The horde of Demon Clan, aggressive and formidable, was naturally drawn by the spectacle of Wan Qiu True Master slaying the Demon Monarch with his sword.
The leader was also a Demon Monarch, but compared to the one Wan Qiu True Master had previously killed with a single Sword Qi, this Demon Monarch's strength was evidently several stories higher, by far.
He was a Great Demon Monarch, just one step shy of the Demon God Realm beneath the Demon God.
A black Jiao, on the cusp of transforming into a dragon, did not move to attack Wan Qiu True Master immediately. Narrowing his eyes, he maintained a safe distance from Wan Qiu, sending several subordinates at the Demon Emperor Stage to test the waters first.
Of course, their target would not be the obviously Hollow Void Realm cultivator Wan Qiu, but rather the two young people under Wan Qiu's protection.
The black Jiao's actions were meant to force Wan Qiu to make a move and create a better opportunity for himself.
