Chapter 422 The Fall of the Ancestral Demon
"In your opinion, young friend, how should the Three Demons of the Sky-Sweeping Realm be dealt with?"
The Demon King Wudao spoke calmly, yet his words resonated throughout the arena, causing an uproar!
"What? Did I hear that right? The Demon King of No Mortality is actually asking this person for his opinion?"
"What's going on? He actually called this human 'little friend'? Is this... treating each other as equals?"
"Incredible, incredible!"
Everyone was in an uproar, their faces filled with disbelief, and all eyes were fixed on Li Lan.
Who is this person?
"Wu Heng, a newly risen purification master, a servant and follower of Xingluo Plain..."
"Impossible! How could he be a follower of Xingluoyuan? If he were a follower, why would the Wudao Heavenly Demon treat him like this?"
Everyone started to speak up!
Even a group of ancestral demons were shocked at this moment.
Who doesn't know the name of the Unruly Heavenly Demon? In the primordial world, he was a towering figure, as proud as a mountain peak throughout his life. In the past, he even dared to attack the invincible Heavenly Emperor and withstood two of his swords.
Now, he has taken a step closer to that legendary realm. Looking across the entire primordial world, there are probably very few people who can fight him.
Who else in this world deserves to be treated like this?
The life or death of the three peerless demons actually depends on the attitude of a human?
"Something's not right. This human must have a significant background. Something's definitely not right!"
"How could he possibly be a follower? Judging from the attitude of the Demon King Wudao, it's more likely that Xingluoyuan was his follower!"
"What exactly happened...?"
The various ancestral demons were filled with doubt.
The major powers of the Eternal True Realm were even more shocked at this moment.
"Wu Heng is actually this terrifying?"
"I knew it. How could an unknown person rise to prominence so quickly? He must have some powerful connections."
"How can a human have such a status and position? What makes him so special?!"
They all spoke up.
The Dongya clan, in particular, were all astonished at this moment.
"How is this possible?"
"He actually has a past connection with someone like the Daoless Demon King? You're wrong, completely wrong!"
"The real key figure isn't Xingluoyuan, but Wu Heng?!"
All the elders were astonished.
Dongya Changlie gasped in shock, staring at Li Lan in disbelief.
Although Li Lan had previously visited the Dongya Clan and displayed exceptional talent on Tianshi Island, they always believed that the true protagonist of the gift from the third clan should be Xingluoyuan.
Because Wu Heng is a human.
The Eternal True Realm is about to change. The era belonging to the Primordial World is about to begin. Human beings are few and far between before the Primordial World. Even the Eternal Royal Family must bow down before the Primordial World...
Therefore, no one would have thought that Wu Heng was more important than Xingluoyuan.
Before the beginning, humans were destined to be nothing more than vassals.
But now, this scene suddenly made them realize that Wu Heng... was definitely not that simple.
"How could he..."
Dongya Xiaoxiao was utterly shocked!
Even everyone in the Hua Tian clan was stunned and speechless for a moment.
"Young Master Wu Heng...is that strong?!"
"Didn't the Demon King Wudao come because of Young Master Xingluoyuan? Why then do you need to ask Young Master Wuheng about the life and death of the three demons?"
"Young Master Wu Heng is extraordinary, absolutely extraordinary!"
Everyone looked extremely solemn.
Hua Tianqiu's expression was complicated. When the Wudao Heavenly Demon revealed the Chaos Dao Diagram just now, he had already vaguely guessed it, and now it was completely confirmed.
Even the breakthrough of the Demon King Wudao must be related to Young Master Li Lan, right?!
How is this possible...?
Such an arrogant being as the Unruly Heavenly Demon is probably only subdued by the Heavenly Emperor, yet now he is being so polite to Li Lan…
Everyone was in a different mood throughout, and everyone was astonished!
The Three Demons of the Sky were utterly shocked and enraged. Who were they? How could their lives be tied to the whim of a mere human ant? This was intolerable!
Despite the intense scrutiny, Li Lan remained remarkably calm.
He gently put down his teacup, then stood up, greeted him, and said:
“These three are from the Primordial World. They defied the world by using blood curses to persecute a younger genius and even directly attempted to kill Xingluoyuan. I believe they should be punished according to the rules of the Primordial World to uphold the Primordial Way and maintain justice for the world!”
His words were calm, but everyone in the room couldn't help but feel a chill.
"What a fine Wu Heng!"
"This boy is incredibly cunning. Regardless of his talent, his shrewdness alone is enough to warrant attention!"
"To kill without harboring resentment is like a spring breeze brushing against a willow, leaving no trace. To act in accordance with the situation and guide it to one's advantage—this man's extraordinary talent is evident!"
Many people in power couldn't help but speak out.
Because they all understood how valuable Li Lan's words were.
If Li Lan directly had the Unruly Heavenly Demon kill the Three Peerless Demons, then Wu Heng would have to bear this karmic burden. In the future, if the old friends or descendants of the Three Peerless Demons wanted revenge, they would all target Wu Heng.
Moreover, Wu Heng's name will spread throughout the entire Primordial World, attracting the attention of countless high-ranking figures...
A tree that stands out in the forest will surely be felled by the wind; being too prominent can easily attract resentment. As a human, his involvement in such cause and effect in the primordial world would likely be seen as insubordination by the powerful figures of the primordial world.
He unknowingly made many enemies.
However, if the three peerless demons are released, the consequences will be even more dire. These three masters will be determined to target Xingluoyuan and Wu Heng in the future, making them impossible to guard against.
Even if the Demon King Wudao values these two people, he cannot possibly protect them at all times.
Li Lan's answer is brilliant in this respect: use the justice of the primordial world to kill people, to make knives!
Today, after the three peerless demons are killed, the world will only spread the news that the three peerless demons used the Primordial Blood Curse to target geniuses and were killed by the Wudao Heavenly Demon in the line of duty. Wu Heng's role in this will not be so prominent!
He also wouldn't easily provoke the displeasure of other high-ranking members of the original world.
The ability to grasp the nuances of power is something only a seasoned cunning old fox could understand and master. But how could Wu Heng, who is so young, handle things so skillfully?
This is precisely what amazes those in power!
Of course, another reason is that the attitude of the Wudao Heavenly Demons made them pay unprecedented attention to Wu Heng.
--When people value someone, they will think about even a casual remark and feel that the other person has a deeper meaning. This is only human nature.
Upon hearing Li Lan's words, the expressions of the various ancestral demons of the primordial world changed drastically, and they all looked at the three peerless demons!
"You brat, a lowly human ant, how dare you speak here? Who do you think you are!?"
Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Demon roared and raised his hand. In an instant, a vast amount of demonic energy and supreme magical power pressed down on Li Lan, containing a powerful killing intent!
"Dare you!"
Hua Tianqiu reacted extremely quickly, doing his best to protect Li Lan, while Wudao Tianmo's expression darkened and he raised his hand.
At the same time, Li Lan suddenly said, "They're trying to escape!"
Upon hearing this, the Demon King Wudao immediately understood. He had only intended to block the opponent's attack, but he hadn't expected this. With Li Lan's reminder, his hand suddenly changed, and in an instant, the entire Eternal Royal Court was covered by terrifying chains of order.
The chains are like a net covering the sky and the earth, permeating every inch of space, making it impossible to sneak through the void.
As for Dangtian, Lieri, and Tayue, their figures had already become ethereal the moment Dangtian attacked Li Lan. They were forced out of the void by the terrifying chains.
The three of them looked extremely grim!
The three of them worked together seamlessly and escaped in an instant; moreover, the probability of them getting away was quite high!
After all, the three of them were Ancestral Demons. Who would have thought that they would abandon their dignity and run away? Even the Daoless Heavenly Demon did not take such precautions. Yet, Wu Heng actually saw through their intentions.
What kind of devil is this person?
"You wicked man, we have no grudge against you. Do you really intend to force us to our deaths for the sake of a human being?"
The Heavenly Demon Ancestor roared!
However, the other Ancestral Demons had already seen through his bluster and weakness!
Clearly, the three peerless demons, renowned for their power, had no courage to fight the ruthless Heavenly Demon.
After all, when the Demon King Wudao descended just now, he made a move that showed everyone the power of the Demon King. Taking a small step towards the legendary realm, he was already invincible.
"Human race?"
But the Demon King Wudao laughed. He stood with his hands behind his back and said, "The world must know that I am killing you all today to uphold the original justice!"
"You have used blood curses in an attempt to destroy a genius, which is a death offense. Today, the three of you will be used as sacrifices to uphold justice and fairness in this world!"
Clearly, he was following Li Lan's intentions. As soon as he finished speaking, he moved and charged towards the three Ancestral Demons.
"Fellow Daoist Wudao, let's talk things out. We have no deep-seated hatred or irreconcilable grudges with Wu Heng!"
Upon seeing this, the Rift Sun Ancestral Demon immediately became anxious and hurriedly spoke.
“Indeed, young friend Wu Heng, even if we were disrespectful before, we are willing to make amends. There is no need for such formalities between us…”
The Moon-Treading Ancestral Demon's expression and attitude also changed drastically!
They all realized that the real key figure was Wu Heng.
If they want to survive, there is probably only one way: to get Li Lan to change his attitude.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room wore complex expressions.
"Wu Heng wields astonishing power..."
"With a single word, he can decide the fate of the Ancestral Demon... We haven't offended him, have we? From now on, we must mend our relationship with the Hua Tian Clan!"
"Indeed, this person is a rising star, and should not be trifled with!"
All the major powers in the Eternal True Realm were filled with dread.
Even the primordial demons of various races looked at Li Lan with deep thoughts in their eyes.
At this moment, everyone in the Dongya royal family turned green with rage.
Some people even quietly retreated, trying to slip away!
Clearly, they were all terrified. Everyone knew that the Three Peerless Demons were colluding with the Dongya Clan. After the Three Peerless Demons were killed, they would probably end up in the hands of the Dongya Royal Family.
Dongya Changlie's face was ashen. He looked at Li Lan from afar with a bitter smile on his face!
He had served as the supreme ruler of the royal court for many years, wielding power and invincible. However, since encountering theory, he has repeatedly made mistakes, and now his mistakes have reached a point of no return...
Looking back now, it's clear that every step of his plan was thwarted by his opponent, who repeatedly countered, just like in a game of chess where every move he made was seen through by his opponent.
The key point is that he doesn't even know how Li Lan did it.
what does this mean?
The other party's political skills, understanding of the situation, and sense of danger... are actually superior to mine?
How is this possible...?
