Yang Jing barked at the sniffling Ox Power Demon, ordering it to the side.

The aura within the Jade Bottle belonged to his personal guard of Ox Power Demons. He had secretly collected it back in the Demon Realm from those who had fought by his side.

These Ox Power Demons were among the most powerful of their kind and were extremely loyal to Yang Jing.

While Yang Jing wasn’t foolish enough to completely trust the loyalty of any Celestial Demon, these Ox Power Demons were indeed the best choice to operate the Demon Summoning Array.

"How have you all fared in the Outer Realm?"

Yang Jing asked.

"We waited a long time for you in the Outer Realm, Great King. Some of the Ox Power Demons said you had been killed by the Demon Cultivators of the Eastern Demon Sect, while others claimed you were a Righteous Cultivator in disguise. Even though we are your personal guard, we couldn’t control so many of our kind. Everyone soon scattered, each going their own way. Only we, your guards, continued to search for you."

As the Ox Power Demon spoke, tears streamed from its eyes.

"Great King, you’re not dead! And now you’ve even possessed a human body. This is wonderful!"

Yang Jing had him step aside, then used a Nine Revolutions Red Blood Pill as an offering to summon all of his former Ox Power Demon personal guards from the Outer Realm.

The once-silent underground world instantly came alive.

Yang Jing probed them with questions, and after confirming that all the Ox Power Demons were more or less the same, he felt reassured.

Only then did an Ox Power Demon notice they didn’t seem to be in the Outer Realm or the Nine Heavens World. It couldn’t sense the omnipresent repulsive force of the Nine Heavens World at all.

"This is a Small Realm that I discovered. It’s a perfect place to hide and evade the pursuit of the Instantaneous Demon Venerable,"

he explained to the Ox Power Demons.

These simple-minded Ox Power Demons, despite possessing a hint of cunning, were instantly moved to tears by Yang Jing’s words.

"The Great King really didn’t forget us!"

As a group of considerably powerful Ox Power Demons, they had few rivals in the Outer Realm. Compared to their time serving the Instantaneous Demon Venerable, their lives could be called carefree.

But they had ruined the Instantaneous Demon Venerable’s grand plan, and a lingering fear always remained in their hearts: what would they do if he came for them one day?

Now, hiding in this Small Realm, they could finally rest easy.

"How does this Blood Pill taste?"

Yang Jing asked, taking a Nine Revolutions Red Blood Pill from his hand.

Upon seeing the Nine Revolutions Red Blood Pill, all the Ox Power Demons’ eyes were glued to it. They had never eaten such a delicious Elixir Pill. A single one contained Essence Blood that surpassed the blood sacrifice of hundreds of people, and its purity was even greater than that of a Human Race Cultivator.

"Exquisite, simply exquisite! Great King, what is this Elixir Pill made of to be so delicious?"

An Ox Power Demon’s eyes were fixed on Yang Jing’s palm, and drool dripped from its mouth.

"This pill is called a Blood Pill. It’s refined from Celestial Demons,"

Yang Jing said with a smile.

When they heard it was refined from Celestial Demons, the Ox Power Demons’ eyes went wide.

"So it’s that simple? Great King, let’s trick those wretched beasts who betrayed you to come here, and we’ll refine them into Blood Pills on the spot!"

To these Ox Power Demons, cannibalism among Celestial Demons was perfectly normal. The other Ox Power Demons had only escaped the Demon Realm thanks to their Great King’s power. They no longer had to be driven like cattle to be sacrificed to the Grand Arrays of Human Race Cultivators. Yet, the moment they regained their freedom, they turned traitor and abandoned their loyalty. They truly deserved to die.

"A few Ox Power Demons aren’t worth much. If we’re going to lure someone, let’s aim for the big fish. I made a point to steal the Eastern Demon Sect’s Demon Summoning Array. We can definitely lure those Starfall True Demons and Yin Evil Spider Demons here and refine them into pills,"

Yang Jing said with a smile.

The Ox Power Demons hesitated. A Starfall True Demon’s power was equivalent to a human Golden Core Cultivator; it could annihilate them with a single breath. They exchanged glances. ’Isn’t the Great King aiming a little too high?’

Yang Jing clapped his hands. With a THUD, the heavy Demon-Catching Tripod landed on the ground, which was thick with Yin Qi. The Five Fire Gourd shot into the air, encircled by its Five Fires.

The two Magical Treasures exuded a terrifying might. Even the Ox Power Demons could see at a glance that they were no ordinary items.

"With these two Magical Treasures, what’s a Great Celestial Demon to us? As long as you lure them into this underground world, they’ll be completely at our mercy."

"All hail the Great King! All hail the Great King!"

an Ox Power Demon immediately began to cheer.

Yang Jing had already set up the nodes for the Array in the underground world. At each node, he placed a Middle Grade Spirit Stone to supply the Demon Banners with Spiritual Qi.

Because the Spiritual Qi in the underground world was sparse, it could only be supplied by these Middle Grade Spirit Stones. They held enough power to support about three Demon Summonings.

This brought the cost of a single Demon Summoning for Yang Jing to over one thousand Spirit Stones.

But a single success would be a massive profit, as over a thousand Spirit Stones could never buy a Spirit Pill capable of advancing one’s Golden Core Cultivation.

"Begin,"

Yang Jing ordered.

Those Ox Power Demons had all served in the Instantaneous Demon Venerable’s Demon Army, so they were no strangers to operating arrays. They raised their Demon Banners and stood upon the Array’s nodes.

Soon, the Demon Banners began to draw the Spiritual Qi from the Middle Grade Spirit Stones, transforming it into billowing Demonic Qi that filled the banners themselves.

Most of the Demon Sect’s Magic Arrays were exceedingly simple. The Demonic Qi within the Demon Banners quickly began to interconnect, faintly coalescing into a massive Mixed Cave.

Yang Jing signaled the Wanhua Child with a glance. The Child immediately activated the Demon-Catching Tripod, releasing billowing clouds of Nine Illusion Mirage Demon Qi. As the Qi shrouded the area, the grim, Yin-Qi-filled underground world instantly transformed. Two enormous Blood Pools materialized from nothing, their boundless contents of sweet, fragrant blood churning violently.
