Shui Yunlan's gaze shifted to the Demonic Emperor with great difficulty, before slowly closing his eyes. Following that, the Star Slashing Sword turned into a golden ray of light and shot into the Demonic Emperor's forehead. Shui Yunlan's body immediately fell to the ground, no longer showing any signs of life. The Southern Emperor's Jade also stopped flickering at that moment.
"Sect Leader … Lan 'er, Lan' er!!" Shui Xuanfeng staggered a few times and fell onto Shui Yunlan's body. He cried out in a mournful voice.
"Why did you kill him?" Shui Yuntian turned around and asked with a stiff face.
"He was truly remorseful. Everything will end if he dies. I don't want to see you, who didn't break down after 23 years of torture, be disturbed by your twisted hatred while torturing someone. I took his life on your behalf, I hope you don't mind. "The Demonic Emperor said slowly. His calm voice contained traces of soul power.
Shui Yuntian's heart felt as if it had been pierced by a needle. It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, and he immediately recovered from the chaos. He pressed his hand on his chest and regulated his breathing. He then glanced at the already dead Shui Yunlan and immediately looked away. He sighed and said, "I was too stubborn. Thank you, Master. Once he's dead, everything will be over … it will really be over. "
Shui Xuanfeng was crying himself hoarse, but everyone could still clearly hear Shui Yuntian calling the Demonic Emperor "Master", and their hearts trembled.
"Shui Zi Zizai, I don't want to do it myself anymore. The three of you, end it yourselves." Shui Yuntian's gaze passed through the crowd and landed on the three Shui Zi Zizai and the other two. The three of them were also one of the people who had harmed his family back then. Although it had been more than 20 years, their names and appearances were still firmly engraved in his heart.
The people gathered here were all leaders who were usually scattered across the Tianchen Continent. They rarely interacted with each other. Although they were all from Nanhuangzong, their relationship was very shallow. At this moment, no one came forward to plead for them. They had contacted the Northern Emperor Sect to obtain the "Water Flame Unfettered Powder" to poison the Sect Leader's family back then. Such a huge crime had already been uncovered, who would plead for them?
Those cold and indifferent gazes caused Shui Zi's body to feel cold, as if he had fallen into an abyss. Just by standing there, every minute and second was an unbearable torment.
Finally, his whole body trembled. Following that, blood slowly seeped out of his seven apertures, and his body fell heavily to the ground. The two people behind him took a step back at the same time. Finally, they let out a long sigh and blew themselves up with the Water Jade Technique. With just a few words from Shui Yuntian, they had committed suicide without any struggle. This undoubtedly meant that although Shui Yuntian had just returned, he still had a huge influence in Nanhuangzong. There were two important reasons. One was that Elder Xuan Huang was on his side, and the other was the Demonic Emperor.
"Young master, the traitor Shui Yunlan is already dead. From now on, you will be the Sect Master of my Nanhuangzong. Our sect is currently in a period of great calamity. I hope that Sect Master can take up the great responsibility and lead our sect out of this predicament. Our entire sect will pledge our loyalty to Sect Master to the death. We will no longer be disloyal to comfort our late master's soul in heaven … Sect Master! "
Shui ManLou and Shui ManCheng knelt down together with Shui ManCheng, and their kowtowing caused a chain reaction. Everyone in Nanhuangzong knelt down one after another, greeting Shui Yuntian as' Sect Master '. He was supposed to be the Sect Leader of the Nanhuang Sect, but a calamity had delayed his rightful position by more than twenty years.
"All of you, rise." Shui Yuntian raised his hand, "We are all brothers of the same family, and there is no need to kowtow. While Nanhuangzong has suffered a huge setback, this calamity is still within reason. Sooner or later, it will come sooner or later. Do all of you understand why our sect is facing such a calamity? "
"This …" They were completely baffled as to why their sect was facing such a calamity. Could it be that there was a reason that they did not know?
"According to the teachings of our ancestors, the mission of our sect is to search for the Sword Of Emperor Nan and its master. If we are able to find it, we must pledge our loyalty to the sect, never to betray it. This was written on the front page of Nanhuangzong's ancestral records. Who still remembers it now? "Shui Yuntian's gaze swept across the crowd, and his voice turned cold.
Silence, only silence. These words had long been tossed to the back of their minds, and they even treated it as a joke. In the past few decades, their Nanhuangzong had never placed their attention on searching for the Sword Of Emperor Nan. Instead, they had spread their influence to every corner of the Heavenly Chen Continent, preparing to take control of the entire continent.
"Sect Master, we …"
"That's right, all of you have forgotten that what all of you have been doing all these years is forbidden by the ancestral records! Do all of you know the last page of the ancestral records, 'Those who obey will be protected by the heavens, and those who disobey will be punished by the heavens'? "
Punished by the heavens … these four words were like four heavy hammers hammering down on their hearts. The appearance of the Sword Of Emperor Nan and the Northern Emperor's Bow proved that the legends were not fake, and the ancestral records were not fake as well … Wasn't that the calamity that descended from the heavens, destroying the entire core of Nanhuangzong?!
Shui Yuntian's tongue had clearly been cut off, and he had been sealed underground for so many years. But now, he was unscathed and appeared here with astonishing strength. Wasn't this the blessing of the heavens?
In that instant, everyone broke out in cold sweat. Ordinary people might not believe in the punishment of the heavens, but they had no choice but to believe in it. That was because the blood of the gods flowed within their bodies.
"Sect Master, we understand what we should do." Shui ManLou raised his head and nodded his head solemnly. Turning around, he asked the Demonic Emperor, "Demonic Emperor, the sword you used just now, was it the Sword Of Emperor Nan?"
Their gazes were all focused on the Demonic Emperor, and they held their breaths. The Demonic Emperor replied, "Yes or no, don't you already know the answer?"
The way Shui Yuntian addressed him, the resonance between the Southern Emperor's jade and the sword, the word 'Nan' on the sword, and the way it was retrieved by Ye Wuchen, all of these proved that it was the legendary Sword Of Emperor Nan. Combining all of these, it was an iron-clad proof.
"That's right, that is the Sword Of Emperor Nan. The Demonic Emperor is the owner of the Sword Of Emperor Nan, the Holy Lord of our Nanhuangzong. The reason why I am able to stand here in one piece is because the Holy Lord saved me. If not for the Sword Of Emperor Nan, how would I have been able to escape from the Devil Sealing Chains? "Shui Yuntian said solemnly. "The Sword Of Emperor Nan has appeared, and the Holy Lord has also appeared. Only the Holy Lord can save us from our current predicament. This is our fate. Since you are willing to call me Sect Master, are you willing to be loyal to the Holy Lord forever? "
Silence. Still silence.
The Demonic Emperor floated down from the sky and landed in front of the crowd. He swept his gaze across the crowd and said calmly, "I will not let you call me Holy Lord now. You should not be willing to suddenly have a Master who can control your freedom, life, and everything. But, soon, there will be a time when you will voluntarily call me Master. "
After the Demonic Emperor finished speaking, he suddenly shot up into the sky without any warning. Without a sound, he disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
Everything that had happened today was as surreal as a dream. It was supposed to be an emergency gathering for Nanhuangzong, but a series of shocking truths and facts had presented themselves before their eyes. The Demonic Emperor was rumored to be the strongest and most terrifying person in the mainland. If he really was the Holy Lord of Nanhuangzong … With his strength and the Evil Sect under his command, if Nanhuangzong was under his leadership, even if it was in a severely damaged state, there was really nothing to be afraid of.
Perhaps, he really was the person who came to save Nanhuangzong.
But, they could not ignore it. According to the rumors in the sect, the Northern Emperor Sect was looking for the Northern Emperor's Bow, wasn't it also in the hands of the Demonic Emperor?!

Time, late at night; Location: Central part of Tenryū Province, the Ximen Family, one of the four great Demon and Martial Families of Sky Dragon City.
A black shadow quietly approached the Ximen Family under the cover of the night. Ever since the Ximen Family announced the auction, they encountered thieves from all over the world every day. But the Ximen Family was clearly prepared, and there were many experts at all times. Among these experts, there were not only people from the Ximen Family, but also Dongfang and Nangong. The face of the North Sea. Obviously, they were all here to assist the Ximen Family.
Tomorrow was the day of the auction. The nearest town to the Ximen Family was already filled with tourists from all over the mainland. Their purpose was self-evident. Although not many of them wanted to get their hands on the legendary treasure map, they were all eager to see who it belonged to. It was rumored that it was a treasure that was as rich as a country. Rich as a country, the weight of these four words was too heavy. They were also deeply puzzled. If the Ximen Family really had the iron sword in their hands, why didn't they privately search for the treasure, but auction it?
But tonight, this thief dressed in black was obviously different from the past. His skills were extraordinarily high, and he moved silently in the darkness like a ghost. Until he climbed over the high wall outside the Ximen Family, the experts scattered around still did not notice him.
The Ximen Family was very big, comparable to the size of a village, and its structure was even more complicated. Since the announcement of the auction, the number of guards in the Light Guard and Dark Guard was even more outrageous, almost every three steps, there was a guard. Behind the complex distribution of buildings and tight defense, the black shadow did not make any sound, nor did he stop, and moved straight to the northwest direction. Wherever he went, there was not a speck of dust, as if he had entered an uninhabited land. His actions were actually very familiar with the internal structure of the Ximen Family.
The darkness of the night became his best disguise. But if a real expert was here, he would certainly know that even if it was daytime, with the amazing ability displayed by this person, the guards of the Ximen Family would not be able to find him.
This was the underground passage of the Ximen Family, which was not known to outsiders. The passage was very long, and usually it was pitch-black, with only a few guards left at the entrance of the passage. But at this time, it was bright, and there were two bright magic lamps every three steps. At the same time, under each lamp, there was a guard holding a different weapon, and judging from the aura, these people were not ordinary people.
The underground passage was very long, and there was only one entrance. In this long and narrow passage, and with such tight security, even a mosquito would find it extremely difficult to fly in undetected, let alone a person.
However, this person had turned the impossible into a possibility.
It was unknown when he had appeared at the entrance of this long passageway, but after an extremely short pause, his body suddenly disappeared … It was not that he disappeared, but that his speed was too fast, and there was an extremely strange and special power hiding his existence. With this shocking speed and strange and unpredictable miracle, he stuck close to the top of the passageway, passed over the heads of the guards, and rushed straight inside.
