Chapter 485: Chapter 276: All of these are ill-gotten gains, they should be confiscated!

The figure within the dark clouds was naturally the Demon Heart Old Monster.

Realizing that his only chance of survival was to seek out the Blood God Ancestor.

The Demon Heart Old Monster then summoned a Spiritual Treasure and rode upon the black clouds toward the Southern Desolate Islands.

Because the situation was urgent, he was almost at the point where his lamp was nearly out of oil.

He no longer had any spare mana or energy to remotely control the Spiritual Treasure.

Therefore, the commotion caused by his journey became unavoidably more prominent.

Passersby who saw him were startled and instinctively gave way, retreating hastily.

This saved him a bit of trouble.

But that was all.

The Demon Heart Old Monster felt that he was already being followed by several groups of spies from different sects.

It might not be long before some powerful Cultivators came to test him.

Fortunately, his destination was not far off.

The Demon Heart Old Monster had already seen the fluctuations of the sea’s Formation and the warnings.

Boom!

The Demon Heart Old Monster ignored the Immortal Boats frantically fleeing due to his arrival.

He rode the dark clouds straight into the protective range of the Formation.

This immediately triggered the Formation’s counterattack, as a bolt of Heavenly Thunder struck the dark clouds with a thunderous roar.

Then a tempestuous storm assailed him.

“This Formation’s might… is definitely not that of a Third Tier Formation!”

The Demon Heart Old Monster sensed the power of the grand Formation and his face slightly paled, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.

He had never imagined that these few islands in the Mortal World would be protected by a Fourth Tier Formation set up by the old ancestor himself!

The only silver lining was perhaps that neither the foundation nor the core nor the nodes of this Formation matched the requirements for a Fourth Tier Formation.

So its true power was not as terrifying as a Fourth Tier Guardian Array.

But to a standard Golden Core expert, they would probably have no choice but to retreat in dismay, while a Nascent Soul Ancestor would be obstructed for a while, affording the Southern Desolate Islands time to prepare or escape.

While thinking thus.

Roar! Roar, roar!

Amidst the storm, several thousand-meter-tall illusions emerged.

They were the avatars of the East Sea Dragon Monarch Ao Li, the Demon Emperor White Ape, and the Green-faced Bull Demon King–three illustrious Demon Emperors!

Seeing these three grand avatars.

The Demon Heart Old Monster’s face darkened, internally cursing the old ancestor for being too ruthless.

Did he have so much mana and resources to waste that he had to install such luxurious defenses in a place which was obviously an external branch?

On the decks of the fleeing Immortal Boats, the Cultivators who saw the immense illusions of the Demon Emperors on the sea.

Each of them cheered and looked at the avatars with envious eyes.

After all, in the current Immortal Cultivation World, aside from the Immortal Sects which possessed Divinity Transformation experts, the strongest individuals in other powers were just Nascent Soul Ancestors.

And they were exceedingly rare; most powers did not have a single one.

Yet, the Southern Desolate Islands had Nascent Soul experts appearing one after another, their presence an envy-inducing spectacle.

“Hold your attack!”

“Old Man has an urgent matter and seeks an audience with the Blood God Ancestor!”

The Demon Heart Old Monster was desperate; aside from spitting blood to send a message, he could only maneuver the black fog, dodging the attacks from the three avatars of the Demon Emperors constantly.

Luckily, these were just illusions, and the big Array couldn’t provide enough mana to support them.

Plus, the Demon Heart Old Monster’s Spiritual Treasure had quite a few tricks up its sleeve.

So, for the time being, he was able to dodge the attacks without ending up dead or destroyed.

At this time, Su Ping was leisurely drinking tea while listening to the report from Manager Dongfang.

Suddenly, he felt a premonition and heard the Demon Heart Old Monster’s howling.

Following this, Su Ping used the Memory Wand.

Immediately, Yun Kong, a Golden Core Realm Exorcism True Man, appeared and, riding a ten-meter-long Cold Ice Giant Sword, flew over there.

In a short while, the Demon Heart Old Monster was surrounded at the very center of the three grand illusions of the Demon Emperors, looking miserable as he awaited Yun Kong’s arrival.

Seeing the silver-haired youth, the Demon Heart Old Monster’s gaze flickered.

Even at his last gasp, the Demon Heart Old Monster’s eyesight remained sharp.

Aside from discerning that Exorcism True Man Yun Kong was of the Golden Core Realm, he also saw that the youth possessed extraordinary talent with mysterious and unfathomable methods.

Not to mention anything else, the chill emanating from the Cold Ice Giant Sword beneath his feet was far stronger than that of any old monsters specializing in chill energies he had ever encountered.

“No impression, unknown Sect background… he might come from the same source as that Blood God Ancestor, or perhaps is one of his disciples or nephews!”

A complex emotion spread within the Demon Heart Old Monster’s heart.

Fortunately, the evil Qi within him brought him back to his senses.

He hurriedly dispersed the black fog to reveal his true form, then gave a wry smile as he bowed and pleaded for help.

Su Ping naturally recognized the appearance of the Demon Heart Old Monster.

He hadn’t expected that not long ago, the old monster who had been so arrogant in front of him would now become so servile and fawning.

Su Ping actually preferred the Demon Heart Old Monster’s previously defiant demeanor.

To such a spontaneously approaching demon.

Su Ping naturally would not reject.

After instructing him to open his mind.

Blood light appeared in the sky, and then a giant hand stretched out from the heavens above, directly grabbing the Demon Heart Old Monster and pulling him into the Blood God Secret Realm.

After listening to Manager Dongfang’s report and giving his opinions on how to deal with the matters, Su Ping then turned and proceeded to the Blood God Secret Realm.

He saw the Demon Heart Old Monster, who was nearly dead and being eroded by evil Qi.

“Old Ancestor, save me, please!”

Seeing the arrival of the figure shrouded in blood light and knowing the main figure had arrived, the Demon Heart Old Monster quickly shouted out without any dignity.

At the same time, he also revealed some of his trump cards.

As the old ancestor of the Devil Heart Sect, the Demon Heart Old Monster naturally knew the locations of many Demon Path strongholds.

He also knew the hiding places of many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Most of these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were left untouched because of various constraints or because the time was not ripe for harvesting, leaving them preserved in their original locations, cloaked by hidden Formations.

Su Ping carefully examined the Demon Heart Old Monster’s physical condition.

Upon his inspection, it became clear that the curse within the Demon Heart Old Monster was not something any ordinary Evil God Avatar could inflict.

It seemed likely that what he had said was largely true.

But it didn’t matter if it was fake; he wouldn’t give it a chance to cause any trouble anyway.

“You can ask me for help,” he said.

“But… although death can be spared, living punishment cannot be avoided!”

“You shall become the guardian of my sect, sentenced to atone for your sins within the Sealing Demon Tower!”

“Are you willing?”

Su Ping was a sincere person, even facing a demon, he would make sure to clarify the terms beforehand.

The Demon Heart Old Monster looked at the Blood God Ancestor, his mouth twitching slightly, but still nodded his head repeatedly in agreement.

Did he have a choice now?

Atonement was harsh, but…wasn’t he still alive?

And as long as he was alive, there was always a chance!

After agreeing, the Demon Heart Old Monster opened his mind to accept Su Ping’s Blood Chains.

“Hm?”

Just as the Blood Chains bound the Divine Soul,

An anomaly occurred.

A phantom appeared.

It was that of the double-horned Demon God Statue, sitting cross-legged in the underground space.

“Vermin! Breaking the curse of the original being makes you an enemy in death!”

“You… should think carefully!”

“Heh, think carefully?”

“And who might you be?”

With a light chuckle, Su Ping felt the various auras and protective amulets on his body and calmly asked.

“I am the Seventh Divine Son!”

“This world you find so amusing is under my jurisdiction!”

The Seventh Son?

Su Ping recalled his interactions with the Evil God Avatars and fragments of information gleaned from the inheritance of the Ten Directions Sect.

He was aware that the ranking of the Evil God’s offspring wasn’t based on birth order but on strength.

With the Evil God’s children numbering in the hundreds, if not thousands, and all vying against each other,

being ranked seventh surely indicated formidable power.

It was possible he was the boss among those Evil God’s children who had invaded the Immortal Cultivation World,

which is why he could promise the Demon Sect’s secret Flying Boats a chance for escape.

But regardless of who the other party was,

Su Ping knew there was no possibility of cooperation between them.

After all, he was not about to betray his own world to be a lapdog for an Evil God, for what was likely just a chance to live a little longer!

In Su Ping’s view, these beings were filled with the wicked joy of toying with people’s hearts.

Giving hope, only to shatter it and then revel in the sight of intelligent life falling into the despair of extreme joy and sorrow, was likely one of their common tactics!

“Heh!”

“I’ve thought things through very clearly.”

“I have no interest in being a lapdog for an Evil God!”

Having said that, Su Ping unleashed the Greedy Wolf Divine Sense towards the phantom.

With a snap from the Greedy Wolf’s jaws, the illusion dissipated, leaving only the image of the third eye of the Demon God Statue suddenly shining brightly.

However… Su Ping felt that the Evil God himself seemed disadvantaged at the moment he glared at Su Ping!

Thereafter, Su Ping injected a Purification Potion charged with blood light into the Demon Heart Old Monster.

One bottle of Purification Potion only suppressed the Evil Qi, but it wasn’t entirely eradicated.

Su Ping wasn’t surprised by this.

The current Purification Potion was only fully effective against Third Tier.

Even if suppressed by the world, the opponent’s abilities likely reached Fourth Tier.

But it wasn’t a problem; as long as it was effective, it was extraordinary.

If one bottle wasn’t enough, then another would suffice.

At the price of ten Fishing Coins per bottle, it really didn’t mean much to the current Su Ping.

After three consecutive bottles of Purification Potion,

The Demon Heart Old Monster’s inner Evil Qi curse ran into trouble.

With a boom!

The curse exploded, letting out a roar of the Demon God Statue.

“Thank you, Old Ancestor, for saving my life!”

“From now on… I am at your disposal!”

The Demon Heart Old Monster kneeled down, even though he was extremely weak and his soul body was dull.

His expression, however, relaxed considerably.

The next second.

The Demon Heart Old Monster’s expression froze as the Blood Chains emerged on his body.

Then, with a shriek, Su Ping stuffed him into a Netherworld Ghost Body built with the remains of an Evil God, manifesting a double-winged Ghost God.

Subsequently, Su Ping inserted this qualified double-winged Ghost God into the ancient Sealing Demon Tower.

It became one of the energy sources for the ancient Sealing Demon Tower.

Only then did Su Ping slowly extract the remaining secrets the unwilling Demon Heart Old Monster harbored using the power of the Blood God.

“Tsk tsk tsk, the Demon Sect’s foundation is indeed profound.”

“This foundation can clearly be seen as having been amassed unscrupulously over thousands of years!”

“Now, it should rightfully be used by me, to save the now-riddled Immortal Cultivation World!”

Su Ping returned to the Southern Desolate Islands and summoned the four Demon Emperors under his command.

Afterward, he gave them the locations of the Demon Sect’s strongholds and treasure sites.

Dividing them into four areas, he assigned each to take charge of one.

The four Demon Emperors left upon receiving their orders, vanishing from Su Ping’s sight in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, Su Ping sat in the Southern Desolate Islands, with a Teleportation Talisman at the ready.

Should any of the Demon Emperors encounter an unforeseen situation they couldn’t handle,

Su Ping would be able to teleport immediately and give those who dared to prevent his appropriation of the Demon Sect’s ill-gotten wealth a big surprise!
