Frost spread from the bottom to the top. This extremely familiar scene aroused the psychological trauma of many magic practitioners.
This is how a certain airborne demon lord fought his way down from the first level to the bottom level, forcing all the demon cultivators to acknowledge his position as the demon lord.
The thirteen layers of the demon world were not originally divided according to strength, nor did the deeper you went, the stronger you got. Instead, there were several famous lords on each layer, and they would take whatever territory they could. However, after that bloodbath, the demon cultivators who were still alive and had deep memories began to migrate from the outermost layer to the inner layer, fearing that they would encounter a similar situation again.
The demon world had been in turmoil for a long time, and only after rounds of fighting did it stabilize to its current structure - the Demon Lord's Palace was on the thirteenth floor, and the remaining demon cultivators became increasingly weaker from the inside to the outside, and only some new demon cultivators were left living on the first floor, which was once the outermost floor.
But now…
The demon cultivators who have won the battles over the years and obtained the qualification to live in the inner layer now just want to curse.
From "That guy is not dead after all!", "He's back again!" to "Why is he coming in the opposite direction this time?", "Why are they in trouble again?!", however, the demon cultivators' sense of danger is definitely much higher than the average level. No matter whether they are complaining, shocked or dissatisfied, before all kinds of emotions come, their actions have already made decisions for themselves.
——Leave this dangerous place!!
The sweeping frost ignored all obstacles, whether it was attack, defense, or even the barriers between layers. It turned everything into ice and snow in an instant. The spreading power froze most of the demon world, and it spread to the fifth or sixth layer before finally stopping. The demon cultivator who escaped the disaster with his speed finally breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he have time to look back and observe the situation behind him.
Even though he had expected this, he still couldn't control his fear after seeing the world made entirely of ice and snow.
It was an almost identical expression to the demon cultivator at the back who had turned into an ice sculpture because he had no time to escape.
——This is an overwhelming suppression that is far more terrifying than before.
What will happen to that person? What will happen when he comes back?! What will he do?!
All kinds of emotions surged in my mind, but I couldn't find a suitable outlet to vent them.
Will he be angry? Because a new Demon Lord has appeared in the Demon Realm; or will he be unhappy? Because they don't respect the new Demon Lord he appointed enough; what is he doing this time? Is he planning to take on the role of Demon Lord again, or to wipe out the Demon Realm?
…
…………
Various contradictory thoughts collided and finally ended up with one question.
——Can he, they, these existing demon cultivators... survive? !
Chu Lu had no idea to what extent he had been demonized in the eyes of the demon cultivators in the Demon Realm. He thought that although his performance as the temporary Demon Lord could not be described as "diligent", he could definitely be described as "neither meritorious nor demerited".
Moreover, compared with the previous Demon Lords - here specifically referring to the successive Heavenly Demons who each had their own perverted methods - Chu Lu felt that he could even be said to be "soft-hearted".
At least he wouldn't slaughter all the demon generals under his command just because he said "I'm in a bad mood".
It should be said that except for the time when he just arrived in the demon world and needed to establish his authority, he hardly ever took action.
And even that time, strictly speaking, Chu Lu was just "defending and counterattacking". Unless the opponent took the initiative to provoke him, he would not take the initiative to attack. Even later, as long as the opponent begged for mercy, Chu Lu didn't even care how sincere it was, and considerately left them with their last breath.
These are simply behaviors that would be considered as "showing mercy" even in the world of cultivation.
Therefore, Chu Lu could not understand why his subordinates, who were constantly changing, were trembling in front of him, as if they would be killed by him in the next second.
To be honest, among all the psychopaths in the demon world back then, he was the most reasonable and rational one.
…
However, those things that have passed can be left aside for now, but this time the freezing was really an accident.
The existence of the demon can only be sealed, not killed.
In the demon world, the Heavenly Demon naturally occupies the main position, and it is almost impossible to seal him.
——First, we must take the demon out of the demon world.
Then this idea will arise naturally.
However, although the opponent is a madman, he is not a fool. He will obviously not voluntarily give up his advantage and deliberately change the battlefield. In this case, let's completely separate this space from the demon world, just like Jiang Yixi planned to do before.
It’s just that Jiang Yixi relies on the power of the formation, while Chu Lu relies purely on magic.
However, Chu Lu did not expect the current consequences.
Just as Chu Lu had judged the condition of this body before, this kind of behavior of forcibly accelerating cultivation has many hidden dangers. Although the cultivation is similar, the degree of strength is far less than when he was young. It will be disadvantageous to him if he delays for too long. Therefore, he chose to release all his strength at once when he found an opportunity and released such a big move.
Chu Lu didn't know how Jian Yuan replenished his cultivation, but according to the principle of equal exchange of energy, his cultivation of this body was obviously not for nothing. Chu Lu originally guessed that Jian Yuan was exploiting his subordinate demon cultivators, but now it seems... this power with abnormal control over the demon world...
If he hadn't realized that something was wrong and stopped immediately, this would have almost frozen the entire demon world.
Chu Lu: "..."
He stared at the completely frozen demon, not knowing what expression to put on his face.
Should I say that we should not speculate on the thinking of a madman?
...The first thing to do after breaking the seal is to lend power to the enemy so that the enemy can seal him back.
Chu Lu thought about it for a quarter of an hour, but couldn't find a reason that could convince himself.
He stared at the face frozen in an excited and ferocious expression in the ice for a long time, then slowly moved away.
...I'm sorry he can't understand.
But it is impossible to just leave it alone.
Not to mention for Xiang Wanya or the demon world, just for his own stable life in this world, Chu Lu had to seal this demon away.
But it is impossible to seal it in the demon world...
Although I escaped once, after careful consideration, I still think Wuwang Sea is the safest.
Jiang Yixi and others also expressed their support for this.
…
…………
The owner of the frost left, and the originally solidified ice layer slowly melted away.
The demon cultivator gradually regained consciousness from the ice sculpture state:?
They were still at a loss for a moment, but the receding trail of ice and snow behind them evoked the horrible memories just now.
At first, only three or two people knelt on the ground, but as the ice faded, more and more demon cultivators woke up and bowed down. They bowed deeply towards the center of the ice, towards the source of this power.
"Welcome back, His Majesty the Demon Lord."
Their expressions were different, but there was something consistent deep in their eyes.
There was a strange fanaticism in the fear.
He is back.
——That person is back.
(To the True Demon Lord Wan Ya:???)
Chu Lu didn’t know anything about the demon world yet, as he was already in the Wuwang Sea.
As for sealing, practice makes perfect. Although there are fewer people present than before, Jiang Yixi, Xie Jing, and even Xiang Wanya now, their cultivation is enough to fill the gap in numbers.
Having learned from the lesson of the last time the seal was destroyed by outsiders, Xie Jing directly left a circle of sword intent around the seal, and it was almost as if he had written "Trespassers will die" clearly on the ground.
…
But some things have been resolved, and some things remain to be dealt with.
After the seal was completed, the group of five fell into an awkward and suffocating silence. No one wanted to speak for a while, and the other four people's eyes all fell on Chu Lu as if in unison.
Jiang Yixi: [Now that the matter has been resolved, it’s time to settle the accounts.]
Xie Jing: [Brother, return to the sect.]
Xiang Wanya: [Master…]
Finally, Lou Kongyu looked at him with a pleading look that said "Senior, what should I do?"
Chu Lu: "..."
“…………”
System: [Oh wow, host——]
Chu Lu had a feeling that the system wouldn't say anything good, so he warned it "Shut up" and then blocked it.
system:? ? ? !
This is the first day of its reunion with the host after a long separation, no, it hasn't even been half a day... Is the host tired of it so quickly? Surely this accident has made the host distrust its abilities, so is it planning to change the system?
——No! It won’t agree!!
The system howled in the sea of consciousness, but fortunately Chu Lu, who had opened the shield earlier, successfully escaped the poison of this wave of dramatic behavior.
After Chu Lu came to this world, he planned to wait for his soul to slowly dissipate and then automatically leave. At that time, he would only need to say goodbye to Lou Kongyu. He never expected the current situation - not only did he have an extra body, but he also had to face so many old friends.
Chu Lu looked around and decided to start with the easiest one to solve.
So, he first gave Lou Kongyu a comforting look, signaling him to stay calm.
The young man was indeed comforted by this action. He visibly breathed a sigh of relief and stood obediently behind Chu Lu.
Xiang Wanya's expression darkened. He glanced at the sword on the boy's back, then looked at the two people's current positions, and pursed his lips even tighter.
Jiang Yixi glanced and said nothing.
That's why he doesn't want to accept disciples. Just look at Ling Hua's two disciples now and you will know: it takes a lot of effort...
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but glance at Lou Kongyu again.
——New apprentice?
Lou Kongyu, who was particularly wary of Jiang Yixi because of the previous incident, immediately noticed this glance and couldn't help but move closer to Chu Lu.
Jiang Yixi subconsciously glanced at Xiang Wanya and found that the other person's face had become darker.
Jiang Yixi: “…”
Okay, we have to fight before we even get started.
He involuntarily recalled the situation when he had just accepted Xiang Wanya as his disciple. Ling Hua himself felt that the two disciples were very respectful to each other... no, it should be said that the two little bastards were very respectful to each other in front of Ling Hua.
Chu Lu, who was in the center of the Shura Field, did not take the instantaneous eyebrow lawsuit to heart. He turned to look at Xie Jing and explained: "I am afraid it is not easy for me to return to the sect with my current identity."
Xie Jing frowned and blurted out a single word, "No."
As he spoke, his hand was already on the hilt of the sword.
Chu Lu, who knew his junior brother very well, automatically translated this word in his mind: There is nothing wrong with going back. If anyone doesn't want my senior brother to go back, please ask the sword in my hand first.
However, judging from his expression, it seemed more like he had heard Chu Lu's polite refusal just now and decided to forcibly bring the person back to the sect.
Therefore, Lou Kongyu held his breath nervously, and Xiang Wanya finally moved away from the young man carrying Shuanghua on his back and looked at his uncle warily.
Jiang Yixi, who saw through everything, said: "..."
He wanted to hold his forehead again.
Even this junior fellow apprentice is a worry.
——So this is not the disciple’s problem at all, it’s Linghua’s own problem.
