Chapter 252: The True Phoenix Demon King
Facing a Demon Emperor, they could feel the oppression emanating from the soul itself, making it no easy task to mobilize their bloodline power in front of such a sovereign. This was power, overwhelming power. In the face of absolute suppression, no amount of fighting spirit seemed to make any difference.
The Celestial Fox youth seated to the right of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, slowly stood up. His gaze swept over the high-ranking officials of Kali City before him, and he said indifferently, “From this moment, the investigation into this matter has commenced under the auspices of the Demon Emperor. Until the investigation concludes, none of you may leave this place.”
The Golden Deer Demon King said coldly, “We are all leaders of our respective clans. The Demon Emperor’s investigation does not concern us. Who are you, and what right do you have to detain us?”
The Celestial Fox youth smiled slightly, responding, “Who I am is unimportant. What matters is that I carry the Demon Emperor’s decree. Those who object are free to try and leave. The consequences will become apparent when the time comes for reckoning.”
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Golden Deer Demon King, but he dared not act. The pressure exerted by a Demon Emperor was simply too formidable. He was at the true pinnacle of their kind, an existence they simply could not contend with.
The implications of “future reckoning” were abundantly clear.
Kali City lacked an emperor, and the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, the new sovereign, had no city of his own. More importantly, this Demon Emperor had a mutated bloodline and had no direct descendants. This made him the perfect figure to pledge allegiance to—after all, when there were no bloodline descendants to compete with, everyone had a chance to rise to prominence. Thus, upon his ascension, many powerful beings immediately flocked to his side.
The leaders of various clans present were no fools; they naturally understood the real purpose behind the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor’s visit to Kali City. The investigation into the Ice Dragon Great Demon King incident was merely a pretext, the main goal being to overpower the Peacock Great Demon King and seize control of Kali City.
The Crimson Fox Demon King acted as if nothing had happened, sitting there meekly without uttering a word. Even the leaders who supported the Great Peacock Demon King in previous meetings were unsure of what to do, so they opted to remain silent.
The youth before them clearly wasn’t even in the god tier. Yet, he could act as the second-in-command among the powerful beings the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor brought because he was a descendant of the Celestial Fox clan.
The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor was regarded as a great sage and prophet, controlling the fate of the entire world. Naturally, any member of the Celestial Fox clan was highly respected.
Members of the Celestial Fox clan were scarce, and regardless of which race they visited, they were treated as honored guests. However, due to their proud nature, they would only follow those with immensely strong destinies. Thus, the only way to truly gain the allegiance of a Celestial Fox was to become a Demon Emperor. Every Demon Emperor would have a Celestial Fox clan member sent to assist and accompany them.
The Celestial Fox youth accompanying the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor had not yet reached godhood, but no one dared to underestimate him.
The Celestial Fox turned to the powerful beings who had come with him and said indifferently, “I would ask Qi Yu and Ding Hao, our honored guests, to bring forth the direct bloodline members of the Peacock Demon clan.”
Two middle-aged men stood up. They both had human forms, but what distinguished them was the color of their hair. Qi Yu’s hair was strikingly crimson, while Ding Hao’s was an eye-catching aqua.
They had respectfully stood behind the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, and until now, they had not shown any sign of their bloodline power. But the moment they stood up, as the high-ranking officials of Kali City paled at the words of the Celestial Fox youth, a terrifying bloodline pressure suddenly burst forth from them.
True phoenixes! The Golden Capricorn King inhaled sharply, his complexion turning sour.
Indeed, the aura bursting from these two guests indicated that they were from a true phoenix clan. The immense pressure from their bloodline made the high-ranking officials of Kali City dare not move an inch.
Great Demon Kings, these were two phoenix Great Demon Kings! Among the Great Demon Kings, they were of the highest echelon. In terms of individual strength and bloodline, they could be considered on par with the Peacock Great Demon King himself! Aall 𝒏𝒆west ch𝒂pt𝒆rs on n.o./v𝒆l𝒃i/n/(.)c𝒐m
The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor was clearly well-prepared. The fact that he had brought along two Great Demon Kings made it clear that he intended to do things by force if that was required.
The faces of the Kali City officials, who had been prepared to protest, now appeared pale. What could they say in the presence of two Great Demon Kings?
Moreover, these two were not the only ones accompanying the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor. Among the dozen strong beings, aside from the two Great Demon Kings, the rest were demon kings, all at the tenth order.
The aura of the two phoenixes surged immensely, spreading in ripples around them and throughout the entire mansion. The next moment, from behind the city lord’s mansion, two powerful auras also burst forth, directly countering the presence of the two true phoenix Great Demon Kings.
Two flashes of silver light appeared almost instantly, revealing the figures of two people, a man and a woman. Their faces looked young, but their silver hair and the depth of age in their eyes betrayed their true age.
“It’s been a long time, Wang siblings,” said Ding Hao with a smile.
The two siblings of the Peacock Demon race responded indifferently, “So, you’ve pledged allegiance to Lin Ximo.”
Qi Yu said, “A wise bird chooses its tree to nest in. His Majesty has ascended to the Demon Emperor status and is, of our kin, naturally the most worthy of allegiance. If you’re willing, we can introduce you. Wang Han, Wang Yu, do you really intend to follow this path to its dark end?”
The woman, Wang Yu, whose aura also indicated her status as a Great Demon King, coldly said, “Are you unaware of the enmity between my clan and the Crystal Phoenix lineage? What’s the point of your cold words? This is the territory of the Peacock Demon race, and we won’t tolerate your wild behavior. State your intentions plainly.”
Ding Hao said indifferently, “We are here on the orders of the Ancestral Court, accompanying His Majesty, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of the Rainbow Deer Demon Emperor’s essence blood and the Ice Dragon Great Demon King’s lineage. The disappearance of the Ice Dragon Great Demon King has enraged the Dragon Emperor. This matter must be thoroughly investigated, and anyone daring to obstruct the investigation will be shown no mercy. We suspect this matter is related to your Peacock Demon clan. Now, bring all your clan members here to wait for questioning. Refusal means defying the orders of the Ancestral Court.”
“Nonsense! What does the Rainbow Deer Demon Emperor’s essence blood have to do with our clan? We have no idea where the Ice Dragon Great Demon King is. You’re just looking for an excuse to accuse us,” Wang Yu exclaimed. Her aura surged, causing the space around her to distort violently.
Ding Hao and Qi Yu showed no fear, and their auras exploded in turn.
Just then, a hazy white light spread out, and under the envelopment of this white glow, even the spatial powers released by Wang Yu, a Great Demon King, started to become strangely chaotic.
Wang Han and Wang Yu’s expressions changed. “Celestial Fox Vision?”
They were both senior Great Demon Kings, so in terms of cultivation, they did not fear Ding Hao and Qi Yu. Even if the latter two were of a true phoenix bloodline, it was still hard to say who would win or lose if they really fought. However, the moment the Celestial Fox Vision manifested, their hearts sank.
