Tianlang Holy King’s words caused Long Changqing’s expression to change greatly in shock. He hurriedly cried out in alarm, “Holy King, spare my life!”
“Please, Tianlang Holy King, show mercy!!”
At the same time, the two great demons in the distance instantly teleported over and joined in pleading with Tianlang Holy King.
These two were none other than the Fear Demon Ancestor and the Illusory Colour Demon Ancestor, who had come to accompany Long Changqing on this trip.
As the protectors of Long Changqing’s journey here, they naturally did not dare to watch him be killed. Otherwise, how could they explain it to the Sea Dragon Holy King?
“You are also demons from the Dragon King Sea?”
Tianlang Holy King’s gaze swept over them, immediately causing the two demon ancestors to tremble all over in fear.
“Reporting to Tianlang Holy King, we are indeed demons from the Dragon King Sea. We beg the Holy King to show leniency and spare our Holy Son!”
The Fear Demon Ancestor spoke with a face full of bitterness.
“Your Dragon King Sea really has enormous guts!”
“Not only did you steal this Emperor’s blood pills during the chaos, but you even dare to appear in front of this Emperor?”
“Do you truly think this Emperor is made of clay?!”
Tianlang Holy King was immediately angered to the point of laughing, yet his gaze became even colder.
“Tianlang Holy King, even if you kill our Holy Son, it will not help matters. Instead, it will provoke the fury of our Holy King. It would be better to discuss compensation first. Everything can be negotiated!” the Illusory Colour Demon Ancestor said.
“Indeed. Our Holy Son possesses the Twin Demon Body. Even if Tianlang Holy King kills him, you cannot truly do anything permanent to him. It would only cause discord between the two great demon domains, which would bring more loss than gain!” the Fear Demon Ancestor quickly added.
Twin Demon Body?
Tianlang Holy King was stunned for a moment, then he understood and said, “No wonder his vitality is so tenacious!”
Upon hearing this, Mo Fan felt quite surprised. He turned to the three senior demon ancestors who had just returned beside him and asked, “Three seniors, what exactly is the Twin Demon Body?”
“The Twin Demon Body is an extremely powerful sacred physique among our demon race’s bloodlines. It is said that once this demon body awakens, one can possess two bodies!
However, unlike clones, the strength of these two bodies is roughly equal!
Even more terrifying is that as long as one body remains undestroyed, a completely new body can be derived at any time. Therefore, beings with the Twin Demon Body are extremely difficult to kill!” the Giant Demon Ancestor said in a deep voice.
“I had heard Bai Sheng mention before that the Holy Son of the Dragon King Sea might possess the Twin Demon Body. I never expected it to actually be true!”
Zi Lan sighed.
Even she, as a great demon ancestor, was astonished by such an abnormal physique.
Mo Fan could not help but narrow his eyes slightly. No wonder that fellow had managed to survive until now. No wonder he could still live even after his head was gone!
This Twin Demon Body was truly extraordinarily powerful!
It was even stronger in many ways than his own Shuiyue clone, because a clone’s strength needed to be cultivated separately, whereas the Twin Demon Body had two bodies of equal power. That was truly terrifying.
In front of the Tianlang Hall, seeing that Tianlang Holy King seemed to be slightly relenting, the Fear Demon Ancestor and Illusory Colour Demon Ancestor immediately spoke up, “Tianlang Holy King, we admit our fault in this matter, but please consider the face of the Sea Dragon Holy King and forgive us. We are willing to compensate you!”
Tianlang Holy King’s expression softened slightly upon hearing this.
He actually understood everything clearly. Those involved in this chaos could not possibly be only these three unlucky ones from the Dragon King Sea. However, he could not openly punish all the great demons on a large scale, as that would inevitably offend every faction and go against his original intention.
Although he truly wanted to slap these three to death, and killing them would be ideal, even he could not kill someone with the Twin Demon Body. That made things rather troublesome.
Just as Tianlang Holy King was considering whether to let these three off, a huge monster suddenly teleported over from nearby.
“Holy King, do not let these fellows go!”
“They deserve to die!!”
Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the Nine Nether Ghost Spider, Tianlang Holy King’s face instantly changed. He shouted, “Why are you not properly guarding the Nine Nether Cavern? Why did you come here?!”
“Holy King, this old servant has failed you!”
“The Nine Nether Cavern has been completely looted by these fellows!!”
The Nine Nether Ghost Spider began to weep, causing Tianlang Holy King to turn pale with shock.
“What?!”
Tianlang Holy King roared in fury, then vanished from his spot.
The next second, he appeared directly inside the cavern where the Nine Nether Ghost Spider had been. He found the place in ruins, even the lid of his own alchemy treasure furnace had been pried open!
He teleported up to look, and instantly his blood surged with rage.
The massive pill furnace was completely empty, not even a single blood pill remained!
“Ah…!!”
“Who exactly was it?!!”
Tianlang Holy King roared in anger. His furious voice caused the entire Moon-Gazing Valley to tremble lightly and frightened many great demons.
“It seems those things are extremely important to this Tianlang Holy King!”
Mo Fan felt the roar of Tianlang Holy King and felt somewhat uneasy in his heart, because only he himself knew exactly what he had done.
Compared to the other demons charging into the Tianlang Hall and snatching blood pills, what he had committed was truly the greatest crime.
Hearing Tianlang Holy King’s furious roar, Mo Fan almost wanted to slip away immediately, but he still understood the stakes involved and did not actually run.
Not long after, he saw Tianlang Holy King teleport back with blood-red eyes, looking as if he wanted to devour demons!
“Holy King, this old servant failed in his duty. Please punish me!!”
At this moment, the Nine Nether Ghost Spider on the plaza had transformed into a black-robed elder and was kneeling and trembling before Tianlang Holy King.
“What use is punishment?”
“Your crime is enough to warrant death ten thousand times!!”
Tianlang Holy King kicked him over with one foot, then reached out and grabbed from afar toward Long Changqing and the three demons. The Holy Son and the two mid-stage Ancestor Realm great demons were all involuntarily lifted into the air.
“Tianlang Holy King, spare our lives!!”
The three demons were instantly terrified and begged for mercy repeatedly.
Tianlang Holy King snorted coldly, ignoring the three demons. Instead, he used his vast divine sense to directly probe into their sea of consciousness and forcibly search their memories.
Moments later, he threw the three demons to the ground and said coldly, “You three demons dared to steal this Emperor’s Moon-Gazing Valley supreme treasure, the ‘Nine Nether Divine Mill’. Your crime is unpardonable!”
“From now on, find a way to notify Long Jiao to come to my Moon-Gazing Valley to redeem the demons. Otherwise, do not even think about leaving alive!”
With that, he spoke loudly again, “This Emperor orders that from this moment, the entire Moon-Gazing Valley demon domain is sealed. Entry permitted, exit forbidden!
Anyone who violates this, regardless of which holy land they come from or what their identity is, will be killed without mercy!
The seal remains until the day this Emperor’s grand birthday celebration ends!”
“Obey the Holy King’s command!!”
In Moon-Gazing Valley, all the great demons responded in unison.
Next, Tianlang Holy King ordered Di Sha to personally lead great demons in investigating all the great demons in Moon-Gazing Valley, hoping to uncover those so-called “thieves”.
However, this was only the surface arrangement. In reality, Tianlang Holy King returned to the Tianlang Hall at once. He came to a screen, his face gloomy, and walked straight in.
Ripples appeared on the surface of the screen. Only after Tianlang Holy King completely vanished inside did it calm down again, turning back into a landscape painting.
This was a pocket heaven world, filled with swirling clouds and mists, flocks of immortal cranes, towering mountains and ancient trees, as well as great rivers with jade-green waves.
In such a place that resembled an earthly paradise, there stood an ordinary courtyard.
Inside the courtyard, a young man and a young woman were practising swordplay, while a beautiful woman was watering flowers.
As she watered the flowers, the beautiful woman suddenly furrowed her brows slightly and muttered to herself, “Why have you come?”
“This is this Emperor’s Tianlang Cave Heaven. Why can this Emperor not come?”
Tianlang Holy King snorted coldly, then said to the beautiful woman in a deep voice, “I have been played by those old fellows!”
“Oh?”
The beautiful woman raised an eyebrow and continued watering.
“As you predicted, none of them came. Instead, they sent some youngsters to create chaos and try to probe my bottom line!”
“Isn’t that something we already expected?” the beautiful woman sneered.
“None of that matters. The key is that the blood pills I refined were stolen, and even the Nine Nether Divine Mill is gone!”
Tianlang Holy King wore a gloomy face. He then looked at the beautiful woman and said gravely, “I need you to help me divine and deduce who exactly had the audacity to steal this Emperor’s possessions!”
