The appearance of the Blood Emperor caused the Demon King and everyone behind him to frown in unison!
As one of the eighteen Heavenly Kings of hell, they knew the strength of the Blood Emperor!
Although weaker than the Demon King, the overall difference was not significant, only about two spiritual artifacts!
"Blood Emperor, what do you mean? Who is your master?" the Demon King asked, his heart filled with confusion!
Hui Kong's eyes were full of bewilderment!
His master's friend?
Do I know such a powerful friend?
The Blood Emperor's eyes were cold: "My master is the sect leader of the Huashan Sword Sect, Chen Nan!"
Boom!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt as if they had misheard!
The aloof Blood Emperor had actually surrendered to Chen Nan?
This was too unbelievable!
After all, he was just a junior at the Foundation Establishment stage...
"Blood Emperor, why did you surrender to the Huashan Sword Sect? Is your brain flooded?" After regaining his senses, the Demon King was furious. "You are one of the eighteen Heavenly Kings, a powerful expert. You are now surrendering to a junior at the Foundation Establishment stage. Where does that leave the dignity of us eighteen Heavenly Kings?"
A bitter smile appeared on the Blood Emperor's lips. "Alright, I never thought I would surrender to a master. Before I met him, my thoughts were the same as yours!"
"A mere junior at the Foundation Establishment stage could be annihilated with a raise of my hand!"
"But when I met my master, I realized how ridiculous my previous thoughts were!"
"His realm is indeed not high!"
"But he has the ability to kill enemies above his level, capable of killing an expert at the second layer of the Golden Core stage!"
"Moreover, he is peerless and unparalleled in history, and it would not be an exaggeration to call him a favored child of heaven!"
"Of course, especially his methods, they are beyond your imagination!"
The Demon King snorted coldly, "Blood Emperor, you can be someone else's dog, you can even eat someone else's excrement, but don't bark at me!"
"And don't ruin my plans. Otherwise, don't blame me for not valuing our past relationship!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Golden Core stage experts behind him all gripped their swords, looking ready for battle!
As long as the Demon King gave the order, they would attack him together!
The Blood Emperor sneered, "Do you think I came here alone?"
The Demon King said indifferently, "Even if all your subordinates came, you wouldn't be a match for me..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw more than a dozen figures flying over on their swords!
At this moment!
The Demon King could no longer remain calm!
His scalp tingled, and his eyes were filled with horror: "How is this possible? How can you possess so many spiritual artifacts?"
His subordinates also panicked!
The Demon King and the Blood Emperor's forces were not too different!
But now...
If a fight truly broke out, they would be the ones who suffered a crushing defeat!
Under the absolute suppression of spiritual artifacts, they would have no good outcome!
"You can't ignore those magic treasures just because you see more than a dozen spiritual artifacts on our side!" the Blood Emperor laughed heartily. Before, the Demon King's strength was superior to his!
But now, it was a crushing advantage!
"Is all this because of Chen Nan?" the Demon King whispered.
"That's right, these things were bestowed upon us by the master," the Blood Emperor said proudly. "Such inferior spiritual artifacts, the master has plenty of them."
"Alright, enough nonsense!"
"I'll give you one last chance. As long as you swear allegiance to me, I will definitely speak well of you to my master and help you obtain some spiritual artifacts!"
"If you truly refuse to recognize what's good for you, I will destroy you all today!"
The Demon King was furious: "Let me pledge allegiance to you? Humph, impossible, I would rather die! I will never become your slave! Yes, I, Ge Deng, would rather die than become your slave!"
The Blood Emperor's eyes turned ferocious: "Then I will send you to..."
Plop!
The Demon King knelt down. He raised his right hand and swore in public: "I, Ge Deng, swear to the heavens that I will pledge allegiance to Chen Nan, the sect leader of the Huashan Sword Sect, for this life. I will go through fire and water without hesitation. If I break this oath, may lightning strike me, and may I be reviled by gods and men and die a horrible death!"
The Blood Emperor was shocked by his operatic move!
He thought the other party was a tough bone!
He never expected him to swear to the heavens to pledge allegiance to Chen Nan!
"Aren't you angry? Aren't you angry?" After swearing, the Demon King provocatively said, "We are all existences among the eighteen Heavenly Kings. Why should I be inferior to you and pledge allegiance to you?"
"Wouldn't it be better for me to directly acknowledge Sect Leader Chen as my master?"
"This way, I won't have to be inferior to you!"
He then burst into unrestrained laughter!
However, his heart was filled with bitterness!
If he hadn't been forced to, he wouldn't have sworn to the heavens to pledge allegiance to Chen Nan!
But now!
He had no choice!
With the strength and equipment of the Blood Emperor and the others, they could completely crush them!
Although surrendering to someone else was dishonorable and embarrassing!
But the Blood Emperor was the first to surrender to Chen Nan!
Even if he was ridiculed, they would ridicule the Blood Emperor!
Of course, he also hoped to obtain some spiritual artifacts after pledging allegiance to Chen Nan!
"Master Hui Kong, my master sends his regards. He hopes you will take care of your health and will visit you when he has time," the Blood Emperor said to Abbot Hui Kong.
"Amitabha, Sect Leader Zhang is thoughtful!"
Hui Kong's heart was in turmoil. He couldn't understand why Chen Nan could subdue the Blood Emperor!
However, he also knew that if Chen Nan hadn't sent the Blood Emperor, Shaolin Temple would not have been able to resist the Demon King!
Therefore, he owed Chen Nan a favor!
------
After seeing Chen Nan back to his villa in Jizhou, Ruo Lan immediately flew away from Jizhou on her sword!
She didn't even bother to visit Chen Nan's house!
Because she sensed the presence of several women in the villa!
She didn't like it!
"Oh, playing mahjong?"
Chen Nan pushed the door open with a smile. Xu Qingxin, Jian Ning, He Shanshan, and Xie Churan were playing mahjong in the game room, and the atmosphere was very pleasant!
And Yue Qimeng was serving tea and water by the side!
Seeing the brilliant smile return to Chen Nan's face, everyone was overjoyed!
In fact, they could all feel the change in Chen Nan after he returned last time. Although they didn't know what had happened, they were very worried!
And now, their hanging hearts had finally settled!
"Qimeng, play a few rounds for me!" He Shanshan quickly handed over her seat to Yue Qimeng, then went to the living room and found two mailbags from a drawer!
"What is this?" Chen Nan asked curiously.
"You'll know when you look!" He Shanshan said with a smile!
Chen Nan opened the first mailbag. What greeted his eyes was an A4 paper with a court seal on it!
Although the content was short, it brought tears to Chen Nan's eyes!
This was a notice of innocence from the court!
He had been wrongly imprisoned for three years. Although the truth had long been revealed, the notice of innocence was still in the process, and it was only mailed to his home three days ago!
This meant that the stain on him was no more!
Now he was an innocent person!
However, when he opened the second letter and saw what was inside, he was completely stunned!
