High Antiquity Devil Ape, Sha Qi Filling the Air

The gatekeeper of the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor led the way.

Chen Ning and Su Ling'er entered a hall.

"Sect Leader Chen, please wait a moment. I will go and inform the Lord of the Manor."

After the guide finished speaking, he stepped out of the hall.

It didn't take long.

Then a middle-aged figure stepped in.

This person had a pair of eagle-like eyes, which looked sharp and menacing.

"Sect Leader Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Ling Xiaoyun burst into laughter.

Chen Ning also spoke up, "You must be the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor?"

"Indeed, Sect Leader Chen has risen to prominence in Spirit Province, and recently he has become the most famous figure in the Nine Provinces!"

"It's just about seeking justice for the people of Spirit Province."

Chen Ning spoke truthfully.

Ling Xiaoyun exclaimed in admiration, "Sect Leader Chen truly cares for the common people and possesses the aura of a super leader. I was right about him!"

"Lord, I still don't know why you summoned me here?" Chen Ning asked bluntly.

"Haha, Sect Leader Chen is a smart man. Let's not beat around the bush. My Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor values the Dragon-Seeking Sect highly, and we value you even more, Sect Leader Chen. Do you have any intention of coming to the Central Province Plains?"

"Central Province is the most important of the Nine Provinces, so naturally it is the place most longed for by cultivators, and my Dragon-Seeking Sect is no exception."

"Very well! Since Sect Leader Chen also shares this intention, he should understand that to establish a foothold in Central Province, one must have a powerful backer. My Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor is willing to be your backer, Sect Leader Chen. Of course, the Dragon-Seeking Sect must also be completely subservient to us."

In just a few days, two people have already said they've taken a liking to me.

As expected, people fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat.

Chen Ning could only politely decline, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord, but I have no intention of siding with any other power."

"Sect Leader Chen, you should think this through. Central Province is no ordinary place. My Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor has its eye on you, but other forces might want to eliminate you... After all, if you take control of Central Province, you'll be touching upon their interests."

The Heavenly Demon Manor Lord spoke in a deep voice.

What he said was true.

Not all factions will allow the Dragon-Seeking Sect to grow unchecked.

If it were only in Spirit Province, it would be fine.

Stepping into Central Province would undoubtedly mean stepping into someone else's territory.

Furthermore, the Dragon-Seeking Sect possesses the power to annihilate the True Martial Saint Sect.

Such a powerful force, if truly given sufficient resources...

Let it grow.

This might disrupt the balance of power in Central Province.

This will cause resentment among some long-established giants.

They can accept the existing order, but they absolutely do not want to see someone rise up and break it.

Chen Ning still smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Lord, but the Dragon-Seeking Sect truly has no intention of attaching itself to any power."

Once they become attached to the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor, they will inevitably be controlled.

That would mean losing sovereignty.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

How can one gain the protection of the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor without giving something in return?

"How ungrateful you are!"

At the entrance.

A man who bore a striking resemblance to Ling Xiaoyun stepped into the hall.

"My father spoke kindly to you, but do you really think you're some kind of real dragon Dragon-Seeking Sect?"

Ling Yang's face was full of sarcasm.

The little girl, her eyebrows raised in anger, retorted, "Sect Leader Brother has already refused. Does the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor intend to force us to comply?"

"The Dragon-Seeking Sect is merely ranked seventeenth, so what if it's forced?"

Ling Yang sneered.

"Yang'er, don't be rude."

Ling Xiaoyun pretended to reprimand him.

"Father, where did I go wrong? They merely destroyed the True Martial Saint Sect, yet they are so arrogant, daring to disregard my Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor..."

"Little did they know, the likes of the True Martial Saint Sect could be wiped out by the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor with a flick of its wrist. Does the Dragon-Seeking Sect also intend to bring about its own destruction?"

In conclusion...

Ling Yang's tone gradually became sharp.

"Alright... Sect Leader Chen is a guest; such disrespect is inappropriate."

Ling Xiaoyun waved his hand to shut him up.

Then he slowly spoke, "Sect Leader Chen, although my son has spoken somewhat carelessly, it is still the truth. The True Martial Saint Sect Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor. Furthermore, if we cannot become friends, then we will only be enemies of the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor. Sect Leader Chen, you may want to reconsider this carefully."

Upon hearing this statement...

This can be considered an ultimatum.

Chen Ning, without hesitation, replied, "I need not consider this further. Besides, Lord, you have done an excellent job raising your son; I admire you!"

After saying that.

He then took Su Ling'er and walked outside.

But then...

A terrifying aura of Sha Qi rose within the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor.

"Lord! Something's wrong! The demonic ape... the demonic ape has gone berserk!"

A figure swept in from afar, hurriedly reporting.

"What?!"

Ling Xiaoyun frowned.

They immediately went outside.

Now.

The sky above the entire Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor was dyed black.

That terrifying, Sha Qi swept and swirled wildly.

"Roar..."

"Waaah..."

Inside the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor, all the demons wailed in agony.

It has clearly been affected by the Sha Qi.

"Damn it! This demonic ape's Sha Qi has grown stronger again. Yang'er, quickly go and fetch the Five Manor-Suppressing Elders to suppress this demonic ape immediately."

"I'll go right away."

Ling Yang was well aware of the demonic ape's power.

Not a moment's delay.

At this point, only by having the Five Elders activate the formation can the situation be suppressed.

The Five Manor-Suppressing Elders five supreme masters within the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor.

They were all people from the Heaven Martial Realm.

In the past, when the demonic ape went berserk, the five elders would join forces to suppress it.

Ling Yang went to invite the Five Elders.

But Ling Xiaoyun's eyes narrowed.

But he sensed something was seriously wrong.

This High Antiquity demonic ape, its age and origin unknown, possesses the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.

The rise of the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor was also thanks to the Demonic Ape.

The first master of the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor discovered that the demonic ape was chained to this place by a white jade chain.

They soon discovered that they could use the blood of the demon ape.

To refine the secret technique.

Furthermore, they can use the power of the demonic ape bloodline to control demonic creatures and spirit beasts.

Spirit beasts can also be promoted through the influence of the Demon Ape's blood.

This discovery immediately propelled the first-generation Lord of the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor Mansion to become a powerful figure in the world.

Later, the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor was established.

The mansion was naturally built in the place where the demonic ape was imprisoned, and it was developed over several years.

This made the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor Mansion a super power in the Nine Provinces.

From then on.

The Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor became a giant.

The essence cultivated by the people within the manor all originates from the blood of that High Antiquity demonic ape.

Only...

Although the demonic ape was bound by the mysterious white jade chains, it would go berserk every now and then.

A surging Sha Qi swept through.

Even those from the Heaven Martial Realm would find it difficult to withstand.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor found a solution.

The Sha Qi can be suppressed by having the people of the Heaven Martial Realm work together to form an array.

Each suppression plunges the demonic ape into silence.

But this time... it seems faster.

Ling Xiaoyun's face darkened.

Only a few years have passed since the last suppression of the demonic ape, and it has already gone berserk once again.

And.

This commotion was exceptionally large.

Chen Ning stood in the mansion, holding the little girl's hand.

He wasn't in a hurry to leave; he could sense that his Demon God's Eye were faintly sensing something.

It seems to be related to this Sha Qi.

In addition, you can witness the chaos in the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor and enjoy the spectacle.

Why not?
