"Mm?"
Bie Donglai was also shocked to be grabbed by this invisible hand that had appeared out of the blue and grabbed him without any warning.
But very quickly, his eyes flashed with a blue radiance, and his entire body erupted with astonishing power to resist the invisible giant hand.
However, as he resisted, the palm suddenly increased in strength.
Streams of black Qi condensed, causing the invisible hand to take form. The black hand still tightly gripped Bie Donglai, temporarily immobilizing him.
Bie Donglai barely managed to resist the pressure of the black hand as he yelled, "Chen Luoyang, are you alright?"
The figures of the others silently appeared off to the side.
The major figures silently watched the hand formed from the black fog that had grabbed Bie Donglai, but they did not approach the central palace lest they be caught in the calamity.
Swordmaster Zhupao's gaze turned towards Island Lord Azure Dragon.
The black ball that had previously helped Chen Luoyang block the Sky River Sword Immortal's sword had a similar concept of power as this hand, but there were also differences.
The old woman Island Master Azure Dragon lightly nodded at Zhu Que.
The astonishing fiendish aura contained within the black fog was the work of that legendary Sovereign. It came from the same source as the black ball that had helped Chen Luoyang block the Sky River Sword Immortal's attack.
Chen Luoyang entered the dark palace. After a while, the crowd couldn't help but grow suspicious.
The dark palace was silent. What if it was the Empty City Stratagem?
Chen Luoyang might have found another way out and stealthily slipped away.
But despite their suspicions, no one dared to rashly approach.
The Sovereign's words rang out in everyone's minds. Such a method was truly not something that a mere Emperor Wu like Chen Luoyang could impersonate.
But as time slowly passed and Chen Luoyang still did not return, the suspicions in the hearts of a portion of the people only grew.
And it was at this moment that someone took the first step that everyone hesitated about.
It was Bie Donglai.
But his line of thought was different from the suspicions of the others.
He suspected that Chen Luoyang's master was not that legendary Sovereign.
But he was worried that Chen Luoyang's master was rebuking him.
Thus, he impatiently ran in.
With such a scout leading the way, even if the others had some misgivings, they still followed him into the palace.
In the end, everyone witnessed the scene of a dignified Red Dust Giant being held in the palm of someone else's hand.
Some people felt lucky in their hearts.
Some people still felt uneasy, worried that if they had followed in, even with Bie Donglai at the very front, they might still be abandoned and investigated.
However, upon closer inspection, he realized that although Bie Donglai had been suppressed and captured, the enormous black hand didn't seem to be shrinking any further.
It seemed like he had no intention of taking Bie Donglai's life.
In this way, there shouldn't be a need to pursue the matter, right?
When they saw the hand that had grabbed Bie Donglai, they no longer had any doubts.
This place was really the abode of a Supreme Being!
However, where was Chen Luoyang?
Just as some people were wondering, Chen Luoyang walked out of the central hall.
Everyone had different expressions when they saw him.
On the other hand, Bie Donglai, who was in a precarious situation, let out a sigh of relief. "You're fine? Then why haven't you done anything for so long? "
Chen Luoyang glanced at him and said nothing, then turned to Sword Master Darknorth, Zhu Ping. "Qingqing's life is currently not in danger, but she might need to stay with my master for a few more days."
Hearing this, Zhu Ping sighed in relief. He first bowed towards the central hall. "Thank you for your magnanimity, Supreme Being."
Then he nodded at Chen Luoyang. "And thank you for pleading for Lady Qingqing."
"No need to thank me. Qingqing is also my friend." Chen Luoyang shook his head.
Bie Donglai had a confused expression.
The others understood that Chen Luoyang hadn't done anything for so long because he was pleading for the sake of the white-clothed girl who had helped him.
From this point of view, it made sense.
"Might we be able to meet Supreme Being?" a black-clothed man asked.
Chen Luoyang looked at him.
It was a tall, middle-aged man. He was handsome, but his eyes were cold.
Through his voice, Chen Luoyang could tell who he was.
Patriarch Blood River!
The current leader of the Blood River Lineage, "Blood Staining the Heavens," Xue Cangqiong, one of the most famous super demons in the mortal world.
He looked like a middle-aged man, but in fact, he was the Red Dust Sword Demon who had been fighting with the Sky River Sword Immortal for thousands of years.
The Blood River Lineage had continued to grow in his hands, and had been fighting with the Sky River Lineage until now, with both sides winning and losing.
Among the demonic cultivators in the Red Dust World, he was one of the oldest. Besides Heavenly Demon Ye, who suppressed him, this Patriarch Blood River had the air of a leader of the demonic path.
At this moment, beside Patriarch Blood River, an old man stood side by side with him.
This old man was dressed in white. He had a calm expression, and his hair and beard were all white. Although he looked old, he didn't seem to be in his twilight years. Silent standing there made the evil aura and killing intent of Patriarch Blood River fade.
There was no need for an introduction. Chen Luoyang could roughly guess who the other party was.
The Sky River Sword Immortal, the leader of the righteous path in the mortal world.
This time, he had finally met him face to face.
He didn't have the air of a sage, nor was he as sharp as a sword. Instead, he had the air of an old man next door, just that his body looked extremely tough.
But as long as he stood there, he didn't need to move at all. His presence was so strong that it was impossible to ignore him.
A pair of old enemies stood side by side. They seemed to be at odds with each other, but also extremely harmonious.
"My master has summoned you all here, and he wishes to meet you," Chen Luoyang said to Patriarch Blood River. "I was the one who asked for mercy on Qingqing's behalf and delayed some time."
Saying so, he moved aside and made an inviting gesture. "Everyone, please come in."
"Hey!" Bie Donglai called out. His body moved, but he was still held in place by the hand of darkness.
The others glanced at him, and then prepared to walk into the central hall.
But the moment the hall doors opened, everyone's hearts tightened.
Within the hall, there was a dangerous aura that made them extremely wary.
It was as if there was some intense danger inside.
Even Bie Donglai forgot to protest or struggle as he looked into the hall with the others in shock and uncertainty.
In the center of the hall, there was an enormous three-legged cauldron.
The enormous cauldron was trembling and swaying, as if there was some sort of terrifying existence inside.
Everyone looked at each other and frowned.
Their cultivation, strength, and knowledge far surpassed that of ordinary people.
Silence sensed the enormous cauldron and quickly determined that there wasn't some sort of living being inside. Rather, it seemed to be refining pills or forging artifacts.
However, what kind of item would he refine with such a cultivation method?
Past the enormous cauldron, they could see a figure sitting high on the throne, like a god.
Although this figure was shrouded in black mist, making it impossible to see his exact appearance, the terrifying aura and concept made his identity clear.
After a moment of silence, the Heavenly River Sword Immortal bowed to the figure high up in the hall.
"Heavenly River Cloud greets the Sovereign."
Hierarch Jiang Yi of the Red Dust Ancient God Main Church also followed suit.
"Ancient God Jiang Yi greets the Sovereign."
The old woman Azure Dragon Island Master spoke almost at the same time as Jiang Yi.
"Azure Dragon Island Bao Lvqi greets the Sovereign."
Hearing this, the others spoke one after the other.
"Surging Waves Mountain's Bamboo Puppet greets the Sovereign."
"Southern Chu's Cheng Hui greets the Sovereign."
"Little Western Sky's Pu Hui greets the Sovereign."
"Fusang Island's Shen Tianhai greets the Sovereign."
Next to the Heavenly River Sword Immortal, Patriarch Blood River, expressionlessly bowed to the figure on the throne.
"Blood River's Xue Firmament greets the Sovereign."
Still suppressed by the enormous hand, Bie Donglai was astonished. "It really is the Sovereign? But that fragment of the Mystic Heaven Bell is real. "
"Why do you still wonder about the Mystic Heaven Bell after seeing this?" Chen Luoyang, who was standing to the side, said coolly.
Hearing this, Bie Donglai instinctively looked at the enormous cauldron.
Hearing this, the others' eyes flashed as they also looked at the enormous cauldron.
Was Zhi Zun here to refine a brand new supreme treasure?
So she didn't need the Mystic Heaven Bell anymore?
Or had the Sovereign broken the Mystic Heaven Bell of his own accord to refine this treasure?
Or was the Sovereign refining this treasure because the Mystic Heaven Bell was broken?
But no matter what, the aura of this new treasure seemed to be even stronger than the Mystic Heaven Bell from back then …
Everyone had different understandings of the Sovereign and the Mystic Heaven Bell, so their thoughts were naturally different.
However, their focus was clearly on the treasure in front of them.
No one doubted the Demon Sovereign's death anymore.
The ruler of red dust was sitting there, looking down at them from above. He was even holding Bie Donglai, who was just as powerful as they were, in his hands!
Now, everyone began to mutter in their hearts. Why did Zhi Zun look for them?
Could it be that he wanted to kill them and refine this supreme treasure in front of him?
At this moment, Chen Luoyang was looking at Jiang Yi, Bamboo Puppet, the Heavenly River Sword Immortal, and the others from two different angles.
He inwardly let out a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he felt like he was about to collapse from suppressing Bie Donglai.
That fiendish aura just now was a remnant of the Demon Sovereign's remains.
He had to use up this fiendish aura to suppress Bie Donglai for a while.
Once the fiendish aura was used up, Bie Donglai would naturally regain his freedom.
But before that, he had to lay out everything that needed to be laid out.
Thankfully, the first person to barge in was Bie Donglai.
If it had been someone else, it would have been even more troublesome later on.
Chen Luoyang himself stood at the side of the palace door with his hands clasped behind his back, his eyes focused on his nose and his nose focused on his heart.
The figure on top of the throne spoke, a voice that seemed to echo in everyone's hearts.
"Dispense with the formalities."
Bamboo Puppet and Azure Dragon Island Master Bao Lvqi could tell that this was the deep and dignified voice they had heard in the dark Void.
Chen Luoyang also let out a sigh of relief.
As a matter of fact, it was difficult for him to even move his pinky finger, let alone move his lips.
Fortunately, the others couldn't see through the faint black mist that enveloped the Demon Sovereign's body, but his consciousness was still within it, so he could still speak like ventriloquism.
Everyone relaxed a little, but they were still on guard.
They didn't raise their heads to look at the figure on top of the throne. Everyone's gazes moved forward and naturally fell on the three-legged cauldron, feeling uneasy.
