The nine saints stood anxiously in the main hall, not daring to look at Zhang Ziling, but just lowered their heads, suppressing the fear in their hearts.

Each of these nine people holds great power and is the ancestor of the top holy place, but now they are standing in the main hall of the Demon Palace trembling.

If the clansmen of those holy places saw their ancestors like this, they would probably go crazy immediately.

These nine old men are the beliefs of countless monks outside.

The thirteen top-level holy places in Shenzhou on Tianxuan are all powerful forces derived from the former magic palace.

And the patriarchs of the Thirteen Holy Lands were once high-ranking officials of the Demon Palace, who held incomparably huge power.

It can be said that although the Demon Palace was destroyed, the development of the Thirteen Holy Lands in Shenzhou on Tianxuan is inseparable from the influence of the Demon Palace!

What the major powers in Xuanxiao Continent want is only the collapse of the magic palace standing at the peak of the world, but they don't care much about the old monsters in Xuanxiao Continent who carve up an upper Shenzhou among the thirteen clans.

After all, among the forces that besieged the Demon Palace back then, in some holy places, there may be emperors and strongmen who have completely controlled an upper Shenzhou.

In the Xuanxiao Continent, there are a total of thirteen upper divine states, each upper divine state has thirty-six domains, and there are countless cities in each domain, occupying a large number of forces.

A state with a population of 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.

Therefore, the separation of one from Shang Shenzhou will have no effect on the division of the cake by the major forces in Xuanxiao Continent.

After all, Tianxuan Shang Shenzhou was under the jurisdiction of the Demon Palace. If the schools established by the Demon Palace had not spread to the entire continent, they would not want to spend a huge price to besiege the Demon Palace.

Therefore, no matter how the major forces on the world stage are intertwined and turbulent, in the center of Shenzhou Tianxuan...

The thirteen holy places are heaven.

Now, the nine old men standing at the top of Tianxuan Divine Land have completely lost their majesty.

No one dared to speak, they even dared to move.

Gu Changqing was completely sluggish at this moment. In Xuanxiao Continent, the one who can make these nine people so afraid...

only one.

The one who left Xuanxiao Continent more than five thousand years ago.

The Patriarch of the Demon Palace.

Devil Emperor, Zhang Ziling.

Thinking of this, Gu Changqing mechanically turned his head to look at Zhang Ziling, his body trembling violently due to excitement.

Gu Changqing couldn't believe that he was able to see...

The return of the grown-up.

"Kneel down."

Gu Changqing didn't speak, but only heard two words from Zhang Ziling's mouth, like biting ice.

The nine people in the hall trembled slightly, and knelt down directly towards Zhang Ziling, with complex expressions of excitement and fear on their faces.

"Palace, Palace Master..." An old man looked at Zhang Ziling excitedly, tears streaming down his face, and his voice trembled, "You... are finally back!"

"Palace Master, it's great that you can come back!"

"Palace Master, we...have been waiting for your return!"

As the first old man spoke, the other old men also spoke to Zhang Ziling excitedly.

Before stepping into the hall, in fact, these old people had their own thoughts in their hearts, and some even thought about how to deal with the aftermath of their own group.

However, when they stepped into the hall and saw Zhang Ziling's face up close, all their thoughts disappeared.

Even though they have been in high positions for a long time and enjoyed all the prosperity in the world, they have never forgotten the fact that they were once picked up by Zhang Ziling.

There used to be thirteen people, all of whom were brought back from various parts of the Xuanxiao Continent by Zhang Ziling, the devil emperor, and carefully cultivated before they developed into a powerful group and reached the pinnacle of the world.

Each of them was once a poor person at the bottom of the world, if Zhang Ziling hadn't rescued them from hunger and cold...

I'm afraid they died thousands of years ago.

Even though the long time has changed people's hearts, their original awe and gratitude have not been erased.

The old people's fear of Zhang Ziling's return is real.

When they were excited about Zhang Ziling's return, it was also true.

Zhang Ziling glanced at the people below indifferently, and did not show any emotional fluctuations in response to their words.

Once, Zhang Ziling treated them like his own children.

An Bei, who was standing behind Zhang Ziling, looked at the nine old men who were crying all over the place below, frowned slightly, and then said in a deep voice, "Master is back, I didn't come to listen to your thoughts!"

The strong power of the great emperor reverberated in the hall, instantly overwhelming the nine saints in the hall, their faces pale.

Gu Changqing looked at Anbei in shock, and was even more excited...

The nine saints turned pale and couldn't breathe just by using their momentum, and they were so respectful to Zhang Ziling.

Apart from Immortal Emperor Tayue who was rumored to have fallen three thousand years ago, Gu Changqing couldn't find anyone else!

An Bei's energetic appearance was obviously at his peak.

In this short period of time, the Demon Palace welcomed two legendary figures, the Patriarch of the Demon Emperor and the Lord of the Moon Palace... Gu Changqing couldn't think of a reason why the Demon Palace could not rise!

Thinking of the era when he could witness the return of the Demon Palace to its peak, Gu Changqing was overwhelmed with admiration, and the fear in his heart also weakened a lot.

After feeling the oppression of Anbei's momentum, the nine saints shut their mouths one after another, knelt on the cold floor and stopped talking.

All nine people lowered their heads, put their hands on their knees, and behaved neatly.

Regardless of whether their feelings for the Devil Emperor are true or not, the way they abandoned the Devil Palace at the beginning... is the truth.

No matter what the original situation was, is it useful to stick to the magic palace?

When the Demon Palace was alive and dying, they had indeed abandoned the Demon Palace, and for the past three thousand years, they had watched the Demon Palace decay into a second-rate force.

In fact, they also once thought that when the Devil Emperor returns, it will be their death day, and even the entire ethnic group will be ruined because of this.

Therefore, during these three thousand years, most of them have fallen into nightmares, fearing that everything around them will disappear when they open their eyes.

However, the nine of them can also be sure that after leaving the Demon Palace, they never did anything to be sorry for the Demon Palace, and even helped the Demon Palace quietly in the dark.

This is also the only reason they dare to face Zhang Ziling directly, and it is also the only consolation for them to be able to sleep forever after death.

The atmosphere in the main hall is extremely heavy, no matter how much power the old people have outside, no matter how huge wealth they have, how many monks are in awe...

Now they are like prisoners waiting to die, terrified and afraid to breathe.

This scene was undoubtedly very shocking to Gu Changqing and Ren Tian.

The great power who can call wind and rain outside and easily control the lives of hundreds of millions of people can only kneel in this hall, and his status is not as good as their little guys at the Heavenly Palace Realm and True Martial Realm.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Zhang Ziling spoke quietly, breaking the oppressive silence in the hall, and said, "This Emperor, how many years have you been away?"

Zhang Ziling's voice was very flat. Although it seemed to be an ordinary question, the nine old people were all indifferent.

How long have you been away?

Infinite fear welled up in the hearts of all the old people.

Is this asking them to betray?

Or are you blaming them for watching the magic palace decline and not caring?

Or maybe, to express your disappointment with them? In just five thousand years, loyalty is gone.

The old people became more and more frightened, and extremely complicated emotions rose in their hearts.

"Palace Master, you have been away for nearly six thousand years." The old man of the Kang family spoke first and answered honestly.

The other old people also looked at Zhang Ziling with fear on their faces.

Perhaps the nightmare they have been haunting for millennia...

here we go.
