In the heart of the demon clan, outside the Emperor's Palace, in front of the Zhen clan's temple...

Countless powerful demons descended here, and the blending of their auras filled the surrounding air with a huge sense of oppression.

In this tense atmosphere, the other demons who came to watch also had solemn expressions, and they had the illusion that they were about to burn.

"Be quiet!"

Suddenly, Gui Tian said in a deep voice, and immediately there was a surge of air, causing everyone to shut up.

At this moment, the Emperor stood beside him, and the other royal guards stood at the closest position, forming an arc, encircling the two of them in the center.

One level further out are the strongest people under the guard team, who are also the candidates for the Nine Heavenly Kings, and are basically at the level of intermediate saints.

Further back were the powerful warriors of the demon clan, ranging from low-level saints to those in the reincarnation realm. They all carried an alarming murderous aura and were obviously all elites.

As for the outermost circle, it is where the common people and powerful independent cultivators of the demon clan gather. Even so, those who can come here to watch the ceremony must have a high status in the corresponding classes.

"Great, with so many people here to witness it, I will definitely be able to take the final step today and reach the pinnacle of the demon clan!"

Guitian looked around, his heart about to explode with excitement.

He had made all the preparations and had already arranged his men in the temple.

When the time is right, he will order it to emit auspicious light, and combined with his own strong tactics, he will surely make the people present change their beliefs and worship him as their master.

Among the demons, whoever can occupy the position of faith is the true emperor.

With his ninth-level sainthood, coupled with the power of faith that is enough to turn a waste into a pinnacle saint, he might be able to break the limit and help him enter the realm of the Saint King in one fell swoop!

"Everyone, listen to me!"

He spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

"Today our race suffered an unprecedented heavy loss. Six members of the Guards, who represent supreme glory, died and one was seriously injured at the hands of the human race. This is undoubtedly a humiliating defeat!"

"The root cause of all this is that His Majesty the Emperor failed in command. His Majesty feels guilty about this from the bottom of his heart, so he wants to express his regret in front of our deceased ancestors and heroes. Please listen carefully!"

As soon as these words were spoken, under the angry eyes of the demons, the emperor knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times towards the temple in front of him, and then began to repent.

During the entire process, the emperor's lips did not move. It was Guitian who spoke in ventriloquy, listing the emperor's sins in detail, including seven major sins and thirty-one minor sins. It was so numerous that it was hard to list them all and it was infuriating!

"I! I feel deeply guilty and guilty. I sincerely repent and pray that my ancestors will show mercy, guide me and forgive my sins!"

After he finished speaking, Guitian showed an expression that showed he had everything under control.

When he swept his mental power back, he found that veins bulged on the faces of many demons, and they wished they could kill the emperor alive. This was their traditional skill of defeating the powerful with the weak.

They are just like this. Whoever can bring them victory is their leader, and if there is a failure, he is their sinner.

It is obvious without even looking that the Emperor's faith has been shaken, and he has begun to fall from the peak of sainthood to the middle stage of the ninth level of sainthood.

"The time has come. Now we should strike while the iron is hot!"

He said this in his heart, and then clapped his hands lightly. This was the secret signal agreed upon beforehand, and soon the people in the temple would signal an auspicious sign.

As long as an auspicious sign appears, it means that the ancestors have approved the confession just made.

The key message revealed is not that the ancestors forgave the emperor, but that the ancestors believed that the emperor was indeed guilty, because only if one is guilty can be forgiven.

In this way, the emperor's incompetent image will be deeply rooted in people's hearts, making it easier for him to take the next step.

After all, everyone is pragmatic. They may not care about the attitudes of their ancestors, but they will definitely care about the victory or defeat in front of them!

"Look! The temple is responding!"

The agent arranged by Guitian suddenly shouted, and everyone looked together. As expected, the town’s temple was suddenly lit up with colorful lights, which was very beautiful and fascinating.

"The ancestors have reacted. It seems that they also think the emperor is guilty!"

"Yes, the emperor must make changes. Only in this way can he gain everyone's forgiveness."

Someone started the pace and soon it infected the people around him.

"The opportunity has arrived!"

Zhou Tong sneered and activated the launch device without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, the Holy Forbidden Device displayed a terrifying speed and almost got rid of Zhou Tong's mental tracking and rushed directly into the passage!

"Five, four, three, two, one!"

Zhou Tong counted down, his eyes full of anticipation!

"burst!"

As the last word fell, huge flames suddenly erupted from the Hell Temple. Its terrifying power was like a sea of ​​fire from purgatory descending, enveloping the area for dozens of miles and making the temperature here reach an unprecedented peak!

For a moment, all the demons that approached suffered. Those above the level of Half-Saint were still okay, but those in the Samsara Realm could hardly bear it. Those below that level were even worse. Those without special means were directly turned into familiar faces and were evenly stuck to the ground.

After a while, the flames died down and the survivors looked terrified. They stared at the temple in front of them and couldn't help trembling.

"This... This is clearly because the ancestors are angry. Does this mean that they do not acknowledge the emperor's sins? Could it be that some villain is causing trouble?"

After hearing this, Guitian was immediately annoyed. He did not bother to find out the truth and pointed at the emperor and said, "Look at your useless appearance. You have made our ancestors furious!"
