Chapter 1351

All the sects rose to their feet, watching Mihei in the center of the platform with caution.

Ning Chen looked at the other party, somewhat puzzled; what was Mihei doing coming here suddenly at this moment? Could it be he had also come to vie for the Wu Lin Alliance leader? But wasn't this Wu Lin Alliance leader of the Human Realm?

"Your Highness the Demon King, since you have suddenly arrived, may I ask what brings you?" the leader of the Nanzhu Sect Sect stepped forward and said kindly.

Mihei glanced at him and replied, "Ah, I heard that the Wu Lin Alliance leader is being selected here, so I came to take a look, and to present a gift to the new alliance leader."

As he spoke, not far away, Geng Zhong, holding something in his hands, flew toward the crowd.

"Your Majesty, the item has been brought."

Mihei took the small box from Geng Zhong's hands: "Although our Demon Realm is rather dim, there are still many good things. This is one of our contributions, the Demon-Suppressing Ring. Whoever becomes the master of the Demon-Suppressing Ring will, just like me, be able to command the people of our Demon Realm at will. Now, I bestow this Demon-Suppressing Ring upon you."

Saying this, Mihei stepped forward and extended his hand toward Ning Chen.

Everyone present was greatly shocked, especially the cultivators; everyone knew of the Demon Realm's Demon-Suppressing Ring, and quite a few even desired to obtain it. It was difficult to become the Demon King, but possessing this Demon-Suppressing Ring meant that, aside from the four great guards beside the Demon King who could not be commanded, one would be equivalent to a second Demon King.

No one expected that Mihei would so casually give away something so important, something that even threatened his own position.

Ning Chen was also somewhat stunned; he looked at the other party and saw Mihei smiling at him, then his voice came to his ear.

"Take it. You saved me, which is equivalent to saving the entire Demon Realm; this is what you deserve."

Mihei must have used a secret technique, allowing the other party to know what he was saying without speaking.

Ning Chen glanced at Miss Hongxiu's position and saw that her face showed no surprise at all; she had clearly known beforehand.

Since the other party had gone to such lengths, even appearing before everyone just to place it on him openly, what reason did he have to refuse?

Thinking this, Ning Chen let out a soft laugh and stepped forward to accept the Demon-Suppressing Ring.

Afterwards, Geng Zhong also stepped forward, extended his hand to take out the Demon-Suppressing Ring, and then placed it on Ning Chen's right middle finger.

The Demon-Suppressing Ring was inherently a ring full of spiritual energy and could adjust its size according to the wearer's hand.

"Please let the first drop of your blood fall upon the Demon-Suppressing Ring."

Without hesitation, Ning Chen bit his left index finger and let a drop of blood fall upon it.

The Demon-Suppressing Ring immediately emitted a burst of light; after the light faded, the ring on Ning Chen's middle finger vanished, replaced by a ring-like pattern resembling a tattoo.

And before long, that ring pattern also disappeared.

"The Demon-Suppressing Ring has recognized its master. When you wish to use it, it will naturally appear; when you do not wish to use it, it can appear as a pattern or vanish completely."

Geng Zhong knew Ning Chen did not understand the Demon-Suppressing Ring, so he carefully introduced the Demon-Suppressing Ring to him.

Ning Chen nodded, then waved his hand; the Demon Ring appeared on his middle finger. Waving his hand again, only a ring pattern remained on his hand.

"Thank you." Looking at Mihei, Ning Chen expressed his gratitude.

The Demon King of the Demon Realm giving a gift to the new Wu Lin Alliance leader, and such a grand gift at that; if Mihei had not sealed off this place, the news would surely have spread by now.

This was simply a huge, huge, huge, huge piece of news; this news would likely be spread for a long time.

"Very well, I came this time merely to deliver a gift. Since the gift has been delivered, I shall depart; do as you please."

Having finished speaking, Mihei lifted the restrictions around them; black smoke enveloped Mihei and Geng Zhong, and the two departed together.

The leader of the Nanzhu Sect Sect reacted, then stepped forward and coughed lightly: "Everyone, thank you all for coming today. The Wu Lin Assembly has concluded; the next selection will be in four years. Please continue to strive."

While the leader of the Nanzhu Sect Sect was speaking, Ning Chen and Xiao Han had already returned to the platform.

Miss Hongxiu and the others had risen and were waiting for the two on the side.

Many people stepped forward, seemingly wishing to speak with Ning Chen, but dared not approach due to Miss Hongxiu's presence.

"You knew he would come?" Although Ning Chen used an interrogative sentence, his eyes were very certain.

Miss Hongxiu had not intended to hide it anyway: "Yes, I just notified him. However, this was also Mihei's own decision; he had always wanted to repay you but could not find the opportunity. Now it is perfect."

Ning Chen looked at the ring pattern on his finger; with a blink, the pattern vanished.

"Help me thank him."

"Have you not already thanked him? Moreover, this is what you deserve."

Miss Hongxiu said with a smile; originally, Mihei had wanted to give this to Ning Chen, but if offered normally, the other party would certainly not accept it. He had been troubled by this matter, so when he sensed Ning Chen was about to become the Wu Lin Alliance leader, Miss Hongxiu hurriedly notified Mihei.
