The Big Black Horse did not kill the old man in hemp clothes, primarily because he was the Clan Leader of the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat Clan. After all, they were of the same clan as the Big Black Cat. It wouldn't be appropriate to kill the Big Black Cat's Clan Leader in front of him, no matter how one looked at it. A stern lesson would suffice. That slap was enough to make the hemp-robed elder remember this lesson for the rest of his life.

At this moment, the golden-robed elder trembled, looking at the black-robed man with terror. He felt as if his throat was constricted, rendering him speechless. How could a minor Dragon God Sect possibly harbor an Eternal Realm Great Demon? Before an Eternal Realm Great Demon, his cultivation at the Tenth Level of the Destiny Realm was utterly insignificant.

The Big Black Cat was visibly smug, his eyes narrowing in amusement as he said, "Old man, now you see the Dragon God Sect's true power, don't you? Hurry up, admit your mistake, and take back your words. You're still Little Cat's father, after all. We're very magnanimous; we won't fuss over such trivialities."

"You want me to bow my head? Absolutely impossible! Unless I'm dead," the golden-robed elder stated stubbornly.

The pink-robed girl hurried to the golden-robed elder's side, supporting his arm, and gently persuaded, "Father, my sister and we are all family. There's no need to create such a deadlock. Please, just take back what you said."

"I will not take them back," the golden-robed elder declared, shaking his head decisively.

Little Cat sighed. In that moment, she felt as if the entire world had lost its color. Her father was just that stubborn. She had deeply understood his obstinacy since childhood. Even when she had vehemently opposed the marriage with the Golden Striped Black Tiger Clan, her father had still agreed to it for the clan's benefit. Even when she had threatened him with her own life, her father hadn't relented in the slightest. He was so incredibly stubborn; no one could sway him.

Seeing the old man so unyielding, the Big Black Cat shook his head helplessly. If a person isn't even afraid of death, there's truly nothing more to be done. He walked over, gently tugged Little Cat's arm, and advised, "Let's leave for now. We can always come back after your father has calmed down."

Little Cat nodded dejectedly, preparing to leave with the Big Black Cat.

At this moment, the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon, who had been silent all this time, suddenly took two steps forward. He scanned his surroundings and sneered, "Old man, if you don't retract your earlier words, don't blame me for being impolite. You may not fear death, but don't forget, your Sky Spirit Cat Clan still has many Clan Members."

Seeing the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon suddenly speak like this, the Big Black Cat was startled, not understanding his intention. The Big Black Horse, after a moment of surprise, instantly understood. He quickly went over and whispered urgently, "Just let it go. Don't start a massacre."

"No! I insist on a massacre! Otherwise, this old man will never yield!" the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon snarled, his voice laced with extreme malice.

The Big Black Horse shrugged, looked at the golden-robed elder, and sighed. "There's nothing I can do. His cultivation base is higher than mine; I can't control him."

"That's right, he can't control me!" the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon interjected, flashing a deliberate, chilling smile, and a trace of the Super Divine Dragon Breath of an Eternal Realm Great Demon began to emanate from him.

Seeing another Eternal Realm Great Demon, the golden-robed elder felt his vision darken, and he nearly collapsed. This Dragon God Sect... actually has two Eternal Realm Great Demons! He bowed his head, his body trembling uncontrollably.

「Inside the carriage.」

Seeing the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon and the Big Black Horse cooperate so seamlessly, Ye Yun couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. One played the good cop, the other the bad cop. This tactic is usually very effective, quite useful. Ye Yun watched with keen interest as events unfolded, moving in the direction he had anticipated.

The Big Black Cat, arms crossed, watched the golden-robed elder with a confident smirk. Now that they had bared their fangs, the presence of two Eternal Realm Great Demons exerted immense pressure on the Sky Spirit Cat Clan.

Little Cat also held her breath, silently awaiting her father's decision. She knew that the Dragon Senior's harsh words were merely intended to force her father into submission.

「Several dozen seconds later.」

The golden-robed elder, head still bowed, let out a series of chilling laughs. "Don't think that just because you're from the Eternal Realm, you can bully others as you please! The Sky Spirit Cat Clan has a legacy stretching back a million years; naturally, we have our own hidden strengths..."

"Hidden strengths?"

Everyone in the main hall was astonished. Little Cat was aghast. She hadn't expected her father to speak of 'hidden strengths' when facing two Eternal Realm Great Demons. She had never heard of the Sky Spirit Cat Clan possessing any hidden strength capable of contending with two Eternal Realm Great Demons.

The Big Black Horse was also rather surprised. Could it be that this seemingly small Sky Spirit Cat Clan actually has an Eternal Realm Strong Person backing them?

The Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon, however, paid this no mind. He boomed with laughter, "Whatever hidden strengths you have, bring them out! Let this lord see!"

"That's right, old man! Stop bluffing!" the Big Black Cat chimed in, laughing as well. This old man must be bluffing out of desperation to save face, probably losing his mind. He was fairly familiar with the Sky Spirit Cat Clan; they weren't as formidable as one might imagine. They don't even have any Life and Death Realm powerhouses. How could they possibly confront two Eternal Realm Great Demons?

With a tremor in his hand, the golden-robed elder suddenly produced a scroll. This scroll was exceedingly ancient, clearly weathered by countless years.

WHOOSH!

The golden-robed elder tossed the ancient scroll into mid-air and declared with profound respect, "We humbly summon the Demon Ancestor, Empress Yun Xiao!"

The ancient scroll unfurled in mid-air, revealing the image of a woman. The woman appeared to be in her early twenties, her features exquisite, her beauty breathtaking. Dressed in a cyan Daoist robe, she possessed an air of transcendent, ethereal grace. However, her expression was frigid, her eyes filled with an indifferent iciness. A single glance was enough to send a chill deep into one's bones, like being plunged into a cavern of ice.

This is... the Demon Ancestor, Empress Yun Xiao? Gazing at the woman in the portrait, the Big Black Cat was utterly dumbstruck. His entire body trembled violently, and he immediately dropped to his knees.

In the distance, the old man in hemp clothes, upon seeing the woman's image, also fell to his knees, his face overcome with emotion. "We pay our respects to the Demon Ancestor!" the old man in hemp clothes exclaimed, his voice thick with emotion.

"What Demon Ancestor is this, Boss?" the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon transmitted, raising an eyebrow in confusion.

"I don't know either! But judging by how agitated Little Cat is, this must be someone extraordinary," the Big Black Horse transmitted back, scratching his head in bewilderment.

Both Little Cat and the pink-robed girl were dumbfounded. The two young women also knelt. Little Cat had never, ever imagined that their Sky Spirit Cat Clan possessed a portrait of a Demon Ancestor.

「Inside the carriage.」

Ye Yun, who had been observing the events in the main hall, suddenly found his expression shifting. The cyan-robed woman on the ancient scroll... her stunningly beautiful face was so familiar, it instantly stirred ancient memories deep within Ye Yun.

Yun Xiao... it's been a hundred thousand years. I never thought your portrait would still be circulating on the Cangnan Continent...

Ye Yun stood up, a faint, enigmatic smile playing on his lips as he murmured to himself, Little Yun Xiao, since when did you become a Demon Ancestor?
