Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1673: Chapter 118 Rich Mengyu’s Disguised Visit (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

…

Heading north from the Extreme Western Land, crossing the continuous snow-capped mountains, one enters a vast uninhabited region. Beyond this desolation, further to the northwest, lies the territory of the Crimson Moon Empire.

The continent where the Crimson Moon Empire is located is called the Crimson Moon Continent.

In terms of continental structure, the Crimson Moon Continent, where the Crimson Moon Empire is situated, is actually connected to the Central Continent where Da Qian is located. However, the two are demarcated by distinct boundaries, like two completely unrelated worlds.

Besides the factor of distance and the presence of boundary gaps, this is largely due to historical reasons.

From the perspective of existence, the history of the Crimson Moon Empire is actually older than that of the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty.

Initially, the Crimson Moon Empire was more like an amalgamation of various factions, large and small, rather than a state. It lacked unified governance and a complete social system.

At that time, major factions ruled over different territories, maintaining a fragmented control. Although they nominally respected the strongest among them as a common leader, in practice, they acted autonomously and rarely followed orders.

Because of this, although the empire was powerful at the time and fully capable of expanding outward, its development was slow due to mutual checks and hindrances among the factions. Areas such as the regions of West Jin and Da Qian remained undeveloped.

This situation persisted until the establishment of the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty.

Perhaps due to external threats or simply because the time was right, under the threat of the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty, the empire finally ended the era of factional division after some turmoil and achieved political unification.

The most powerful and extensive Prominent Family, the Shentu Clan, unified most of the empire’s territory, incorporating the majority of family powers under its command, self-declaring as the “Emperor” and establishing a stable regime.

The remaining scattered sect powers, in order to survive, had to take refuge under the banner of the Real Demon Palace, which at that time housed the only two mighty Demon Lord-level experts. As a result, the Real Demon Palace grew even more formidable.

After some twists and turns, a certain balance was also reached between the Shentu Clan and the Real Demon Palace.

Thus, the political structure of the empire finally stabilized, becoming what is now known as the Crimson Moon Empire.

Over tens of thousands of years, the Real Demon Palace has been passed down for generations, never faltering, and its position has only become more indomitable.

Southwest region of the Real Demon Palace.

Amidst the rolling mountains stands a colossal demonic palace.

It is a towering and magnificent complex of buildings predominantly made of stone, with each brick and tile meticulously crafted, surface engraved with exquisite patterns, and exuding a thick demonic Qi.

However, in some areas, there are specially crafted structures made entirely of metal. These buildings have towering spires with a chilling and imposing demeanor, looking like iron giants, grim and menacing.

This fortress-like demonic palace is named Fuluo Palace.

It is also the headquarters of Little Demon Lord Chao Qianjue.

As a direct descendant of the current Demon Lord, Little Demon Lord Chao Qianjue has exhibited exceptional talent since childhood, placed under high expectations and regarded as the “Crown Prince” of the Real Demon Palace. Naturally, he has enjoyed a large amount of resource allocation.

His demonic palace is even grander than the Devil Lord Palaces of some Transcendent Void Realm magnates, both in scale and personnel arrangement, being top-tier.

The importance placed on him by the Demon Lord is evident from this.

In recent years, Little Demon Lord has remained in seclusion, and Fuluo Palace has kept a low profile. Nevertheless, this in no way diminishes his prestige within the Real Demon Palace.

The seclusion area of Little Demon Lord is one of the rear halls of Fuluo Palace. Its location is relatively secluded, at a distance from all surrounding palaces, with heavily armed guards keeping watch, allowing not even a fly to enter.

On this particular day, the Divine Power Realm Guard responsible for securing the seclusion area had just completed a shift change and was instructing his subordinates to be more vigilant.

Without anyone anticipating it.

Suddenly, a domineering aura surged up from within the hall.

The aura was imposing and majestic, like Mount Tai pressing down, causing one’s chest to feel heavy.

The Divine Power Realm Guard paused in his speech, his eyes lighting up instantaneously.

Could it be that the Little Demon Lord was about to come out of seclusion?

He immediately sent someone to report the movement here with excitement.

Within moments, ripples of Dao appeared in the air outside the hall.

Soon after, an elderly man in a dark robe emerged, stepping out to appear outside the hall.

The elder had a lean, aged figure, with an appearance that did not betray any imposing presence. Yet his dark clothing seemed dyed in ink, exuding a charisma that seemed to captivate hearts, causing an unexplainable sense of anxiety and unrest.

Needless to say, this was undoubtedly a magnate of the Void Realm.

The mind of the Divine Power Realm Guard tightened, and he respectfully approached, bowing in salute: “Greetings, Elder Gong.”

This elder went by the name Gong Litu and was one of the twenty-seven Demon Kings within the Real Demon Palace.

Officially, that was his position; in reality, he was a tribute of the Chao Clan, assigned to follow Chao Qianjue since he was young, acting as his butler and protector.

Inside this Fuluo Palace, aside from the Little Demon Lord, he held the highest position and wielded the greatest authority.

“Be thorough.” Gong Litu glanced at them, advising, “Even if the Young Master is about to leave seclusion, you must remain vigilant. Any mishaps, and I will hold you accountable.”
