Jiu Shen’s expression was still calm as he faced the emperor’s inquiry. He glanced at Elyk’s face and noticed that the man looked a lot older than usual. The death of his two sons might have greatly affected this valiant man. Thinking about this, Jiu Shen felt quite sorry for him, but he still put on a poker face.
When the three girls noticed the serious atmosphere, they ceased their chattering and remained silent. Even Ice who was usually insensitive about matters was surprisingly quiet.
The former emperor shook his head and sighed. Although his two grandsons didn’t have the best personalities, they still possess his bloodline. Their death brought him a wave of anger and a sense of loss.
“Elyk, I don’t know if you have noticed it, but your second son Arslan is either dead or taken captive, but from how the demons usually do things, Arslan should be dead. The man taking on his appearance is a demon from the Crimson Fiend Continent. I haven’t been here for long in Beltran City, so I’m not certain when that demon came here. As for the identity of that demon… He is a demon prince… His name is Amon…” Jiu Shen’s words made Elyk tremble and he almost broke the armrest of his chair. He then took a deep breath and calmed his shaking nerves. Elyk already had his suspicions when he noticed a few changes in Arslan, but he didn’t take it to heart. Only now did he realize how stupid he was to not even notice how a demon managed to sneak into his territory. Perhaps even his father failed to discover the demon’s identity.
Looking at Elyk’s frowning expression, Jiu Shen slowly leaned back on his chair as he said. “If you want, I can bring you to that side to see that demon, but let me remind you… He is a son of the Demon Emperor, an expert at the Void God Realm…”
Void God Realm!
Elyk’s frown became deeper when he heard Jiu Shen’s words. An expert at that level can destroy an entire city with a wave of his hand. Even his father who was now a Nascent God Realm cultivator could not last a breath in front of such a peak expert!
The former emperor’s eyebrows jump. Void God Realm… He wasn’t even worth mentioning in the face of such a being…
Sigh.
Elyk sighed heavily as he rubbed his temples. A look of helplessness covered his face as he leaned on his chair. Perhaps he had no chance for revenge… However, when he looked at Jiu Shen who still had the same unchanging expression, a thought came to his mind, but he didn’t say it out loud. He knew that asking Jiu Shen to avenge his sons was definitely impossible and he already owed the man too much.
“I want to see him in person.” Those were the only words that left Elyk’s mouth. His voice contained unconcealed anger as he uttered those words. He tried to hide his rage, but the series of bad news made it difficult for him to control his emotions.
Jiu Shen slowly nodded his head. “Alright. You can come with me when I go back to that place.”
“Thank you, Sect Master Jiu Shen…” Elyk nodded at Jiu Shen gratefully.
***
Great Demon Empire.
Amon stepped out of the castle with a dark look on his face. Although Demon Emperor Balmond did not scold him verbally for his failure in the Profound Dragon Continent, he noticed the Demon Emperor’s dissatisfaction.
He planned things for a long time and just as he was about to complete his objective, Jiu Shen suddenly came and ruined everything! Amon’s veins bulged as he thought of Jiu Shen’s expressionless face. “Fuck!”
“Hehe. I wonder who angered my adorable little brother…” A voice that carried a hint of mischief and disdain suddenly traveled to Amon’s ears. His face changed as he swiftly turned his gaze.
Cornelia Bloodfallen. The eldest daughter of Demon Emperor Balmond. Although she was a woman, she was the crown princess and the first in line to the throne.
Her beautiful face carried a coquettish smile as she seductively walked towards Amon. The pair of black wings on her back gently bounced in her every step. The demon prince gulped hard as he looked at this woman. He took a step back and hurriedly bit his tongue to recover his senses.
Freaking hell! This suċċubus’ art of seduction has already improved to this level?! Just how strong is she now?!
Amon stared at her warily as he hid his fear. This beautiful lady was his half-sister, the daughter of his father with the Queen who had a noble suċċubus bloodline. Her talent was the best among all the Demon Emperor’s children and she was also the strongest among the younger generation of the Demon Race!
“Cornelia!” Amon gritted his teeth as he put on a fearless look.
Cornelia giggled amorously when she saw his reaction. She then lifted her hands and lightly touched Amon’s cheeks, making the demon prince flinch.
“Even after so long, you still haven’t grown up, my little brother. Hehehe…”
Amon shivered when he smelled Cornelia’s warm and fragrant breath. He swiftly pushed her hands away and took a step back, causing another wave of laughter from the suċċubus.
“Cornelia, don’t push me too far! You-” Cornelia’s figure disappeared and Amon suddenly felt a dainty finger blocking his lips, preventing him from speaking further.
“My little brother, why are you so guarded against your cute and charming sister? You are making me sad…” Amon almost pissed his pants when he heard the voice from behind him. He did not even see when Cornelia moved!
“You…You’re already a Demon Lord (Nascent God Realm)?! How can this be?! Impossible!” Amon fearfully swatted her hand away from his face. A look of shock and disbelief covered his contorting face.
Hearing his words, Cornelia giggled as she coyly winked at him. “I’ll find you later for a chat, little brother. For now, your sister will go meet His Majesty first. Hehehe.”
After saying those words, she left a wave of lilac fragrance in the air as she elegantly walked away.
Amon immediately fled when he heard the suċċubus’ words. He dared not remain here any longer. He was already planning where to hide to avoid meeting her later….
