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

Chapter 720 I never expected you to come to my door so readily!

As soon as Li Xinghuai finished speaking, his demonic energy rushed straight towards Lu Chen, seemingly intending to kill him.

However, Lu Chen showed no fear on his face. He sat quietly in his seat, waiting for Li Xinghuai's demonic energy to arrive.

Just when everyone from other sects thought Lu Chen was doomed, Li Xinghuai's demonic energy seemed to be blocked by something, unable to get close to Lu Chen.

This……

Seeing his demonic energy stop in front of Lu Chen, Li Xinghuai was completely stunned.

What's going on?

Why can't my demonic energy harm this person?

Everyone present was stunned. Li Xinghuai had clearly intended to kill, so he couldn't possibly stop. Now that the demonic energy was lingering in front of that man, it was obvious that the man had used some means to block the demonic energy.

How could someone from the Bewitching Immortal Sect actually be able to resist the erosion of demonic energy?

At this moment, Li Xinghuai increasingly sensed something was wrong, and his sense of crisis grew stronger. His face darkened as he asked, "Who are you?!"

Lu Chen didn't answer Li Xinghuai's question, but instead asked, "Sect Master Su, you still haven't told me where the Heavenly Demon power in your body comes from. There are no Heavenly Demons in the Tianchen World. Are you just bragging?"

Seeing that Lu Chen didn't believe him, Li Xinghuai sneered and said, "I have never said that the demonic power in my body comes from the Tianchen World."

Lu Chen then said calmly, "Since it's not from the Tianchen World, it must be from the neighboring Ziyang World. I didn't expect that Sect Master Li would actually collude with the enemies of the neighboring Ziyang World."

Upon hearing this, Li Xinghuai felt a tremor in his heart.

He then said coldly, "Who exactly are you?!"

As he spoke, the demonic energy emanating from Li Xinghuai surged, and the surrounding demonic energy made it difficult for the cultivators present to breathe.

Seeing Li Xinghuai's strong reaction, Lu Chen stopped pretending. Based on Li Xinghuai's reaction, it was basically confirmed that the demonic energy on Li Xinghuai's body came from the neighboring Ziyang World.

Now that it was confirmed that the Heavenly Demons existed in the Ziyang World, Li Xinghuai was no longer of any use. Lu Chen then manipulated the Yin-Yang Mirror to restore himself to his original appearance.

Upon seeing Lu Chen's appearance, everyone present was immediately shocked.

"The Xia Emperor! It's the Xia Emperor!"

"Oh no, we've fallen for their trap!"

"The Xia Emperor has actually appeared here!"

……

Upon seeing that it was Lu Chen, Li Xinghuai was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, "I was originally planning to keep you here a little longer, but I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my doorstep!"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Does Sect Leader Li believe that with the Heavenly Demon backing you, you are no match for me?"

Li Xinghuai snorted coldly and said, "Whether he's a match for you or not, we'll know once we make a move."

As they spoke, Li Xinghuai immediately manipulated demonic energy to attack Lu Chen. Lu Chen didn't intend to waste too much time and directly took out the Demon Exorcism Banner.

As soon as the exorcism banner appeared, the demonic energy in the entire hall was instantly purified. When the golden light emitted by the exorcism banner shone on Li Xinghuai, he immediately felt an intense stinging pain in his body.

Li Xinghuai finally understood why Lu Chen dared to come directly to him; it turned out that Lu Chen possessed a treasure that could suppress demonic energy.

Li Xinghuai then addressed the crowd, saying, "The Xia Emperor is right here! Let's all join forces and kill him!"

As soon as Li Xinghuai finished speaking, Su Hanyan and the elders of the Mixian Sect immediately stood up. Then, Su Hanyan directly attacked the sect leader and elders present.

Su Hanyan said expressionlessly, "Everyone, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I am Emperor Xia's woman and it is impossible for me to betray him."

Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions drastically. Emperor Xia himself possessed the strength of the Myriad Laws Realm, and now with the addition of Su Hanyan, another expert in the Myriad Laws Realm, and with Li Xinghuai being restrained by Emperor Xia, they had absolutely no chance of winning.

Immediately, everyone present chose to flee.

Su Hanyan had no intention of giving them a chance to escape. She then used Illusory Mist Shadow, and in an instant, the entire hall was shrouded in purple mist.

Su Hanyan then began the massacre, and soon more than half of the cultivators in the hall were dead.

Seeing this, Li Xinghuai immediately used the power of the Heavenly Demon, coldly saying, "I don't believe you can completely resist the power of the Heavenly Demon!"

As they were speaking, a pair of black, misty hands appeared behind Li Xinghuai. These hands reached out to grab Lu Chen, who immediately activated the Demon Burial Technique and once again activated the Demon Exorcism Banner.

The exorcism banner instantly shone with golden light, and the giant hand formed by the power of the heavenly demons was directly shattered by the golden light.

Upon seeing this, a look of horror appeared on Li Xinghuai's face.

"No...it's impossible..."

"That's the power of a demon!!"

"How could any cultivator possibly withstand the power of the Heavenly Demon?!"

Heavenly Demons are the nemesis of all cultivators. When faced with Heavenly Demons, most cultivators can only run away. Even weak Heavenly Demons are difficult for cultivators to eliminate; at most, they can only use some formations to seal them.

Li Xinghuai originally thought that by siding with the Heavenly Demon and possessing its power, no cultivator in the entire Tianchen World could rival him. However, he never expected that Emperor Xia would be able to restrain the Heavenly Demon's power.

Demonic energy can suppress spiritual energy, right? Aren't cultivators food for celestial demons?

Why is the demonic power on him completely useless against Lu Chen?

Even if Lu Chen possesses a treasure that can resist demonic energy, he shouldn't be able to completely withstand the power of the Heavenly Demon!

Realizing his life might be in danger, Li Xinghuai immediately activated his demonic power again and shouted, "Lord Demon, save me!!!"

As soon as Li Xinghuai finished speaking, a black aura suddenly descended from the sky, piercing through the roof of the main hall and then pouring into Li Xinghuai's body.

Lu Chen did not stop his attack because of the black aura. He activated the exorcism banner again, took out the God-Slaying Spear from the system space, and teleported directly behind Li Xinghuai.

Li Xinghuai quickly turned around and unleashed a palm strike, but the demonic energy on his body dissipated before it even touched Lu Chen. Lu Chen then thrust out a spear, instantly piercing through Li Xinghuai's body.

The demonic energy on Li Xinghuai's body seemed to have found an outlet, gushing out from his chest. The demonic energy seemed to be sentient, flying directly into the sky as if it were trying to escape.

Seeing this, Lu Chen chuckled.

"You're already here, do you think you can just run away?"

Then Lu Chen activated the Exorcism Banner once more, and the banner instantly released countless purple light waves. When those light waves came into contact with the black demonic energy, the demonic energy seemed to evaporate and was completely purified in a very short time.

Lu Chen pulled the God-Slaying Spear out of Li Xinghuai's body. Li Xinghuai's eyes widened, and his corpse fell to the ground unwillingly.

At this moment, the elders of those sects shouted that they wanted to surrender, but Lu Chen did not give them the opportunity.

Since the goal is to make an example of someone, we can't be lenient this time. It would be disgusting if every time he went into seclusion, some rebels would emerge.

To achieve a deterrent effect, none of these forces that want to rebel should be let off the hook.

Soon, Lu Chen and Su Hanyan eliminated all the forces that wanted to rebel, but the matter was not over yet.

What has been dealt with so far are only some sect leaders and elders, just the higher-ups of those forces.

Lu Chen then ordered the Wanxian Sect to eliminate all forces involved in the rebellion.
