"Elder Jiang, it's not what you think."
Although Zhang Heng had been slapped by the old man, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
He hurriedly explained, "We had already found Zhao Rui's brother, Zhao Hang, but who would have thought that we would meet three people who were undergoing their Great Tribulation of Human Immortal? Moreover, there were a few people who were helping them …"
"Don't talk nonsense with me!"
Before Zhang Heng could finish his words, Elder Jiang waved his hand and interrupted him. He said coldly, "You didn't complete your mission. You can be spared from death, but you can't escape punishment. From now on, you will be stripped of your status as a deacon on the first floor of the Fiend Restaurant. You will be demoted to an ordinary disciple!"
Rumble!
When Elder Jiang's words entered Zhang Heng's ears, it was as if he had been struck by lightning, causing him to be stunned on the spot with a face full of disappointment.
The highest position in the Fiend Restaurant was naturally the core Divine Princes. The second highest position was an elder like Elder Jiang.
The third highest position was a deacon like Zhang Heng.
The lowest position was an ordinary disciple.
Although the difference between an ordinary disciple and a deacon was only one level, the treatment they received was like heaven and earth.
An ordinary disciple was the vanguard. All the dirty and tiring work was left to them.
As for deacons, they could enjoy certain benefits, such as cultivation resources, and so on.
Being demoted from a deacon to an ordinary disciple was like a phoenix turning into a pheasant, falling from the clouds to the mortal world.
"Get lost."
Elder Jiang fiercely glared at Zhang Heng and said, "Go to the gate tower and stand guard. If there's any movement, inform me immediately."
"Yes."
Zhang Heng did not dare to delay. He hurriedly ran toward the gate tower.
Buzz!
However, after Zhang Heng disappeared, the void beside Elder Jiang suddenly trembled. Then, a young martial artist appeared.
"How are the preparations for the gathering in three days?"
The young martial artist did not beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Don't worry, Divine Son Lin. Everything has been prepared. I guarantee that they won't be able to return!"
Elder Jiang said hurriedly.
The young martial artist called Divine Son Lin nodded and said, "The sect has given the order. We must get Zhao Rui."
Buzz!
Buzz! As soon as he finished speaking, Divine Son Lin's figure gradually merged with the void and disappeared.
At the same time.
At the main entrance of the City of Fiends.
Swish!
A group of four to five martial artists appeared.
These four or five martial artists were none other than Ning Yue and the Dark Emperor who had rushed over.
In order to prevent others from recognizing Zhao Hang, Ning Yue chose to have Zhao Hang hide in his storage ring for the time being.
The only people left outside were him, the Dark Emperor, Ning Lu, the Human Demon, and Xiao Xuan.
As for the Red Devil, Ning Yue did not choose to disturb him. Instead, he allowed him to stay in the Red Devil Sword and slowly recuperate.
After all, the Red Demon Sword had swallowed a terrifying tribulation cloud and a great deal of precious tribulation fluid.
From Ning Yue's point of view, the Red Demon Sword would not be able to completely digest that terrifying tribulation cloud and a lot of tribulation liquid. The excess would definitely be given to the Red Demon Sword.
In other words, when Hong Mo emerged from the Red Demon Sword, his cultivation would at least be at the Great Perfection of the Human Immortal Realm.
"Xiao Xuan, how much do you know about the City of Devils?"
Ning Yue turned around and looked at Xiao Xuan.
The City of Devils was very close to the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge. Experts that descended from a high plane like Xiao Xuan would mostly gather in the City of Devils.
Therefore, Xiao Xuan should know more about the City of Devils.
"There are many experts in the City of Devils."
Looking at the magnificent city tower before him, Xiao Xuan took a deep breath and said, "We shouldn't show our true faces on this trip. We should first hide and figure out the situation before taking action."
"There's no need. Even if we want to hide now, it's too late."
Ning Yue shook his head and stared ahead as he spoke indifferently.
"Come out."
Whoosh!
As soon as Ning Yue finished speaking, a martial artist appeared from the void.
Looking closely, this martial artist was none other than Zhang Heng, who had escaped from Ning Yue.
"There's a path to heaven, but you refuse to take it. There's no door to hell, but you barge in!"
Zhang Heng hovered in the air with a gloomy expression. "If you're sensible, surrender as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'll let you know what cruelty is!"
"Hahaha, let us know what cruelty is?"
As if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, Ning Yue threw his head back and laughed maniacally. Then, he stomped his feet on the ground and charged out.
Whoosh!
Ning Yue's speed was very fast. He arrived in front of Zhang Heng in the blink of an eye. He clenched his right hand into a fist and threw a punch.
Crack!
Ning Yue's punch caused the void to explode. The terrifying pressure of the void and his right fist punched towards Zhang Heng's head.
"Elder Jiang, save me!"
Zhang Heng shouted in the face of Ning Yue's fist.
The reason why Zhang Heng dared to face Ning Yue's attack without dodging was not because his strength had increased, but because he had already informed Elder Jiang.
His strength was only a low-grade Half-Step Heaven Immortal, while Elder Jiang's strength had reached the mid-grade Half-Step Heaven Immortal level.
Zhang Heng admitted that Ning Yue was very strong, but in his opinion, no matter how strong Ning Yue was, it was impossible for him to be a mid-grade Half-Step Heaven Immortal.
"Brat, hand over your life!"
Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Heng's voice faded, an old man appeared in front of him.
The old man clenched his right hand into a fist and met Ning Yue's fist head-on.
Crack!
In the blink of an eye, the two fists collided with each other.
A crisp cracking sound rang out, followed by a figure retreating rapidly.
Pfft!
The figure only stopped after retreating more than ten meters.
Blood spurted out of his mouth, and his aura instantly dropped to the freezing point.
"Elder Jiang!"
The sudden change caused Zhang Heng's expression to change dramatically. He couldn't help but cry out.
Zhang Heng would never have thought that Jiang Zhang, a mid-grade Half-Step Heaven Immortal, could not even withstand a single strike from Ning Yue.
"Who ordered you to capture Zhao Hang?"
Ning Yue's figure flickered rapidly and arrived beside Zhang Heng in the blink of an eye. He grabbed Zhang Heng's neck and said coldly, "Bring me there, or die!"
"Alright, alright, I'll bring you there. It was the people from the Fiend Restaurant who ordered me to capture Zhao Hang. Don't kill me."
Zhang Heng quickly nodded, afraid that Ning Yue would snap his neck if he was any slower.
"What about him?"
Before Ning Yue set off, the Dark Emperor pointed at Elder Jiang who had fallen to the ground and asked.
"Capture him and put him in my Spatial Ring for you to devour."
Ning Yue said casually before grabbing Zhang Heng and rushing toward the Fiend Restaurant.
The Dark Emperor and Ning Lu who had reached the Perfection Stage of the Human Immortal Realm had completely awakened the power of their bloodline. It was like a fish entering the ocean and a dragon soaring through the nine heavens.
Their devouring ability was already terrifying to begin with, and now their devouring ability had reached its peak.
Moreover, Ning Yue also knew that although the two of them had reached the Perfection Stage of the Human Immortal Realm, their strength had yet to reach its peak.
