Gong Lengxue breathed a long sigh of relief.
The demons looked at each other, all of them seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.
"It was that human? How did he manage to come out alive?"
"This is a war of a hundred races belonging to our demon race! How come he wasn't killed by the hail of swords?"
"Hmph! He must have used some means to hide. He's just a lowly human. If he really walks out of our Demon Realm alive, I'll change my name!"
With a whoosh, a flying sword sliced through the air, piercing the demon who had spoken rudely to Su Nian and pinning him to the wall.
As the demon lay dying, he looked at the sword that had pierced him, then raised his head and saw Qian Muyu, the patriarch of the Illusion Demon Clan, slowly emerging from the scroll of mountains and seas. His eyes were filled with bewilderment.
Why...why protect that human...?
All members of the Illusion Demon Clan slowly emerged from the Mountain and Sea Painting Scroll, with Qian Muyu leading the way and coming to Su Nian's side.
His scrutinizing gaze swept across the faces of the demons watching, and none of them dared to meet his eyes!
After all, in the entire Demon Realm, apart from Leng Xingchen, no one can compare to Qian Muyu.
Why should I protect Mr. Su?
Facing the dying demon and the bewildered onlookers, Qian Muyu declared loudly, "Because Mr. Su Nian is now an external elder of my Illusion Demon Clan! From this day forward, throughout the entire Demon Realm, if anyone dares to speak ill of Mr. Su Nian behind his back, they will be killed without mercy if discovered by any member of my clan!"
The demons below the stage remained completely silent.
Most demons in the Demon Realm harbor deep hatred for humans, so many of them naturally disagreed with Qian Muyu's words.
They turned their attention to the other eight demon clans, hoping to see a dissatisfied reaction from them.
Unfortunately, they failed.
None of the other eight demon races showed the slightest dissatisfaction; their expressions were calm, as if they all felt that this was a matter of course.
Even members of the nine demon clans shook their heads with regret and sighed, as if to say why they weren't the ones who befriended Su Nian back then.
The demons were stunned.
Until Qian Muyu loudly announced the next sentence.
"In this war of a hundred races, the Cursed Demon Clan was completely annihilated! Their patriarch, Leng Xingchen, died at the hands of Mr. Su Nian! From this day forward, the Cursed Demon Clan will no longer exist in the Demon Realm!"
Many demons gaped in shock.
Looking at Su Nian again, there was no longer any contempt in his eyes, but instead a deep shock.
Was it actually this human who killed Chief Leng?
Clan Chief Leng is a peerless expert who has reached the seventh level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm! Could it be... that this human...
The demons dared not think any further.
Even the Cursed Demon Clan couldn't withstand experts at the seventh level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. If they were to truly anger him, their smaller clans couldn't afford the consequences.
The nine demon races have been confirmed, and now it's time for them to receive the baptism of the ancient demon god's power.
The nine newly born demon races will be baptized by the power of the ancient demon gods according to their ranking. After this baptism, the nine newly born demon races will be reborn, fundamentally setting them apart from the other demon races.
Su Nian did not participate in the baptism of the nine demon clans. He stepped off the stage and, with Qian Shudie, came down to the audience to quietly watch the baptism ceremony of the nine demon clans.
The whole process was even faster than Su Nian had imagined. A giant cup appeared in the sky, which would be used to pour water onto the demons who had survived the battle of the Hundred Races.
The demons who undergo this process will see their strength and talent rise by more than one level.
Su Nian stood below the stage, arms crossed, watching quietly without saying a word.
"Su Nian."
Suddenly, someone beside him called his name softly.
Su Nian glanced to the side and saw Gong Lengxue, dressed in white, slowly walking towards him.
She stopped in front of Su Nian, looked her up and down, and smiled, "Congratulations! It seems your strength has fully recovered?"
Su Nian nodded slightly, "Yes."
Qian Shudie hid nervously behind Su Nian, afraid of being seen by Gong Lengxue.
"Stop hiding, Sister Shudie, I can see you."
“Uh…” Qian Shudie scratched her head awkwardly and stepped forward.
Su Nian was also a little embarrassed.
After all, the Three Lives Stone is the ancestral treasure of the Reincarnation Demon Clan. How can I give them an explanation for absorbing it like this?
After thinking for a moment, Su Nian took out three jade slips from her bosom and handed them to Gong Lengxue.
"What is this...?" Gong Lengxue looked at the jade slip with curiosity.
"These three jade slips are closely connected to me. If your Reincarnation Demon Clan encounters any insurmountable crisis in the future, you can crush them. No matter where I am, I will come to save you immediately!"
Gong Lengxue smiled upon hearing this, "I see. Then thank you, Your Majesty."
Su Nian was taken aback.
He looked at Gong Lengxue, and their eyes met. At that moment, he seemed to see a lot in Gong Lengxue's eyes.
"Could it be... that you already knew all along?"
Gong Lengxue slowly shook her head, "I only know a little bit about it. I don't know what the future holds."
Suddenly, the scene of Gong Lengxue's first visit to Su Liuli in this life flashed into Su Nian's mind.
A strong sense of foreboding washed over him, and he suddenly grabbed Gong Lengxue's shoulders, demanding, "Where is my master?"
Gong Lengxue's shoulder ached from being gripped so tightly, but she still managed a forced smile. "She... perhaps she's gone to a place... you'll never find her..."
