Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Chapter 683 The Heavenly Demon... Why didn't it appear...?

Han Yuankai was not only unharmed by Su Hanyan's Wind and Thunder Sword, but also used the lightning-attribute spiritual power in the air to perform the Thunder Step, instantly rushing into the misty world.

In Han Yuankai's view, as long as he could enter the Misty World, he could hide anywhere and the Xia Emperor would never be able to find him.

Furthermore, the space of the Mist World is extremely unstable. Especially after the restrictions on the Mist World disappeared, the space of the Mist World has shown signs of collapse. Therefore, there is no need for Emperor Xia to risk his life in the Mist World for him.

Seeing Su Hanyan vanish from her sight in a flash of lightning, Su Hanyan frowned. She absolutely would not allow the person who killed her master to escape from her sight like this.

The next moment, Su Hanyan once again flew away on her sword and chased after Han Yuankai in the direction he had fled.

With the help of the lightning spiritual power of the Wind and Thunder Sword, Han Yuankai's speed was already incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, he was almost at the boundary between the Misty World and the Heavenly Chen World.

As the misty world drew ever closer, Han Yuankai was overjoyed, believing he had successfully escaped.

At this moment, he fantasized that after a while, he would come out of the misty world again, and then find a way to change his identity to get close to Emperor Xia. For a demonic cultivator like him, it would be relatively easy to transform into another person.

At that time, he might be able to leave this place with the help of the Xia Emperor's fairy ship.

Just as Han Yuankai was figuring out whose skin to wear so that the Xia Emperor wouldn't easily discover it, a huge shadow suddenly appeared in the sky.

Before Han Yuankai could react, a sword aura descended from the sky and slashed directly at his body.

Just as the sword energy was about to strike Han Yuankai's body, Han Yuankai stopped in time and did not continue forward. He quickly jumped back a step to dodge the attack.

At this moment, he looked up at the sky and saw the huge celestial ship in the sky, and the Xia Emperor at the bow of the celestial ship.

Han Yuankai's face darkened. "Emperor Xia, do you really intend to drive us to extinction?!"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "If you were just the sect leader of the Misty Immortal Sect, I might let you go, but unfortunately you are a demonic cultivator, so I cannot let you go."

Han Yuankai was consumed by rage. He was so terrified of death that he felt no fear, only the thought of dying together with the Xia Emperor.

Han Yuankai said coldly, "Since you insist on driving us to our deaths, then you shall perish with me!"

Han Yuankai had realized that his escape speed was not as fast as the immortal boat, and no matter how he tried to escape, he could not escape the immortal boat's pursuit.

He didn't want to die, but the Xia Emperor clearly had no intention of giving him a way out. Since the Xia Emperor didn't want him to live, then neither of them should live.

The next moment, Han Yuankai plunged his sword into the ground, and a magic array emitting red patterns instantly appeared on the ground.

When Su Hanyan arrived, she was stunned to see Han Yuankai activate the sacrificial array. She hadn't expected that Han Yuankai would actually activate the sacrificial array.

As the sacrificial array was formed, Han Yuankai spat out a mouthful of blood. He laughed loudly, "Emperor Xia, I don't care what power you are, the chosen one of heaven. Today you will be buried in this lowly world and be buried with me."

"Before I die, I'm fortunate to be able to take you, the chosen one of a powerful force, down with me. It's worth it!"

Although he didn't know Lu Chen's true identity, he could tell from the Immortal Ship that Emperor Xia was no ordinary person. Han Yuankai hated those chosen ones the most.

In his heart, all his suffering was caused by those privileged children.

He died with a prodigy buried with him, so he could die in peace.

However, Han Yuankai soon discovered a problem: the sacrificial formation was complete, and his life was nearing its end, but the Heavenly Demon had not yet appeared.

Han Yuankai coughed up another mouthful of blood, collapsing in the center of the sacrificial array. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stammered, "How...how could this be..."

"Why hasn't the Heavenly Demon appeared...?"

He didn't believe there was something wrong with his senses. Demonic cultivators were extremely sensitive to the aura of the Heavenly Demon, and that Heavenly Demon's aura was particularly strong; he had sensed it more than once in the Misty World.

As a result, even after he had used up all the sacrificial magic arrays and was completely exhausted, the Heavenly Demon still did not appear!

Seeing Han Yuankai's vital energy being rapidly absorbed by the sacrificial array, his entire being aging at a visible rate, and his facial skin becoming increasingly wrinkled, like the bark of a withered old tree, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Sect Master Han, where is the Heavenly Demon you summoned? Why hasn't he appeared yet?"

Hearing Lu Chen's mockery, Han Yuankai spat out another mouthful of blood, "How is this possible..."

Seeing that Han Yuankai's life force was almost drained by the sacrificial array, Lu Chen, in order to let him die in peace, simply said, "I suddenly remembered that I killed a Heavenly Demon in the Great Qian Dynasty a few years ago. The Heavenly Demon you mentioned, could it be that you're referring to summoning that Heavenly Demon?"

Hearing this, Han Yuankai reluctantly raised his hand, pointing at Lu Chen in the sky, "You..."

Before Han Yuankai could finish speaking, his body was reduced to nothing but skin and bones.

Seeing that the sacrificial array was still operating, Lu Chen frowned slightly. Logically speaking, he had already killed all the demons in this world, so why was the sacrificial array still working even after Han Yuankai used it?

If no demons come, the sacrificial array shouldn't actively absorb the blood of the sacrificers, right?

At that moment, a system notification sound rang out.

"The demonic cultivator's magic array for summoning celestial demons is used to summon celestial demons from all worlds. However, the celestial demons in this world have already been eliminated by the host. It would take a long time for celestial demons from other worlds to come to the Tianchen World. But the sacrifice array has already been activated, and the sacrifice cannot be withdrawn."

Upon hearing the system's explanation, Lu Chen realized what was going on.

Lu Chen then thought to himself, "So, when the demons from other worlds sense Han Yuankai's sacrificial array, they might still be able to travel to this world?"

The system replied, "Yes."

Lu Chen frowned. It seemed there was another problem. Fortunately, he had the Demon Exorcism Banner. He just didn't know if the Demon Exorcism Banner could deal with the demons from other worlds.

The Heavenly Demon he killed last time in the Great Qian Dynasty was only an injured one. If a more powerful Heavenly Demon were to come, he might not be able to deal with it.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen thrust his sword at Han Yuankai's sacrificial array, and with the fall of the sword, the entire sacrificial array was completely destroyed.

After the sacrificial array was destroyed, Su Hanyan stood there expressionless, staring at the desiccated corpse.

Her mind was blank; she didn't know what she was thinking.

She had always thought Han Yuankai was a kind and approachable senior brother, but it turned out that he was the mastermind behind the death of their master, and even sowed discord within the Misty Immortal Sect. Just now, he had even constructed a bloodthirsty array to absorb the blood essence of the Misty Immortal Sect disciples in order to increase his strength.

After gradually calming down, Su Hanyan felt extremely regretful. Why hadn't she discovered the true face of Han Yuankai, this devil, back then!

If she had discovered it a day earlier, perhaps none of this would have happened, and perhaps her master might not have died.

Unfortunately, it's all too late now.

Fortunately, Han Yuankai, the devil who killed her master, is dead.

Seeing Su Hanyan standing motionless, quietly staring at Han Yuankai's corpse, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

The cultivation world is full of deceit and treachery, so one really can't trust others too easily. Su Hanyan trusted her senior brother Han Yuankai too much.

Lu Chen then waved his hand, and a ball of flame flew out from his hand, igniting Han Yuankai's corpse and instantly burning his body to dust. He then steered the immortal boat towards Black Dragon City.

He did not forcibly take Su Hanyan away, but before leaving, he still left a message.

"The responsibility for the Misty Immortal Sect's invasion of the Great Xia Dynasty can all be attributed to Han Yuankai."

Although Lu Chen didn't explicitly state how he planned to deal with the Misty Immortal Sect, Su Hanyan understood that Lu Chen intended to take over the entire Misty Immortal Sect.

The Misty Immortal Sect is definitely no match for the Great Xia Dynasty. If they continue to choose to fight against Great Xia, they will only face certain death. Placing all the blame on Han Yuankai is tantamount to giving the surviving members of the Misty Immortal Sect a way out.

If they still choose to oppose the Great Xia Dynasty, then they are ungrateful.

Su Hanyan sighed slightly. She hadn't expected it to end like this, but it was fine. Not only did she learn how her master had died, but she also helped the disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect to see Han Yuankai as a demon.
