Upon seeing this person, Ling Xiao's gaze shifted slightly, and his pupils showed a noticeable change.
The "demon talent" mentioned by the Lord of the True Demon Palace was actually the Lord of Myriad Demons.
He'd recognize this guy even if he were ashes.
"I am Wanmo, and I greet you all, seniors." The Lord of Myriad Demons respectfully cupped his hands and addressed the demon gods.
He even smiled and nodded at Ling Xiao, showing great politeness.
Clearly, he did not recognize Ling Xiao.
"From now on, Wanmo will be the twenty-sixth divine general of my True Demon Palace."
The Lord of the True Demon Palace immediately announced that he recognized the identity of the Lord of Myriad Demons.
After getting to know each other, Ling Xiao, led by his attendants, arrived at his Divine Hall.
"My lord, please tell me if you need anything, and I will do my best to fulfill it."
The attendant was a disciple of the Primordial Taiji. If he were outside, he would be considered a hero, but here he appeared extremely humble.
He felt it necessary to curry favor with this newly promoted general who was on whom high hopes were placed, in order to pave the way for his own future.
"Hmm... I'm not very familiar with this place yet, so could you please show me around?"
Ling Xiao was about to refuse, but then he thought that he had come here to save the Snow Heaven Clan, and he still didn't know where they were being held.
It would be good to have someone show him around; perhaps he'll discover something.
"It's nothing, sir. Please come with me."
The attendant responded respectfully.
Immediately, the two left the Divine Hall one after the other and began to explore the territory of the True Demon Palace.
At this moment, within the main hall of the True Demon Palace, two pairs of eyes were secretly watching Ling Xiao's every move.
These two were none other than the Lord of the True Demon Palace and the number one ranked Divine General.
The two men, one standing respectfully and the other sitting casually, displayed their different statuses.
"Dark Night, what do you think of this boy?"
The True Demon Palace withdrew his gaze, asked with a smile, his face revealing no particular expression.
Dark Night was the name of the First Divine General.
"Your Excellency, I find this young man rather strange. As a member of the Devil Dao path, he actually refused the invitation from the Primal Demon Sect and instead came to my True Demon Palace. This is truly puzzling."
The Night Demon God answered truthfully, revealing his thoughts.
"Hmm..." The middle-aged man who was the palace master nodded gently and said, "Your analysis is correct. I also think there is a problem."
"However, the demonic nature within this child is indeed pure; there is no doubt about that."
"My lord, since that's the case, why don't you devour him? Wouldn't that give you a chance to return to the Primal Demon Sect and vie for the Supreme True Demon position?"
The Night Demon God suddenly spoke, a cruel look appearing on his face.
He actually encouraged the True Demon Palace to devour Ling Xiao.
However, after hearing such a bold suggestion, the True Demon Palace merely smiled slightly, showing little surprise, as if he were already used to it.
"I've also been considering this. The fact that Mu Tianqing chose this child as her holy son shows that he has the potential to become Supreme True Demon."
"If I could devour him, it would significantly enhance my foundation and origins."
The middle-aged man spoke in a gentle and refined manner, without a trace of murderous intent.
But to become the Lord of the True Demon Palace, how could one be a mere mortal in the realm of Devil Dao?
The master of the True Demon Palace is named Ren Xiantian, also known as the Innate Demon God. In a certain era, he was a ruthless and heinous figure.
He was later subdued by the Master of the Mystic Heaven Realm, and only then did he reform and become the Divine Hall Master who guards the order of Xuan Tian.
Even though it now embodies justice, representing light and order, its essential nature remains unchanged.
Even after countless years of trials, their nature remains unchanged.
He coveted what was on Ling Xiao and wanted to devour it to achieve his own power.
These are the basic qualities that a person practicing the Devil Dao should possess.
They grab whatever they want, devouring others to grow stronger; there's no mutual help whatsoever.
"Then congratulations in advance, sir!"
The Night Demon God gave a sly smile, then began to fawn over him with an evil grin.
"Hehe... Actually, not only the Mo Li Jin, but also the Myriad Demons I brought back possess considerable origins. I'll reward them to you then."
Ren Xiantian smiled and continued.
"Thank you for your patronage, sir." The Night Demon God bowed deeply, almost kneeling in his humble and obsequious manner.
Although the Lord of Myriad Demons came from the Primordial World, he was a product of Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods and the Great Dao, and his essence was incomparable to that of ordinary demon gods.
The Night Demon God could naturally sense the extraordinary nature of the Lord of Myriad Demons, so he was excited and moved to tears.
I never expected my family to be so thoughtful, even preparing something for me.
But in reality, Ren Xiantian was just preparing for two possibilities. If devouring Ling Xiao failed to achieve his goal or reach his ideal state, he would then devour the Lord of Myriad Demons.
Only by condensing the purest essence of demonic power can one become the Supreme True Demon ruler.
"Do a good job. After I become a true demon, I'll leave this place to you."
Ren Xiantian looked at the Night Demon God with a gentle expression, as if he were looking at his own junior.
This made the latter so excited that he knelt down and almost called out "Dad."
"Your subordinate will certainly live up to your expectations, sir!"
The Night Demon God spoke with absolute certainty, saying that his master was actually entrusting the True Demon Palace to him, which showed the utmost importance and trust he placed in him.
"Hmm... get up," Ren Xiantian said with a smile.
Meanwhile, Ling Xiao had already toured the True Demon Palace and visited various places.
There were various treasure halls with different functions, such as those for refining weapons, refining pills, and storing scriptures, but he only saw the one he wanted to see.
"This can't go on."
Ling Xiao's mind stirred slightly, and he began to grow impatient. So, he snorted coldly and released his Devil Dao nature.
"Alright, alright, what's the point of these places? My hands are itching, is there anything stupid I can mess with?"
Ling Xiao stared at the attendant and spoke, exuding a suffocating aura.
The attendant, terrified, asked tremblingly, "Sir, what do you mean?"
"The meaning is simple: I want to torture people, and incidentally kill some for fun. Take me to the place where criminals are imprisoned."
Ling Xiao's face was filled with murderous intent, and his words instilled fear in the servants from the bottom of their hearts.
That's terrifying, that's so perverted.
He hadn't expected the newly promoted divine general to be so monstrous.
Is this why he can't become a divine general?
"My lord, this..." the attendant stammered, his voice heavy with worry.
"What? What? As a divine general, do I not even have this much power?"
Ling Xiao's face hardened, and an invisible killing intent emanated from him.
"Yes, yes, yes! This way, sir." The attendant snapped out of his daze and quickly led the way, feeling that if he was any slower, he would be dead.
"Hmm... that's more like it." Ling Xiao withdrew his murderous aura and nodded authoritatively.
Not long after, Ling Xiao, accompanied by his attendants, arrived at a gloomy place.
This place is surrounded by abysses, and in the center floats a continuous stretch of colossal cities, exuding a chilling, hellish atmosphere.
