283: The Five Dragons Pulling the Palace – how imposing!

The ox-demon revealed a hint of confusion and asked in a rough voice.

The situation regarding the new Head of the Shen Family had now spread throughout the entire Heavenly Demon Realm and even the Heaven Abyss. Although the Yao Race kept shouting about destroying Shen Nian and White Jade Capital, they could not deny one thing.

Even though this new Head of the Shen Family had a low Realm, his combat power and talent were truly fierce!

It was no wonder he had ascended to the position of Emperor Shen at such a young age.

Only twenty years old, at the Void Returning Fourth Layer, possessing a thirty-six layer immortal palace, wielding an incredibly terrifying sword-based Divine Ability suspected to be of the immortal grade, and having a Physical Body comparable to the top Bloodline of the Royal Family of the Demon Realm.

He was on the must-kill list of the Heavenly Demon Palace!

The bounty reward even far exceeded that of a Peak Hedao of the Human Race!

A spot to enter the Heavenly Demon Palace!

This was undoubtedly lethally attractive to the ten thousand clans of the Heavenly Demon Realm.

Therefore, all the ten thousand clans of the Heavenly Demon Realm and the Five Great Royal Clans that could come had arrived. This was an extremely rare scene where the Your Highnesses of the Five Great Royal Clans of the Monster Realm gathered, excluding, of course, Demon Xiang Wu of the Xiangliu Clan.

Even many great demons who had been in seclusion attempting to breakthrough to the Emperor Realm had emerged, all for the sake of Shen Nian!

"Heh, you're overthinking it. If that Shen Nian truly had the strength to kill a Your Highness of the Royal Clan in seconds, would he still be hiding within the borders of the Human Race?" The horse-demon sneered, revealing an extremely ugly face, his sharp fangs flashing with blood-colored light.

"Shouldn't he have come to the Heaven Abyss?"

"Think about it, how many days has the hunting plan been going on? Our Yao Race Prodigies have almost broken through the Heaven Abyss, and he's still nowhere to be seen, right?"

"According to my analysis, some rumors must be true. That sword strike Shen Nian unleashed at the time did not come from his own hand, but from that person in White Jade Capital..."

The so-called hunting plan was a wager set by the Your Highnesses of the Royal Family of the Demon Realm, competing to see which clan could kill more Human Race Prodigies within seven days...

Upon hearing this, the ox-demon nodded slightly and muttered, "That makes some sense..."

Meanwhile.

Rumble!

A powerful aura instantly permeated the air.

Just then, above the sea of clouds formed by purple Demonic Qi, five colossal creatures emerged, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. They exuded a terrifying aura no weaker than the Void Return Fifth Layer. They were black flood dragons, their bodies covered in pitch-black scales, radiating an eerie dao rhyme. The dragon eyes of these five flood dragons were blood-red, and materialized Evil Qi formed strange visions swirling around them, within which it seemed there were piles of white bones and endless screams.

And on each of these five black flood dragons was a golden chain. The other end of the chain was connected to a magnificent, massive palace. The palace was three stories high, with the bottom floor filled with blood-Qi, where several Human Race Cultivators were imprisoned, nailed to wooden stakes, in a miserable state.

The top was an open-air platform, resplendent with gold and jade, decorated very luxuriously.

Five Dragons pulling a palace, how dominating!

"Your Highness Ao Wei has returned!"

"Are those the people from the Tuoba Clan?"

"Isn't that the Prodigy of this generation of the Tuoba Clan, Tuoba Qiong?"

"Hahaha, satisfying! The Human Race should be our Yao Race's rations like this. Tell these human cattle, who is the master of this world!"

"I wonder if Your Highness Ao Wei will bestow a few women from the Tuoba Clan upon us, hehehe..."

On the main avenue of the Demon Capital, countless Yao Race members looked up with immense excitement, their expressions burning with fervor. Previously, because Shen Nian had forcefully broken into the Heavenly Demon Realm and, together with the Fuyao Sword Immortal of White Jade Capital, swept through the Xiangliu Clan, the morale of the Yao Race had weakened significantly.

But since the hunting plan began during this period, the morale of the Yao Race had greatly increased!

At this very moment.

On the top floor of the palace pulled by the five dragons, on a massive royal chair cast from purple gilded gold, a figure draped in a golden robe leaned back. One hand was kneading the mangled remains of a woman who no longer looked human, while the other hand supported his own massive head. Between his half-open and half-closed eyes, a thick dao rhyme radiated, and his purple pupils were filled with a hint of indifference and boredom.

It seemed that this kind of ordinary female Cultivator was already extremely difficult to stimulate him. And his identity was self-evident. Ao Wei! The First Your Highness of the Azure Black Dragon Clan!

Among the Five Great Royal Clans of the Heavenly Demon Realm, although the Azure Black Dragon Clan was ranked third, this generation was different, solely because of the appearance of his younger brother, a Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, with a Bloodline returning to the ancestors!

He had a very deep bond with his younger brother, and he himself possessed an eight-clawed talent, so the two brothers were famous among the Royal Family of the Demon Realm in the Heavenly Demon Realm!

Most importantly, both brothers loved to abuse and kill women!

The Dragon Clan was lecherous by nature, and the two brothers were even more so, without any restraint at all. In their eyes, women were just tools, whether Human or Yao!

There was even a time when his younger brother reached out his demonic claws towards the cousin of the Elder Princess of the Tengshe Clan, and in the end, it was he who took the blame for his brother, which showed their deep brotherly affection.

"Shen Nian..."

"I really didn't expect it. I have to thank that idiot Demon Xiang Wu for appearing, otherwise the one who might have fallen would have been me..." Ao Wei whispered to himself, a sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth. Although he had dragon horns and dragon scales on his cheeks, he could still be considered handsome.

Previously, he had been hiding in the Heaven Abyss, waiting for this Young Master of the Shen Family to appear, and then killing him. This was an order from his father, the reason being the incident at the Heavenly Demon Cave; this Young Master of the Shen Family had ruined his father's plan that had been laid out for thousands of years, and he truly deserved to die!

But he didn't expect that while he was waiting, news came that Shen Nian had become the Head of the Shen Family, killed Demon Xiang Wu with a single sword strike, and forcefully broken into the Heavenly Demon Realm.

Even though he had a Void Return Peak guardian with him and many trump cards, he couldn't help but feel some lingering fear.

He had always been steady and cautious, never fighting an unprepared battle. Whenever there was even the slightest possibility of a threat to himself, he would take a detour, which was completely opposite to the unruly personality of other Your Highnesses of the Royal Clans.

This had resulted in Ao Wei never encountering a crisis in all these years, and the biggest one was only suffering a minor injury.

Facing this young Head of the Shen Family now, if it were based on his previous preparations, he really wouldn't dare to say he was certain of victory. After all, the Shen Family was not weak; it was not impossible for a Void Return Peak Cultivator to be by Shen Nian's side. If it hadn't been for the appearance of Demon Xiang Wu, which allowed him to encounter Shen Nian, the result would likely be his death.

He knew his own strength very well; he and Demon Xiang Wu were evenly matched. If Shen Nian could kill Demon Xiang Wu with a single sword, he could also kill him with a single sword.

But it was different now! Now, the top powerhouses of the Monster Realm below the Hedao Realm were almost all gathered, and even that leading figure of the younger generation of the Monster Realm was sitting in the Heaven Abyss. With such great confidence, Ao Wei was no longer afraid.

He was hunting the Human Race with great fanfare just to get Shen Nian to come to the Heaven Abyss, so that he could be strangled in the cradle.

After all, the other party's talent was something that even the Heavenly Demon Palace feared, and they had even started to take action against the people around him in advance...

The next second.

Ao Wei spoke softly, his voice cold. "Uncle, how many days has it been? The time for the hunting wager is almost up. That Shen Nian wouldn't be too afraid to come, would he?"

Beside him, a figure was hidden in the shadows. If this figure hadn't spoken, no one would have discovered his existence at all.

"The Shen Family are not fools, but they are most susceptible to this kind of open scheme. Your Highness, rest assured, I dare to bet that Shen Nian will definitely come to the Heaven Abyss. Perhaps he has already snuck in here at this moment..."

A somewhat hoarse old man's voice sounded like a nightmare, its tone seeming capable of confusing the Divine Soul and mind.

This was one of the two princes of the Azure Black Dragon Clan, the younger brother of Ao Wei's father, a demonic dragon skilled in Divine Soul attacks and assassination. His strength was enough to rival an ordinary Hedao, and he was Ao Wei's guardian.

After finishing, the old man added. "If Your Highness is still worried, once they bring back that Junior Sister of Shen Nian, we can use her as a threat."
