As Ji Xing flew into the immortal mansion.
The others followed suit at the first available moment.
Just as the seventeen of them entered simultaneously.
With a boom.
The stone door of the immortal mansion slammed shut instantly.
The sudden turn of events made the seventeen Nine-Rank Demon Emperors instinctively shudder.
An ominous premonition arose in their hearts.
To push open these two stone doors, they had exerted immense effort.
No one had expected.
That after they entered.
The two doors would close on their own.
"Roar!"
Without any warning.
A dragon's roar echoed in everyone's ears.
Although all seventeen were Nine-Rank Demon Emperors.
They were still startled by the sudden dragon's roar.
"Ao Zhong, why are you here?" Seeing the Nine-Rank Demon Emperor from the small world.
Tu Mie exclaimed in surprise.
"Didn't you escape from the small world?"
"How did you end up here?"
He was merely shocked.
Even if he wasn't Ao Zhong's match in a one-on-one fight.
He had sixteen other Nine-Rank Demon Emperors by his side.
They could easily overwhelm Ao Zhong, a single Nine-Rank Demon Emperor.
"It's not just me, all the demon beasts that were imprisoned and enslaved by you in the small world are here as well." Ao Zhong revealed a wicked smile.
Ping also sneered, "Just a bunch of ants, what kind of storm can they stir up even if they're all here?"
Seventeen Nine-Rank Demon Emperors.
This was the pinnacle of combat power in the Demon Realm.
Even facing billions of demon beasts, they could be annihilated in an instant.
"I seem to sense Chen Nan's aura, he is also in this divine hall."
Ji Xing's voice suddenly rang out.
His eyes held a hint of solemnity.
"That's impossible, Chen Nan clearly escaped, how could he be in this divine hall?"
"Indeed, only we brothers entered when the divine hall opened, Chen Nan should not have appeared in this divine hall."
The others also chimed in.
Ping also calculated with his fingers and exclaimed, "Not good, we've been trapped by Chen Nan!"
"This is not a divine hall."
"This is his spatial spiritual treasure."
As soon as he said this.
Everyone felt as if struck by lightning.
Especially Tu Mie.
His mouth hung wide open.
He seemed to understand why the demon beasts in the small world had disappeared.
"Welcome to my home ground!"
"As expected of a divination prodigy praised by Emperor Cong Zun!"
Chen Nan's voice echoed with a half-smile.
Then.
His figure appeared before their eyes.
He wore a spotless white robe.
Every movement he made exuded an elegant demeanor.
Bai Jie followed beside him like a maid.
However.
She held a large bow in her hand.
And dozens of arrows in a quiver on her back.
"You actually dare to show yourself?"
"Do you think that by trapping us here, you can control our lives?" Tu Mie's eyes were filled with killing intent.
He unleashed a palm strike.
A torrent of demonic energy surged like a dragon.
*Swish!*
Bai Jie drew her bow and loosed an arrow!
The arrow, crafted from Demon Suppressing Stone, pierced through Tu Mie's demonic energy!
Like a streak of light, it shot into Tu Mie's body!
Causing him to let out a hysterical scream.
Blood spurted from his chest!
"Damn it, you actually forged weapons with Demon Suppressing Stone."
Tu Mie was furious.
Although being shot by an arrow wouldn't kill him, it rendered him unable to move.
His entire body felt as if it had been anesthetized.
"If anyone dares to act rashly, I won't hesitate to send them an arrow!" Bai Jie drew her bow, aiming at the sixteen Nine-Rank Demon Emperors.
The sixteen Nine-Rank Demon Emperors turned pale.
Weapons forged from Demon Suppressing Stone were the greatest nemesis of demons.
Tu Mie was a prime example.
As a result, they dared not act rashly.
Ji Xing gritted his teeth, "Chen Nan, who exactly are you?"
"Why did you trap us here?"
"What is your objective?"
"Me?" Chen Nan chuckled, "I am, of course, a person!"
"Hmm."
"If your Demon Realm hadn't attacked the Human Realm."
"I wouldn't have entered the Demon Realm to seal the passage to the Human Realm."
"Alas, I was forced into it, it's truly embarrassing to even mention it."
Ping also frowned, "So, it was Ning who lied, and Gu Jin didn't die from severe injuries?"
For tens of thousands of years, humans and demons had coexisted peacefully.
Until recently when Gu Jin attacked the Human Realm.
Therefore.
He inferred that Gu Jin's death had another story behind it.
"Yes, Gu Jin died at my hands." Chen Nan revealed a faint smile, "However, I can offer you a way out."
"As long as you kneel down and acknowledge me as your master."
"I will spare your lives and let you continue to be Demon Emperors of the Demon Realm."
Although Chen Nan had promised to kill Emperor Cong Zun's eighteen adopted sons to avenge him.
Emperor Cong Zun had found him earlier.
And did not wish for him to do so.
How to put it...
Emperor Cong Zun desperately wanted revenge.
But he knew that if these seventeen adopted sons were killed, the current peace of the Demon Realm would surely be shattered.
At that time.
The Demon Realm would inevitably descend into war.
Endless slaughter.
The common people would suffer heavy casualties and live in misery.
Therefore.
Emperor Cong Zun decisively abandoned the idea of Chen Nan helping him seek revenge.
Because he clearly understood.
As long as these seventeen adopted sons were alive, the Demon Realm would remain peaceful.
It had to be said.
Emperor Cong Zun was a truly respectable person.
For the sake of peace in the Demon Realm, he was willing to let go of his hatred.
"Just you, wanting us to acknowledge you as our master?"
"What are you?" A middle-aged man's eyes gleamed with coldness, and boiling killing intent arose in his heart.
*Swish!*
Bai Jie didn't utter another word.
She shot an arrow from her hand towards the middle-aged man.
But he dodged it.
"Brothers, let's go together, we must kill Chen Nan!" Ji Xing roared, his body transforming into a stream of demonic energy that enveloped the first floor of the immortal mansion.
The others also transformed into demonic energy and charged towards Chen Nan.
Chen Nan looked incredulous, "Have you all overlooked something?"
"This is my immortal mansion."
"On my territory, you still want to kill me?"
"Why are you all so overestimating yourselves?"
"Who gave you the courage to think you could kill me."
Chen Nan stood there quietly.
An invisible energy repelled the demonic energy from all directions, keeping it three meters away.
No matter how the sixteen Nine-Rank Demon Emperors attacked, they could not break Chen Nan's defense.
Even if they used their top-grade demonic artifacts.
They could not affect Chen Nan.
"It's useless, here, I am the absolute ruler."
"Even if you are Nine-Rank Demon Emperors, I can decide your fate." Chen Nan willed it, and a powerful energy surged outward.
*Puff puff puff!*
The sixteen Nine-Rank Demon Emperors spat out blood and were sent flying backward.
At this moment.
They felt their strength being suppressed.
They couldn't even unleash a tenth of their power.
But they were not resigned.
Their eyes turned blood red, and they charged at Chen Nan again.
The torrential demonic energy enveloped the space on the first floor of the immortal mansion, like a dark night.
Visibility was zero.
"Since you are so generous, I can't let down your good intentions." Chen Nan sat cross-legged and unleashed the Blood Demon Great Method, absorbing the demonic energy into his body.
Ji Xing's scalp tingled, and he shrieked, "Damn it, how do you know the Blood Demon Great Method?"
