The demons didn't expect Ling Jin to be so ruthless as soon as she arrived. Many of the demons were intimidated and lowered their gazes, not daring to look at Ling Jin directly. The prestige that the Ling Clan had accumulated over the years began to ferment in their hearts again.
Ling Jin took a panoramic view of everyone's reaction. She was quite satisfied with their attitude. She had to let them know who had the final say in the City of Myriad Demons.
However, Ling Jin also knew that she couldn't just suppress them. After intimidating everyone with her bloody methods, she slowly took two steps forward. Just as she was about to explain about the rumor, another demon spoke up first.
"Commander Ling, what do you mean by this? Could it be that the rumor is true? Do you really want to sacrifice us? Even though we respect your Ling Family, we are not your slaves! " The demon's tone was rather impolite. He stared at Ling Jin with a burning gaze and an overbearing aura.
Ling Jin couldn't help but raise her brows when she heard this. She didn't expect that there would still be people who dared to talk back to her after she displayed her methods.
As soon as the demon spoke, some of the demons who were unconvinced immediately followed suit and shouted, "That's right, Commander Ling, could it be that you have a guilty conscience and want to silence us by killing us?"
"This is a matter of life and death. We will never give in!"
"If you want to kill us, then kill us all!"
"I don't care about returning to the Heavenly Domain. I don't believe that you can take us back!"
...
The voices of the demons grew louder and louder. Some of the demons who didn't dare to speak up were influenced by the surrounding demons and couldn't help but speak up.
Seeing that the crowd was getting more and more agitated, Ling Jin and Ling Yu looked at each other and a bad feeling flashed through their hearts.
Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes and stared at the demons below the stage. He discovered some clues. The first demon who stood up and led the demons to resist actually quietly retreated after the crowd became agitated and disappeared into the crowd. Not only that, but some of the devils who had agreed at the beginning were also no longer making a ruckus. Instead, they were silently watching the rest of the devils making a ruckus.
"Commander Ling, the second step of the Xuan Clan's plan against you has already begun. If I'm not mistaken, it was the Xuan Clan who talked back to you just now. They're deliberately adding fuel to the fire and inciting the demons' anger towards you," Lu Xuan reminded.
Ling Jin sneered, "I know that the Xuan Family only knows how to play dirty tricks, but it won't be that easy to use the power of the demons to topple my Ling Family!"
Taking a deep breath, Ling Jin gathered all his strength and shouted: "Silence! All of you shut up! "
This time, Ling Jin had already used her half-step Demon Venerable strength. The huge sound waves caused Lu Xuan's eardrums to hurt. Perhaps half of the Myriad Demons City could hear this sound.
With Ling Jin's yell, the voices gradually quieted down. Without the Xuan Clan's interference, there weren't many demons who dared to stand up to the Ling Clan.
Ling Jin's cold gaze swept across the crowd and she said in a low voice: "A mere rumor has thrown you into confusion. You really are regressing the longer you live! You suspect the Ling Family just because of some groundless rumors. Don't forget who led you here in the past! "
"Since you want an explanation, I'll give you one. This person beside me is the emissary from the Heaven Region, Supremacy Xia. Supremacy Xia has come down to the lower realm under the orders of the Demon Emperor to guide us back to the Heaven Region. With Supremacy Xia's power, he can easily break the barrier of the Heavenly Sword Continent. There's no need for your sacrifices! The previous rumor was deliberately spread by someone with ulterior motives to deceive you. "
Ling Jin pushed Lu Xuan forward. She had invited Lu Xuan here to increase the confidence of the demons. A Celestial Demon that they had never seen before, no one would believe him if he said he didn't come from the Heaven Region.
However, there would always be people who wouldn't let Ling Jin get what she wanted so easily. At this moment, a strange voice sounded, "He is clearly only a Demon Emperor. How can he be called a Supremacy? If he really was a Supremacy, then I would believe it. After all, everyone knows that it's impossible to break through to the Demon Venerable Realm on the Demon Sealing Continent. But now, he only has this kind of strength. I can't help but suspect that the Ling Family deliberately hid it to deceive us. "
Ling Yu flew into a rage when he heard this. How dare he question the Ling Family again and again? He must be tired of living!
Just as Ling Yu was about to start a massacre, Ling Jin stopped him. Ling Yu's attack just now had provoked the demons to denounce him. If he started a massacre now, it might have the opposite effect.
Ling Jin's gaze fell on the demon who had spoken, and she sneered, "If I remember correctly, you should be a subordinate of the Xuan Family, right? Questioning the Ling Family, is this your idea, or Xuan Jianan's? "
The demon couldn't help but be stunned when his identity was suddenly exposed. He didn't think that a commander like Ling Jin would remember such a small character like him.
In reality, Ling Jin didn't know him. There were many demons in the City of Ten Thousand Demons. Ling Jin didn't even know all the demons under the Ling Family, so how could she remember a small fry from the Xuan Family? However, she was talented and intelligent, so it wasn't difficult for her to guess that these demons who were adding fuel to the fire were arranged by the Xuan Family.
Although his identity was exposed by Ling Jin, the demon didn't panic. He continued to shout, "That's right, I am indeed a subordinate of Commander Xuan, but so what? Returning to the Heaven Region is an important matter for all demons. Can't I represent myself and verify the truth with Commander Ling? Unless Commander Ling can prove that this Heaven Region Envoy really has the strength of a Demon Venerable, I will never believe that he is from the Heaven Region! "
"Yes! Prove that he has the strength of a Demon Venerable, and we will believe Commander Ling's words! "Countless demons shouted.
In an instant, Ling Jin and the others were forced into a corner. Ling Jin's heart was filled with hatred. These demons clearly didn't trust the Ling Family. Otherwise, why would they need Lu Xuan to prove his strength? However, she knew that Lu Xuan's strength hadn't recovered yet, so he couldn't display the strength of a Demon Venerable.
Ling Jin turned to look at Lu Xuan. She was asking for Lu Xuan's opinion.
Lu Xuan's expression was calm. He walked forward expressionlessly and looked down at the demons below the stage. He said calmly, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. You don't have the right to make me prove my strength. The Demon Emperor pitied you all for being trapped in the lower realm for tens of thousands of years, so he ordered me to come down and pick you up. If you are willing to follow me back to the Heaven Region, then go. If you don't, then you can stay here forever. However, I guarantee that if you miss this opportunity, you will be trapped here forever, including your descendants! "
Lu Xuan's plain words did not show the slightest deterrence, but every word penetrated the hearts of the demons. For a time, none of the demons made a sound.
Yes, no one begged them to go back. It was the Demon Emperor who pitied them and sent people to pick them up. He didn't come to beg them to go back. If you want to go back, then go back. If you don't want to go back, then do as you please. More importantly, what Lu Xuan said at the end was that if they missed this opportunity, they, including their descendants, would never have the chance to return to the Heaven Region.
Ling Yu looked at Lu Xuan with admiration. As expected of an emissary from the Heaven Region, Lu Xuan's attitude was extraordinary. He looked down on these messy demons and said, "You can do whatever you want."
Ling Jin also revealed a smile. It seemed that calling Lu Xuan here was a good decision. However, just as she thought she had successfully convinced the demons, the troublemaker appeared again.
"Don't try to change the topic. Since you can't prove it, that means you don't dare. I think you are a fake messenger from the Heaven Region! Even if you really are a messenger from the Heaven Region, what we care about now is not whether or not we can return to the Heaven Region, but whether or not the Ling Clan will sacrifice us to achieve their unspeakable goal! If you don't explain everything clearly today, we will not let this matter rest! "
"That's right, we have lived on the Demon Sealing Continent for tens of thousands of years. We have already taken root here. We don't want to return to the Heaven Region."
"Our understanding of the Heaven Region only exists in the records. Those records were written by the Ling Clan. Who knows what the Heaven Region is like? I would rather stay on the Demon Sealing Continent than go to the Heaven Region that I have never seen before!"
"That's right, we can live well on the Demon Sealing Continent. Why should we go back to the Heaven Region?"
Under the push of a few Demon Clans, the crowd of Demon Clans once again set off a wave of opposition to returning to the Heaven Realm. This was indeed the voice of the majority of Demon Clans. Their understanding of the Heaven Realm was practically blank, and they did not even know what kind of place it was. Who would be willing to abandon their current stable life to return to the Heaven Realm?
"Just now, Lord Xia said that if you don't want to return, then don't. No one will force you." Ling Jin emphasized what Lu Xuan had said.
"But if you want to sacrifice the Demon Sealing Continent to open the barrier, we will not comply!"
Seeing the demons insist that the Ling Clan wanted to sacrifice the Demon Sealing Continent, Ling Jin was a little annoyed. She didn't think that this rumor would be so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In other words, she didn't think that the Ling Clan's credibility would be so low. She immediately said angrily, "Then what do you want to believe?"
Hearing Ling Jin's question, the rowdy demons couldn't help but look at each other in dismay. That's right, how could they believe it? In the past, everyone naturally believed Ling Jin's words, but now that it was a matter of life and death, they weren't willing to believe Ling Jin.
A sinister voice came from the group of demons, "What's so difficult about that? As long as Commander Ling kills this so-called Heavenly Region Emissary, everyone will naturally not be able to return to the Heavenly Region and believe you."
Ling Jin was enraged when she heard this. If she killed Lu Xuan, how would she return to the Heavenly Region and solve the predicament the Ling Clan was facing?
"Impudent! How dare you disrespect Lord Xia! You should be executed!" Ling Jin shouted angrily and quickly found the demon who had just spoken. He personally made his move and a strong force instantly pierced through the demon's body, killing him in one strike!
Ling Jin's sudden attack instantly suppressed the demons, but it only lasted for a moment before a mournful voice rang out, "The Ling Clan has begun to silence us! Kill the Heavenly Region Emissary and overthrow the Ling Clan! "
"Kill the Heavenly Region Emissary and overthrow the Ling Clan!"
A series of slogans sounded out at the same time. Lu Xuan and Ling Jin raised their heads to look at the front at the same time, only to see countless well-equipped demons rushing over at an incomparably fast speed.
Ling Jin said word by word, "Xuan Clan!"
