I Am Overlord

Chapter 1285: Return

Finally, Xiang Shaoyun could leave the seventh layer of the Devil Domain. He was reluctant to part with his mother, but he was also joyful that he had finally regained control over his fate. The person sending Xiang Shaoyun off was Ming Helian.

One could say that their status had undergone a complete turnaround. In the past, Ming Helian was the one who had captured Xiang Shaoyun. Now, he was respectfully sending Xiang Shaoyun off.

Xiang Shaoyun didn't bother blaming Ming Helian. Ming Helian was now his butler and had never done anything excessive to him. He had already forgotten about the kidnapping.

Along the way, Xiang Shaoyun asked about the fourth, fifth, and sixth layers. He knew that the three layers were the core of the Devil Domain and had the largest concentration of devils. The devils on these layers were powerful and could only be commanded by the three clans.

Naturally, each of the three clans had their respective subordinate clans, so none of the clans could fully control all of them. Since Xiang Shaoyun had offended the Diabolic Dragon Clan, he had to avoid the Diabolic Dragon Clan's subordinate clans if he did not want to be assassinated.

He wasn't interested in spending more time in the Devil Domain anyway. With Ming Helian by his side, they traveled at their top speed. He did not forget to memorize the route to make it easier for him to return in the future.

Quite a few exits led to the upper layers, but some exits were known only to the devils. Xiang Shaoyun was using one of these secret routes. With the Imperial Nether Clan's unique rune on his forehead, no devils dared to obstruct his path, allowing him to smoothly arrive at the third layer.

Ming Helian wanted to send Xiang Shaoyun all the way to the first layer, but Xiang Shaoyun rejected the offer. With his current strength, nothing in the third layer could harm him. Ming Helian couldn't command Xiang Shaoyun, so he could only obey.

"Take care of my mother, or I'll be looking for you the next time I return," reminded Xiang Shaoyun.

"Yes, nineteenth prince. I will do my very best and take good care of the lady," said Ming Helian with a bow.

After Ming Helian left, Xiang Shaoyun withdrew his rune. He had no intention of exposing himself as an Imperial Nether Clan member anytime soon.

"I wonder how the others are doing," Xiang Shaoyun muttered to himself as he rushed in a certain direction. historical

He had been in the Devil Domain for three years. The Devil Hunting Expedition was nearing its end. He had no idea how everything was right now. He had to find someone and figure out what had happened during his absence.

During his search, he encountered many devils. Some of them seemed capable of sensing the powerful devil bloodline he had, so he faced very few devil attacks. As for those blind enough to attack him, he naturally wouldn't hold back. He killed every single one of them. He wouldn't stop killing devils just because he was now an Imperial Nether Clan prince.

In fact, the Devil Domain was a cruel place. The strong would always be right, and those with high-tier bloodlines like the Imperial Nether Clan would never allow the lesser races to offend them. Any offenders would be killed.

So long as Xiang Shaoyun didn't blatantly murder Imperial Nether Clan members, he was free to kill any devil he wanted. After a day, he finally found traces of humans battling against devils. He hurriedly rushed over.

Xiang Shaoyun did not recklessly charge into the battlefield. Instead, he observed from afar. When he saw the people on the battlefield, he blanked out in astonishment. One person and two sabers, slaughtering all the incoming devils, sending flesh and blood flying in all directions.

That person had a straw hat on his head. Under the hat was a steadfast face. He was clad in a crude martial outfit, revealing his destructive muscles. Each move of his was accompanied by saber intent as he slaughtered all who stood in his way.

His entire person was akin to an unsheathed saber. A green radiance emanated from his body, and a vague dragon phantom was visible around him. The dragon accompanied his sabers, unleashing an unstoppable might. With a few slashes, more than 10 devils collapsed onto the ground.

He's incredible, thought Xiang Shaoyun inwardly.

He found that this person was only a sixth-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivator, but the man still easily sliced apart the peak Devil Sovereign as if they were vegetables. Xiang Shaoyun was a fourth-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivator, but not even he could kill peak Devil Sovereigns so easily.

From his observation, he found that each slash of the man's saber looked simple yet wasn't simple at all. Each of his saber strikes was sharp and accurate, never missing a single hit.

Xiang Shaoyun believed that his combat sense was excellent, but this person had an even more impressive combat sense. After a short while, over 100 devils were killed. The ground was filled with puddles of blood, as though this was a scene from hell.

After the man killed all the devils, he glanced in Xiang Shaoyun's direction before proceeding to collect all the devil cores one by one. After he was done, he started harvesting the devils' body parts. He seemed incredibly fussy and wouldn't even give those below the sovereign grade a second glance.

Xiang Shaoyun knew that the man had noticed him, so he decided to stop concealing himself. He walked out and praised, "Excellent saber techniques!"

The man continued harvesting the corpses as though he had not heard anything.

Xiang Shaoyun wasn't angered. He knew that people with such strength would often be proud and aloof. It wouldn't be easy for him to approach such a person.

"Since we're lucky enough to meet each other, why don't we have a drink? It's on me," offered Xiang Shaoyun.

This time, the man spoke, "Get lost!"

He didn't speak much, but his words were laced with thick killing intent, as though he was going to kill Xiang Shaoyun as well if Xiang Shaoyun kept bothering him.

Xiang Shaoyun smiled and said, "What's the point of keeping to yourself? This is a 1,000-year-old liquor. It's an excellent liquor!"

He then took out a jar of liquor and started drinking. He had obtained the liquor from the Holy Hall. As the son-in-law, it wasn't hard for him to get some good liquor from the hall.

While Xiang Shaoyun was drinking, a sharp energy saber approached his throat. The attack was incomparably fast, akin to a viper that had attacked suddenly from concealment. Just as the saber was about to reach Xiang Shaoyun's throat, he moved aside and avoided the slash.

"That's rude. I offered you a drink, yet you tried to kill me?" said Xiang Shaoyun with a smirk.

In truth, he had been itching for a fight.
