extract the 'power of faith' to suppress the eighteen levels of hell."
"That's right, the mortal realm has long suppressed the earth demons."
After someone finished speaking, some radical and fanatical demons immediately retorted, "Bullshit!"
"The cultivation environment in the mortal realm has been exploited by earth demons and celestial beings for nearly two decades."
"Those who follow the Taiyin or Shaoyin path will find it difficult to absorb the power of the earthly evil; those who follow the Taiyang or Shaoyang path will not receive spiritual energy."
"In such an environment, it is truly rare for a few pseudo-saint-level grandmasters to emerge."
"And completely suppress the Earth Demon?"
"If the mortal realm had no rules to restrict it, it would have long since become the territory of us demons."
As he said...
Ever since Wutian wreaked havoc in heaven and earth, both the celestial realm and the underground caves have seen the emergence of demons in order to curb the chaos in the mortal realm.
It almost completely cut off the possibility of obtaining evil energy and spiritual energy in the mortal realm.
Of the few secret realms in the world, apart from 'Book Mountain and Martial Sea' which was sealed by several grandmasters to become a passage for martial arts practitioners to advance, the rest are all fraught with hidden dangers.
For this reason, in recent decades, apart from martial arts practitioners who voluntarily 'sacrifice' their souls and become henchmen of celestial beings and earth demons, no one has broken through to the Ninth Grade Great Perfection and reached the Pseudo-Saint Realm.
Of course, all of this became history with the appearance of Xu Shan.
This is also why both the celestial beings and the earth demons tried every means to kill him.
This will eliminate the potential danger.
But who would have thought...
Not only did he fail, but he also became even more powerful.
This led to the "Death Knell Project," and the reunion of the Celestials and the Demons after a sixty-year hiatus.
Even after the earth demon finished speaking, voices of doubt still arose.
"Having said that..."
"Then how do you explain the fact that the Styx King was killed by Xu Shan?"
"Could it be that the one who was executed earlier was not 'Xu Shan' himself, but rather that the Styx Ancestor and the [Lesser Yin Mystic King] deliberately deceived us?"
"Asshole."
Are you questioning the Styx Ancestor and the Demon Lord?
"Today, the Demon Lord summoned us. He will surely give us a reasonable explanation."
"Words can be dangerous; it's best to be careful."
When the demon guards who had raised doubts issued such a stern warning, those demons who had reservations naturally dared not utter another word.
But privately, there was still a lot of discussion.
Too many irrationalities caused them to gradually lose trust in the Ancestor and the Demon Lord.
Just then, a malevolent gust of wind swept over their heads.
"what?"
Sensing these things, the demons instinctively raised their heads.
A black gust of wind flashed past his head.
When this black wind appeared in the Styx Palace and revealed its true form, many of the demons present shouted in unison, "It is... it is King Moro?"
"We pay our respects to King Moro!"
