Jackie Chan Adventures: I have everything I need now.

He remained calm, and with a wave of his hand, he tore apart the rocks that were being thrown at him.

The voice was cold as it said, "If it weren't for the six of you acting on your own, fighting eight against six, we might have been able to win if the Holy Lord and I had come!"

"In the end, it's all because you six are arrogant and look down on those eight humans!"

His sharp eyes scanned them.

Facing Zhou Lan's rebuttal, Basha's voice was hoarse with a hint of anger, "No matter what, we are in this situation, and no one can shirk responsibility!"

"The six of us share a responsibility, and so do you and the Holy Lord, Zhou Lan!"

Zhou Lan snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and stared at him with cold eyes, remaining silent.

Clearly, Zhou Lan does not agree with Basha's statement.

The two sides were once again deadlocked, and there were even thoughts of taking action to decide who was right and who was wrong.

At this moment, Ximu sensed that there was no trace of Shendu anywhere in the Demon Hell, and couldn't help but wonder, "Why didn't the Holy Lord fall into the Demon Hell? Did he defeat those eight humans?!"

For a moment, the scene fell silent.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Lan spoke softly, "The Holy Lord was sucked into the Gates of Hell at the same time as me, but he forcefully tore open the gates of Hell and returned to the world on earth."

Upon hearing this, they were utterly shocked.

Could it be that the Lord of Fire could defeat those eight humans?

Perhaps sensing their thoughts, Zhou Lan shook his head and said, "Holy Lord, he can't possibly defeat those eight humans. Any more than that, and he'll only be struggling in his death throes."

After saying that, I suddenly realized that what Zhou Lan said made some sense.

So, both sides stood tacitly in place, waiting for the gods to fall into the hell of demons.

Time slowly passed, and Bo Gang, growing impatient, asked doubtfully, "Could it be that the Holy Lord really defeated those eight humans?!"

As Bo Gang spoke, everyone felt that there was some truth to his words.

Even Zhou Lan fell into deep thought.

At that moment, whispers, unseen by anyone, suddenly came from beside Ximuer.

The familiar voice startled Ximu. Coming to his senses, he quickly clasped his hands together and responded to the voice, saying, "Yagamimoyagamiqiwa, Yagamimoyagamiqiwa!"

Ximu's actions attracted the attention of the demon lords present.

Xiaofeng asked, "Ximu, what's going on?!"

Ximu did not answer, but just kept chanting the incantation.

Just as Zhong Su interrupted Xi Mu's state of mind, Basha saw through the mystery and quickly stopped Zhong Su's actions.

"This is communication magic!"

After he finished speaking, they waited quietly for Ximu to finish casting the magic spell.

After a while, Ximu flapped his wings and unleashed a burst of demonic energy.

The demonic energy transformed into a giant bronze mirror.

The image reflected in the bronze mirror was that of the Lord of Fire, in his innate Dao body.

Seeing that the capital was unharmed, Zhou Lan finally lost her composure and hurriedly asked, "Holy Lord, you won?!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Du shook his head, "I didn't win, I lost!"

Looking at the environment where the Divine Capital was located, which was an endless deep sea, Basha said, "Holy Lord, you lost to those eight humans, but why weren't you sealed in the Demon Hell!"

"On the contrary, you're in my deep-sea territory. Did you run away?!"

Before Shen Du could even speak, the hot-tempered Zhong Su said, "Holy Lord, since you haven't been sealed away, then quickly think of a way to rescue us from this damned demon hell!"

"That's right, we feel very uncomfortable in this world!" In his anger, Di Kui slammed down with his fist, splitting the rock supporting him in two.

"Holy Lord, your magic is unparalleled, saving us shouldn't be too difficult, right?!" Basha asked in a deep voice.

God shook his head regretfully at their questions.

"I neither won nor escaped."

"It's only at the level of a demonic hell, not enough to seal me!"

"The eight men led by Lü Dongbin exhausted all their strength to seal me deep in the East Sea, restricting my movement to a distance of only three thousand meters."

As he spoke, God waved his hand helplessly, "So, my fellow countrymen, I can barely take care of myself, how can I save you?!"

Just then, a black and white orca nudged Shen Du's waist.

It wondered how this creature, which looked like a human, could get into the deep sea.

God nudged the orca, making it move aside.

He had little doubt about the appearance of orcas in the deepest part of the East China Sea.

After all, in the world of Jackie Chan Adventures, the world is filled with qi, which can nourish the bodies of living things. Some slightly larger fish can even swim to the depths.

Upon learning that even the gods themselves were in dire straits and unable to save them, the demon lords began to rage and wreak havoc on this dark and hopeless demon hell.

While the many demon lords vented their anger, Zhou Lan alone fell into calm.

He then spoke up, "Holy Lord, since you have taken the initiative to contact us, is there any way for us to escape from the Demon Hell, or for you to break free from the deep sea seal?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the demon lords, who were venting their anger, all gathered around.

Indeed.

Since the Holy Lord is in the world on earth, even if he is suppressed in the deep sea, he can quickly come up with a solution.

The demon lords muttered to themselves, hoping the gods would provide a suitable explanation.

Chapter 77 The Time When the Nine Stars Align, the Time When Black Qi Revives

The Demon Lord's gaze fell upon the God Capital, seeking his reply.

Upon hearing Zhou Lan's question, Shen Du, who was enduring seven gazes, remained calm and said softly, "The world today has suffered immeasurable costs because of the great war between us eight demon lords and the eight immortals of humanity!"

"Countless lives were lost in the aftermath of this great battle!"

"The righteous energy was thus severely damaged, and the dark energy also fell into slumber because our eight demon lords were sealed away."

"We only need to wait for the nine stars to align in the universe, and the dark energy will awaken!"

"Then, I can break the seal and reappear in this world!"

"but"

Before Shen Du could finish speaking, Zhou Lan hurriedly interrupted, her eyes filled with contemplation, and said, "We don't live in the same world as you. You live in the world above ground, while we live in the underground world!"

"You can break the seal, but we cannot!"

“That’s right, Holy Lord, we cannot break free from the seal of this world. What’s the use of saying all this?!” Ximu’s hoarse voice followed.

"We are sealed in this world where time flows by, and our magic and wisdom are being eroded every moment!"

“But you, living on land, are sealed at the bottom of the sea. Our situations are completely different!” Zhong Su said.

The four demon lords standing nearby—Mountain, Wind, Water, and Earth—all agreed with the first three's assessment.

"When the nine stars align, the dark energy is at its strongest. I can break the seal and reappear in the world."

"However, I can save you, but there are conditions. I wonder if my fellow countrymen will accept them?"

Shen Du spoke in a mysterious tone, seemingly absent-minded.

What he wants to do cannot be accomplished by himself alone.

Although separation is one of the world's rules, there are seven others.

They must help us to accomplish what God desires.

"Holy Lord, we are compatriots. To negotiate at this time is taking advantage of our vulnerability!" Basha said angrily.

“That’s right, we are compatriots, how can you make demands?!” Bo Gang was also enraged by Shen Du’s words. She had been trapped in the Demon Hell for so long that she was already starving and could only eat floating rocks.

It had no taste whatsoever; it was just plain, unremarkable rock—the worst food she had ever eaten.

As for the demons who were drawn into the demon hell long ago, they have long since been worn away over the ages.

Only the eight demons who were tormented by the curse set by their demon lord remained.

But he has already become mentally disabled.

God remained silent in the face of Bo Gang and Basha's reactions, simply watching quietly.

Just as the other demon lords were about to angrily denounce the capital, Zhou Lan spoke in a deep voice, "Alright, Holy Lord, whatever your conditions are, as long as they don't cross the line, I can agree to them!"

Upon hearing this, the other demon lords all cried out that Zhou Lan was unacceptable, but Zhou Lan dismissed them with just one sentence.

"The seven of us are trapped in the demonic hell, unable to escape, our divine power and wisdom being eroded. What conditions could be more severe than this!"

"When the nine stars align, the black energy will burst forth!"

"If the Holy Lord were in the same hell as us, setting up the Bagua Formation could send one of us out!"

"But right now, the Holy Lord is trapped outside, it's only a temporary seal. When the black energy bursts forth and the righteous energy fades, that's when the Holy Lord's seal weakens, and that's when the seal of the Demon Hell weakens too!"

"But you didn't consider that without the Bagua Formation, we can't escape from here on our own!"

“The Holy Lord is different; he is confident that he can escape from the seabed where those eight humans are trapping him!”

Fellow countrymen, think about this carefully!

After that, the room fell silent.

After a long pause, the six demon lords who had previously objected all agreed.

Seeing this, Shen Du smiled slightly and said calmly, "The condition is simple: I want the demonic energy that has been stripped from you!"

"When I break free from the seal, I will contact you and set a time."

"Use the power within you to activate the demonic energy that has been stripped from you!"

"At that time, I will be able to obtain this demonic energy, on this condition, how about it!"

After he finished speaking, they didn't know how to answer Shen Du.

This wisp of stripped demonic energy is their original demonic artifact, containing a trace of the Eight Trigrams authority.
