In the dark sky, the thick, inky black mist gathered together with lightning speed, eventually transforming into a human figure that stood in front of the fleeing elder.

In an instant!

An immense, boundless pressure swept over the area instantly, sealing it off completely.

The Nascent Soul Realm elder was as if imprisoned in an invisible cage, unable to move.

Just moments ago, he had been secretly delighted at the prospect of escaping this place, but in that instant, his expression became extremely ugly, as if he had swallowed a dead child, his features contorted beyond recognition.

Especially when they felt that terrifying, almost suffocating fluctuation in the surrounding space, they instantly felt as if they had fallen into a dead end, filled with despair and fear.

"Have you ever heard of the Court of Death?"

His original name was Li Changfeng, and his code name was Lifeng. Within the massive demonic sect of Death Court, he could only be considered a minor outer elder.

Although there are many people in the Death Court with the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm, being able to cultivate to this level would be considered a mid-level figure even in some mid-level sects.

If one were to join a small, unknown sect, one could even attain the high position of a Supreme Elder.

Not to mention that in some remote cultivation places, they would be able to establish their own sect and dominate the region.

But now, this elder, who had reached the Nascent Soul stage, was like an insignificant ant in front of this mysterious person.

He firmly believed that if this mysterious person in front of him simply moved a finger, he would instantly turn to ashes, leaving not even a trace.

He was unwilling to die like this, but he also knew that he had no right to negotiate with the other party.

At this moment, the only thing that could be used as a lifeline was the enormous tree standing behind him, this insignificant ant.

This is the advantage of having a powerful sect behind you. Even if you are mediocre or unknown, as long as you reveal your backing, it will have a deterrent effect.

Of course, this method doesn't work for everyone; at least for those reckless madmen, it's pure nonsense.

But Li Feng had no other choice but to try invoking the name of the Death Court.

"I am an elder of the Death Court. I do not know in what way I have offended you today."

Seeing that Shen Shuchou remained silent, and unable to discern the other's face hidden behind the mist, he had no choice but to speak again.

"You don't recognize me?"

Shen Shuchou said in a calm tone.

Upon hearing these words, Li Feng's body trembled slightly, and he scrutinized Shen Shuchou with piercing eyes.

However, no matter how hard he searched his mind, he could not find any trace of having met the person in front of him.

Could it be?

Which junior genius's elder has come knocking on our door?

Li Feng was suddenly startled, as if a raging wave had crashed against the shore.

Since joining the Death Court, the so-called number one demonic sect, he has killed countless junior geniuses, like stars in the sky.

Countless people also grit their teeth at him, wishing they could tear him to pieces.

However, after each time he killed a genius from a certain sect, he would immediately hide in the Death Court and never show his face again.

Even if those people harbored murderous intent towards him, they were powerless to stop him.

Could it be that this time, because of my greed for merit, I am really going to stumble and lose my life here?

But Li Feng reconsidered and realized that, judging from the other party's methods alone, the other party was definitely not a member of a righteous sect.

As for whether it might be other demonic cultivators coming to seek revenge?

The thought had barely surfaced in his mind when he quickly dismissed it, for he couldn’t recall ever killing any of the demonic sect’s genius disciples.

"Senior, you flatter me. How could someone as insignificant as an ant dare to have the honor of getting to know you?"

Li Feng lowered his body to a very low profile, his voice full of respect, displaying utmost humility.

Upon hearing that he didn't recognize him, Shen Shuchou had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

He thought that since this clone was the Hidden Lord, one of the four Dark Lords of the Death Court, everyone should know about him, so he deliberately disguised himself.

If that were the case, it would undoubtedly be extremely disadvantageous for him.

But at this moment, he truly lives up to his title of Hidden Lord, the Demon Lord hidden in the shadows.

This will greatly benefit his subsequent actions.

"Tell me, who in this world does not know my majesty? You dare to try and intimidate me with the Death Court? You are not qualified. Let Demon Heaven come in person!"

Shen Shuchou spoke with disdain and arrogance.

The sound was like a thunderclap, exploding in Li Feng's heart.

What terrified him most were the last few words of the sentence: "Mo Xiao's fame is renowned and unparalleled in the world; who does not know him?"

That was the supreme Celestial Venerable of the Death Court, a being who truly stood at the pinnacle of the heavens, looking down upon the world.

The fact that this mysterious person dared to challenge Mo Xiao so arrogantly shows his fearlessness and audacity.

At the same time, he also tried to search his mind for the few people who stood at the top, based on the first half of the other person's sentence.

Before he could even think it through, Shen Shuchou's chilling voice rang in his ears.

"Get lost! For Mo Xiao's sake, I'll spare your life this time."

Li Feng instantly suppressed his thoughts, his heart filled with overwhelming joy, and hurriedly said, "Thank you for sparing my life, senior."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the pressure around him suddenly disappear. Without any hesitation, he hurriedly sped away with all his might, disappearing completely into the horizon in just a few breaths.

Shen Shuchou turned to look in the direction he had left, the black mist around him slowly dissipated, revealing his true form, and then he also drifted away.

Upon learning that the other party had not recognized him, Shen Shuchou abandoned the idea of ​​killing him.

Even those words just now were deliberately spoken to him by Shen Shuchou. Based on the few memories his clone possessed, he knew that the code name Moxiao was the current Lord of the Death Court.

He wanted this elder to bring the news back to the Death Court and have him relay these words to the higher-ups.

His primary objective was to make the Death Court wary of his identity.

As for whether the person codenamed Moxiao would personally descend, Shen Shuchou had no such concerns at the moment.

This was because, in his clone's memories, he also knew that Mo Xiao had fallen into a special state ten years ago and was still in seclusion.

But Shen Shuchou was convinced that the Death Court would send someone to test him, and he was not afraid of it.

The strength of the Four Dark Lords is second only to the Sect Master, making them the second strongest fighting force in the Death Court. His clone, the Hidden Lord, is the most powerful among the Four Dark Lords.

Although he was only at the peak of the Mahayana realm, he was able to display a trace of the astonishing power of a half-step Emperor realm cultivator.

As long as Mo Xiao doesn't come out, Shen Shuchou can rest easy for now.

And then, with just the right opportunity, he can appear before Fifth Qinghan and teach her the way of cultivation.

Back at the gate of the Shen residence, Xia Lingyi was in a dazed and confused state. From the moment Shen Shuchou appeared, her consciousness and senses were completely sealed.

Shen Shuchou waved his hand lightly, and a thick black mist surged up, sweeping away all the flesh and limbs on the ground.

After cleaning up all traces, Shen Shuchou released a wisp of true energy to send Xia Lingyi back to her room and erased her memories of the night.

After doing all this, a consciousness slowly detached from the clone and flew into the east courtyard of the Shen residence.

At that moment, the clone completely transformed into a cloud of black mist and dissipated into the vast darkness of the night.
