Chapter 742: The Obsidian Demon King

"I’m afraid you have no chance," a magnetic and gentle voice stopped them from moving.

"Who?!" The two Demon Sorcerers looked around warily.

These demons were born with extremely powerful abilities and senses; how could they not detect the presence of these individuals?

"Ohh... your tone is quite bold, Ice Wing Angel Beast!" The Demon King didn’t seem to be surprised by their sudden appearance. He was able to see through Zhiyi’s identity at a glance.

He didn’t take them seriously. As long as he wanted, this entire planet could be destroyed. But he didn’t want to ruin his plans just yet.

He needed power, and to do that, he needed to collect all the ancient relics left by their predecessors to protect the next generation. This was why he captured humans alive and only killed those he found annoying.

"Hmm? A Divinity Ice Phoenix? Such a rare race gathered here working together; I wonder when I, this King, achieved such an honor?" Although his words sounded like praise, the tone of mockery was unmistakable.

Bing Xue’s angelic face bore a faint expression, while Zhiyi’s gorgeous face was adorned with an enigmatic smile.

"Let me guess, your arrival has something to do with those humans who just left?" The Demon King rubbed his chin. He had completely ignored the presence of Shenlian Yingzhu and Jun Mu Yang from the start.

Unfortunately, both of them wore masks and cloaks, so their figures and identities remained unknown to this demon.

"You demons are quite clever yet foolish at the same time," Zhiyi said, a soft smile flashing across his face.

The demons’ faces twitched in response. How could this man insult them with such a gentle smile and warm tone?

"Hmm, instead of protecting those useless humans, you come here instead. Aren’t you afraid that I might send someone to kill them on their way?" The Demon King laughed darkly.

"You have that ability?" Bing Xue asked with feigned doubt. His angelic face remained innocent, and his aura was clean, yet his poisonous question struck the Demon King like a sharp arrow.

"Bang!!" The normally composed Demon King was furious. He glanced at them, and the ground beneath them cracked as many strange and sharp gems emerged from the air.

If the four of them dodged too late, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Obsidian Demon King, is this what you can do?" Jun Mu Yang leaned against the wall and smiled lightly.

"How do you know my identity?" The Obsidian Demon King was not only shocked, but the two Demon Sorcerers were frightened as well.

No one, except the demon race in the Demon Realm, knew the identities of the Demon Kings and Demon Princes because all demons were born with different talents and powers. They were granted various titles that matched their abilities.

Those Demon Kings and Princes rarely revealed themselves or their powers in public, especially to humans. They had powerful minions to serve them, so why bother to show up?

They despised revealing their true powers to humans; even immortals were unaware of their identities. Whenever the Demon Kings or Princes appeared, their subordinates merely referred to them as ’King.’

Shenlian Yinzhu was too lazy to speak to them, so he directly signaled everyone to act quickly. He didn’t feel at ease leaving Yue’er behind.

His anxiety mirrored that of the three men present. They had become increasingly attached to her in recent days.

Impossible! That person had been dead a long time ago, how could he be alive? And even if he were alive, he couldn’t possibly appear on such a low-level planet.

Shenlian Yinzhu didn’t allow the Demon King time to ponder his identity. He joined forces with Jun Mu Yang to confront the Demon King.

Zhiyi and Bing Xue fought against the two Demon Sorcerers.

"Incarcerate!" Shenlian Yinzhu’s mesmerizing eyes narrowed as he whispered quietly.

The plan failed! The expression on the Obsidian Demon King’s face changed. Before he could inform anyone, his body was tightly imprisoned by Shenlian Yinzhu’s spell.

"The demons have caused great havoc in the Mortal Realm, inflicting significant losses on humanity, killing indiscriminately, and forcing us to surrender the ancient relics left to us by our ancestors," said the ancestor of the Wang clan, clenching his fist.

Wang Pei Zhi, who listened to his ancestor’s words, felt a chill. He comforted his mother, who held his hand tightly as she looked around.

Patriarch Wang gently rested his hand on her shoulders.

"Those who refuse to comply will be taken captive and tortured by them. Those who submit will become slaves to the evildoers," he continued.

"Our ancestors fell victim to their plots: some were imprisoned in caves, some poisoned by demons, while others were killed by the Demon King for risking their lives to send their descendants and people to safety and refused to give them the ancient relics."
