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

Xuan Mingzi's face was pale, his fists were clenched, and his heart was turbulent.

Looking at Jiang Han in front of him, this Demon Lord who dominated the Eastern Region, although he had a smile on his face, there was a chill in his eyes.

This made him feel a chill in his heart, and made him more certain of his original idea.

If you insist on your own opinion and refuse to be recruited, it means becoming an enemy of the Demon League.

The Shangqing Sect will also cease to exist.

All disciples and inheritances will be reduced to ashes!

Thinking of this, his body trembled slightly.

After a long while, he finally spoke in a low voice: "I... am willing to join the Demonic Alliance."

As soon as the words fell, the whole hall fell into deathly silence.

The two elders of Shangqing Sect stood there in a daze, their eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

They never imagined that the ancestor would actually succumb to the devil in front of them.

Besides being shocked, I was filled with grief and indignation.

However, before they could speak, they heard Xuan Mingzi say, "Demon Lord, since I have surrendered to the Demon Alliance, can you let these two juniors return to Shangqing Sect?"

The two elders were shocked when they heard this.

They instantly understood the ancestor's intention.

The ancestor did not surrender for himself, but to preserve the sect!

With this in mind, they were filled with resentment towards the righteous sects who had jointly petitioned the ancestor to take action.

Those so-called allies spoke in high-sounding words, but no one told them the true strength of the Demon Lord, which was so terrifying!

"It's really harmful to people!" A cold light flashed in the eyes of an elder, but in the end he just clenched his fists weakly.

Jiang Han looked at them with an indifferent look, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he spat out one word: "Get lost."

The sound of "rolling" was like thunder, striking the heart and soul.

The two elders' faces turned pale, and there was no more struggle in their hearts.

They turned and left, their steps stiff, their backs looking extremely lonely.

For them, only by staying away from this hall can they relieve the pressure and humiliation in their hearts.

After watching the two hurriedly leave, Jiang Han turned his gaze to Xuan Mingzi, his smile growing: "Xuan Mingzi, you will understand how wise it is to join the Demon League."

Xuan Mingzi was silent for a moment, his eyes complicated. He shook his head and said in a low voice, "Whether it's wise or not... who can say for sure?"

..........

a few days later.

The two elders of Shangqing Sect returned to the sect.

They were exhausted and their eyes were empty.

Seeing this, the elders of the righteous sects who stayed here immediately surrounded them.

"You're back! Where's Senior Xuan Mingzi? Has the Demon Alliance's threat been resolved?"

"Yes, we are all waiting for good news!"

As soon as they finished speaking, they were greeted with two cold gazes.

An elder of the Shangqing Sect gnashed his teeth and said in a low voice: "How dare you ask?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other, their joy frozen.

Another Shangqing Sect elder erupted in anger, waving his sleeves and making the air buzz. "You all jointly petitioned for the ancestor to come out and fight the Demon Lord, but does anyone truly understand his strength?!"

Everyone fell silent, their faces filled with shock.

Someone asked in a trembling voice, "The Demon Lord... is he really that powerful?"

"Strong?" The elder of Shangqing Sect sneered, despair in his eyes. "More than strong."

"Before him, the ancestor had no chance of winning. In the end, in order to protect the Shangqing Sect, he even joined the Demonic Alliance!"

"Humph, you pushed him to his death, and now you're asking where our ancestor is?"

"He's already stuck in the quagmire, and it's your ignorance that pushed him in!"

As the words fell, deathly silence spread.

Everyone's joy turned into astonishment and fear, as if they were suddenly awakened from a dream.

Someone murmured, "Impossible... How could Senior Xuan Mingzi defect to the enemy?"

"Surrender to the enemy?" The elder of Shangqing Sect laughed in anger, his voice as loud as thunder.

"Do you think he's willing? But the Demon Lord is extremely powerful. How can the ancestor fight him alone? He's forced to do this!"

Everyone looked ashen, as if a huge rock weighing a thousand pounds was pressing down on their heads.

A cultivator trembled and said, "Is the Demon Lord really so terrifying? Even Senior Xuan Mingzi had to surrender?"

The elder of Shangqing Sect sneered: "Have you ever seen the feeling of the sky falling? This is the sky falling!"

"When the Demon Lord attacked, the might he exuded was so overwhelming that even a bystander like me almost collapsed, let alone the ancestor who was fighting him head-on."

Another Shangqing Sect elder said bitterly, "That Demon Lord does indeed 'reason'...with his fists."

Everyone was silent, ripples of despair rising in their hearts.

The heavy atmosphere makes it hard to breathe.

After a long while, someone timidly asked, "What should we do next?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone woke up as if from a dream.

An elder from one of the various sects, dressed in white robes, forced a smile and shook his head: "What else can we do? We can't just beg the Demon Lord for mercy..."

"Perhaps the Demon Lord likes to hear jokes." A cultivator said self-deprecatingly, "I can go tell him a few first."

"Remember to bring the coffin before you tell a joke." Another person said coldly, his tone sad, "In case he finishes laughing and then attacks, you can still use it."

An elder sighed, "It seems we can only wait for the Demon Lord to 'pay a visit'."

"Maybe he will give us a gift. After all, we gave him a Half-Step Emperor Lord-level warrior as his subordinate."

The elder beside him smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I'd be satisfied with this kind of gift, but next time, who would dare to give such a 'big gift'?"

A few people laughed dryly, their laughter as dry as broken porcelain and full of bitterness.

"I really shouldn't have counted on Senior Xuan Mingzi to turn the situation around."

"If I had known the Demon Lord was so powerful, I would have been allowed to negotiate peace, taking a few treasures with me. Perhaps I could have bought a few days of peace."

"You?" Another person sneered, his tone teasing, "The Demon Lord probably doesn't value your treasures. He will only consider refining you into ashes and sealing you away in the Demon Alliance."

"So what? At least this is considered as being loyal to the sect." The man spread out his hands, pretending to be relaxed, but his eyes were full of bitterness.

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, feeling extremely heavy-hearted.

At this moment, someone thought of something and whispered, "Actually, if the Jiang clan leader of the Cangwu Jiang clan is willing to take action, there might still be a glimmer of hope..."

"Chief Jiang?"

There was a slight ripple in the originally heavy atmosphere.

"Yes, although the Cang Ling Dynasty rejected our request, Patriarch Jiang is also one of the strongest people in our Eastern Region."

"If he is willing to take action, how dare a mere Demon Lord be so arrogant?"

One person's eyes lit up: "Yes! Go and invite Chief Jiang!"

However, someone soon poured cold water on them: "Hey, are you guys thinking too much?"

"The Cangwu Jiang family has long since announced that unless the Eastern Region is invaded by foreign enemies or someone provokes them, they will never interfere in these matters. What? Do you think you can be that exception?"

Everyone was speechless, and the atmosphere fell to a low point again.

Suddenly, someone sneered, "The Demon Lord is so cruel, and the Demon Alliance is full of demons. Hasn't anyone ever tried to provoke the Cangwu Jiang family?"
