Ling Xiao’s Martial Soul Clone couldn’t feel the soul pressure, but seeing the three people had fallen down, he also couldn’t just stand there. Therefore, he just pretended to lie on the ground along with them.
He didn’t dare to make any rash move because he needed to judge the strength of this Plague Demon King first.
“Ke ke ke ke!”
A strange voice resounded and a strange face appeared on that blob of green liquid.
“Little fellows, since you all have come here, why are you so anxious to leave? It just so happens that the resurrection of Great Emperor still needed more sacrifices, so you all should stay behind.”
“Master, shouldn’t we examine their martial talent first? Didn’t you always want a perfect body?”
The Demon General said.
“Among these four, the best martial talent is also just an immortal-grade treasured body. It’s basically no good. If this king is to be resurrected, then it must be at least a divine-grade treasured body. Unfortunately, I’m afraid I can’t find a physique better than a divine-grade treasured body in this continent. This should be due to the deprivation of certain laws.”
Plague Demon King looked at Ling Xiao and others with disdain. He had no interest in their bodies.
“What Master said is very true, but this subordinate is incompetent. That Moonlight Sect’s disciple named Ling Xiao is a bit abnormal. This subordinate lost the body to him, moreover, I wasn’t his opponent.”
If Ling Xiao risked his life, then he might be able to fight until both sides suffered, but the Demon General didn’t want that.
In his view, fighting a dying opponent until both sides suffered was too stupid. Therefore, he ran away and was trying to use the power of Plague Demon King to subdue Ling Xiao.
“Humph, a trifling Half Great Master, but he actually scared you to this state. You are truly a good-for-nothing!”
That dense green liquid coldly snorted and suddenly, a vast, terrifying aura spread all around.
This time, he mainly targeted Ling Xiao.
At that instant, the entire underground palace became dark green and wailing sounds resounded from all around.
The people felt like they had fallen into the demon realm.
The most terrifying thing was, Wan Yanjun, Chen Zui and Shangguan Lei, whose souls were injured before, actually felt like the earth was shaking like it was the end of the world.
This powerful strength made Wan Yanjun, Chen Zui and Shangguan Lei cower endlessly.
“Ling Xiao harmed us! This Plague Demon King has obviously recovered his strength. How can we be his opponent?”
Wan Yanjun yelled, looked at Plague Demon King while trembling and begged for mercy: “Your Majesty the Demon King, please spare me. I can give Your Highness a lot of Moonlight Sect’s secrets. I can even lend my body to Lord Demon General for use.”
“I’m also willing! I’m also willing to give up my body. I just ask Your Majesty to spare my life.”
For Transcendent Realm experts, as long as the soul existed, they could survive for a period of time even without the body.
Merely, that period of time was not too long. They needed to find another body within one year. Otherwise, they would quickly age.
However, at this moment, Wan Yanjun and Chen Zui already couldn’t afford to think too much. They just wanted to live. Even if it was painful to live, it was better than dying.
Moreover, after becoming a subordinate of the Plague Demon King, they might acquire even more terrifying and powerful strength.
“Idiots!”
Ling Xiao couldn’t help cursing inwardly.
The other party’s powerful aura had frightened them so much that their minds were in chaos. They were truly stupid enough.
In fact, if they had taken a closer look, then with the insight of Wan Yanjun and Chen Zui, they could have definitely seen that Plague Demon King was just bluffing.
If he was truly powerful, then he wouldn’t have just used his aura to frighten them, rather would have directly captured them and made the Demon General take them to the altar.
Even if Ling Xiao didn’t have the Landscape Martial Soul, he could have seen through this point.
Sure enough, once people became frightened, they would become stupid.
In fact, there was one thing Ling Xiao hadn’t expected.
That was, Wan Yanjun and Chen Zui sincerely wanted to join Plague Demon King.
They had already forgotten the cruelty of True Demon Empire’s troops back then. They just saw the other party’s strength now.
This True Demon Empire was able to fight against the flourishing Sacred Dynasty of the Human Race back then, but the current twelve sects and the Sacred Dynasty had become a lot weaker than before.
What would they achieve just staying in the Moonlight Sect?
They might remain in the Rank Three Transcendent Realm for their lifetime, or at most, they would become a Rank Four Transcendent Realm Great Master.
However, if they became the subject of Plague Demon King, then relying on the True Demon Empire’s unique secret method, they would have a hope to step into the Celestial Realm.
Fear combined with greed made Wan Yanjun and Chen Zui choose to immediately turn sides.
Shangguan Lei, however, was still hesitating.
He was also afraid of death, but he was obviously not as shameless as those two.
“Heh heh heh, very good, a wise man submits to circumstances! Your choice is absolutely correct!”
The Demon General smiled and said: “Honestly speaking, my Master, however, is the Plague Demon King, one of the nine Great Demon Generals under True Demon Great Emperor. His strength is known all under heaven. Back then, other than your Sacred Dynasty’s Sage Lord, no one was nine Great Demon Generals’ opponents.”
“Seeking refuge with the Plague Demon King is the wisest choice. We can hold your soul and even forge a stronger body for you as long as you sincerely surrender.”
Sure enough, he’s the Plague Demon King!
Ling Xiao worked out a plan in his heart.
“This Wan Yanjun is willing to pledge loyalty to the Plague Demon King. I’ll not hesitate to go through fire and water for His Majesty the Demon King!”
“This Chen Zui is willing to pledge loyalty to the Plague Demon King. I’ll be loyal and faithful to Your Majesty the Demon King and repay your kindness!”
Wan Yanjun and Chen Zui, these two fellows had already become useless. The terrifying aura of Plague Demon King had already shaken them so much that they firmly believed in the other party’s words.
Ling Xiao naturally knew that the words of the Demon General were not wrong.
Back then, if not for the Sage Lord of the Human Race, it would have been basically impossible to defeat the nine Great Demon Generals.
Even seventy-two Demon Generals under Plague Demon King, each one was on the level of the sect’s Supreme Elder or Sect Master in terms of strength.
However, that was just in the past.
Now, it was obvious that this Demon General’s cultivation base was roughly Peak Rank Three Transcendent Realm.
He was still very weak.
As for the Plague Demon King, it could be estimated that this Demon General had resurrected him, and now, he was even weaker. His strength should be Peak Rank Three Transcendent Realm at the best.
If the four of them worked together, then they could definitely eliminate these remnants of the True Demon Empire.
However, it was truly a pity.
Wan Yanjun and Chen Zui had completely lost their courage before doing anything.
As for Shangguan Lei, although he had not yet agreed to surrender, he was still hesitating and had no will to fight.
Shangguan Lei turned around and looked at Ling Xiao. At this moment, he felt that he could only rely on Ling Xiao. Perhaps, relying on Ling Xiao, he would be able to escape alive from here.
He didn’t want to die, but he also didn’t want to seek refuge with demons.
Speaking of Shangguan Lei, Ling Xiao’s calm mind as well as his mysterious and powerful strength had completely convinced him.
Sometimes, he thought, since Ling Xiao was actually able to grow up under the pressure of Hei Suo and Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy, didn’t this prove his ability?
Even in this sect task, if it weren’t for Ling Xiao, then they would have already died here long ago.
Although Shangguan Lei didn’t know why Ling Xiao was so strong, was that important?
It wasn’t important!
