Chapter 1252 - 1252: The Long-Missing Ally

This man was dressed in a purple-black python robe, with a tall stature and an imposing aura like a mountain standing firm.

His slightly refined face did not have the usual ferocity and wickedness of a typical Demon Cultivator.

However, just a single glance from him could make those with low cultivation feel an overwhelming fear and suffocation, as if they were plunged into a boundless deep sea surrounded by dark clouds and black waves.

He did not release any Immortal Power or Demon Qi, nor did he use the pressure of his Divine Soul.

Simply by standing there with his hands behind his back, he was enough to command the whole scene.

Thousands of Bloodthirsty Demon Cultivators retreated in terror, while six Daoist Venerables showed expressions of awe and respectfully cupped their fists towards him.

Qi Wu Daoist Venerable and Qian Yan Daoist Venerable on this side were even more terrified.

Because this newcomer was a Daoist Saint!

An incredibly strong presence on par with the Celestial Palace Divine Monarch!

Seeing this person, how could they not be shocked?

If those six Daoist Venerables earlier were sealing off their escape route, lowering their success rate of breaking through from ten thousand to single digits...

Then now, with the appearance of this Daoist Saint, that success rate had dropped from single digits to negative.

They were well aware that their lives now completely depended on this person's mood.

Fan Lei Daoist Venerable and Yan Yi were secretly lamenting as well.

The situation in front of them was truly a desperate situation.

Fan Lei Daoist Venerable had already placed his hand on the Storage Ring and quietly pulled out... a cigarette.

He could only place his hope on this item now.

As he touched the cigarette, his uneasy heart gradually calmed down.

The last time Jiang Cheng used this item, it even absorbed the Power of the Celestial Dao from a Thunder Tribulation, so using it now to block the attack of a Daoist Saint should be no problem.

In the Celestial Palace, there was no danger, and this 'life-saving tool' had no use.

Facing this desperate situation now, it was time to bring out the final trump card!

Unlike him, Jiang Cheng and the Three-Eyed Tiger nearly spat out a mouthful of water upon seeing the newly arrived Daoist Saint.

This turned out to be an old acquaintance!

And one who had left a deep impression on Brother Cheng—Void Abyss Demon Saint!

Years ago, after ascending from the Lower Realm Ten Thousand Realms to the Immortal Realm, Void Abyss Demon Saint, being the leader of the Demon Realm, not only sat inside the palace at meetings but also in the closest position to Brother Cheng.

He was considered a figure of the highest level.

Later, when Brother Cheng reappeared and went to the Upper Immortal Realm, he met those old acquaintances who ascended alongside him.

Such as Gui Cang, Ling Xing, Golden Dragon King, Qingyun, Xiao Kun, and others...

But only Void Abyss Demon Saint had disappeared, with no news since.

In those years, Xiao Kun, Shali, and other experts from the Demon Realm had searched for him everywhere.

But in the whole Upper Immortal Realm, no one seemed to have heard of Void Abyss.

Given his status during the Lower Realm Ten Thousand Realms, it was impossible for him to disappear quietly.

Eventually, everyone could only speculate that he encountered a Quasi-Emperor or even a Demon Emperor after ascending to the Upper Immortal Realm and unfortunately fell.

Now, seeing him again, Brother Cheng felt quite gratified.

Seeing him now as a Daoist Saint, the Three-Eyed Tiger, while jealous, was also extremely excited.

He was about to greet him when Brother Cheng stopped him.

He gave Void Abyss a look, and the latter immediately nodded in understanding.

Afterwards, Void Abyss glanced around the scene.

He calmly asked, "What happened?"

The six Demon Cultivator Daoist Venerables immediately stepped forward.

"To report to Void Abyss Daoist Saint, that Tiger Demon barged into our territory without permission and wantonly slaughtered our disciples. It's an unforgivable crime, infuriating both Heaven and people…"

Void Abyss impatiently waved his robe sleeve.

"Enough. Killing people in this Blood Demon Dao is a normal rule. Don't put on airs with me!"

At his words, the six Daoist Venerables could only chuckle sheepishly.

"The Daoist Saint is right in his admonition."

Indeed, in Blood Demon Dao, killing was routine.

When one's people get killed, one avenges; if unable to, one endures for now.

This is the survival law here.

As long as one is strong enough here, they can kill whomever they want.

Giving someone a charge before killing would be ridiculed instead.

One of the Daoist Venerables chuckled and said, "That Tiger Demon killed our people, so now we want to kill him."

Even though his disciples were killed, he didn't seem particularly angry or sad.

There's no way around it; this too is a fine tradition in Blood Demon Dao.

All are extreme Demon Cultivators living on the edge, thinking about stabbing each other in the back daily. Emotions like paternal kindness, filial piety, master-disciple affection don't exist here.

Another Daoist Venerable glanced at Brother Cheng, Fan Lei, Qi Wu, and others, adding, "And his accomplices."

"How about inviting the Daoist Saint to help us divide the targets?"

"Otherwise, if we can't agree on who gets which of these fat lambs' heads, our factions would argue endlessly."

Their blatant discussion of splitting heads only made Brother Cheng and the Three-Eyed Tiger treat it as a joke.

Meanwhile, Fan Lei and Yan Yi could only express their anger without speaking.

Especially Yan Yi, who was now considering how to write her will, believing that coming to the Land of Dao Extinction was truly unwise.

She hadn't yet become the queen of the Evil Immortal Realm, yet now she faced premature death.

Qi Wu and Qian Yan Daoist Venerable quickly stepped forward, bowing and pleading with Void Abyss Daoist Saint.

"Senior, we two come from the Celestial Palace and are not with them!"

"Yes, we were sent specifically to escort a master from the Celestial Pill Department to attend an Alchemy Dao exchange conference, and we're guests of your Land of Dao Extinction."

"We accidentally got swept here…"

"If we are killed, the Celestial Pill Department will certainly not let it go, affecting the attitude of the entire Pill Realm…"

The two repeated their previous reasons, once again selling out their teammates.

In their view, these words seemed flawless.

Giving face to the other party without losing their dignity.

Though begging for mercy, it maintained dignity, implying serious consequences if they were killed.

Perfectly done.

Unfortunately, reality often differs a little from expectation.

These Demon Cultivator Daoist Venerables weren't much swayed; they wanted the experience of Daoist Venerables.

"Daoist Saint, I don't think we need to keep them."

"So what if it's the Celestial Palace? I don't believe killing two escorts will make the Alchemy Dao isolate our Blood Demon Dao!"

"Exactly, when have we ever been afraid?"

"Just kill them!"

Their calling for bloodshed and killing made Qi Wu and Qian Yan Venerables turn pale, exclaiming that things were not good.

Their words were already so on point; anyone with sense should consider the consequences of killing them!

"Senior, we…"

Their hearts were filled with urgency, words of plea about to spill out.

Void Abyss Daoist Saint slightly raised his hand, signaling them to not be hasty.

Then, this leader of the scene also admonished the previously shouting and yelling Demon Cultivators.

"Other's visitors from afar are guests. Why go immediately wanting to put people to death?"

"Since they come from the Celestial Palace, let's not use the relentless rules of the Blood Demon Dao. Instead, thoroughly clarify things before deciding how to deal with it."

His words almost moved Qi Wu and Qian Yan Daoist Venerables to tears.

There actually existed such a reasonable person in Blood Demon Dao, it was heartwarming!
