124. Defeated Foe, Dare to Speak?

"Chen Xuan, think it over!" Cheng Pu urged again when Chen Xuan didn’t respond.

If they could make Chen Xuan join them, his control over the Ancestral Symbol would be a huge benefit to the Demon Clan.

But Chen Xuan simply said calmly, "If you won’t talk, then all of you can die."

A cruel glint appeared in Cheng Pu's eyes. "In that case, you’ll all be sealed here together."

Chen Xuan wasn’t intimidated by his threats. "It seems you’ve forgotten—I have everything I need to counter demons."

With two Ancestral Symbols and an Ancestral Stone, he had powerful tools against demons. How did they dare try to seal him?

Cheng Pu sneered. "Even with the Ancestral Symbols, what can you do against overwhelming strength?"

Ancestral Symbols? Hearing this, Fen Tian was shocked.

Ding! Fen Tian felt shock, Emotion Value +500.

As an ancient figure, he knew well the power of the Ancestral Symbols. Combined with his treasures, there was a real chance they could subdue these demons again.

The demon commander in the black fog, upon learning Chen Xuan had such a powerful relic, roared, "What are you all waiting for? Attack with me—seal them completely!"

The demon had seen the Ancestral Symbols’ power firsthand long ago, and the thought of facing it filled him with dread.

Cheng Pu and the others nodded.

"Demon Seal!"

The demon general shouted, and crimson lights flashed rapidly, transforming into a huge black prison that surrounded the entire area. An ominous black aura emerged from the demon, coalescing into an ancient seal.

Ding! Demon Commander felt pride, Emotion Value +500.

"This isn’t good," Fen Tian murmured, his face darkening as he tried to control his cauldron to defend himself.

"Hahaha, you’ll keep each other company, sealed here forever!" the demon general sneered, morphing into a human form and joining Cheng Pu and the others in forming the hand signs to direct the massive black seal towards Chen Xuan and Fen Tian

"Young friend, I’ll hold them off. You must escape!" Fen Tian said urgently. With his ancient array weakened by Cheng Pu’s sabotage, and his strength no longer at its peak, he could only fight to the death to give Chen Xuan a chance to survive. A bearer of the Ancestral Symbols could not be allowed to fall here.

"Trying to escape? You’ll need my permission first!" the demon general scoffed.

Ding! Demon General felt confidence, Emotion Value +500.

Chen Xuan let out a cold laugh. "A mere demon commander dares speak so boldly?"

He reached out, and a black soul banner appeared in his hand, radiating dark smoke.

With a swing, a few shadows, led by Bo Xuan, burst from the banner, crashing into the ancient seal and shattering it with unstoppable force as they charged toward Cheng Pu and the others.

"Look out! Dodge!" Cheng Pu shouted, noticing the danger and attempting to evade.

In the next instant—

"Clash!"


Bo Xuan swung a black iron chain, hooking Cheng Pu directly and forcibly pulling his soul from his body. Cheng Pu’s body, lifeless with the soul removed, immediately turned to ashes.

At the same time, Liu Tong, Huang Bin, and the others also had their souls extracted and merged into the Soul Banner.

"Cheng Pu!" Only Wang Su remained, his face filled with terror. He quickly turned, begging, "My lord, please, save me!"

"Eight Demon Generals!" The Demon General in the black fog finally recognized a familiar figure emerging from the Soul Banner. A thousand years ago, he and the Eight Demon Generals were allies.

Now, after a millennium of imprisonment, he was furious to see his former comrade reduced to a lackey of these humans.

Ding! Demon General feels rage, Emotion Value +666.

Furious, the Demon General roared, "I’ll make you—"

Before he could finish, a figure appeared before him like a ghost. A terrifying devouring force began consuming the demonic aura surrounding him and even tearing at his true form, hidden within the black fog.

The joy he’d felt upon being rescued was instantly overtaken by rage. "You bastard!"

"Ancestral Symbol!!" Chen Xuan raised his hand, and the Darkness Ancestral Symbol and Devouring Ancestral Symbol appeared.

"You... You actually have two Ancestral Symbols!" A trace of fear finally appeared in the Demon General’s eyes.

Ding! Demon General feels fear and a desire to escape, Emotion Value +666.

Afraid already? I've got a surprise for you!

Chen Xuan flicked his finger, and the Ancestral Stone appeared before the Demon General.

"The Ancestral Stone too! Are you... are you the reincarnation of the Symbol Ancestor?"

"You guess!" Chen Xuan formed a series of hand seals, balancing the two Ancestral Symbols with the Ancestral Stone. The symbols unleashed two terrifying powers that purified the Demon General.

"No... no, don’t! I’m not ready to die—!"

Before he could finish his scream, the Demon General was completely obliterated.

Fen Tian watched, his mouth agape, unable to speak. In his prime, he’d barely managed to imprison this Demon General by sacrificing his life force.

Yet, here was this young man, wielding not only the Ancestral Symbols but the Ancestral Stone itself, dispatching a Demon General with power only at the middle Profound Death Realm. Terrifying—absolutely terrifying!

Chen Xuan collected his items and scanned the area, not seeing any sign of Yuan Cang and his group.

"Senior, did you see three young men, one dressed in white and holding a fan?"

"No," Fen Tian replied, shaking his head.

Chen Xuan seemed to recall something. "I have something urgent. I’ll take my leave!" He shot off in the direction of where Ying Huanhuan and her group were hiding.

...

"Yuan Cang!" Ying Xiaoxiao glared icily at the group that had suddenly appeared, clenching her delicate hands tightly.

"Well, well, hiding here, were you? Made us search all over!" Yuan Cang grinned at the Dao Sect disciples, his eyes glinting with a thick killing intent.

"What are you planning?" Ying Xiaoxiao demanded, sensing danger.

"What am I planning? To send you all down to reunite with your late Senior Sister from the Sky Hall, of course!" Yuan Cang's face twisted with a cruel smile.

"Yuan Cang, you’re asking for death!" Wang Yan, hearing mention of his senior sister, was on the verge of rushing out for a fight to the death.

"Brother Wang Yan, calm down! We’re inside a formation. Chen Xuan said it could withstand ten attacks from a Samsara Realm fighter!" Ying Xiaoxiao held Wang Yan back.

Lei Qian taunted, "Oh, the defeated dog dares to bark? Seems escaping last time made you overconfident!"

"Try me!" Wang Yan shot back, defiant, though Ying Xiaoxiao held him tightly, keeping him from rushing out in anger.

Yuan Cang noticed the formation and pulled out a black lotus petal. "Everyone, step aside. I’ll break the formation!"
