"My lord, our battle is not yet over, why are you running away like a coward? If word gets out, the world will laugh at you." The Demon Lord appeared in the distance, approaching quickly as he spoke provocatively.
"Damn it!" The Lord of Slaughter was furious upon hearing this and was about to step forward to fight. In his half a lifetime of dominance, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Salame and Moghad, who were standing nearby, quickly pulled him back: "Father (Lord), please don't fall for their provocation. As long as we're alive, we can always fight another day."
The Lord of Slaughter took a deep breath: "Very well, you have gone through so many difficulties to find me, how can I let you sacrifice yourselves in vain?"
He then waved to Zuan and the Holy Maiden: "Hurry up and enter this world, it'll be shut down soon."
After saying that, he grabbed his daughter with one hand and Moghad by the other and rushed into the portal of light.
Zaun grabbed the saintess's hand: "Hold me tight."
The saintess looked puzzled, but still blushed slightly and hugged him, thinking to herself that Ah Zu was really something, being so affectionate in public.
As the two rushed into the gate of light, the giant energy ball unleashed by the Demon Lord arrived, blasting the entire pool into a spray of water. Unfortunately, the gate of light had already completely disappeared.
The Shadow Demon King and his subordinates had gradually arrived, and their expressions turned grim upon seeing the scene before them.
"My lord, what should we do now?"
They were all filled with regret. They had laid a trap, but the Lord of Slaughter had managed to escape.
If the other party recovers from their injuries and returns, they will be in danger. After all, everyone has a deep impression of the Lord of Slaughter's ferocity and brutality over the years.
Only the war priest secretly rejoiced, for he had obtained a drop of the legendary River of Oblivion, a very significant gain.
The Demon Lord glanced at the demons, guessing their thoughts, and said in a deep voice, "What's the panic? First, surround the imperial tomb area, and then take advantage of this time to completely wipe out the old man's loyal followers. Even if he comes out from here in the future, what is there to fear if he is a commander without troops?"
"But that's the Heavenly Court! What if that old guy activates the legendary power of his bloodline inside? We probably wouldn't be enough to defeat him even if we all joined forces." The Shadow Demon of Fear swallowed hard, feeling a sense of dread within himself.
The other companions shared the same concerns. After all, the Heavenly Court was the most mysterious legend in the entire demon world, and almost every demon longed for it. Unfortunately, they had missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Don't worry, strength isn't so easy to improve. Don't worry, everything is under my control." The Demon Lord had a cold smile on his face.
The other demons looked at each other in bewilderment. At first, they thought that this was just the Demon Lord's words of comfort, but judging from his expression, he seemed to be really confident. What trump card did he have that we didn't know about?
...
Meanwhile, just as Zuan led the Holy Maiden through the portal of light, the portal vanished rapidly, and the roar of the Demon Lord could be faintly heard coming from behind it.
The saintess had just released Zuan's waist when she suddenly realized that she was surrounded by water. Then, as if she had nowhere to hold on, she kept falling downwards.
She was utterly horrified; she had never felt so helpless in her entire life.
Fortunately, a warm hand quickly grabbed her, and then she noticed the water around her parting to the sides, leaving a space like a bubble.
Zuan smiled and said, "The reason I asked you to hold my hand just now is because the water here is a bit strange."
He vividly remembered that the other side of the pool connected to the legendary Weak Water, a water so deep that not even a feather could be contained by it.
Fortunately, the powerful Demon Emperor was there, and he, Yan Xuehen, Yun Jianyue, and Yu Yanluo did not drown here.
Recalling the scene, a slight smile crept onto his lips. He had been away for far too long and longed to go back and reunite with them…
Just then, he suddenly noticed something was wrong. He looked down and saw that the saintess was pale and trembling violently.
"What's wrong?" Zu'an asked with concern.
"I'm a little afraid of water," the saintess forced a smile.
Zuan pulled her into his arms, patting her shoulder as he comforted her, "Don't worry, I now have the ability to control water, so I won't let this water get near you."
The saintess hummed in agreement and buried her head in his chest. Whether it was his words or the warmth of his embrace that had an effect, the trembling in her body finally subsided slightly.
Zuan didn't dare to delay at all and quickly flew upwards with her.
He used to be helpless in the Weak Water, but now that his strength has increased, and with the water control ability gained from the fusion of the Sea God's Crown and the Blue Duck, the Weak Water is naturally no problem for him.
When he leaped out of the Weak Water and onto the shore, he was taken aback. Why couldn't he see the Lord of Slaughter and the others?
He searched the shore for a while but found nothing. His gaze then fell back on the Weak Water. Had they sunk to the bottom of the Weak Water?
He dismissed the thought as soon as it arose. With the power of the Lord of Slaughter, even if he was seriously injured, he shouldn't be trapped by this Weak Water.
Moreover, Moghad and Salami were there to help.
"Perhaps after passing through that gate, we were teleported to different places." The saintess's complexion returned to normal. She sat on a boulder on the shore. The cold wind blew, causing her dress to flutter and her beautiful hair to fall loosely across her face, making her look even more pitiful.
Zuan is now well-versed in the mysteries of spatial transformation and knows that what she said makes some sense. After all, they did not enter together, so it is normal for them to be randomly teleported to different places.
Last time, when we came in with the Demon Emperor, we were all gathered together by his hidden universe, which is why we were able to be teleported to the same location.
