The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1523 - 1520: The Demon Lord and the Thirty-Six Demon Saints!

Chapter 1523: Chapter 1520: The Demon Lord and the Thirty-Six Demon Saints!

Lin Bai walked out from the Five-colored Pavilion, and the last words of the old man in white opened the door to a new world for him.

"Indeed, if I can’t find a sword skill suitable for the Slaughter Comprehension on the Lingnan Continent, then why don’t I create one myself?"

"My father was able to establish a world-renowned ’Dragon Slayer’ when he was in his twenties, so naturally, I can do it too."

Lin Bai’s gaze became increasingly determined, resolved to create a set of sword skills suitable for himself.

After returning to Little Spirit Stream and pondering over the ’Devouring Sun Sword Skill’ for three days, Lin Bai then got up and left the Little Spirit Stream.

Arriving at the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s mountain gate, he looked back in the direction of Sword Master Peak and said indifferently, "Forget it, there’s no need to report to the Sword Venerable. Once the Sword Venerable knows I want to go to Haizhen City, he probably won’t allow it."

"Just sneak away."

Lin Bai quietly left the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect alone and headed for Haizhen City in the Linhai Dynasty.

When Lin Bai left the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect.

Inside a dark underground palace within the Litian Dynasty, a wrinkled black-robed elder, wearing a cloak, walked step by step through a dark passageway, reaching its end.

At the end of the passageway was a vast underground palace, where stone seats were intricately carved into the surrounding walls, as if by the work of ghosts and gods.

On these stone seats, a group of shadows with powerful auras sat.

If one looked carefully, one would find there were a total of thirty-seven stone seats in this place, and at the moment, thirty-three of them were occupied by figures, with only four seats near the edge remaining empty with not a single person.

In the very center of the thirty-seven stone seats, there was a stone seat made of piled-up skulls, positioned at a higher status - this seat stood a whole step above the other seats.

The man in black walked through the dark passageway and into this plaza, took down his cloak and bowed with clasped hands, saying, "Old man Mizuka, pays his respects to the Demon Lord and the thirty-six Demon Saints!"

The skull seat was shrouded in black mist, obscuring the specific features of the person.

He was the Demon Lord of the Valley of Demons!

The Demon Lord said coldly, "Mizuka, do you know that after the battle at Zhu’s Fairy City, our Valley of Demons lost four Demon Saints in the Yangshen Realm?"

Mizuka nodded, "I am aware."

The Demon Lord sneered, "Humph, the Junior Sword Venerate of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect has quite the audacity, daring to be so brazenly opposed to our Valley of Demons! He really is courting death."

"Merely a Junior Sword Venerate, does he think he is the Sword Venerable of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect?"

The Demon Lord scoffed disdainfully.

Mizuka said, "Lord Demon Lord speaks the truth."

The Demon Lord said coldly, "It’s just a pity that Dongfang Bai has been cooped up in the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect since the battle at Zhu’s Fairy City. He doesn’t come out, and naturally, we cannot just march into the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, after all, that Sword Venerable’s strength is enough to change the landscape of the Lingnan Continent."

Mizuka chuckled, "I am here today exactly to relieve Lord Demon Lord of this worry."

The Demon Lord asked curiously, "Oh? Do you have a way?"

Mizuka chuckled, "I have received reliable information that ten days ago, Dongfang Bai had already left the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect quietly, and I have also had people monitor his whereabouts. It seems he is planning to leave the Litian Dynasty and go to the Linhai Dynasty."

"If I’m not mistaken, he must be going to attend the Divine Weapon Feast."

The Demon Lord chuckled, "I almost forgot, the once-in-a-decade Divine Weapon Feast is about to start again. I wonder how many Divine Soldier Weapons will emerge from the Lingnan Continent this year."

"Now that Dongfang Bai has left the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, it’s time to intimidate them. Over the past year, the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect has been frantically trying to root out our Valley of Demons’ influence."

"They want to find us, right? Then let’s take the initiative and go meet them!"

Upon hearing the Demon Lord’s words, Mizuka chuckled, "Then it seems that yet another Junior Sword Venerate from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect is about to die in Haizhen City. I wonder which Demon Saint Your Excellency plans to send."

"I must remind Your Excellency that Dongfang Bai’s strength is already on par with the First Level of the Yangshen Realm, and ordinary people are not his match!"

As Mizuka spoke, the Demon Lord had yet to respond when a man exuding a wild aura stood up from one of the stone seats, "Just a Junior Sword Venerate, it’s not that I haven’t killed one before."

"Demon Lord, let me go."

Hearing the voice, Mizuka turned and saw the middle-aged man who had stood from his seat, his gaze involuntarily tightening, "Hantian Demon Saint!"

The Demon Lord nodded slightly and asked, "Mizuka, do you think the Hantian Demon Saint can match Dongfang Bai?"

With eyes slightly squinted and a cold smile gracing his lips, Mizuka said, "A hundred years ago, Chen Pan, Young Sword Master, met his end at the hands of the Hantian Demon Saint. With the Hantian Demon Saint taking action, killing Dongfang Bai would naturally be as easy as turning over one’s hand!"

The Demon Lord chuckled and said, "In that case, Hantian Demon Saint, you go to Haizhen City. Make sure to kill Dongfang Bai and give the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect a show of force!"

"Don’t worry, Demon Lord. I have no interest in the Inner Disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, but when it comes to the Junior Sword Venerates, I am very willing to serve." Hantian Demon Saint said with a faint smile.

Mizuka said, "Your Excellency, since the Hantian Demon Saint is taking care of Dongfang Bai, should we consider establishing a new stronghold and choosing a new family?"

The Demon Lord said, "Hmm! Since Zhu’s Fairy City’s Zhu Family has been wiped out, we should indeed find another representative. After all, the Valley of Demons still needs a vast amount of resources to enhance the strength of our Demon Clan."

Mizuka suggested, "Your Excellency, I do have a few suitable families in mind, such as..."

The ensuing discussion involved Mizuka suggesting that a family with decent strength take over the Zhu Family’s seat, becoming the new representatives of the Valley of Demons. After much deliberation in the Underground Palace, the Demon Lord finally made a decision.

"Now that Your Excellency has made a decision, please do not forget my share," Mizuka said with a smile.

"Mizuka, since you are willing to work for the Valley of Demons, of course, the Valley won’t forget your share," the Demon Lord said lightly.

"Thank you, Demon Lord!"

Afterward, Mizuka, full of pride, left the Underground Palace.

Stepping out of the Underground Palace, Mizuka looked up at the blazing sun in the sky and murmured softly, "Dongfang Bai, Dongfang Bai. You survived Zhu’s Fairy City, but I wonder if you can escape the clutches of the Hantian Demon Saint."

"I think it’s unlikely. After all, Chen Pan was hunted by the Hantian Demon Saint for over a month, only to die on Gu Ye Mountain in the end!"

A cold smile appeared on Mizuka’s lips.

In Zhu’s Fairy City, the Man in Black who had assisted the Zhu Family was none other than Mizuka!

Mizuka was also one of the representatives of the Valley of Demons, with a higher status than the Zhu Family. He did not have to personally capture Warriors; he only needed to provide covert assistance.

But after each trade of captured Warriors, Mizuka received a significant share of Spiritual Stones, even more than the Zhu Family.
