Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

The next moment, the Southern Ridge Insect King activated its divine power first, and tens of thousands of gray threads, like a net, enveloped the figures from top to bottom.

"call out!"

Jiang Mo remained unmoved. He witnessed this ancient demon king performing a great miracle of life science, yet he felt no pity whatsoever. His body shot straight into the sky like a streak of light, like a rocket burning at its zenith, leaving a dazzling trail of fire in the dim void.

The distance of several thousand meters was instantly shrunk infinitely. Jiang Mo's speed was so fast that time seemed to freeze. He crossed the inescapable net and killed his way to the body below the insect king's head.

"Boom!!!"

Facing the mountain-like flesh and blood, Jiang Mo gathered strength in his right arm, his true qi surged, and he slashed out with his sword. The sword light was like the twilight line that divides day and night, becoming the only color in the world, and easily penetrated the insect king's defense.

"Bang!!"

A cluster of blood mist exploded, and an endless storm of sword light wreaked havoc among the internal organs, causing the ancient demon king to scream in agony. Nearly a third of his enormous body was cleaved apart.

Before it could retaliate further, Jiang Mo unleashed another killing move. A huge halo appeared on his left hand, like a star ring surrounding the sun, with two completely different powers swirling around it. The Ancient Dao True Fire and the Blazing Light without Blaze both contracted to their limits and then expanded in an instant.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Countless tiny, continuous slashes were unleashed at the same moment, completely shredding the insect king's already mangled flesh and bones into rotten blood.

The faint, flickering soul teetered on the brink of collapse, melting away inch by inch under the blazing fire, frantically fleeing, splitting into hundreds of pieces, escaping to various places at the absolute limit of its lifespan.

"Pong!"

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Mo caused the sea of ​​fire to spread again, giving the opponent no chance to struggle, directly engulfing all the soul fragments and burning them to ashes.

"Wow——!"

The Crimson Blood Demon Armor went into a frenzied state, frantically devouring the blood energy left behind by the Insect King after its death. It quickly became saturated but showed no signs of stopping.

Even when it can no longer withstand the pressure and cracks appear, it still doesn't give up, succumbing to the feeding instinct of some creature.

In a short while, a quarter of the blood essence was devoured by it. Jiang Mo tacitly approved of this, casually opened the Heavenly Kingdom, and released it back.

Next, he activated his true technique to refine the surrounding blood energy, continuously condensing and purifying it into essence blood, which he then stored in a special container.

Even with the presence of demon generals and demon followers, the remaining billions of insect swarms could not withstand Jiang Mo's magic, and their bodies dissipated one after another like ashes.

Before even completing a full round, the Southern Ridge Insect King died by Jiang Mo's sword, its body turning into nourishment and its soul returning to nothingness.

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Mo finished refining and successfully obtained the second portion of the Demon King's essence blood. The amount was astonishing, comparable to a small reservoir. The insect swarm and nests perished one after another, and the place became a desolate ruin, with no more insect life fluctuations.

During this time, the two masters, Fei Xian and Yao Chi, entered the Insect King's nest and looted it. The cultivation resources they obtained were outrageously abundant, and they plundered them all before sharing them equally with Jiang Mo.

"Next, after removing the territory of the three sick cats, there are four fiefdoms left."

Fei Xian Yuyi clearly stated:

“Those old demon kings are very cunning. Once they are attacked, they will call for help immediately. That means there is a three-quarters chance that we will directly fight with the people of Samsara Palace and Divine Descent Sect in advance. Xuanzun, are you exhausted? Do you need to rest for a while?”

While analyzing the situation, the corpse inquired about Jiang Mo's condition.

In his view, defeating an ancient demon king in two moves must have involved some unknown means, and refining such a massive swarm of insects must have taken a toll, making it difficult for him to maintain his peak condition.

However, the answers that followed surprised the old man greatly.

"It's not a matter of exhaustion, we can continue our journey."

After Jiang Mo finished speaking, he used his true qi to create a map, which was presented to the two of them. Each of the demon king's fiefdoms was marked with a blue dot, while there were only nine dark red dots.

"The Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions, the Hengduan Mountains in the Central Plains, Dongting Lake, and the Wuyi Mountains along the coast..."

The Flying Immortal Master's gaze swept over them, reciting their locations. He pondered for a moment, then said:

"The Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions are remote, so the chances of being recruited are slim. The demon king there is a three-tailed silver moon wolf king..."

"We could go there next, but the fighting just now was quite loud. Some spies in the area, including scouts planted by humans or other forces, might notice the upheaval in Nanling. Should we start a war right away?"

"It'll be the same sooner or later. They'll have to make all the necessary preparations. If we go now, at most we'll just capture a demon king."

Jiang Mo smiled faintly and decided to go to Tianshan first. Then, a void portal appeared, leading to the frigid Western Regions. With almost no obstacles, the group arrived at the foot of Tianshan in an instant.

At the same moment, the supreme demon king, who lived deep in the mountains, sensed the danger and suddenly awoke. His figure disappeared from his cave and went directly to the foot of the mountain, but he was too late.

The demon king's form was an old man with a rugged face, wearing a sable fox fur coat. Just as it was about to intercept the enemy attack, it saw the entire sky sealed off by a crimson barrier, which was also accompanied by a terrifying repulsive force, preventing all living beings from approaching and breaking through. Its cave and territory were trapped inside the cage.

However, before it even had a chance to get angry, the next second, when it saw the true face of the mastermind behind the scenes, its expression changed drastically. Two of the strongest freaks among the human race had arrived!

The first is the Xuanzun of the Sanyi Sect, and the second is the Master of the Feixian Sect. Their appearances are known to everyone in the Nine Provinces and Mountains and Seas. The former is known for his coldness and majesty, with hair as white as frost, making him highly recognizable. The latter, on the other hand, is an old, decaying corpse, which, in a sense, makes him easier to recognize.

The other woman who accompanied them, though her identity was unknown, was no less powerful than it.

What exactly do they want to do?

The wolf king was in a terrible mood, but even so, it remained calm and, the moment the three noticed it, took the initiative to greet them:

"Fellow Daoists, you have come from afar. Are you a junior member of my clan or a demon general under my command? Have you offended me in any way?"

In recent years, the Wolf King has been paying close attention to any disturbances in the inland areas. Knowing the strength of the human race, he has repeatedly restricted the demons in his fiefdom, forbidding them from launching any offensives into the inland areas without his permission, simply because he fears being targeted for revenge.

Now, the things we fear most are the things that happen. The wolf king can only ask for the reason immediately. On the surface, he remains calm, but in reality, he is in a state of turmoil. A terrible thought comes to mind: he is worried that these humans have come to hunt him.

If that's the case, I'm doomed!

Under the watchful, uneasy gaze, Jiang Mo remained solemn and indifferent, coldly saying:

"It has nothing to do with their personal grudges."

"I recently heard that several demon kings intend to join forces with the masters of the Divine Descent Sect and the Samsara Palace to besiege me, so I have come here in person."

"?"

The wolf king showed a hint of surprise, but suppressed his inner turmoil and explained in a gentle tone:

“Fellow Daoist, this matter has nothing to do with me. It must be that some villain is fabricating rumors and trying to shift the blame.”

"Since the birth of our clan, we have been rooted in the Tianshan Mountains, where we have lived for generations. We have never attacked your territory without permission. How could we possibly collude with the two sects to frame you, fellow Daoist?"

Please make your own judgment.

"Then you'll have to make the effort to stay here for a while. Once I've settled my score with them, the barrier here will dissipate."

"..."

The wolf king, cunning and astute, would never allow himself to be in such a dangerous situation. Suddenly, an idea struck him to test the truth of the human's words. Feigning anger, he offered his services:

"It seems that the misunderstanding between Xuanzun and me was mostly caused by those gossipy people stirring things up, which almost led to us turning against each other."

"I have long admired the name of the Venerable Xuanzun, and today I see that it is indeed true. Since you want to cause trouble for the Divine Descent Sect, the Samsara Palace, and those demon kings involved, then this old man is willing to lend a helping hand."

"Oh?"

Jiang Mo feigned surprise, but in reality, he was too lazy to expose its little scheme; it simply wanted to see if he could leave.

What the wolf king didn't know was that whatever its intentions were, its words would be approved by them.

If it is one of the allied demon kings, it would be perfect if it could ask its allies for help after escaping its predicament, and then wipe them all out at once.

If it isn't, then it's an extra advantage, so why not use it?

The Wolf King noticed that the group was still deliberating and undecided, so he said in a deep voice again, "A king's word is his bond. These are my heartfelt words, and I hope you will all grant my request."

"This is no child's play. Do you know what you, an old man, are going to face?"

Jiang Mo countered with a question, not rushing to agree, but slowly releasing the hook.

"I have some knowledge of the people behind the scenes and the potential adversaries."

The wolf king cupped his hands in discussion, his expression solemn and dignified.

"Then let me make it clear to you, your demon race has at least three ancient demon kings participating in the war, that's a certainty."

"There are also two Masters from the Divine Descent Sect, one or two Masters from the Samsara Palace, and an unknown number of Masters serving as reinforcements, roughly three or four in total."

"In such a fierce battle, you might not even be qualified to be cannon fodder. I'm giving you one last chance. You still have the right to remain in your fiefdom and not participate in this event."

Jiang Mo's tone was casual, without a trace of anxiety. The Wolf King, upon hearing that nearly ten top experts from both the human and demon races were besieging him, had never witnessed such a world-shaking battle, even though he had lived for over fourteen hundred years.

In that instant, its mind was in a state of confusion. Had those demon kings who participated in the battle colluded with humans? Was Xuanzun bluffing it? Should it use any means necessary, regardless of the cost, to escape the danger first?

Various thoughts occupied his mind, making it difficult to make a decision in a short period of time.

It was thinking that if what Xuanzun said was true, then their purpose in coming here was nothing more than to find it, either to use it or to kill it.

However, the three of them are definitely capable of killing it, and there is no need for them to indicate that it can be released. In this light, it is more likely that something has really happened outside, and the Demon King and the secret realm sects have joined forces.

Given this situation, the Wolf King felt a chill run down its spine. It knew that those old demon kings were all ruthless and vicious, never acting without self-interest; they must have some kind of collusion, perhaps with the secret realm in the hands of the Mystic Venerable...

The difference between demon kings of similar strength, with or without the support of secret realms, is like heaven and earth. One side has limited blood energy, while the other has almost unlimited blood energy. Once the two sides start fighting, the outcome is determined from the very beginning.

If the three ancient demon kings of unknown identity and the human powerhouse successfully kill the three people in front of them, it won't be long before it will be its turn to eliminate the remaining obstacles and unify the demon race, at which time its situation will be even more dangerous.

The wolf king's face remained calm, but its mind was in turmoil. It wasn't naive enough to think that because it was a member of the demon race, other ancient demon kings wouldn't attack it. It was either to submit and hand over its life to the other party, or to become a pile of bones and perish in the Yellow Springs.

Now, several paths lie before it:

1. If it remains in its fiefdom and Xuanzun doesn't kill it, there are two possible outcomes: Xuanzun wins, keeps its promise, and opens the barrier. However, there's also the possibility that it won't open, and it and its clan become easy prey, imprisoned in Tianshan with an uncertain future. Alternatively, Xuanzun might lose, and a certain death battle awaits it, with other ancient demon kings coming to its door. Regardless of the outcome, it remains in a passive position from beginning to end.

2. It is true to its word and follows Xuanzun into battle. It faces the greatest risk and the highest probability of death, but if it wins... it may not be without a rich reward. At least it will have the opportunity to annex the territories of the three ancient demon kings. This choice will free it from a passive situation.

3. Play along and adapt to the situation on the battlefield. Choose the right strategy. Even if the Xuanzun is defeated, it can escape in advance, abandon its fiefdom, find a remote place to hide, and save its life. It also has the initiative to choose.

After sorting out his thoughts, the wolf king had no intention of sitting idly by and waiting to die. Only by going out could he fight for a chance to survive.

It stated firmly:

"I have thought it through. Although the road ahead is difficult, I am willing to leave this place and join forces with Xuanzun to find the person behind it all and kill him. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles and no peace in the future."

The wolf king's weathered eyes were piercing and resolute, yet also held a sliver of hope. It wasn't that it hadn't sent people to investigate Xuanzun's background.

From the moment of its birth, it swept aside all its enemies without ever suffering a defeat. It even forcefully killed eight Masters and was recognized as the number one Master. Wolf King once suspected that the soul hidden beneath this body was an even more ancient human monster.

In addition, with a peerless powerhouse like the Flying Immortal Master who fought and defeated three ancient demon kings, surely he can't afford to fail like this, right?

At least, there's a chance to win, isn't there?

Even if things get really bad, with two big guys holding it off, it still has a chance to escape. After all, it's going to be dealt with sooner or later anyway, so it's better to take the initiative than wait to die.

“Okay, go if you want to.” Jiang Mo did not stop him.

"I humbly request that Venerable Master grant me a few minutes to go and greet the younger generation of the clan."

Before the wolf king decided to descend the mountain, he made as many arrangements as possible, including the successor to his fiefdom, so that if something happened to him while he was away, his people trapped in the mountains would not know what had happened.

"Go."

Jiang Mo gave a soft command and watched the old man's figure disappear into the snow-covered mountains.

"Mysterious Venerable, what do you think of it?" Flying Immortal Imperial Guard's intention was pointed.

"..."

After thinking for a few seconds, Jiang Mo replied, "It shouldn't be it. Of course, this is just my intuition and may not be correct."

The Eye of Truth cannot read the thoughts of beings at this level, so he can only give a rough answer.

"However, I believe it will make the choice that best serves its interests."

The Jade Pool Master, standing to the side, smiled slightly:

"For it, leaving this place is probably the most important thing. At the same time, due to the threat of other ancient demon kings, it has to temporarily join our side."

"Hopefully, anyway, whether there's one more demon king or one less demon king, it won't make much difference."

Jiang Mo's attitude towards the Wolf King was quite casual.

He wasn't even worried about it turning against him. With absolute power, all strategies were just laughable attempts to teach an expert. He could kill any Master or Ancient Demon King in the human world if he wanted to, and no one could stop him.

Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and a streak of snow-white light descended from the sky—it was the Wolf King, who had returned.

It was fully armed, carrying several important weapons from its fiefdom, its eyes as sharp as a sword that had been sealed for hundreds of years but had not decayed, ready for a bloody battle and a flight.

“Mystic Venerable, I am ready and may depart immediately.”

The wolf king declared that everything was ready, his voice low and undisguised, revealing an ambitious greed that outweighed even his fear of death. He was confident that if the chaotic battle turned out badly, no one could stop him from leaving.

"Ah."

Jiang Mo glanced at it briefly, said nothing more, raised his hand to cast a spell, and a void portal opened again, pointing directly to the Hengduan Mountains in the Central Plains. He stepped in and instantly crossed the two places.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"
