Everyone was affected by this incident, except for the Zhentian Clan Chief, Sect Master Zhi! He acted as if nothing had happened, with his hands behind his back, looking calm and composed, with a smug and confident expression on his face, while everyone else showed a pained look on their faces.
Placed below the arena, in the inner world, that's where the Demon Lord is sealed. His strength is somewhat suppressed there, which is why he's wary of those little ants. But now that he's out, no one is a threat to him anymore. In the blink of an eye, these people will kneel at his feet in submission.
The Demon Lord looked at the unaffected person, raised an eyebrow, and Sect Master Zhi immediately knelt on the ground, made a gesture to the Demon Lord, and bowed, saying, "Your subordinate greets the Demon Lord and welcomes your return!"
The others looked at the Zhentian Clan Chief in disbelief. It turned out that this person had been planning this all along; he had betrayed them long ago. But when exactly did it begin?
Zi Sangyi coughed up blood, but his eyes held a resolute glint as he looked at the Demon Lord. "Today, I, Zi Sangyi of Qingtao Valley, will spare no effort to slay the Demon Lord!"
His words, brimming with immense power, echoed in everyone's ears. His face was resolute and fearless. Upon hearing this, the Demon Lord smiled and looked at Zi Sangyi again as if she were an ant, "You? Do you think you're worthy?"
The next second, Zisangyi's body flew out and crashed heavily against the wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The others, witnessing this scene, had bloodshot eyes, but the Demon Lord's oppressive aura pressed firmly on their spines, forcing them to bow and bend their heads before him. Many even wore expressions of humiliation, and no one was convinced of their injustice.
Some people wanted to help Zisangyi, but they lacked the ability, and even getting across became a difficult task.
Upon seeing this, Sect Leader Huangfu's face was filled with anxiety. "This is outrageous! Isn't this just taking advantage of our lack of manpower?!"
The Demon Lord laughed loudly, "Even if there are any problems, besides, all the best disciples from your sects are here. What trouble can other people cause? Can they change the situation? Don't even think about it. I'll kill two of them if one comes!"
The voice, filled with murderous intent, reached everyone's ears.
Long Di stood up from the ground with a smug look on his face, his eyes filled with mockery as he looked at the others. "Hahahaha! You didn't expect this, did you? Today is your death day! You actually dared to oppose me! You're just delusional!"
He laughed wildly, oblivious to everything, standing triumphantly behind the Demon Lord like a victor.
Sect Master Yan wore a look of humiliation on his face. He couldn't beat him, but he still wanted to try. So, an axe wrapped in spiritual power was sent toward the Demon Lord's true form. This was already a lot of spiritual power for others, but it was still not enough in front of the Demon Lord.
With a mere wave of his hand, Sect Master Yan lost his balance and fell to the side. Seeing this, the others rushed over anxiously, all wanting to use their meager strength to defeat this great demon in front of them. However, the great demon was completely unaffected.
"I've already said it, you're like ants trying to shake a tree." The Demon Lord's voice was filled with disdain, showing no concern for the lives of those before him.
When Xu Yuehuai and the others arrived, they saw those elders and sect leaders who usually seemed so powerful and influential, desperately trying to drag the Demon Lord down with them, but each one ended in failure.
Behind them were countless people, all of whom had initially been in the stands, seeking revenge against Long Di. Faced with this situation, they were forced to fight. No one knew what they were thinking; with a formidable enemy at hand, they had no choice but to comply.
They were playing a game, getting knocked to the ground only to immediately get up and launch another attack, doing the same thing over and over again.
People could be seen flying overhead, making one's heart skip a beat.
Xu Yuehuai led the others and charged forward. The Demon Lord's body split into several parts to deal with these tenacious and unwilling humans.
Without hesitation, none of the people following Xu Yuehuai rushed forward with their weapons, creating a lively scene.
There were many marks on the ground, all made by the Demon Lord. "Insects, the game is over. I have no interest in playing with you anymore."
As she spoke, a huge black sphere burst forth in the air. Xu Yuehuai had no time to think and immediately summoned the Nine Cauldrons, enveloping everyone else in Yuan Shui's body. She stood at the top, her eyes filled with determination.
"You, don't even think about it." Seeing the person he wanted to kill disappear before his eyes, the Demon Lord was in a bad mood, and his eyes were filled with anger as he looked at Xu Yuehuai.
"It's you again. Do you think I'm still the same as before? Don't even think about it. You are no match for me now. Even in the inner world, you are no match for me. I only let you off the hook. Did you really think you could defeat me?"
The Demon Lord spoke with disdain; he had never looked down on Xu Yuehuai from the beginning, so he spoke without any restraint.
Zi Sangyi, who was inside, knocked on the wall and cursed, "This Demon Lord, he can't beat us, so he's planning to lock us up, can he?"
"This thing looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it before." Everyone was talking about it and no one noticed that a girl was weaving through the crowd, trying to find the person in her mind.
After confirming that Xu Yuehuai wasn't inside, she plopped down on the ground, grabbed Pu Erge, and cried, "What does she want? Yuanshui, please let me out! I want to help her. She's all alone out there, so lonely."
Yuan Shui did not respond to her. He could hear people inside saying that they were demons, but he ignored them all. He only hesitated for a moment when he heard Ji Yuanchi's request.
Ji Yuanchi and Xu Yuehuai had spent so much time together, and she only learned about his name, Yuan Shui, by accident. She had never told anyone about it before, and this was the first time she had spoken directly to Yuan Shui. "I know you've been by her side for a long time. Can you bear to see her fighting the Demon Lord alone outside?"
Yuan Shui hesitated, and Ji Yuanchi knew he had succeeded.
Everyone planned to break the thing open so they could get out. Yuan Shui had no choice but to quietly say to Ji Yuanchi, "I can let you out, but you have to get these people to stop and explain things to them."
Ji Yuan didn't hesitate and began to gather everyone, explaining the situation. Zi Sangyi, with disagreement, said, "She..."
For a moment, he didn't know what to say about it. They had no way to win, just like now, and could only accept their fate. He also had no right to say anything like asking Xu Yuehuai to release them all.
