Perhaps it was because the scene was too quiet, but this laughter seemed oddly harsh. Many people lifted their heads to look at the Sealed Devil, who merely shrugged his shoulders as he said, “Go on. It would be a shame not to finish such a good play.”
The sect leader of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He pointed to Xue Ling and admonished, “If you really persist on following your misguided course today, my Ten Thousand Sword Sect no longer has a disciple like you. You will be disdained by the entire land of Jiuzhou for deceiving your master and destroying your ancestor!”

“If I didn’t deceive my master and destroy the ancestor, should I wait for him to devour my power and become a supreme existence on par with the Venerable Devil?” Xue Ling lowered his head to look at Han Wuzheng, who had already begun to become transparent due to lack of power. “I am very clear about what was in his mind when he accepted me as an apprentice back then. Besides, I don’t care about your Ten Thousand Sword Sect.”
Someone was laughing loudly in the distance. The head of Xuanmo Gate stroked his beard with a smile and said, “That’s right, little friend. Although it is not ideal to use the saying ‘forsake darkness for light’ here, with little friend’s ability, there is no future in following the righteous path. It is better to follow the devil’s path like me. The timing is perfect as the Sealed Devil is also here and can serve as a witness.”
“The righteous path, the devil’s path?” Xue Ling sneered as a huge shadow rose up behind him while an elegant nine-tailed fox gently waved its nine tails. It was both noble and imposing, and Xue Ling’s fox was the only spot of white in the dark battlefield, a pure figure that seemed not to belong to this world. “Why can one only walk along the righteous path or the devil’s path? What I choose is a path that does not belong to anyone, but rather my own path.” A mighty demonic aura spread out, and on the battlefield, regardless of whether they were on the righteous path or the devil’s path, everyone’s knees all went soft and they dropped to their knees. “I am the leader of a hundred demons, the king of ten thousand, and the path that I follow, is the demonic path that belongs to me alone!”
This speech was really second to none, and when he raised his head, his aura domineering and haughty, that beautiful face no longer had the coldness from before. Instead, he was arrogant and gorgeous, and even though he was still wearing the same white robes, the current him was completely different from before.
Many people were dazed, completely forgetting that they were kneeling before this man as their gazes followed his figure and stared at him as though they were seeing a god from the legends.
It was not until a cold, dissatisfied harrumph rang out that the souls that had been almost sucked away suddenly returned to their bodies. Everyone suddenly collapsed to the ground in a sweat and turned incredulous eyes towards the sky.
“Baby, come up. I’ve never seen you so graceful and imperious. Come here and let me have a proper look.” The Sealed Devil’s voice woke up everyone who had been subconsciously affected by Xue Ling’s power. All of them suffered internal injuries, but he was still unhappy as he used an indifferent, apathetic gaze to sweep over the crowd. Although the words coming from his mouth were gentle, his expression was fierce.

Xue Ling did not even bother to raise his head and only said calmly, “Come down yourself if you want to see.”
Many people at the scene had not expected him to speak this way to the Sealed Devil. Although the pressure that Xue Ling gave them was great, it was still within a range that they could bear. The Venerable Devil had been famous for so many years, and could even slaughter his way into the world of gods. Their identities were not equal; how could Xue Ling have the courage to talk to the Lord Devil like this?

But to their surprise, the Lord Devil was actually obedient and came down by from the sky.
Xue Ling snorted coldly, showing his disdain for the way he had been putting on airs by staying up in the heavens.
The Sealed Devil had his lips curved upwards as he looked at him. The more he looked, the more he liked him, and the more he looked, the happier he became. How could the person that he liked be so cute? When he was acting like an iceberg before, or when he was proud and cocky interacting with him, or even now, when he showed his true fox self and wantonly publicized his appearance, each and every aspect of his personality appealed directly to his heart. Each and every version of him made Su Xuanyan want to hide him in the Devil World so that others could not see.
“When the nine-tailed fox is born into the world, the world will inevitably be chaotic. For us to arrive at this day, it indeed had a great connection to you.” The sect leader of Tianxuan Gate, Xuan Jizi had a long, gloomy expression on his face as he opened his mouth to say these words.
Xue Ling laughed coldly, and said, “It’s really strange. You all started the war yourselves, and chose to die by yourselves. But now, sect leader Xuan Jizi wants to put the blame on me?”
“The Ten Thousand Sword Sect can do a thousand, ten thousand things, but it really should never have hidden the fact that you are a nine-tailed fox.” Xuen Jizi looked coldly at Xue Ling. “The matters of today must be the will of Heaven.”
“Will of Heaven?” Now, it was the Sealed Devil’s turn to laugh. He looked at Xuan Jizi while using a hand to toy with the ends of Xue Ling’s hair. “There is no will of Heaven in this world, and even if there was, it would be my will. The rise of the devil’s path and the decline of the righteous path were the pledges that I made after I once again regained control over my own strength. You are doomed to have no opportunity to overturn your fates in this life, and the land of Jiuzhou is also doomed to fall into darkness.”
He said, “The words of I, the Sealed Devil, have never been taken back or altered.”
Xuan Jizi was still meticulously scheming and creating plans, but when the Sealed Devil spoke his piece, he coughed up blood with a ‘wa’ sound, seeming to have received a grievous wound as he stared incredulously at the Sealed Devil. “You have acted against the Heavens! Ignoring the Will of Heaven and forcibly reversing Heaven’s Laws!”
“Hahahahaha, the Will of Heaven follows my intent!” The Sealed Devil felt that it was all rather dull and let go of Xue Ling’s long hair, wrapping an arm around his waist instead as he continued, “I’ve said it before, I am the law.”
This was probably the most unsuccessful demon slaughtering conference in history.
In this war, Tianxuan Gate lost countless practitioners, their lives taken away by the Sealed Devil, their souls literally frightened to death and scattering as they no longer existed in Jiuzhou. Ten Thousand Sword Sect’s sword cultivators all retreated behind their doors and never emerged again, no longer involving themselves in world matters. It was mostly because of their previous relationship with the Demon Lord that the Sealed Devil had not made a move against them.
