Chapter 127 Yan Zhong
At first glance, he seemed lazy and carefree, much like those spoiled brats who played around in the mortal world.
Now they've become very cautious in everything they do, and have completely lost their carefree attitude.
At least his life and bloodline were saved, and he was spared the inhuman torture that lasted for a year. He probably won't develop a dark and perverse personality again.
Liu Xingxing then took out two bottles of pills from the storage ring on her left hand, kept one from each, and stuffed the rest into Yan Qifeng's hand, saying:
"These are Nourishing Pills and Concentrating Pills, one of each, take one every other day, and your body will be fully recovered in a month. Open your mouth."
Yan Qifeng obediently opened his mouth, and two pills were stuffed into it. He swallowed them trustingly.
"As for repairing your dantian, I need to go back and check the information."
After all, she had never helped anyone repair Tian Dan, and she had no relevant information in her memory, so she really needed to check it out.
"Yes, thank you, Your Excellency."
Now, he is unusually obedient and compliant.
"By the way, what do you plan to do with the other three demon kings? Should I call them over now?"
After all, this was a grudge between them. She had already dealt with one of the Crimson Flames, but she still needed to ask the person involved about the rest.
"My old man is still missing..."
He originally came to rescue Yan Zhong, but unexpectedly, he got himself involved as well.
Liu Xing immediately understood what he was talking about. He glanced in a certain direction in the sky and said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, "The three of you, the little fox wants to have a word with you."
The sound was indeed not loud, but it reached their ears accurately.
The three extraterrestrials, watching the lively scene dissipate, exchanged silent glances before flying back to the terrace together.
As soon as they landed, they saw a pale, lifeless corpse on the ground, its head tilted to one side in a very strange position. Upon closer inspection, they realized that its neck had been twisted off.
To prevent a Nascent Soul cultivator from self-destructing in such a brutal and direct way, there are probably very few people in the world who could do that.
This person's strength has definitely reached that level!
The three men's confidence plummeted again.
They believed that if they displeased this person again, their fate would be dire.
Since becoming the Demon King, they hadn't felt this kind of fear in a long time.
Mu Gu cautiously probed, "Venerable One..."
"Little fox, you speak."
Liu Xingxing didn't look at them, but instead began to enjoy the scenery outside the terrace with great interest.
The eclipse was more than halfway over, and the sky was just right. The slightly bluish sky did not block the sunlight from shining down, nor was there any sense of fog or haze.
Having spent so much time in the demon realm, I've actually gotten used to this kind of sky.
"Young Master..."
Now that Liu Xingxing had spoken, Mu Gu didn't dare to make a fool of himself, so he could now call her "Young Master".
Yan Qifeng didn't give him a friendly look either: "I'm not worthy of being your young lord. Stop talking nonsense. Where is my father?"
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, your subordinates have already sent someone to invite him, and he will arrive shortly."
Mu Gu has the highest cultivation level among the four demon kings, and he is also the most flexible and adaptable among them. He is very smooth and tactful, which is quite rare.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xingxing, who was still admiring the scenery, gave a light scoff, but did not interject. It was unclear whether she was mocking his flexibility or his foresight.
"You'd better guarantee my father's safety, or else..."
His lifeless eyes revealed no emotion whatsoever, yet his words were filled with a deep killing intent.
Even though he was still a cripple, the three people opposite him were still afraid. They weren't afraid of him, but of the person next to him.
Just as things were getting awkward, a clearly anxious "Qi'er" broke the silence.
Yan Qifeng looked in the direction of the sound and realized that he couldn't see anything. However, he could tell that the voice was indeed his old man's, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Qifeng couldn't see it, but Liu Xingxing could see it clearly. The person who called out was being helped by two little demons through the main hall to the terrace. When he saw Yan Qifeng, his steps became even more hurried.
Although the man was being helped over by Xiao Yao, he seemed to be in good spirits and didn't look much worse than Yan Qifeng, suggesting that Mu Gu and the others had already taken care of him beforehand.
As soon as Yan Chongcai approached, he grabbed Yan Qifeng and looked him up and down, crying out, "Qi'er, I've finally seen you! You've suffered so much... You've lost so much weight, and what happened to your eyes..."
Liu Xingxing watched with great interest as Yan Chong pulled Yan Qifeng aside and began to speak in a daze, piling up all her words and not knowing what she was talking about for a long time.
The novel doesn't describe this demon emperor much, and he only appears a handful of times, mostly in Yan Qifeng's memories and narration.
He looks somewhat like Yan Qifeng and is quite a handsome middle-aged man; no wonder he has so many concubines.
The only thing Liu Xingxing found strange was why a demon emperor who had already reached the Mahayana stage would be imprisoned by those few trash. Judging from his current appearance, his dantian was not destroyed, but his cultivation level... how did it drop to the Golden Core stage?
What secret method did they use to make Yan Zhong's cultivation level regress to this extent?
Or...did he lower his cultivation level himself?
"By the way, why did they suddenly let you and me go..."
Yan Chong had only spoken half a sentence when he suddenly noticed the person not far away who was looking at him with a half-smile. Yan Chong looked at this woman, who looked young but was wearing a veil and was clearly not dressed in the clothes of their demon realm, with a puzzled look, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
Yan Zhong stopped clinging to Yan Qifeng and took a few steps closer to the woman: "You are..."
Yan Chong squinted and observed her for a while, then suddenly seemed to be startled by something and took several steps back. His eyes widened and he subconsciously wanted to raise his finger, but then he suddenly felt something was wrong and stopped himself.
After a long pause, he stammered, "You...you, you...you didn't know, didn't know it was the immortal Qingjun who had arrived. The Demon Emperor is honored. I...I have failed to greet you properly."
When the three demon kings standing there heard the words "Immortal Qingjun," they broke out in a cold sweat and felt a chill run down their spines.
So... it really was that person! =????=????(??? |||)!
Liu Xingxing was somewhat surprised that Yan Zhong would recognize her. She remembered that she had no connection with this new Demon Emperor, but she had met the former Demon Emperor once.
She only met him when she came to the demon realm on official business with her cheap master. But that was more than three thousand years ago. She didn't even know if Yan Chong was there back then.
It's not surprising that people know her, but not many have seen her face, let alone the fact that she's wearing a veil. How could anyone recognize her as Liu Jun?
Yan Qifeng probably hasn't had a chance to tell him yet; he hasn't said a single word.
Yan Zhong seemed to see the doubt in her eyes and explained very responsibly, "I was fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the immortal from afar before he went into seclusion. He was dressed in the same way. Moreover, there is only one such crystal-colored cloud-patterned divine robe in the world, which was worn by the immortal. That is why I recognize the immortal's appearance."
Liu Xingxing glanced at the robe she was wearing. She had just picked up a piece of clothing from her sea of consciousness when she came out of the stone chamber and put it on. Later, she stopped wearing it because it could change her appearance at will and was comfortable to wear.
Although it's always called a robe, it's actually a divine garment, and some people who don't recognize it just think it's some kind of high-grade immortal robe.
(ps: Divine Robes > Celestial Robes > Magic Robes, Magic Robes can also be used as a general term)
She really didn't know that this dress had such a pretentious name, or that it was the only one of its kind in the world.
"How interesting. I have already eliminated the ringleader for you. As for the remaining three, you can deal with them yourselves. If it weren't for the fact that I have a connection with your little fox, I wouldn't want to interfere in this matter any further."
Yan Zhong turned around and glanced at his son with slight surprise, thinking that this brat actually knew such a person and even managed to snag the biggest one.
Seriously... he's way more awesome than him!
Yan Zhong mentally gave his son a big thumbs up, then looked back at the three rebellious thieves who were practically invisible. He walked steadily up to them, silently scrutinized them twice, and then said in a calm tone:
“Cultivation is inherently difficult for the demon cultivators. To this day, only eleven people have emerged, including four great demon kings and seven lesser demon kings. Now, there are only ten left. The demon realm cannot afford to lose any more demon kings. What will you choose?”
The message was clear: either die here today, or live a good and obedient life as their Great Demon King. Don't even think about anything else!
Now that they know that this Immortal Qingjun is the backer of their Nine-Tailed Red Fox lineage, these demon kings who are not of fox blood dare not even dream of it.
Chi Yan is dead, and they neither can nor want to be the next Chi Yan.
Without hesitation, the three knelt down and cried out in unison, "Your subordinates swear to serve Your Majesty the Demon Emperor to the death, and Heaven bears witness!"
