The master goes down the mountain, I have nine invincible masters!

"Elder Meng, what do you mean by that?!"

Just as Lao Shu's voice fell, a gloomy voice filled with anger suddenly rang out.

Within the Demon Saint's Palace, there are many kinds of demons, and it is impossible to refer to every single one of them by race.

Therefore, they all have their own names.

Those who can be referred to by race are the most talented and promising individuals within their respective races.

For example, Hongluan.

Elder Meng refers to the old woman.

Upon hearing the voice, her expression remained unchanged; she simply turned her head calmly and looked at an elderly man sitting to the side.

The old man, with a goatee, stared at the old woman with a sinister look in his eyes.

"Elder Yang, a true phoenix has appeared in my Red Phoenix clan. Am I not allowed to say a few words of praise?"

The old woman spoke indifferently, not taking Elder Yang seriously at all.

"Hmph, Hongluan colludes with Ye Junlin, a heinous crime! Our Demon Saint Palace has no such person. Are you perhaps planning a rebellion?!"

Elder Yang slammed his hand on the table and glared at the table.

"rebel?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Meng, who appeared to be an old woman, suddenly sneered: "Whether I rebel or not is none of your business, and you have no right to reprimand me!"

This Elder Yang is also a sixth-level Venerable Saint, a powerful expert who has completed the Fusion of the Dao.

The two were of similar cultivation levels and held similar positions within the Demon Saint's Palace.

Therefore, Elder Meng showed him no respect whatsoever.

"Moreover, as the strongest member of the Red Phoenix Clan, seeing a true phoenix appear in our clan, of course I must protect her."

As he spoke, Elder Meng slowly stood up, his eyes coldly fixed on Elder Yang.

"Elder Yang, if you want to kill Hongluan, I don't mind fighting you!"

boom!

As he spoke, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Elder Meng's body.

The scorching flames enveloped her body, causing her to sway slightly.

Elder Yang's expression immediately changed: "Elder Meng, I kindly advised you, but you wouldn't listen. The Lord of the Manor has already decided that Hongluan must die, yet you insist on protecting her. What is this if not rebellion?!"

"Lord of the Manor, do you think I am rebelling?"

Elder Meng ignored Elder Yang and instead placed his hands on the table. His aged eyes were now extremely cold as he stared at the Lord of the Manor and spoke.

The lord's brows gradually furrowed.

Elder Meng's sudden change of behavior gave him an ominous premonition.

A sixth-level Venerable Saint who has completed the Dao Fusion...

He holds considerable prestige within the Demon Saint's Palace and has his own faction!

"I can understand that Elder Meng's clan has a genius like Hongluan and he feels grateful for her talent, but her collusion with Ye Junlin is intolerable!"

The manor lord gazed at Elder Meng and slowly shook his head.

He has decided to eliminate Ye Junlin and refine all of Ye Junlin's inheritances, including his bloodline, for his own use.

Hongluan firmly stood by Ye Junlin's side.

We certainly can't let this opportunity pass us by!

This point will never waver!

"Colluding with Ye Junlin?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Meng suddenly sneered: "What exactly did Ye Junlin do wrong that made the Lord of the Manor use the word 'collusion'?"

The manor lord's expression froze.

Among the elders seated in their seats, several suddenly brightened up.

Yes, what did Ye Junlin do wrong?

He led the people of the Demon Saint Palace to the Land of Heavenly Souls and brought back two Venerable Saint level experts.

Among them, Hongluan even completed the fusion of the Dao.

There is also the legacy of the phoenix.

Without Ye Junlin acting as a 'medium', the Demon Saint Palace would never have been able to obtain such an opportunity.

Now, the Lord of the Manor wants to kill Ye Junlin.

How is this any different from crossing the river and then dismantling the bridge?

What's more, they also have to kill Hongluan, who has the inheritance of the phoenix!

This move is truly disheartening.

However, although these elders thought this way, none of them dared to show it at this critical juncture.

On Ye Junlin's side, the strongest person is only Elder Meng...

It's still a long way off!

"Elder Meng, I think you really have rebellious intentions."

Seeing the expressions on the elders' faces, the manor lord's eyes turned cold, and his tone became sinister, filled with murderous intent.

It's necessary to make an example of someone!

Otherwise, those below will likely become increasingly disrespectful to him!

"This is exactly what we're doing, rebelling against you!"

Before Elder Meng could speak, Ye Junlin's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately shouted in a cold voice.

"As the master of the Demon Saint's Palace, you are only thinking of yourself and only care about interests, completely devoid of feelings and righteousness!"

"How can the Demon Saint Palace last long if it is led by such a heartless and ruthless person?!"

"Everyone——!"

At this point, Ye Junlin suddenly raised his voice and glanced around: "Just think about it, today I, Ye Junlin, am cooperating with your Demon Saint Mansion. Have I ever treated you unfairly or wronged you?"

"I did my best for you, and this is how it ends!"

"And what about Hongluan and Cuie? Have those two ever harbored any disloyalty towards the Demon Saint's Palace?"

"As a result, you will also be executed by your prefect!"

"With his style of doing things, the next Hongluan, the next Cui'e, might just be any one of you here!"

These words were spoken with resounding force and conviction.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of many elders changed slightly, and their eyes flickered involuntarily.

Everyone present was a being who had attained supernatural powers!

Having been through so much, they could naturally see that Ye Junlin was trying to win them over.

But the truth is just as Ye Junlin said.

He wasn't exaggerating at all!

Who knows, at some point, this same fate might befall me.

The lord's style is like a sword hanging over one's head...

Who is not afraid?

"Boy!"

Just as Ye Junlin was about to say something, Elder Meng, who looked like an old woman, suddenly turned her head and stared coldly at Ye Junlin.

"When did I ever say I would betray the Demon Saint's Palace?"

"When did you ever say you wanted to rebel?"

"I only want to protect the true phoenix of my Red Phoenix clan. As for you..."

At this point, Elder Meng said expressionlessly, "Whether you live or die is of no concern to me. With your cultivation level, you are certainly no match for the Lord of the Manor!"

Ye Junlin was stunned for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Elder Meng spoke with such ruthlessness.

But thinking about it, it makes sense—

With the situation still uncertain, Elder Meng dared not prematurely side with Ye Junlin.

Unless Ye Junlin can defeat the Lord of the Manor!

Or, kill the lord of the manor!

Elder Meng!

At this moment, Hongluan suddenly spoke up, cupping her hands to Elder Meng: "Thank you for your kindness, Elder. I appreciate it, but Ye Junlin and I have gone through thick and thin together and have developed a deep bond. I will never abandon him."

"If you are in a difficult position, please step back. Don't risk your life."

"you……!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Meng was immediately furious, but when she met Hongluan's resolute gaze, she suddenly sighed.

"Very well, since that's the case, then this old woman will..."

"Inverted!"
