Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

Upon hearing Li Chen’s question, Yans Ziyi responded, "The Snow Princess went with the Master to the Fantian Temple!"

Li Chen inquired further, "Fantian Temple? What are they going there for?"

Yans Ziyi replied, "With the support of the Beast Spirit Clan, the Heavenly Demon Sect has unified the Demon Path. Now, they are launching a massive attack on the Human World. Master Jingy Nan of Fantian Temple has issued a call to heroes, summoning all the top warriors of the Human Clan to Fantian Temple to discuss strategies to counter the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Beast Spirit Clan!"

After listening to Yans Ziyi, Li Chen nodded and said, "Then we shall also go to Fantian Temple!"

...

At this moment, Fantian Temple, along with hundreds of thousands of human cultivators, has been completely surrounded by millions of troops from the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Beast Spirit Clan.

The two sides have experienced seven consecutive battles!

All ended in disastrous defeats for the Human Clan.

If it weren’t for Fantian Temple’s location, where the Human Clan held an absolute geographical advantage, allowing them to mount a perilous defense, they might have already faced total annihilation.

The major Demon forces, along with the thirty-six tribes and seventy-two fortresses of the Beast Spirit Clan, seem to have already glimpsed the dawn of victory, pillaging the Human World with abandon.

The once bustling, vibrant Human World has been ravaged into a purgatory, corpses strewn across the land, white bones piled in masses.

Some of the more psychopathic members of the Demon Path have devised various means of torture, causing the victims to wish for death without hope of survival.

The Heavenly Demon Sect Master, the Heavenly Demon Child, the Great Elder Leng Diao, the Sky Demon Palace’s Great Elder Tuoba Demon, and the Third Elder Red Scorpion are all quite excited at this moment.

The progress of the conquest of the Human World has been smoother than they had imagined.

Before their armies, the Human Clan is simply powerless to resist.

The Human Clan realized too late, not considering the need to form an alliance until most of their territory was lost.

Upon receiving the news, Tuoba Demon wasted no time in mobilizing the Heavenly Demon Sect and the various major forces of the Beast Spirit Clan to encircle Fantian Temple.

He intended to achieve complete victory in one fell swoop and utterly destroy the resistance forces of the Human Clan!

To prevent future complications, Tuoba Demon plans to act immediately.

He intends to assign the task of leading the vanguard to the Heavenly Demon Sect.

In doing so, he can also seize the opportunity to weaken the forces of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Those who are not of our tribe, their hearts are certainly different!

Although the Heavenly Demon Sect has fallen into the Demon Path, they remain human, inherently not sharing the same heart as the Beast Spirit Clan.

If the Heavenly Demon Sect is allowed to rise, it may one day become a force too large to control.

This is a prospect Tuoba Demon is unwilling to face.

Having made up his mind, Tuoba Demon summoned the Heavenly Demon Child, Leng Diao, and the other leaders of the Demon forces to a grand banquet.

After rounds of drinks, Tuoba Demon expressed his intentions.

"Heavenly Demon Sect Master, Elder Leng Diao, the righteous forces led by Fantian Temple and Qianxue Hall are already at their wits’ end. I plan to eliminate them all in one go. What say you two?"

The Heavenly Demon Child and Leng Diao exchanged glances and nodded in agreement with Tuoba Demon’s proposal.

Seeing this, Tuoba Demon smiled and said, "Your Heavenly Demon Sect and Fantian Temple are archenemies and have clashed many times. Why not let your Heavenly Demon Sect lead the charge to eliminate Fantian Temple this time? Do you have any objections?"

Leng Diao was the first to express support, replying, "Elder Tuoba, rest assured, our Heavenly Demon Sect disciples are committed to attacking, and we shall have no regrets even in death!"

The Heavenly Demon Child was taken aback by Leng Diao’s initiative, and his expression immediately darkened.

Ever since Leng Que became Tuoba Demon’s adopted grandson, Leng Diao seemed to be getting closer to him.

Moreover, he felt that Leng Diao, emboldened by Tuoba Demon’s backing, increasingly disregarded himself as the Sect Master.

Tuoba Demon was quite pleased with Leng Diao’s performance.

He personally helped Leng Diao to his feet and offered him a toast.

"Elder Leng Diao, your contributions have not escaped my notice. Once Fantian Temple is destroyed, I will surely commend you!"

"Come, a toast to you!"

Leng Diao was delighted upon hearing this and quickly raised his glass to clink it with Tuoba Demon’s.

After downing his drink, he gave the Heavenly Demon Child a provocative glance.

The Heavenly Demon Child ground his teeth in silent fury.

Yet he was helpless about it.

After finishing his drink, Tuoba Demon shifted his gaze to the Heavenly Demon Child.

"Heavenly Demon Sect Master, do you have any objections to what I just said?"

Were the entire Demon forces still united as one.

The Heavenly Demon Child felt there would still be room to negotiate with Tuoba Demon.

But now that Leng Diao had completely shifted to Tuoba Demon’s side.

If he dared to show even a hint of dissatisfaction, Tuoba Demon would likely kill him without hesitation and raise Leng Diao to power.

With that in mind, the Heavenly Demon Child dared not delay any longer and immediately pledged his allegiance.

"I am willing to serve Elder Tuoba without complaint!"

Seeing that the Heavenly Demon Child had also declared his stance, Tuoba Demon scanned the crowd once more, asking, "Does anyone else have any objections?"

Seeing the two leaders of the Heavenly Demon Sect had declared their positions, the other Demon forces’ leaders dared not express any dissent, pledging their allegiance one after another.

Having achieved his goal, Tuoba Demon let out a triumphant laugh.

"The destruction of Fantian Temple shall be accomplished in this battle. A toast to all of you!"

After speaking, Tuoba Demon raised his glass and drank it in one go.

Subsequently, he smashed his glass onto the ground.

The Heavenly Demon Child, Leng Diao, and others followed suit.

For a moment, the entire hall echoed with the sound of shattering glasses.

Tuoba Demon laughed heartily at the sight.

"Gentlemen, return and prepare. Tomorrow night, we launch the attack to utterly destroy Fantian Temple!"

The Heavenly Demon Child, Leng Diao, and others acknowledged him and successively departed from the hall.

Outside the hall’s doors, the Heavenly Demon Child glanced back inside and, seeing that Tuoba Demon and the others were not paying attention, addressed Leng Diao with a forced smile:

"Elder Leng Diao, it seems your wings have grown strong. Planning to leave the Heavenly Demon Sect and strike out on your own?"

Leng Diao bowed slightly toward the Heavenly Demon Child and replied, "Sect Master, I do not understand what you mean by that?"

"Besides, my grandson Leng Que is the only Demon Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the future Steering Person. Naturally, I will fully support him to strengthen our Heavenly Demon Sect. Why would I fly solo?"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Demon Child was filled with a nameless rage.

He huffed angrily, "Leng Diao, your plans seem too clever by half, don’t they?"

"As long as I am here, no one else will take the position of Heavenly Demon Sect Master!"

"By the way, there’s one more thing, Elder Leng Diao, that you might not know yet?"

Leng Diao was surprised and asked, "What thing?"

Word by word, the Heavenly Demon Child said, "Your beloved grandson Leng Que is now deceased and gone!"

Leng Diao felt as if struck by lightning upon hearing this.

"Heavenly Demon Child, was it you who killed him?"

Looking at the infuriated Leng Diao, the Heavenly Demon Child coldly replied:

"Elder Leng Diao, compose yourself. Regardless, Leng Que was the Demon Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect; why would I harm him?"

Holding back his fury, Leng Diao asked, "Then who killed Leng Que?"

The Heavenly Demon Child, with shadowy eyes slightly narrowed, after a long time, squeezed out a name from between his teeth.

"Li Chen!"

The mention of Li Chen’s name stunned Leng Diao.

"Li Chen? You mean the one who killed Zhao Wudi, Zhao Badao brothers, and Wuo Yunzi, that demon Li Chen?"

"Precisely, it’s him!"

The Heavenly Demon Child responded, gnashing his teeth, with a fierce glare.

His hatred for Li Chen was definitely no less than Leng Diao’s.

Mo Zhan and Mo Qing were two of his most prized disciples.

Mo Yu was even his illegitimate child.

Yet now, they have all perished at the hands of Li Chen.

This enmity is irreconcilable!
