Chapter 1350: Demon-Suppressing Ring

The entire scene was utterly silent; even the drop of a needle could be heard.

Ning Chen and Xiao Han looked at each other. Xiao Han smiled first, his expression filled with myriad emotions, but above all, a pure sense of relief at finally accomplishing something.

Ning Chen also smiled faintly, his exquisitely beautiful and cold features instantly softening. His smile was not the doting one he wore when facing Gu Yanqi, but rather a form of indulgence.

Retracting the formation, Xiao Han landed lightly on the ground, stretched his wrists, walked over to Ning Chen, and extended his hand toward him.

"I have lost."

His voice held no trace of dissatisfaction; indeed, his eyes shone with extraordinary brightness.

Ning Chen chuckled softly, then grasped his hand: "Ah, yes."

Their peaceful handshake signified everything, and the scene erupted in cheers.

The elder of the Nanzhu Sect Sect also felt somewhat helpless; he stepped forward and made a fresh announcement.

"I declare that a new Wu Lin Alliance leader has emerged. He is..."

Stopping halfway, the elder of the Nanzhu Sect Sect turned to look at the two beside him. Come to think of it, he did not even know the name of the young man standing next to Xiao Han.

Xiao Han immediately understood and spoke up: "Ning Chen. His name is Ning Chen."

The elder of the Nanzhu Sect Sect hurriedly exclaimed: "Ning Chen! Our new Wu Lin Alliance leader!"

None of the Gedamen Sects had expected the leader to be someone they had never heard of before, someone entirely unprecedented in the Jianghu up until this moment.

However, no one dared to speak out, for everyone present had clearly witnessed the other's capability. Many sect leaders even felt that if they had stepped onto the stage, they might not have been able to defeat Ning Chen.

Suddenly, the sky turned gloomy, and a mass of black mist appeared abruptly on the platform.

As the black mist dissipated, Mi Hei, the Demon King of the Demon Realm, was revealed on the scene. Many in the crowd wished to leave, only to discover that Mi Hei had enveloped the surroundings with a shadow dome.
