Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

Chapter 1392 The person who broke the situation

Watching the two figures depart, Su Qian remained silent for a moment, then slowly got up and walked to the window, looking up in the direction where the sword cultivator had been.

Her light blue dress swayed in the wind, making her appear exceptionally tall and slender. Her waist-length hair shimmered with a hazy blue light in the sunlight, like a dreamlike illusion.

She had been in this place of heritage for far too long, so she naturally knew how terrifying this news was.

Although she appeared very calm, she was unable to calm down inside.

A sword cultivator who was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm was able to defeat the Mountain-Shaking Demon King with his sword, a feat that was beyond comprehension.

You should know that the terrifying thing about those demon kings is not just their indestructible physical bodies.

They have been trapped here for countless years, surviving countless battles, and possess countless treasures, including celestial treasures.

Although the demon race cannot make the immortal treasures recognize their master and cannot unleash their true power, even if they only unleash 30% or 40% of their power, it is enough to annihilate a Nascent Soul Grand Perfection expert.

In addition, those demons possess various strange innate supernatural powers, each with earth-shattering power. If not dealt with carefully, they can be seriously injured or even killed.

Therefore, even though she possessed a celestial treasure that had voluntarily recognized her as its master, she could only rely on the city's defensive formation to deal with the demon king, rather than taking the initiative to attack and cause trouble for him outside.

The risk was simply too great; one wrong move and she could be annihilated, so she couldn't afford to be careless.

It can be said that the Demon King is the strongest being in the Land of Inheritance. No one dares to provoke him, and even those who can afford to provoke him do not want to.

But ironically, this powerful demon king was killed by a sword cultivator who had only recently arrived.

According to the description, the battle was extremely fierce. The Demon King of the Mountain Shaking went all out, but his physical body was still destroyed, and only his primordial spirit managed to escape.

A strange light flickered in Su Qian's eyes, and a sense of urgency rose in her heart.

She really wanted to see for herself who this sword cultivator was, how he managed to slay a demon king despite being of a higher level, and how he himself was not seriously injured.

This is simply unbelievable.

Of course, what she found even more unbelievable was that Zhuang Heng and the other person actually witnessed the other's physical breakthrough.

This is hundreds of times more outrageous than killing the Demon King!

This place of inheritance is bound by the rules of the Immortal Palace Spirit everywhere. No matter how strong they were before, they are now only at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm and cannot surpass it by even a little bit.

These are the rules of this place, and they must not be violated. Even immortals cannot resist them.

But that sword cultivator was not bound by the rules; he broke through his physical body and advanced to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage as soon as he arrived.

To be honest, she would never have believed such an absurd thing.

But ever since she saw the demon king's flesh and blood, and witnessed the sword intent and lightning within, as well as that trace of powerful blood and qi, she had no choice but to believe it.

That sword intent was incomparably sharp; even a trace of it could make her feel its unparalleled sharpness.

And that blue electric snake, even though it was so far away from its master, was still full of spirituality, spontaneously devouring the demon king's flesh and blood, which was extremely strange and powerful.

Such spirituality can only be achieved by those who have perfected the laws of thunder; in fact, they are only one step away from touching the very source of thunder.

That wisp of golden blood energy exuded an aura of a Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator that shook her to her core.

All of this points to the unusual nature of that sword cultivator.

Such a powerful being, since he was able to break through the constraints of the rules and forcibly kill a demon king, killing another demon king should not be difficult for him, right?

It's even possible that, if they cooperate properly, they could seize this opportunity to eliminate all the demon kings in this area and thus gain the chance to open the core of the celestial palace.

Besides, those demon kings will not give up easily, and it's only a matter of time before they join forces to attack.

At that point, we will either force them to hand over people and sue for peace, or we will directly raze the human cities and completely shatter the peace of this land of inheritance.

If the people are handed over, everything will return to the previous balance, with the human and demon races fighting and slowly waiting to die in this despairing land of inheritance.

If they don't hand over the weapons, it will be a desperate war that will result in heavy losses and massive casualties for both races.

However, at the same time, there will also be a chance to fight for a sliver of hope to escape the Celestial Palace.

"Could this Fellow Daoist Jiang be our only chance to escape this place?"

Su Qian murmured, then suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and hurriedly looked away.

"They've been discovered..."

She had just broken through the array barrier with her divine sense and glanced into the courtyard when she was slapped back, without even being able to see what was in the courtyard.

"That's really domineering."

Su Qian took a light breath, her interest in the mysterious swordsman growing even stronger. She then calmed herself and turned to look into the hall.

As far as the eye could see, two illusory figures slowly emerged in the hall; these were the consciousnesses of the current city lords of Fuguang and Nandong.

These two are also two other top-tier powerhouses who have been recognized as masters by the Immortal Treasure and can directly confront the Demon King.

Upon appearing, the two nodded to each other, then looked at Su Qian and asked solemnly:

"Fellow Daoist Su, why are you in such a hurry to summon us out of seclusion?"

"Fellow Daoists, the matter is urgent, so I won't waste any more words."

Su Qian took out the jade box, opened it, and tossed it in front of the two of them, saying:

"The Demon King of the Mountain Shattering Mountain has had his physical body destroyed and his primordial spirit severely injured, and he has fled. He will soon attack along with other demon kings."

This situation is extremely dangerous, but it is also the opportunity we have been waiting for for many years to escape. You two must quickly emerge from seclusion and join me to discuss how to break this deadlock.

Upon hearing this, the two men's expressions changed slightly, and they quickly took the jade box to examine it carefully.

"Judging from the aura of this flesh and blood, it is indeed the Demon King of the Mountain Shaking. The death aura on it is faint, indicating that it is on the verge of death but not quite dead, which is indeed a sign that its primordial spirit has left its body."

Fu Guang handed the jade box to Nan Dong, frowned, stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Fellow Daoist Su, please speak frankly. If it were just the death of a single Mountain-Shaking Demon King, it wouldn't be enough to cause the demon race to go to war, let alone provide any chance of escape."

"That's right, the death of one demon king is not enough to cause all twelve demon kings of the demon race to riot."

Su Qian nodded, but a slight smile appeared on her lips: "But what if I said that the cultivator who killed the Demon King of Hanshan was not subject to the rules of the Immortal Palace?"

……

Inside a separate courtyard of the city lord's mansion.

A cyan light shield descended, firmly protecting the entire courtyard. Electric sparks swirled across its surface, effectively blocking any prying eyes from the outside world.

Zhuang Heng paced back and forth outside the courtyard gate, his face grave and tinged with anxiety.

He originally intended to inform Senior Jiang of the city lord's arrangements, but not long after, the city lord sent another message, instructing him to bring Senior Jiang to pay his respects as soon as possible.

Logically, the city lord here should be the most powerful person. Upon receiving the news, he should immediately knock on the door and summon the visiting senior Jiang to come out of seclusion and meet him.

But after thinking it over, he still didn't dare to disturb Senior Jiang's rest. He could only suppress his nervousness and sit outside the courtyard gate to silently protect him, waiting for Senior Jiang to come out of seclusion before reporting back.

Senior Jiang dared to kill even the Demon King. Even though the City Lord was a Tribulation Transcending cultivator before, he is now only at the late Nascent Soul stage, and his strength is not much stronger than that of the Demon King.

To be honest, Zhuang Heng was really afraid that Senior Jiang might kill the city lord in a fit of anger.

Don't forget, this senior is suspected to be a demonic sword cultivator.
