Chapter 495: Demon Master
The remaining black-clothed demons were all shocked when they saw Ye Xiao"s ruthless moves and hurriedly tried to retreat, but they were all sent flying by Ye Xiao"s palm.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
All the black-clothed demons who were sent flying felt a powerful force coming from their bodies. They were unable to resist and vomited out blood.
In the blink of an eye, only the leader of the black-clothed demons was left standing in front of Ye Xiao. The black-clothed demon turned around and wanted to escape, but Ye Xiao kicked a stone off the ground.
"Psshh!"
"Arghh!"
The stone smashed into the demon"s bones, causing him to scream miserably as he fell to his knees.
"Who sent you?" Ye Xiao rushed forward and asked coldly.
The black-clothed demon saw that the situation was bad and wanted to commit suicide. He was a death demon and will die willingly if encounter any situation like the current situation.
Ye Xiao saw through his intention.
"You want to die?" A cold light flashed in Ye Xiao"s eyes and his hand directly grabbed the black-clothed demon"s head.
That black-clothed demon"s mouth grew wide as if he saw something terrifying and began to let out painful cries.
However, moments later, that black-clothed demon shut his mouth and died.
"It"s actually the Fourth Prince?" Ye Xiao frowned.
The Fourth Prince had actually sent someone to intercept him, kill him, and rob the heart from him.
Ye Xiao used another ability of the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon. This ability was called "Soul Search". With this ability, Ye Xiao could directly see every second of a person"s life.
Of course, in the process of Soul Searching, the person will experience an unbelievable amount of pain that would come directly from the depth of that person"s soul.
"I don"t have time to get involved with you right now. But in the future, you"ll surely pay for this." Ye Xiao muttered in his heart.
In order to increase his strength, he had to make use of any possible time. Ye Xiao didn"t have the time to bother with people like the Fourth Prince.
"With this heart, I"ll be able to gain a name for myself and go straight to the Blood Pond!" Ye Xiao suddenly stood up and headed in the direction of the Demon Master"s Hall.
Along the way, he also killed the residual soul that was hiding inside the heart and then devoured the two drops of Ancient Demon"s Blood. But he didn"t absorb the drops of blood right now. He chose to absorb it after entering the Blood Pond.
_Blood Demon Sect"s main altar, Demon Master"s Hall_
A huge city stood there, its tall walls obscuring the view of the outside world. In front of the door, there were two huge demon soldiers standing guard who looked extremely imposing.
Ye Xiao arrived here and looked at the huge city by raising his head high. Then he walked to enter the city gate.
"Halt!" The demon soldiers blocked Ye Xiao"s path when he tried to enter.
Their voices were loud and clear. Every single one of them was actually a Demon Emperor Realm demon.
Ye Xiao"s eyes remained calm and he shouted loudly, "I have obtained a sacred object from the forbidden grounds, I am here to offer it to Demon Master!"
When the two guards heard him, they were surprised. They had heard that Demon Master was sending many demons to the Forbidden Land to search for something. Now that they heard Ye Xiao, they were surprised. Of course, they were only surprised but didn"t doubt him. It"s because no one believed that any demon or demonic cultivator has the guts to lie with the matter related to Demon Master.
One of the guards led Ye Xiao inside and brought him in front of the Demon Master"s Hall. There were another two guards guarding the front of the Demon master"s Hall.
After bringing him here, the guard left. Ye Xiao told the guards guarding the Demon Master"s Hall the same thing that he told the previous guards.
After a while, the door in front of Ye Xiao opened and a deep voice came from behind the door, "Let him in!"
An old man with a hunched back stood behind the door. When he saw Ye Xiao, he did not say anything and walked in with Ye Xiao behind his back.
The Demon Master"s Hall was in a warped state but Ye Xiao"s brows were tightly knitted. Ye Xiao stopped in front of a courtyard.
"Is this the place where the Demon Master is located?" Ye Xiao asked in a heavy voice.
"You have been here?" The old man was slightly surprised and asked.
Ye Xiao shook his head reply then walked in. Along the way, when the old man asked, Ye Xiao told him that he was here to present the Heart to the Demon Master.
A violent cough sounded from the empty courtyard. Surrounding him, countless Blood Demon Sect warriors stood on both sides.
"You are here to present the treasure you have obtained from the Forbidden Land?" A voice resounded like thunder as Ye Xiao approached the courtyard.
Ye Xiao looked over, only to see an old man wearing a black robe on his body staring at Ye Xiao.
The old man behind Ye Xiao bowed and said "Vice Demon Master, he is here to pay respect to Demon Master and give him the Heart."
"Oh?" The black-robed elder was a little surprised and looked at Ye Xiao, "A mere Middle Stage Demon King Realm brat, was actually able to take away his heart."
Ye Xiao said indifferently, "Does seizing a treasure still have to depend on the cultivation realm?"
"Humph! Beautiful words. Forget it, since you have here to offer it to Demon Master, hand over the heart that you have obtained." The old demon in the black robe extended his hand and said.
Ye Xiao, however, did not move as he looked towards the inner room of the courtyard and said calmly, "I have come to present the Heart to Demon Master, not to present it to you. I am going to personally hand it to Demon Master, it would be best if you don"t force me."
The old demon in a black robe was angered when he heard this. It was the first time someone actually dare to talk like this to him. He shouted, "How dare you talk to this me like that. Are you tired of living?"
In his fury, the surrounding demonic energy immediately became berserk. Sand and rocks flew everywhere and even the ground began to faintly tremble.
The old demon"s body did not move but it was as if his entire body had merged with the world. Every time he breathe, a portion of the surrounding demonic energy would be drawn to him and fluctuate heavily.
He had already reached the Dao Manifestation Realm. The demonic energy never stopped surging, it was strong enough to tear the surrounding s.p.a.ce.
If it were any other person instead of Ye Xiao standing in front of such an expert, they would probably not even have the courage to stand.
Ye Xiao looked at the old demon as he said blandly, "I am giving the Heart to Demon Master, not to you. You are in such a hurry to take it, are you going to kill me and take the Heart all for yourself?"
The old demon"s hand trembled and the demonic energy around his body suddenly stopped.
"Let him in!" A hoa.r.s.e voice came from behind the door.
Hearing this voice, practically everyone who was standing in the courtyard trembled and even the demonic energy on the old demon"s body instantly dissipated.
"When you come out, this old man will make you regret it!" The old demon thought in his heart as he looked at Ye Xiao fiercely.
Ye Xiao didn"t care about that.
In terms of himself, he couldn"t even be considered to be someone from the Blood Demon Sect. Offending a being on the level of the Vice Demon Master was a huge problem in the eyes of others, but in Ye Xiao"s opinion, it was not the same thing.
"Creak!"
The door to the house was opened. There was a b.l.o.o.d.y smell coming from inside and a demon with disheveled hair was leaning against a chair. There were also a few young men standing in front of him. From the looks of it, they were all wearing black python robes and should be the princes of the Blood Demon Sect s.
"How dare you? How dare you not kneel even after seeing the Demon Master? Quickly kneel down!"
It was the Fourth Prince who suddenly shouted.
Ye Xiao looked at him, frowned before saying, "Demon Master has yet to speak, what qualifications do you have to interrupt?"
"You!" The Fourth Prince was shocked and angry at the same time.
"Give me the heart and I will fulfill one of your wishes!" It was at this time when the Demon Master"s hoa.r.s.e voice rang out.
The Fourth Prince coldly said, "Did you hear that? Hand over the heart quickly."
Ye Xiao did not say anything. He simply took out the Blood Corpse"s heart and walked step by step towards the man with dishevelled hair.
