The crowd was stunned, then enraged.
"Who dares to speak such treason in my demon race's ancestral land, disrespecting my demon race? You court death."
A volatile demon Immortal King bellowed, turning his cold gaze towards the newcomers.
A tall and a small figure slowly approached. The man was imposing, his black hair unbound, swaying in the wind.
A faint smile played on his lips, his purple eyes deep and chilling, devoid of any emotion.
In contrast, the little girl beside him appeared somewhat cute. Her large eyes darted around, observing everything like a curious child.
Mu Changqing glanced at the speaker, his purple eyes flickering slightly.
The next moment, a terrifying scene unfolded.
The speaker was engulfed in purple flames, his body involuntarily rising into the air, burning at a great height. He wailed in agony, yet could not die.
The crowd was terrified. A dignified Immortal King, facing this youth, was utterly defenseless.
"Too noisy."
Mu Changqing spoke softly.
The demon Immortal King in the sky could no longer make a sound. In the next instant, his body exploded, turning into nothingness.
Dragon Ruins Immortal King flashed before Mu Changqing, blocking him from the other demon Immortal Kings. With a grave expression, he clasped his hands in greeting.
"Senior, has our demon race offended you in some way? Why do you attack our demon race's Immortal Kings?"
Mu Changqing did not answer immediately. His gaze swept past the Immortal Kings, landing on the demon race's young master.
"Yinyin, your dinner for today is secured."
Mu Changqing smiled faintly, patting Yinyin's excited little head.
As he spoke, Mu Changqing, holding Yinyin's hand, moved like a phantom, instantly passing through all the demon Immortal Kings and appearing before the demon race's young master.
Dragon Ruins Immortal King was the first to react, shouting in alarm.
"Protect the young master."
Just as the various Immortal Kings were about to act, the demon race's young master waved her hand and bowed respectfully to Mu Changqing.
Although her expression remained calm, the fear within her was undeniable, her body trembling uncontrollably. It was an instinctual fear, like encountering a natural predator.
The Quasi-Immortal Emperor guardian behind her was stiff, daring not to move an inch. Mu Changqing could crush a mere Quasi-Immortal Emperor with a flick of his finger.
The demon Immortal Kings, confused, were about to question her when the demon race's young master spoke, her words plunging them into the abyss.
"Greetings, Lord Burial Emperor."
Mu Changqing showed a hint of surprise, calmly observing the demon race's young master. He spoke with interest.
"You know me?"
"I had the honor of meeting you once."
The demon race's young master swallowed, forcing back the discomfort caused by her trembling body.
"Are you a being from the Era of Emperor's Fall?"
"Yes."
"Do you know why I am here?"
"No."
It was precisely this unknown that filled the demon race's young master with dread.
Mu Changqing fell silent, quietly observing this young master of the Emperor's Fall demon race. Indeed, she was a harbinger of great fortune, possessing the heaven-defying physique of the Chaos Green Lotus Body! Thus, Mu Changqing could easily guess who the innate being behind her was.
"Alright, it's good that you don't know. You're quite a genius, what a pity."
As he spoke, Mu Changqing slowly extended his right hand, intending to strip the primordial purple energy from her body.
At that moment, the void tore open, and the Chaos Green Lotus appeared. It fixed its icy gaze on Mu Changqing and spoke coldly.
"You've finally decided to show yourself?"
Mu Changqing looked at the Chaos Green Lotus and smiled. He had naturally guessed that the Chaos Green Lotus was hiding nearby, but he hadn't paid it any mind, nor had he asked Yinyin to help pinpoint its exact location.
"Burial Emperor, I helped you before. Why are you still targeting my disciple?"
The Chaos Green Lotus moved like a phantom, shielding the demon race's young master behind it, its gaze towards Mu Changqing filled with intense apprehension.
Mu Changqing did not stop it, his expression unchanged. He swept a casual glance over the two.
"Why do I need a reason to act? All beings in this world know everything. I do as I please."
As he spoke, faint purple flames rose around Mu Changqing, spreading and instantly turning any creature they touched into nothingness. The surrounding demon Immortal Kings fled in terror, only to find themselves trapped as if in a quagmire, unable to move. The purple flames crept along the ground, and the demon Immortal Kings roared in despair, their voices filled with rage. They were unwilling to perish, to be erased from the river of time.
The Chaos Green Lotus was speechless at Mu Changqing's domineering and unreasonable words. As for the demon Immortal Kings, as an innate being, it had never cared for their lives. Even its disciple, the demon race's young master, was merely a piece on its chessboard.
The demon race's young master's face changed drastically. Seeing the demon race's foundation about to be erased by Mu Changqing, she became extremely anxious. She was not an innate being and naturally possessed emotions. As the demon race's young master, she bore the future of the demon race.
"Master..."
"Silence!"
The Chaos Green Lotus snapped. It could barely protect its disciple now, let alone concern itself with the demon race.
Mu Changqing's expression remained unchanged throughout. The demon Immortal Kings were filled with fear and trembling. The terrifying existence that controlled billions of beings, the demon ancestor, was now like an ant, its life held in Mu Changqing's grasp.
"Burial Emperor, what exactly do you want? I will not let you take her."
The Chaos Green Lotus spoke coldly. It did not belong to the Human Ancestor or Demon Ancestor's faction. It had been secretly plotting since the Era of Emperor's Fall, proceeding with extreme caution. Who knew it would still be discovered by Mu Changqing.
Mu Changqing gently stroked Yinyin's head, her eyes filled with longing for the primordial purple energy. He spoke calmly.
"Tell me the locations of the four innate beings who fought me back then."
Mu Changqing was a vengeful person. If provoked, he would not let it go.
The Chaos Green Lotus's face stiffened, instantly turning as cold as frost.
"Impossible. Last time I helped you eliminate the Realm Spirit, I already alerted the other innate beings. If I lead them out for you again, I will surely be ostracized or even attacked. I don't want to become a pariah like that fool, the Dao Ancestor."
Mu Changqing couldn't help but chuckle. The old Dao Ancestor truly had a bad reputation.
"Fine, since you're unwilling, then it's you."
As he spoke, the entire demon race's domain instantly turned a deep purple, severing all escape routes for the Chaos Green Lotus. Mu Changqing's expression also turned cold. Terrifying purple flames rose from his right hand, exuding a terrifying aura that could bury all. The heavens darkened, and Mu Changqing did not mind erasing the Chaos Green Lotus along with everything else.
The Chaos Green Lotus's pretty face changed dramatically. It hurriedly said,
"Burial Emperor, I am willing, but only if I am affiliated with your faction and you guarantee my safety."
The Chaos Green Lotus was afraid. It knew Mu Changqing never joked. If it hesitated any longer, Mu Changqing would decisively strike and eliminate it, removing it from the game prematurely. Since there was no other choice, why not choose to submit to Mu Changqing and ensure it wouldn't be eliminated early?
