206: The Demon King on the Throne

"I really can't..."

Before the Little Emerald Bird could finish, Chen Heng grabbed its beak.

"If I say you can, you can. If you dare to say you can't again, I'll break off your beak and stick it on your head."

Lifting the Little Emerald Bird from the ground, Chen Heng pressed his face directly against its eyes.

"Understand?"

How could the Little Emerald Bird dare to refuse? The two Demon Lord Realm City Lords were still steaming on the table.

But even if the Little Emerald Bird wanted to nod, its beak was in Chen Heng's hand, so it couldn't move at all.

Chen Heng noticed this and released its beak.

"We'll leave after eating. This Kui Dragon City is yours."

"Do a good job, don't disappoint me."

Chen Heng gently patted the Little Emerald Bird's head, trying to comfort it.

Didn't they say to give a stick and then a big slap... No, it was a stick and then a sweet date.

"I understand, Lord City Lord." The Little Emerald Bird sighed, somewhat helplessly accepting the heavy responsibility of acting City Lord.

If it didn't compromise again, its beak would probably be growing on top of its head soon.

"We've eaten enough, let's go."

Chen Heng wiped his hands on the Little Emerald Bird again, then stood up, intending to depart.

Bai Jun also quickly stood up, but Chen Heng looked at his posture and felt something was off.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing."

"Tell me the truth."

"Really, nothing!"

"Let me see!"

Chen Heng grabbed Bai Jun's cloth bag and found that its weight was surprisingly heavy.

"Where did you get these things?"

Opening the cloth bag, he found it filled with various gold, silver, treasures, and rare Medicinal Materials.

There were also bottle after bottle of Medicinal Pills emitting a strange fragrance.

"Didn't I see that you weren't interested in their treasures? So I just took them..."

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Bai Jun had no choice but to tell the truth.

"You did well!" Chen Heng chuckled and patted Bai Jun's shoulder.

"If it weren't for you, I would have forgotten about this. Thanks, brother!"

Chen Heng very naturally poured the contents of the cloth bag into his own snakeskin bag, then handed the now deflated cloth bag back to Bai Jun.

"Leave me some!" Bai Jun picked up the cloth bag and looked inside, finding that the Medicinal Materials, Materials, and Medicinal Pills were all still there, untouched.

"Heh, did you think I took everything?"

Chen Heng raised an eyebrow and shook the snakeskin bag in his hand.

"Big Brother Chen..." Bai Jun was deeply moved by Chen Heng's gesture.

He hadn't contributed any effort in the battle with the two Demon Lords, spending the entire time watching.

Even so, Chen Heng was willing to share some treasures with him. Such a Big Brother was simply too great!

"Later, help me research what these Medicinal Pills and Medicinal Materials are for. Don't let me eat something bad."

"Oh..."

Stinky man, I still put my trust in the wrong person!

Eastern Demon Alliance Capital, Divine Demon Domain.

Inside the imperial palace, a pulsating black shadow sat on the throne.

"I can only remain conscious for the duration of one incense stick. Speak quickly if there is anything important."

That black shadow was the Demon Emperor of the Eastern Demon Alliance. His eyes were tightly shut, as if he was suppressing something.

His lower body had completely merged with the throne, with only his upper body barely able to move.

And this barely movable upper body was also covered in various tumors, pustules, and tentacles, completely devoid of any semblance of a Demon Emperor.

Yet, the Yao Race below showed extreme respect for the Demon Emperor. A Demon Lord stepped forward and reported everything that had happened in Kui Dragon City to the Demon Emperor, without missing a detail.

"..."

"Both Demon Lords Ji Boduan and Shan Danliang died at the hands of a Human Race member."

"The Demon Cores of those two were also fed by that Human Race member to a flower Snake Demon Lord with a mixed Bloodline."

"Lord Demon Emperor..."

"No rush, let me take a look first." The Demon Emperor opened one eye, and countless soft tentacles fell out of it.

Only when all the tentacles had fallen out did an eye like black crystal appear.

The eyeball flickered twice, and the Demon Emperor frowned simultaneously.

"He didn't use any Qi and Blood at all; he actually beat two Demon Lords to death with brute force."

"If he used his full power, his strength might be comparable to mine."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding Yao Race members were stunned.

Then, there was a chattering commotion.

When did such a powerful Human Race member appear? Why didn't they know?

Weren't those old Human Race monsters all holed up in their own territories? Why would one appear in the Eastern Demon Alliance?

"Silence." The Demon Emperor spoke indifferently.

His voice didn't sound loud, but it instantly silenced the entire imperial palace.

"This person's target is most likely the Jade Fan Kingdom, and judging from the Qi on him, he should be from Great Liang."

"Furthermore, this person also has ties to Qianfa Tower; he has the unique Qi of Qianfa Tower on him."

The Demon Emperor paused, seemingly suppressing something.

"In my current state, I have no time to deal with him. Let him be."

"He did not harm the lesser demons; his target should only be..."

The Demon Emperor frowned. How did he feel that the Human Race member had actually locked onto him in reverse?

The Demon Emperor, having a bad premonition, immediately closed his eyes, and after a while, continued, "Don't mind him. They are just a few Demon Lords from border towns. The best outcome is to let him be satisfied."

"Moreover... Ugh!"

Mid-sentence, the Demon Emperor spat out a mouthful of pus and blood, which also contained many soft tentacles.

"The most urgent task is to cultivate the First Prince to continue suppressing the Evil Dragon. I can only last five more years at most."

"Once five years are up, if the First Prince still hasn't reached the Emperor Realm, that Evil Dragon will surely break the Seal."

"The consequences then are unimaginable."

"You may all leave. General Feng and the First Prince, stay."

"Yes!" The Yao Race below responded and went about their business.

"What are Your Majesty's orders?" A strong man, completely black and with an indiscernible face, knelt on one knee before the Demon Emperor.

"General Feng, I am growing weaker, and the black qi's erosion will become more severe. Any Yao Race below the Demon Lord Realm is at risk of being contaminated and eroded."

The Demon Emperor's voice sounded very low.

"Inform all cities and prefectures that any Yao Race member eroded by black qi must be executed on the spot without exception."

"Once the number of Yao Race members eroded by black qi exceeds my limit, that Evil Dragon will break the Seal prematurely, and the Eastern Demon Alliance..."

"No, the entire continent will be polluted by the Evil Dragon."

"Yes, I understand." General Feng nodded and stood up to carry out the Demon Emperor's orders.

"Shuo'er, come here." After General Feng left, the Demon Emperor's cold face actually showed a hint of paternal love.

"Father Emperor." A young man who looked about seventeen or eighteen ran to the Demon Emperor's side.

"Become stronger quickly. Your father's time is running out."

The Demon Emperor smiled bitterly, revealing a hint of helplessness in front of the First Prince.

"It is father who has wronged you, imprisoning your future on such a small throne."

"Father Emperor, the Bloodline of the Demon Emperor flows within me. Suppressing the Evil Dragon is my destiny."

The young man's face showed no resistance, and he spoke very naturally.
