Although she knew he had infiltrated the ranks of the Immortal Families, even Demon Monarch Bi Hai, who knew him best, had never imagined that a Great Demon could achieve such a high status within an Immortal Sect.
He even had a seat at the table for something as secret as slaying a Demon Monarch.
’Why even be a Demon Monarch at this point? He might as well just be a proper Mountain Master Disciple.’
"An attack from both inside and out?"
Night Ghost Demon Monarch took a deep breath, suddenly seeing a glimmer of hope.
’That Great Demon was among them. If he could find the right moment to land a fatal blow on Qian Yiru, he might not win today, but at least he’d have a chance to survive.’
"Don’t let it show!"
Demon Monarch Bi Hai reacted quickly, averting her gaze.
’So this was Demon Brother Lin’s plan all along.’
"Stay back!"
Lei Shouren shot Lin Shu a dissatisfied glance.
He had said he wouldn’t let the man share in even a sliver of the merit.
With a cold shout, he casually unleashed a wave of Spiritual Power to force Lin Shu back, then accelerated again.
BOOM! BOOM!
They gave the Demon Crowd no chance to react.
In an instant, five figures descended directly upon the mountain peak. A mighty aura erupted, sealing off all escape routes.
"Looking at this desolate Demon Mountain of yours... did your breakthrough fail?"
Lei Shouren had dealt with the two Demon Monarchs for so many years that he could grasp the situation with a single glance.
He strolled out leisurely, surveying the surroundings before his gaze landed on Night Ghost Demon Monarch. He said mockingly, "You dismissed your Group of Demons ahead of time. You didn’t really think they could escape from my grasp, did you?"
"Hmph!"
Faced with this overwhelming power,
The remaining Demon Generals felt a chill in their hearts and instinctively moved closer to the two Demon Monarchs.
The fear on their faces was not faked.
Even if there was an "ally" hidden on the other side, it was still three against five. The odds of victory were minuscule.
"As expected after calling for reinforcements. You’re speaking to me with a lot more backbone than before."
Night Ghost Demon Monarch glanced around at the group and couldn’t help but sigh.
At this point, there was little meaning in trading barbs.
He clenched his fist slightly, and a boundless Demon Power, far surpassing Lei Shouren’s, instantly enveloped the entire area.
"Tsk."
Chen Zihang frowned slightly and subconsciously took a step back.
He was the Martial Arts Academy Vice Mountain and rarely entered a Demon Mountain. Even though he had long heard of Night Ghost Demon Monarch’s fearsome reputation, he never expected the demon to be this powerful.
’If a real fight broke out, they would probably have to pay a price.’
"Hah."
In the face of Night Ghost’s mockery, Lei Shouren let out a derisive laugh.
He glanced at Demon Monarch Bi Hai. Although he didn’t know where this beast had gotten wind of their plans or why she was here, he wasn’t too concerned.
In the past, he probably would have found this quite troublesome.
But with Qian Yiru and Chen Zihang present now, this cold beauty serving herself up on a platter was just another opportunity to rack up more glorious achievements.
As for the apprehension shown by this Immortal Descendant of the Chen Family, it was only because he didn’t yet understand the methods of the Demon-slaying Bureau.
"Suanni Seal!"
The Demon-slaying General suddenly raised his palm, and a small, cyan seal shot into the air.
This item was crafted by the Qi Family, modeled after the Yu Family’s Mountain God Seal. There were nine of them in total, each named after one of the Dragon’s sons.
Against Cultivators, it wasn’t even comparable to a High-grade Magical Treasure. But against Demons, the seal’s power could rival that of a Spirit Treasure.
ROAR!
The Suanni Seal swelled in the wind. Accompanied by a deep, muffled roar, a dense radiance poured down.
"What is that thing?"
The bodies of the Group of Demons present all began to tremble, their eyes filled with utter disbelief.
Ling Liu and the other Demon Generals felt their Demon Power on the verge of collapsing and finally understood why their lord had told them to leave early.
Under this Treasure Seal, they didn’t even have the right to fight a Vice General of the Demon-slaying Bureau.
Previously, because of Lin Shu’s presence, the Demon Crowd had held onto a sliver of hope. But in the face of such a profound technique revealed by the Demon-slaying Bureau, that hope was instantly extinguished.
"After all these years, this is still the only trick you know."
Demon Monarch Bi Hai’s face turned pale. Her aura was suppressed by nearly fifty percent, and in an instant, the Mid-stage Golden Core Great Demon was almost reduced to the Early-stage Golden Core level.
Night Ghost Demon Monarch’s Cultivation was much stronger, but he was under the same suppression. The vast Demon Power he had just released was instantly crushed.
The two forcefully mobilized their Demon Power, fierce looks appearing on their faces.
’They didn’t need to win. They just needed to risk their lives to create an opportunity for that young Demon Monarch!’
"Against you wicked beasts, a trick doesn’t have to be new. It just has to work."
"I will control the seal. You two, follow Senior Brother Qian and Senior Chen. Don’t let a single Demon escape."
Lei Shouren’s voice was calm as he quickly made the arrangements.
Seeing the two Demon Monarchs’ auras in disarray, Chen Zihang’s expression also relaxed considerably.
’So there was a trick like this.’
’Even if Qian Yiru’s strength was inflated, as long as he had Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivation, there was no way any accident could happen today.’
Thinking this, he turned and said politely, "Yiru, after you?"
Although part of it was to protect his own life, the main reason was that the Chen Family’s status in Anren Prefecture had already peaked. No matter how much merit he earned, a Scattered Immortal Clan could never usurp the position of the Half-Life Immortal Sect.
He might as well grant an easy favor.
Before the words had even left his mouth, Chen Zihang’s eyelid suddenly twitched.
Lei Shouren glanced over, his mind also reeling in shock.
Under the tyrannical Suanni Seal, Qian Yiru’s expression was calm, but his face was drained of all color.
His vast aura had actually been suppressed to a level barely at the Mid-stage Golden Core.
"Senior Brother Qian, what’s going on?!"
