No Turning Back, Open Hostilities!

"Gentlemen."

Heavenly Venerable Zhu looked at everyone and said, "Chen Ning was kidnapped by the Eight-Armed Devil, but he has escaped unscathed without a trace, and he hasn't even revealed the demon's whereabouts. This is truly suspicious. In addition, this boy has previously displayed remarkable demonic abilities. I suspect that he has colluded with the Eight-Armed Demon Venerable and is plotting something."

Upon hearing this...

Everyone frowned slightly.

"Whether you killed me for personal gain or for your so-called righteous cause, you know best in your heart. Why bother with such high-sounding rhetoric?"

Chen Ning didn't bother to speak.

Heavenly Venerable Zhu's expression remained completely unchanged.

At this moment.

A Saint Emperor- level expert from the Death God Clan echoed:

"Indeed suspicious! Everyone knows the strength of the Eight-Armed Demon Venerable; he can easily kill even a Late Saint Emperor. Although Chen Ning is strong, he could never possibly be a match for that demon. There must be something fishy going on!"

A Saint Emperor- level expert from the Moon God Clan shook his head and said, "Even if there are suspicious points, it seems inappropriate for you, Heavenly Venerable Zhu, to take action here on your own. It should be left to the patriarchs of the various God Clan clans to make a judgment."

The chieftain of the Moon God Clan once had a budding romance with Emperor Yu.

Later, due to the plan of Emperor Yu and the Grand One Clan Leader, Emperor Yu sacrificed his personal love and became a pawn to pave a path for the Grand One God Clan.

But no matter what...

The Moon God Clan will take care of Chen Ning.

Moreover...

The actions of Heavenly Venerable Zhu were also quite strange.

Several people agreed with the words of the powerful member of the Moon God Clan.

They spoke one after the other.

"Yes, even if we take a step back and assume that Chen Ning was truly bewitched by that evil spirit, the judgment should be left to the patriarchs of the various God Clan."

"With the Heavenly Venerable Zhu here, are you really afraid he'll escape?"

"He's already injured and unable to fight anymore. Perhaps a few of us should escort him away from the Darkness Ancient Road. He might indeed be plotting against us. I suggest we send him directly to the Kunlun God Clan; that would be the fairest course of action."

The Kunlun God Clan is the leader of the Eight Great God Clans.

Sending Chen Ning there would ensure everything goes smoothly.

Otherwise, some might worry that the Light God Clan Leader would protect Chen Ning.

Only.

If it were really sent, how would Heavenly Venerable Zhu explain his attack on Chen Ning?

The clan chief will never forgive him.

Chen Ning's current identity is too special; taking action against him has already crossed the clan leader's bottom line.

But now.

There's no going back.

Heavenly Venerable Zhu's expression changed, and he finally sighed. He activated the Boundless Divine Bottle in his hand, and the Sea of Death surged out, surrounding everyone.

This forms a circular water curtain.

It blocked everyone's escape route.

"Heavenly Venerable Zhu, what do you mean by this?"

The Saint Emperor of the Death God Clan frowned and asked.

"It's so obvious, can't you see it?"

The Moon God Clan's Saint Emperor said, "The Heavenly Venerable Zhu does not want Chen Ning to leave the Darkness Ancient Road alive, and the rest of us will also perish with him."

One sentence enlightened everyone.

There were five Saint Emperor level experts who arrived at the scene, the strongest of whom was the female Saint Emperor of the Moon God Clan, who was at the Late Saint Emperor realm.

The rest of the people were all at the Mid Saint Emperor realm.

Normally...

Even if they are no match for Heavenly Venerable Zhu, they still have a chance to escape.

But now.

Their retreat was blocked by the curtain of water.

They were almost certainly going to die.

The central area enclosed by the water curtain resembled a fighting ring.

And among them.

The strongest is Heavenly Venerable Zhu; as for the other Saint Emperor level experts, they are just lambs to the slaughter.

"Gentlemen, you've really had bad luck..."

Heavenly Venerable Zhu was much more composed now. He looked around at everyone and said, "If you hadn't arrived here so quickly, I could have killed Chen Ning and pinned the blame on the Eight-Armed Devil, and everything would have been fine. But you... just happened to run into me! Since that's the case, I have no choice but to send you all on your way..."

"Heavenly Venerable Zhu!"

The powerful member of the Death God Clan frowned and said loudly, "We are all members of various God Clan present. You had better consider the consequences carefully. If there is even the slightest mishap, and the news leaks out, leaving evidence, you will die without a burial place!"

"If you take Chen Ning away, I won't be able to explain why I attacked him either. Why not take a gamble?"

Since things had already turned ugly, Heavenly Venerable Zhu seemed much more relaxed. He laughed and said, "After I kill all of you, I can simply pin the blame on that Eight-Armed Devil, and everything will fall into place."

Why did you kill Chen Ning?

The female Holy Queen of the Moon God Clan asked in confusion, "We are going to die anyway, you might as well let us die clearly."

"Stop trying to stall for time, it's useless..."

After saying this, Heavenly Venerable Zhu struck out with his palm.

The surging palm force roared away.

Death Spirit Flame!

"Emperor-Slaying Saber Technique!"

"Moon's Protection!"

Everyone's eyes flashed, and they all made their moves. They were facing a Saint Venerable expert, and they had to fight desperately to have even the slightest chance of winning!

Boom!

The void shattered, and primordial energy surged.

The entire world was filled with violent energy fluctuations.

Two of the five Saint Emperor experts Blood Explosion retreat. Even the female Saint Emperor of the Moon God Clan was somewhat unsteady on her feet.

The opponent is still too strong.

"I've already told you he's a hypocrite."

At this moment.

A laugh rang out.

Everyone couldn't help but turn around to look.

Even Heavenly Venerable Zhu's gaze sharpened.

The one who spoke was Chen Ning.

Heavenly Venerable Zhu just now severely injured Chen Ning with a single palm strike.

It made him unable to even stand up.

But at this moment, demonic energy was repairing the injured body of the opponent!

In just a few breaths.

It will be completely restored to its original state!
