But not a single word the True Demon Ancestor said was kind.
His words were clearly hostile; if there hadn't been so many people around, he might have attacked Feng Yu'er severely.
Since the disappearance of the Heavenly Demon Sect Master, the Heavenly Demon Sect has fallen into chaos.
Many Mahayana stage elders wielded great power and divided up the entire Heavenly Demon Sect.
At this time, the Heavenly Demon Sect appeared to be a unified entity, but in reality, it had long been torn apart.
Among them, the True Demon Ancestor was the most outrageous. After the Heavenly Demon Sect Master left, he was the first to propose dividing up the Heavenly Demon Sect.
However, two or three Mahayana stage elders were loyal to Feng Yu'er's father and immediately opposed the True Demon Ancestor's proposal, thus preventing him from splitting the Heavenly Demon Sect.
However, in the following ten years or so, these two or three Mahayana-stage elders died unexpectedly one after another.
Anyone with eyes can see that it was the True Demon Ancestor who did it.
But even if they knew, what good would it do? The two late-stage Mahayana cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Sect were so focused on breaking through to the Tribulation Transcending stage that they completely ignored the sect's trivial matters.
The strongest remaining cultivator in the Great Ascension stage of the Heavenly Demon Sect is the True Demon Ancestor, who naturally makes all the decisions within the sect.
In order to better control the sect, the True Demon Ancestor began an extremely cruel and bloody reign.
Anyone who disobeys his orders from the Heavenly Demon Sect will die inexplicably.
Feng Yu'er was forced to leave the Heavenly Demon Sect because of his persecution.
The True Demon Ancestor deliberately let her go because Feng Yu'er often disagreed with his opinions.
As for why he didn't eliminate the threat completely before, it was because he was afraid of Feng Yu'er's father.
He feared that Feng Yu'er's father, Feng Tianxia, would return, and that if he killed Feng Yu'er, he would face severe retribution from Feng Tianxia.
Now, the True Demon Ancestor has received news that fragments of what appears to be a Xuan Tian Ling Bao (mysterious heavenly treasure) frequently used by Feng Tianxia have been discovered at the foot of a cliff in Lingzhou.
The Xuan Tian Ling Bao was shattered, which shows how powerful the enemy Feng Tianxia encountered was.
To confirm Feng Tianxia's death, the True Demon Ancestor went to that cliff.
The cliff bore many traces of battle, from which some blood was drawn.
After testing and comparison, the blood was found to belong to Feng Tianxia, the sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
The True Demon Ancestor was certain that Feng Tianxia was likely already seriously injured.
Even if Feng Tianxia hadn't perished, it would have been impossible for him to recover.
With this certainty in his heart, the True Demon Ancestor became even more ruthless towards those in the Heavenly Demon Sect who opposed him.
The entire Heavenly Demon Sect was almost completely wiped out, leaving only those who escaped from the outside.
The biggest hidden danger is Feng Yu'er, whom the True Demon Ancestor believes must be eliminated.
“Elder Zhenmo, you are just an elder of the sect. My private affairs are none of your business,” Feng Yu’er said coldly.
"What are you saying? My father and I have fought since the Dark Ages. You could say I watched you grow up. Besides, you are the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect. If you do anything bad, you will not only damage your own reputation, but also ruin the reputation of the Heavenly Demon Sect," the True Demon Ancestor said in an unfriendly tone.
“You can say whatever you want to say directly; there’s no need to beat around the bush.”
"As the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect, you will leave with me this time."
"Impossible. Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Once I go back, I'm afraid I'll never be able to leave again."
"You are the Holy Maiden of our sect. How could anyone in the sect possibly harm you? If anyone dares to harm you, they will have to get past me first."
"What's the point of saying all this nonsense? You're the one who's most at odds with me."
"So you mean you're not leaving? That's not up to you. I'm currently in charge of the Heavenly Demon Sect. You are the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and I have the right to manage you."
The True Demon Ancestor reached out to grab Feng Yu'er, intending to forcibly take her away.
Feng Yu'er tried to dodge the outstretched hand, but found that she couldn't move.
The pressure released by the True Demon Ancestor forcibly suppressed Feng Yu'er.
Han Feng directly knocked away the True Demon Ancestor's hand and stood in front of Feng Yu'er to protect her.
"Boy, I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you dare to lay a hand on me? Aren't you afraid I'll grind you to dust?" the True Demon Ancestor threatened through gritted teeth.
"All I know is that in my Yellow Maple Valley, no one can just make a move whenever they want. Now that Feng Yu'er hasn't said she's leaving my sect, no one can force her to leave."
Han Feng now held the Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword, its power of law filling the entire hall.
"This Xuantian Spirit-Slaying Sword truly lives up to its second-place ranking; it is far more powerful than our sect's Xuantian Spiritual Treasure."
"If it has such power in the hands of someone in the late stage of the Fusion Realm, wouldn't it be terrifyingly powerful if it fell into our hands?"
...
A treasure as powerful as the Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword will always arouse greed in people, no matter how many times it is brought out.
"Master, shouldn't we step forward to stop them?" Zhang Kui asked.
"No need. Just keep saying 'wait and see.' You must understand that there are only permanent interests, not permanent friends." Master Xuandao shook his head with a smile.
“I understand what Master means. The True Demon Ancestor and Han Feng, who possesses the Xuan Tian Spirit-Slaying Sword, are of equal strength. No matter who wins, it will be a Pyrrhic victory. In that case, the Xuan Tian Spirit-Slaying Sword will definitely not belong to either of them.”
"It seems I made the right choice in taking you as my disciple; you are indeed a promising talent."
"You flatter me. It's mainly because of Master's excellent teaching that I was able to comprehend it so quickly."
All the Mahayana cultivators present had the same plan: if the two fought to the death, they would all want to be the ones to reap the benefits.
“Fellow Daoists, we can form an alliance, with the other two assisting one of us in obtaining the Xuan Tian Spiritual Treasure,” Leng Hanmei suggested.
That's exactly what I was thinking!
Tianji Daoren and Jin Yeyang nodded in agreement.
The True Demon Ancestor was extremely domineering, but he was by no means stupid.
He also observed the unusual behavior of those around him and understood the principle that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.
But the True Demon Ancestor couldn't swallow this insult, and he didn't want to let Feng Yu'er go either.
“True Demon, don’t be impulsive. If you fight this person now, it will be very disadvantageous for our Heavenly Demon Sect.” The Earth Demon Ancestor patted his shoulder.
"Kid, you're lucky. I hope you'll be just as lucky in the future."
Suppressing his anger, the True Demon Ancestor turned and left the main hall first.
The major sects of Lingzhou present looked disappointed, realizing that their attempt to "fish for the fisherman" was unsuccessful.
Everyone bid farewell to Han Feng and left for Huangfeng Valley one after another, thus calming down the turmoil.
"It was so close, what a pity."
The demonic figure hidden not far from Yellow Maple Valley couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.
The Demon Continent.
"It's such a pity that we fell short at the last minute!"
Ancestor Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
"There's no need to sigh. In the face of enormous profits, infighting is inevitable. We missed this opportunity, but there will definitely be another one next time." The Holy Ancestor didn't seem to care.
“The Ancestor is right. I will continue to have people monitor you, and contact you if anything goes wrong.”
"Can!"
The Holy Ancestor no longer distracted himself and began to continue cultivating his sacred arts.
