862: Chapter 483 My Way Domain_2
862 -483 My Way Domain_2
The battlefield could not be won; everything equated to nothing.
The Old Demon Dragon deeply understood this truth.
Amidst the flattery of the Turtle Demon’s “Your Majesty is wise,” it vanished in a flash, disappearing from its spot.
…
…
One day later, in the palace of the Demon Righteous Religion Country’s Royal City.
An old Tree Demon was leading a powerful Demonkin with a catfish head, spitting angrily in the Great Hall.
This old Tree Demon was naturally the envoy sent by the Eastern Demon Kingdom to the Demon Righteous Church Country.
As for the Vice Envoy beside it, it was said to be a Demon General who had performed meritorious service by capturing the free citizens pardoned by the Holy Venerable on the border just a few days earlier.
The Eastern Demon Kingdom had deliberately sent this demon as an envoy, with the intent to provoke laid bare.
“Selena, City Lord, we have already waited for more than two days.
First, you said the Holy Venerable was in seclusion, and then you said the Holy Venerable had disappeared without a trace. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
What does this mean?”
At the old Tree Demon’s signal, the catfish-headed demon stepped forward, speaking arrogantly to the young blue-haired girl,
“I, the Catfish Demon, have long heard of the renown of the Azure Lance.
You should know the mandates of Heaven and recognize the times.
You should understand that the heavenly order is prone to change, and that divinely imbued items are able to change hands.
Since the ancient founding of my Eastern Demon Kingdom, it has persisted through a hundred generations.
Now, our King is endowed with heavenly talent, profound strategies, and has indeed attained the position of the Fifth Realm of Breakthrough Limit.”
“The wise people of the Demon Righteous Church must see that Holy Venerable Jia Loulan is obviously intimidated by the might of our lord, having abandoned you and fled.
As the proverb goes, a wise bird chooses the tree it perches on.
Why don’t you join us and return to the Eastern Demon Kingdom?
Put down your arms, come visit with respect, for our lord is thirsty for talent.
With your abilities, you will undoubtedly shine under our lord’s command!”
There are only so many opportunities in life to gamble and change one’s fate; the chance was right in front of him.
The Catfish Demon took the initiative to charge forward, tearing off the façade for the first time.
If it weren’t for the fact that he had captured a number of valuable slaves and gained the appreciation of the Demon Marshal, some demons would not even have the chance to risk everything for this.
The Demon Realm did not care for nonsensical notions like “when two countries war, envoys shall not be harmed”; they only recognized the hierarchy of power.
With the Catfish Demon’s status and cultivation, speaking to Selena in such a manner was a severe breach of etiquette.
At this moment, even if Selena killed the demon, even the Eastern Pole Demon Emperor would find it difficult to find fault with her actions from a rule-based perspective.
For a moment, the eyes of all the demons in the hall converged on the centaur young girl.
Under the gaze of the crowd, the stunning blue-haired girl slowly extended a finger, smooth as jade.
“Firstly, I am no longer the City Lord of Youcheng; I am now the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Demon Righteous Church.
The titles you envoys have used from the beginning are wrong.”
“Secondly, my master has not fled the battle out of cowardice or reluctance to go to the Eastern Royal City, but has gone out to find a gift for the Eastern Extreme King.”
“Lastly, in the Demon Righteous Religion Country, one is free to come and go as they please.
Whoever wishes to accompany you two envoys, I will not stop them.
We make our own choices, as long as no one regrets it later.”
Seeing that Selena made no move to attack, the Catfish Demon couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief inside.
It looked at nearly half of the high-ranking members of the Demon Righteous Church that had moved to stand behind it and couldn’t help but burst into gleeful laughter.
“Life rarely offers chances to wager; today must be the day for me, the Catfish Demon, to rise in rank and fortune!”
“That human slave truly is a lucky charm.
Ever since offering that person to the Demon Marshal, my Catfish Demon’s Qi Fortune has bloomed like a flower adorned with brocade, fiery like oil on flame; everything I do turns to success, even if I eat an egg in the morning I might find it to be double-yolked.”
“I specially spent a fortune a few days ago to buy this person from the Demon Marshal, to keep at home.”
“However, I heard news from my clan that the Earth Dragon dwelling on our ancestral lands has turned over, breaking the Great Formation, and a sudden fissure opened, billowing black smoke – which is quite strange.
When I return, I must investigate.”
Having claimed his merits, the Catfish Demon let its thoughts run wild and took half a step back next to the old Tree Demon, as a procession of demons strode out of the palace under the stars.
“Ma Zouri, as they say, a wise bird chooses the tree it perches on.
Some of your clan members have left with the Eastern Demon Kingdom’s delegation.
Are you not planning to go?”
“I’ve said before that in the current Demon Righteous Religion Country, one is free to come and go.
I’m too deeply entangled to leave now, but Ma Zouri, you still have a choice.”
Selena looked over the now half-empty Great Hall, her gaze suddenly shifting to the centaur sitting to her right as she coldly spoke.
“What are you talking about, Selena?
There is no second sun in the sky, and in my heart, there is only one sun, Holy Venerable Jia Loulan.
How can you think so lowly of me?”
“Rest assured, my lady, I wish to share the fate of the Demon Righteous Religion Country.” Ma Zouri, surprised, immediately swore by pointing to the sky, speaking to Selena with pretended grievance.
Selena was so frustrated by his charade that her teeth itched.
She didn’t know where this old fox had spotted a flaw and managed not to fall for it.
Facing Selena’s indifferent expression, the centaur suddenly said again.
“Lady Selena, seeing your actions today, I have grown even fonder of the Holy Venerable.”
The centaur’s vertical pupils stared intently at Selena’s face, as if trying to discern something from it, to validate its own suspicions.
“Ma Zouri, you’ve got quite the nerve to gamble your entire fortune and life.”
“I dare not accept such praise from you, Lady Selena.
I just trust the Holy Venerable even more.
I’ve lived most of my life and seen through everything.
Weakness is never the barrier to survival; arrogance is.
Besides— the Holy Venerable is no weakling.”
“Ha, Ma Zouri, then why did you allow some of your clan members, including your second son, to go to the Eastern Demon Kingdom?”
“The children are grown and have their own opinions.
There’s not much I can do.
Those family members who are disloyal to the Holy Venerable, let them die; the main bloodline of the Horse Demon Clan is still within the Demon Righteousness King City.”
