Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2203: Chapter 447: The Mystery of Liu Ruolan’s Origins (Part 3)

Following this trend, by the time the Kunwu Vessel is fully constructed, I’m afraid East Qianguo will have already grown to a formidable state. At that point, whether the Kunwu Vessel can deal with East Qianguo is uncertain.

The more information the Demon Lord Xietong gathered, the heavier the crisis in his heart became. Now, it seems to have reached the point where he can neither eat nor sleep in peace.

He always felt that, given the current situation, acting rashly might lead to repeating past failures.

It seems he needs to think of other solutions.

…

Amidst the anxiety in Demon Lord Xietong’s heart.

Chao Qianchuo, the Demon Lord, was also experiencing a rare low point in his demonic life.

This time, not only did his meticulously planned grand scheme fail completely, but it also dealt a huge blow to his and the Chao Clan’s reputation. Now, throughout the Demonic Dynasty, there are various criticisms of the Demon Lord, Little Demon Sovereign, and the Chao Clan.

Especially the Red Hell Demon Emperor, who lavishly supported storytellers, vividly exaggerating the grand achievements of Crown Prince Shentu Jingming in various mixed gatherings, making the failures of the Little Demon Sovereign and the Demon Lord seem all the more laughable.

It was also due to this series of changes that the Red Hell Demon Emperor and the Demon Lord had an early exchange of defenses, with the Red Hell Demon Emperor personally overseeing the battlefield outside the domain, while the Demon Lord temporarily returned to the Real Demon Palace to recuperate.

Real Demon Palace.

Demon Overlooking Abyss.

As one of the ten forbidden areas of the Real Demon Palace, only the Demon Lord and a few Void Realm Demon Kings of the Real Demon Palace are qualified to enter here.

Beneath the Demon Overlooking Abyss, thick Nether Magic pervades all year round.

Looking down from above, the gray-black Nether Magic gathers and stays, resembling a misty fog, giving rise to a sense of ethereal charm.

The highly concentrated Nether Magic coalesces into droplets, which over the years have formed an unfathomably deep Ming Water Heavenly Pond.

In this Ming Water Heavenly Pond, many aquatic species from the Demonic World are bred, forming an independent ecological chain.

Especially a fish species called “Nether Dracolyth,” which is extraordinarily fierce and can grow up to several thousand or even tens of thousands of pounds. Its flesh is fine and tender, containing a large amount of Nether Essence. Ordinary people eating it would instantly perish, but for cultivators of Nether Magic or similar demonic paths, it is a hugely nourishing item.

At this moment.

On a jagged rock in the Demon Overlooking Abyss, a middle-aged man with a stern look and imposing demeanor was sitting cross-legged, fishing.

He wore simple black attire, through which the muscle lines on his arms could be clearly seen. From a distance, he appeared heroic and mighty, like a mountain.

Even though he was simply sitting there, it felt as if he was integrated with the world and the Demon Overlooking Abyss, inspiring a natural sense of awe.

This man was the current world’s best, Chao Qianchuo, the reigning supreme of the Demonic Dynasty.

Compared to his previous vigor, he seemed to have aged and grown weary over this period, with a deepening sense of desolation in his brows.

It’s unclear how long he’d been fishing alone; a thin layer of dust had settled on the rock he sat on, yet his clothes remained spotless as if freshly changed.

This is also one of the basic abilities of True Immortal Realm and True Devil Realm experts.

At this level, the bodies of the strong have undergone numerous refinements, vastly different from ordinary human bodies. The surrounding Immortal Spirit Qi or True Demon Qi envelops them, and unless mortally wounded or at the end of their lifespan, the bodies of True Immortal and True Demon Realm experts are impervious to decay or dirt.

Only a change in mindset would allow signs of weariness to appear on their face.

A few yellow leaves fluttered down from the sky above the Ming Water Heavenly Pond, carried away by a wisp of evil wind, making the back of the Demon Lord look inexplicably desolate.

Suddenly.

A spatial ripple stirred in the sky.

A woman with a gentle demeanor and exuding the powerful aura of the Void Realm stepped out of it.

She wore a light mauve dress, her eyebrows were gentle, and her whole being was enveloped in an aura that made people feel comfortable.

She descended gently from mid-air, lightly landing on the rock behind the Demon Lord, then bowed slightly to the seated Demon Lord, and reported in a low voice: “Reporting to Your Excellency, the matter you asked me to investigate has some leads. The Saintess Wang Ruobing from the Yinsha Sect has recently experienced a great increase in cultivation base and aptitude, showing strength far beyond the typical Unparalleled Heavenly Child, and is highly suspected of having swallowed the Dark True Demon Seed. How to handle this, please decide, Your Excellency.”

This woman, needless to say, was naturally Elder Yun.

For many years, she had always been by the Demon Lord’s side, utterly loyal to Chao Qianchuo. Likewise, she was deeply trusted by the Demon Lord, handling many important matters personally.

“Qingyun~” The Demon Lord Chao Qianchuo said, half-closing his eyes, and only after a moment did he speak slowly, “How long have you been following me?”

“Reporting to Your Excellency.” Elder Yun replied softly, “I have been following you for two thousand seven hundred and ninety-six years and five months.”

“Indeed, in the blink of an eye, it’s almost three thousand years.” The Demon Lord opened his eyes, his deep gaze falling into the abyssal pond ahead, his voice slightly hoarse, “Over these three thousand years, you have served me, witnessing my various setbacks and glories, yet never has there been a stumble as great as this one.”

“Now, even those two little demon brats, Tianxie and Lin Yuan, dare to come out waving flags and challenging me. Truly laughable, lamentable, and pathetic. Do you think I have really aged?”
