Chapter 50 - The Demon Lord is Married!
Chapter 50
The Demon Lord is Married!
Demon Realm, within the grand Demon God Hall
Twelve Demon Generals sat solemnly around a large and opulent round table, their expressions dejected and disappointed.
“There’s still no news about the Demon Lord.”
“I’ve sent people to infiltrate the Heavenly Realm, but there’s no sign of him.”
“Since the Demon Lord appeared in the Heavenly Realm once, there hasn’t been any further information.”
“Sigh… where did the Demon Lord go…!”
The Demon Generals discussed the results of their recent search.
As expected, they had found nothing.
If the Demon Lord wanted to hide, it was truly difficult for them to find him.
They had been searching for him for over a hundred years!
They finally had a lead on the Demon Lord’s whereabouts, but once again, the trail had gone cold.
The Demon Generals couldn’t help but feel discouraged and frustrated.
A burly man, built like a tank and with a scar across his face, spoke up, his voice filled with a wild aura:
“I heard that the Demon Lord went to Tiandao Palace twice!”
“Should I just storm the Heavenly Realm, capture that old geezer Tiandao Wentian, and force him to tell us?”
“You idiot, that would start another Heavenly-Demon war!”
“Do you really think all those old fogies in the Heavenly Realm are dead?”
A woman with dazzling golden hair, her fingers constantly twirling a golden ring of light, retorted, glaring at the burly man.
“Fight then, what are you afraid of!”
“Don’t tell me the ‘Decapitating Queen,’ Chi Huan, is scared?” the burly man scoffed.
“I’m scared?! You must be joking!”
“When you were still wearing diapers, my name was already known throughout the Heavenly Realm!”
In the Demon Realm, being called cowardly or weak was the greatest insult, a stain on their honor!
Hearing Kuang Qiu’s taunt, Chi Huan’s golden hair stood on end with rage. She stood up, ready to fight.
Kuang Qiu also slammed his fist on the table, shattering it, and stood up angrily.
The two glared at each other, the tension palpable.
The other Demon Generals, however, remained calm and indifferent, unfazed by the commotion.
This happened often; they were used to it…
Several Demon Hall guards skillfully brought a new table and placed it in the center.
“Enough!”
“With the Demon Lord absent, have you all become lawless?!”
“How many times have I told you not to destroy the table?!”
A cold voice echoed from the darkness of the hall. Kuang Qiu and Chi Huan, their faces pale with fear, obediently sat back down.
A woman with a dignified and graceful figure, her face breathtakingly beautiful and cold, emerged from the darkness, her steps elegant and composed.
“Left Guardian…!”
Seeing the woman arrive, everyone respectfully addressed her.
The woman was Yue Qingyou, one of the two guardians of the Demon Realm, the Left Guardian.
Her status in the Demon Realm was second only to the Demon Lord. She was not only the Demon Lord’s guardian but also the supreme commander of the Demon Realm.
Many affairs of the Demon Realm were personally managed by her.
During the Demon Lord’s absence, she was responsible for the operation and maintenance of the entire Demon Realm.
Both her strength and status surpassed the thirteen Demon Generals!
Yue Qingyou’s cold, beautiful eyes scanned the crowd, and she noticed an empty seat. She frowned slightly and asked, “Where is Ye Tianshen? Why is he absent from the Demon God meeting?”
“I heard he went to the Mortal Realm to search for clues about the Demon Lord,”
Another woman replied. She had a dignified posture, an icy cold expression, and eyes that showed no emotion. She held a long blade, over two meters long, resting on her shoulder.
“Go and bring him back.”
“He cannot be absent from the Demon God meeting.”
Hearing that Ye Tianshen was searching for clues about the Demon Lord, Yue Qingyou’s frown softened slightly, and she gave the order.
“No need, I’ve already returned.”
“Greetings, Left Guardian.”
Just then, Ye Tianshen emerged from the shadows and greeted Yue Qingyou respectfully.
“Ye Tianshen, you should know the importance of the Demon God meeting, right?” Yue Qingyou asked, her tone laced with reproach.
Then, she noticed the injury on his chest and frowned.
“You’re injured?!”
The others also looked surprised and bewildered.
Ye Tianshen was the commander of the First Legion, one of the thirteen Demon Generals, and his strength was among the best in the Demon Realm!
It had been a long time since anyone had seen him injured!
Ye Tianshen glanced at the injury on his chest and said nonchalantly, “It’s just a minor injury.”
“It’s a punishment for myself.”
“Punishment…?” Yue Qingyou asked in confusion.
Who in the Demon Realm could punish Ye Tianshen?
Ye Tianshen didn’t answer. Instead, he placed his hand on his chest and reported to Yue Qingyou:
“Left Guardian, I have seen the Demon Lord!”
What?!
In an instant, everyone’s eyes were glued to Ye Tianshen. They all stood up excitedly and asked,
“What?! You’ve seen the Demon Lord?!”
“Quickly tell us! Where is the Demon Lord now?”
“How is the Demon Lord now?”
“Has the Demon Lord returned?!”
“Where did you meet the Demon Lord?!”
The Demon Generals bombarded Ye Tianshen with questions, not even giving him a chance to speak.
“Silence!!”
Fortunately, Yue Qingyou stepped forward and silenced the crowd.
Currently, the only one in the Demon Realm who could command the respect of the thirteen Demon Generals was Yue Qingyou.
She appeared before Ye Tianshen in a flash and asked urgently, “You found the Demon Lord?!”
“Yes!”
“Where is he?”
“The Demon Lord is currently in seclusion in the Mortal Realm.”
“In the Mortal Realm…” Yue Qingyou murmured.
So the Demon Lord had been hiding in the Mortal Realm all this time…
The others exchanged glances, wondering why their Demon Lord would go to the Mortal Realm.
“Where is the Demon Lord? Why didn’t he return with you?” Yue Qingyou asked, frowning with displeasure as she looked behind Ye Tianshen.
This was the question everyone was most concerned about.
“The Demon Lord… he refused to return with me…” Ye Tianshen replied helplessly.
“Then you should have tied him up and brought him back!” Yue Qingyou said angrily.
They had finally found the Demon Lord after so long; if they let him escape again, who knew when they would find him again!
“I dare not disobey the Demon Lord…” Ye Tianshen said helplessly.
In the entire Demon Realm, besides Yue Qingyou, no one dared to speak to the Demon Lord like that…
Not to mention the issue of disobedience, he was simply no match for the Demon Lord!
Yue Qingyou knew this as well. She wasn’t truly blaming Ye Tianshen, but she was frustrated at the thought of missing this opportunity and not knowing when they would be able to bring the Demon Lord back.
“Tell me where the Demon Lord is!”
“I will personally go and find him!”
Yue Qingyou demanded.
“Left Guardian, the Demon Lord said… he said we shouldn’t disturb his current life…” Ye Tianshen hesitated for a moment before replying.
“Why?!”
“Could it be that the Demon Lord really doesn’t intend to return to the Demon Realm…?”
Yue Qingyou’s face was filled with disappointment, and she clenched her fists in frustration.
Since the Demon Lord had said so, if she went to find him, it would be defying his wishes…
The other Demon Generals also lowered their heads dejectedly.
However, Ye Tianshen’s lips curled into a slight smile, and he continued, “The Demon Lord hasn’t abandoned us.”
“It’s just that he has more important things to do now.”
“More important things?”
“What could be more important than the entire Demon Realm?” the others asked, their faces filled with confusion.
Ye Tianshen closed his eyes, a smile gracing his cold face. Then, he announced the bombshell news.
“The Demon Lord is married!”
