Chapter 246: You Bunch of Old Bastards Who Cling to Life and Fear Death!

After Ning Yechen left, leading the great demon army, a dead silence fell within the Judgment Divine Palace.

The terrifying traces of half the divine palace being destroyed by Ning Yechen’s single slap were still vivid in their minds.

The shattered void stretching for a thousand li still shook the minds of everyone present.

The Heavenly Realm’s void barrier, usually so stable, was so fragile in the Demon Lord’s hands…

And this God of Slaughter was going to stay in the Heavenly Realm for a period of time…!

At this thought, Tianshu Xiu and the others all shuddered in their hearts in unspoken agreement and let out a deep sigh.

“Immortal Ancestor Tianshu, now that Potian has been taken away by the Demon Lord and has entered the Demon Realm’s Execution Palace, I’m afraid his chances of survival are nil. What should we do…?”

A clan’s Immortal Ancestor turned his head and asked Tianshu Xiu.

The other various family Immortal Ancestors also turned their gazes to Tianshu Xiu, wanting to hear his opinion.

Potian disappearing from the Judgment Divine Palace was no small matter…!

They had watched with their own eyes as Potian was taken away and had not acted. If that great personage from the Divine Realm were to blame them, it would be very difficult for them to explain.

Tianshu Xiu gave the crowd a listless glance and said calmly:

“What should we do?”

“How about you all gather your men right now, chase after the Demon Lord, and rescue him from the Demon Lord’s hands?”

“Th-That wouldn’t be good…”

“Even if we were to join forces, we would be absolutely no match for the Demon Lord…”

“I’m afraid it would be a one-way trip…”

Hearing this, the faces of the crowd all changed with fright.

After witnessing the Demon Lord’s terrifying strength, they absolutely would not mention making an enemy of the Demon Lord or defending the Heavenly Realm’s honor again.

“Since you all know it in your hearts, what need is there to ask?”

“This matter is already beyond our ability to interfere in…”

Tianshu Xiu said with a sigh, looking in the direction where Ning Yechen and the great demon army had left.

He had originally thought that after stepping into the Transcendent Immortal Realm and achieving godhood, his cultivation would have reached the pinnacle of perfection, enough to look down on the Six Realms.

Little did he know, the difference in strength among Transcendent Immortals was also this great…

The Transcendent Immortal Realm might be his limit and the limit of the gods of the Divine Realm, but it was not the limit of that Demon Lord.

“We understand, but what if that great personage blames us…?”

Everyone knew they could no longer interfere in this matter; they were just worried in their hearts that the great personage from the Divine Realm would blame them. ṝἈ𐌽ỒᛒÊＳ

They couldn’t afford to provoke the Demon Lord, and they likewise couldn’t afford to provoke that great personage from the Divine Realm.

Tianshu Xiu slowly turned his back to leave and said calmly:

“The matter of Potian cannot be blamed on us.”

“The consequences now are all of his own making.”

“We have already done our best to dissuade him.”

“If that great personage truly does come to assign blame, I will personally explain to him.”

As he was leaving, Tianshu Xiu didn’t forget to stop, turn his head back, and add a few more instructions with a serious expression:

“Oh, right! During this time that the Demon Lord is staying in the Heavenly Realm, you must control the juniors of your various clans!”

“If you don’t want to disappear from the Heavenly Realm just like the Dao Immortal Clan…!”

“Also, effective immediately, no one in the Heavenly Realm is to provoke the Luo Shen Palace!”

“Whoever provokes the Luo Shen Palace should just proactively disappear from the Heavenly Realm!”

“It’ll save me the trouble of doing it myself!”

The crowd: “…”

The crowd watched Tianshu Xiu’s gradually departing figure, and with uneasy hearts, they transformed into divine rainbows and left one after another.

The Luo Shen Empress was now the Demon Lord’s wife, the Empress of the Demon Realm.

It was likely that before long, the Luo Shen Clan was going to rise.

Finding a way to build a good relationship with the Luo Shen Clan was more important…!

……

Northern Underworld Heavenly Domain, Luo Shen Palace.

Inside the great hall, the head of the family, Luo Tianya, and a group of clan elders were gathered together, discussing the most tense situation currently facing the Heavenly Realm.

The great demon army had invaded the Heavenly Realm again!

The nine great heavenly domains were invaded by the demon clan simultaneously, and all the people of the Heavenly Realm felt that they were in peril.

They were either fleeing and hiding, or entering seclusion and not coming out.

All the major sects had activated their barriers to protect themselves, and the Luo Shen Palace was no exception.

Coincidentally, the great demon army led by the Demon Lord had descended upon their Northern Underworld Heavenly Domain, and the various sects within the domain were so scared they didn’t dare to move at all.

The Luo Shen Palace, as a declining, third-rate sect in the Northern Underworld Heavenly Domain, naturally had to do everything possible to preserve itself.

But not long ago, they, along with the other various sects, had received a rescue bell signal from the Dao Immortal Clan.

For a time, they were caught in a dilemma, discussing whether or not to go and support the Dao Immortal Clan.

Luo Tianya had never had a good impression of the Dao Immortal Clan to begin with, and he was even more unwilling to let the few people left in his family make an enemy of the demon clan for the sake of the Dao Immortal Clan and sacrifice their lives in vain.

Therefore, he advocated for ignoring the Dao Immortal Clan’s call for rescue.

But the other elders in the clan were all united in holding the opposite opinion.

The demon clan was certainly terrifying, but the Dao Immortal Clan was the number one reclusive family in the Northern Underworld Heavenly Domain, and their Luo Shen Palace absolutely could not afford to provoke them.

If they didn’t go to provide support this time, the Dao Immortal Clan would surely blame them afterwards, and the entire Luo Shen Palace would be unable to withstand their wrath!

Previously, the matter of Luo Ruying injuring a member of the Dao Immortal Clan and escaping from them had already greatly angered and displeased the Dao Immortal Clan.

Now, if they didn’t atone for this and proactively curry favor with the Dao Immortal Clan, the Luo Shen Palace would likely be unable to maintain its footing in the Northern Underworld Heavenly Domain!

This was the proposition of a group of family elders led by the Great Elder, Luo Tianshan.

At first glance, it was another speech about thinking for the good of the clan, but in reality, it was just these fellows trying to curry favor with the Dao Immortal Clan and offer up their services!

Completely disregarding the lives of the clan’s younger generation of disciples!

Luo Tianya already felt extreme disgust and disdain for the ugly faces of Luo Tianshan and the other elders.

He didn’t even want to sit here with them for another minute!

“Everyone, the demon clan’s strength today is not what it used to be. Among the various sects in the Heavenly Realm, almost no one dares to confront them.”

“Moreover, it’s not as if you elders are unaware of the current situation of our Luo Shen Palace.”

“The young disciples are still growing; they are the future of our clan. How can we let them take such risks so easily!”

“Regarding the matter of supporting the Dao Immortal Clan, my Luo Shen Palace has the will, but not the strength!”

“The elders need not mention this again!”

Luo Tianya’s expression turned cold as he refused in the stern, non-negotiable tone of a clan head.

“Clan Head, it is you who is placing the Luo Shen Palace in peril!”

“How powerful is the Dao Immortal Clan? Even the nine great powers of the heavenly domains cannot compare with them!”

“The mere demon clan has absolutely no chance of doing anything to the Dao Immortal Clan!”

“If our Luo Shen Palace does not show our resolve to be in the same boat at this moment, when the Dao Immortal Clan blames us afterward, it will be a disaster for our Luo Shen Palace!”

“The other sects have not yet provided support, so our Luo Shen Palace should be the first to stand out and assist the Dao Immortal Clan in resisting the demon clan!”

“By doing so, we can surely win the favor and gratitude of the Dao Immortal Clan, and our Luo Shen Palace will have a place in the Northern Underworld Heavenly Domain in the future!”

Hearing this, Luo Tianshan frowned tightly, slammed his hand on the table and stood up, and rebuked Luo Tianya with righteous words.

The other few elders also nodded one after another in agreement, feeling that what Luo Tianshan said was very reasonable!

Just at this moment, the great doors of the hall were suddenly pushed open, and an angry, feminine shout was heard:

“Hmph! You bunch of old bastards who cling to life and fear death!”

“Isn’t this all just to curry favor with the Dao Immortal Clan!”

“Since you all want to support the Dao Immortal Clan so much, then you should go yourselves!”

“All you can do is sit here and say pretty words. Asking you to actually go would be like asking for your lives!”

“I’m afraid you wouldn’t even dare to take a single step outside the sect’s gate!”

Luo Ruxin, who had been hiding outside the door eavesdropping, could no longer listen and stepped into the great hall. With her hands on her hips, she let loose a torrent of abuse at Luo Tianshan and the others.

She was already very dissatisfied when they sent her older sister away before, and now they want to harm the other disciples of the clan!
