Chapter 821 “The Demon Realm’s Crisis (6)”
Base of the mountain.
The hearts of these elders were all thumping with excitement for they’re so close to their goal. However, things don’t always pan out the way one wishes. Right when they’re about to head inside and succeed, Senior Wei promptly got hold of the girl in pink to stop their movement.
“You all are certain the king is inside this mountain?” his eyes scanning the demon elders with suspicion.
Growing heavy in the face, Fourth Elder flashes a beam of cunning in his eye: “Of course he is, you only need to come with us to meet him.”
The senior chuckled at this blatant lie. Turning his attention back to the lady, a devious smirk appears: “Miss, the terrain here is too complex and rough, you shouldn’t bother yourself by going up this mountain. Since their king is going to be your pet anyways, have him come down instead. One should know who is the owner and who is the pet.”
This idea promptly causes the missy to light up with glee in her already unpleasant face. She was being impatient earlier so the notion of setting an example never even crossed her mind.
“That idea is perfectly logical. Where’s your king? Tell him to get down here to see me!” Whisking her sleeve as she took a seat at one of the tree stumps nearby, she looks down at the several demon elders whom were completely taken aback by this sudden turn of event.
We were so close! Only one step away, only one step…. If they go up the mountain then Lady Suzaku can definitely slay these invaders! The demon elders all thought of something similar and dreaded their own failure.
“From what I see, your so-called king isn’t even here in the Demon Realm, am I right?” Senior Wei begins mocking the other side with his smug grin.
Stunned by this idea, the girl immediately swings her head around to the senior before turning back to the demon elders. One could clearly see the surge of anger swelling up from within: “You old farts dare deceive me? Someone come tie these animals up! I like to see if their so-called king will come to save them or not!”
……
At the same time while that was occurring, a group of people had just arrived at the border between the human world and the Demon Realm.
“Yan Yan, we’re almost there.” Di Cang’s iris had sank in after seeing the mountains of corpses lying across the ground, “I only left for a bit, how dare these people make a mess of my world!”
Bai Yan as well was showing a frown at this horrid sight: “Where are the powerful masters of the Demon Realm? Shouldn’t they at least defend the weaker demons?”
When flying over here, the group has already learned of the details and what’s happening. According to the reports, there’s a girl who suddenly barged into the Demon Realm after the seal was broken. Together with her followers, they captured every demon beast they could get their hands on: the strong would be forcibly bind to a blood contract to be used as slaves, the weak murdered without a second thought. That’s the main reason for the huge flock of demons coming out to find Di Cang, they needed his help.
Di Cang’s complexion got heavy at his wife’s question: “The elite fighters have all been sent away to a secret domain for training so they’re not around to defend the realm. Aside from First Elder and State Teacher, there’s no one capable of putting up a fight.”
Suzaku couldn’t leave the mountain so of course she’s not included in the man’s equation. As to why Di Cang and his followers would be so careless as to leave their home base defenseless, that has to do with the seal as well. Over the years, no one could readily attack the Demon Realm due to the place being secluded from the rest of the world, making it almost pointless to keep exceptionally powerful individuals at ready.
“Baddie Father!” Lighting up in his big blue eyes, Bai Xiachen shoots up like a kid who’s found a new toy. “I also want to go into that secret domain for training! I will enhance my strength and protect Mother!”
