Demon Lord's Reincarnation

“So do you believe me now?” Mo Sheng stood up as he spoke. The people from the two clans were still in an unusual state when they heard Mo Sheng’s voice. Seeing them being unresponsive Mo Sheng continued to speak.

“Elders of the Teng Clan, your Ancestor has made an agreement with me, in exchange for his wealth, the Mo Clan promises to protect the Teng Clan, do you accept?”

It took the Elders of the Teng Clan some time to fully digest what was just said and when they did some of them started to tear up. The Ancestor even when facing death still thought of the clan.

“Thank you, we will be under your protection from now on.” The members of the Teng Clan did a palm holds fist salute as they spoke.

The Teng Clan knew that this was the only possible move that they could make at the moment. Now that their Ancestor had died their enemies might take this chance to finish them, this would’ve been a disaster for the Teng Clan. Even if they do somehow survive this ordeal they thought that the Xue and Mo Clans would quickly end them. What was supposed to be their greatest ordeal changed now that the Ancestor actually asked for the Mo Clan’s protection.

Even though their clans were practically enemies for centuries they understood that not gaining the Mo Clan’s protection meant annihilation. It might take some time for some of the members to accept this new arrangement and there might be some that would act aggressively but that was still better than total annihilation.

While the people of the Teng Clan were feeling relieved the people of the Xue Clan were waiting and looking at Mo Sheng expectantly. Did their Ancestor also make a similar deal? If that was true then the Mo, Teng, and Xue Clans would become one big group that could rule the entire Swallow City. The people from the Xue Clan were already imagining the possibilities, yet after some time, Mo Sheng did not say anything more, one of the Elders of the Xue Clan stepped forward.

“Sir Mo Sheng, how about our Ancestor, did he also make an agreement with you?”

Mo Sheng looked at the elder with a face that showed a bit of confusion, he then sighed before responding.

“Oh, you people are still here?… Xue Jin did not leave anything behind for you guys. The only one who made an agreement with me is Teng Yi. If I were you, you better leave now and prepare yourselves for the worst. I know how arrogant the younger generation of the Xue Clan are, because of them you guys have made a ton of enemies. Right now, what you do next would determine the very survival of your clan… Do not worry in respect to Xue Jin one of my greatest rivals, I promise that the Mo Clan will not do anything to the Xue Clan.”

Hearing what Mo Sheng said the faces of the members of the Xue Clan paled as they quickly bowed their heads and left. 𝐞𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.

…

While the respective elders of the Mo Clan and Teng Clan started having a conversation about their newly formed alliance, Ren was back in his room.

He felt slightly disappointed by the events that transpired. Even though the people of the upper realms were obviously much much stronger than those of the lower worlds they were just as cowardly.

What was even worse was the fact that he was just getting stronger and stronger without doing anything. That means that finding a good fight were he could use everything he has would become harder and harder. He knew that this was for the final battle against the ORIGIN, but it was still rather hard for him.

‘Well, this place is so huge and has many beings in it, from the immortal cultivators, divine primordial and demonic beasts, the world deities, the New and Old Gods, even the Ancient Gods exist in this upper realm.’

There’s no end to the future opponents he would face in this realm, and then there was also the battle against the most powerful being in all of the different universes, the father of all things, the ORIGIN. Just thinking about that made Ren feel excited again.

As Ren was once again motivated for the challenges to come he sensed someone approaching his room. The way the person walked told him a lot, it wasn’t as soft as an assassin but it was skilled enough that it made as little noise as possible. There was also a sense of confidence in each step made, it was as if the person walking had no fear whatsoever. This was rather surprising as most of the people of the Mo Clan who approached Ren didn’t even want to get near him and their fear of him was apparent. There was also another person but the second person was obviously afraid and wanted to quickly run away but could not.

‘Hoh, so there is someone interesting in this place.’

The door to his room was opened and as he expected two people had arrived. One was a handsome young man who had a great posture and was exuding a very dominating aura. He was overflowing with confidence as he looked at Ren. Beside the young man was another younger-looking boy. This boy was the exact opposite, he looked timid and frightened as he cowered behind the confident young man.

“Coming in without even knocking, that’s pretty rude, don’t you think so?… Well, I guess it doesn’t really matter all that much, so then who are you, rude young man?”

“I’m Mo Feng, and this is my best friend Mo Lan. I heard from the elders that you’re someone incredibly strong.”

“I’m Ren and that’s correct, if we’re talking about battle strength no one in this city could be my match.”

Mo Feng smiled as he took out his sword and pointed it at Ren. Mo Lan who was at the side was panicking as he tried to pull Mo Feng away but was unable to even budge him.

“Hoh, what is it you’re trying to achieve by pointing that blade at me, incredibly rude young man?”

“I want to test my abilities against you, please allow me to challenge you Sir Ren to a sparring match.”

The moment those words came out of Mo Feng’s mouth, Ren released his aura and incredible pressure came down on both Mo Feng and Mo Lan. The latter fell to the ground trembling in fear, while the former still stood proud and tall waiting for Ren’s answer. Seeing the reaction of the one called Mo Feng, Ren smiled that vicious smile of his.

Ren then emitted his killing intent and directed it entirely at Mo Feng. The killing intent wasn’t even directed at him but Mo Lan who was trembling at the side could not help but stumble back farther away. On the other hand, Mo Feng continued to stand without even flinching, this just made the smile on Ren’s face grow into an even more vicious one as he started to chuckle.

“Hoh, interesting, very interesting. Are you not afraid of me, young man?”

“Why should I be afraid of you?”

“Nice answer young man, fine I accept your challenge.”
