Being suppressed in the depths of the Great Abyss for eighteen layers over twenty-five years, let alone a Ninth Realm powerhouse, even those rare Tenth Realm individuals seen once in tens of thousands of years would find it hard to bear, right?
“A while ago, I secretly pushed Bian Mao, Yin Shiliu, and other Eighth Realm pinnacle demons to make a move against Xiahou Yuan…”
“The result….”
“Bian Mao and the others have not contacted me to this day.”
The plump beautiful woman spoke.
In fact, she had more information that she hadn’t mentioned, such as not only Bian Mao and Yin Shiliu but also one of her disciples.
“Bian Mao, Yin Shiliu…”
Upon hearing this, the expression of the demon lords present darkened.
They had also heard of these rising stars of the Demonic Tao.
Especially Yin Shiliu, whose assassination techniques were enough to make Ninth Realm powerhouses wary.
It’s impossible for ordinary Ninth Realm individuals to deal with these two quietly.
The plump beautiful woman said that Xiahou Yuan had already recovered to Ninth Realm strength, and she meant no exaggeration.
“Moyang, why don’t you say something?”
“What should we do now?”
A demon lord frowned, looking towards Moyang Demon Lord, who was seated at the head.
This gathering of demon lords was entirely due to the invitation of Moyang Demon Lord.
When Xiahou Yuan was around, they served under the Demon Lord as led by Moyang Demon Lord.
After Xiahou Yuan’s suppression, the nine demon lords scattered, but it was Moyang Demon Lord whose influence was greatest.
“What to do?”
“Anyway, I don’t want to go back to those old days.”
Moyang Demon Lord chuckled coldly.
The other eight demon lords, hearing Moyang Demon Lord’s stance, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn’t just Moyang Demon Lord; none of them wanted that.
…
“Moyang, please, share your thoughts.”
The demon lord who started speaking immediately asked.
Knowing Moyang Demon Lord as they did, they were sure he wouldn’t speak with such confidence without a solid plan.
“Xiahou Yuan, coming out from the Great Abyss, will definitely seek revenge against the Tianjian Sect.”
“Twenty-five years ago, Tianjian Zi personally sealed Xiahou Yuan. Do you think Xiahou Yuan could endure not avenging this?”
Moyang Demon Lord countered.
“Indeed.”
“That Tianjian Zi was no saint either, using Bai Qing’er, that vile woman, to break Xiahou Yuan’s spirit.”
“Now that Xiahou Yuan has emerged, he likely won’t trouble us for the time being.”
“But the Tianjian Sect is not easy to provoke, and Tianjian Zi is even recognized as the strongest in the world.”
“As Xiahou Yuan seeks revenge against the Tianjian Sect, we only need to watch…”
The demon lords thought along the lines Moyang Demon Lord suggested.
They all exhaled in relief.
“But what if….”
“What if Xiahou Yuan doesn’t target the Tianjian Sect but comes after us instead?”
The plump beautiful woman frowned and voiced the concern of many demon lords.
Indeed.
What if?
Xiahou Yuan was a man who never conformed to normal reasoning.
“What if?”
Moyang Demon Lord chuckled coldly again.
“That’s exactly why I called you all here.”
“Although the likelihood is small, we still need to consider it.”
Moyang Demon Lord, having lived for hundreds of years, naturally thought everything through.
“This Underground Palace, which took me twenty years to construct, is equipped with nine Sky-ranked Demon Formations…”
“We nine demon lords, just by sitting within these nine formations and utilizing the geographical advantage, can hold off even a Tenth Realm powerhouse for a while.”
“That Xiahou Yuan will definitely be at a loss against us, and he naturally won’t engage with us indefinitely.”
“Even if he does persist, we can secretly contact Tianjian Zi, who I’m certain is very interested in Xiahou Yuan.”
Moyang Demon Lord asserted with confidence.
Being a demon lord, he did not mind cooperating with lawful forces.
“Nine Sky-ranked Demon Formations?”
“Moyang, you’ve really gone all out.”
“No wonder I felt a bit oppressed when I entered this Underground Palace; it was the Sky-ranked Demon Formations…”
The other demon lords were slightly shocked upon hearing this.
They were well aware of the formidable nature of the Sky-ranked Demon Formation; one such formation could potentially suppress a Ninth Realm powerhouse.
What to speak of nine?
“Alright.”
“These are the vital points of the Sky-ranked Demon Formations, familiarize yourselves with them.”
Moyang Demon Lord, with a thought, sent eight jade stones to the eight demon lords.
“Vital points?”
“Brilliant, these nine formations are not separate entities, but rather like a whole. As main formation demon lords, with just a thought, we can control the power of the Great Formation…”
The eight demon lords quickly comprehended, overwhelmed with joy.
No wonder Moyang Demon Lord was so calm; it turned out he had such a trump card.
At this point, the faces of the eight demon lords finally showed a relaxed smile, their spirits having not been at ease since they learned of Xiahou Yuan’s emergence.
Just at this moment.
A man in black tight-fitting clothes, looking panicked, ran in.
“Demon Lord, there, there are people, people who have intruded.”
The man in tight clothes was trembling as he spoke, clearly still finding it hard to believe at this moment.
“Someone has intruded?”
Moyang Demon Lord’s pupils tightened.
As the master builder of this Underground Palace, he had arranged a large number of followers outside, with more than ten demons from the Eighth Realm.
In such a situation.
How could outsiders possibly break in?
The Underground Palace was crisscrossed, suppressed by a Sky-ranked Great Formation, rendering ordinary exploration methods utterly ineffective.
Even Ninth Realm powerhouses could be trapped for a while.
“What exactly is going on…”
Moyang Demon Lord was about to inquire.
A series of light footsteps sounded.
A few Demon Lords looked up to see a tall woman standing at the doorway
Upon seeing this woman.
The nine Demon Lords furrowed their brows tightly.
“Nuan Shu?”
“How come you…”
Moyang Demon Lord was astonished in his heart.
The other eight Demon Lords were equally baffled.
They naturally recognized Nuan Shu; back when Xiahou Yuan was still around, Nuan Shu was one of the thirty-six protectors just below their rank as the nine great Demon Lords.
Just as Moyang Demon Lord was about to continue asking.
Next to Nuan Shu, a tall figure appeared at some unknown time.
At the sight of the tall figure, the minds of the nine great Demon Lords roared.
“Xia….. Xiahou Yuan?”
The nine great Demon Lords looked as if they had seen a ghost.
They were just discussing how to face Xiahou Yuan.
Unexpectedly, Xiahou Yuan appeared before them.
“My lord.”
Moyang Demon Lord immediately reacted.
He bowed slightly to Xiahou Yuan and spoke in a low voice, “May I know what brings my lord to this Underground Palace?”
Although he was sincerely unwilling to face Xiahou Yuan.
Thinking back to the days when he was under Xiahou Yuan’s rule, Moyang Demon Lord felt he could struggle a bit.
After all.
With the strategies Moyang Demon Lord had laid out over the years, including the nine Sky-ranked Great Formations and the nine Ninth Realm Demon Lords.
Even facing the former Xiahou Yuan.
Moyang Demon Lord was not entirely desperate.
“This place belongs to me, how about it?”
Lin Yuan glanced around, sensing the Heavenly Earth Vital Energy filling the air, and spoke.
“My lord, you must be jesting?”
Moyang Demon Lord’s face stiffened.
After twenty years of hardship and effort, he had built this Underground Palace; how could he possibly hand it over so easily?
Not to mention, with nine Sky-ranked Demon Formations inside, Moyang Demon Lord believed himself to be fearless against anyone.
“If you won’t give it, I will come and take it.”
Lin Yuan stepped forward directly and entered the palace.
“Attack.”
Moyang Demon Lord tensed up and without a second word, communicated fully with the Sky-ranked Demon Formation.
The other eight Demon Lords exchanged looks; at this moment, they all stood on the same side, none wanting to be ruled by Xiahou Yuan again.
Boom.
From every direction.
All around.
The air suddenly condensed.
An invisible pressure emerged
Hum!!
Streams of Demonic Qi emanated from all around the great hall,
One birthed two, two birthed four, four birthed eight…
In an instant.
An endless intertwining of Demonic Qi followed a specific trajectory, forming a Killing Formation.
However.
Just as Lin Yuan’s right foot stepped on the floor of the inner hall.
The previously emerging infinite Demonic Qi suddenly solidified.
Already formed and comprised entirely of Demonic Qi, the Killing Formation began to boil as if commanded, all revolving under Lin Yuan’s feet, a force far surpassing the previous burst forth explosively.
The demonic power was vast.
Lin Yuan walked into the inner hall, and the Ninth Realm peak Moyang Demon Lord had already knelt down, unable to rise,
Even without knowing why, facing Lin Yuan at this moment, he couldn’t help but continuously bow his head!
Lin Yuan walked past one Demon Lord after another, all prostrated and trembling,
He ascended the steps, turned around, and sat on the main seat in the great hall.
Leaning slightly, he looked down at the people in the hall who were bowing their heads like pounding garlic.
