Chapter 228 All the Demons Gather
"What is that?! Could it be that someone is about to undergo tribulation and become an immortal?!"

"There must be a priceless treasure emerging from the mountains, right here in the Dugu Clan! I heard that some experts have gone to investigate, and not only the clan leader of the Dugu Clan, but even the Demonic Sect's Yin Empress is there!"

"Those are all grandmaster-level experts; the fact that they're all guarding this treasure land at the same time suggests it's beyond our reach."

"Not only that, I heard that the Yin Gui Sect has already sided with 'Wang Gan' and is active in the Pegasus Ranch area. Their presence here now might mean that the Holy Emperor is also here!"

"You mean Wang Gan, the Holy Emperor of the Holy Gate, the leader of the Quanxing Sect, the elder brother of the Jade Emperor, and the sun god descended to earth?!"

"The person you're talking about and the one I know don't seem to be the same person. I've only heard that the Holy Emperor 'Wang Gan' defeated the Evil King Shi Zhixuan and killed Yuwen Huaji with a single palm strike."

"But that's what it says in the 'Biography of the Holy Emperor'! And look at these swirling clouds in the sky, is that something a mortal could make?! I can't resist anymore, I have to go and pay homage to the Holy Emperor's holy countenance, maybe it really can ward off evil and enhance virility!"

"Let's go together!"

The scene of clouds soaring into the sky over Chang'an City stirred up the essence of heaven and earth, even amazed the passersby, not to mention the martial arts masters with extraordinary perception and keen senses.

In less than a day, many martial arts masters gathered around the Dugu Clan, including some first-rate masters with profound inner strength.

Even with the formidable power of the Dugu Clan, it was difficult to stop so many martial arts masters, including some who, confident in their superior agility, wanted to infiltrate the area.

Click, click, click!

"what!"

"Queen of the Underworld! Queen of the Underworld, spare my life!"

"It's the Heavenly Demon Technique!"

Several crisp sounds of bones breaking and tendons snapping rang out, and the few martial artists who tried to sneak in were twisted into deformed shapes by the invisible demonic force field, leaving them only able to wail incessantly on the spot.

Zhu Yuyan's expression was grim; at this moment, the ruthless and decisive demeanor of the Demonic Sect's Yin Empress, whose power was overwhelming, was on full display!
"Wanwan, throw these people outside the Dugu Gate as a warning to others!"

Zhu Yuyan gave the order.
Then Zhu Yuyan spoke in a deep voice, her breath resonating from her dantian, her voice booming and almost echoing throughout the entire city of Chang'an.
"The Holy Emperor is in seclusion here!"

"Trespassers will be killed without mercy!"

Of course, the power of the Demonic Sect's Empress Yin could deter some petty villains, but it couldn't deter some truly greedy individuals.

"Hehehe! The Queen of the Underworld is quite the show of power!"

A strange laugh rang out.
At first listen, it sounds like a baby crying, but it quickly turns into screams and wails, hoarse and mocking sounds, strange noises, and those with slightly weaker skills will immediately feel dizzy and have hallucinations!
However, the people present in the Dugu Clan were all highly skilled, at least first-rate experts, and they remained unfazed by this kind of supernatural trickery.

"Ah"

Zhu Yuyan said disdainfully,

"You Niaojuan, when did you become only capable of these superstitious tricks?!"

With a strange laugh, a dazzling golden light, like a shooting star, streaked across the sky, accompanied by a violent gale.

Amidst the fierce wind, a man with a sallow face and emaciated frame appeared, looking as if he were about to die. However, he was extremely tall and was carrying a golden, one-legged bronze figure in his hand, weighing no less than three or four hundred pounds!
The newcomer sizing up the Empress Yin before him with the venom of a viper, then grinned a grotesque smile.

"Yu Yan... how have you been?"

"Don't be so cold. Logically speaking, you should call me 'Senior Brother'."

The newcomer was none other than Xiang Yutian's disciple, the eighth of the eight great masters of the Demonic Sect, You Niaojuan, known as "Going Against the Grain"!
The voice has not fallen,

Several more people rushed in like a gust of wind from behind You Niaojuan.
Leading the group was a burly man in tight-fitting clothes, with a hooked nose, deep-set eyes, and a towering crown on his head. He looked strangely evil, and had a huge iron pair of shears stuck in his back, weighing at least one or two hundred pounds.

The man next to him had a face as wide as a basin, a bulging chin, two thick lips that protruded like a bird's beak, and eyes that looked like will-o'-the-wisps. His short, fat body had two thick, tree-trunk-like hands, making him extremely ugly!

Beside him stood a woman in colorful palace attire, appearing to be only twenty-four or twenty-five years old. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes like autumn water, but the faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes suggested she was not so young. This was none other than "The Great Emperor" Ding Jiuzhong!

"Barehanded Flame" Old Zhou sighed!

"Meiniangzi" Jin Huanzhen!

These four are disciples of the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian, a demon who has roamed the Central Plains for decades. Neither the righteous nor the demonic paths want to provoke them, and each of them is a master of martial arts!

As Xiang Yutian's disciples, they naturally knew the 'Evil Emperor's Relic' best!
The vital energy above Chang'an surged upwards, and the aura of the Evil Emperor's Relic erupted, instantly attracting these demons!

The four stood side by side, looking at Yin Hou and his group with unfriendly expressions. These four were originally selfish and self-serving individuals handpicked by Xiang Yutian. Whenever they met, they would fight over the incomplete 'Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique' in their hands.

But today, with the relic of the Evil Emperor appearing in the world, they stood together tacitly in the face of the renowned Empress Yin.

"With so many disgraceful disciples like you, my martial uncle is truly unworthy of being a disciple of his school."

Zhu Yuyan sneered.
"It's no use talking more!"

Yu Niaojuan snorted coldly.
"You know why we're here!"

"The Relic of the Evil Emperor!"

“That is the legacy left by my master. Now that it has been lost, it is only right that we, his disciples, should take over it!”

"As for that so-called Holy Emperor... I only recognize one Holy Emperor of the Demonic Sect, and that is my master, 'Xiang Yutian'!"

Ding Jiuzhong laughed heartily.
"Empress Yin, I see you're also longing for a man!"

"You found some pretty boy and think he's the Holy Emperor of the Holy Gate? If you ask me, you might as well come to me to solve this!"

Zhu Yuyan remained expressionless, and her few vulgar words could not shake the Empress's mind.

"The Holy Emperor is currently in seclusion refining the Evil Emperor's relic."

"If you dare to take on the challenge, feel free to give it a try."

Instantly, the demonic force field raged, the surrounding air became heavy, and everything within a three-zhang radius stopped flowing.

In an instant, a chill ran through the hearts of You Niaojuan and the other three.
This old woman... her cultivation has actually improved again?!
You Niaojuan's expression changed slightly. These four were certainly not ordinary people. Apart from You Niaojuan, who was a top-tier figure among the eight great masters of the Demonic Sect, the other three, as disciples of the Evil Emperor, were also first-rate experts with profound cultivation.
They were confident that the four of them could go anywhere in the world if they joined forces, but they had no confidence at all when facing Zhu Yuyan, whose cultivation had improved further after following Wang Gan.

And
Yu Niaojuan and his three companions glanced at Bai Qing'er and her group, as well as You Chuhong of the Dugu Clan. These people were not easy to deal with either, and they felt uncertain about their chances.
"Hahaha!"

"The four of them are certainly not qualified to challenge the Queen of the Underworld."

"But what if I were included?!"

A sinister laugh rang out, accompanied by a figure tinged with purple, moving with incredible speed.

Those with weaker cultivation levels, like Wanwan, didn't even realize what was happening!

The newcomer was dressed in a blue robe, like a scholar. He was tall and thin, and appeared to be a refined and cultured man. His fair and slender face was adorned with a smile, making him seem like a frail scholar.

But beneath his thick eyebrows were a pair of striking eyes, which revealed a sharp, evil, and cruel light, eerie and terrifying.

"The Heavenly Emperor responds!?"

Wanwan's expression changed slightly as she recognized the person who had come.
