231: The sky locks the south and opens, the arrogant demons!

"Paimon, what are you doing?" Huang Shuo asked, a hint of curiosity flashing in his words, upon seeing Baimeng's actions.

"It's nothing, Lord Huang Shuo. I was just investigating the situation within the Priest Temple, and now there's no need to continue," Baimeng said indifferently.

Although his strength was no less than Huang Shuo's, and perhaps even stronger, Huang Shuo, as the leader of the Heaven-Defying Demonic Dragon Legion, held a position comparable to the top six Demon God Pillars, and was even above the ninth-ranked Angel Demon God Paimon.

Therefore, he still addressed him as Lord Huang Shuo.

Afterward, Baimeng did not hesitate in the slightest, because after his investigation, he also discovered the trap Ling Xiao had set, and had even directly entered it.

At this moment, he did not know everything that had truly happened.

Instead, he simply assumed the original situation.

He believed there were not many strong individuals in the Priest Temple.

Moreover, within the Priest Temple, all the eighth and ninth-rank powerhouses seemed to have a special glow about them, which he could sense was likely this so-called Heavenly Lock Suppressing the South.

Well, that was enough.

If that was the case, then he had nothing to worry about.

He simply thought that Ling Xiao was just trying to make a dead horse walk.

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate too long, but looked at Ling Xiao's position and said, "Begin. Directly summon the Heavenly Lock Suppressing the South."

"This Demon God still has other important matters to attend to. After a month of sieges, this Demon God is also a bit tired. Just summon the Heavenly Lock Suppressing the South, then thoroughly defeat you humans, and finally end everything. We can even leave your broken city walls."

As soon as Huang Shuo uttered these words, the various eighth and ninth-rank Demon Race leaders behind him did not hesitate.

Immediately, they ordered their subordinates to complete all arrangements, and then the various Demon Races directly withdrew their troops and set up camp.

Seeing this, countless humans also breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the battle had temporarily ended, and they had some time to rest. This was good, this was good.

"All Demon Races above the eighth-rank, immediately rise and come here, enter the Heavenly Lock Suppressing the South, and engage in a 'fair and just' battle with humanity."

When these four words, "fair and just," were spoken, the Angel Demon God Paimon himself couldn't help but want to laugh.

Hahahaha, to speak of fairness and justice among the Demon Race was truly amusing.

Under the original circumstances, he would have entered the Heavenly Lock Suppressing the South because they were ambushed by the powerhouses of Zhennan Pass after breaking through. But now, he wanted to enter it, and although it was still a trap, he was entering willingly.

And at the very first moment his words came out, all the eighth and ninth-rank powerhouses among the Demon Race did not hesitate.

A total of twelve Demon Gods, over fifty ninth-rank individuals, and more than two hundred eighth-rank existences slowly stepped forward at this moment. They were all elites of the Demon Race, extremely powerful. At this moment, due to the Angel Demon God's strength and status, they slowly stepped forward, obeying his command.

The Angel Demon God Paimon also didn't think Ling Xiao would trick him, resulting in only him going in. With so many powerhouses, one move from each could instantly kill him. Even if he came out, the result would be the same; he wouldn't even last half a minute. This half-minute battle would at most cause more low-rank cannon fodder below the eighth-rank to die.

But the tide of battle would completely turn when they brought out Ling Xiao's head!

"Heavenly Lock Suppressing the South, open!" Ling Xiao shouted loudly. Instantly, boundless aura erupted, incredibly shocking. The mighty aura spread in all directions at this moment, vast and immense. In an instant, it completely ensnared all the eighth and ninth-rank Demon Race powerhouses present, as well as all the eighth and ninth-rank human powerhouses within Zhennan Pass, pulling them instantly into the Heavenly Lock Suppressing the South.

Suddenly, they could only see a massive purple spatial curtain appearing in the sky, incredibly vast.

It shimmered with the unique aura of a Divine Artifact.

And within it, all existences were completely in place.

"I have to say, this broken Divine Artifact is quite good. In an instant, it can even block the perception of this Demon God's Demon God Pillar. If I were alone, I'd probably be in real trouble this time," the Angel Demon God Paimon said, sensing everything around him.

His words were full of excitement regarding it.

"This thing is too much of a waste for your soon-to-be shattered race. After this battle ends, it will be the treasured possession of the esteemed Angel Demon God."

The Angel Demon God Paimon spoke with great pride. Clearly, at this moment, he truly believed this item would belong to him, and it was quite good!

"Hahahaha."

"Hahahaha."

All the Demon Races present also began to laugh at this moment.

Because the strengths of the two sides were simply not equal.

Although the humans who entered here were also elites, individually they were no less than the Demon Race powerhouses present, but their numbers were simply too few.

Fifteen ninth-rank priests, and a few ninth-rank individuals of other professions, totaling just over thirty people. This level was actually quite terrifying, but among the Demon Race, just the ninth-rank alone had over fifty individuals, and twenty of them were from the Heaven-Defying Demonic Dragon Clan led by Huang Shuo.

If Huang Shuo was included, just they alone might not be without the possibility of contending with this hall, not to mention the twelve Demon Gods and other ninth-rank powerhouses from various races.

And here, there were countless eighth-rank individuals.

"I say, Ling Xiao, and that old immortal former Hall Master Ling, why don't you just give up? This time, His Majesty the Demon God Emperor sent us here not just for meaningless slaughter."

"Among his thoughts, there is also a plan to fulfill a promise and agreement with all of you. If you end this early and agree to everything, you won't have to suffer so much. Otherwise, your few ninth-rank individuals might turn from treasures into dry bones," Huang Shuo said, looking at all the existences before him.

He spoke mockingly.

Clearly, he intended to attack their morale first.

As for slaughter, the Demon God Emperor might be too lazy to do it, but that didn't mean he didn't want to. A month of failed sieges had made him incredibly furious, not to mention having little effect. In fact, while they were constantly defending, only a few humans died, while their Demon Race suffered heavy losses. How could this not make him angry?

At this moment, he naturally wanted to get revenge.

"Huang Shuo, do you really think you're guaranteed to win?" Old Ling stepped forward and asked.

"Naturally, we are guaranteed to win. Could it be that your ninth-rank individuals are different from ours, that one of yours can challenge two of ours?" Huang Shuo said disdainfully.

"Fewer than thirty challenging fifty or sixty ninth-rank individuals, including twelve Demon Gods and over twenty domain-level powerhouses. How will you fight?"

Huang Shuo's words were very straightforward. If it came down to winning, Ling Xiao and Old Ling couldn't defeat him, but that didn't mean he could crush them; it would just be a stalemate.

But with multiple forces working together, it was different.

"Oh?"

"So, you think you're guaranteed to win?"

Above the Heavenly Lock Suppressing the South, a layer of purple mist appeared, shimmering with a vast aura that spread in all directions. And similarly, a crimson-golden light also emerged.

That... that was the light of the Throne of the God of Doom and Slaughter! (End of chapter)
