Chapter 296 I am merely informing you
At the same time, Duanmu Hong also shared some information about the demon race with many cultivators to make it easier for them to understand.
However, before everyone could even process this shocking secret...
Duanmu Hong abruptly changed the subject, his tone becoming extremely solemn and menacing.
"but……"
"This is not the end!"
"That greedy demon race has not been wiped out!"
"Now, with the return of the continent, those damned demons will return with a vengeance!"
"boom--!"
These words were like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing the joy in everyone's hearts caused by the world's advancement.
Demons?!
That demon race that feeds on humans and is cruel and inhumane?
Are they coming back too?

Duanmu Hong did not give everyone much time to think about their fear.
His eyes, which seemed to burn with raging flames, swept across the entire Tianxuan Realm, issuing the strongest call to action!
"A great calamity is coming; no one can remain unscathed!"
"I, Duanmu Hong, in the name of the Lord of the Demon-Slaying Hall, hereby swear!"
"We swear to fight the demons to the death! Until we are both dead!"
"Now, I need everyone, whether you are the lord of a holy land or a powerful rogue cultivator!"
"As long as you are still human, as long as you don't want to become food for the demons!"
"Then join forces with my Demon-Slaying Hall to fight against the demons!"
"Those who disobey orders will be executed without mercy!"
……
As Duanmu Hong's words, filled with boundless majesty and chilling intent, fell, the already trembling sky was torn apart once more.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Terrifying spatial fluctuations erupted like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Behind Duanmu Hong, a total of 108 terrifyingly powerful individuals with profound auras and cultivation levels at the eighth rank stepped out from the void!
They were dressed in uniform black and gold armor, carrying longswords or sabers. Each of them exuded an aura of iron-bloodedness and ferocity, as if they had survived countless bloody battles and crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
This is the Demon-Slaying Legion of the Demon-Slaying Hall.
"hiss--!"
This scene caused the high-ranking officials of various forces in the Tianxuan Realm, who had previously held onto a sliver of hope, to gasp in shock.
More than a hundred eighth-tier beings, and all of them are high-level eighth-tier beings!
Even without the presence of that ninth-rank palace master, this power would be worthy of being called the eighth holy land in the entire Tianxuan Realm.
"By order of the Palace Master!"
The leading warrior, an eighth-tier, tenth-level general, held a golden token and spoke with a thunderous voice:
"All members of the Demon-Slaying Hall, immediately proceed to the various continents to take over local defenses and integrate all cultivation forces!"
"Anyone who disobeys will be considered a demon spy and executed without mercy!"
"yes!!!"
One hundred and eight warriors responded in unison, their voices shaking the heavens!
Then, they transformed into 108 streaks of light, like a meteor shower, shooting off in all directions of the Heavenly Profound Realm.
……
Only at this moment did the local cultivators, who were still immersed in the joy of "world integration" and "spiritual energy revival," finally come to their senses.
What "fighting against the demons together," what "working together with one heart"...
That sounds nice, but it's clearly a takeover!
This "Lord of the Demon-Slaying Hall" who descended from the sky wasn't there to discuss anything; he was there to become emperor.
He intends to seize all the forces and resources of the entire Tianxuan Realm and establish a unified super power.
This was a devastating blow to the seven holy lands, who were used to being high above and ruling their respective territories.
Who would want a "retired emperor" with the power of life and death suddenly appearing above their head?
Who would willingly hand over their hard-earned wealth accumulated over tens of thousands of years?
But looking at the countless eighth-tier warriors flying through the sky, and then at Duanmu Hong, who stood tall in the heavens like a god or demon, he was truly awe-inspiring.
A deep sense of powerlessness arose in the hearts of the seven holy lands.
In the face of absolute power, all reluctance is futile.
Just as they once ruled over those small, dependent sects.
Weakness is the original sin.
……
【Azure Feather Continent - Azure Feather Sacred Land】
As one of the seven holy lands, the history of Qingyu Holy Land is full of legendary color.
They were originally just a top-tier sect called "Qingyu Sect".
However, more than three thousand years ago, taking advantage of the fact that the four old holy lands, including Taiyan Holy Land, were severely damaged by a mysterious powerhouse and their ninth-order treasures were shattered, they rose to power, swallowed up several surrounding continents, and became the new overlords.
It is precisely because of this nouveau riche-style rise that the higher-ups of Qingyu Holy Land have always been arrogant and disdainful of everyone.
At this moment, inside the main hall of the Azure Feather Holy Land.
Eight Supreme Ancestors, who had just broken free from their seals and whose cultivation had reached the eighth level and tenth stage, were sitting together with terrifyingly gloomy expressions.
"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!!"
An old patriarch with a fiery temper slammed his fist on the table, furious.
"That Duanmu Hong, does he really think he's the King of Heaven?!"
"They want our entire sect incorporated into the Demon-Slaying Hall right off the bat? And they want us to hand over all our resources and treasures? They're not even sparing our most precious assets?"
"What's the difference between this and simply wiping us out?!"
Another elder coldly retorted, "That's right! Even though he's a ninth-tier Mahayana cultivator, he can't be this domineering!"
"Our Azure Feather Holy Land has a history of tens of thousands of years and a profound foundation. Even if we are no match for them, can't we at least fight to the death?"
"I don't believe he would actually dare to attack us. The other six holy lands will certainly not stand idly by."
Just as they were filled with indignation and discussing how to bargain with that "palace master".
"Buzz—!"
An indescribable, terrifying pressure descended upon the Qingyu Holy Land in an instant.
The protective array of the mountain couldn't even last a moment before it collapsed.
"I heard..."
"Do you have any objections to my orders?"
A detached, cold, yet supremely majestic voice slowly echoed within the hall.
The eight patriarchs looked up abruptly and saw that a huge hole had been torn open in the dome of the main hall.
Duanmu Hong stood with his hands behind his back, like a celestial emperor surveying the human world, looking down at them, these "ants."
That look in his eyes was cold, ruthless, and even carried a hint of mockery.
"Duanmu Hong!"
An elder from the Azure Feather Holy Land, who was at the forefront, suppressed his fear and stepped forward with a heavy heart.
"Your Excellency is an ancient sage and a Mahayana saint; you should be highly respected for your virtue and wisdom!"
"But isn't your behavior a bit too domineering, senior?"
"Our Azure Feather Holy Land is willing to serve the human race, but if you ask us to hand over our ancestral heritage, we regret that we cannot comply!"
"I'm afraid I cannot comply?"
Duanmu Hong couldn't help but laugh, a laugh tinged with sarcasm.
"You seem to have misunderstood something."
"I have never consulted with you."
"I am merely informing you."
