Inside the Hall of Manifesting Laws within the Myriad Laws Imperial Palace of the Myriad Laws Sect.
As Ding Yun had anticipated, after escaping, the Nine Nether Demon Lord immediately rushed to the Myriad Laws Imperial Palace to beg for help.
However, he did not get to see the Myriad Laws Demon Emperor.
Ultimately, it was the Myriad Laws Demon Emperor’s eldest disciple, Blood River Demon Emperor, who had successfully broken through to the Demon Emperor realm over three thousand years ago, who received him. After listening to his tearful account, he immediately flew into a rage, calling the Nine Nether Demon Lord a good-for-nothing.
To be bullied to such an extent, and to show up in such a pathetic state.
"Senior Brother, this truly cannot be blamed on me.
You have no idea how excessive and how wealthy those Demon Lords who came to besiege me were. It was one thing for more than ten of them to attack me, but the crucial point was that not only were their cultivation techniques of a high level, but they were also fully armed with a complete set of acquired spirit treasures.
You know the power of acquired spirit treasures. It was precisely because I possessed an inherited acquired spirit treasure that I could occupy a small place among Master’s disciples.
Even if my natural talent and foundation were somewhat lacking.
Among those of the same realm, few could match me.
Yet, the more than ten Demon Lords who attacked me, whether for defense or offense, all wielded acquired spirit treasures. Take a look at my acquired spirit treasure.
It’s not much different from being completely废了."
To avoid being branded as a failure, the Nine Nether Demon Lord hurriedly explained, while taking out his tattered family heirloom, the Nine Nether Umbrella, and spoke with tears flowing down his face.
The Nine Nether Umbrella was not only covered in cracks but also riddled with many holes. To put it bluntly, even a mortal in the mortal realm would not pick it up if they saw it, as it was so ruined.
It had lost even the most basic function of providing shelter from the rain.
Would they pick it up to use as firewood?
"This is your Nine Nether Umbrella, an acquired spirit treasure?
I originally thought you were incompetent, but I didn't expect your opponents to be so well-equipped. Given the sturdiness of acquired spirit treasures, even without manipulation, ordinary top-grade demonic artifacts would be unable to inflict damage.
Therefore, the Demon Lords who attacked you truly possessed quite a few acquired spirit treasures in their hands. But how did you escape? If you are not lying, it should have been very easy for them to capture you. That you managed to escape with your life.
Can only be attributed to them intentionally holding back.
Wait a moment, could it be that their true objective was not you at all, but simply to lure you back to call for reinforcements? They are aiming for... are they that audacious? Could their true objective be to attack Master?"
Ding Yun's actions were almost a blatant scheme. With sufficient information, Blood River Demon Emperor immediately guessed Ding Yun's intentions and sneered:
"Truly audacious.
You just mentioned that those Demon Lords who attacked you had a master behind them, and that master was rumored to be a Demon Emperor, right? Very well, she probably thinks you are not enough for her to make an example of.
So she set her sights on Master.
She is deliberately provoking us.
What kind of madwoman is she, wanting to use Master's prestige to make a name for herself? Truly seeking death!"
"You wait here. When the junior brothers and sisters arrive, you will explain to me properly. We will not disturb Master with this matter. I will take some men to help you regain your honor. How laughable, it's simply courting death!"
Because he was confident in his own strength, Blood River Demon Emperor, despite knowing this was Ding Yun's deliberate provocation, intended to play along and teach her a bloody lesson.
After speaking, he struck the Myriad Laws Bell.
He summoned all his junior brothers and sisters, elders, deacons, and even disciples of the second and third generations. The force established by the Myriad Laws Demon Emperor existed in the form of a sect, which was somewhat different from forces that established kingdoms and cities. The core of the sect primarily lay in its disciples and elders.
Some disciples chose to remain in the sect, while others chose to go out and establish other affiliated forces. The Nine Nether Demon Lord was one of those who chose to go out and establish affiliated forces.
Therefore, those who could be summoned at this time were mainly disciples and elders within the sect.
However, it was not as if the sect was facing a life-or-death crisis.
So, it was sufficient.
There was no need to recall all disciples and elders.
As those who were supposed to come gathered in the Hall of Manifesting Laws, Nine Nether Demon Lord, under the signal of Blood River Demon Emperor, recounted his encounter again. The difference from before was that he slightly exaggerated, adding some remarks from Ding Yun that belittled the Myriad Laws Demon Emperor. This easily made everyone indignant, and they clamored to destroy Ding Yun and grind her to dust.
At this point, Blood River Demon Emperor opportunely guided the conversation, making the subsequent conquest of Blood Fiend City appear quite reasonable. They didn't even make any preparations, simply bringing their demonic artifacts or acquired spirit treasures and setting off.
Led by Blood River Demon Emperor, they reached their destination in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Then, of course, the battle began.
This time, Ding Yun did not have her subordinates engage in combat. Although, with a complete set of acquired spirit treasures, they could contend with Demon Emperor-level powerhouses.
However, they could at best protect themselves.
To defeat or eliminate a Demon Emperor was pure fantasy.
Moreover, Ding Yun's primary objective in luring them over was to personally demonstrate her abilities for future expansion. Therefore, she directly ordered her subordinates to watch from the side.
Do not disrupt her performance.
Upon seeing that Ding Yun's subordinates indeed each possessed a set of acquired spirit treasures, Blood River Demon Emperor's pupils constricted. Out of concern that his junior brothers and sisters who lacked acquired spirit treasures would suffer losses, he ultimately instructed his own men to watch from the sidelines as well, intending to engage in a one-on-one duel with Ding Yun.
A confrontation between Emperors.
After all, whether he won or the other party won, the remaining Demon Lords would have little ability to resist. There was no need to involve everyone. If there were too many casualties, even if he eventually won,
It would not be easy to explain to his master, the Myriad Laws Demon Emperor.
Ding Yun had no objections to this. After a tacit agreement, the two began to fight. And the result, as expected, was not suspenseful. From the very beginning, Ding Yun had the upper hand against Blood River Demon Emperor. Ding Yun did not even use the spiritual power within her body, relying solely on her physical body to suppress him.
It must be known that although Ding Yun's cultivation was entirely raised by the concept-level River God, her improvement was comprehensive. Both her spiritual power and physical body realm
Could reach an almost invincible level within the same realm.
As a disciple of the Myriad Laws Demon Emperor, just by hearing the name "Myriad Laws," one could know that he primarily cultivated the spiritual power realm, not the physical body. Moreover, he had only just broken through three thousand years ago and was only at the early stage of the Demon Emperor realm.
How could he be Ding Yun's opponent?
Ding Yun suppressing him at this point was already holding back. If she were to use her full strength, she could kill him in a few moves.
After a few rounds, Blood River Demon Emperor was heavily injured by Ding Yun. Then Ding Yun quickly stopped:
"You are still too weak.
Go back and call your Master over. Fighting you feels like bullying the weak, it's really not satisfying.
Also, if you are willing to join my discipleship, I can bestow upon you a set of low-grade innate spirit treasures. Later, if you can achieve some merit, middle-grade innate spirit treasures, or even high-grade innate spirit treasures, are not impossible to grant you.
These are probably not something your Master can provide.
You can go back and consider it carefully.
If you insist on remaining loyal to your Master, then you must call your Master over. Once I defeat your Master, your joining my discipleship will be much more natural."
