“For, why… Your Majesty, my subordinate, my subordinate has not committed any errors!”
Every single being hovering in mid-air is a Demon Lord level existence.
They wanted to struggle, but found they had no strength at all.
The Crimson Demon Emperor directly used his bloodline power to seal them, preventing them from releasing even a trace of their aura.
They were thus bound by that magical force, suspended in mid-air.
In such a situation, there is a strong sense of humiliation, akin to being paraded through the streets.
On the platform, Chi Xuan was still pointing one by one, his tone only icy.
“Ah ah… My lord, my lord, I have never done anything wrong! Please spare me!”
“Your Majesty, please don’t kill me, please don’t kill me…”
Why…
On the main hall, besides those terrified screams from the demon lords who had been named, there was no other sound.
The entire hall was heavy with a palpable sense of solemnity.
Numerous demon kings and lords knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe, their hearts pounding wildly!
They still don’t know what crimes the Demon Lords who have been named now have committed!
Is it because of exceeding one’s authority?
If that’s the case, why hasn’t the Heavenly Demon King been named yet?
The Zaittian Demon King, at the head of his Red Demon clan, has been expanding with terrifying ferocity, assimilating ten bloodline branches under their banner. His ambition is so audacious that many rumors even circulate about him plotting to usurp the imperial throne!
Up to this point, the Heavenly Demon King hasn’t suffered any harm at all.
Could it be that Your Majesty, Chi Xuan, is still unaware of what Zai Tian has done?
Then what did these demon lords he caught do wrong!?
At this moment, all the demons present were filled with doubt.
Including those demon lords!
They are high-ranking officials, each holding immense power.
To say that they had all thought about usurping the throne, it’s true, but none of them had been as blatant as Zai Tian.
Therefore, they too are on edge at this moment.
They may not care about the Crimson Execution, but before the Crimson Enigma… they know they are nothing!
Therefore, several demon lords bowed their heads, their nervousness reaching its peak.
But just then, Chi Xuan stopped.
At this moment, within the main hall, exactly twenty figures were enveloped by crimson magical energy, suspended in mid-air.
The demon lords and demon kings who were still kneeling on the ground secretly glanced at him, feeling both relieved and confused.
These twenty individuals named are all demon lords, not a single demon king among them.
Well, if we’re talking about someone with the ambition and capability to seize the throne… then there are only five candidates—the Five Demon Lords!
What was seized, however, were twenty Demonic Sovereigns!
What on earth did these Demon Lords do wrong?!
“Hee hee hee…”
At the back of the main hall, Mozu’s Great Demon Venerable Mo Xiao was so terrified that his teeth chattered and his whole body trembled.
He originally thought he would be arrested too.
But in the end, he escaped unscathed.
“The Divine Race is indeed formidable; their reach extends even into the heartland of our Demonic Race,” said Chi Xuan, his voice as cold as ice. “Of course, given their nature, they must have planted spies within our ranks to monitor my death, to observe if any geniuses will emerge from our midst and if we will once again unite…”
Once these signs appear, they will find ways to stop it.
“If you can’t stop it, then just do it.”
As he spoke, Chi Xuan’s left palm opened.
“Boom…”
The twenty demonic sovereigns suspended in mid-air had an aura of energy around them that roared.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh…”
Then, a heart-wrenching scream echoed within the hall.
“These twenty traitors have maintained contact with the Divine Clan for many years, continuously reporting core intelligence about the Demon Clan to them… Their crimes are appalling.” Chi Xuan said coldly, “Executing them on the spot is already the lightest punishment.”
Between his words, his left hand clenched suddenly.
“…Boom boom boom…”
The twenty demonic sovereigns in mid-air exploded into a cloud of blood.
The metallic smell of blood permeated the entire hall.
This is Chi Xuan’s style, absolutely confident, absolutely powerful.
To speak is to act, and to kill if one must.
“This is the traitor I found with blood connection. I think…there must be more traitors that haven’t been found yet.” Chi Xuan said faintly.
This instantly caused the many demons within the main hall to become tense once more.
“But right now, I’m not going to waste any more time looking for them. I’ll wait for them to come out on their own.” Chi Xuan said again, “Next, let’s discuss the specific battle plan.”
Now, the atmosphere in the main hall eased slightly.
The bloody stench from the twenty Demon Lords exploding still lingered in the hall.
The remaining eighty or so demon lords and demon kings were all bowing their heads, their faces filled only with infinite reverence.
Originally, the demon race, after years of division, seemed to have fallen apart, lacking any cohesion… At this moment, it once again came together as one.
The return of the Chi Xuan Demon Emperor has once again granted the Demon Race the power to rival the Celestial Race!
……
At this very moment, at a location far from the Imperial Palace of the Demon Emperor, within an abandoned palace.
It seems the plan was a success…
