223: Entering the hall, the devil fire frightened everyone

Hearing this, Left Commander sat back down in his chair, feeling helpless.

He picked up the teacup on the table and poured its contents into his mouth.

The next moment, the scalding hot water made him spit the tea out directly.

“Bah! Are you trying to scald me to death?!”

He angrily cursed at the Red-robed Elder standing by his side.

The Red-robed Elder’s body stiffened, about to lash out,

but his companion next to him tugged his sleeve, and he lowered his head, enduring it.

Just then,

the shouts of guards came from the entrance of the main hall, followed by the screams of two people.

“Who is so bold! How dare they break in?!”

The Left and Right Commanders exchanged glances, then suddenly stood up, intending to lead the crowd towards the main hall entrance.

Just then, from behind the screen at the entrance, two figures emerged.

A young man and a beautiful young woman slowly walked to the center of the main hall.

The young man had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, exceptionally handsome, and was calmly surveying the layout of the main hall.

His gaze did not linger on anyone’s face.

He was like a tourist visiting a museum.

Left Commander felt the insult of being ignored; he widened his eyes and cursed,

“Where did this brat who doesn’t know death come from? Take him down!”

With that, he waved his right hand, and five or six Red-robed Demon people immediately surged out from behind him.

The young man’s lips curved slightly, and he snapped his right fingers, producing a crisp sound.

Boom!

The temperature in the main hall suddenly rose by several degrees.

Instantly, the Demon people who hadn’t even reached the young man were engulfed in flames.

Left Commander’s eyes narrowed, filled with horror.

This person had actually subdued the Blood Flame Demonic Fire!

“Ah!~ Help! Commander, help me!”

“It hurts so much!~”

“Kill me quickly, please give me a quick death!”

In the blink of an eye, the six people turned into six fireballs, rolling and screaming in despair in the main hall.

“Blood Flame Demonic Fire?! This is Blood Flame Demonic Fire!”

“How could they have the Blood Flame Demonic Fire? What do we do then?”

“Isn’t our life and death now in their hands?”

Many Demon people in the main hall watched this scene and couldn’t help but discuss it among themselves.

The Cultivation Technique they practiced relied on Demonic Fire, and they all had some Demonic Fire within them.

As long as the Demonic Fire was controlled by someone, the other party could ignite the Demonic Fire within them with a single thought.

The Left and Right Commanders looked at each other, both seeing horror in the other’s eyes.

A crimson flame flickered on the young man’s slender, fair fingertips.

The young man’s handsome face appeared exceptionally demonic under the illumination of the firelight.

The young man ignored the shocked crowd, simply walked to the main seat, and sat down.

Then, he scanned the crowd and sneered,

“Does anyone have an opinion about my arrival?”

Hearing this, Right Commander’s Adam’s apple bobbed, cold sweat streamed down his forehead, and his legs couldn’t help but tremble.

His mind raced,

this young man had subdued the Blood Flame Demonic Fire and had come to the main hall so openly.

It was obvious that the Red-robed Elder was no longer alive; most likely, he had been killed by the young man in front of him.

Right Commander lowered his gaze submissively and respectfully said,

“No… no opinion, please inform us of the Elder’s whereabouts.”

“Killed him!”

The young man said indifferently.

Hearing this, the crowd erupted even more.

“How is that possible?! This young man isn’t even 20 years old, how could he kill the Elder?!”

“Although I don’t quite believe it either, facts speak louder than words. If the Grand Elder were still alive, there’s no way he would let the Demonic Fire fall into an outsider’s hands.”

“Indeed, the Demon Lord’s body is almost collapsing, and we haven’t seen the Grand Elder return; something must have happened to him nine times out of ten!”

The crowd quickly deduced the truth of the matter,

which was that the Elder, a Great Grandmaster, was dead. As for whether it was done by the young man in front of them, that was unknown, but it didn’t matter at all.

Because the Demonic Fire was in the young man’s hands, which meant their lives were under the young man’s control.

The next moment,

Right Commander proactively knelt down and respectfully said,

“Thank you, young hero, for saving us from dire straits. We are willing to serve you as our Lord!”

Seeing this, the many Demon people, skilled in flattery, knelt down in a large swath.

“Welcome back, our Lord!”

“We are willing to serve you as our Lord!”

“We are willing to go through fire and water for our Lord, even if it means ten thousand deaths!”

…

Jiang Fan looked at this scene, feeling a bit bewildered for a moment.

He had originally thought these people would at least put up a righteous struggle,

who would have thought that these people would skip the struggle altogether and go straight to the ending.

That’s fine too.

It saved him a lot of trouble.

“You two, tell me about this Blood Refinement Purgatory Pool and resurrecting the Demon Lord, what’s going on?”

Jiang Fan stood up and commanded the Left and Right Commanders.

Right Commander hurriedly explained the entire sequence of events again.

Jiang Fan nodded.

He looked at the high platform behind him and slowly walked up to it.

Upon reaching the high platform, the sight before Jiang Fan left him utterly astonished.

He saw a rectangular Blood Pool, about 5 meters long and 2 meters wide,

with blood bubbles constantly rising from it, and a heavy, bloody smell that made one want to vomit.

Above the Blood Refinement Purgatory Pool, a human-shaped blood mass about three meters long was suspended in mid-air.

However, this human-shaped blood mass had no head,

and its flesh was slowly peeling off.

It looked extremely eerie.

At this moment, the human-shaped blood mass was emitting a heart-palpitating aura.

After standing for only a few seconds, Jiang Fan felt a suffocating sensation, like being entangled by a giant python, wash over him.

Jiang Fan tried his best to release his Mental Energy to alleviate the suffocating sensation.

Jiang Fan pointed at the human-shaped blood mass and frowned, saying,

“Is this the Demon Lord you want to resurrect? Why is it like this?”

Right Commander hurriedly stepped forward to explain:

“Reporting to our Lord, the Demon Lord originally only had a heart; its entire torso and flesh were condensed from the precious blood in the Blood Pool.

It’s just that now there’s no Blood Flame Demonic Fire to heat and activate the precious blood.

The Demon Lord’s body has not fully condensed.

If this drags on, the Demon Lord’s body will automatically collapse, and the resurrection ritual will fail.”

Just then,

a soul-stirring voice came from the blood mass:

“I am the Supreme Demon Lord,

submit to me, obey me, become my loyal servant,

and I shall bestow upon you power!

Come, ignite the Demonic Fire, and reshape my body!

Come, ignite the Demonic Fire, and reshape my body!”

Boom!

The mesmerizing voice echoed simultaneously in everyone’s minds.

As the voice spread, everyone in the main hall walked towards the high platform with blank expressions.

Jiang Fan’s eyes showed a momentary blankness,

the next instant, a massive amount of Mental Energy surged from his Sea of Consciousness, dispersing the soul-stirring voice.

Jiang Fan’s eyes were grave, his back covered in cold sweat,

he looked at the blood mass, and couldn’t help but reveal a coldness:

“Just a mere heart, yet it dares to bewitch people’s minds. It’s practically seeking death!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a black Flying Blade instantly shot out, shredding the blood mass into pieces.

Seeing this, Right Commander, who was nearby, was so frightened that he immediately knelt down,

his head constantly knocking against the ground, muttering tremblingly,

“Lord, no! Disrespecting the Demon Lord will incur retribution!”

Seeing this, the many Demon people below were terrified and knelt on the ground, silent as cicadas in winter.

“Demon Lord?! He’s just a Martial Artist with slightly higher cultivation! Why bother pretending to be a ghost!”

Jiang Fan snorted coldly.

As soon as his voice fell,

a coconut-sized bloody heart emerged from the blood mass.

An angry voice came from the heart:

“Filthy human! How dare you destroy my body, you are truly seeking death!”

This voice seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, making everyone’s faces change color upon hearing it.
