Chapter 1293: Punish Him for His Crimes
The Abyss of Despair had a total of 19 layers. Each layer was more terrifying than the last.
In ancient times, the human powerhouses in the Heavenly Rank had sealed the remnants of the Ancient Demons here. Countless years had passed since then.
The seal on the top of the abyss had gradually weakened. The Ancient Demons in the first few layers could have easily walked out a few years ago.
In the deepest part of the Abyss of Despair, countless Ancient Demons gathered in one place. These Ancient Demons were all in different forms. They were all powerhouses in the abyss and were at least in the law boundary.
There were many of them. If one looked carefully, there were at least hundreds of them.
All the Ancient Demons looked down devoutly. It was a blood pool. Below the blood pool was the path to the 19th layer of the abyss.
“Gulp, gulp, gulp…”
The bright red blood in the blood pool bubbled and made strange sounds.
Everyone’s spirits jolted, and they looked down excitedly.
They knew that the Demon King was coming out.
From the day they heard the news until now, more than 1,000 years had passed. Now, they had finally waited for this day to arrive.
The movements of the blood pool became louder. The air was filled with mist and the smell of blood. It was as if lime had been thrown into the clear water.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the pool.
After a while, the blood in the pool gradually decreased. At the bottom of the pool, a black claw stretched out.
There was no skin or flesh on the claw. It was like a skeleton.
Seeing this, all the Ancient Demons were shocked. They kneeled down at the same time and said in unison, “Greetings, Sir Demon King.”
Their voices were so loud that the entire abyss could hear them.
On the upper level of the abyss, countless Ancient Demons were ecstatic when they heard the voices.
Their Demon King was coming out. In other words, their bitter days were coming to an end.
After the seal had been broken for thousands of years, the Ancient Demons on top could have left a long time ago, but they did not dare to. In the beginning, every Ancient Demon that went out did not come back. What welcomed them was the fate of death. The powerhouses outside also knew the news, so they all camped on the Big Python Mountain. The Ancient Demons and the powerhouses outside had been fighting for thousands of years.
In the beginning, the Ancient Demons were naturally losing ground. The ones in the upper levels were weak, and their bloodline races were of low levels. In addition to the fact that the Abyss of Despair was barren, it was normal that they could not compare to the powerhouses from the outside world.
Only when the Ancient Demons from the lower levels came up did they manage to stand firm.
This was under the situation where the powerhouses from the outside world did not dare to come to the Abyss of Despair.
It was not until the powerhouses from those high-level races that could give birth to Rulers or even law-level powerhouses came out that their position became more stable bit by bit. They could even go out and search for some resources to bring back.
At this time, they had begun to infiltrate the outside world.
The Big Python Mountain had become not one piece of iron.
When an Ancient Demon with the second step of the law boundary appeared, they completely took advantage and occupied all the nearby areas.
The Ancient Demons avenged their previous humiliation and killed all the powerhouses who had once slaughtered their kind. It was also for this reason that He Mu and the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One were being hunted down.
Even though they had occupied the Big Python Mountain, the Ancient Demons were still a little worried. In the Great Wide World, there were strong powerhouses in the third step of the laws. If they attracted that kind of powerhouses, all of them might be killed. Now that the Demon King had appeared, there was no need to worry.
The skeleton in the blood pool finally came out. Flames danced in his eyes as he gradually flew into the sky. He looked at the Ancient Demons kneeling on the ground with satisfaction.
His claws gently clawed at the air. In an instant, flesh and blood began to grow on his body. In a short while, a tall and strong man in human form appeared in the air.
“I’m finally out!” The Demon King laughed loudly.
His laughter was penetrating and spread far and wide in the abyss. Upon hearing this voice, many Ancient Demons were overjoyed.
‘He’s finally out. Sir Demon King has come out.’
“Second Brother, come out as well.”
The big man stretched out his hand and punched out. The ground began to shake violently. The golden rune light in the blood pool dissipated, and a huge crack appeared in the pool. A tall and strong monster emerged from the pool. The monster’s fangs were very sharp, and his head was very big. It took up almost half of his body weight.
“Thank you, Big Brother!”
His voice was hoarse like the sound of a tree branch being dragged on the ground.
The big-headed monster stretched his muscles and bones and let out a long breath.
Unlike the outside world, there were many Ancient Demons in the other levels. They had probably experienced many generations. They could reproduce and continue to strengthen their race, but this was not the case at the 19th level.
There were only 2 of them here, and they were of the same sex and of different races.
These countless years, every day was a torment for them.
“I miss the taste of human blood!” The big-headed monster’s eyes were filled with nostalgia.
“Sir Demon King, we captured many humans on the Big Python Mountain outside. After you leave, you can enjoy them to your heart’s content,” an Ancient Demon in the second step said obsequiously.
“Good, good, good!” The big-headed Demon King’s eyes were filled with desire.
The big man who was transformed from a skeleton also moved the corners of his mouth. He had been holding it in for so many years.
Another Ancient Demon who had reached the law boundary walked out. He said with slight nervousness, “Sir Demon King, our people outside are in trouble.”
“What kind of trouble?” The Great Demon King asked in a deep voice.
He had just come out and was in a good mood. He did not take the trouble to heart.
The Ancient Demon hurriedly said, “Great King, the news just came from outside. A human powerhouse has come to the Big Python Mountain. “He killed General Jiao and killed a third of our guards and the spirit beasts that came to our side on the Big Python Mountain.”
“What? There’s such a thing?!” The other Ancient Demons were also shocked.
General Jiao was sent out by them. He was incredibly powerful and was already in the second step. Equal-ranked human powerhouses were no match for him. How could he suddenly die?
“Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
The Great Demon King’s gaze darkened as a wave of pressure fell on this Ancient Demon.
“There’s absolutely no mistake. I received the news from a trusted aide of our race. Now, our people in the Big Python Mountain have quietly hidden, afraid that that person will come back to take revenge. Besides, according to reliable information, that human has not only killed our kind but also taken their blood essences,” the Ancient Demon said in a panic.
“Damn it!” Hearing his subordinate’s reply, the Great Demon King coldly shouted.
The Ancient Demon who spoke was so frightened that he fell to the ground. The heavy pressure made it hard for him to breathe.
“Big Brother, we absolutely can’t let that human go. The person who took the Ancient Demons’ blood essences must die!” The big-headed Demon King’s eyes were filled with a fierce light.
“He must die!”
Everyone said in unison. Facing that human, all the Ancient Demons were united like never before.
“Come, let’s go out and see who’s so bold.” The Great Demon King punched out.
The seal was broken in an instant, and all the Ancient Demons regained their freedom and flew into the sky.
With that, their team grew stronger. Layers of Ancient Demons gathered, and the number had reached a limit.
In the distant Heaven’s Wall City.
Outside the gate of the Xiao family in the north of the city, a figure rushed in in a hurry.
“Young Lady is back!”
The servants in the courtyard saw Xiao Qingxuan who had returned from afar, and their eyes were filled with excitement.
“Young Lady Xiao, an important guest has come to our family!”
“An important guest? What important guest?” Xiao Qingxuan frowned slightly.
The Xiao family had been defeated, and her father was also seriously injured. Other than the governor, who was her uncle, there was no other important guest. If it were not for the sake of the governor, the Xiao family’s foundation in Heaven’s Wall City would have been completely divided.
“I heard that it’s a big shot from the main city. The governor is accompanying him. They asked to see you, Young Lady,” the servant said hurriedly.
Xiao Qingxuan did not know who came to find her, and she did not have the mood to think about this matter. She grabbed a servant girl and asked, “How’s my father’s injury?”
“Old Master’s injury is still the same, but Apothecary He has been coming over every day for the past few days. Old Master should be fine,” the servant girl told her everything she knew.
“I understand.” Xiao Qingxuan turned around and walked toward the backyard.
“Young Lady, aren’t you going to the living room?” The servant asked.
Xiao Qingxuan ignored them. She quickly walked to the backyard and pushed open an elegant door.
The room was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.
On the other side of the bed, a middle-aged man was lying there. The man’s body was thin, and his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.
Xiao Qingxuan’s nose was a little sour. She had only been away from home for a few days, and her father’s injury looked even more serious. At this moment, the man on the bed had lost his usual grace as if he had become a hunchbacked old man.
“Father!” Xiao Qingxuan walked to the side of the bed and called out softly.
The man lying on the bed heard this familiar voice and slowly opened his eyes. “Qingxuan, you’re back.”
Something seemed to have left his chaotic eyes.
These days, when he heard that his daughter had gone out to look for medicine for him, Xiao Baili had been very worried. Now that he saw that his daughter had returned safely, the heavy burden in his heart gradually eased.
Looking at the tears in his daughter’s eyes, he thought that his daughter was blaming herself for not finding the medicine.
He held Xiao Qingxuan’s hand and said, “Qingxuan, you don’t have to be sad. The Violet Herb is a Grade 7 spiritual medicine, how can it be so easy to find it? Besides, didn’t Apothecary He say that even if it’s found, it would at most save my life? If I become a cripple, there’s no meaning to my life. I might as well just die.”
“Father, don’t talk nonsense!” Xiao Qingxuan covered her father’s mouth and said, “I’ve already found the Violet Herb. You’ll be fine.”
As she spoke, Xiao Qingxuan tapped her interspatial bag, and a handful of Violet Herbs appeared in her hand. “Father, look, these are all Violet Herbs.”
“How can there be so many? Where did you get them…”
Xiao Baili’s eyes were filled with shock. The Violet Herb was precious and priceless. The Xiao family could not buy one with their entire savings, yet there were so many in his daughter’s hands at the moment.
Xiao Qingxuan’s eyes were filled with memories. “Father, I met a noble on this trip. I’ll tell you when you’re better.”
She put the Violet Herbs aside and walked out of the room.
Afterward, she called a servant over and said, “Hurry up and invite Apothecary He over.”
