If he had known this earlier, he wouldnât have waged a war against the Heavenly Court.
The Great Demon Venerateâs expression was grim. When he thought of what would happen to him next, his heart sank. He waved his hand and collected all the loot. Just when he was about to leave, a boisterous laughter erupted.
âHahaha!â As the laughter wafted into his ears, the Great Demon Concubine appeared out of thin air. She gazed at the Great Demon Venerate and said, her voice filled with manic, âThis isnât what youâve expected, right, Tian Mo? You took advantage of me and set me up, and what now? Even though youâve won the war, you lost everything!â
âIâve killed the Heavenly Emperor!â The Great Demon Venerate said, his voice cold, âCome back with me to the Abyss.â
âAre you serious? You want me to go back there with you?â The Great Demon Concubine snorted, âDo you think you can return to the Abyss today?â
âDonât you forget that youâre my wife. Youâre Yu Fei of the Abyss, the named disciple of the Saint Demon Lord as well as the one who is admired by the countless Abyss Demons.â The Great Demon Venerate said, his face grim.
âHahaha!â The Great Demon Concubine let out another laugh. After a short while, she stopped laughing as her face contorted into a grotesque expression. âTian Mo, I canât believe that youâre talking about the Abyss to me right now. Do you know how many worlds youâve sacrificed so that you can get what you want and sanctify your Dao? Youâve exhausted the energy of the Abyss and youâll receive severe repercussions because of that! Besides, thereâs a possibility that the Abyss will never be able to heal from its damage and forever be gone from everyoneâs sight! But these are fine. At the very least, the residents in the Abyss can still survive, but you⦠you had to draw power from the origin of the Abyss to attack the Heavenly Emperor!
âThe Abyss has lost a portion of its origin, youâre going to get severe repercussions, the Demon Slaying Order, and the curse the Heavenly Emperor put on you before he died.
âTian Mo, do you really think you can walk out of here alive?
âYouâve brought doom to the Abyss!
âTian Mo, if you still regard yourself as a member of the Abyss, if you still have the pride of a Great Demon Venerate, then hand over the Holy Weapon to me and let me end your life!â The Great Demon Concubine said.
âYou want to kill me?â The Great Demon Venerateâs face was filled with rage. âI know what you want! You want to become the Heavenly Emperor! Not a single chance!â
âNot a single chance? I donât think so.â
No sooner had the imposing voice rang out than a golden dragon descended from the horizon of the sky. It arrived in front of them in a blink of an eye and transformed into an old man wearing a dark gold robe.
âThe Heavenly Emperor has given his order at the last moment of his life. As long as we kill you, we can become the Heavenly Emperor,â the old man said as he offered a grin at the Great Demon Concubine. After that, he continued, âIf Yu Fei kills you, we from the Dragon Clan will do our utmost effort to help her to become the Heavenly Emperor.â
âAo Jin, do you really want to go against the Abyss?â The Great Demon Venerate said.
He was familiar with Ao Jin. He was the second strongest of the dragon clan. He was in the middle stage of the Quasi-Sage Realm, and he was strong.
He also knew that he had slept with his wife as well.
When the thought surfaced in his mind, his face grew even darker.
âCould it be that she really wants to kill me? Then sheâll become the Heavenly Emperor with the help of the people she has slept with before?â
âTian Mo, you canât represent the Abyss anymore,â the Great Demon Concubine chuckled.
âYes, sheâs right. You canât represent the Abyss anymore,â Ao Jin chimed in, âTian Mo, no one is going to stand on your side now.â
He turned his head around and looked at Venerable Chang Sheng. âMy old friend, even though you owe the Great Demon Venerate a favor, Iâm sure youâve done enough. You nearly lost your life and you almost lost all of your cultivation. Why donât you leave now and recuperate?â
Venerable Chang Shengâs face was grim.
There were 12 of them in the beginning. However, all of them were dead, and he was the only one left.
Although his heart was filled with fear, he was angry as well.
In the past, the Great Demon Venerate guaranteed them that they would win the war. They would kill the Heavenly Emperor and rule over the universe.
But what happened now? Even though they had successfully killed the Heavenly Emperor, they were on the verge of destruction themselves as well.
âTian Mo, Iâve paid you back what I owe you!â Venerable Chang Sheng said, âWeâre even now. Farewell!â
As soon as he had finished speaking, he tore the void open and jumped into it.
The Great Demon Venerate did not stop him from leaving.
âBlack-Hearted!â Yu Fei looked toward Black-Hearted Old Demon. âAre you sure you want to keep following Tian Mo? My door is always open to you!â
âWellâ¦â Black-Hearted Old Demon hesitated for a moment.
âYour door? Are you talking about the door on top or the door down there? You b*tch, youâve seduced me several times in the past, but I didnât let it happen. And youâre still seducing me now? Do you really think Iâm a pushover? I shall show you what Iâm made of soon enough!â
When the thought surfaced in his head, he scanned the surroundings. He could sense that there were a lot of people hiding in the dark, waiting for their moment to strike at them. He knew there was nothing they could do to turn the tide around. Therefore, he sighed, âPeople always say that those who suit their actions to the time are wise. As demons, we donât talk about affection or friendship, only about benefits. The Great Demon Venerate, under your leadership, instead of seeing the Abyss stronger, I have seen the Abyss fall into a land of despair, and even in the future, the Abyss will become a desert of death. For the sake of the Abyss as well as for the sake of thousands of demons, please forgive me!â
He turned around and stood beside the Great Demon Concubine.
The corner of the Great Demon Concubineâs lips curled upward as she chuckled, âTian Mo, no one is standing on your side anymore. Hand me over the Holy Weapon. Since youâre my husband, I can grant you a painless death!â
Black-Hearted Old Demon did not say anything, while Ao Jin just looked at them with amusement on his face.
The Great Demon Venerateâs expression was dark. He was not surprised at Venerable Chang Seng and Black-Hearted Old Demonâs decision. He did not ask them to stay. Instead, he lifted his head and announced, âCome on out. Let me see whoâs after my life.â
âAmitabha!â A golden lotus appeared from thin air. There was a long-eared Buddha sitting on top of it. He was none other than the Laughing Buddha, who was highly respectable amongst the Fo Sect and was extremely powerful.
He exuded a great amount of golden light and there was pink-colored mist amongst the golden light.
As soon as he appeared, he pointed at the Great Demon Venerate and said, âTian Mo, youâve destroyed countless worlds and killed countless people. Not only that, but youâve brought irrevocable damage to the Heavenly Realm and the Abyss. Your crimes are beyond redemption. If you donât die today, many fallen souls wonât be able to rest in peace!â
âIndeed!â Another voice appeared. A sword energy emerged in the distance. It pierced through the void, and a young man stepped out of it.
There was a long sword on his back and he was walking with his hands clasped behind him.
He was the famous supreme elder of the Taishang Sword Sect, Tai Jian.
âTian Mo, you need to die today to comfort those fallen souls!â Tian Jian flicked his finger and the sound of the sword resounded in the void.
âThatâs right!â A plume of fire appeared and transformed into a woman in red clothes.
She was wearing a red dress and her hair was red. She looked just like a plume of walking fire in the distance.
She was the current leader of the Demon Holy Palace, Vermilion Bird.
The corner of the Great Demon Venerateâs lips curled sarcastically.
These people were not the only ones who came for his life. There were a lot more, and all of them were still hiding in the dark, waiting for their chance to pounce at him.
âVermilion Bird, you shouldnât have come,â the Great Demon Venerate said.
âWhy?â Vermilion Bird frowned.
âAo Jin, Tai Jian, Laughing Buddha⦠All of them have slept with Yu Fei before,â the Great Demon Venerate said, âCould it be that youâve slept with her before too?â
He had decided to throw everything to the wind now.
Reputation? Dignity? Screw them!
Vermillion Bird was stunned for a moment before she harrumphed coldly, âI know what youâre trying to do, but it wonât work on me. Iâve underestimated you in the past. I didnât expect that you would expose something like that. Are you still a man or not?â
âHe isnât a man. Heâs just a baby carrot!â Yu Fei chimed in.
Vermillion Bird did not know what to say.
Ao Jin, Tai Jian, and Laughing Buddha were dumbfounded and the corner of their lips quivered.
They all did not expect that Yu Fei would admit it openly. They all thought that she would at least try to say something to reject it, and now, everyone knew that they had slept with her before.
As if she knew what they were thinking, Yu Fei snorted coldly inside of her heart.
âDo you all really think Iâll let you stay out of this? No way! Weâre on the same team now. If weâre going down, weâll go down together!â
Tian Moâs face turned red.
âA baby carrot?â
âIâm a baby carrot?!â Tian Mo shouted angrily, and he had returned to his top condition.
He held the Blood Banner with his left hand and the demon blade with his right.
âYu Fei, Iâm going to make you pay for all the humiliations youâve brought me!â
He let out a roar and charged at the group of people.
