Chapter 1264

He immediately stepped forward and grabbed the Nine-Headed Underworld Emperor's arms.

"Your Majesty, you need not be angry. This is all my own doing.

It has nothing to do with the Princess. Please spare her!"

Looking at Ximen Wudi before him, the Nine-Headed Underworld Emperor pleaded.

And just as his voice had barely fallen—

Ximen Wudi waved his hand, signaling him to let go.

Only then did he turn to the Nine-Headed Underworld Emperor and speak.

"Long time no see. Have you been well all these years?"

Ximen Wudi said with a smile.

And in the Nine-Headed Underworld Emperor's eyes, there was nothing but guilt.

"Back then, it was my fault. I nearly killed your wife. If you hadn't arrived in time—

It's all my doing. If not for me, she wouldn't have died!"

At this moment, he appeared extraordinarily agitated.

Hearing his words, Ximen Wudi waved his hand and spoke.

"Enough. If it was all a misunderstanding, what's the use of saying this now?

How are you now? Have you set foot into Quasi-Saint Seventh Layer?"

"Your Majesty, although I have now recovered, I still need some time before I can break through!"

The moment Ximen Wudi's voice fell—

The Nine-Headed Underworld Emperor said with a bitter tone.

"That's simple. I'll help you raise your realm!"

Ximen Wudi said lightly.

"Really?"

Hearing this, the Nine-Headed Underworld Emperor said, somewhat agitated.

If he truly could step into Quasi-Saint Seventh Layer—

Not only would his strength undergo a qualitative leap,

But he could also ensure that all the powerful experts of the entire Chaos Demon Clan would safely weather this tribulation.

"Of course it's true.

But you must agree to two conditions!"

Hearing Ximen Wudi's words, a glint flashed in the Nine-Headed Underworld Emperor's eyes.

"Just give your command. As long as this concubine can do it, I would go through fire and water, die ten thousand deaths without regret!"

Princess Hongling said.

"First, I hope you will follow me to the Primordial Realm to cultivate.

Although your talent is not bad,

It has not reached the very top.

As long as you stay in the Primordial Realm for a hundred years, you can become Quasi-Saint Eighth Layer!"

Hearing this, Ximen Wudi said slowly.

"Many thanks, Your Majesty, for your favor!"

Hearing this, a look of pleasant surprise appeared in the Nine-Headed Underworld Emperor's eyes.

He had not expected Ximen Wudi to treat him so generously.

"Mm, also, this Chaos Demon Clan's ancestral temple—I'll be occupying it for now.

Once you return from the Primordial Realm, I'll give it back to you!"

"Boom!"

The moment Ximen Wudi's voice fell,

The Dharma Aspect behind him charged toward the sky.

Causing the void to tremble, with countless cracks spreading out in an instant.

The next moment, the sound of shattering boulders rang out across the field.

Immediately after, the grand palace collapsed onto the ground.

And at this moment, within the Ancestor Hongmeng Demon Clan, everyone's expression changed drastically.

"What is Your Majesty doing!"

The Grand Elder of the Ancestor Hongmeng Demon Clan rebuked sharply.

However, the moment his words fell, none of the other elders dared to chime in.

After all, Ximen Wudi's temper was not something just anyone could bear.

And under their horrified gazes,

Ximen Wudi had already led the group out past the Shanmen.

And Princess Hongling, her eyes full of worship, followed behind Ximen Wudi.

When the two of them appeared outside Chaos City,

A trace of relief finally showed in Princess Hongling's eyes.

In her eyes, Ximen Wudi's combat power had even surpassed her own father's.

Moreover, the other's status was exceedingly noble.

As a woman, she felt an inexplicable sense of pride.

"You all should leave. Remember, we still have our hundred-year pact!"

Princess Hongling spoke to the people beside her.

She was unwilling to let Ximen Wudi see her wretched state.

However, just as her words had barely fallen—

Ximen Wudi's brow furrowed.

He could sense the aura of malevolence contained within Princess Hongling.

The sharp sword in 1090's hand—

Could not help but cry out.

"Be careful!"

But, the instant his voice fell—

The sharp sword in Princess Hongling's hand thrust straight out.

"Hiss!"

The sound of the blade entering flesh rang out, and Princess Hongling's body was pierced through.

Yet, not the slightest trace of fear showed on her face.

Instead, she spoke with a ferocious expression.

"Father Emperor, if you want to kill me, I'll drag everyone down with me!"

The instant her voice fell, her body exploded in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!"

Following a violent roar that faded away—

Princess Hongling's figure vanished on the spot.

And upon seeing such a scene—

Ximen Wudi could not help but raise a brow.

"Roar!"

The next instant, an enraged roar rang out.

One could only see, in the depths of the firmament—
