Chapter 239 - This Lord Never Said I Would Forgive You!

The Demon Lord stood right before him, yet he was too terrified to move…!

This was a feeling Dao Xian Changjdue had never experienced before.

Ning Yechen, with his graceful and slender figure, was like a towering mountain with no end in sight to his eyes.

Just standing before him and feeling the demonic spiritual energy on his body, he felt an immense pressure!

"This humble one is the current head of the Dao Immortal Clan, Dao Xian Changjue…"

"I wonder for what reason the Demon Lord has specially paid a visit to my Dao Immortal Clan…?"

Dao Xian Changjue knew he was absolutely no match for Ning Yechen and could only brace himself and feign calmness as he asked.

His only hope was to be able to preserve a sliver of a chance for the Dao Immortal Clan's survival…

Ning Yechen gazed coldly at Dao Xian Changjue and said:

"Surely the head of the Dao Immortal Clan doesn't truly not know why this Lord has come to find you?"

Dao Xian Changjue: "…"

Dao Xian Changjue was silent for a moment, then he bowed slightly, lowered his head, and began to apologize:

"I ask for the Demon Lord's forgiveness…"

"My Dao Immortal Clan had no intention of provoking you and your wife…"

At this moment, Dao Xian Changjue’s heart was filled with endless regret.

Long ago, when he heard that the Demon Lord had come to the Heavenly Realm to inquire about Luo Ruying, combined with the fact that Luo Ruying had given birth to Luo Hongye who possessed demon clan blood, he had vaguely guessed something.

This was also the reason why he had specially requested the Immortal Ancestor to act personally.

It was just that he had never, ever imagined that the Demon Lord's strength would be so terrifying…

Not only had the Dao Immortal Ancestor and the Six Great Elders all perished, but even the Sect-Guarding Celestial Array was useless against the Demon Lord…

If he had known this earlier, he would not have spared no effort to deal with Luo Ruying just to curry favor with Potian.

Truly, one wrong step led to all wrong steps…

But who could have predicted that Luo Hongye’s father would be the legendary Demon Lord…

Ning Yechen lightly furrowed his brows, his face showing displeasure.

"Is this the only sincerity in the Dao Immortal Clan's apology?"

Dao Xian Changjue lifted his head, a look of humiliation on his face. He gritted his teeth tightly but did not dare to lash out.

After hesitating again and again, in front of all the members of the Dao Immortal Clan and the great demon army, Dao Xian Changjue slowly bent his knees, knelt on the ground, and bowed his head in apology:

"I beg for the Demon Lord's forgiveness…!"

The members of the Dao Immortal Clan were instantly dumbstruck.

Their Dao Immortal Clan had stood as a noble family in the Heavenly Realm for several thousand years at least.

In the Heavenly Realm, no one had ever dared to be disrespectful to their Dao Immortal Clan. Wherever they went, were they not an existence that was deeply admired.

Yet now, their Clan Head, Dao Xian Changjue, was bowing and scraping before the Demon Lord, prostrating himself in apology…!

It was as if the thousands of years of honor of the Dao Immortal Clan were, at this moment, being fiercely thrown to the ground, ravaged and trampled by the Demon Lord!

Some disciples could not bear it and stood up on the spot, roaring in anger:

"Lord Changjue! What are you doing!"

"What need is there to bow your head to the filth of the demon clan!”

"As long as the Immortal Ancestor and the Six Great Elders return, what is there to fear from this bunch of demon clan filth!"

"That's right, Lord Changjue!"

"We haven't lost yet!"

That disciple’s words stirred the agreement and resonance of the other disciples, who all spoke up in support.

"Silence!"

"All of you, shut your mouths!"

Dao Xian Changjue interrupted the members of the Dao Immortal Clan with an angry roar.

He had not told a single person in the clan that the Immortal Ancestor and the Six Great Celestial Law Elders had all perished…

The Immortal Ancestor and the Six Great Celestial Law Elders were the pillars of the Dao Immortal Clan. He absolutely did not dare to announce this matter, for fear of causing a panic within the clan.

Looking at it now, he should have told them sooner…

The members of the Dao Immortal Clan were so frightened by Dao Xian Changjue’s roar that they didn't dare to speak again, not understanding why their Clan Head was reacting so fiercely…

A playful smile appeared at the corners of Ning Yechen’s mouth. He placed a foot on Dao Xian Changjue’s head and, looking at the members of the Dao Immortal Clan, said calmly:

"So you all still don't know…"

"Your Immortal Ancestor and elders are not coming back."

The members of the Dao Immortal Clan: "…!"

Ning Yechen’s words exploded in the hearts of the Dao Immortal Clan members like a heavy bomb!

Everyone was instantly frozen on the spot with disbelief on their faces.

The only hope remaining in their hearts was thus extinguished by a single sentence.

Their strongest Immortal Ancestor and the Six Great Celestial Law Elders had actually already…?!

Looking at the despairing members of the Dao Immortal Clan, Ning Yechen simply said calmly:

"All of you, kneel before this Lord!"

Ning Yechen’s words were unlike Yue Qingyou’s Word-Spirit and did not contain any of its power, yet the members of the Dao Immortal Clan’s legs went soft, and they involuntarily supported themselves with their hands, kneeling and bowing their heads…

"The ones your Dao Immortal Clan should be apologizing to are not this Lord, but my wife and daughter."

Ning Yechen said coldly, looking down on the members of the Dao Immortal Clan.

Dao Xian Changjue and the other members of the Dao Immortal Clan lifted their heads to look at Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye and begged for mercy with trembling voices:

"Luo Shen Empress, we have offended you greatly in the past, please forgive us…!"

"We hope that the Luo Shen Empress can, for the sake of the kindness our Dao Immortal Clan has shown you in the past, forgive our clan's transgressions…"

Luo Ruying looked at Dao Xian Changjue being trampled under Ning Yechen’s foot and the other members of the Dao Immortal Clan kneeling and prostrating, finding it hard to believe for a moment.

The Dao Immortal Clan, who could command the wind and rain and were insufferably arrogant in the Heavenly Realm, were now speaking humbly and bowing their heads in apology…

If it had been her Luoshen Palace, it probably would have been annihilated by the Dao Immortal Clan long ago.

At this moment, the resentment and anger that had accumulated in her heart also gradually dissipated.

Luo Ruying pondered for a moment, then parted her red lips and said:

"Ruying is very grateful for the kindness the Dao Immortal Clan has shown me."

Hearing these words, Dao Xian Changjue’s face revealed wild joy, as if he had seen hope again.

However, Luo Ruying continued:

"However, this kindness, I have already repaid in full on that day when you dug out my bone and took my heart, and I scattered my Immortal Emperor cultivation!”

"I have only come today to take back my heart and bone."

Hearing this, Dao Xian Changjue was instantly at a loss for words, a difficult expression on his face.

"Luo Shen Empress, your heart and bone are no longer in the hands of my Dao Immortal Clan…"

"Where are they?"

Ning Yechen asked, his brows furrowed.

"The heart and bone were taken by an esteemed individual from the Divine Realm…"

Dao Xian Changjue answered truthfully.

Without needing Dao Xian Changjue to say who, Ning Yechen already knew. He continued to ask:

"Where is he now?"

"He should be in the Judgment Divine Palace at this moment…"

"Making a move on the Luo Shen Empress and attempting to snatch your child, Demon Lord, were all things he instructed my Dao Immortal Clan to do…!"

"It was not the original intention of my Dao Immortal Clan!"

At this point, although Dao Xian Changjue was very worried about provoking Potian and angering a god of the Divine Realm, he had no other choice but to pin everything on Potian to absolve himself of responsibility.

Come to think of it, the beginning of all this was because of Potian!

If it weren't for him, the Dao Immortal Clan would not have met with its current fate…!

Dao Xian Changjue had already cursed Potian’s eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart.

Hearing that Luo Ruying’s heart and bone had been taken by Potian, Ning Yechen’s expression showed no ripple.

It just meant one more place to go.

"My wife, take Ye Ye back to Qingyou's side for now."

Luo Ruying seemed to know what was about to happen. She pursed her red lips, wanting to speak but hesitating, and in the end, she said nothing, leaving first with Luo Hongye in her arms.

"De-Demon Lord… M-My Dao Immortal Clan has already apologized to the Luoshen Empress…"

"If you are not satisfied, any compensation will do…!"

Dao Xian Changjue, as if sensing some ominous premonition, pleaded with a trembling voice.

"That's right, your Dao Immortal Clan did apologize to this Lord's wife."

"My wife is kind-hearted and has forgiven you."

"But this Lord never said I would forgive you!"

Ning Yechen leaned down, his ice-cold eyes gazing at Dao Xian Changjue, a cruel smile on his face.

His words instantly plunged all the members of the Dao Immortal Clan present into utter despair, endless terror on their faces!

Ning Yechen slowly turned, leisurely walking away with his hands behind his back as he ordered without turning his head:

"Kill them all!"

"Leave no one alive!!"

"Enjoy yourselves!"

Receiving Ning Yechen’s command, the great demon army, which had long been starving and unable to bear it, charged towards the members of the Dao Immortal Clan like a crazed horde!

The majority of the Dao Immortal Clan members, already heavily injured, were almost powerless to resist, and could only watch with wide eyes as the great demon army devoured them!

"Aaaah!"

"L-Lord Changjue! Save me…!"

"Demon Lord, sp-spare me, aaaah!"

In an instant, the Dao Immortal Clan's territory was transformed into a sea of blood and fire, with fresh blood and severed limbs splattering everywhere!

The inhuman, shrill screams of the members of the Dao Immortal Clan echoed throughout the entire Heavenly Realm…!
