As a great power of heaven and earth, Patriarch Minghe naturally knew that Demon Ancestor Rahu had four Demon Kings under him back then.
The four Demon Kings were Wuxin, Wuxiang, Wufa, and Wutian.
These four Demon Kings were the highest existences below Demon Ancestor Rahu, excluding Jidu. They possessed immense power and held significant sway within the demonic path.
Not only that, but these four Demon Kings were on intimate terms with Demon Ancestor Rahu, acting as both disciples and friends, and were greatly relied upon by him.
Of course, after the failure of the Dao-Demon conflict, given the important status of the four Demon Kings among the demon lords and their relationship with Demon Ancestor Rahu, they were naturally hunted down by the immortal gods of the Primordial Era.
Only Wutian, heavily injured, managed to escape and his whereabouts became unknown. Rumor had it that he had entered the Taishou Zizai Heaven, formed by Demon Ancestor Rahu, and become the commander of the extraterrestrial demons.
Who would have thought that this Wutian had transformed into Wuming and appeared in his own Sea of Blood.
"Wuming, Wutian, I, Patriarch Minghe, believe I have treated you all well, giving you a place to reside. Why do you commit such ungrateful acts!"
Patriarch Minghe was furious. He never expected that his good intentions in taking in these remnants of the demonic path would be met not with gratitude, but with the subversion of the Sea of Blood.
If fellow Daoist Xu Fang had not stopped him just now, he would have foolishly walked right in. Who knew what kind of elaborate trap they had set to kill him!
"Hahaha! Patriarch Minghe, your words are too naive."
Wutian shook his head, sneering contemptuously.
"This Sea of Blood is suitable for demons to survive. Why not simply yield it to us and make it a land for demons?"
"If you agree, we will spare you and even send you those demons who are grateful to you to continue as your subordinates. How about it?"
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Minghe felt a surge of blood. He was utterly enraged!
"Wutian, it seems you are impatient to follow Demon Ancestor Rahu to your demise!"
Patriarch Minghe rebuked angrily. He hated the ungrateful Wutian so much that he wished to kill him instantly.
However, what brought Patriarch Minghe some comfort was that, judging by Wutian's words, a considerable number of demons still remembered his kindness and had not participated in this rebellion.
"It seems you have made an unwise choice. Never mind, you have shown us some kindness. As repayment, hehe!"
Wutian looked at Patriarch Minghe and let out a cold laugh.
"Don't worry, I will try to make your death as swift as possible. Attack!"
Following Wutian's command, dozens of figures immediately swarmed forward, encircling Xu Fang and Patriarch Minghe and their party.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, I am truly sorry. I have implicated you this time."
Patriarch Minghe felt helpless. He had invited Xu Fang to his home as a guest, only to nearly be tricked and killed. His good friend was safe, but now they were surrounded.
"Fellow Daoist Minghe, there is no need to say more. I detest people who seize others' homes the most."
Xu Fang smiled faintly.
"You helped me defend Penglai Immortal Island back then. Now, I will help you reclaim the Sea of Blood. A favor for a favor!"
With Xu Fang's declaration, his followers naturally echoed his sentiments.
"Don't worry, Old Minghe! We owe you a debt from Buzhou Mountain. Now, you must also say thank you to me, the Great Roc!"
"Minghe, don't panic! Stand up and fight! We will help you reclaim your homeland!"
"Hurry up and finish this! I still need to find our family's Qilin Seal!"
The Golden-Winged Great Roc and others spoke, then immediately flew forth, engaging in battle with the demonic creatures.
Seeing this, Xu Fang knew they were trying to relieve the pressure, allowing him and Patriarch Minghe to deal with Wutian. He nodded with satisfaction.
He turned back to Patriarch Minghe and patted his shoulder.
"The World Destroying Black Lotus, that's a good item. Minghe, don't you dare try to snatch it from me!"
Xu Fang said, then led a group of magical treasures and flew upwards, heading straight for Wutian.
Patriarch Minghe smiled slightly at this. Fine, since that's the case, my Sea of Blood will also fight a homeland defense battle!
Patriarch Minghe followed closely behind Xu Fang, heading towards Wutian.
"Do you truly think I, Wutian, am still to be bullied? Hehe!"
Wutian watched as Xu Fang and Patriarch Minghe flew towards him, his aura surging, his cultivation level fully revealed.
"Quasi-Saint mid-stage?"
Xu Fang and Patriarch Minghe were both startled. No wonder Wutian had such confidence; his cultivation level was far superior to theirs.
However, Xu Fang and Patriarch Minghe exchanged a glance and nodded. They showed no fear.
So what if his cultivation was higher? There were still two of them!
Xu Fang and Patriarch Minghe attacked in unison. The World Destroying Black Lotus unfurled instantly. Wutian flashed and sat upon the World Destroying Black Lotus.
Black energy permeated the World Destroying Black Lotus, enveloping Wutian tightly, protecting him thoroughly.
Boom!
The attacks from Xu Fang and Patriarch Minghe landed on the World Destroying Black Lotus, causing a powerful tremor.
As the light dispersed, Xu Fang and Patriarch Minghe looked towards the spot. They saw that the black lotus was completely intact.
Looking within the black lotus, Wutian smiled faintly, completely unharmed. Their previous attack had been in vain.
Sensing the mocking smile from Wutian, Xu Fang and Patriarch Minghe were unconvinced and continued their assault.
However, Wutian simply sat within the black lotus, unmoving. Countless attacks landed, at most causing the black lotus to sway, but they inflicted no harm on Wutian inside.
Xu Fang marveled at the pervasive black energy, the surrounding spiritual energy in disarray. The black energy remained unshaken, leaving Xu Fang astonished.
"Is this World Destroying Black Lotus so powerful?"
Patriarch Minghe heard this and offered a bitter smile, explaining to Xu Fang.
"Among the Twelve-Grade Lotus Platform, the one with the greatest power and strongest defense is the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus."
"Next is the Karmic Fire Red Lotus in my possession, followed by this World Destroying Black Lotus."
Patriarch Minghe looked at the Karmic Fire Red Lotus beside him and sighed.
Even though he felt his Karmic Fire Red Lotus had a higher defense than the World Destroying Black Lotus, defense was clearly useless now that they were on the offensive.
"Is it really that strong? I must try it!"
Xu Fang remained unconvinced and immediately directed his magical treasures to attack the World Destroying Black Lotus, attempting to force Wutian out.
The magical treasures, having been unsuccessful in their previous attacks, were now filled with pent-up energy. They let out a collective cry and exerted all their might.
Instantly, the light of the treasures filled the sky, and the power of countless magical treasures washed towards the World Destroying Black Lotus like a tide.
However, the World Destroying Black Lotus only swayed slightly and could not be breached.
Wutian, seated on the black lotus, was completely unharmed and even felt inclined to taunt them.
"Island Master Xu Fang, I have long heard of your mastery of magical treasures. Is this all?"
Wutian, seated within the black lotus, smiled faintly at Xu Fang.
Xu Fang had calmed down and was thinking of a strategy. He heard Wutian's words and felt it was just the typical taunt of a villain.
However, his magical treasures could not stand it and instantly exploded with fury!
