Chapter 748: Chapter 749: Infiltrating the Demon’s Lair

More and more martial artists were now flocking to the Divine Domain of Tian Yu.

Although the strength of these martial artists could not compare to those who had been cultivating in the Divine Domain of Tian Yu for years,

this was still an influential force that should not be underestimated.

Take Pan Chun, for instance, his strength was close to that of the Blood Demon Venerable, but when it came to innate talent, Pan Chun far surpassed the Blood Demon Venerable.

This meant that should Pan Chun encounter some fortuitous adventures in the Divine Domain of Tian Yu, his strength could instantly surpass that of the Blood Demon Venerable and even rival that of many established powerhouses.

Even the lesser Demon Lord, whose talent was above Pan Chun’s, with access to some resources, could soar to incredible heights.

And in the Divine Domain of Tian Yu, what were never lacking were resources.

For martial artists like the Blood Demon Venerable, with average talents, to reach their current level of strength indicated that the true geniuses could potentially grow into even more terrifying existences.

"En?"

The lesser Demon Lord stood still on the ground, motionless, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, led the disciples of the Nine Demon City directly towards the mountains.

Pan Chun and the disciples of the Holy King Sect did the same, entering the mountain range one after another.

The Divine Domain of Tian Yu, which had been quiet for three years, was now bustling with activity once again.

However, at the moment, Chu Fengmian paid no heed to these people. He had transformed into the appearance of the Killing Mad Demon Venerable and, along with the Blood Demon Venerable, was heading towards the stronghold of the Nine Demon City forces.

In the Divine Domain of Tian Yu, the forces were divided, with countless factions like the Nine Demon City standing uniquely on their own.

All the disciples of the Nine Demon City were inducted, joining hands with each other to face enemies would assure much more safety.

Just like outside, disciples from the seven major sects and even those from powerful forces would choose to band together.

In contrast, it was rare for someone like Chu Fengmian to be alone. His trustworthy Yue Li, after arriving in the Divine Domain, had disappeared without a trace.

The vastness of the Divine Domain was comparable to any other realm, and finding one person in it was almost as difficult as finding a needle in the ocean.

"Young master, ahead of us is the gathering place of the disciples of the Nine Demon City,"

The Blood Demon Venerable suddenly said as they came to a mountain peak.

In front of them stood an incredibly tall mountain peak, on which countless palaces were built.

These palaces appeared very ancient and were clearly built by the Yun Yu Palace in the past.

As they approached these palaces, Chu Feng could feel a demonic aura emanating from the edge of the mountain, with approximately seven or eight presences within it.

The strongest of these presences was more formidable than any martial artist Chu Feng had encountered in the Divine Domain.

The owner of this presence should be the most powerful of the disciples from the Demonic Sect, the Soul-locking Demon Venerable.

"Young master, be careful. The Soul-locking Demon Venerable has mastered his demonic power, which is more than enough to assassinate one’s soul. His heavenly Spiritual Artifact, the Nine Nether Lock, is said to be able to lock down the Nine Nethers. Any martial artist seized by the Nine Nether Lock would be controlled by the Soul-locking Demon Venerable,"

The Blood Demon Venerable warned.

The Soul-locking Technique, among numerous demonic powers, was notoriously bizarre and difficult to defend against.

"The Soul-locking Technique?"

Chu Feng’s eyes flashed with understanding. He was well aware of the fearsome power of the Soul-locking Technique, which could seize control of an unprepared martial artist almost instantly.

Fortunately, having lived through two lifetimes, Chu Feng’s soul was much more tenacious than anyone else’s. Even though the Soul-locking Technique was frightening, as long as he was well-prepared, Chu Feng could easily deal with it.

"Blood Demon, Killing Mad, why have you two returned?"

While the two were conversing, a figure suddenly descended from the mountain peak. On seeing Chu Fengmian and the Blood Demon Venerable, he greeted them.

This was a man in black, with eyes so profound that anyone who made eye contact seemed as if they could be bewitched by his gaze.

"This is the Mistuned Demon Venerable. His eyes are the supreme demonic eyes, and those who meet his gaze could very well be directly controlled,"

the Blood Demon Venerable warned Chu Fengmian in a quiet voice.

"Mistuned, if you do not wish to die, put away your supreme demonic eyes,"

Chu Fengmian rebuked coldly after hearing the words of the Blood Demon Venerable.

That domineering aura was exactly like the Killing Mad Demon Venerable.

The Killing Mad Demon Venerable’s nature was one of extreme arrogance. If Chu Fengmian appeared too gentle, it would not resemble the Killing Mad Demon Venerable.

"Brother Killing Mad, no offense. Sometimes even I can’t control these demonic eyes, but I will suppress them right now,"

the Mistuned Demon Venerable said with a flicker in his eyes, immediately responding with an apologetic smile.

His eyes gradually returned to a normal appearance, and Chu Fengmian’s expression eased slightly.

"Blood, didn’t you say you encountered a newcomer? Where is he? Did you kill him? And where has the mad demon gone?"

asked the Mistuned Demon Venerable, looking at the Blood Demon Venerable.

"I was just about to report to Brother Soul-locking that this newcomer’s strength is extremely formidable. The three of us together were no match for him, and even the mad demon met his end at this person’s hands,"

the Blood Demon Venerable said with some embarrassment.

"I must relay this news to Brother Soul-locking with utmost urgency."

"What? The mad demon is dead? A newcomer managed to defeat the three of you working together?"

The Mistuned Demon Venerable expressed surprise on his face, seemingly in disbelief as he spoke.

"How could a newcomer possess such strength?"

The Mistuned Demon Venerable’s eyes shifted as he spoke.

"Since the mad demon is dead, this matter is of great importance. I will accompany you to see Brother Soul-locking."

"Very well."

The Blood Demon Venerable glanced at Chu Fengmian’s expression, and upon seeing Chu Fengmian silently nod, he said,

"Let’s go together."

With that, the Mistuned Demon Venerable moved to the side, joining the Blood Demon Venerable and Chu Fengmian as they ascended the mountain peak.

Atop this peak were more than a dozen palaces, each serving as the dwelling for a disciple of the Nine Demons City.

The most majestic and magnificent of these palaces belonged to the Soul-locking Demon Venerable.

"Brother Soul-locking, Blood, Mistuned, and Killing Mad request an audience,"

the Blood Demon Venerable spoke respectfully outside the palace.

Brother Soul-locking’s status among all the disciples of the Nine Demons City was exalted, and nobody dared to offend his authority.

Just like other disciples of the Nine Demons City who addressed each other by their titles, they had to add "Brother" when referring to the Soul-locking Demon Venerable.

"Come in."

A hoarse voice suddenly emanated from inside the palace, a sound so grating that it caused a dizzying headache to those who heard it.
