”This place might really be related to the Imperial Nether Clan,” muttered Xiang Shaoyun as he stared at the mountain ahead of him.

The yang devouring devil said, ”Prince, c-can I leave now?”

The yang devouring devil was a fourth-stage Devil Emperor. He was absolutely not weak. However, in the third layer, his strength was really nothing special. Furthermore, they had entered the nether prison devil's territory. This was a place filled with experts, and he did not dare to stay here for long.

”What's the rush? The nether prison devils are already coming to us,” said Xiang Shaoyun nonchalantly.

”What? I'll have to leave then!” The yang devouring devil was overwhelmed with fear and started fleeing.

But right this instant, devilish energy surged around them as dozens of devils appeared and surrounded them. A powerful attack streaked through the air toward the yang devouring devil and impaled him on a ma.s.sive boulder. Devil blood bloomed on the stone and flowed down the boulder. With one attack, the yang devouring devil was killed. It was obvious how powerful the newcomers were.

Xiang Shaoyun was already on full alert, but not even that had allowed him to clearly see the approach of these nether prison devils. Each of them was dressed in odd armor and armed with a trident. They looked at Xiang Shaoyun with the three eyes each of them had. Some of them directly attacked.

Without any hesitation, Xiang Shaoyun activated the devil blood in his body. A thick devilish aura then spread out of him, enveloping him with a sinister aura that completely changed his bearing. At that, the attacking nether prison devils stopped. Their aura started dropping, and fear plastered their faces.

Finally, the leader stepped forth and asked in confusion, ”W-which clan are you from?”

”What do you think?” Xiang Shaoyun asked indifferently as he released the Nether Soul Domain.

The Nether Soul Domain enveloped all the nether prison devils. Instantly, they started trembling as they knelt down and greeted, ”Greetings, esteemed imperial nether.”

For these subsidiary clans, any Imperial Nether Clan member they met was akin to a true emperor. Cultivation level did not matter here as this was a suppression originating from their very bloodline.

This was quite similar to the demons, where a demon with a higher-tiered bloodline would suppress a demon with a lower-tiered bloodline. Before this, Xiang Shaoyun had no idea if this would work. He was betting on it working, and it seemed like he had made the right bet.

”This prince wishes to take a look at the site of my clan,” said Xiang Shaoyun loftily with both hands clasped behind his back.

He was filled with elation at the discovery that he could cause all the nether prison devils to kneel just by showing himself. This was a splendid sensation, causing him to feel like he had truly become a prince.

”We are only here to guard the site for the Imperial Nether Clan. The prince is naturally welcomed if he wishes to take a look,” said a nether prison devil deferentially.

”Good. Lead the way, then,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

And thus, Xiang Shaoyun followed the nether prison devils to the site. Along the way, many other nether prison devils joined the group. All of them first looked at Xiang Shaoyun with hostility, but after listening to what their leader had to say, they then greeted him deferentially.
