My whole clan is a master, I have become invincible by investing in my clan members

Xuan Mingzi's tone was filled with anger when he heard this: "The way of cultivation should follow the will of heaven and earth, not be imposed by violence!"

"Follow the will of heaven?" Jiang Han narrowed his eyes, a sarcastic smile evident in his words.

"If the Shangqing Sect truly complies with the will of heaven and earth, it should continue to stay away from the world."

"Since you've appeared in the Demonic Alliance, isn't that also breaking your rules and attempting to interfere with others with external forces?"

"You..." Xuan Mingzi's expression changed slightly.

He had been in seclusion for many years and was unwilling to interfere in the disputes in the Eastern Region.

But the situation was turbulent, and with many righteous younger generations pleading for his services, he was forced to go against his principles.

So, facing Jiang Han's questioning, he was silent for a moment and found it difficult to refute.

Seeing this, Jiang Han said coldly, "That's why I hate you sects that claim to be righteous."

"He talks a lot of good ideas, but his heart is full of calculations."

"They clearly came here to suppress the Demon Alliance, yet they are claiming it as a moral act. How hypocritical..."

As he finished speaking, Xuan Mingzi's expression became more and more embarrassed.

An elder of the Shangqing Sect standing nearby could no longer contain himself and shouted angrily, "How dare you! You dare to humiliate our ancestor like this? You are courting death!"

"Shut up." Xuan Mingzi raised his hand to stop him, staring at Jiang Han with complicated eyes.

He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Demon Lord, you and I both know that sharp words are not an invincible sword."

“True power is the root of persuasion.”

Jiang Han's sneer became even louder: "In that case, let's decide who's better based on strength."

"If you can convince me, I will naturally listen and am willing to stop the expansion plan of the Demon Alliance."

"But unfortunately - I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications..."

Xuan Mingzi took a deep breath, and the aura around him suddenly surged.

With a casual wave of his hand, spiritual energy surged, the power of heaven and earth gathered into a violent cyclone, wind and thunder intertwined, and murderous intent was everywhere!

"I have long heard of the might of the Demon Lord. Today, let me learn from your powerful tactics."

He had an indifferent expression and took each step forward with as much momentum as a mountain.

Jiang Han stood quietly, his eyes calm.

He slowly raised his hand without using any energy, but just clenched his fist, and his bones made a dull sound.

"Very good. Since our philosophies don't align, I'll use my fists to make you understand that your so-called conformity to nature is ultimately just a delusion!"

The voice just fell.

Xuan Mingzi's figure moved suddenly, and starlight emerged like sword shadows, surrounding Jiang Han.

Each sword shadow was extremely sharp, and as the Yuanli surged, the air seemed to be cut apart.

However, Jiang Han simply took a step forward, without any energy glow in his body, and struck straight with his fist.

boom--

The moment the star sword shadow touched his fist, it was shattered by the power of his body and turned into scattered light.

"How...how is this possible?"

A hint of astonishment flashed across Xuan Mingzi's eyes.

He then gritted his teeth and swung more sword shadows continuously, trying to block every inch of Jiang Han's retreat!

Jiang Han kept his pace and pressed down with his fist like a mountain.

boom--

One punch breaks everything.

All the sword shadows instantly collapsed into dust when they came into contact with Jiang Han's body.

"how?"

Jiang Han's voice was cold, and his fists whistled, stirring up a strong wind.

Just by raising his arm and throwing a simple punch, Xuan Mingzi's protective energy was instantly shattered.

The spiritual energy turned into a violent wind and scattered everywhere, causing the hall to buzz continuously!

Xuan Mingzi took a few steps back, his blood boiling and his eyes full of shock.

He had been in seclusion for thousands of years, and his body was well-trained, but he was suppressed by the opponent with only his physical strength, and he had no power to fight back!

"Such strength is beyond the reach of a Half-Step Emperor. Could it be that he is truly...an Emperor, as the rumors say?"

Xuan Mingzi was secretly shocked, but immediately denied it: "But how is this possible? Without the blessing of the dynasty, how could he have reached such a state?!"

At this time, Jiang Han smiled indifferently.

Immediately, the figure flashed and appeared in front of Xuan Mingzi in an instant.

The fist was like thunder, smashing down again.

Xuan Mingzi hurriedly used his energy to condense a shield, trying his best to block this shocking punch.

But the force was so strong that it still penetrated the Yuanli shield, causing his internal organs to churn, blood to flow from his mouth, and his body to retreat in embarrassment!

"That's all..."

Jiang Han shook his head, looking rather disappointed.

"Ancestor!"

At this time, the two elders of Shangqing Sect were furious. Seeing Xuanmingzi was injured, their faces suddenly changed.

They took a step forward, wanting to help, but were held back by Jiang Han's murderous intent, unable to move forward any further.

Jiang Han stared at Xuan Mingzi coldly and approached slowly.

Xuan Mingzi's chest was heaving, his breathing was disordered, and there was no trace of fighting spirit in his eyes.

The defeat is set.

He knew very well that he had no chance of winning.

Rumors about the Demon Lord's bloodthirsty nature flooded into his mind one by one.

"It seems that today is the day I will die..."

He smiled bitterly, with deep despair in his heart.

Today, I am afraid I can’t escape death.

At this time, Jiang Han slowly raised his hand, and yellow light condensed in his palm, filled with murderous intent.

Xuan Mingzi felt even more sad as he watched the attack approaching.

He straightened his body, ready to face the final end.

However, just as the light was about to fall, Jiang Han suddenly stopped, and the murderous intent around him suddenly stagnated.

The tense atmosphere in the air eased slightly.

Xuan Mingzi was slightly stunned, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Not too bad."

Jiang Han said lightly.

"Xuan Mingzi, although your strength is not top-notch and your philosophy is contrary to mine, the Demon Alliance is in the process of reform and needs some useful manpower. I will spare your life."

Seeing Xuan Mingzi's hesitation, Jiang Han smiled and said, "Now that the Five Domain Barrier is about to dissipate, why should we cling to the old ways?"

"How about joining the Demonic Alliance and helping me restore order in the Eastern Region?"

Jiang Han's tone was calm, but the aura around him was like a mountain pressing down.

He is no longer the weak cultivator who had just embarked on the path of cultivation and knew nothing.

But he is the Demon Lord of the Demonic Alliance, the undisputed overlord of the Eastern Region’s demonic world!

He is powerful and has great ambitions.

We will consider the pros and cons of everything instead of killing blindly.

In his eyes, Xuan Mingzi was able to cultivate to the level of a Half-Step Emperor in the resource-scarce Eastern Region, which showed that he had extraordinary talent.

What's more, since joining the Demon League, the other party has never taken the initiative to hurt anyone.

It would be a waste to kill such a person; it would be better to keep him for use.

After all, although there are many strong people in the Demon Alliance, there is not a single cultivator at the half-step emperor level.

If I have this person's help, I can spend more time on cultivation and become a hands-off boss.

Otherwise, the Demon League would have to solve any problems they encountered on their own, which would be too troublesome.

Xuan Mingzi's face showed a complicated expression when he heard this.

He was panting, his heart was in turmoil.

The person in front of him could have easily taken his life, but he stopped at the last moment and offered to recruit him.

He couldn't help but be moved by this vision and courage.

But he also knew that accepting the recruitment meant abandoning the old ways of Shangqing Sect and embarking on a path of no return.

If you refuse and leave today, you will become an enemy and will probably be hunted endlessly.
