239: Demon King

Tang Family Fortress.

Today was the wedding ceremony for the two newcomers.

But for those unaware, it was a good day, yet for those in the know, it was uncertain if today was truly a good day.

“City Lord, the Fire God Ship has been spotted on its way to Tang Family Fortress.”

A dark figure reported beside Profound Yellow Heaven.

Profound Yellow Heaven hummed in acknowledgment, and the dark figure vanished.

He hadn't expected the Insect Clan's territory to actually send the Fire God Ship; that was meant for crossing the Realm Fire.

It seemed West Continent and Central Continent were indeed as Fire Spirit Yao had said.

“Why are you still sitting here? The wedding ceremony is about to begin.” Fire Fierce Heaven seemed to not take it seriously at all, walking into the room with a smile.

Profound Yellow Heaven frowned and stood up: “That Insect Clan Emperor is almost here.”

“Oh? Isn't it better if he comes to his death? I'd like to see what that Emperor looks like, calling himself an Emperor.”

“The head of a clan shouldn't be foolish; he must have his own foundations. We should still be careful today.” Profound Yellow Heaven reminded him, if his subordinate was that strong, he should only be stronger.

Coming so aggressively, he was probably planning to disrupt the wedding ceremony.

Fire Fierce Heaven patted Profound Yellow Heaven's shoulder: “What's there to be afraid of? If we were afraid, we wouldn't be here today.”

“It's not fear, but a need for cautious handling.”

“You're just like Yao Yao now.” Fire Fierce Heaven gave a wry smile, to be so cautious over the reputation of an Insect Clan Emperor, he might just be a fraud, merely a bit stronger.

Profound Yellow Heaven said nothing: “Let's go, bask in the joyous atmosphere.”

“Xiao Teng came to see me last night, he probably came to see you too.”

Profound Yellow Heaven nodded: “Gu Qiqi is no ordinary person.”

“Oh? You know that too?”

“I know some things, but with Xiao Teng's talent, the person behind Gu Qiqi will also reconsider.”

“Today is truly an interesting day. Has the Sea Clan made any moves?”

“None discovered yet, but that's also very strange.” Profound Yellow Heaven frowned, logically speaking… once the Sea Clan broke the seal, they would immediately seek revenge, what exactly were they doing?

“Being able to break the seal must have alarmed that esteemed individual; naturally, someone will deal with them. We don't need to worry too much.”

Profound Yellow Heaven hummed in agreement, and the two flew towards the wedding ceremony venue.

Xiao Teng and Gu Qiqi's wedding ceremony was a major event in East Continent; forces from all families sent people to congratulate them, most of them being the heads of the forces themselves.

This was not just a simple wedding ceremony, but also a place to make new friends. Even before the ceremony began, these force leaders started chatting with each other. Finding a reliable ally was crucial for the development of their forces.

As Profound Yellow Heaven and Fire Fierce Heaven arrived, the scene instantly quieted, and respectful greetings rang out.

“Greetings, City Lord, greetings, Pavilion Master.”

Fire Fierce Heaven had already put away his frivolous demeanor, slowly sitting in the VIP section. The small table in front of him was laden with various spirit fruits and spirit liquids; if those items were released, cultivators would scramble for them.

Profound Yellow Heaven spoke: “Today, we won't return until we're drunk.”

Everyone was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, not expecting the usually serious City Lord Profound Yellow Heaven to say such a thing. The atmosphere instantly livened up.

Fire Fierce Heaven teased: “You've really opened up.”

Profound Yellow Heaven smiled without speaking, taking a sip of spirit liquid: “Where's Yao Yao?”

“I sent her back first; after all, it's a bit dangerous today.”

“You know fear too.”

“Learning from you, being cautious.”

Profound Yellow Heaven smiled and shook his head.

Suddenly, the clear sky in the distance darkened, bringing with it a thick sense of oppression.

Profound Yellow Heaven's brow furrowed, and he put down the spirit liquid. Fire Fierce Heaven snorted coldly: “These demons want to join in the fun too, truly making a big deal out of nothing!”

“They want to reap the benefits, or perhaps see that Insect Clan Emperor.”

“It seems we've been too lenient with the demon race all these years.” Fire Fierce Heaven's killing intent overflowed; if the demon race didn't come in person, who wouldn't know their intentions?

Profound Yellow Heaven said in a deep voice: “Demon Emperor, don't let your demonic aura taint this joyous occasion!”

The dark cloud stopped, and a figure descended from within the clouds.

Everyone looked on.

After all, the Demon Emperor was very difficult to see; some people might not even see him in their entire lives.

However, upon seeing the Demon Emperor's figure, everyone was surprised. The Demon Emperor was not as ugly as imagined; in fact, she was a peerless beauty.

For a moment, everyone was captivated by Demon Emperor Qian Ye's graceful figure, her white hair even more striking.

“This Emperor has come uninvited, and hopes the City Lord will not take offense.” The ghostly voice seemed to possess a magical power, as if it plunged everyone into an illusion.

“Since you've come, then so be it.” As Profound Yellow Heaven's voice rang out, it instantly shattered Qian Ye's little trick, bringing everyone back to their senses.

They couldn't help but inwardly exclaim how powerful the Demon Emperor was, enchanting everyone with just a single sentence.

“Thank you, City Lord. This Emperor has also brought a friend.”

Then, a tall figure appeared.

The Beast Emperor!

A five-meter-tall bull-headed beastman descended, his bull horns already whitened. Though still majestic, there was a hint of being tamed, at least not daring to look directly at Profound Yellow Heaven like Qian Ye.

Seeing that Qian Ye had even brought the Beast Emperor, Profound Yellow Heaven's expression wasn't good.

“Hmph, I told you, they should have been dealt with long ago.” Fire Fierce Heaven said coldly.

“A guest is a guest.” Profound Yellow Heaven said lightly. In this kind of setting, maintaining decorum was important.

However, Xiong had already begun arranging strong individuals; as long as they dared to cause trouble, they would be immediately slain.

“Thank you, City Lord.” Qian Ye smiled faintly, descending towards the VIP section.

Then she directly sat in Xiong's seat.

Upon closer inspection, there were only three seats in this VIP section.

And the Beast Emperor did not sit, merely standing behind Qian Ye. At this moment, he seemed less like the head of a clan and more like a guard.

But for the sake of his clan, this Beast Emperor had no choice but to act this way.

His presence here was already very clear: he stood with the Demon Emperor. What kind of suppression the Beast Clan would face next, the Beast Emperor did not know.

“Niu Cheng, you've truly disappointed me a bit.” Profound Yellow Heaven said faintly.

That's right, Niu Cheng was the Beast Emperor's name.

Niu Cheng said nothing, but Qian Ye smiled faintly: “The Beast Emperor merely seeks a way to survive, City Lord, you can't force people to their deaths, can you?”

“Niu Cheng, this City Lord has already sent your people to Central Continent. Is this how you repay me?” Profound Yellow Heaven was very displeased. Originally controlling the Beast Clan, now they had suddenly broken free, making Profound Yellow Heaven feel utterly disgraced.

Looking at the Demon Emperor's mocking expression, he really should have listened to Fire Fierce Heaven's advice earlier.

Qian Ye chuckled softly: “Then how did this Emperor hear that the City Lord tampered with the Soul Locking Ring, intending to use someone else's hand to kill?”

Instantly, a surge of killing intent welled up in Profound Yellow Heaven's heart.

“Niu Cheng, she is trying to sow discord.”

However, Niu Cheng didn't believe it, because he had been deceived too many times. Even knowing he was being used by Qian Ye, there were always benefits.

He didn't want to be used by the human race and end up with no benefits at all.

Seeing Niu Cheng remain silent, Profound Yellow Heaven knew he had made up his mind. Troubles truly came in pairs.

“Where is that Insect Clan Emperor? Has he not arrived yet?” Qian Ye asked curiously, her purpose for coming this time was to see him.

Qian Ye had just finished speaking.

The silhouette of the Fire God Ship appeared on the horizon.
