This guy hiding away basically signifies that his doppelgänger won this battle.

It seems the combat power of this doppelgänger is not bad. Although not as strong as the main body, with its formidable Extreme Yin Ice Power, it can suppress many opponents, and it is quite competent even among the Demon Generals at the Divinity Transformation Level.

"You Gui, let's go!"

The Demon Saint's voice came through.

Crack, the ice mountain formed by Shen Wang's doppelgänger started to show web-like cracks.

Shen Wang's pupils contracted, his face extremely grave: "Senior, are you going to shelter your subordinate in bullying us ordinary Loose Cultivators?"

"When possible, spare others; we do have a marital connection, there's no need to make things so rigid."

The Demon Saint's voice responded to Shen Wang, carrying seemingly endless destructive power, and as he finished speaking, the cracking continued.

In the blink of an eye, the gigantic ice mountain formed by Shen Wang's doppelgänger shattered like fragile porcelain.

The cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, the entire ice mountain started to waver, and with the sound of constant cracking, massive chunks of ice quickly peeled off, fell, and finally collapsed outright.

The Black Stone City Lord was drenched in sweat.

Is this the Demon Saint? What terrifying power!

The cold wind howled past, lifting a sky full of ice fragments; the entire ice mountain was completely shattered, turning to powder just because of a few words from the Demon Saint, its terrifying nature simply beyond imagination.

Shen Wang frowned, the Demon Saint truly worthy of the Refining Void Realm, a power capable of shattering void; the ice mountain of his doppelgänger could not withstand it.

Thud!

The Black Bell turned over, and the old man in black, precisely You Gui, walked out trembling, glaring fiercely: "I will remember this grudge."

"Seeking death!"

A flash of killing intent in Shen Wang's eyes, the doppelgänger swiftly launched an attack, a black Sword Qi piercing through his body.

This was the main body's Sword Dao technique, with even more terrifying attack power.

You Gui spat out a mouthful of blood, clutching the bloody hole in his chest, pointing at Shen Wang: "You..."

"Enough!"

The Demon Saint of the Dark Race seemed a bit angry, an overwhelming pressure appeared instantly, the nearby space directly froze, and Shen Wang's doppelgänger's attack was actually immobilized in place.

Shen Wang stepped forward, the nearby space twisted, surprisingly breaking free from the spatial restraint; he raised his head and said: "Just because I don't make a move doesn't mean I'm truly afraid of you all."

"Which power are you from?"

The Dark Race's Demon Saint had a puzzled uncertainty, unexpectedly feeling some threat from this person, although not much, but his background was definitely not simple, as this person was only at the Demon General's realm.

"Considering I and Youli were able to give birth to descendants so significant that you'd come personally to greet them, do you think my background would be simple?"

Shen Wang could only bluff, otherwise truly making a move would definitely reveal his seams.

Indeed, this statement gave the Dark Race's Demon Saint pause; he too was puzzled why Youli and this person together would give birth to offspring with a Divine Vein; Youli's Holy Blood was not Emperor Blood, unless that drop of Holy Blood had Emperor Level lineage.

Now it seems, the issue might not lie with Youli, but with this mysterious person.

Though uncertain about this person's background, it was definitely not simple. He chuckled: "You Gui really was disrespectful; it's my failure in discipline."

A massive black hand descended from the sky, slamming down on You Gui, who screamed, his bones broken throughout his body, but left him with just one breath, not killed.

"Let this matter end here; sir, feel free to visit our You Race Holy City as a guest."

The big black hand grabbed You Gui and retracted, then the dragon roar echoed, the black dragon in the sky turned, pulling the ancient war chariot away.

Shen Wang watched the black cloud leave, retracting the power from his body, thinking to himself: "The level of this realm is far higher than mine; Demon Saint... Emperor's Son... quite difficult to deal with."

"Master Wang, you're truly bold, that was a Demon Saint after all; if a real fight happens, it could destroy my Black Stone City."

The Black Stone City Lord breathed heavily, his body drenched in sweat, fortunately the fright passed without harming, now left with only lingering fear.

"Such characters shouldn't act recklessly either, otherwise why say so much."

Shen Wang said calmly.

"There are indeed some constraints from the rules, but if truly angered, they won't care much, though my ancestor back then did have some standing, not to the point of a deadly strike over such matters."

The Black Stone City Lord's gaze flickered, smiling: "Master Wang seems extraordinary indeed, not only skilled in Alchemy Technique, but also possessing impressive Divine Techniques."

"Without some skill, how could one dare to walk this world?"

Shen Wang remained noncommittal, since he had put on a facade, he might as well continue to keep these people from getting ideas.

"You're right, young brother."

The Black Stone City Lord laughed, asked no more, observing the again-destroyed gate, realized the battle was exceptionally fierce; this person's doppelgänger could exchange blows with the Dark Race's Demon Venerable, ultimately pressing him back; the strength of this person was likely no less than his own, potentially even stronger.

He said: "Young brother, this place is small; how about I arrange a large courtyard for you, more comfortable."

"No need, I'm already accustomed to living here."

Shen Wang shook his head, the place had array formations set up, moving would require re-arranging, unnecessary.

"Alright, I'll have someone fix the gate immediately; let's set up array formations on the gate and walls as well this time, to avoid further damage."

The City Lord laughed.

"It's not my door that's broken, it's the outsiders that are."

Shen Wang was indifferent.

"As long as Master Wang is happy. How about now we go have a drink to relieve a thousand worries?"

The City Lord invited.

"Sure."

Shen Wang nodded, since he had revealed his strength, he might as well continue to show off to deter some sinister folks.

He retracted his doppelgänger and said to Susu: "You come with me to the feast."

"Yes, husband."

Susu followed behind Shen Wang, entered the city with the Black Stone City Lord, drawing awe-struck gazes from the surrounding Demon Cultivators.

This person turned out to be a Demon Venerable as well, even his doppelgänger was so formidable, the main body must be even more extraordinary.

The City Lord cordially invited Shen Wang to the City Lord's Mansion, intending to learn more about his background and skills, as well as to discuss alchemy matters.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, all the servants and attendants bustled about; this time they were entertaining a Demon Venerable, and the banquet was of the highest standard.

Shi Zhixiang arrived with people to greet them, the City Lord introduced: "Master Wang, this is one of my less accomplished sons, the best of the short ones, only he can inherit my position."

Shen Wang saw, suddenly raised his hand, releasing Evil Qi, with a bang, Shi Zhixiang flew backward, vomiting a mouthful of blood.

The City Lord's face changed, glaring at Shen Wang, he demanded: "Master Wang, this old man warmly entertains you, why deal such a heavy hand to my son?".

Shi Zhixiang painfully climbed back up: "Senior, what do you mean by this?"

"You know very well what you've done."

Shen Wang's eyes were icy, the Evil Qi even stronger: "You were disrespectful to my wife, this is your lesson."

The City Lord was stunned, this was indeed not something Shen Wang invented, it did happen, he even witnessed it himself, could only admit his son was too incompetent.

He said awkwardly: "Zhixiang was only verbally disrespectful, there was no real action, I hope Master Wang could give some face."

"Precisely because he didn't take action, I only offered a lesson, now immediately apologize to my wife Susu."

Shen Wang's face was cold, leaving no room for debate.

"Husband,"

Susu was surprised, but hearing it was for her, she was moved to tears.

She had a low status, always treated differently, Shen Wang genuinely cared for her.

Having such a husband, what more could a wife ask for.

Shi Zhixiang struggled up from the ground, head bowed, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, but fear was more evident.

He bent low, trembling as he said: "Sir...sir, I didn't know Susu was your wife, I...I was wrong, Susu, I'm willing to apologize."

Shen Wang snorted coldly: "Remember this lesson, and stay away from my wife in the future."

"Get out of here, disgraceful thing."

The City Lord's face was ugly as he scolded in anger.

Shi Zhixiang stepped aside with his head down, not daring to say much more, but the resentment in his eyes only grew stronger.

Shen Wang squinted, Shi Zhixiang seemed not a good person, and the Elixir the Black Stone City Lord wanted to refine for this guy was purely a waste.

"Father, I heard a distinguished guest has arrived."

At this moment, a beautiful woman walked in.

Her figure was graceful, her steps light, her skin as white as snow, as smooth and translucent as mutton fat, radiating a captivating luster.
