The void behind Ye Zheng suddenly tore open, and a figure stepped out slowly from the rift.
The newcomer wore a black, luxurious robe and had a high ponytail. His long, ink-black hair almost reached his ankles, and his cold face revealed a hint of evil charm.
The person who came was none other than Ye Tianshen, a Mo General of the third legion of the Mo Realm!
An Immortal Emperor level of terrifying cultivation!
Even within the Mo Realm, Ye Tianshen was a top-tier powerhouse!
Ye Zheng was overjoyed to see the newcomer and quickly crawled to Ye Tianshen's feet with his distorted body.
"Lord Ye Tianshen!!!"
"You must stand up for me!"
"This person not only offended my Mo Race, but he doesn't even have you or the Mo Realm in his eyes!"
With his boss, Ye Tianshen, present, Ye Zheng was immediately brimming with confidence.
He was certain that the man before him was finished!
Ye Tianshen didn't immediately turn his gaze to Ning Ye Chen. Instead, he first glanced at Ye Zheng, who was at his feet, and frowned, reprimanding:
"Why are you here?"
"I don't recall allowing you to descend into the human realm without authorization, right?"
"Um… Please forgive me, Lord Ye Tianshen…"
Ye Zheng didn't dare to tell Ye Tianshen the truth. He had been instigated by a mysterious person to come to the human realm and kill someone, so he could only stammer before directly confessing his guilt to Ye Tianshen.
Seeing Ye Zheng's direct confession, Ye Tianshen only coldly left a sentence, "Go to the punishment after returning to the Mo Realm," and didn't ask any more questions.
It was a common occurrence in the Six Realms for people from other realms to secretly run to other realms.
The Mo Realm was no exception.
Ye Tianshen only thought that Ye Zheng and the others had come to the human realm to cause trouble on their own.
He happened to be searching for traces of the Demon Sovereign in the human realm when he sensed the aura of the Mo Yan.
Out of curiosity, he came to investigate and happened to hear Ning Ye Chen's words.
Ye Tianshen felt extremely angry that Ye Zheng and his group had lost to a person from the human realm.
The reason he punished Ye Zheng wasn't just because he'd descended to the human realm without permission; it was mainly because he'd lost!
The Mo Realm valued honor and dignity above all else. Losing a fight was equivalent to losing face for the Mo Realm!
That was what angered Ye Tianshen the most.
Originally, he hadn't planned to intervene. Even if Ye Zheng had lost and died, it would have been because his strength wasn't up to par. There would have been nothing to say.
But Ning Ye Chen's last words had been too arrogant, so he couldn't help but appear.
He wanted to see just who dared to be so arrogant!
Not even the Nine Great Immortal Domains of the Immortal Realm dared to say they could keep someone safe from the entire Mo Realm!
Ye Tianshen's gaze shifted to Ning Ye Chen. His expression faltered, and he looked puzzled. Then, he frowned slightly, carefully sizing Ning Ye Chen up and down. His eyes gradually widened, and his expression became increasingly complex during this process…
That was an expression of mixed surprise and fear...
"Hmph, long time no see, Ye Tianshen~"
Ning Ye Chen sneered, greeting Ye Tianshen.
This time, Ye Zheng was displeased. He struggled to stand up and roared at Ning Ye Chen:
"Bold! Who do you think you are!"
"Daring to call out Lord Ye Tianshen's name directly!"
"Stop trying to cozy up to our Lord Ye Tianshen!"
"You've offended my Mo Realm, you're dead today, kid!"
"Right, Lord Ye Tianshen!"
Relying on Ye Tianshen's presence, Ye Zheng's expression was incredibly arrogant. After speaking, he looked at Ye Tianshen with worship.
However, unexpectedly, Ye Tianshen's face was extremely unsightly. He grabbed Ye Zheng's collar, his hand squeezing his face with force, almost crushing his skull!
Ye Tianshen leaned close to his face, staring at him with a murderous gaze, and said in a cold tone:
"What the hell are you talking about!"
"Are you trying to kill me!"
"Do you know who's in front of you! You fool!!"
"Y-yes, it's you, Lord Ye Tianshen..."
Even though his skull was splitting with pain, Ye Zheng still endured, not daring to make a sound, his expression deeply puzzled.
"I'm not talking about myself, you idiot!"
Ye Tianshen angrily slammed Ye Zheng's head into the ground, causing the entire earth to rumble!
After that strike, Ye Zheng was already on the verge of death...
Even now, Ye Zheng still didn't understand why his superior was punishing him so angrily.
He had never seen his master's expression so terrified... Was Master Ye Tianshen actually afraid of the man in front of him…?!
Even the black-robed man who had barely survived was stunned.
Master Ye Tianshen, who commanded the Mo Realm, was actually afraid of the man before them?!
Ye Tianshen released Ye Zheng, flinging him aside. He then placed his left hand over his right chest, and with a respectful and elegant bow towards Ning Ye Chen, greeted him:
"Ye Tianshen greets the Demon Sovereign!"
Ye Tianshen was filled with self-reproach and shame.
Unbelievable, he hadn't recognized the Demon Sovereign at first glance!
And he had even spoken rudely to the Demon Sovereign!
Moreover, his subordinates seemed to have even attacked the Demon Sovereign!
It was simply a disgrace for him, a Mo General of the First Legion!
Ye Zheng and the black-clothed man wore expressions of utter shock, staring blankly at Ning Ye Chen.
The man before them was the Demon Sovereign who had disappeared from the Mo Realm for over a hundred years?!
There was no mistake!
Only that person had the right to make the great Ye Tianshen bow so low!
After coming to their senses, Ye Zheng and the black-robed man immediately knelt down, kowtowing, and trembling, they said:
"We, we pay our respects to the Demon Sovereign...!"
At this moment, Ye Zheng and the black-robed man were filled with despair and regret.
They had actually attacked the Demon Sovereign...!
This was an unforgivable crime in the Mo Realm!
Ning Ye Chen waved his hand, a look of disdain on his face.
"Don't call me that, I'm no longer the Demon Sovereign."
"Demon Sovereign! You are still the only Demon Sovereign of the Mo Realm!"
"We have been searching for you, waiting for your return to the Mo Realm!"
"The Mo Realm cannot do without you!"
"Please, come back with me!"
Ye Tianshen raised his head, his expression eager as he pleaded with Ning Ye Chen.
They had searched for Ning Ye Chen's whereabouts for nearly a hundred years!
The purpose was to welcome back their great Demon Sovereign!
"After I left, didn't a new Demon Sovereign ascend?"
Ning Ye Chen asked, puzzled, upon hearing that Ye Tianshen and the others had been searching for him.
The Mo Realm had always been ruled by the strong, and countless people had attempted to seize the position of Demon Sovereign.
Even he, in the past, had fought his way up, defeating everyone to become the supreme ruler of the Mo Realm.
Logically, after he left, many people should have coveted the position of Demon Sovereign.
Ye Tianshen nodded, his expression cold and solemn as he replied:
"After you left, there were indeed some who harbored ill intentions and attempted to ascend to the position of Demon Sovereign."
"We have already cleared out quite a few individuals with ulterior motives!"
"They simply aren't qualified to covet your position, Mo Zun!"
Ning Ye Chen: …
Ning Ye Chen was speechless.
Didn't that mean that for over a hundred years after he left, the Mo Realm didn't have a Mo Zun…
He thought someone had already taken his place…
He had already prepared to retire peacefully and enjoy the rest of his life…
"Mo Zun, we have all been waiting for your return!"
"Please, you must return to the Mo Realm with me!"
Ye Tianshen implored Ning Ye Chen once more.
Ning Ye Chen still waved his hand dismissively, refusing without hesitation:
"No."
"Let any of you become the Mo Zun."
"Whoever wants to be the Mo Zun can be the Mo Zun, I'm not doing it."
"W-why…?"
Ye Tianshen asked, extremely puzzled.
Ning Ye Chen wore an expectant smile. He said softly,
"Because I have something even more important to do now!"
