147: By accident

It was the Wind Demon General who woke up, and his first reaction upon receiving the news was disbelief.

He understood the Heavenly Demon General well, and besides, what good would it do the Heavenly Demon General to betray the Demon Race at this time?

Then, the Wind Demon General suddenly vanished, like a gentle breeze.

The Wind Demon General was famous for his speed.

However, the Wind Demon General didn't resemble a Demon Race member at all; instead, he was like a refined Young Master, without a trace of Devilish Qi on him.

When the Wind Demon General reappeared, he was directly in front of Li Daoxuan.

"Are you the Heavenly Demon General? No! You are not the Heavenly Demon General!"

"Who exactly are you?"

Li Daoxuan had disguised himself very well, but he was still recognized by the Wind Demon General at a glance.

Outside the palace, a large number of demon soldiers had gathered, tightly surrounding the palace.

However, no one dared to enter the palace.

No other reason than this was the Demon God Palace, also their Demon Race's Forbidden Ground, and inside, their King was undergoing Nirvana...

The Heavenly Demon General had been tricked by Li Daoxuan; not only did he fail to capture Li Daoxuan, but he also let him rescue his prey.

The Heavenly Demon General was very depressed; only after venting his frustration at the Heavenly Demon Sect did he feel much better.

As soon as he returned to the demon lair, he immediately felt that the atmosphere was a bit off.

"What are you all doing? What happened?"

Whoosh!

The demon soldiers immediately pointed their weapons at the Heavenly Demon General, and a leading demon soldier angrily said,

"You, Heavenly Demon General, how dare you betray the Demon Race! Die!"

"Kill him!"

Heavenly Demon General: "???"

There were also some smart demon soldiers; they were very confused. Hadn't the Heavenly Demon General broken into the Demon God Palace? How did he suddenly appear behind them again?

The Heavenly Demon General was utterly bewildered, looking at the agitated demon soldiers. Even with his profound cultivation, his scalp tingled.

He roared, "Stop! What are you all doing?!"

"Betray the Demon Race? Where did that come from?"

"Quickly capture him and hand him over to my King for disposal."

Although the Heavenly Demon General was a bit bewildered, he would absolutely not surrender. Whatever it was, he would beat them down first.

Outside the Demon God Palace, a great battle erupted.

Inside the Demon God Palace, Li Daoxuan was confronting the Wind Demon General.

"Heheheh~ Am I not the Heavenly Demon General?" Li Daoxuan even imitated his laughter and tone perfectly.

"Heh heh! Then let me see your true face." Before he finished speaking, the Wind Demon General had already approached Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan, however, was unhurried. He directly threw a punch at the Wind Demon General's face.

However, the moment Li Daoxuan's fist touched the Wind Demon General, the Wind Demon General suddenly transformed into wisps of clear wind and vanished, then reappeared behind Li Daoxuan.

The Wind Demon General reached out, directly trying to pull off Li Daoxuan's black robe.

How could Li Daoxuan let him succeed? He used Divine Speed to its maximum, dodging the Wind Demon General's hand as if teleporting.

"I'm not playing with you anymore!" Li Daoxuan said, then vanished directly.

This Wind Demon General was a bit interesting; he could transform into clear wind, and combined with his speed, it wouldn't be easy for Li Daoxuan to take him down quickly.

Li Daoxuan still decided to first see what was hidden within this palace.

The Wind Demon General frowned; this person was a bit troublesome.

The Wind Demon General was about to give chase, but then he suddenly laughed in anger, scolding, "These idiots, even now they can't distinguish between friend and foe."

"The Heavenly Demon General is also an idiot; I told him to guard the entrance, and he didn't even know someone had snuck in."

The Wind Demon General's figure vanished again, and the next moment, he appeared at the main entrance of the palace.

"Stop! Everyone, stop for this Venerable One!"

"Ah! Wind Demon General, you have awakened! Quick, please make a move to capture this traitor."

The Wind Demon General angrily said, "A bunch of idiots, unable to distinguish between friend and foe."

"There's someone else who forced their way into the Demon God Palace; it's not the Heavenly Demon General."

"Ah?"

The Heavenly Demon General happily said, "Crazy fellow, good thing you came in time to clear my name."

"Hmph! You have the nerve, don't you? The enemy has already broken in, do you know that?"

"This..."

"Are you still not coming with me into the Demon God Palace to catch him? The rest of you, guard the Demon God Palace well for this Venerable One."

"Yes!"

It seemed the Wind Demon General's prestige was higher than the Heavenly Demon General's.

The Heavenly Demon General could only silently follow the Wind Demon General into the Demon God Palace, unable to resist asking, "Who is the intruder?"

The Wind Demon General carefully scrutinized the Heavenly Demon General before saying, "A black robe, yes! Exactly like your attire."

"What?" The Heavenly Demon General's eyes widened instantly, and then he thought of someone.

It was that person who had rescued his prey.

"Wah ya ya! I'm furious! Now that you say that, I know who it is."

"How dare he impersonate me? He's practically courting death."

"Do you know that person?"

"No!"

Wind Demon General: "!!!" If you don't know him, what the hell are you talking about?

The two began searching everywhere for Li Daoxuan's shadow, but found nothing.

"Not good!" The Wind Demon General suddenly reacted and quickly fled towards the center of the main hall.

Li Daoxuan was unfamiliar with this place, but he knew that the more bizarre, unique, and peculiar a place was, the more problematic it would be.

Li Daoxuan followed the areas with dense Devilish Qi, searching continuously, and he truly found the core of the palace.

"Gurgle! Gurgle! Gurgle!"

Looking towards the sound, Li Daoxuan suddenly saw a massive blood pool, with blood churning within it.

The blood pool was surrounded by twelve pillars on all sides. Complex inscriptions were carved on the pillars and around the blood pool, and these inscriptions were constantly flickering.

"Doesn't this look a bit like a Blood Sacrifice Array?"

"My goodness! There are even people on the pillars, still being bled!"

Li Daoxuan finally discovered the people tied to the pillars, exactly twelve of them.

"Could these be the Heavenly Demon Sect's Grand Elder, Sect Master, and Ten Elders? That's quite a complete set."

Li Daoxuan found it a bit amusing. The Heavenly Demon Sect was, after all, one of the top demon sects, yet they had been wiped out in one fell swoop.

Even more ridiculous was that only one Saintess managed to escape?

Li Daoxuan's figure appeared. He didn't dare to get close to the blood pool, standing far away, his tone slightly gossipy: "Everyone, you've all worked hard, huh."

"Hmph! Just give this old man a quick death, why not just kill us directly?"

"Why humiliate us like this!"

"Cough cough! Everyone, you've misunderstood, I am not a member of the Demon Race." Li Daoxuan explained, then asked, "Are you all from the Heavenly Demon Sect?"

"Heh heh heh... Heavenly Demon Sect? Is there even a Heavenly Demon Sect now?"

Li Daoxuan guessed this person should be the Heavenly Demon Sect's Sect Master. At this moment, he was very pessimistic, and rightly so; the Heavenly Demon Sect had been destroyed in his hands, so how could he face anyone...

At this moment, a gaunt old man laboriously raised his head and looked at Li Daoxuan.

"You're truly not from the Demon Race?"

Li Daoxuan removed his disguise; the Devilish Qi receded, the blood-fiend aura vanished, and a righteous aura burst forth. Even though he was still wearing a black robe, it couldn't conceal Li Daoxuan's demeanor.

The old man's eyes lit up, then he urgently said, "Fellow Daoist, hurry and leave, it will be too late if you delay."

Li Daoxuan was stunned and asked, "Don't you all want me to rescue you?"

"It's too late!"

"Also, we are almost at our last gasp; even if we are rescued, we can only wait for death."

"Fellow Daoist, leave quickly, otherwise it will truly be too late."
