Chapter 4: Chapter 4: The Humble Shendu!
"Tso Lan... when did you... when did you escape from hell?"
Shendu stared incredulously at Samuel, who stood before him.
Although Tso Lan had taken on a human form, Shendu recognized him instantly as his former brother.
But that was simply impossible!
Demons could not escape from hell.
After the eight great demons were defeated by the immortal gods, they were sealed away in hell for eternity.
By all logic, the eight great demons should have had no chance to escape, as the only way to open the gates of hell was with the Pan Ku Box!
But the Pan Ku Box was left in the human world by the immortal gods, rendering it unreachable to the demons.
Of course, Shendu was an exception.
He had been sent to the human world through the combined efforts of the other demons!
This even included some of Shendu's own power!
In other words, it took the combined strength of all eight demons to send a single demon out!
This was the source of Shendu's astonishment because he knew that the remaining seven demons could not send out another one!
Yet, Tso Lan had somehow appeared...
"What? You seem a little unhappy to see me escape from hell?"
At that moment, Samuel slowly approached Shendu, speaking with a hint of mockery in his tone.
"No... not at all..."
Shendu quickly caught on and his tone became instantly submissive.
"My brother, welcome to this world. With your help, we will surely free our other siblings and rule the entire world!"
Although Shendu didn't know how Tso Lan managed to escape from hell, that no longer seemed important...
What mattered now was that, with Tso Lan's help, he could regain his original power!
Soon, world domination would be within reach!
After all, Tso Lan was the most powerful among the Eight Great Demons...
As Shendu was deep in thought, a sudden and overwhelming force enveloped his soul.
Before he could react, his soul was forcefully ripped from the coiled dragon statue!
"Ah!!!!"
In an instant, a pain from the depths of his soul engulfed Shendu, causing him to roar in agony.
It's important to note that although the coiled dragon statue imprisoned Shendu, it was the only object capable of containing his soul!
Only within the coiled dragon statue could Shendu remain in this world.
If his soul were to leave the statue without the Rat Talisman or the Sheep Talisman, he would be sucked into the depths of hell...
At this moment, Shendu could feel hell drawing his soul closer...
And the one responsible for all this was Tso Lan, not too far away!
"My brother, why... why are you treating me like this!" Shendu cried out in pain as he struggled, looking towards Samuel.
Samuel let out a cold laugh.
"Shendu, don't think that just because I've escaped from hell, I've forgotten what happened back then!"
"Back then, our seven siblings used all our strength to send you out of hell. You promised to release us once you left hell!"
"But what did you do in the end? You forgot the promise you made to me and chose to rule the world alone!"
"And then you were defeated once again by a human sacred warrior, reduced to this miserable state. I'm right, aren't I?"
Because he inherited all of Tso Lan's memories, Samuel held a grudge over this matter!
Shendu was at a loss for words.
Samuel was right; after leaving hell, he had indeed forgotten his promise to the other demons and chose to rule the world alone!
But he never expected to encounter a damnable sacred warrior, Lo Pei!
Not only did Lo Pei defeat him, but he also stripped him of the Twelve Talismans, forcing his soul to reside in the coiled dragon statue...
Shendu despised Lo Pei!
"Ah!!!!"
Suddenly, another wave of intense pain washed over him, and Shendu couldn't help but scream in agony once more.
He could feel that hell was on the verge of devouring his soul... (To be continued.)
