"Very good, keep attacking."

Wanzhi looked down, a satisfied expression on his face. He absorbed the power that the endless slaughter brought him.

That's exactly the feeling!

"Fight! Kill them all!"

He laughed heartily, thinking that once the Heavenly Palace was razed to the ground, the next step would be to attack the other side of the coast. Regardless of who lived or died, he would inevitably be the biggest winner.

He used all the cultivators of the entire Aotian Continent to pave a glorious road to the throne for him. Wan Zhi enjoyed the feeling of stepping on corpses and offerings of blood, ascending to the altar step by step.

Just as he was getting excited, a long sword suddenly slashed down at him. The earthenware jar containing his body shattered, revealing his broken and ugly body.

It is True Lord Baiyu!

Even though these martial artists considered him their mortal enemy, he still couldn't bear to watch them be slaughtered indiscriminately. Even though his strength was vastly different from Wan Zhi's, he was willing to risk his life to stop it for the sake of his principles!

Wan Zhi, as a magical artifact, was renowned in the demonic cultivation world. However, when they saw a monster emerge from the jar, the demonic cultivators, seeing its true form for the first time, were shocked.

The laughter abruptly stopped when the porcelain bottle shattered.

He raised his eyelids to look at Bai Yu Zhenjun, his smile gradually becoming sinister. "My respected Demon Prince, do you know what you are doing?"

All those who defied him were the first to die.

The next second, an extremely dense magical power shot towards Bai Yu Zhenjun.

In the blink of an eye, the Demon Elder pulled Bai Yu Zhenjun away from the attack. He grabbed the Demon Prince and made him kneel before Wan Zhi, saying, "Senior, the Demon Prince is young and impetuous and has not yet been tamed. Please spare him. I will find you the best vessel in the Demon Cultivation Realm."

"But I want to grind the Demon Child's bones into powder to make a new container." He pleaded desperately, but Wan Zhi had no intention of letting Bai Yu Zhenjun go.

“Kill him, he’s just a demon child, I can find you countless more, and even make you a demon child.”

Wan Zhi looked at Bai Yu Zhenjun and knew that he was doomed to die here today!

Upon hearing this, the Demon Elder turned pale. He knelt on the ground for a moment, seemingly finding it difficult to make up his mind. "Thank you, senior."

The words had barely left his mouth when, just as Bai Yu Zhenjun thought he was truly going to kill him, the Demon Elder suddenly attacked. His magic spike pierced directly at the unsuspecting Wan Zhi…

The situation changed drastically.

Bai Yu Zhenjun never expected that this Demon Elder would provoke such a powerful enemy for his sake. However, now was not the time to ponder the reasons. He quickly drew his sword and charged forward with the Demon Elder, attacking Wan Zhi.

The Demon Elder looked at the warriors beside him, "What are you all standing there for? Kill this damned thing that's trying to kill all the demon cultivators!"

The bugle calls of the battlefield resounded.

All the demonic cultivators retreated upon hearing the sound.

The Heavenly Palace, which had been on the verge of collapse, was now able to barely survive. Li Tuo looked in the direction of the demonic cultivators, wondering why they had suddenly given up their attack.

"It seems there has been a riot within their ranks."

"They started fighting amongst themselves!"

The nearest martial arts practitioner discovered the cause and excitedly reported what had happened.

An internal strife broke out at the gates of their Heavenly Palace?!

Seeing such a great opportunity, Li Tuo reacted quickly, "Immediately move the injured fellow Daoists to a safe place, and send some people to check on them to see what their condition is!"

There's no need to get close to look.

Within the demonic cultivators, a massive surge of demonic power spread outwards, sweeping across the entire battlefield with overwhelming force. Li Tuo, with his keen eyesight, saw the previously arrogant Demon Elder being sent flying, and his spirits immediately lifted.

Who cares who that person is? The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

Li Tuo, unusually defiant, signaled all the martial artists who could still fight to prepare, "Fellow Daoists, follow me to charge forward, capture the Demon Elder alive, and wipe out the demonic cultivators!"

A loud whooshing sound rang out, and the demonic cultivator was about to be attacked from both sides.

"Hahaha, look at this. This is the martial arts practitioner that the Demon Prince wants to protect."

Wan Zhi laughed arrogantly as he defeated these demonic cultivators. He generally didn't kill people; only battles allowed him to gain enough bloodshed.

Martial arts will not let him down.

Just as he was making his vow, Shang Yanting, who had been in the deep sea, returned. He was holding a fluffy ball of fur in his arms and stood directly in front of Li Tuo.

"Your Majesty, you've finally returned!"

Li Tuo instantly felt his momentum increase, and his eyes blazed with fighting spirit. "Your subordinate has not failed in his mission. There is now a sudden conflict among the demonic cultivators. Please give the order to counterattack!"

"Well done."

Shang Yanting glanced back at the invincible Wan Zhi, "But now there is an even greater threat than the demonic cultivators! Do you see that headless monster? So everyone, listen to my command, martial and demonic forces cease hostilities and kill Wan Zhi first!"

The Demon Elder, who had been half-hearted and prepared for a desperate fight, suddenly heard these words from behind and his spirits were rekindled. He glanced at Bai Yu Zhenjun beside him, then used his demonic power to amplify his voice and shout, "All demon cultivators, heed my command! Ceasefire between the Demon and Martial Arts Sects! Kill Wan Zhi first!"

In an instant, all the power was directed at a single enemy.

Even if the martial arts practitioners didn't understand why, their obedience to Shang Yanting drove them toward the path of omniscience.

Everyone was attacking, yet utterly bewildered. They had no idea how a third enemy had suddenly appeared in what was originally a life-or-death struggle between the demons and warriors, not even the Demon Elder himself.

Among the crowd, only Yan Qing remained calm and clear-headed, as if... he had seen through Yan Qing's plan.

Wan Zhi found the current situation utterly boring; now everyone wanted to kill him, and the grand show was over.

He stared intently at the man who had ruined his plans the moment he appeared, a malicious smile playing on his lips. Looking at the chaotic battle between the demon and martial arts factions around them, he said, "Yan Qing, you've been colluding with the demonic cultivators all along, haven't you?"

I kindly saved a martial arts practitioner from dire straits, yet you intend to use the power of a martial arts practitioner to destroy me.

Foolish martial artists, wake up! Look around you and see who your companions are, and who just killed your friends and family.

After he finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash.

The Demon Lord was greatly alarmed.

Wan Zhi was able to move freely amidst the combined attacks of demons and martial artists; he was truly too strong. It wasn't just his physical strength that was formidable, but also his ability to manipulate people's hearts.

The provocative words caused a crisis of trust among the martial arts practitioners regarding their current leader for the first time.

That monster named Wanzhi is right. If it weren't for him, the Heavenly Palace would have been destroyed.

Dean Yan Qing actually asked them to join forces with the demonic cultivators. Isn't that tantamount to helping the demonic cultivators? He's insane, absolutely insane. What reason could Dean Yan Qing possibly have for doing this?

Even Li Tuo felt the same way. He didn't understand why His Majesty would do such a thing, but this was not the time to ask for reasons.

This was the first time that cultivators from different factions had been so close, and they were all wary of each other.

---Aside---

Goodnight everyone!
