Demon Lord's Reincarnation-Chapter 573 - Awakening

When Mo Fan heard what the Fourth Elder said he remembered the warning Ren gave them before he fell asleep. After explaining that detail to the others, the Patriarch and the three Elders all looked at the Fourth Elder.

"Fourth Elder, did you plan to kill our guest?"

Hearing the Patriarch's question the Fourth Elder thought of lying at first but decided against it. He looked at the others who were waiting for his answer, he sighed before answering.

"It was just for a brief moment, just a single second of greed, I was just thinking for the good of the Clan. I didn't know that he would react in such a way."

Even as they were conversing the unconscious Ren was trying to break through the sealing spell. The people present knew that it was just a matter of time before Ren breaks free.

"We will talk about your offense on a later date Fourth Elder, for now, we need to do something about this situation."

"He's not even using any of his Qi his physical body alone is already beyond our means. At this rate, it would take around him a few hours before he's set free and kills the Fourth Elder. I'm already consuming various potions I brought with me to replenish my Qi. We need to think of something before I lose all my potions." The Second Elder spoke while taking out another potion.

"Usually if we couldn't subdue him we would either restrain him or put him to sleep. Since we're already restraining him and he's already asleep, the only other thing I can think of to stop him is to kill him." The Third Elder suggested with a rather calm smile on his face.

"That would be our last resort, I don't really like to kill the person who helped our people. We need to think of another way." The Patriarch spoke while asking the Second Elder for another Qi replenishing potion.

"How about we try waking him up. The only reason why he's attacking us is because the Fourth Elder emitted killing intent, and his body is reacting to it unconsciously. If he were awake he should stop, right?"

When the others heard the First Elder's suggestion they were dumbfounded, such a simple solution and they weren't able to think of it.

"So how are we going to wake him up?"

"Maybe we should attack him. If we attack him with a force stronger than what his physical body can handle he should wake up to protect himself. Even if that doesn't wake him up, at least if his body gets injured enough he would stop moving. As long as we don't kill him anything goes, right?"

"Once we do that and we fail wouldn't he perceive us all as enemies to kill."

"It's better than doing nothing."

"Alright then, Third Elder and Fourth Elder should attack him, while the others and I continue to seal him."

"Alright, let's do that."

The Fourth Elder quickly agreed, on the other hand, the Third Elder wanted to say something but kept quiet and nodded his head. Once they were ready the Third Elder and Fourth Elder stopped using the sealing spell weakening it. Now that only three of them were maintaining the sealing spell, they could feel Ren breaking the spell faster than before.

The Third Elder took out a couple of Golden Talismans and threw them at Ren, and the fourth Elder clenched his fist and punched forward emitting golden light. The talisman that the Third Elder threw summoned a barrage of lighting, which hit the unmoving Ren. At the same time as the lightning descended a giant Golden Fist had also hit the unmoving Ren.

The three who were restraining Ren could still sense Ren struggling to break free. As the dust settled they saw that except for his torn clothes Ren was basically unharmed.

"No choice, all of us need to attack at the same time!" Feeling that the situation was getting out of hand, the Patriarch made his decision. Even though he knew that it was the Fourth Elder's fault he was still a part of the Clan and Ren was an outsider.

Even Mo Fan who didn't want Ren to die had no choice at this point. He and his men also got ready to attack with their strongest move. It was a good thing that the Second Elder had set up a protective array formation making so that the people outside wouldn't notice their battle.

The group had unleashed their strongest attacks in unison, their combined might could even kill an early-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. Yet before their attacks could reach Ren's body they were negated. It was at that moment they felt an intense aura envelop them forcing them to kneel on the ground. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

Even the First Elder who was at the peak of the Golden Core Realm could not remain standing. They then saw Ren opening his eyes and he looked at the people standing in front of him. When Ren was looking at them the group felt an incredible dread fill their hearts. It was as if a primordial monster was looking directly at their souls wanting to devour them.

"Did you people just try to kill me?"

As Ren spoke each word in a frigid tone, his killing intent was rising. The force of his killing intent made the group of cultivators feel like a giant mountain was crushing down on them. They could actually feel the touch of death.

'How is this at the Nascent Soul Realm?! Even the Ancestor can't emit such pressure by his aura alone.' The Patriarch gritted his teeth as he endured.

"Senior! Please it's all a misunderstanding!" Mo Fan gathered up all of his strength and courage to speak. Ren then looked at him and frowned.

"Oh, a misunderstanding is it? So you trying to kill me while I sleep is all a misunderstanding, is that it?"

Mo Fan and the others could feel Ren's killing intent becoming more intense as they could barely hold on to their consciousness. As they thought that they would be killed, the pressure Ren was emitting disappeared. The moment the pressure was gone some of Mo Fan's men directly fainted, Mo Fan himself was barely hanging on to his consciousness.. The Patriarch and the Elders were breathing heavily as they looked at the fearsome monster before them, unsure why he didn't kill them.
