"Stop calling, they are all dead," that ice-cold voice sounded behind Fu Jiushu, who had already pushed the door open and entered.

Fu Jiushu turned around and looked at the young man in black clothes, sighing, "So, you have finally decided to kill me, haven't you?"

"I had originally planned to let you go, but you set your sights on my disciple. Therefore, you deserve to die," the young man in black said expressionlessly, standing quietly after entering and looking at Fu Jiushu.

Fu Jiushu also stared back at the young man in black, and after a long while, he unexpectedly started to laugh, "To be honest... Demon Lord, I am really surprised you have survived until today."

"I am quite surprised too," the young man in black spoke indifferently, "Lucky to be alive."

"No, it's because you have a good disciple!" Fu Jiushu sighed, "Unexpectedly, this young man who has shaken the three realms of the Heavenly Immortal Spirit has formed a connection with you, the Demon Lord."

"Yes, surprised me too. I didn't expect my disciple to be so outstanding," the Demon Lord's tone sounded very flat, but anyone could hear the pride in his voice.

"The Poison of Seven Killings... failed to poison you to death. Such a pity..." Fu Jiushu sighed, "It's a powerful poison that took me many years to procure. In theory... even if an emperor accidentally encountered this poison... they would resent it with their dying breath. Ah... it's true that man's plans can't compare to heaven's designs!"

"I too didn't expect the Poison of Seven Killings to actually come from you," the Demon Lord sighed lightly, but a flash of extreme cold killing intent crossed his eyes.

"It's useless to say anything now, right?" Fu Jiushu looked at the Demon Lord and sighed deeply, "Since you have already killed all my guards, then... naturally, you won't let me go. But, can you let me see my sister?"

"No," the Demon Lord replied coldly, "Die doesn't want to see anyone from the Fu Family!"

"Alright, then make your move," Fu Jiushu said, spreading his arms and looking at the Demon Lord with calm acceptance.

The Demon Lord said indifferently, "What's the use of killing a doppelgänger of yours? But you definitely don't know that I've already found out where your true body is hidden. Fu Jiushu... the Fu Family's biggest playboy and old loafer on the surface, who relied on vast resources and barely built himself up to the Mahayana stage, just a wastrel, in reality, runs the Fu Family's intelligence department, the sharpest knife of the entire Fu Family. You planned the assassination against me back then and have since orchestrated many assassinations targeting disciples in the Immortal Realm... who would have thought that you, Fu Jiushu, are not only not a wastrel but actually one of the most outstanding individuals in the entire Immortal Realm?"

For the first time, Fu Jiushu's face underwent a huge change, and he looked at the Demon Lord with a hint of panic, "Did Die tell you this?"

He then began shaking his head desperately, "No... impossible... Die is so kind, she would never betray anyone from the Fu Family, besides... Die doesn't know about this, how... how could you possibly know?"

"Didn't you say it yourself, man's plans can't compare to heaven's designs?" The Demon Lord looked at Fu Jiushu impassively, "That's why I will eradicate you completely!"

"Hahahaha!" Fu Jiushu suddenly burst into laughter, then looked coldly at the Demon Lord, "I have to admit, Demon Lord... you really are a capable man! Without a good lineage or a powerful background, to have achieved what you have today, you are enough to make countless great clan cultivators feel ashamed. But... it's still useless! Just you, attempting to eradicate the true body of me, Fu Jiushu, is still far-fetched! My true self can leave the Immortal Realm at any time! My real realm has long surpassed that of ordinary transcending monks! I don't believe..."

As Fu Jiushu was speaking, his body suddenly stiffened, his fair face instantly flushed, and then he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His eyes revealed boundless terror as he looked at the Demon Lord, "How is it possible... you... you are clearly right here, how could you possibly have killed my true self? Fu Xiaodie... she doesn't have that ability!"

"Die is so kind, how could she possibly make a move against you?" The Demon Lord glanced at Fu Jiushu and said, "Not only you are capable of such a feat in this world. Just a doppelgänger, I have one too."

"You... you are a doppelgänger?" Fu Jiushu looked at the Demon Lord with a face of disbelief.

"No, I am the original!" the Demon Lord said, and suddenly there was an ancient long knife in his hand, and with one swipe, he cut off Fu Jiushu's head and then pierced through his elixir field.

In Fu Jiushu's elixir field... besides a Taoist platform, there was nothing. It was indeed just a doppelgänger!

Fu Jiushu's severed head fell to the ground, still murmuring, "Why... How did this happen? You... How exactly did you know where my true body was hidden? Your realm... It shouldn't be possible to easily kill my true body..."

"I am many times stronger than you can imagine!" the Demon Lord said, then with a swing of his long blade.

Fu Jiushu's head split in two, and his voice abrupt ended.

Following that, the Demon Lord took out a communication stone from Fu Jiushu's body, channeled mana into it, and activated a force of spirit within the stone. The stone was immediately activated, and a dignified yet calm voice emerged: "Jiushu, have you found anything?"

The Demon Lord said indifferently, "Fu Jiuxiao, Fu Jiushu is dead. If you do not want the entire Fu Family to be annihilated, then immediately call off the pursuit of Chu Mo. I'm not joking with you, this is the last warning to your Fu Family!"

"You... You're the Demon Lord?" Shocked, Fu Jiuxiao's voice came from the communication stone.

With a forceful squeeze, the Demon Lord crushed the communication stone and then turned to leave.

In the courtyard, a dozen cultivators at the Ascension stage were scattered about, each with wounds nearly identical—their brows pierced, their elixir fields penetrated, their second primordial spirits perished within!

This scene, if witnessed by other cultivators, would surely have caused them to scream in horror. They would not believe that someone could so effortlessly kill these top experts of the Fu Family without alerting Fu Jiushu inside the room. So much so that until his death, Fu Jiushu didn't get a chance to send out any warnings.

The vast intelligence department of the Fu Family... was still in operation. To this moment, no one was aware that their leader... was already dead.

Fu Family.

Fu Jiuxiao held the communication stone with a shocked expression, surrounded by seven or eight elders of the Fu Family, who also wore expressions of astonishment.

"The Demon Lord... he... he actually intervened in this matter!" Fu Jiuxiao murmured, "Why? Didn't he say... he would no longer interfere with the Fu Family's affairs from now on? Why did he step in?"

"Patriarch, what do we do now? Are we to simply submit to the Demon Lord's threat... and give up on this matter?" one of the elders said angrily.

"Yes, Patriarch, if this is the case, won't our Fu Family live under his shadow in the future?"

"Had I known, I should have killed that wench Fu Xiaodie!"

"If it weren't for her... would the Fu Family have suffered such a disaster?"

"Patriarch..."

At this moment, the elders had all come to their senses, expressions of righteous indignation on their faces, looking at Fu Jiuxiao.

Fu Jiuxiao's face turned from pale to flush, and finally, with gritted teeth, he declared, "Spread this matter throughout the entire Immortal Realm! I want Chu Mo and the Demon Lord... to have no place to be buried!"
