He had lived his entire life proudly and had never suffered such humiliation. Apart from his parents, when had he ever knelt before anyone else?
As one of the most outstanding figures of his generation in the Southern Barbarian Continent, his pride could be imagined.
Today's humiliation was even worse than killing him.
Gongsun Mingyuan's body trembled incessantly. He was on the verge of collapse.
However, the demons did not care about Gongsun Mingyuan's identity, his status in the Southern Barbarian Continent, or how proud he was … Everyone had to kneel before their emperor.
"Endure, Marquis Sheng, you have to endure.
A wise man knows when to retreat. We still have a chance. "
Elder Mu knelt beside the Marquis and constantly comforted him. He was afraid that the Marquis would do something impulsive and infuriate the demons.
Although they had been captured, at least they were not dead. There was still a chance.
The Marquis clenched his teeth and lowered his head, not saying a word.
After subduing the Stone Ant Queen and the Marquis, the demons finally looked at Xi Qianye's group. A trace of hesitation flashed through their eyes, but they did not dare to act rashly in the end.
After all, anyone could tell that the youth knew their great emperor. Without knowing the situation, these demons did not dare to act recklessly.
Gu Qingyan and Gu Yun heaved a sigh of relief. Naturally, they were afraid that the terrifying Devil Race would attack them as well. Fortunately, Xi Qianye's reputation wasn't bad. Those ferocious Devil Race actually let them go.
Looking at the Stone Ant Queen and Gongsun Mingyuan forced to kneel on the ground, the girls felt very relieved. Gongsun Mingyuan naturally did not need to be mentioned. As for the Stone Ant Clan, they had never offended them, yet the Stone Ant Queen had come all the way here to capture them. They were clearly not good people. They were jackals of the same tribe, so it would be best if they were destroyed by the demons.
"Xi Qianye, tell me, did I not save your life again today?"
Lan Mei had her hands behind her back as she looked down at Xi Qianye. She narrowed her eyes slightly and there was a trace of complacency in the corners of her eyes. Perhaps she herself did not realize that there was a strange expression on her face.
"Come down. I don't like to raise my head to talk to others," Xi Qianye said indifferently.
Lan Mei stood at an altitude of tens of thousands of kilometers, overlooking the common people. Xi Qianye did not like to communicate with others at such a high altitude.
If not for the fact that everyone was at the Sage Realm, ordinary people would not be able to see her at all.
"Why should I come down?"
Lan Mei coldly snorted. After she finished speaking, she realized that her tone was a little off. She was too emotional. She immediately changed the topic and said coldly, "You can come up."
After that, Lan Mei waved her hand.
An exquisite long bridge made of blue ice crystals descended from the nine heavens, extending all the way to Xi Qianye's feet.
At the same time, the Spirit Devouring Ape slowly lowered its head.
It shortened the distance between Xi Qianye and Lan Mei.
Seeing this, Xi Qianye did not stand on ceremony. He led Gu Qingyan, Gu Yun, and the other girls onto the ice crystal rainbow bridge and walked all the way to the nine heavens.
Lan Mei saw Xi Qianye coming up with a few girls. Her phoenix-like eyes subconsciously squinted. The look in her eyes was extremely sharp for a moment, but she slowly hid it in the end.
The Stone Ant King looked at the scene in front of him in shock. His eyes were full of disbelief and fear. He had thought highly of that she-devil, but at this moment, he realized that he had still underestimated her.
Who on earth was she?
The Stone Ant King was full of questions.
A demon who could make the Spirit Devouring Ape lower its head and treat her with respect like a mount. Just thinking about it made him feel inexplicable panic.
He really did not understand.
Even if the Spirit Devouring Ape was a direct descendant of the ancient demon god from the era of the Ancient Gods, the most she could do was make the Spirit Devouring Ape her battle partner. It was impossible for her to make the Spirit Devouring Ape her mount or servant.
However, at this moment, the Spirit Devouring Ape did not have the slightest bit of dominance and pride of a divine beast … Not only did it allow a female demon to stand on its head, but it could also allow anyone to stand on its head with a single command from that female demon.
Where was the dignity and dominance of a divine beast from the Ancient Gods?
The Stone Ant King's worldview was completely overturned.
The world had changed!
The world had truly changed!
True chaos was about to descend upon the entire Tianlan Ruins.
The Stone Ant King's body trembled uncontrollably. He had realized that perhaps the greatest crisis since the ancient times had arrived.
A battle between gods and demons that had spanned across hundreds of thousands of years was very likely about to come to a conclusion.
No matter who won or lost in the end, it would be a terrible disaster for all living beings in the Tianlan Ruins.
The Stone Ant King did not dare to continue thinking about it. He knelt on the ground and trembled. Right now, he only hoped that the heavens would love them and not let the Stone Ant Clan be completely destroyed, giving the Stone Ant Clan a chance to continue their bloodline.
"Xi Qianye, he …"
The Marquis of Abyss and Elder Mu stared blankly at Xi Qianye. They never thought that the peerless demoness would actually invite Xi Qianye to the Spirit Devouring Ape's head. It was clear that the two of them did not just know each other. Their relationship was probably not ordinary.
"Xi Qianye is colluding with the demons?"
The Marquis of Abyss' body trembled and his pupils instantly widened. He suddenly thought of an incomparably terrifying problem … If Xi Qianye was colluding with the demons, then …
He simply did not dare to imagine how severe the consequences would be.
If his thoughts came true, then not only the Tianlan Ruins, but the entire Southern Barbarian Continent would not be able to escape this calamity.
There was even the danger of complete destruction. The entire continent would be turned into a land of demons.
Just thinking about the consequences made him shudder.
Not only the Marquis of Abyss, Elder Mu and many of the humans in Stone Ant City had also thought of this problem.
If Xi Qianye stood on the side of the human race, then he could only grow within the human race's system. A peerless sovereign that had not yet fully matured, the powers of the Southern Barbarian Continent had many ways to restrict him or even control him.
If some of the more extreme powers of the continent couldn't make use of Xi Qianye, then it wouldn't be strange at all for them to decisively kill him and prevent him from growing. For example, the Ocean Cover Holy Nation was one such example.
In short, as long as Xi Qianye was within the human race's system and had to rely on the continent to survive, then the various powers of the continent would have many ways to deal with him.
But if Xi Qianye was colluding with the demons and had the protection and nurturing of the demons behind him, then he did not even need to mature in the Southern Barbarian Continent. Then … what would happen in the future? No one dared to continue thinking about it.
Once the only sovereign of all time fully matured, it would not be strange to say that he could destroy the continent.
"Traitor!"
"He's a traitor to the human race."
"Damn it, he's actually willing to be the lackey of the demons. He's simply not worthy of being the only sovereign of all time."
"How can Xi Qianye be so heartless, betraying his own race?"
… …
