Turning his head towards the south, he could see that the four youngsters had already hidden themselves inside the underground palace, and a sea of blood slaves had surrounded it but had not yet launched an attack.

The three most powerful blood dragons were heading his way. Tang Luo quickly turned to the phantom of the Demon King, “Your Majesty, please make a decision quickly. If the blood dragons get too close, I might have to escape first.”

Stunned by the secret revealed, the Nine-tailed Fox King fell silent. The unexpected ability of this man to fly through the air even after abandoning his cultivation was beyond his imagination. He flew faster than the Blood Divine Son, emitting silver light from his arms, certainly an offspring of Han Wu.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Han Wu was already formidable a thousand years ago. A millennium later, he only had his divine spirit remaining, but who knew how much more powerful Han Wu might have become. The unstable Spirit Realm Gate might hold off an average powerhouse, but it might not hold against Han Wu. The Demon King was well aware of this.

Feeling cornered made him furious, he sternly said, “If you dare to run, aren’t you afraid I’ll kill your clansmen?” After all, this man claimed he stayed here for his people, now using his peoples’ safety as leverage should force him to submit.

“Hahahaha.” Tang Luo laughed boisterously, “Entering the Spirit Realm to save people was a way to gain merits, but now I’m aware that Lord Demon King still has allies. If I report this information, this merit will surpass saving a few Mortal Realm clansmen.”

Hearing this, the Demon King developed a new understanding of the shameless Humans. He coldly said, “You’re even more shameless than Han Wu!”

“Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty.” Tang Luo waved his hand, “I’ll go save my two clansmen first. I hope you make your decision quickly. If the blood dragons come any closer, I may have to leave with them.”

Throughout the discussion, Tang Luo did not let down his guard. Luckily, his cautiousness allowed him to notice the ten or so ‘3000’s appearing in the southeastern sky, and the two black dots marked with ‘999’ on the ground. He knew without a doubt that these must be the other two survivors.

Tang Luo activated the Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique and shot towards the southeast. And the Demon King’s phantom disappeared, casting itself into the underground blood pool.

“This is going to be a disaster.” A sudden voice from the bottom of the blood pool startled the Blood God.

His face full of confusion, he asked, “What’s going to be a disaster?”

“This warrior who entered the Minor Spirit Realm can fly through the sky, and his speed is much faster!”

The Blood Face was shocked, “How is that even possible!?”

If the Nine-tailed Fox King’s understanding of the Human Race was stuck a thousand years in the past, then his knowledge had remained unchanged for even longer than that. Back then, the Human Race was nothing more than his source of blood food. If not for the Humans’ notable fertility, such a weak race would have been exterminated hundreds of times over.

Although the frail Humans could grow stronger through cultivation, those who could harness the ability to defy gravity were still extremely rare, possibly one or two in an entire region. Now, even a common human who had lost his cultivation could fly in the sky, undoubtedly a clear challenge to his understanding of the world.

Seeing the shocked expression on his old friend, the Nine-tailed Fox Demon continued, “Now he is hoping you would spare his clansmen. Otherwise, he will escape and leak the information on the Minor Spirit Realm. If Han Wu comes personally, then we’re really in a bad situation.”

Blood Face angrily responded, “Let him come! Even if I have to risk my hundreds of thousands of Blood Divine Sons, I will use my blood dissolution technique to kill him, to avenge you!”

“How can you be so foolish!” roared the Nine-tailed Fox King. “Now you don’t have a physical body, using the blood dissolution technique will only hurt your spirit. I am trapped in the Realm Heart and cannot help you. Not to mention you are not match for Han Wu, even if he was driven off by sheer luck, you would face annihilation, with nobody to save you!”

Over the years, they had many discussions, most of which were about the sudden rise of the Human race and its powerful practitioners.

In the eyes of the Nine-tailed Fox King, Han Wu was the strongest human he had ever encountered. His physical body was even stronger than that of an average member of the Dragon Clan, and his strength and speed were unrivaled.

Not to mention that the Blood God currently only had a wisp of divine spirit and no more than two hundred thousand Blood Divine Sons left. Even if ten times these resources were available to him and he had regained a physical body, he could still not possibly harm Han Wu. This was even considering Han Wu’s strength a thousand years ago. Another millennium had passed and imagining how formidable Han Wu would become was something the Nine-tailed Fox King didn’t dare to contemplate.

Blood Face looked unwilling to yield, but he knew that his old friend, who had personally seen Han Wu, had more of a claim to the issue than him. Even though he couldn’t believe that human could become so strong, he trusted that the Nine-tailed Fox King would not deceive him. In a rough voice, he asked, “So what do you suggest?”

The Demon King thought for a moment before he decided. “Let him save his clansmen, and have him promise not to release any information about the Minor Spirit Realm…”

“Stupid Fox! Served you right to have your body destroyed and spirit taken by the Human Race! I think you are just a stupid donkey wearing the skin of a Nine-tailed Fox Demon!” Before the Demon King finished speaking, an infuriated Blood Face interrupted him.

Even the most formidable human was a fickle liar. And this was just an ordinary warrior. His old friend actually trusted the man to keep his word. Blood God found this unbelievable.

“It’s been a thousand years, and you still don’t understand? Your defeat was not due to a lack of cultivation. It was your stupidity!” Blood Face roared into the void, “Who could have stopped you if you wanted to go? They wanted to kill you to wipe out your Fox Demon Clan. If you live, they would have to worry about you. If you die, your Fox Demon Clan is certain to perish!”

“Back then, I ruled Longzhou with a million Blood Divine Sons. Even the weakest Blood Beast would make way for me! That’s because they knew, if they killed one of my Blood Divine Sons, I’d annihilate their entire clan! You, on the other hand, despite your formidable cultivation, are lenient and compassionate. You were held at your own doorstep by the Human Race and can’t bear to be ruthless. In the end, you were deceived by Han Wu and met with destruction. Old friend! Don’t you understand!”

The Demon King was melancholic. Over the years, he had thought countless times that had been more assertive back then, he might not have ended up in his current predicament. But inherent nature is not so easily changed, and the consequences were irreversible. Fused with the realm’s heart, there was no second chance.

However, the Blood God could be reborn. His only clinging desire was to help his old friend escape, but under the current situation, if he let the human warrior flee from the Minor Spirit Realm, the only remaining path for his old friend would be death.

“So, what do you suggest?” asked the Demon King helplessly, unable to come up with a solution.

“I can command the blood dragons to cease their pursuit. You go and negotiate with the human warrior. It is okay to let them go, but ask them to stay in the underground palace for a month!” replied the Blood Face decisively.

“What can be done in a month?” the Demon King asked, puzzled by his friend’s intention.

“You really are a foolish fox!” said the Blood God.. “Once he is tricked into the underground palace, where could he possibly escape to!?”
