Ling Shang shook his head and said, "My niece is proud and arrogant. Why would she agree so easily?"
Xuan Jianan stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth and said unconcernedly, "She has no choice. Your Ling Clan is at the end of the road! If she wants to continue, she must find a demon to marry. If she doesn't look for me, is she going to look for the Horned Demon Race or the Winged Demon Race? Or maybe she has a special hobby and wants to find a Giant Demon? "
As he said this, an evil smile appeared on Xuan Jianan's face. It was obvious that he thought of something evil. He had seen the thing of the Giant Demon Race. It was indeed proportional to the size.
"If the situation continues to be like this, she might actually bow her head to reality. However, there has been an unforeseen event today."
Hearing this, Xuan Jianan's movements paused. He put the piece of meat back down and turned to look at Ling Shang. He asked doubtfully, "Changes? What changes could there be? Could it be that she can find other Heavenly Demons other than my Xuan Clan? "
Ling Shang looked at him deeply and slowly spat out two words, "Yes."
Xuan Jianan was shocked. Although he loved to enjoy life, he was not incompetent. The Xuan Clan's bloodline was extremely thin in his generation. If he did not merge with the Ling Clan's bloodline, it would be even more difficult to produce descendants with the Heavenly Demon Bloodline after a few more generations.
At this moment, he was no longer in the mood to eat. He quickly waved his hand and asked the beautiful servant beside him to remove the food on the table. Then, he looked seriously at Ling Shang and said, "Tell me in detail, what happened?"
"People from the Heavenly Region have come."
"People from the Heavenly Region have come?" Xuan Jianan repeated doubtfully. He did not understand what this meant. But he quickly reacted and stood up. He looked at Ling Shang and said, "People from the Heavenly Region have come?"
The same two sentences, but they contained completely different meanings. The former was doubt, while the latter was surprise.
At this moment, Xuan Jianan's expression kept changing. He seemed surprised, happy, worried, and hesitant.
"Yes, people from the Heavenly Region have come. They say they want to bring us back to the Heavenly Region." Ling Shang explained the situation simply.
After confirming the news from Ling Shang, Xuan Jianan walked back and forth with his hands behind his back. He frowned.
After pacing back and forth twice, Xuan Jianan suddenly stopped and looked at Ling Shang. "Ling Jin wants to return to the Heaven Region?"
"Of course." Ling Shang said with certainty, "As long as we return to the Heaven Domain, the Ling Family's current predicament will be easily resolved, and …"
"And what?"
"Furthermore, a Demon Emperor has appeared in the Ling Clan!"
"Demon Emperor!" Xuan Jianan's eyes revealed a trace of desire. He licked his lips, and his fists were clenched tightly. That was a Demon Emperor, a supreme existence!
When he saw Xuan Jianan's expression, Ling Shang could not help but reveal a smile that was filled with contempt and ridicule.
"Don't even think about it. On this Demon Sealing Continent, even if you exhaust your entire life, you won't be able to become a Demon Lord, let alone a Demon Emperor."
Xuan Jianan was somewhat displeased that Ling Shang had poured cold water on him. He waved his hand and said, "Of course I know. However, who knows if I can become a Demon Emperor when I return to the Heaven Domain?"
Ling Shang's smile widened. "Then are you preparing to return to the Heaven Region?"
"I am …" Xuan Jianan abruptly shut his mouth and forcefully swallowed the rest of his words. He asked himself if he really wanted to return to the Heaven Region. Indeed, the majority of the Demon Sealing Continent's Demon Race wanted to return to the Heaven Region. Returning to the Heaven Region represented a wider space and the hope of limitless advancement. They would not be trapped in a corner of the Demon Sealing Continent, living a muddle-headed life. Even their descendants would have to live the same muddle-headed life.
However, this did not include Xuan Jianan. In fact, most of the Xuan Clan's clansmen were not included.
The Xuan Clan's bloodline was no longer pure. Even if the Xuan Clan in the Heaven Region still existed, would they still acknowledge Xuan Jianan's bloodline? After all, the Heavenly Demon Race was very repulsive towards clansmen with impure bloodlines. They regarded them as mutants that had tainted the Heavenly Demon Race's bloodline.
When Ling Jin and the others returned, they could proudly acknowledge their ancestors. With the protection of a Demon Emperor, their future would practically be smooth sailing.
However, this was not the case for Xuan Jianan. On the Demon Sealing Continent, he was an overlord who ruled over many Demon Races. He was a high and mighty leader. However, once he returned to the Heaven Region, he would quickly become a homeless wanderer. He would not be able to enjoy a luxurious life, and he would not have subordinates who could support him …
Xuan Jianan instantly shuddered when he thought of this. Shuddering was the best way to describe his current situation.
No, no way! This was definitely not something he could accept. Instead of returning to the Heaven Region and enduring such a miserable life, why not choose to continue staying on the Demon Sealing Continent? Although the Demon Sealing Continent was small, he was a supreme being above all demons!
Xuan Jianan snorted coldly when he saw Ling Shang's mocking expression. "You want to laugh at me? The pot calling the kettle black. Do you think you can go back just because you want to? Don't forget, you and I are the same. The Ling Clan can acknowledge Ling Jin and Ling Yu, but do you think they will acknowledge you? "
Ling Shang was not the slightest bit angered by Xuan Jianan's angry words. He only chuckled and said, "I have no intention of laughing at you. It is fine as long as you understand that we cannot go back."
"Hm? What do you mean? "Xuan Jianan frowned and asked.
"As long as the Xuan Clan does not act, Ling Jin's strength alone is not enough to break the seal on the Demon Sealing Continent. Without breaking the seal, even the Heaven Region Envoy will not be able to bring the Demon Race back to the Heaven Region."
After Ling Shang's careful explanation, Xuan Jianan finally understood the reason and his frown relaxed.
"So that's how it is. It turns out that the decision to return to the Heaven Region is in my hands. Hahaha!" Xuan Jianan threw his head back and laughed. He was in a great mood.
Seeing that Xuan Jianan was somewhat arrogant, Ling Shang frowned and reminded him, "Don't be too full of yourself. The Heaven Region Envoy will always be a variable."
After a pause, he said, "I will first convey your attitude to Ling Jin and see what she will do. Let's take one step at a time. If there is any news, I will convey it to her immediately. "
"Go, go." Xuan Jianan waved his hand casually. Since the decision was in his hands, he was not anxious at all. He might even be able to take advantage of this opportunity to get some benefits from Ling Jin.
Ling Shang quickly left the Xuan Clan's palace. When he walked outside, he could not help but raise his head and sigh softly. He was beginning to hate his father. If … he was a pure descendant of the Ling Clan, why would he be so aggrieved? However, he was the son of his father and a woman from the Xuan Clan …
