Not only did he not feign illness for more than a few days, he also went to the demon race's territory to cause trouble.

Of course, the reason so many demon lords were able to come out was probably because Wen Ruyan secretly manipulated them by having a celestial backer.

In fact, Wen Ruyan should have already realized that she can no longer contact the Wen family in the upper realm, but she can still use the Wen family's remaining influence in the cultivation world to make empty promises to these Mahayana Supremes who hope to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Lin Jingting, that brat, needs to be taught a lesson!

Chu Nian continued to remain hidden in the shadows, observing the situation for the time being.

It seems these demon lords have been besieging the Nebula Sect for quite some time. The Nebula Sect held out for a while.

Seeing that the Nebula Sect's mountain gate remained tightly closed, and that the protective array around the mountain ensured that the demon lords could not truly breach the gate, and that the sect refused to hand over Lin Jingting, the demon lord began to plot evil deeds.

They began sending their men to conduct a large-scale manhunt for Nebula Sect disciples outside the sect.

Seeing this, the Nebula Sect finally couldn't hold out any longer. Yang Zhen had used the same tactic to force the Hua family to hand over Hua Yinghai. Now, they were being forced into the same situation, handing over Lin Jingting.

How could Lin Zhao and Li Jueyin bear to see their son fall into the hands of these demon lords? They immediately brought Lin Jingting to the entrance of the Nebula Sect.

Seeing the look of despair on their faces, Lin Jingting finally showed remorse and said, "Father, Mother, just hand me over to these demons. Don't worry about me. I caused this trouble myself; it has nothing to do with you. You should go back to the mountain gate quickly."

Normally, Lin Zhao and Li Jueyin would never have abandoned their son just because he said that. But today, for some reason, they were acting as if they would rather die than abandon their son. But after Lin Jingting finished speaking, Li Jueyin said coldly, "In that case, you can go!" With that, she threw Lin Jingting into a group of demon lords.

Li Jueyin and Lin Zhao returned to the mountain gate with resolute expressions.

Lin Jingting stared in disbelief at Li Jueyin and Lin Zhao, who had disappeared behind the Xingyun Sect's mountain gate. He couldn't shake off his stunned expression for a long time: Even if I told you not to worry about me, you didn't have to be so quick to agree, did you? Didn't you even say goodbye?

"Haha, kid, look, even your parents don't want to take care of you anymore."

"Hand over our Demon God Token right now, or you'll be wishing for death."

...

The demons shouted in unison.

The Demon God's Decree? To be honest, Chu Nian had traveled all over the cultivation world and the immortal world, and this was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing: the divine realm was gone!

Lin Jingting said with a stern face, "I have never seen any Demon God Token."

The leader of the demon lords is none other than Tan Bujin, the strongest being in the Demon King's Palace.

Tan Bujin's true form remains unknown to all, seemingly because he has lived for so long. Millions of years have passed, and not only in the realms of demons and immortals, but even within the demon race itself, no one remembers his true form.

It is said that the demons of his generation either ascended to immortality or died of old age and are no longer alive. The oldest demon in the cultivation world today is tens of thousands of years younger than him.

Chu Nian felt that if the Demon God's Token truly existed, it must have been something Tan Bujin obtained before he disappeared from the God Realm. He should have been alive then.

Upon hearing Lin Jingting's reply, the group of demon lords began to berate him again, some even suggesting that Lin Jingting be tortured. Tan Bujin gestured for everyone to be quiet and said, "This is, after all, outside the Xingyun Sect's mountain gate. It's inconvenient for us to be here. Let's take this little thief back to the Demon King's Palace first, and then make a decision."

All the demons agreed with him, since this was ultimately someone else's territory, so they immediately followed him back to the Demon King's Palace.

Chu Nian secretly followed them.

Lin Zhao and Li Jueyin were probably still worried, and seeing them leave with Lin Jingting, they followed far behind the group of demons. Chu Nian sent them a telepathic message, telling them to return to the Xingyun Sect without worry, and only then did they leave.

Lin Jingting initially held onto hope, thinking that his parents wouldn't really abandon him; they were probably just discussing a plan and then bringing everyone to rescue him. But his parents never showed up.

He was carried by Tan Bujin and soon he was taken into the Demon King's Palace.

There is also a powerful protective formation guarding this place. Once they enter, it will be just like how the demon lords couldn't force their way into the Nebula Sect's mountain gate – they simply can't get in.

Lin Jingting finally gave up the idea that her parents would come to rescue her, feeling somewhat disappointed.

However, when he thought about how he had disobeyed his mother and pretended to be sick, and even went on a "travel" to the demon realm, which led to this disaster, he felt that he had no one else to blame for his current situation.

Now that he has fallen into the hands of a group of demon lords with his mere Nascent Soul cultivation, especially with the Demon King's Token that the demon lords keep talking about, he has never even seen a shadow of it and has no idea what it is. He is sure he will not have a good ending.

He felt that the demon lords might interrogate him for a while longer, so he was wondering if he could use this short time to find an opportunity to escape. Unexpectedly, just after Tan Bujin threw him to the ground of the Demon King's Palace, Tan Bujin produced a flashing communication token.

This is a tool used by cultivators to send messages.

Lin Jingting was still wondering if Tan Bujin would temporarily put him aside because of the message from his friend, so that he might have more time. Unexpectedly, Tan Bujin used his demonic sense to communicate with the other end of the communication token for only a few words before putting away the communication token and turning to the demons who had followed him, saying, "That one said to get rid of this brat immediately, lest things get complicated."

Lin Jingting was horrified, but several thoughts still flashed through his mind quickly and calmly: Tan Bujin must obey the other party's order to kill him as soon as he receives the message; however, this message can only be used in the cultivation world, and cannot be used to communicate with the immortal world, so Tan Bujin must obey someone in the cultivation world; but as the strongest king of the demon race, who can make Tan Bujin obey orders so obediently?

As these thoughts crossed his mind, Lin Jingting suddenly thought of someone and began to speculate about his parents' decision to make him pretend to be sick, and how Senior Brother Hua had been pretending to be useless all this time.

He couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Lin Jingting looked at Tan Bujin with a cold face and said, "If you're going to kill me, you should at least let me die knowing why! Can you tell me why she wanted to kill me?"

Tan Bujin asked in surprise, "Do you know who ordered us to attack you?"

Lin Jingting gave a cold laugh and said, "I should have realized it long ago. The only one who could mobilize so many demon lords is her, someone with an exceptionally high status in the cultivation world. But I can't understand why. She is my Senior Brother Hua's Daoist partner, and they have a very good relationship. And even if I am sometimes disrespectful to her, I have never truly offended her..."

Tan Bujin smiled helplessly, "We don't know why she insisted on getting rid of you. You should just become a vengeful ghost after you die and ask her yourself!"
