103: I can't stand any injustice!

Tang Tian and Ke Ke had only just returned to Lord Xiaoyaos Estate when Lord Xiaoyao also came back.

"Tang Tian, your performance just now was excellent."

Looking at Tang Tian, Lord Xiaoyao praised him without reservation.

"It was alright!"

Grinning, Tang Tian said modestly.

"If this Old Ancestor hadn't been there just now, what would you have done?"

Staring into Tang Tian's eyes, Lord Xiaoyao asked another question, not without curiosity.

"I would have still gotten rid of that idiot!"

"At worst, I would just run away."

Without any hesitation, Tang Tian said decisively.

"Mainly, I'm just someone who can't stand even a little bit of injustice!"

Then, he added with an innocent look.

Hearing Tang Tian's words, Lord Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel a suffocating sensation.

This kid is truly a madman!

He thought with a bitter smile.

Lord Xiaoyao was very clear that Tang Tian probably wasn't just talking.

It was likely he would actually do it!

Beside them, Ke Ke looked at the two with a slight smile.

In her heart, her Grandpa Nie and Tang Tian were her closest people.

It was the best thing for the two of them to get along harmoniously.

As they chatted, Tang Tian and Lord Xiaoyao changed the topic.

"Grandpa Nie, in these past years, Lord Xiaoyaos Estate has always been targeted by the The Royal Family. How have you endured it?"

Suddenly, Tang Tian asked out of the blue.

"In recent years, this Old Ancestor has indeed been a bit overly loyal."

Sighing, Lord Xiaoyao said with a bitter smile.

"However, it won't be like this anymore."

Then, he added decisively.

After speaking, he looked at Ke Ke with a mix of guilt and determination.

This time, the New Emperor Selection of the Demon Race absolutely could not be messed with by them.

Lord Xiaoyao thought to himself.

Lord Xiaoyao's words made both Tang Tian and Ke Ke very happy.

With Lord Xiaoyao's words, the two of them felt relieved.

When Tang Tian learned about the New Emperor Selection, he couldn't help but be stunned.

In less than a month, the Prodigies of the Demon Clan Royal Family would participate in the New Emperor Selection?

The person who ultimately stood out would become the new Emperor?

Or rather, the Crown Prince?

The New Emperor Selection was held once every two hundred years?

"Does every new Emperor come from the The Royal Family?"

Immediately, Tang Tian was amused.

"Grandpa Nie, Ke Ke, don't you think there's something fishy about this?"

"It can't be that all the top Prodigies come from their branch, can it?"

Then, Tang Tian said with a playful expression.

"I've long felt that this wasn't normal."

"But, Grandpa Nie has never believed it..."

Shaking her head with a bitter smile, Ke Ke said with a hint of helplessness.

Hearing their words, Lord Xiaoyao gave an awkward smile.

"Actually, according to this Old Ancestor's investigation, there are indeed considerable problems."

"During the Royal Family Prodigy Trial, the The Royal Family takes the opportunity to eliminate a large number of top Prodigies."

"Also, it's always been the case that the peerless Prodigies of the various Royal Family forces mysteriously disappear or die, which is probably also related to them."

As he spoke, Lord Xiaoyao's face revealed a chilling expression.

A hint of killing intent also burst forth from his eyes.

Seeing Lord Xiaoyao's expression and gaze, Tang Tian was stunned.

This is?

Ke Ke, on the other hand, fell into deep thought.

Her mood also became a little low.

Seeing this, Tang Tian instantly understood what was going on.

Because Ke Ke had told him about her parents.

Her parents were extremely Prodigious individuals.

However, when she was very young, they mysteriously disappeared.

So?

Was their mysterious disappearance directly related to the The Royal Family?

The more Tang Tian thought about it, the more he felt this was possible.

Otherwise, why would Grandpa Nie react this way?

Tang Tian secretly guessed in his heart.

Sure enough!

Soon, Lord Xiaoyao's words confirmed Tang Tian's guess.

"According to this Old Ancestor's investigation, the The Royal Family has not hesitated to eliminate some existences that posed a threat to them."

"Whether they were peerless Prodigies or top-tier powerhouses."

"If this Old Ancestor is not mistaken, Ke Ke's parents' mysterious disappearance was their doing..."

When he reached this point, Lord Xiaoyao's expression was not very good.

Beside Tang Tian, Ke Ke's face instantly turned extremely grim.

A cold light also flickered in her eyes.

So it was true?

Tang Tian murmured to himself.

When he first learned about the Demon Race's rules, and also found out that every new Emperor came from the The Royal Family, he knew there was something very fishy.

The difference among the Demon Clan Royal Family was not that great.

The most obvious difference was merely resources.

Bloodline Power, talent, and such were not something that could be artificially controlled.

Could it be that no peerless Prodigies could emerge from any other branch of the Royal Family except the The Royal Family?

Without even thinking, he knew this was impossible.

"Then what is Grandpa Nie's attitude towards this New Emperor Selection?"

Breaking the silence, Tang Tian asked.

Ke Ke, beside him, also unconsciously looked at Lord Xiaoyao.

"This Old Ancestor demands fairness and impartiality, and this Old Ancestor has great confidence in Ke Ke."

"If anyone tries to play tricks, then don't blame this Old Ancestor for being impolite."

Without any hesitation, Lord Xiaoyao said decisively.

Once Ke Ke became the new Emperor, many things could be investigated.

This was Lord Xiaoyao's inner thought.

"I also have great confidence in Ke Ke."

"It's just... I'm afraid the The Royal Family won't honestly follow the rules, will they?"

"After all, with Ke Ke's current strength, none of their Prodigies will be a match for Ke Ke."

Frowning, Tang Tian slowly said.

"..."

Lord Xiaoyao opened his mouth, unable to refute.

He understood that Tang Tian was merely stating the facts.

Would the The Royal Family follow the rules?

Without even thinking, he knew this was absolutely impossible.

It seems that a complete fallout with the The Royal Family is inevitable!

Lord Xiaoyao secretly sighed in his heart.

While Tang Tian and the others were chatting, the Demon Clan First Auction House had already become exceptionally lively.

Everything was because of the weapons Ke Ke had put up for auction.

The various forces all had more or less Imperial Weapons, but they were pitifully few.

Similarly, Divine Artifacts, Sacred Artifacts, and even Spirit Rank weapons were very rare.

On one hand, it was because of the Demon Race's scarcity of resources.

On the other hand, it was because the Demon Race didn't have many powerful Artifact Refiners.

Naturally, it was hard for more than ten Heaven-Grade top-quality weapons not to be sought after.

After all, even the weapons of many Quasi-Emperors were just ordinary Heaven-Grade weapons, let alone other Cultivators.

Isn't that right?

The temporary auction held by the Demonic Path First Auction House, besides Lord Xiaoyaos Estate, had already been attended by people from various forces.

Even some reclusive forces and powerful Loose Cultivators had sent people over.

They were all determined to acquire the Heaven-Grade top-quality weapons.

Actually, it wasn't that no one had thought of directly attacking Lord Xiaoyaos Estate.

To plunder resources from Ke Ke!

Who knows, this little girl might still have many good things in her possession?

However, thinking of Lord Xiaoyao's strength, they still gave up on this idea.

Treasures are good, but one must be alive to possess them, right?

Lord Xiaoyao, looking across the entire Demon Race, was one of the few top-tier powerhouses.

If he hadn't always been loyal to the The Royal Family, he probably could have established himself as king, couldn't he?

On the other side of the Endless Continent, in the Emperor Clan Tang Family, deep within the Holy Land.

Beneath the abyss, Tang Tai stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.

Upon learning of his beloved grandson's latest situation, Tang Tai's expression could be described as very colorful.

This kid was actually staying in the Demon Race's Lord Xiaoyaos Estate?

And had an ambiguous relationship with Lord Xiaoyao's granddaughter?

Tang Tai was a bit at a loss for words regarding this.

The two sides of the Endless Continent had always been mortal enemies, locked in an endless struggle!

Thinking of this issue, Tang Tai felt an immense headache.

If a new round of Human-Demon War began, what then... But then, Tang Tai became incredibly calm.

What was there to worry about?

When soldiers come, generals block; when water comes, earth covers!

Furthermore, if the Demon Race invaded again, the situation at that time was still uncertain!

"That kid Tian'er, he really is..."

Exhaling a long breath, Tang Tai muttered to himself.

After much deliberation, Tang Tai had no intention of bringing Tang Tian back.

Anyway, staying with the Demon Race was a good opportunity for Tang Tian to gain experience.

Moreover, this kid's future would not be limited to the Endless Continent!

So, what impact could the matters of the Endless Continent have on him?

Tang Tai was full of confidence in his beloved grandson.

He believed that Tang Tian would definitely leave the Endless Continent and head to a broader stage.

The Endless Continent was merely the starting point of Tang Tian's Cultivation path!

While Tang Tai's thoughts were racing, the Qilin Skeleton, Black and White Shuangsha, Taotie, Big Black Dog, as well as Ye Wuming and Ouyang Lang, had already entered a small Secret Realm deep within the Emperor Clan Tang Family Holy Land.

The Spiritual Qi in this small Secret Realm had liquefied.

Moreover, various Cultivation resources were everywhere here.

It was no exaggeration to call it the Holy Land among Holy Lands for Cultivation!

However, at this moment, the group was busy with different things.

Black and White Shuangsha?

Currently, they were undergoing a Breakthrough to the Saint Realm.

Qilin Skeleton?

With Tang Tai's help, it had already begun to restore its Physical Body.

Flesh and blood slowly began to grow on its body.

Ye Wuming and Ouyang Lang were quietly in secluded Cultivation.

The only unreliable one was Big Black Dog.

In such a superior environment, it was actually sound asleep.

Similarly, Taotie was not much better off.

As Tang Tian's strength increased, its strength also recovered to the Peak of Dongtian Realm Nine Heavens.

After entering the small Secret Realm, it actually wandered around aimlessly.

From time to time, it would chat with Big Black Dog for a while.

"How long have you been wandering around? Aren't you tired?"

Lifting an eyelid, Big Black Dog glared at Taotie and said grumpily.

"Do you think I want to be like this?"

"Have you noticed something amiss?"

Looking at Big Black Dog, Taotie said with innocent eyes.

"What's amiss?"

Stunned, Big Black Dog looked at Taotie in confusion.

"It's about the master entering the other side of the Endless Continent."

"And also, isn't the Bloodline Power of those Demon Clan Royal Family members a bit too strong?"

"Even we feel threatened?"

After a moment of silence, Taotie slowly said.

“Indeed, something feels a little off.”

“Their Bloodline Power is a bit too formidable.”

“I’m wondering, could they be from the Demon Clan Royal Family of the Immortal Realm?”

After pondering for a moment, Big Black Dog nodded in agreement.

“This isn’t right either!”

“Isn’t the Awakening level of their Bloodline Power too high?”

“Even for top races like us, without returning to our ancestral land, we wouldn’t be able to have such a high level of Bloodline Power Awakening, right?”

Shaking its head, Taowu said with a frown.

“Unless…”

Immediately after, it spoke again, but then trailed off.

“Unless, the Demon Clan Royal Family here has Heaven-Defying treasures from the Demon Clan’s ancestral land that have been left behind.”

The next moment, Taowu and Big Black Dog spoke in unison, as if by prior agreement.

They exchanged glances, both seeing the burning light in each other’s eyes.

If that were truly the case, could they find a way to obtain those treasures?

Or rather, have Tang Tian obtain those treasures?

Thinking of this, Big Black Dog immediately urged Taowu to find a way to tell Tang Tian about this matter.

No choice!

The main reason was that with their current strength, they simply couldn’t cross the spatial barrier to the other side of the Endless Continent.

Given this, they could only pin their hopes on Tang Tian.

As night fell, in Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate, Tang Tian, who was resting, was suddenly startled awake.

A blurry voice, belonging to that fellow Taowu, had suddenly echoed in his mind?

There might be Heaven-Defying ultimate treasures in the Demon Race area?

Taowu hoped he would search for them?

Just as Tang Tian was about to ask something, Taowu’s voice completely disappeared.

Aside from feeling speechless, what else could Tang Tian say?

However, Taowu’s words had indeed sparked a strong interest in him.

One must know, Taowu probably wouldn’t be so agitated over ordinary treasures.

The fact that Taowu was so unsettled didn’t that just prove the extraordinary nature of this treasure?

It seemed that as long as there was an opportunity, he had to properly search for this Heaven-Defying treasure.

However, when he thought of a very realistic problem, Tang Tian could only smile bitterly.

That was, where exactly was this treasure?

He had no clues at all!

He didn’t even know what the treasure looked like.

Where should he even begin to search?

Thinking of these questions, Tang Tian felt a tremendous headache.

Could Taowu’s words be a little more reliable?

Why couldn’t it just explain everything clearly at once?

What Tang Tian didn’t know was that on the other side, Taowu had already vomited blood and fallen unconscious.

“Just as I thought!”

“Forcibly transmitting a message, with its current strength, is still a bit too strenuous!”

Standing in front of Taowu, Big Black Dog shook its head and said.

Then, it took out a bottle and poured its contents into Taowu’s mouth.

After finishing, Big Black Dog went to sleep soundly on the side.

In the blink of an eye, a night passed.

When Tang Tian woke up, it was already late morning.

As he walked out of his room, he saw Nie Keke Cultivating in the courtyard.

It had to be said, this girl was indeed exceptionally diligent in her Cultivation.

Whenever she had time, she was basically always Cultivating.

“Tang Tian, you’re finally awake?”

Ending her Cultivation and opening her eyes, Nie Keke looked at Tang Tian with sparkling eyes.

“Guess what our harvest from this weapon auction was like?”

Flying over to Tang Tian, Nie Keke asked with no small amount of excitement.

“Seeing how happy you are, I imagine the harvest wasn’t small, right?”

Staring at Nie Keke’s face, Tang Tian chuckled.

“Indeed!”

“This time, more than a dozen Heaven-Grade weapons brought me nearly 20 million top-grade Demon Crystals in revenue.”

“It’s almost comparable to the revenue of our Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate over several decades in the past.”

“Artifact Refining, the speed of accumulating wealth is truly extraordinary!”

Blinking her eyes, Nie Keke slowly said.

By the end of her statement, her pretty face was beaming with a happy and proud smile.

“Uh…”

“Congratulations!”

Tang Tian paused, then smiled.

In his heart, he was also incredibly surprised.

It seemed the Demon Race’s resources were truly not just ordinarily scarce!

More than ten top-grade Heaven-Grade weapons, and the revenue could be so astonishing?

It’s ridiculous!

Normally, over 20 million top-grade Demon Crystals would be enough to easily Cultivate a quasi-Emperor expert, right?

It might even be possible to Cultivate a low-level Great Emperor.

“Hehe!”

“Speaking of which, I have you to thank!”

“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to obtain the Legacy of the Icefire Demon Emperor.”

With a sweet smile, Nie Keke looked at Tang Tian gratefully.

As the saying goes, some rejoice while others grieve!

Nie Keke was happy, but some people, at this moment, couldn’t be happy at all.

For example, the Demon Race Imperial Palace?

Upon learning of Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate’s harvest this time, Nie Feng’s face was so gloomy it could almost drip water.

Damn it!

He had painstakingly tried to suppress Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate, and now it had come to this situation?

Thinking about it, Nie Feng felt so depressed he wanted to vomit blood.

This time, Lord Xiaoyao’s single harvest was comparable to Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate’s accumulation over several decades in the past.

Nie Feng truly couldn’t understand where Nie Keke got so many top-grade Heaven-Grade weapons.

Could it be that these things came from the Trial Grounds?

Impossible!

There might be that many Heaven-Grade weapons there, but Nie Keke absolutely couldn’t have obtained them.

Wait a minute!

Nie Feng involuntarily thought of Tang Tian.

Could it be because of this mysterious young man?

The more he thought about it, the more Nie Feng felt this was possible.

“Investigate thoroughly where those Heaven-Grade weapons came from!”

Taking a deep breath, Nie Feng looked at his subordinate in front of him and ordered.

“Yes!”

Hearing Nie Feng’s command, the latter acknowledged and left.

While Nie Feng was lost in thought, Nie Wuwei arrived at an extremely luxuriously decorated pavilion in the Demon Clan First Auction House.

This was Jian Shisan’s residence.

Seeing that it was even more luxurious than his Imperial Brother’s sleeping quarters, Nie Wuwei’s mouth twitched fiercely.

The Demon Clan First Auction House was indeed incredibly wealthy!

In his heart, he couldn’t help but curse silently.

“Ninth Prince, may I ask what brings you to me?”

Looking at Nie Wuwei, Jian Shisan asked respectfully.

There was a reason why he adopted this attitude.

On one hand, it was because Nie Wuwei’s strength far surpassed his.

On the other hand, it was because of Nie Wuwei’s identity.

Therefore, he had to treat him cautiously.

If he offended this person in front of him, he would probably incur a lot of unnecessary trouble, right?

It was better to be careful!

This was Jian Shisan’s inner thought.

“Jian Shisan, that brat killed one of your Saints, can you swallow this insult?”

Looking at Jian Shisan meaningfully, Nie Wuwei asked calmly.

“Our Old Ancestor told me not to concern myself with this matter.”

Raising an eyebrow, Jian Shisan said with an innocent expression.

In his heart, however, he was sneering coldly.

By now, how could he not understand Nie Wuwei’s sinister intentions?

Presumably, the The Royal Family hoped that the Demon Clan First Auction House would fall out with Lord Xiaoyao, or even fight to the death?

This was using a borrowed knife to kill?

Simply ridiculous!

Did they really think the Demon Clan First Auction House was foolish?

Hearing Jian Shisan’s words, although Nie Wuwei’s expression remained calm, he was very disappointed internally.

Is that really how it is?

These old foxes from the Demon Clan First Auction House had no intention of clashing to the death with Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate?

Even though that brat had somehow killed one of their Saints this time!

“What if I said I represent our The Royal Family to discuss cooperation with your Demon Clan First Auction House?”

Narrowing his eyes and looking at Jian Shisan, Nie Wuwei continued.

“Cooperation?”

Jian Shisan was stunned, a look of surprise on his face.

“Cooperation to deal with Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate?”

Then, he subconsciously asked again.

“Exactly!”

“That’s right!”

Nie Wuwei nodded and replied.

“I cannot represent the Demon Clan First Auction House.”

“For this matter, I need to consult with my superiors.”

Shaking his head, Jian Shisan slowly said honestly.

Frankly, Nie Wuwei’s proposal made him feel very tempted.

Mainly, Tang Tian’s assertiveness made him very uncomfortable.

Besides that, he was also very interested, wondering if Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate had any other treasures?

If he could destroy Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate, wouldn’t he gain many benefits?

“No problem!”

“In that case, please consult with your superiors!”

Nie Wuwei smiled and urged.

“No need!”

Just then, a bloody figure appeared before the two of them.

“Jian Shisan greets Old Ancestor!”

Immediately, Jian Shisan respectfully bowed to the figure wearing a blood-colored mask and a blood-colored robe.

Similarly, Nie Wuwei also stood up and nodded with a chuckle to the other party.

“Ninth Prince, can you truly represent your branch?”

Staring at Nie Wuwei’s face, the blood-robed man asked straightforwardly.

“Of course!”

Without any hesitation, Nie Wuwei answered decisively.

“Very well!”

“In that case, let’s cooperate!”

Nodding with satisfaction, the blood-robed man said cleanly and decisively.

“Uh…”

Instantly, Nie Wuwei was bewildered.

He had thought of countless possibilities, but he hadn’t expected the blood-robed man to agree to cooperate so readily.

Could this be another trick?

All at once, Nie Wuwei’s heart was in turmoil.

“What? Ninth Prince, do you have any questions?”

The blood-robed man chuckled and asked.

“There aren’t any problems, per se.”

“It’s just, regarding the specifics of how to cooperate, shouldn’t we discuss it at length?”

“Your Excellency must be very aware of Lord Xiaoyao’s strength, right?”

Shaking his head, Nie Wuwei said with a calm expression.

However, in his heart, he had already begun to feel a sense of vigilance.
