Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

According to the cultivation level of human cultivators, Qinglin...

He can be considered a cultivator in the Void Refinement stage.

Comparable to the top human powerhouse.

Their status among the demon race is even more exalted.

Now that I've been injured by that mere Nascent Soul cultivator, how can I save face?

"Human brat, you've injured my demon elder!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill him! Avenge Elder Qinglin!"

It's unclear which demon cultivator shouted that.

Those demon cultivators who advocated war all came to their senses.

They no longer cared about whether or not the princess was being harmed.

Right now, a human cultivator has severed the arm of their Void Refinement level elder in front of so many demons.

If this gets out...

Where do they put the face of their demon race?

Dozens of demon cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage surged forward simultaneously.

broken.

Su Chen hadn't expected that this would directly provoke the wrath of the demon race.

...

"Stop it, all of you!"

With a sound.

But it was just such a casual remark.

An overwhelming pressure swept over us.

That oppressive aura was many times stronger than Elder Qinglin's.

The hall was filled with demonic cultivators.

They all knelt down in unison.

They lay face down on the ground, not daring to lift their heads.

Su Chen's pupils also contracted sharply.

Good guy.

This aura...

Although he was comparable to a human cultivator at the Void Refinement stage.

He is definitely several times stronger than Li Ziran, a cultivator in the early stage of the Void Refinement realm.

I fear his strength is around the late stage of the Void Refinement realm.

Su Chen looked up.

A demon cultivator dressed in dark blue armor with green scales slowly walked over.

This person's appearance is more like that of a young human cultivator.

But his demeanor and imposing presence, coupled with those unsettling eyes, made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

This is enough to show that this person's status is by no means ordinary.

"Father!"

Yue Li exclaimed in surprise.

Old Demon King!!!

interesting...

It seems I'm safe now.

After all, this old demon king had no reason to deal with him.

He not only helped his daughter inherit the legacy, but he was also her savior.

In fact, from the very first day Su Chen entered this demon city.

I figured out a bit of the trick.

That old demon king.

On the surface, he was physically unwell and bedridden.

The pro-war faction's momentum grew stronger day by day.

But Su Chen watched coldly from the sidelines these past few days.

The more I looked at it, the more something seemed off.

This old demon king is not weak at all.

It was all an act.

The old demon king is playing the long game.

He was just waiting for Elder Qinglin to jump out.

Elder Qinglin, relying on his high cultivation level, had long been a threat to the old demon king's authority.

The old demon king didn't touch him.

It's not that I don't want to move.

There is no legitimate reason to give.

Today's events have given him a legitimate reason to eliminate Qing Lin.

...

"Azure Scales".

"He plotted to murder my daughter."

"This charge."

"So, do you admit it or not?"

The question didn't even give Qinglin a chance to explain.

He just put the hat on right away.

Elder Qinglin lay on the ground, clutching his severed arm, his whole body trembling.

"Your Majesty..."

"This old minister is innocent!"

"The old minister intends to kill that human spy!"

"The princess...she was wrongly accused..."

He was only halfway through his sentence.

Elder Qinglin suddenly shut his mouth.

broken.

be cheated.

As soon as those words were spoken...

Doesn't that mean he's admitting that he really wanted to kill Su Chen?

"accidental injury?"

"My daughter is in your eyes."

"Is it just those ants that can be accidentally injured?"

"Furthermore, there are rules for entering the abyss, and everyone must rely on their own abilities."

"As an elder, one should not interfere."

"And the princess is with this human boy."

"How dare you say you don't have any ulterior motives towards the princess now that you've made your move?"

"Throw him into the Frozen Bone Cave to await his fate."

Several royal guards dragged the armless Elder Qinglin away.

The entire hall was filled with demon cultivators, all kneeling on the ground, not daring to breathe.

The old demon king waved his hand.

"Everyone, step back."

"No one is to mention this matter again."

The demon cultivators felt as if they had been granted a pardon, and one by one they quickly retreated.

Inside the vast hall.

In the blink of an eye, only Su Chen, Yue Li, and the old demon king remained.

The old demon king glanced at his daughter's cultivation level, which had increased significantly.

She glanced at Su Chen again.

A knowing glint flashed in those cloudy eyes.

"Yue Li".

"You can go down now."

"I'd like to have a few words with this young master Su."

Yue Li glanced at Su Chen, then at her own father.

They seemed somewhat uneasy.

"Go."

Su Chenchong nodded to her.

Only then did Yue Li retreat, turning back every few steps.

...

The hall fell silent.

The green light from the demon core lamp fell on the old demon king's deeply furrowed face.

"Young Master Su."

The old demon king spoke first.

"My daughter."

"Your cultivation level has increased rather quickly."

Su Chen was stunned for a moment.

Hey.

That old fox.

It was obvious at a glance.

"You flatter me, senior."

"The princess is exceptionally intelligent..."

"I've lived alone for so many years."

The old demon king interrupted him slowly.

"What kind of extraordinary talent could allow someone in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm to reach the threshold of the late-stage Nascent Soul realm in just a few days?"

"not to mention."

The old demon king's gaze swept over Su Chen.

"On my daughter's body."

"It also carries a...pure yang energy."

Su Chen's face stiffened for a moment.

broken.

This can't be kept secret anymore.

Su Chenqian chuckled twice.

"Your senior is wise."

"That... dual cultivation was purely to help the princess refine her inheritance."

"Emergency."

"Absolutely not, not even the slightest... improper thought."

The old demon king stared at Su Chen for a long time.

Suddenly, he gave a bitter laugh.

"It's a matter for young people."

"I'm just an old man with one foot in the grave, I can't be bothered with this."

"I know my daughter's thoughts very well."

"If she really has feelings for you."

"That's her fate."

Su Chen: "..."

have to.

This conversation has gone completely off track.

...

Let's not talk about this anymore.

The old demon king waved his hand, bringing the conversation back on track.

"Let's get down to business."

"Angry Scales in Green Robes"

"It is one of the three great treasures of my demon race."

"Immune to water and fire, ordinary Void Refining techniques cannot get close to him."

"It is an excellent protective charm."

"Senior, this..."

Su Chen looked embarrassed.

So, even though he got something good, this old man saw right through him.

"Take it."

The old demon king waved his hand.

"You saved the orphan girl's life."

"This is my gift of gratitude to you."

"later."

"We're even."

"We owe each other nothing."

Su Chen hadn't expected that this old demon king was such an open and honest person.

"but."

The old demon king changed the subject.

"There is something I need to ask you first."

"Please speak, senior."

Su Chen cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"This battle at Tian Shu Star City."

The old demon king sighed.

"Our demon race has lost four elders who were comparable to those at the Void Refinement stage."

"There are also dozens of young men who have reached the Nascent Soul stage."

"The casualties are too heavy."

"Now, many demon cultivators in the clan are clamoring for revenge."

"Even I, as the king, cannot suppress my anger."

The old demon king raised his eyes and looked at Su Chen.

"Young Master Su."

"You are a human cultivator."

"You have to tell me the truth."

"What is the current situation of the human race?"

"I have made my decision. Should we continue this war or not?"

...
