"Boss! You're back! Little White!" Taurus, stationed at the entrance of the underground palace, rushed forward as soon as he spotted Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan nodded and handed Aries, who was in his arms, over to Taurus.
"Boss, you're covered in blood! Are you hurt?" Cancer also ran over, concerned.
"I'm fine; it's not my blood." He snapped his fingers, and a cleansing spell enveloped him, whisking away the bloodstains. He casually donned a black robe.
"Let's cremate Aries' body first," Li Xiaonan said coldly, his expression revealing no extra emotion.
He led the demons out of the underground palace and instructed Taurus to lay Aries on a patch of open ground.
He took one last look at Aries and said, "I wonder if demons are reborn in the Underworld after they die. If so, no matter whether you come back as a human, demon, or spirit in your next life, you can always find me. You will forever be my brother, Li Xiaonan!"
After saying those final words, a purple lotus formed from Nine Yang True Fire sprang from his fingers and gently floated down onto Aries' body.
Flames suddenly engulfed Aries' form, wisps of blue smoke rising slowly and stinging their eyes.
Capricorn sniffled and wiped away tears from his face.
Taurus forced a smile and said, "Haha... look, even Old Mo is crying!"
Capricorn shot him a glare. "Shut up! It's just the smoke!"
Li Xiaonan patted his shoulder and said, "It's not shameful for a man to cry or to be stepped on; as long as you're alive, there's always a chance to fight back! Aries didn't die in vain; it's time to settle accounts with that bastard!"
Capricorn frowned. "Boss, we can't act impulsively. We need to think this through."
Li Xiaonan smiled and said, "Do I seem like an impulsive person?"
Capricorn pressed his lips together and replied, "Not really..."
Satisfied, Li Xiaonan nodded. Capricorn added, "You just..."
Li Xiaonan coughed awkwardly, gazing at Aries' ashes being scattered by the wind, gradually disappearing from view.
He couldn't help but sigh; the truly impulsive one was already gone.
Shaking his head, he said, "Let's go. I already have a foolproof plan!" With that, he led everyone back to the underground cave.
Li Xiaonan found a stone to sit on and said, "After dark, I'll lure that guy out of the main city while you take this opportunity to rescue Fei'er!"
Capricorn's mouth fell open in disbelief. "Boss, is this really your so-called foolproof plan?"
Li Xiaonan felt a bit frustrated and thought to himself: It seems like I'm being looked down upon by my junior...
Scorpio quickly spoke up, "Boss, why don't we take back the Twelve Houses step by step? No matter how strong that guy is, he can't withstand our overwhelming numbers!"
Li Xiaonan stroked his chin thoughtfully. Is this the strategy of surrounding the city from the countryside?
He shook his head and said, "It's a good method, but I don't have that much time. The most important thing right now is to rescue Fei'er. Who knows what the Demon Emperor is planning? Besides, reclaiming it won't be easy."
The eleven demons exchanged glances before ultimately sighing and abandoning that idea.
"Boss, why don't we let all eleven of us lure that guy away while you go rescue your sister-in-law?" Taurus suggested.
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but laugh. "Little Jin, your intentions are good enough. If I'm not mistaken, that guy is the one who injured the Demon Emperor. Carefree Dual Cultivation Group, do you eleven think you can hold him off?"
Several people exchanged glances and finally shook their heads.
Li Xiaonan flicked his sleeve and said, "You may not have confidence, but I do! So far, I've indirectly killed one Immortal Emperor and directly crippled another. Do any of you have that kind of power?"
The eleven shook their heads again, looking dejected.
"Then let's stop wasting time. I'll go lure that guy, and you all hurry to find Fei'er. With the eleven of you together, there aren't many who can move against you in the Demon Realm!"
"Yes! Boss!" The eleven knelt on one knee, their right fists placed against their chests, speaking in unison.
Li Xiaonan nodded and began to repair the Golden Cloth for the eleven.
Night fell, and the eleven sets of Golden Armor shimmered under the moonlight. They had definitely been upgraded from defensive gear to weapons; their dazzling light could easily blind an enemy's titanium alloy eyes.
Li Xiaonan patted Capricorn's shoulder and said, "I'm leaving now. You eleven be careful. Once you find Fei'er, notify me immediately and then retreat!"
His figure swayed, revealing once again the characteristics of a silver-haired, silver-eyed demon.
The night wind grew stronger as Li Xiaonan hovered in the air, the ten pairs of Flesh Wings behind him gently flapping.
The tower defenses beside the city walls emitted vigilant beams of light, landing steadily on him.
Li Xiaonan faintly heard orderly footsteps and some voices coming from within the city.
"The former Demon Emperor has arrived! Quickly inform the lord!"
"Hurry! Move quickly! Assemble!"
Li Xiaonan's lips twitched slightly. He hadn't even had a chance to grasp the spatial properties of the Demon Realm yet, and the throne of the Demon Emperor hadn't even warmed up—how did I become the former one?
When did the Demon Clan become so united? This Demon Emperor really has some skill!
The sound of a horn echoed, and the city gates swung open. Rows of the Demon Army appeared before Li Xiaonan, marching in unison under the moonlight, creating a solemn atmosphere.
Li Xiaonan nodded slightly, thinking to himself: This is good! I want all of you to come out!
He communicated with Capricorn, saying, "You can move now!"
At the same time, he tossed out the Seven-Level Pagoda.
The seven-layered exquisite Pagoda emitted a dazzling light, slowly rotating and growing larger. The golden bells at the corners of the tower rang out with a distant and ethereal sound.
Buddhist chants resonated from the tower as Li Xiaonan pressed his palms together and declared, "Put down your weapons and become a Buddha; Seven-Level Pagoda, go!"
With a loud boom, the Seven-Level Pagoda crashed down into the midst of the Demon Army, crushing thousands of demons beneath it.
The imposing tower instilled fear in onlookers. Eighty million Buddha's Envoys had fully awakened this Buddhist artifact.
The main gate of the Pagoda swung open violently, revealing numerous figures in yellow robes holding wooden staffs appearing in mid-air. While they were not fierce-looking, they exuded an intimidating presence, coldly surrounding the demon army.
Li Xiaonan nodded in satisfaction; very good! Smash them with those sticks!
Eighty million Buddha's Envoys chanted Buddhist mantras. With a flick of their left hands, Muyu appeared before them.
They transformed their wooden staffs into Muyu hammers and began striking the Muyu rhythmically.
Li Xiaonan stumbled slightly, nearly falling from the air.
What a thunderous sound with little impact; however, it did align with Buddhism's spirit of compassion.
As the sound of Buddhist chants echoed, the demonic army instantly fell apart in disarray. The winged demons rolled on the ground, gradually transforming into specks of light that joined the grand chorus of Buddhism.
"Buddhism! Who are you?" Li Xiaonan turned at the sound.
The speaker stood nearly two meters tall, clad in imposing black feathered armor. His long black hair danced wildly, and his crimson eyes held an eerie charm. What was even more astonishing were the Flesh Wings behind him, so numerous they were impossible to count—at least a hundred pairs!
From a distance, they resembled spikes more than wings.
This figure was none other than the legendary Demon Emperor, looking quite impressive!
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but scoff inwardly, yet he said aloud, "I am indeed the Demon Emperor of the demon realm. And who might you be?"
"Hmph! Insolent! I am the true Demon Emperor! You young brats are truly arrogant!"
Li Xiaonan chuckled and replied, "Nan Muzi pays respects to the esteemed Demon Emperor. Isn't it just a case of a young calf not fearing a tiger? I hope you can forgive me!"
Li Xiaonan wasn't just idly bantering with the Demon Emperor; he was trying hard to buy time.
The Demon Emperor raised an eyebrow and asked, "How do you possess a Buddhist treasure?"
"Heh heh, I picked it up on the way."
"You're speaking nonsense! You have no restraint! Truly shameless!"
Li Xiaonan thought to himself: Where did this guy crawl out from? His speech is all four-character phrases—is he trying to show off his education or just proving he isn't illiterate?
Li Xiaonan dismissed him with, "Believe it or not!"
The Demon Emperor's expression changed, and he sneered, "Why waste words with him? Let's just fight!"
The Demon Emperor furrowed his brow, slowly raising both hands as if preparing to unleash a powerful attack.
Li Xiaonan was taken aback, thinking to himself, "Damn! He's bringing out a big move! I should go all out too!"
He brought his palms together at his waist and struck a pose, declaring, "Turtle! Wave! Energy! Technique!"
The blue waves of light emitted by the Demon Emperor collided fiercely with Li Xiaonan's Heavenly Union Strike. All the flying sand was drawn into that sphere of light, and the entire space seemed to freeze, as if everything had come to a standstill.
Suddenly, Li Xiaonan felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. He retracted the demon's disguise and quickly moved backward.
In just three seconds, the sphere of light exploded violently, resembling a mushroom cloud from a distance. Dust swirled in the air, the ground trembled, and it felt as though the sky itself might tear apart.
Li Xiaonan clutched his heaving chest, gasping for breath.
The Demon Emperor flickered and reappeared right in front of Li Xiaonan. With a cold gaze, he said, "So it’s you!"
Li Xiaonan was stunned. This guy knows me? How is that possible?
A figure as powerful as him would never forget someone he had seen! Besides, if he had seen me, would I still be alive today?
He quickly played dumb and said, "Uh-huh, Lord Demon Emperor must have mistaken me for someone else?"
"How could I be mistaken? Li Xiaonan, even if you turned to ashes, I would recognize you!"
Li Xiaonan rolled his eyes in disbelief and retorted, "You’re just lying! Didn’t you just not recognize me? When have we ever met?"
"Hmph! Come and face your doom!"
The four words spoken by the Demon Emperor sounded like firecrackers exploding in Li Xiaonan's ears, each booming sound nearly knocking him off his feet.
Who is this guy, able to directly call out my name as if we have a deep-seated grudge?
When did I offend such a character?
This Demon Emperor is one of the Four Emperors who had previously died at the hands of Li Xiaonan, either directly or indirectly. Though they have now merged into one, the memories of those days remain intact.
Li Xiaonan continuously formed hand seals, his figure shifting as he executed an S-shaped maneuver to escape.
"Where do you think you're running?" The Demon Emperor relentlessly pursued him, black sword lights bursting forth from his fingertips.
Li Xiaonan glanced back and retorted, "Damn! Do you think you're just playing around?" But inwardly he thought: If this stalemate continues, I'm the one who will end up dead! My kidneys! This Demon Emperor is definitely not just a Demigod! He’s practically a god!
The Demon Emperor seemed to be able to predict Li Xiaonan's movements, and the distance between them grew smaller and smaller.
In a moment of distraction, the Demon Emperor coldly blocked Li Xiaonan's path.
Li Xiaonan furrowed his brow; within the Spirit Platform, the Spirit Tree stirred, and numerous clones appeared simultaneously.
He shouted loudly, "Run!"
"Hmph! Just a trivial skill!" The Demon Emperor moved, and thousands of clones coldly hovered in the air, launching an assault on Li Xiaonan and his duplicates with overwhelming numbers.
