"My physical body! You destroyed my physical body! Ah!"
Zhulin, in Soul Body form, roared furiously, panic reaching its peak.
"Didnât you want to see my power? Iâve shown it to you now, how can you blame me? Thatâs your fault." Dantong said innocently.
"Wouldnât you agree?" Dantong looked at the people of Dragon God Palace.
Everyone in Dragon God Palace nodded in unison.
"Itâs just a physical body, canât you make another one yourself?" Dantong shrugged and sneered.
"Oh, thatâs right, youâre the living dead, able to resurrect because your evil thoughts were awakened. Your soul is an aggregation of these evil thoughts, and your body is formed by the Demon Clanâs Evil Qi. Once your body is destroyed, thatâs the end of it." Dantong continued to sneer.
What Dantong said was absolutely correct.
Zhulin is the living dead.
Their resurrection is not a true resurrection, but through powerful ancient secret techniques, awakening the deceasedâs evil thoughts, using the body formed by the Demon Clanâs Evil Qi. Once the body is destroyed, unless the Demon Clanâs Evil Qi can form a new body, theyâll remain in Soul Body form for the rest of their lives.
"How do you know the Demon Clanâs secret techniques?" A Transcendent Saint-level expert asked in shock.
Zhulin was thoroughly despairing; in Soul Body form, it couldnât harness the power of a Transcendent Saint-level expert, and the soul formed by evil thoughts likely wouldnât last long.
After all, itâs not a true Soul Body.
"You three, did you get permission from Dragon God Palace?" Ignoring the despairing Zhulin, Dantong glanced at the three Transcendent Saints.
With just one glance, the three trembled in fear and retreated in panic.
"Iâm asking you, if youâre not deaf or mute, answer me." Dantong reprimanded coldly, his expression turning icy.
"No!" The three Transcendent Saints responded in unison.
"Since you didnât have Dragon God Palaceâs permission, why did you barge in?" Dantong asked coldly.
Wasnât this question asked just now?
The three Transcendent Saints trembled, terrified by Zhulinâs fate.
"Well..." The three Transcendent Saints didnât know how to respond.
"Do you know what crime it is to forcefully enter Dragon God Palace? Itâs punishable by death." Dantong said coldly.
"We know we were wrong." The three Transcendent Saints hurriedly bowed and apologized.
"Since you were wrong, slap yourselves! Or you can try my power; choose wisely and answer me." Dantong said coldly, with an overwhelming force that couldnât be resisted.
"Slap, slap, slap!"
The three Transcendent Saints didnât dare refuse, immediately starting to slap themselves. The clear sound of the slaps was music to the ears of everyone in Dragon God Palace.
But how long they had to keep slapping was unknown.
"Go slap yourselves at the entrance of Dragon God Palace." Dantong said coldly, and the three Transcendent Saints immediately complied, not daring to resist.
For Transcendent Saint-level experts of the Demon Clan to kneel at the entrance of Dragon God Palace and slap themselves: how tremendous!
"Has Brother Feng not emerged yet?" Dantong asked Feng Zhengxiong and the others.
Feng Zhengxiong shook his head: "Chen Er has been in seclusion for over half a month, hasnât come out yet."
"Until Brother Feng emerges, none of you are allowed to leave; the slapping canât stop either. Anyone who dares to escape or stop, Iâll make them feel my power." Dantong swept his icy gaze over the Demon Clan experts.
After Dantong said this, they wouldnât dare even with a thousand daring hearts, unless Holy Realm experts arrived.
...
Great Main God Temple.
The ones going to various forces, including Zhukong, had returned to the Great Main God Temple, except Zhulinâs group was missing.
"Why hasnât Zhulinâs group returned?" Zhukong asked confusedly within the hall.
"Where did Senior Zhulin go?" Zhu Sha asked.
"Dragon God Palace." Zhukong smiled slightly, nonchalant.
"Dragon God Palace? Somethingâs wrong!" Zhu Shaâs face changed drastically.
Noticing Zhu Shaâs expression, Zhumie frowned slightly: "It looks like something happened. Itâs highly likely Zhulinâs group acted too fiercely and drew out Dantong. If thatâs true, the consequences are unimaginable."
"Dantong?" Zhukong frowned slightly, asking: "Is Dantong really that strong?"
Zhu Sha was anxious, quickly ordered: "Xu Mie, go to Dragon God Palace immediately and check."
"Yes, sir!" Xu Mie respectfully accepted the order and immediately disappeared.
When Xu Mie arrived at Dragon God Palace and saw the scene at the entrance, he was utterly dumbfounded.
Xu Mie couldnât believe the scene in front of his eyes.
The scene was too stimulating! Too eye-irritating!
"What... What is going on here?" Xu Mie was stunned like a wooden chicken, his eyes nearly falling out.
Xu Mieâs first thought was Dantong; only Dantong could force them into such an eye-irritating scene.
Xu Mie didnât dare to stay, immediately flashed back to the Great Main God Temple.
"Reporting to the master, Senior Zhulin and the others..." Xu Mie immediately described the scene he saw, his back drenched in cold sweat.
Zhukong and the othersâ anger exploded, their terrifying killing intent and pressure bursting forth.
"How dare they insult our Demon Clan!" Zhukongâs face twisted, roaring like a furious beast.
"Dantong must die!"
"Thatâs right! Dantong must die!"
"Zhu Sha, immediately order to destroy Dragon God Palace!"
Ruthless and terrifying killing intent spread throughout the hall, chilling to the soul, suffocating.
Zhu Shaâs face turned extremely dark, then said: "Seniors, calm down. Dantongâs power is beyond our ability to resist, even if our Demon Clan experts mobilize fully, we canât deal with Dantong. We must wait for a Holy Realm expert to arrive; otherwise, weâd be going to our deaths."
Zhu Sha was truly afraid of Dantong, and without absolute certainty, he would never act rashly.
Zhumie said gravely: "Zhulin and the four Transcendent Saints are strong, yet they are forced to kneel and slap themselves at Dragon God Palace, proving Dantongâs power."
"Are we just going to watch Zhulinâs group be humiliated?" Zhukongâs face grew darker, silently vowing to ensure Dantong pays a painful price.
"I didnât expect Senior Zhulinâs group to go to Dragon God Palace." Zhu Sha shook his head helplessly, having already warned them about Dantongâs immense strength.
Zhulinâs group chose not to listen, provoking Dantong; their humiliation was their own fault.
Of course, Zhu Sha didnât want to see the Demon Clan seniors humiliated, but he had no choice; if they couldnât defeat Dantong, theyâd have to endure.
"Zhu Sha, when will the Holy Realm experts arrive?" Zhumie asked.
"My master will arrange it; I donât know when," Zhu Sha shook his head, genuinely unsure when the Holy Realm experts would arrive.
"What about Zhulinâs group?" Zhumie asked again.
"Go to Dragon God Palace and demand them back." Zhu Sha didnât hesitate at all.
