I Am Overlord-Chapter 1804: Threaten

The Imperial Nether Clan's move was simple. They arrived with Ming Fu, and Ming Cigeng once again said, "Nineteenth prince, your mother is here. Are you not going to meet her?"

Everyone heard him clearly, and their expressions turned complicated.

"Is that imperial nether woman really Xiang Shaoyun's mother?" asked someone doubtfully.

"I think that might be true. The Imperial Nether Clan is one of the four paramount devil clans. They won't joke about this," said someone else.

"In that case, it is understandable why Xiang Shaoyun is capable of using the Imperial Nether Clan abilities. Looks like that kid is really a mongrel!"

"Looks like the Ziling Sect has really betrayed humanity. No wonder even the Guardians Guild can't ignore them anymore."

...

Xiang Shaoyun did not show himself. Rather, Xiang Yangzhan appeared with his lightning spear.

As Xiang Yangzhan looked at the imperial nether woman with seals running around her body, his gaze turned soft. Soon, his face turned furious as he said, "Devils, do not talk nonsense! How can my son's mother be a devil? Scram! Or else, I'll make sure you regret being here!"

The sealed woman shivered, and tears started trailing down her face. She was Ming Fu, Xiang Shaoyun's mother, and the woman Xiang Yangzhan had once pledged to spend his life with.

She was supposed to be happy to be able to see Xiang Yangzhan again. After all, the two had been separated for many years. But his words stabbed into her heart like the sharpest of blades, causing her to suffocate from her pain.

"Princess Ming Fu, do tell us. Is Xiang Shaoyun, the nineteenth prince, your son?" asked Ming Cigeng, ignoring Xiang Yangzhan's declaration.

He knew that Ming Fu had been waiting to see her son and her husband all these years. Now that her wish was fulfilled, he believed that she would make the smart choice. After all, the Nether Monarch had promised that so long as she spoke the truth, the nineteenth prince would be the Young Nether Monarch. At that time, she would be reunited with her family.

The Nether Monarch also promised that if Ming Fu refused, she would no longer be able to reunite with her family. After a short silence, Ming Fu spoke, choking with emotion, "I don't know this Xiang Shaoyun you speak of. How can my son be a human? Stop forcing me to lie."

Ming Cigeng appeared astonished. That was the same for the other imperial nether devils around him. They had not expected Ming Fu to go back on her words.

"Princess Ming Fu, remember the consequences of this," warned Ming Cigeng.

"Hmph. Stop forcing her. What, you're going to start picking a random woman and claiming that she's my son's mother? Devils, you're too shameless," said Xiang Yangzhan with a cold snort. "You're here to force my son out, right? If you can, step over me first!"

He then charged the devils with his spear. He showed no mercy, turning into a thick bolt of lightning and shooting toward Ming Cigeng. Ming Cigeng was naturally not a match for Xiang Yangzhan, who was a peak eighth-stage God.

Before Ming Cigeng could react, a different imperial nether devil stepped forth and unleashed a palm attack, slapping and deflecting Xiang Yangzhan's spear attack.

The new combatant was a Two Revolutions imperial nether devil. His strength was far beyond Xiang Yangzhan. However, Xiang Yangzhan was not immediately defeated. His attack was merely a feign. His actual target was Ming Fu. His goal was to take her from them. But with his strength, it did not seem likely that he would succeed against a Two Revolutions expert.

Before he could reach Ming Fu, a palm reached out to grab him. At the critical moment, a devil vine appeared and whipped the palm, breaking the energy palm apart.

The Two Revolutions devil still wasn't willing to allow Xiang Yangzhan to succeed. He retreated with Ming Cigeng and Ming Fu before unleashing another palm at Xiang Yangzhan. If the devil vine had not dragged Xiang Yangzhan away, he would have probably suffered miserably from the palm strike.

"Father-in-law, let Elder Tree deal with this fight," said Devil Concubine as she appeared with the celestial darkdevil tree.

Her appearance was accompanied by her unique temperament, her presence shining like the brightest sun in the sky. Beside her was the celestial darkdevil tree. The tree was no weaker than the Two Revolutions devil.

"Ok. Be careful. The Imperial Nether Clan is known for their unequaled abilities," said Xiang Yangzhan.

The celestial darkdevil tree's appearance showcased even more of the Ziling Sect's strength. Everyone realized that if the Ziling Sect was not destroyed today, they would probably grow into a superpower akin to the likes of the Guangling Palace, the Immortal Road Chamber, and the Celestial Alliance.

"Just how many experts does the Ziling Sect have? One after another is appearing. They are truly on the brink of becoming a superpower."

"The Ziling Sect is different from other organizations. They are planning to annex the entirety of the Western Desert. In the future, they might even set their eyes on the other regions."

"That is most definitely possible. Not even the Guardians Guild tried doing something like that. The Ziling Sect will only attract the anger of the masses."

"Xiang Shaoyun is still missing. I heard he has also become an exceptional expert. Otherwise, there won't be so many people following him. Did he turn into a coward after all this?"

…

Sounds of discussion rang out all around the sect. Everyone was shocked at how strong the Ziling Sect was and how fast they had grown. Who would have expected that the sect would have grown so quickly in only a dozen years?

As the many experts were fighting each other, more experts from the Celestial Alliance arrived. They started attacking the Ziling Sect from different directions, attempting to overwhelm the sect's defenses.

Xiang Yangzhan and Purple Lightning Marquis did not expect the Celestial Alliance to be so shameless. Fortunately, they had long activated a super god-grade formation around the sect. The formation was barely able to block all the attacks. The Ziling Sect would have been flattened without the formation.

"Damn the Celestial Alliance! After this is over, I'll get revenge on them!" roared Xiang Yangzhan in fury.

"Hehe, do you think you'll be safe hiding in your formation? All of you will die today!" said the Celestial Alliance expert with a sneer. He took out a nine-revolutions grade weapon. That weapon was none other than the Celestial Alliance's divine weapon, the Divine Myriad Bones Spike, a weapon forged from tens of thousands of God bones. It was an extremely terrifying weapon.

The moment the Divine Myriad Bones Spike appeared, cracks appeared in the Ziling Sect's formation. All the Ziling Sect members started despairing. In the moment of crisis, a palm appeared noiselessly and grabbed the spike.
