Chapter 749: Chapter 750: Nine Nether Lock

This hoarse voice was distinctly abnormal. Chu Fengmian knew that the sound was intentionally cultivated.

Weaker martial artists who heard this voice would immediately feel dizzy and swollen-headed. Even if it didn’t kill them, it would drive them insane.

However, personalities like the Blood Demon Venerable had reached the pinnacle of life and death realms. They only felt some discomfort upon hearing this voice but were not too affected.

The three of them entered the palace together.

The palace was immense. It looked vast from the outside, but inside, its true scale was revealed; it spanned for dozens of miles, a vast, independent space.

Once upon a time, the Yunyu Heavenly Palace was unquestionably a peak force among the Nine Domains. A single palace was capable of establishing a world of its own.

At the very center of this palace was an extremely tall throne. A silhouette was seated right there.

This person’s identity required no thought, for he was the first among all disciples of the Ground Demon Sect — the Soul-locking Demon Venerable.

As Chu Fengmian looked at the Soul-locking Demon Venerable, the latter’s eyes also swept across the three people present.

With an icy and piercing gaze, the Soul-locking Demon Venerable had eyes clear enough to seemingly peer through anyone’s facade and discern all their secrets.

It was evident that the Soul-locking Demon Venerable had also specialized in a unique cultivation technique.

His gaze lingered on Chu Fengmian for a moment before moving to the Blood Demon Venerable.

"What exactly happened, Blood?" the Soul-locking Demon Venerable asked, his voice filled with supreme authority that caused the Blood Demon Venerable’s body to tremble slightly. He hurriedly responded.

"Reporting to elder brother Soul-locking, I encountered a strange kid while searching for treasures outside. This kid must be a newcomer who just entered the Divine Domain of Tianyu. I intended to capture him and present him to you, elder brother. But unexpectedly, his strength was immense; I was not his match."

The Blood Demon Venerable described the encounter vividly.

"Afterward, I sent out the Jade Talisman, and Kill Crazy and Mad Demon dared to come. The three of us surrounded him but were still no match for the kid. The Spirit Sword in his hand was incredibly sharp; we were far from his opponents. Later, Mad Demon was slain, and I, along with Kill Crazy, had no choice but to flee back here."

While speaking, the Blood Demon Venerable also showed his chest wound to prove his words.

"A Spirit Sword? Based on your description, this person seems to have obtained the inheritance from the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s cave. Could that Spirit Sword be the Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword?" the Soul-locking Demon Venerable pondered, greed surfacing in his eyes.

"The Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword, a treasure of the dragon lineage, is not just a heavenly Spiritual Artifact, but also among the highest tier of countless heavenly Spiritual Artifacts."

"In the Ruins of the Heavens, one may not even come across such a treasure. For a mere youngster to possess it is truly too wasteful. Let’s go. I shall slay him and seize the Spirit Sword!"

The Soul-locking Demon Venerable abruptly stood up from the throne. His figure was imposing, reaching three to four meters tall, and as he stood, he towered over everyone.

"Blood, Kill Crazy, Mistuned, before that, come with me. A distinguished guest has arrived at our Nine Demon City. You shall accompany me to meet them."

Having said that, the Soul-locking Demon Venerable walked towards the depths of the palace, leaving the three behind.

"My lord, I do not know what secrets are hidden in the depths of the Soul-locking Demon Venerable’s palace. It could potentially be dangerous. What should we do?" the Blood Demon Venerable sent a secret transmission to Chu Fengmian in haste.

"It’s fine; just go in. Anyway, I was already planning to deal with the Soul-locking Demon Venerable. No matter what he intends to do, I’ll ensure he has no place to be buried!" Chu Fengmian replied calmly. Without hesitation, he walked towards the depths of the palace.

The palace spanned over several kilometers. Without the ability to use their escape techniques, the three of them walked step by step, which took some time.

"Boom!"

Just as darkness began to envelop Chu Fengmian’s surroundings.

Suddenly, countless prohibitions appeared all around the three of them, targeting none other than Chu Fengmian and Blood Demon Venerable.

As for Mistuned Demon Venerable, he had long since retreated, seemingly well-prepared, leaving only the two of them caught in the midst of these traps.

"Soul-locking Elder Brother, what’s happening?"

Chu Fengmian, maintaining his composure, asked with some surprise.

"Chu Fengmian, there’s no need for you to continue your facade. Your disguise might fool others, but it could never deceive me."

Just as Chu Fengmian spoke, a mocking voice suddenly rang out.

Out of the darkness, a young figure unexpectedly appeared, seated within a luxurious carriage.

Standing before him was the Soul-locking Demon Lord, now showing great respect and acting as the young figure’s coachman.

"Young Demon Lord?"

Surprise flickered across Chu Fengmian’s face, and then he stopped concealing his identity, transforming back to his real appearance as he spoke.

"I didn’t expect you to arrive so quickly."

This young figure was precisely the Young Demon Lord.

Apparently, all of this was orchestrated by the Young Demon Lord himself.

"It was merely good timing, almost letting you slip into our Nine Demon City."

The Young Demon Lord looked at Chu Fengmian with a slight smirk on his face.

"You’re rather bold, daring to come alone into our Nine Demon City. Now you’ve walked right into the net."

"Young Demon Lord is wise; I did not see through this junior’s disguise."

Soul-locking Demon Lord looked at Chu Fengmian, a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"They say this man opposes the Young Demon Lord outside. Now I shall kill him and rid the Young Demon Lord of a nuisance."

"Young Master? What should we do?"

Panic crept onto the face of the Blood Demon Venerable.

Originally, their plan was to approach the Soul-locking Demon Lord and catch him off guard with a sudden strike, aiming to obliterate him.

But now, it was Chu Fengmian who had fallen into the trap.

"Young Master? Blood, you trash, you dare betray our Nine Demon City? All who dare betray Nine Demon City have only one fate—death!"

As he spoke, Soul-locking Demon Lord suddenly made his move. From the palm of his hand, a pitch-black iron chain appeared, and with a violent snap, it lashed towards Blood Demon Venerable.

On the edge of this dark chain was a hook that seemed capable of ripping the soul from any martial artist.

"Nine Nether Lock!"

The face of Blood Demon Venerable paled considerably. Soul-locking Demon Lord had not hesitated to use his celestial grade spiritual artifact, the Nine Nether Lock.

The Nine Nether Lock did not confine the physical body but targeted the soul. No matter how strong the physical power, it was meaningless before the Nine Nether Lock; resistance was futile.

Blood Demon Venerable retreated repeatedly, but the Nine Nether Lock relentlessly pursued him.

"You plan to kill under my watch? Ridiculous!"

Standing aside, Chu Fengmian suddenly let out a cold snort.
