Indeed, just as Duan Gujin and others had thought, the Sky Crossing Demon King controlling the Nine Nether Dark Sea amidst the dark clouds, truly sensed an eerie power below.

Although it could not pinpoint what this eerie power was, it had a premonition of danger.

This was its innate ability to detect danger, an ability to grasp the incredibly subtle danger intuition from the destiny dictated by heavens.

It was because of this intuitive feeling of danger that it did not immediately launch a fierce attack on the group of human martial artists below, but instead, it was carefully searching for something below that could be a threat.

At this moment, silence prevailed around, yet everyone refrained from acting rashly.

"Cao Wentian, if you are a man, come at me and let's continue our duel!"

Just at this moment, Duan Gujin, who had recovered some Primordial Power, provocatively challenged Cao Wentian.

Everyone immediately frowned in exasperation.

"I'll endure!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Wentian was naturally infuriated, but his internal Primordial Power was in chaos, and he knew he was seriously injured and couldn't possibly duel Duan Gujin.

Moreover, the Sky Crossing Demon King, now protecting him, apparently decided to wait and see the situation; he suspected that even if Duan Gujin killed him, it was unlikely to intervene on his behalf.

Although he had collaborated with the Sky Crossing Demon King, he was uncertain to what extent it could assist him, and he didn't want to entrust his life to a completely unreliable Demon King.

Duan Gujin provoked several times, but Cao Wentian still gave no response.

"Cao Wentian, my Childhood Skill is powerful! Indomitable! While you, having favored so many women before, must have weak legs now, right?"

"Cao Wentian, you could even handle a thousand old women, how impressive!"

Hearing Duan Gujin's provocations, everyone burst into uproarious laughter.

Listening to Duan Gujin exaggerating the number of elderly women he allegedly ravished, Cao Wentian simply shut off his ear consciousness, refusing to listen to Duan Gujin's words.

Now that Duan Gujin had almost exhausted his internal Primordial Power and was unable to move, he quickly secretly communicated to the Palace Master to send someone to test whether the Sky Crossing Demon King would intervene to save Cao Wentian.

The Palace Master slightly nodded. Her body flashed and transformed into a stream of light, rapidly rushing towards Cao Wentian.

Duan Gujin didn't expect that the Palace Master would take action herself; he opened his eyes wide, staring intently at the Palace Master, as he did not want any harm to befall her.

Moments later, four elders of Guanghan Heavenly Palace followed to protect her.

Duan Gujin frowned slightly; he truly did not want any harm to befall the Palace Master.

After all, the Palace Master was a core figure of Guanghan Heavenly Palace.

If something happened to her, it would be like a dragon without a head.

Seeing five martial artists of Martial Sect level appearing, Cao Wentian panicked, shouting loudly.

"Sky Crossing Demon King, save me!"

He used the Flying Technique and flew into the skies.

In the sky, the Sky Crossing Demon King, upon sensing this, immediately lifted the Spatial Confinement formed by the Nine Nether Dark Sea in the nearby void.

Moments later, Cao Wentian soared into the sky, standing on a patch of dark clouds.

Cao Wentian was overjoyed, realizing that he actually held a significant place in the heart of the Sky Crossing Demon King.

"Sky Crossing Demon King, why did you not take action?"

Cao Wentian could not help but ask.

The Sky Crossing Demon King said: "I have a dangerous premonition in my heart! I sense a great danger lurking below!"

Cao Wentian, upon hearing this, his eyes flickered as he hurriedly said, "Sky Crossing Demon King, are you scared because they have more people?"

He deliberately used reverse psychology, hoping to provoke the Sky Crossing Demon King to attack the group of humans below.

"Not at all! I'm not afraid of their numbers, what I fear are the tactics they specifically prepared to deal with me! I've been burned once before, this time, I must be exceedingly careful!"

The Sky Crossing Demon King spoke indifferently.

"Oh!"

Cao Wentian's eyes darted around, and he suddenly said, "Sky Crossing Demon King, please eliminate the person who just fought against me. That person holds a high status among the group below. If you eliminate him, it will throw them into chaos!"

The Sky Crossing Demon King snorted coldly, "You can't defeat someone and you want me to fight your battles? You wish! Deal with your own enemies! I'm telling you, now is not the time for me to act!"

Hearing the Sky Crossing Demon King's words, Cao Wentian's heart sank sharply.

"Sky Crossing Demon King, come down and fight us! Don't be a coward like those around you!"

Zhu Ge Hongyun suddenly shouted loudly from within the crowd.

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Many knew that Duan Gujin was Zhu Ge Hongyun's disciple, immediately thinking like master, like disciple!

"I'm not a coward! Now is not the best time for me to make a move! I won't just walk to my own death!"

The Sky Crossing Demon King remained completely unfazed.

Zhu Ge Hongyun snorted coldly, "Sky Crossing Demon King, don't mistake cowardice for virtue! Even the coward next to you dares to face his enemies in a duel! Defeated but glorious! But you, you fucking coward!"

"Right! Right! Sky Crossing Demon King, don't be a coward! You must stand up for the Netherworld Dark Clan!"

The crowd below jeered, shouting loudly.

"Sky Crossing Demon King, don't you want to avenge your fallen comrades? If you want revenge, then come down and fight us!"

"Sky Crossing Demon King, don't be more of a coward than the coward next to you! That coward can easily handle a thousand women, you can easily deal with us too!"

The Sky Crossing Demon King snorted coldly, his mind racing as he considered why those humans below were so eager for him to come down and fight, realizing there must be a trick behind it.

Hearing those martial artists' taunts, Cao Wentian couldn't help but violently spurt a mouthful of old blood.

"Damn it!"

He had tolerated Duan Gujin's mockery before.

But now, with the group of martial artists below mocking him, he could no longer hold it in.

"Pfft!"

Cao Wentian continued to spurt several mouthfuls of old blood; he nearly fainted.

He hurriedly swallowed some Elixir Pills to quickly stabilize his injuries.

Even though he had shut off his ear consciousness earlier, the group of martial artists below applied a Secret Technique, allowing him to hear their mocking words.

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered as he guessed that the Sky Crossing Demon King likely sensed danger below, so it had not acted rashly but continued to observe from the sky.

"That Sky Crossing Demon King's intuition is indeed sharp!"

Duan Gujin exhaled a breath, continued to swallow Elixir Pills, and then circulated his Cultivation Technique to recover his Primordial Power.

"It seems I need to figure out a way to break this stalemate."

Duan Gujin racked his brain, considering how he could get the Sky Crossing Demon King to come down.

The scene remained a tense standoff, but without further action from the Sky Crossing Demon King in the sky, the group of humans below could not proceed either.
