Wait a minute, where is my master?

Having entered from the thatched cottage and arrived at this space where the Demon Lord was suppressed, one had to pass through a shorter stone path along the way.

Thus, the Demon Lord had not yet seen the arrival's appearance and figure.

After teasing Elder Chi with a playful tone,

a pair of extremely bright eyes fixed unblinkingly on the entrance of the stone path.

The Demon Lord knew that if nothing unexpected happened, the reason he felt an approaching calamity earlier should reveal itself in a short while.

Although he knew calamity was imminent,

the Demon Lord's heart was still extremely calm.

After all, with a trace of the Undying Tao Principle protecting his body, he was confident that he could not die.

As for suffering a bit...

Ha, the Demon Lord considered himself accustomed to suffering over the past thousand years.

"This tedious cycle over a thousand years is quite boring. I wonder if today, Elder Chi can bring me any surprises,"

thought the Demon Lord, the idea flashing briefly through his mind.

However, the next moment, the Demon Lord did not see the figure of his 'old friend' at the entrance of the stone path.

Instead, a Taoist with an exceedingly handsome appearance, as if a banished immortal had descended to the mortal realm, entered dragging two women along by the arms.

Following close behind was a Little Purple Spirit Elephant, barely at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"May I ask who you are?"

The Demon Lord's bright gaze focused intently on the person on the ground.

This little Taoist had just managed to evade his perception, and even now, having seen him with his own eyes, he still felt the person was a mere commoner.

This unexpected feeling gave rise to a sense of foreboding in the Demon Lord's heart.

After all, Elder Chi, a Great Cultivator in the True World Immortal Realm, would certainly not bring an ordinary person here without reason.

Moreover, a person without any cultivation would definitely not be able to drag two Nascent Soul Realm demon cultivators with ease.

On the ground.

Jin Xu, who had just stepped inside, signaled for the two women on his arm to get down.

Then, he ignored the bedraggled person midair who had asked the question, took two steps forward, and slightly turned to the side,

making room for Little Zi and Elder Chi behind him.

Seeing the Demon Lord being ignored, his bright eyes darkened. He had reigned half of his life in the Nine Provinces Immortal World, and though now he was in a seal, suppressed,

due to his immortal attribute and cultivation, he had never experienced the indignity of being outright ignored.

His eyes slightly drooped, harboring the intent to test and release his dissatisfaction.

He twisted the bright silver chains piercing through his thigh bone, triggering an attack prohibition within the sealed space, and shot it towards the small Taoist below.

Having been suppressed here for a thousand years and being a brilliant individual, the Demon Lord had come to partly understand the prohibition formation that suppressed him.

Of course, this understanding was on a percentage scale.

On the stone path on the ground.

Jin Xu noticed the action of the person in the air, his eyebrows raising slightly.

Then, a burst of golden spiritual power spread from beneath his feet, effortlessly blocking the attack issued by the prohibition.

"Don't rush, I'll kill you in a moment,"

said the little Taoist nonchalantly after glancing upwards. He then turned all his attention back to the Little Purple Spirit Elephant.

He had made a promise to let it take its revenge with its own hands.

So now Jin Xu was considering how to let a little demon at the cusp of Foundation Establishment kill a demon cultivator rumored to have an immortal trait.

"Hmm... it's definitely too late to impart magic now. Maybe I'll wrap Little Zi completely in golden spiritual power. And then..."

The young Taoist stroked his chin, pondering seriously.

Meanwhile, up in the air.

The Demon Lord saw that the other party had blocked the attack from the prohibition using a strange golden spiritual power.

He confirmed that this seemingly banished immortal young Taoist did indeed look like an ordinary mortal, but actually possessed cultivation, and not a low level at that.

However, before he could ponder further, he heard Jin Xu's faint words, "Don't hurry, I'll kill you in a moment."

"Kill me!?"

"Hahahaha, kill me!? Elder Chi, where did you find such an arrogant young Taoist who dares to say he will kill me without shame?

"What, did you specifically bring these three members of the Demon Clan, thinking you could feed me, who hasn't eaten in a thousand years, to death in one go?

"Hahahaha!"

A trace of astonishment crossed the Demon Lord's face; then, as if he had heard something extremely hilarious, he burst into crazed laughter.

He was very animated, his laughter shaking the bright silver chains around him, filling the entire space with the sound of rattling and boisterous laughter.

A dozen or so breaths later.

The Demon Lord finally stopped smiling and slowly lowered his head to look down below.

But it was this one glance.

That caused his normally tranquil heart to suddenly sink.

When the Ancestor from the Immortal Palace visited in the past, whether they were verbally sparring or mocking each other, there was always some interaction.

But today.

After the Demon Lord carelessly finished his taunting words, not only did Elder Chi not retort, but he was now looking at him with a pitiable gaze.

"Elder Chi, what do you mean by that look? Huh, don't tell me you actually think that bringing this little Taoist who's extremely proficient in the Concealing Breath Skill from the outside world could scare me."

The Ancestor from the Immortal Palace heard these words and, like Jin Xu, chose not to respond.

He simply looked up at the Demon Lord in the high sky, silently stroking his beard and shaking his head with a long sigh.

It seemed that this one also knew how to strike at the heart.

Being treated with this attitude consecutively.

An unnamed rage began to rise in the heart of the Demon Lord!

Enduring the pain of the chains piercing his bones, he tried to stimulate the surrounding prohibition to vent his intense dissatisfaction.

However, Elder Chi was already prepared and was not going to let the Demon Lord trigger the prohibitions at will.

He swiftly executed several Seal Skills with his hands, and the prohibitions of the formations on the surrounding cliffs activated instantly. On the bright silver chains forged from ten-thousand-year-old ancient iron, obscure symbols emerged, each one suppressing the Demon Lord.

"Boom!"

"Crash!"

"Swoosh!"

In a moment, the area was filled with sudden gusts of wind and thunder.

The Demon Lord, suspended in mid-air, looking bright and energetic just moments before, but after enduring these myriad methods of attack and suppression for only a moment.

He turned into a feeble and lackluster figure in the blink of an eye.

However, because the Ancestor from the Immortal Palace had been controlling it too excessively, it happened to bring the Demon Lord's injuries to the level that triggered his undying characteristics.

Thus, the Demon Lord's feeble state didn't last for more than a few breaths, and he returned to his bright-eyed state.

On the ground.

After pondering for a while, Jin Xu, who had his plans in mind.

Was now using golden spiritual power to tightly encase Little Zi's limbs and body, wrapping it up without leaving any seams.

At the same time, he also noticed the commotion in the air and the Demon Lord being weakened, but then recovering a bit after a moment.
