As this terrifying voice suddenly exploded.

The entire Taotian Palace was suddenly like a pot that had been overturned, with countless disciples startled awake from their cultivation, looking around in shock. Only then did they realize that the previously clear sky had suddenly become shrouded in a layer of black mist.

"What is happening?"

"Who is wreaking havoc in the Taotian Palace..."

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Countless weapons were swiftly drawn.

"What is that?"

Soon enough.

They discovered.

The entire Taotian Palace had been surrounded, countless demons surging like a tidal wave, madly coming from all directions. At a glance, they seemed endless, tens of thousands of demon troops, and even half-man, half-eagle creatures hovering in the sky...

Hearing the noise, Ye Qingchen, who rushed out from the main hall, also saw this terrifying scene.

"What is this?"

Qin Wentian and Kong Shun followed out, exclaimed with shocked faces.

"These are the demons from Netherworld Mountain, why are they appearing here... and in such numbers? How dare they attack the Taotian Palace?" Ye Qingchen squinted his eyes.

"Someone is controlling them!"

Qin Wentian, with higher cultivation, could naturally see the surrounding situation clearly, not only was the entire Taotian Palace surrounded, but even the foot of the mountain was full of dense figures of demons.

Within these demons, there were evidently a few even more powerful presences.

Clearly.

It was these beings that were controlling these demons!

Someone controlling them?

Ye Qingchen's heart shook.

He recalled, he had clearly already slain the Jiao Demon King in Netherworld Mountain. Could it be the other demons coming for revenge?

As soon as this thought emerged.

He saw the demons outside the Taotian Palace suddenly disperse like water, and a massive demon with a tiger head and human body strode forward.

The surrounding demons, seeing this, all prostrated themselves. This posture clearly indicated its status!

"Ye Qingchen, we've been looking for you for a long time! I am the Tiger Demon King!"

The figure stepped out from among the demons, its voice booming like thunder. Ordinary disciples felt as if their eardrums were being torn and quickly covered their ears.

As soon as the words fell.

Another commotion arose from the demon crowd, and a new Demon King appeared. This Demon King was a giant demon ape, three feet long, walking with thundering noise like a small mountain.

"I am the Ape Demon King! You are not going anywhere today!" The ape demon laughed wildly as it appeared.

"Indeed, indeed... You killed the Jiao Demon King, and you think you can leave, leave your life here today!" Another voice echoed from the sky.

A half-man, half-eagle demon soared in mid-air. Its eyes glared through the black mist, almost turning into substance, threatening to tear the mist apart.

Three Demon Kings!

The disciples of Taotian Palace were all aghast at this sight. These Demon Kings were all in the third or fourth level of the Profound Pill Realm, while they were only in the True Qi Realm, even facing them took immense courage.

Qin Wentian also raised an eyebrow.

He had naturally heard Ye Qingchen's recount of the Netherworld Mountain events. He thought that after Ye Qingchen killed the Jiao Demon King, the matter was settled. But he never imagined that these demons would be so bold as to dare attack Taotian Palace!

Ye Qingchen squinted his eyes as well.

However.

At this moment, another gigantic figure appeared. It was a lion-headed, human-bodied demon, its upper body bare, muscles bulging as if full of explosive power.

"I am the Lion Demon King!"

Four Demon Kings!

Everyone felt another heavy weight in their hearts.

However.

Before they could accept this reality, the demon crowd stirred again.

"More coming?"

Everyone's eyes widened.

They saw.

Three more Demon Kings stepping forward, one with a leopard head and human body, another half-man, half-vulture, and one with a turtle head and snake tail!

A total of seven Demon Kings!

Yet.

Surprisingly.

After these seven Demon Kings appeared, they did not charge forward as everyone expected. Instead, they stood respectfully on both sides, as if waiting for some greater figure to arrive.

"Could it be even more?"

Ye Qingchen's eyes flashed with sharpness, "Are they waiting for the mastermind from Abyssal Valley of Tongxuan Continent?"

Apart from this person.

Ye Qingchen couldn't think of anyone else who could command so many demons to lay siege to Taotian Palace.

Qin Wentian squinted his eyes.

Kong Shun furrowed his brows.

The many disciples of Taotian Palace all widened their eyes, looking ahead.

And they saw.

Indeed.

Among the tide of demons, a figure was slowly walking out. This figure was slightly thin, draped in a large cloak that not only concealed the body but also hid the face.

He slowly walked out and stood still.

"Are you the one leading these demons to attack our Taotian Palace?" Qin Wentian coldly shouted.

The Taotian Palace had just been established not long ago.

If it were the former Taotian Palace, these demons wouldn't have been able to reach the mountain, they would have been annihilated before nearing Taotian Peak.

However.

The man in black did not answer. Under the cloak, his eyes shone with a mocking light:

"Ye Qingchen, Kong Shun, Qin Wentian, I didn't expect us to meet again!"

Upon hearing this voice.

The three of them felt a shock in their hearts, their eyes showing disbelief.

They saw.

The black-clothed man removed his cloak, revealing a familiar face.

"How is this possible!"

Kong Shun exclaimed.

This man in black was none other than Mu Shanhe, who had long been dead!

"You are still alive?"

Ye Qingchen couldn't believe it either.

Mu Shanhe, whom he had personally killed, clearly had all signs of life extinguished. How could he still be alive?

The current problem was, the man was not only alive but appeared before them, and had even led a demon army to attack Taotian Palace directly!

What on earth was going on?

Could it be.

This Mu Shanhe is the mastermind behind Netherworld Mountain?

Could it be.

This Mu Shanhe has some connection with the Abyssal Valley of Tongxuan Continent?

However.

There was no more time for Ye Qingchen to ponder these questions.

"You didn't expect this, did you! I am still alive!"

Mu Shanhe laughed wildly, all his pent-up anger dissipating as he laughed.

Simultaneously, a chilling light glinted in his eyes, his gaze fixed fiercely on Ye Qingchen: "You ruined my reputation, you caused my death! Now I have returned from Hell!"

"Originally, I planned to complete my master's resurrection plan, then come for you all. But I didn't expect you to kill the Jiao Demon King! Since that's the case, let's settle both old and new scores today!"

"Not just you, but you, Kong Shun, and Qin Wentian... none of you will escape!"

"I will wash away my hatred with your blood!"

Bang!

The moment his words ended.

He waved his hand.

Instantly.

Demonic flames surged like a tide! Demons danced wildly!
