Qin Wentian and Juyu returned to the devil palace Juyu was in. The devil battle was still ongoing but Qin Wentian didn't care about this.
No matter who the first-ranked devil general was, it had nothing to do with him.
Ultimately, there were no changes to the ranking. The first-ranked devil general was still the first-ranked devil general, nobody could shake him. The second-ranked devil general, the Blood Butcher, was still the third-ranked devil general.
Everything that happened next naturally had nothing to do with Juyu who had withdrawn from the devil battle. Since she had withdrawn and handed over her position, the new devil general Qin Wentian was merely the 28th ranked devil general.
In the devil palace Qin Wentian was in, the atmosphere was somewhat cold and cheerless. Juyu's injuries were gradually recovering. At this moment, the two of them stood outside the palace and stared downwards.
"Your devil knights and the devil army you control are inferior to the ninth-ranked devil general, Lu Xuejia." Qin Wentian directly spoke.
"Now, she is already yours." Juyu smiled. "However, during these days, because of the rumors in the outside world as well as the betrayal, these people are all absent-minded. Most probably, they are all mocking me, a former devil general."
"I was defeated by the third-ranked devil general, what qualifications do they have to mock me? As for my position as a devil general, if you want it, I can give it back to you anytime." Qin Wentian spoke.
"I've already offended many people. Becoming a devil general would be very miserable for me. It's more suitable for me to be your protector. I believe that this is a bright path for me." Juyu, the former last-ranked devil general, was actually willing to be a protector.
Although she was ranked last, if she was a protector, she would definitely be able to stand on equal footing with those top-ranked protectors.
"Devil generals as protectors?" Qin Wentian laughed.
In the devil palace Lu Xuejia was in, she sat on the majestic devil throne. Devil might radiated from her as a faint black devil sword light could be seen revolving around her.
At this moment, Lu Xuejia abruptly opened her eyes as a dazzling sword light gleamed in them.
"Men." Lu Xuejia's cold voice rang out. As the sound of her voice faded, a devil knight bowed, "I pay my respects to devil general."
"Are there any movements in the residence of the 28th devil general?" Lu Xuejia asked.
"No, the devil general Qin Wentian and the ex-devil general Juyu have never stepped out of the devil hall."
"Continue to pay attention to the movements, report back to me at any time." Lu Xuejia coldly said. The man then took his leave.
Lu Xuejia's beautiful eyes stared out of the Devil Palace as Qin Wentian's silhouette appeared in her deep and dark eyes. In the past, she had never thought that her state of mind would be disturbed by a protector. However, the appearance of Qin Wentian had done it.
She wanted to see Qin Wentian, who had been her protector in the past. She wanted to see how he would end up in the Devil's Doctrine.
However ever since Juyu was injured, Qin Wentian, who was the devil general, didn't make any moves. In fact, the devil knights under him as well as the devil army had no reaction at all.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed. Juyu's injuries had already recovered.
Today, on the stairway leading up to the devil hall, Qin Wentian and Juyu stood there, staring at the people in the devil hall.
The people in this devil hall seemed to have become extremely lazy ever since the devil ranking battle. They were far from the imposing manner Qin Wentian saw in Lu Xuejia's devil hall back then. Qin Wentian could only smile and shake his head.
"Do we really want to go?" Juyu asked.
"Are you afraid?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Since I'm already your protector, since you have made the decision, I naturally have to go with you. It's just that... only the two of us?" Juyu stared at the people in the devil hall as she asked.
"Have you forgotten how those people betrayed you back then? It's just a single sentence from the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan. What's the use of having so many people?" Qin Wentian had a mocking smile on his face as he stepped forward.
Juyu stared at Qin Wentian as a soul-stirring light flashed in her eyes. It was extremely rare for her to have such a radiant light in her eyes. The young man who came from the immortal realms exuded an aura that caused people to yearn for him.
With a flash of her silhouette, Juyu followed after Qin Wentian. A radiant smile appeared on her face and at this moment, the coldness and devilish intent radiating from her had completely vanished.
Being able to fight this battle, even if she died, she wouldn't regret it.
...
The devil sects in the four directions. In the direction of the northern devil palace, the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan's devil hall was incomparably imposing. There were experts guarding the entrance and a black-colored flame dragon statue could be seen there, looking extremely lifelike.
Qin Wentian and Juyu were currently standing outside the devil hall. Their gazes were staring ahead.
"Who are you guys?" The guards at the entrance berated.
"The # 28 devil general Qin Wentian is here to challenge the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan." Behind Qin Wentian, Juyu stepped out as she spoke.
As a protector of Qin Wentian, there were some things that Juyu naturally had to do. The her at this moment had already set aside her pride as a devil general. Right now, she was merely a protector of Qin Wentian.
Hence, she walked forward. Although she was alone, she still moved forward steadily, exuding a cold aura as she opened up a path.
The two of them came to the devil hall of the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan to challenge him. Not only that, he was the # 28 devil general. If it wasn't for them personally witnessing this, the guards would have thought that they had heard wrongly. In the Blackstone Devil Sect, there had never been such a ridiculous thing before.
But at this moment, there were only two people standing before them. There wasn't even a single devil knight among them.
Although they felt that this was ridiculous, as a former devil general, the guards knew that Juyu wasn't someone they could contend against. Hence, they didn't obstruct them, allowing Juyu and Qin Wentian to walk past them, opening up a path for them.
Juyu and Qin Wentian entered.
The two guards coldly laughed. They knew that since they were here to challenge the third-ranked devil general, the instant these two stepped out of the devil hall, it was already destined that they would never come out again. They would never come out again.
"The last-ranked devil general Qin Wentian and his protectors are here to challenge the third-ranked devil general." When Qin Wentian and Juyu stepped into the devil hall, a loud voice rang out behind them. The experts in the devil hall all heard it.
In the devil hall where the third-ranked devil general was at, numerous figures flew over. They stood in different locations in the air, staring at Qin Wentian and Juyu.
However, they weren't in a hurry to act. They only quietly watched as the two of them advanced forward. On the stairway up ahead, a figure slowly stepped out. He walked to the top of the stairway and stared down at Qin Wentian and Juyu. This person was none other than the third-ranked devil general, Zong Yan.
"Are you guys in such a hurry to die?" Zong Yan's eyes of darkness were like bottomless abysses. He was truly impressed by the courage of Qin Wentian and Juyu. The two of them actually dared to step into his devil hall.
"Whether I want to die or not, you will know after you try." Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at Zong Yan.
"If you want to challenge me directly, that would depend on whether you are qualified or not." Zong Yan turned his gaze towards a certain direction. "You guys were once Juyu's subordinates. Now, the opportunity to gain merit has arrived."
These experts were none other than Juyu's protectors and subordinates. Their expressions changed when they heard Zong Yan's voice. Betraying Juyu was merely for the sake of a brighter future. However, they weren't Zong Yan's subordinates and naturally needed a chance to gain merit. But if they fought against Juyu, this ex-devil general, they didn't have much confidence.
Now, they had no other choice.
Their silhouettes flashed as they moved towards Juyu.
"Just in time to clean up the traitors. Leave these people to me." Juyu spoke.
"Okay, you don't have to bother with the others." Qin Wentian spoke. After that, Juyu moved towards her former subordinates.
As for Qin Wentian, he stepped out into the air, directly moving towards the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan.
"BOOM!" Waves of devil might erupted forth. The experts on the left and right of him all rushed towards Qin Wentian. They brandished their spears and stabbed out at the same time. With just a single strike, a terrifying devil dragon manifested.
Qin Wentian's immortal-foundation shone with light. In an instant, the entire space was filled with law energy, radiating outwards with him as the center.
"Didn't your devil generals tell you that before absolute power, no matter how many people you have, it's the same as courting death?" A cold voice rang out from Qin Wentian's mouth. He pointed his finger at the void but as his finger landed, numerous terrifying golden-winged rocs suddenly appeared, tearing everything apart.
"Puchi, puchi …"
In the air, blood rained down from the sky as screams of misery rang out. In an instant, over ten experts were killed.
"A body of laws. As expected, you can also control immortal-king might." The third-ranked devil general stared at Qin Wentian, but there were no emotions in his eyes at all. It was like the deaths of his subordinates couldn't affect his state of heart at all.
Even more experts rushed towards Qin Wentian. Staring at the coldness in Zong Yan's eyes, Qin Wentian sighed silently.
"BOOM!" An even stronger pressure gushed forth. His body abruptly expanded to over ten meters in size.
"Since all of you want to die, I will grant you your wish." Qin Wentian roared, blasting out with both his palms. Instantly, two terrifying primordial chaos runes appeared, their roars shaking the mountains and rivers. Everywhere they passed by, blood flowed like a river. In an instant, experts in two directions were all killed. This was a shocking sight to behold.
"Those who obstruct me, die!"
Qin Wentian roared. He continued walking forward, stabbing out with his finger as the ancient characters transformed into sharp swords, killing everything in their path.
He continued forward step by step, moving towards the location where the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan was standing. Since these people wanted to obstruct him, even if he had to bathe the entire devil palace in blood, he still had to kill Zong Yan.
Qin Wentian was like a god of death, unstoppable. When the strongest subordinates of Zong Yan arrived before him, Qin Wentian coldly spoke, "After this battle, all of you will be my subordinates. I don't wish for this devil sect to be completely wiped out. Just scram now."
As he spoke, he stomped on the air, advancing forward. The heavens and earth rumbled as nine-colored greater demons revolved around him, exuding a might that shook the heavens and earth. The experts before him all felt their hearts trembling.
"Third-ranked devil general Zong Yan, die!"
Qin Wentian blasted out. As the sound of his voice faded, a world-devouring vortex manifested, gushing towards Zong Yan.
At this instant, the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan turned ashen. He felt an irresistible force boring down on him.
Not long ago, Zong Yan still thought that Qin Wentian was here to die. But when this force bore down on him, he actually felt a pressure that came from the depths of his soul.
With a roar of rage, Zong Yan erupted forth with his strongest state. However, that world-destroying might bore down on him, wanting to devour everything. Numerous figures turned their heads and after that, they only saw the powerful third-ranked devil general Zong Yan being directly devoured by that terrifying attack. All defenses were useless.
"RUMBLE ~" The stairway crumbled as the ground crumbled. The destructive might destroyed everything, causing dust to fly about. The battle in the devil palace came to an abrupt halt.
When everything became clear again, the third-ranked devil general had long disappeared.
