I subdue demons and monsters, and cultivate immortality in hell to become a saint.

Niu Tou gritted his teeth and endured it, cold sweat streaming down his face.

He wasn't being principled; rather, he was on a mission for the underworld. If he disgraced the underworld here, he would definitely face dire consequences when he returned!

Just when he was about to give up, the document in his hand, personally written by Zhong Jiu, suddenly burst forth with a dense black light!

An immense and unparalleled aura surged from the document, instantly protecting the bull demon within and completely neutralizing the aura of the four demon emperors!

wow——

This scene caused everyone's pupils to shrink and their faces to shrink in horror!

The City God did not appear in person; a single handwritten letter was enough to withstand the combined pressure of the four demon kings.

How terrifying must the City God's power be?

The group, who had initially refused to give up the treasure, suddenly felt immense pressure, and their confidence vanished almost instantly.

Feng Xuanzi murmured to himself, a hint of struggle flashing in his eyes: "For the past three years, the Underworld has been deeply involved in the lives of ordinary people in Nanling Province, rarely asserting its authority. Everyone thought that the Underworld had long lost its former glory. But now it seems that the City God of Xingsha City is still a top-tier supernatural being in this world!"

But are we just going to give up the treasures of Longyuan Mountain like this?

He was truly unwilling to accept it!

Everyone present shared the same thought: they were both wary of the power of the underworld and reluctant to part with the treasure before them.

A single letter from the City God instantly extinguished most of their arrogance, and the four major cultivation sects were already wavering in their hearts.

However, the four demon emperors were not so wary. Three years ago, when the Underworld was famous, they were not yet well-known. Even now, having heard of the Underworld's reputation, they were only slightly wary, regarding it as a powerful force, but far from being in awe of it!

The bull demon, already secretly regretting his arrogance, saw the City God's handwritten letter and instantly floated up again, puffing out his chest and laughing wildly, "Hmph! Did you see that? With just one letter from the Lord, you dare not even breathe loudly, and you still dare to disobey the decree?"

He held up the book and walked step by step toward the crowd, his arrogance growing louder: "This Nanling Province has always been the territory of my Underworld! If the Master wants to retrieve the treasure, you dare to rob him? Do you want to taste the Dragon-Slaying Platform?"

The Dragon-Slaying Platform has long been completed and transformed into a fierce and powerful magical artifact. Countless offending demons have been brought to the platform and beheaded. Its reputation has spread far and wide, making people tremble with fear at the mere mention of it!

The three-headed crocodile gritted its teeth in anger, its eyes surging with murderous intent. If it weren't for the fact that the bull demon had the backing of the underworld, it would have already swallowed the arrogant bull demon whole and crushed its bones to dust!

Seeing this, the bull demon became even more arrogant, holding up the document and taunting, "If you have strength, you naturally have the right to be arrogant! If you're so capable, come and bite me; if you're not, shut your mouth!"

The three-headed crocodile was burning with rage, but dared not make a rash move. He couldn't afford to gamble with the underworld's resources!

The old monk suppressed his anger and tried to reason with him, his tone somewhat persuasive: "May I ask, Ox-Headed General, the City God is a high and mighty deity. Why would he compete with us mortal cultivators for treasures? Isn't this beneath his divine status?"

He wanted to elevate Chung Gau to the status of a deity, using grand principles to force the underworld to yield.

If it were any other Yin deity, they might have argued with him, but unfortunately, he was facing the reckless Ox-Head!

The bull demon, looking impatient, interrupted him, "What do you want from the master for treasures? Even if you take them back to display, it's none of your business!"

"I'm too lazy to waste words with you, I'll just ask you one question!"

The bull demon stepped forward, its aura surging, and demanded in a stern voice, "Will you obey the master's decree, or not?"

These words left the old monk speechless, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, filled with resentment but with no way to vent it.

The members of the four major sects secretly communicated, urgently discussing countermeasures: "Fellow Daoists, what should we do about this?"

"This bull demon is too arrogant, I really want to slap him to death!"

"But he has the backing of the underworld. The aura of the City God's handwritten letter is terrifying even to me. We can't afford to gamble!"

"This place is originally Nanling Province, the territory of the Underworld. This bull demon may seem to be all alone, but perhaps the Underworld army is already fully prepared and ready to go!"

After a quick discussion, the group reached a consensus: to avoid their sharp edge for now!

Feng Xuanzi looked at Niu Tou, suppressing his resentment, and forced a smile: "Since Lord City God intends to take the treasure, we naturally dare not stop him. We will now depart!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the people from the four major sects immediately turned around and fled in a sorry state.

Everyone's face was filled with resentment, just like the officials they had previously driven out!

Seeing this, Zhong Yingmei felt extremely pleased, and a relieved smile appeared on her lips.

It turns out that even these high-ranking sect leaders have such embarrassing moments!

Song Jingyu was filled with emotion, his tone brimming with awe: "The Underworld truly lives up to its name; its depths are unfathomable!"

Those forgotten memories resurfaced clearly, and the officials finally realized that the horror of the underworld far exceeded their imagination!

The four major sects retreated in disarray because of a bull demon at the Demon King level. What they feared was not the bull demon itself, but the underworld behind it!

If even the four major sects are so wary of the Underworld, wouldn't these official forces be as insignificant as ants in front of the Underworld?

The world is so vast; indeed, there are always people beyond people and mountains beyond mountains!

The officials dared not linger any longer, and hurriedly turned and left in a sorry state. Today's events were simply beyond their control!

What they didn't know was that the people from the four major sects hadn't actually gone far away. Instead, they stopped halfway, hovering in the air, silently observing the movements of Dragon Origin Mountain, their eyes filled with calculation.

"How can we so easily hand over the precious treasures of Longyuan Mountain?"

"A mere bull demon? Do you really think we're afraid of him? We're just wary of the underworld behind him!"

"The underworld is unfathomable; we don't need to be the first to stick our necks out. Why not let the four demon kings test the waters? The demon race acts without restraint; they might not give the underworld any face!"

The cultivators smirked, a calculating glint in their eyes.

The real show is just beginning!

They are not really retreating, but rather using retreat as a strategy to advance!

The four demon kings were proud and arrogant, and would never bow down to a bull demon, much less give up the treasure before them!

If the City God of Xingsha City had come in person, they might have really retreated, but since only a bull demon came, its deterrent power was greatly reduced!

Once the four demon kings have dealt with the bull demon, they can take the opportunity to enter and seize the treasure. Even if the underworld investigates, they will have an explanation, since they have already retreated as requested by the bull demon and have not disrespected the City God!

As expected, just as they had anticipated, the four demon emperors remained standing still, their icy gazes fixed on the bull demon, their killing intent almost tangible!

The bull demon straightened his back, waved impatiently at the four demon kings, and cursed, "You four, you scrawny bird, three-headed worm, golden-haired dog, and skeleton, are you deaf?"

"Isn't what I said clear enough? Get out of here now, and you might save your life. If you dare to dawdle any longer, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The four demon emperors exchanged a glance, their divine senses instantly connecting, not even bothering to conceal it.

"A mere demon king dares to be so arrogant? He doesn't understand hierarchy and is simply courting death!"

"We've come all this way to the treasure trove, and we're going to leave empty-handed? If word gets out, we'll utterly disgrace the Demon Emperor. How will we ever be able to stand up for ourselves in the demon realm again!"

"It's not the City God of Xingsha City who's here, just a broken bull demon! Kill him, divide the treasure, and run away as fast as you can. No matter how powerful the Underworld is, can they search the whole world for us?"

"That's right! This is a highly competitive world; if you don't seize opportunities, you'll be eliminated! So what if it's the underworld? Does it have the right to block our path to growth? Let's do it!"

The four demon kings, with clear minds, instantly reached a consensus.

His eyes suddenly turned fierce and piercing, his killing intent directly targeting the bull demon.

The bull demon swallowed hard, his heart tightening, and demanded in a deep voice, "What do you want?"

He knows that look in his eyes all too well!

Back when he was just a nobody demon with no backing, those powerful demons who wanted to eat him looked at him with such lustful eyes.

That was a look that clearly said he was going to be stewed into beef soup!

The Silver Crane Demon King's tone was icy and chilling, each word dripping with murderous intent: "Bull Demon, you will pay a bloody price for your arrogance!"

The voice of the Bone Demon King was like the cawing of a crow, sinister and terrifying: "So what if it's the Underworld? Today we're going to kill you, and no one can stop us!"

With a furious roar, the Lion King revealed his true form: a golden lion tens of meters tall, blotting out the sky and exuding overwhelming power and murderous aura: "Who gave you the audacity to be so arrogant before me!"

The three-headed crocodile, its eyes bloodshot with rage, roared, "The bull demon's head is mine! I'm taking it back to my underwater palace to be used as a football by my children!"

That damned bull demon dared to call him Three-Headed Insect! This is an utter disgrace!
