Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2577: Chapter 69: Wang Shouzhe Suppresses the Chi Long Devil Lord

…

Longchang Calendar 3583.

Yet another spring.

Unbeknownst to many, it has been twenty years since Wang Shouzhe returned to the Wang family.

The Demonic Realm.

Dragon Blood Demon God Temple.

It is not as majestic as other Demonic God Halls, nor as large, and even the materials used are far less precious than those used in other halls.

Among the many Demonic God Halls in the Demonic Realm, this is definitely the most “crude” one.

The reason being that the Dragon Blood Demon God is simply too young, having ascended to a demon god only recently. But even so, as long as there is a demon god guarding it, this place is a sacred pilgrimage site for many demon kings.

Outside the Demonic God Hall.

On the wide stone steps in front of the hall, a long line of demon soldiers, led by the head demon king, is ascending the steps.

These demon soldiers, numbering many, all carry large chests without exception. Some are filled with demonic crystal stones, others with gold, silver, and jewels, all offerings prepared for the Dragon Blood Demon God.

At the forefront of this group of demon soldiers, five or six demon kings of various forms are gathered together, sighing and lamenting something.

Among them, a demon king with a human body and snake head sighed and said, “His Majesty Dragon Blood is becoming increasingly unhappy. What should we do if this continues?”

“Indeed, the last time I offered a batch of demonic crystal stones, His Majesty merely waved his hand, showing little interest.” Another bull-headed demon king also expressed his worries, “I truly fear that one day His Majesty might suddenly fly into a rage and execute us for his amusement.”

The Demonic Realm is hierarchically structured, with demon kings having absolute control over their subordinates’ lives, overseeing the life and death of those demonic lords under their command. Naturally, demon gods have absolute dominion over demon kings as well.

Demon gods of a cruel nature are not uncommon, and it is far from unheard of for them to amuse themselves by slaughtering their subordinates on a whim.

“This time, I have found a beauty, a half-human demon,” stated a worried-looking Charm Demon Queen from the Charm Demon Clan, “I hope she can please His Majesty and win us some favor.”

As they spoke, they had already reached the top of the stairs and together entered the Demonic God Hall.

Inside the Demonic God Hall, the Dragon Blood Demon God sat idly on the divine throne made by his subordinates for him. His robust figure exuded an overwhelming aura of intimidation, but his expression was listless, clearly in a foul mood.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of the demon kings immediately turned tense. They respectfully paid their respects to the Dragon Blood Demon God according to the protocols and presented their treasures and beauties.

As expected, the Dragon Blood Demon God showed little interest in these gifts, going through the motions of listening to their reports before waving them away with a melancholy expression.

The demon kings were anxious but dared not speak further, retreating quietly.

After the demon kings had departed, Yun Xiayang, the Dragon Blood Demon God, sighed deeply, his heart heavy with melancholy: “Ah~ three years again and again, in the blink of an eye two hundred and fifty years have passed. When will it end for me? When will I be able to see Miaomiao?”

He once was a young and promising King of Zhennan in the Immortal Dynasty, who by some twist of fate became the Dragon Blood Demon God, lurking for so many years in the Demonic Realm, daily consorting with ghosts and ghouls.

If not for having Wang Luomiao as his emotional anchor, Yun Xiayang feared he might have already gone mad.

Suddenly.

A charming female voice echoed in the spacious Demonic God Hall: “It wouldn’t be difficult for His Majesty to meet Miss Luomiao.”

“Who is there!”

The Dragon Blood Demon God Yun Xiayang’s heart tensed, and he instantly stood up, a colossal aura of intimidation simultaneously rising from him, enveloping the direction where the voice originated.

Overbearing and sharp, he unmistakably demonstrated the might of a demon god.

Not until this moment did he clearly see that the speaker was a seductive and mysterious half-human demon woman.

Her skin was soft and delicate, like fine mutton-fat jade, and her features were stunning. At first glance, she bore a great resemblance to the human race, yet her cheeks and arms were covered in small scales, her eyes like blood-red rubies, exuding an evil and bewitching aura.

Faced with the terrifying pressure of a demon god, she seemed completely unfazed, calmly saying: “The king conquers the world.”

“Pagoda Town River Monster!”

Yun Xiayang instinctively replied, only then suddenly realizing and looked toward the woman with some suspicion: “Are you from that side?”

“Master Shouzhe entrusted me to deliver a message to you.” The enchanting woman said this, then slightly bowed, formally paying her respects, “Wang Mei greets Your Highness.”

“Wang Mei?” Yun Xiayang’s body trembled in shock.

The name was like thunderclaps to him.

The renowned Wang Mei is currently one of the Wang family’s oldest head of households and one of Wang Shouzhe’s most capable aides, having made innumerable contributions to the Wang family’s development.

She is ubiquitous and extremely mysterious, but whenever she appears, it signifies the onset of a significant event.

“Miss Wang Mei indeed lives up to her reputation,” Yun Xiayang exclaimed in awe. “To so easily infiltrate my Demonic God Hall, I am truly impressed.”

He dared not harbor any sinister thoughts toward Wang Mei.

Firstly, he must keep himself virtuous for Miaomiao’s sake, and secondly, rumor has it that this woman is Wang Shouzhe’s favored concubine. In the Divine Martial World today, one might still have hope after offending the Red Hell Demon Emperor or Immortal Emperor Muyun, but offending Wang Shouzhe was a sure death.

“No need for pleasantries,” Wang Mei said with a serious expression, though a flash of fervor crossed her eyes. “The Family Head has ordered that the [Demon Extermination Operation] officially commence. Due to the mission’s significance, he has sent me personally to discuss the mission details with you.”
