Start slaying demons from the proficiency panel.

And this place is precisely where the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord sensed the presence of his daughter.

Not long after the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord left, a series of furious roars suddenly echoed inside the Tianjue Kingdom's imperial palace.

"What's going on?! What is this red dragon doing? Didn't I say we can't go out?"

"Judging from his attitude, he's heading to that big merchant's territory again. Is this guy looking for death?"

"Second brother, go and see what's going on. If necessary, we can forcibly capture the Crimson Dragon. We absolutely cannot afford to lose the Dragon Elephant King at this time."

"Yes!"

A white light then flew out from the capital of the Heavenly Extinction Kingdom, chasing after the direction in which the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord had left.

……

The existence of the Dragon Elephant Upper Realm is similar to the nuclear bomb that Ning Xiu knew; it cannot be used lightly and serves as a deterrent.

Furthermore, the actions of those at the Dragon-Elephant Upper Realm will be clearly displayed to other Dragon-Elephant Upper Realm individuals based on their Destiny Star, and their every move will be under surveillance.

The moment the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord's destiny star moved, Ning Xiu noticed this. Seeing that the opponent's destiny star was still heading towards Stone City, Ning Xiu's heart stirred, and he immediately went up to the city wall.

"What was bound to happen has finally happened. Has the Tianjue Kingdom finally decided to start a war?" Ning Xiu stood on the city wall, watching the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord's destiny star move towards them.

Compared to two months ago, Ning Xiu appeared much more composed and confident this time.

Having awakened his Saintly Form and gained a host of new supernatural powers, Ning Xiu's strength is now several times greater than it was two months ago. Even if he were to face the Three Demon Lords again, he would be even more at ease than before.

Soon, a crimson figure appeared in the sky; it was none other than the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord.

Eager to see his daughter, he rushed straight to Shicheng, no longer caring what Ning Xiu would think of his sudden visit.

He just wanted to confirm the origin of that aura and whether it was his daughter.

Upon seeing the familiar Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord, Ning Xiu soared into the air, intercepting him and preventing him from getting close to Stone City.

This demon dragon-elephant king is still too threatening. Even if Ning Xiu is confident that he can suppress the opponent, there are still some things that should be avoided.

“Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord, what brings you to my Protectorate? Do you want to fight me again?” Ning Xiu said, looking at the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord.

"Go away!"

The Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord looked anxious, his face practically screaming with worry.

“I’m here to find a junior, it has nothing to do with you, and I have no intention of attacking you. If you don’t want war, let me into the city to search for him. I, Chi Jiao, will remember your kindness today.”

Seeing that this demon lord had come to his territory and was still so arrogant, Ning Xiu naturally wouldn't let him get what he wanted.

He immediately made his move, and as soon as he moved, a giant cloud hand descended from the sky, intending to slam the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord to the ground.

In terms of immortality, although Ning Xiu was only a second-grade cultivator, his Dragon Elephant Upper Realm strength allowed him to unleash a simple technique with extraordinary power.

"Roar!" The Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord was furious and twisted his dragon body, ready to fight Ning Xiu.

No matter what, even if it means death, he must find out whether that aura is actually inside Stone City.

Did those guys from the Demon Extermination Bureau kidnap their own daughter and imprison her here?

Boom! The dragon's body collided with the giant hand, and the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord's expression changed drastically.

Ning Xiu is clearly much stronger than last time. What's going on with him? How could he have made such tremendous progress in just two months?

Chapter 165 [165] The Origin of the Black Demon Ancestor

boom!

The Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord crashed to the ground, creating a huge crater.

The earth trembled as a result. Ning Xiu reached out and squeezed, and the ground began to twist and pile up, enveloping the body of the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord and forming a huge earthen ball.

It took flight and hovered in the air.

Such a magnificent sight is rarely seen under normal circumstances. Even though martial arts practitioners possess strength comparable to dragons and elephants, they cannot achieve this level of skill.

Only by communicating with heaven and earth and nature through the path of immortality can one mobilize the power of heaven and earth.

The earthen ball trembled continuously inside, and cracks appeared on its surface. The Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord, trapped inside, was not to be outdone and broke out of the earth with the body of a flood dragon.

Roar!

A massive dragon's head emerged from the earthen sphere, its bloodshot eyes fixed on Ning Xiu, roaring repeatedly as flames erupted, staining the sky crimson.

Ning Xiu used clouds to block out the flames, preventing even a wisp of fire from reaching the ground. The Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord must have gone mad, resorting to such a lame excuse.

If you want to enter your own Protectorate just by finding a junior, then if you want to find a wife, you'd have to go through the Stone Gate to Qingque Prefecture.

This is outrageous!

Ning Xiu didn't believe a word the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord said, taking it all as an attempt to cause trouble and destroy Stone City.

A human and a demon clashed in the air. Both were at the Dragon-Elephant Upper Realm, so the battle was quite powerful, reaching the heavens and the earth.

The Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord was determined to break into Stone City, but Ning Xiu wouldn't let him get any closer. After a long and fruitless attack, the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord felt extremely anxious.

Feeling that Ning Xiu had kidnapped his daughter and was torturing her in secret, the old father became even more furious.

"Human! Are you imprisoning my people here?! Name your price, and I'll give anything to pay for it!"

Ning Xiu was somewhat surprised to hear the roar of the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord.

How did this guy know there was a dragon in his Protectorate? Could it be that people of the same kind have the ability to sense each other?

If Long Ning is a descendant of the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord, then this relationship is worth pondering.

What kind of junior would be worth the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord's forceful intrusion, despite Ning Xiu's presence? If it were merely a member of the same clan, it would absolutely not be worth such a fuss.

Ning Xiu had a vague idea in his mind: if that were the case, then this Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord would be under his control.

"I do have a dragon here, but it's not imprisoned by me. Instead, I've officially invited it to join the Demon Subduing Division. What is your relationship with it?" Ning Xiu said calmly.

"Impossible! How could your Demon Subduing Division possibly appoint demons as Demon Subduing Officers? If you have any problems, come at me, don't hurt her," the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord said urgently.

"What a joke! Demons also have good and evil. The enlightenment of the Demon Subduing Division is beyond the comprehension of you demons. As long as you sincerely do good, you can become a Demon Subduing Captain of the Great Shang Dynasty, regardless of whether you are human or demon."

"Let me see her," the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord said in a dejected tone, his imposing manner completely gone.

He was not a native demon of Tianjue Kingdom, but a person who had fled from the territory of the Great Shang Dynasty. Over the years, due to his strength, he was appointed as one of the three demon lords in Tianjue Kingdom. However, what he cared about most in his heart was not Tianjue Kingdom, but his daughter who had been lost and had no news of him.

Now that he has the opportunity to confirm whether that aura is indeed his daughter, the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord is willing to give up everything except his own life. The various matters of the Heavenly Extinction Kingdom are of no importance to him.

“No, you are a great demon of the Heavenly Extinction Kingdom, and I am a Demon-Subduing Officer of the Great Shang Dynasty. There is no possibility of a deal between us. We can only be mortal enemies, including any other Demon-Subduing Officer. Everyone sees you as a mortal enemy,” Ning Xiu said calmly.

Before the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord could say anything more, a beam of white light streaked across the horizon, carrying with it a sky full of clouds.

It formed a huge elephant head, which could be clearly seen in the sky.

"The Elephant Master! Why did he come in person?" Seeing the illusion, the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord was shocked. He hadn't expected that his actions would bring the Elephant Master, one of the two masters of the Heavenly Extinction Kingdom, with him.

This elephant master has been in the Dragon Elephant Upper Realm for many years, and his strength is so profound that even the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord admits that he is no match for him. If he has any conflict with Ning Xiu and can hold Ning Xiu back, wouldn't I be able to enter Stone City to find my daughter's whereabouts?

The Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord was overjoyed. He didn't care what Ning Xiu said about his daughter becoming the Demon Subduer. As long as he found his daughter and took her away, he could ensure that she could settle down in the Heavenly Extinction Kingdom by virtue of their father-daughter reunion.

When the father and daughter are reunited, it will fulfill the long-held regret of the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord.

"Red Flood Dragon, you disobeyed orders and acted without authorization. Do you know how serious your mistake is?" The elephant-headed creature roared, rebuking the Red Flood Dragon Demon Lord.

Faced with the accusations from the Elephant Master, the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord showed no resentment whatsoever. Instead, he appeared extremely obedient and began to think about how to incite the Elephant Master and Ning Xiu to fight so that he could take advantage of the chaos.

Another Dragon-Elephant Realm expert from the Heavenly Extinction Kingdom has arrived, and his aura is clearly superior to that of the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord.

"It seems that two months of peace are about to be ruined today," Ning Xiu thought to himself.

Now, he is not afraid of fighting two opponents at once, and he can even use the Holy Image to forcibly control one of the Dragon Elephant Realm experts and create a one-on-one situation.

“Human race, today Tianjue Kingdom does not wish to go to war with Da Shang. Chi Jiao’s actions were his own and not the intention of Tianjue Kingdom. If there are no problems, I will take him back first.”

The elephant master spoke in a low voice, and then a tremendous force covered the Crimson Dragon Demon Lord, intending to take him away.

This was a situation that neither the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord nor Ning Xiu had anticipated.

What's going on? When did the Dragon Elephant Realm experts of Tianjue Kingdom become so easy to talk to? They've reached this point, and they're not even going to fight?

The Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord panicked. If the Elephant Master took her back, how would he ever find his daughter? He absolutely couldn't let that happen.

“Master Xiang, our Tianjue Kingdom is not weak. Why should we fear the mere Shang? Besides, this is Yaotuo Prefecture, not Shang territory. Why should we compromise like this? In my opinion, let's fight him to the death today and vent our pent-up anger!”

With a loud shout, the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord broke free from the Elephant Master's restraints and charged at Ning Xiu with all his might in his dragon form. This attack was all-out, leaving no room for mercy.

The elephant handler was completely dumbfounded when he saw this.

Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord, are you out of your mind? You're a dragon, not a mad dog. Why are you inexplicably fighting with others?

Once Tianjue Kingdom officially goes to war with Dashang, the other demon clans around Yaotuo Prefecture will benefit, with the Zilong Clan being the ones who will be overjoyed.

Unfortunately, the elephant master was powerless to stop it at this point. The Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord unleashed his full power, and Ning Xiu also stepped forward to meet him.

In an instant, the world changed dramatically. A huge human figure materialized in the clouds above Ning Xiu's head and punched down, striking the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord's true form.

The Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord's body trembled slightly, and its dragon scales burst open, sending up a shower of dragon blood that fell like blood rain.

However, his all-out attack was no simple matter. Although Ning Xiu injured the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord, the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord still collided with Ning Xiu's main body.

The immense power of the dragon's body sent Ning Xiu staggering back dozens of feet. This attack marked the beginning of the battle.

"Red Dragon!" The elephant master was greatly shocked. This guy wasn't usually this crazy. What's wrong with him today?

Ning Xiu's expression darkened. Although he had more than enough general proficiency points, he didn't mind adding another 300,000, and he could even try to get some breakthrough points this time.

……

With the three destiny stars now close together, anyone skilled in astrology or at the Dragon-Elephant realm can see that Ning Xiu is fighting against a powerful figure from the Heavenly Extinction Kingdom.

Within Zixiao Prefecture.

A star official stood atop a tall building, watching the direction of Yaotuo Prefecture with an air of schadenfreude.

"After so much peace, these two sides have finally made their move. Today is going to be a good show." From the bottom of the stairs not far away, a star official walked up, his eyes extremely confused, like a puppet.

The star-gazing official, oblivious to the danger, urged, "A fight is about to break out! Come and see!"

The star official reached out and patted the star official's back, and a black worm burrowed directly into the star official's body.

"In recent days, we have controlled 70% of the people and experts in Zixiao Prefecture. The only ones we can't touch are those old guys in the Dragon Elephant Upper Realm. I believe it won't be long before Zixiao Prefecture is ours."

"Your idea is better. The Great Shang has been wary of us for a long time. Over the years, they have conducted various health checks on the people in their territory to prevent infiltration. We simply cannot do that. And Zixiao Prefecture has been far away from the Great Shang for many years and is completely unaware of us. It is a breeding ground for parasites. This Zilong Clan thought that by opening the teleportation array, they would be the ones to benefit in the end. Little did they know that everything was just a favor to us."
