180: Bring the Demon Emperor back to the sect

"Heh, why waste words? I'm taking you where you need to go."

Seeing the Giant Ape Demon Emperor's small, frightened expression,

Elder Zhao Da chuckled, tore open a spatial rift, and then swung out a massive Spiritual Energy Chain, dragging the Giant Ape Demon Emperor into the spatial rift.

Zhao Er and Zhao San didn't waste any words either, following closely behind and vanishing into the void.

Not long after the three left,

the Flood Dragon Demon Emperor and the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Emperor tore through space and arrived at the site of the battle.

Seeing the large pit left by the Giant Ape Demon Emperor on the ground, yet no sign of anyone, the Flood Dragon Demon Emperor's face turned ashen.

"Damn it!"

"You actually captured my second brother! I will definitely not let this matter rest!"

The Flood Dragon Demon Emperor was furious.

The Giant Ape Demon Emperor had just sent a distress signal saying it had encountered Elder Zhao Da and his group.

Now the Giant Ape Demon Emperor was nowhere to be seen, and the ground bore the marks of its struggle, clearly indicating it had been defeated by Elder Zhao Da and his group.

Since the Giant Ape Demon Emperor's Life Tablet hadn't shattered, it meant it had been captured alive by Elder Zhao Da and his group.

"Big Brother, what should we do? Second Brother fell into their hands; I fear the worst," the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Emperor asked the Flood Dragon Demon Emperor with a worried expression.

They had experienced the might of Zhao Da and his group; rescuing someone from their grasp was simply impossible.

Moreover, even now, they didn't know which faction Zhao Da and his group belonged to.

Aside from the clue about Huyan Zhuo, they knew nothing about Elder Zhao Da and the others.

Seeing the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Emperor's anxious look, the Flood Dragon Demon Emperor calmed down.

"Third Sister, don't panic!"

"Let's return to the Demon Kingdom first, then send people to the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce in the Central Region to gather intelligence and plan our next move. As long as Second Brother is alive, Big Brother will never abandon him."

The Flood Dragon Demon Emperor's gaze was firm as he looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Emperor.

Although Zhao Da and his group were indeed formidable, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would not give up on his brother.

"Alright, let's go back first and discuss countermeasures once we hear news of Second Brother."

The Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Emperor nodded, slicing open a spatial rift, and returned to the Demon Kingdom with the Flood Dragon Demon Emperor.

At the same time.

On the Qingtian Sect plaza.

A large number of Qingtian Sect disciples who had finished slaying demon beasts were traveling back and forth to the Mission Hall to turn in their tasks.

Suddenly!

The space above the plaza was torn open.

Elder Zhao Da and the two others emerged from the spatial rift, bringing the Giant Ape Demon Emperor, dozens of feet tall, down onto the plaza.

Seeing Elder Zhao Da leading such a massive Red Ape,

the passing Qingtian Sect disciples stopped in their tracks and cried out in surprise.

"Holy cow! The monkey Elder Zhao is leading is huge! It's my first time seeing a monkey this big."

"It really is too big. What level of demon beast is a monkey this size?"

"For a demon beast that required Elder Zhao and the two others to personally take action, it must be at least the Quasi-Emperor Realm, right?"

"Hiss, a Quasi-Emperor! If that were ours, how many Contribution Points would it be worth?"

The Qingtian Sect disciples stared wide-eyed, pointing fingers at the Giant Ape Demon Emperor.

They fantasized about what it would be like if they were the ones who had captured this demon beast.

After all, a Quasi-Emperor level demon beast could be exchanged for at least ten thousand Contribution Points. Even if they couldn't exchange it for enlightenment tea leaves and other items, they could still exchange it for many lower-grade treasures.

In the crowd,

Feng Xiaoxiao looked at the listless Flame Giant Ape with shock.

As a former Great Emperor of the Central Region, she had fought against the Demon Kingdom.

She recognized this Flame Giant Ape and knew it was the second-ranked Demon Emperor of the Demon Kingdom.

The fact that this second-ranked Peak Demon Emperor was captured alive by the Sect's Elders was truly astonishing.

One must know that this was a Peak Great Emperor Demon Emperor, the most supreme existence on the Canglan Continent.

Defeating it might be achievable by a few experts of the same realm, but killing or capturing it alive was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

She couldn't imagine how powerful Elder Zhao Da and the two others must be to capture a Peak Demon Emperor alive.

The space above the plaza tore open again.

Zhao Si, leading Ye Xiao and the four others, stepped out of the spatial rift and landed on the plaza.

When they saw that the Demon Emperor Elder Zhao Da and the two others had pursued was such a massive red-haired ape, they were secretly amazed.

Especially Gu Chen.

His eyes shone with excitement as he carefully examined the Giant Ape Demon Emperor's enormous, muscular body.

He contemplated how to roast this top-tier ingredient to make it taste the best.

After all, this was a Demon Emperor level demon beast; wasting it by cooking it poorly would truly be a pity.

Being watched by so many Qingtian Sect disciples,

the Giant Ape Demon Emperor's fur grew even redder, and his face was filled with humiliation.

He had dominated the Canglan Continent for tens of thousands of years, a dignified Demon Emperor of the Demon Kingdom, yet he was captured alive by humans and gawked at like a monkey.

If Elder Zhao Da hadn't sealed his body, he would have definitely smashed himself to death on this plaza.

However, when he sensed the terrifying density of spiritual energy in the Qingtian Sect, his expression turned to shock.

He had never absorbed spiritual energy this terrifyingly dense in his entire life.

If he had lived in the Qingtian Sect since childhood, he would have become an Emperor tens of thousands of years earlier.

But a place with such terrifying spiritual energy simply didn't exist on the Canglan Continent, and he was momentarily curious as to where Elder Zhao Da had brought him.

"Alright, stop looking. Go do what you need to do."

Elder Zhao Da waved his hand at the Qingtian Sect disciples watching on the plaza.

He then channeled several streams of power, shrinking the Giant Ape Demon Emperor's body to the size of a normal human, and led him toward the Qingtian Sect Main Hall.

Seeing Elder Zhao Da leave with the Giant Ape Demon Emperor,

the Qingtian Sect disciples on the plaza didn't pay much more attention; those who needed to cultivate cultivated, and those who needed to turn in missions did so.

Soon, they returned to their previous state.

In front of the Qingtian Sect Main Hall.

Elder Zhao Da, leading the Giant Ape Demon Emperor, slowly walked toward the Main Hall entrance.

The bound Giant Ape Demon Emperor looked at the enlightenment tea tree in front of the Main Hall, his jaw dropping in shock.

As a Demon Emperor who had lived for tens of thousands of years, he naturally knew that the tree before him was the enlightenment tea tree.

But wasn't the enlightenment tea tree supposed to be in a Secret Realm in the Central Region? How could it appear here?

The Giant Ape Demon Emperor was filled with questions.

Everything about the Qingtian Sect was utterly shocking.

First, the abnormally terrifying spiritual energy, and now, the enlightenment tea tree—the only one on the entire Canglan Continent—was planted within the Sect. It was simply unbelievable.

"Move quickly!"

Sensing the Giant Ape Demon Emperor slowing down,

Elder Zhao Da shouted, pulling hard on the Giant Ape Demon Emperor, and walked toward the Main Hall.

Upon reaching the entrance.

Elder Zhao Da bowed and saluted toward the interior of the hall, saying, "Reporting to the Sect Master, this Subordinate and the others have captured a Demon Emperor and specifically brought it back for the Sect Master to deal with."

A Demon Emperor was extremely useful.

Whether used as a Mountain Guardian Beast or refined into a complete ultimate dao emperor weapon, it could realize immense value.

Of course, the specific choice had to be decided by Jiang Chen, the Sect Master.

"Mm, bring it in," Jiang Chen's calm voice drifted out.

"Come on, follow me inside!" Elder Zhao Da dragged the Spiritual Energy Chain on the Giant Ape Demon Emperor, pulling him into the Qingtian Sect Main Hall.
