"Ah ah ah――"
"Who is this guy? So strong!"
"He's Lei Zhenzi! The number one powerhouse under Emperor Qin, Lei Zhenzi! He defeated Elder An, Lei Zhenzi!"
"Lei Zhenzi? Emperor Qin's men have come to our demon path? How is that possible!"
The demon disciples were sent flying, and with reinforcements coming from behind, many collided with each other, creating a chaotic scene.
Lei Zhenzi's speed was fast, and with Yuan Hong enveloping everyone with demonic power, anyone in their path was struck and killed.
As they continued forward, the sense of oppression felt by Emperor Qin grew stronger, but he was not afraid; he was more excited.
"Ding! Triggering side quest―― Escape from the Abyss Gate! Quest details: The host has entered the interior of the Abyss Gate and provoked it. If you can escape alive, you will receive a chance to summon a divine beast!"
The system prompt suddenly sounded, and a smile appeared on Emperor Qin's lips.
Escape?
I'm going to walk out openly and in the light!
Emperor Qin sneered. If he didn't rescue Little Candle Dragon today, he wouldn't leave!
Boom!
Lei Zhenzi shattered a stone pillar that was blocking the path in the air. At this moment, Emperor Qin finally saw the Abyss Gate, a massive palace at least a thousand zhang high, located in the open area of the canyon ahead, occupying several li in circumference. It was hard to imagine such a large space hidden in the pitch-black canyon.
Countless demon disciples were suspended in front of the palace, and with a rough estimate, there were at least a hundred thousand of them.
Fortunately, the vanguard was all disciples in the Void Transformation Realm. Most of the demon disciples suspended in front of the palace were only in the Mortal Shedding Realm.
Emperor Qin scanned the area with narrowed eyes and quickly spotted a familiar face, the leader who attacked the royal capital, Elder An Yansha.
At this moment, he was staring at Emperor Qin with resentment, and there were more than a dozen people with a similar aura standing beside him, presumably all elders of the Abyss Gate.
"Emperor Qin, how dare you come to our door!"
An Yansha gritted his teeth and shouted, wishing he could kill Emperor Qin with his gaze.
"Give me back my Abyssal Gold Bracelet!"
Emperor Qin chuckled. This defeated subordinate still didn't know fear. It turned out that his copper bracelet was called the Abyssal Gold Bracelet. Although Emperor Qin couldn't yet make the Abyssal Gold Bracelet recognize him as its master, he could still keep it. This treasure was extremely powerful, even the Red Boy was suppressed and had no power to fight back.
In fact, An Yansha himself was extremely powerful, reaching the first layer of the Golden Immortal Realm. He could be considered one of the top powerhouses in the entire southern region, and there were few in the Abyss Gate who could match him. He alone could sweep the entire lawless land, but unfortunately, he encountered Lei Zhenzi.
"Where is my divine beast? If you don't return it, none of you will leave here alive today!"
Emperor Qin said coldly, and both Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong erupted with a terrifying momentum, causing the tens of thousands of Abyss Gate demon disciples to fall uncontrollably as if they were carrying a heavy load. The elders like An Yansha were even more frightened. The higher their cultivation, the more they could feel the horror of Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong, especially Yuan Hong, who made them shiver with fear.
Old Master Yi rubbed his chin and stared at the palace of the Abyss Gate, his face full of contemplation.
"Why does this palace seem familiar to me?"
Old Master Yi muttered to himself. As for the lineup of the Abyss Gate, it didn't scare him at all. Perhaps in his eyes, it was not worth mentioning.
At that moment, a presence far stronger than An Yansha's emanated from inside the palace of the Abyss Gate, causing even Lei Zhenzi to be moved, and Yuan Hong narrowed his eyes.
"Emperor Qin, be reasonable, don't go too far."
A voice sounded, calm and not deafening, but because it was too calm, it gave an overwhelming sense of powerlessness.
A tall man in a red robe slowly flew out from a large door of the palace. He had silver hair, two horns, a bone crown on his forehead, and a handsome face. The red robe was adorned with a fierce red scorpion, and his whole body exuded a cold, disdainful aura.
He was the master of the Abyss Gate, Nangong Liethian, the pinnacle figure on the entire demonic path pyramid. Even in the Holy Dynasty, there were only a handful of people who could match him.
Old Master Yi widened his eyes at the sight of Nangong Liethian, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"Are you the master of the Abyss Gate?" Emperor Qin asked, looking at Nangong Liethian from a distance, and Yuan Hong's face was cold, indicating that he was not afraid of Nangong Liethian. This was also an important reason why Emperor Qin remained calm.
Yuan Hong was a powerhouse at the ninth layer of the Golden Immortal Realm, and Emperor Qin didn't know what was beyond the Golden Immortal Realm for the time being.
He didn't believe that Nangong Liethian could surpass the Golden Immortal Realm. If Yuan Hong felt threatened, he would definitely send a message to him in advance.
"Yes," Nangong Liethian said indifferently.
Tens of thousands of Abyss Gate demon disciples nervously watched Emperor Qin and his three companions. In the past, they wouldn't have believed that just four people could put the Abyss Gate on high alert.
"Return my divine beast, and I can overlook the past with your Abyss Gate," Emperor Qin said with a smile, but no one could guess what he was thinking.
"That is the god we have worshipped for generations. How can we hand it over to you!" Nangong Liethian's face darkened slightly, and his momentum began to rise, causing the entire canyon to tremble.
It seemed that they had to fight!
Emperor Qin sighed helplessly. Why couldn't they resolve the issue peacefully?
He then signaled to Yuan Hong to prepare for battle.
"What is your relationship with Yi Lie?"
At the critical moment, Yi Laotou suddenly jumped out and asked Nangong Lietian, causing an instant change in his expression, which raised Qin Jun's eyebrows involuntarily.
Damn it!
Could Yi Laotou have something to do with the Abyss Gate Master?
At the thought of this, Qin Jun suddenly felt the urge to turn and leave.
"Who are you?" Nangong Lietian asked in a deep voice, his eyes even turning bloodshot, with a pervasive sense of killing intent throughout the canyon.
Seeing this, Qin Jun actually breathed a sigh of relief, as the killing intent indicated that he was not a friend.
Yi Laotou's figure flickered, suddenly flying hundreds of meters and arriving in front of Nangong Lietian. His right hand reached out, startling Nangong Lietian, who instinctively reached out to block, but Yi Laotou had already grabbed the front of his clothes.
"You brat, answer my question honestly!" Yi Laotou scolded.
The surrounding elders of the Abyss Gate and tens of thousands of disciples were instantly petrified, mouths agape, their faces filled with disbelief.
Nangong Lietian was covered in cold sweat, his body trembling slightly. Others might not have noticed, but he felt a sense of killing intent emanating from Yi Laotou, as if speaking a single wrong word would bring death upon him.
Who is this person?
Nangong Lietian roared in his heart. Having roamed the Southern Domain for thousands of years, this was the first time he had encountered such a being.
Perhaps only the Holy Emperor could match him.
"What is your relationship with Yi Lie?" Yi Laotou stared into Nangong Lietian's eyes and asked each word deliberately, as if going mad. [End of this chapter]
