"Yes." The lady nodded lightly.
"What … what's your name?" At this moment, the demon's voice clearly became a little hurried, as if it was completely different from the iciness from before.
"Yun Qingwu." The lady replied.
"Yun Qingwu!" The demon stared intently at the lady in front of him. Looking at the face covered by the black cloak, he swallowed his saliva and said, "How can I trust you?"
The lady did not answer the demon's question. She slowly raised her hand and took off the black cloak covering her head, revealing a beautiful face.
Beautiful eyebrows, thin lips, and a pair of calm eyes. She stood quietly in front of the demon, ignoring the hundreds of powerful demons around her.
"There's no Demon Eye!" The demon's eyes widened as he stared at Yun Qingwu's snow-white forehead. His entire body trembled, then his demonic face revealed a look of shock. However, after the shock, the demon seemed to have thought of something, "Where's King Xieluo? Why didn't he follow? "
"He's dead." Yun Qingwu replied calmly.
"Impossible! King Xieluo is the Demon King. His duty is to protect you in secret. As long as he doesn't step into the Holy Region and doesn't participate in the war, how can he die?! "
"He's indeed dead. He died in the war between the Holy Barbarian Empire and the Great Xia Dynasty."
"King Xieluo would never participate in the war between the two empires. He knows the rules. Unless, it's your order?"
"Yes." Yun Qingwu nodded.
"Do you know that King Xieluo is my brother?" The demon's voice was trembling.
Yun Qingwu did not speak, but a glint flashed across her eyes. After a while, this glint disappeared and her face regained its calmness.
"Can you tell me the reason?"
"The thirteen Heaven Dao Sage Tablets of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"Heaven Dao Sage Tablets … I understand now. My brother's death was worth it!" Hearing this, the Demon nodded his head. Then, he knelt on the ground and said, "The Demon Race's General 'Xie Yi' pays his respects to the Young Emperor. Please grant me death to atone for my transgressions!"
After Xie Yi finished speaking, he spat out a blue pearl. The pearl floated in the air and floated in front of Yun Qingwu. It glowed faintly.
It was a Yao Dan.
Moreover, it was a Beast Core that was infinitely close to the King Level.
However, when they saw Xieyi spit out the Demon Pearl, the surrounding demons did not stop him at all. They were not even surprised by Xieyi's actions.
Plop!
Plop!
"…"
A series of kneeling sounds rang out.
The hundred demons that were originally standing on top of the beast's head were now all prostrated on the ground. Not a single one of them dared to raise their heads. Most importantly, as the hundred demons prostrated on the ground, the hundred Yao Cores floated into the air at the same time.
It was a shocking scene.
"Those who don't know are innocent. Bring me to see my mother." After saying that, Yun Qingwu's black cloak fell to the ground, revealing her snow-white dress.
"Please wait for a moment, Young Emperor!" XieYi's body trembled. Then, he carefully took a few steps back and quickly disappeared into the grey fog.
However, the demon core that was floating in the air did not return.
After a while, two boats appeared in front of Yun Qingwu. One of the boats was empty, while the other had a seat on it. The seat was covered with a brand new silver-white carpet.
Then, XieYi prostrated on the ground again, using his body as a cushion.
"Why didn't you return the Demon Pearl?" Yun Qingwu did not board the boat immediately. Instead, she looked at the Demon Pearl that was still floating in the air and asked calmly.
"Offending the Young Emperor is a capital offense!" XieYi replied while prostrating himself.
"If I step on your head to board the boat, will you be able to live?" Yun Qingwu nodded lightly, as if she was not surprised by XieYi's reply.
"There's a 50% chance!" XieYi replied again.
"I understand." Yun Qingwu did not ask further. Instead, she took a few steps back and extended her hand to Ying Dao.
Ying Dao immediately understood and presented the blade in his hand to Yun Qingwu respectfully.
Yun Qingwu took the blade from Ying Dao's hand and returned to XieYi. Then, she stabbed the blade in her hand towards XieYi's palm that was prostrated on the ground.
"Slash!" XieYi's palm was nailed to the ground by the blade.
XieYi's brows furrowed subconsciously but he did not make a sound nor did he do anything.
After Yun Qingwu stabbed him with the blade, she lifted her leg and stepped on XieYi's head. Then, she slowly boarded the boat and sat on the chair.
"I have punished you on behalf of my mother. You can lead the way now!" Yun Qingwu's voice rang out at this moment. It was very soft, but it was clearly heard by all the monsters.
XieYi's body trembled violently and his blue eyes were filled with disbelief. However, a moment later, XieYi turned around and his palm was sliced open by the blade.
"Thank you, Young Emperor, for your punishment!"
"Let's go."
"Yes!" Xie Yi nodded. Then, the Demon Pearl that was floating in the air was swallowed back into his mouth. Then, Xie Yi looked at the group of black figures behind him. At the same time, he pointed to the other boat. "Please board!"
"Thank you!" Ying Dao nodded and slowly retreated to the back of the other black figures.
When the other black figures saw Ying Dao retreating, they nodded at Xie Yi one after another. Then, they quickly walked towards the other boat.
"Elders of the Ten Devilish Domains?" When XieYi saw this, his expression changed slightly. His blue eyes looked at the black figures who had boarded the boat.
"Nine Devilish Domains." An old voice rang out on the boat.
"I understand." XieYi did not ask any further and quickly boarded the boat that Yun Qingwu was on. He tapped the boat lightly with one foot and the boat quickly turned into the grey fog.
If one looked closely, they could see that there was a black metal chain behind the boat that Yun Qingwu was on. It was locked onto the boat that Ying Dao was on.
The boat was not moving very fast.
However, it disappeared into the grey fog very quickly. On both sides of the boat, there were ten figures that were as tall as small mountains following the boat and moving slowly.
As for the hundreds of monsters that appeared in front of Yun Qingwu previously, they had already disappeared into the grey fog. However, the roars of beasts could be heard from time to time.
…
The Great Swamp, an important place for the monsters.
In the middle of the Great Swamp, there was a small island. It was not covered by the grey fog and looked like an otherworldly peach garden in the Great Swamp. However, it was not planted with peach trees, but with many stone tablets. There were some words on each stone tablet, but they could not be seen clearly.
A path made of gravel appeared in the middle of the stone tablets, leading straight to a gigantic black stone palace in the middle of the island.
Yun Qingwu leaped down from the boat.
XieYi quickened his steps and led the way. After a while, under XieYi's lead, Yun Qingwu and the ten black figures arrived in front of the black stone palace.
The palace was simple and did not have many details. However, at the top of the palace, there was a gigantic piece of white jade embedded in the black stone palace. The jade was carved into the head of a beast.
It was a white fox, the Nine-tailed White Fox.
XieYi knelt down again and kowtowed to the Nine-tailed White Fox thrice. Then, he slowly stood up and bowed respectfully to Yun Qingwu. "Young Empress, please!"
"Mm." Yun Qingwu nodded and walked towards the black stone palace. The ten black figures stopped and quietly guarded the entrance of the black stone palace.
She walked into the black stone palace.
On Yun Qingwu's left and right, stone statues appeared one after another. There were a total of nine statues, each of them had a different shape and form. However, their aura was extremely demonic.
After passing through the nine stone statues, Yun Qingwu arrived at the entrance of the black stone palace.
"Greetings, Young Empress!" The two monsters guarding the entrance of the palace immediately bowed to Yun Qingwu and quickly opened the door.
Yun Qingwu nodded again and slowly walked into the palace.
This was a brightly decorated palace. As compared to the Great Swamp outside, the lighting here was much brighter. The stone walls of the palace were embedded with jewels, giving off a faint glow.
At the top of the palace, there was a chair made of white jade. A lady sat on the chair. She wore a white fur dress and her beautiful long hair flowed down her shoulders.
From her appearance, she was not more than 20 years old. Her facial features were terrifyingly exquisite. She had a pair of black phoenix eyes, beautiful eyebrows, and snow-white skin.
This was a lady who was the epitome of beauty in the world. She was noble, elegant, exquisite, and had a demonic aura that seeped out from her bones.
"You're here." The lady spoke calmly, but there was an irresistible charm in her voice. It was as if these two simple words could seduce a person's soul.
"You're here." Yun Qingwu nodded lightly.
"How is he?"
"Father, he's fine."
"The elders of the ten domains have come to the nine domains. You didn't come here just to see me, right?" The lady spoke again, a faint glow in her black phoenix eyes.
"Yes, I would like to ask mother to fulfill the promise from years ago." Yun Qingwu did not seem to mind the lady's attitude towards her. Even if the lady in front of her was her real mother.
"Promise? Haha … it's just a promise to make use of each other. You should know that you're just a failed product of a failed marriage. "The lady smiled lightly.
"But I still have the blood of the Demon Race in me."
"Only half!" The lady's tone seemed to be slightly agitated.
"Even if it's only half, it's still the most noble half!" Yun Qingwu's tone changed at this moment, becoming extremely determined.
"Yes, the most noble half, but also the most failed half. You don't have the Demon Eye, the symbol of the Demon Race, nor do you have the Demon Body, the symbol of the Demon Race. The Demon Emperor, the Demon Emperor, gave birth to a piece of trash? What a joke! If I'm not wrong, you can no longer stay in the Demon Race, right? "The lady said scornfully.
"Didn't King Xieluo send you any messages?"
"No, ever since you were chased out of the Blood Shadow City, I've already ordered that we no longer receive any messages from him. Why? From your tone, it seems like you're back in the Blood Shadow City? "
"Yes."
"Haha, so what if you're back in the Blood Shadow City? The Demon Race is a race that prioritizes power. Even if you're back in the Blood Shadow City, you're just an accessory that your father used to maintain the alliance between the Monsters and Demons. "The lady said scornfully again.
"I'm already the Young Lord of the Demon Race." Yun Qingwu replied calmly.
"Young Lord? Haha … interesting. Did you just become the Young Lord of the Demon Race before you came here? "
"No, when I was five, I was already the Young Lord of the Demon Race." Yun Qingwu shook her head.
"Five?" The woman's expression finally changed. She stared at Yun Qingwu with her black phoenix eyes, as if she wanted to see something from Yun Qingwu's face. However, there was only calmness on Yun Qingwu's face. "Interesting. A race like the Demon Race actually made a five-year-old child their Young Master. Tell me about it!"
"Although I don't have the Demon Eye, I inherited the calmness of the Demon Race. Similarly, I don't have the Demon Body, but I inherited the wisdom of the Nine-Tailed White Fox. Isn't that enough?" Yun Qingwu asked.
"Is that so? Then what did you do? "The lady asked back.
"I only did one thing. I gathered the Demon soldiers of the six domains outside the Blood Shadow City and broke into it!" Yun Qingwu replied calmly.
"Hahaha, you broke into the Blood Shadow City? Just you? Are you going to tell me that you became the Young Lord of the Demon Race at the age of five because you broke into the Blood Shadow City at the age of five? "
"Yes, I broke into the Blood Shadow City at the age of five. I used the soldiers of the six domains to surround the Demon soldiers of the four domains and attacked the entrance of the Demon Race's palace."
"You really broke into the Blood Shadow City at the age of five?"
"Yes." Yun Qingwu nodded again.
"Five years old …" When the woman heard this, she fell silent. After a while, her eyes shone brightly. "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"First, I want you to admit that I am the Young Empress of the Monster Race."
"You are my only daughter. Naturally, you are the Young Empress of the Monster Race. Even if I don't want to admit it, it is impossible." The lady replied casually.
"I want more than a name. I want the right to mobilize the Monster Race!"
"How many do you want?"
"All of them, including you, mother!"
"Hahaha … you are only 20 years old this year, right? You sure talk big. Sure, I will give you a chance. However, you have to do something first. "
"What is it?"
"The Five Sects of the Holy Region have trapped the Monster Race for so many years. You can choose any one of them to destroy. I think this should be easy for you, right?"
"Alright, but I need five Monster Kings." Yun Qingwu nodded. She was not surprised by the lady's request. She was still as calm as still water.
"Five? Haha, you want to destroy one of the Five Sects of the Holy Region with just five Monster Kings? Don't you know that even though the Five Sects of the Holy Region have internal strife, they will definitely unite in times of crisis? How about this, I will give you 10 Monster Kings as compensation for not visiting you for the past 20 years! "
"No, I only need five!"
"Oh?! Alright, if you can really use five Monster Kings to destroy any one of the Five Sects of the Holy Region within a year, I, 'Baizhi', will listen to your orders! "
"I don't need a year, three months is enough." After saying that, Yun Qingwu turned around and walked out of the hall.
Monster Emperor Baizhi, on the other hand, looked at Yun Qingwu's disappearing figure quietly. A hint of gentleness appeared on her exquisite face. However, this gentleness only lasted for a split second. Very quickly, Baizhi's face became expressionless again.
"Arrange for the Young Empress to rest in the East Hall!"
"Yes!" A respectful voice was heard from outside the hall.
…
When Yun Qingwu stepped into the Great Swamp, in the west of the Holy Region, in the sky above a long mountain range, a gigantic beast was soaring in the sky.
The beast was extremely fast. As it flew past the mountain range, its gigantic wings created a whirlwind that blew away the thick white fog that permeated the mountain range.
Gradually, an area that was hidden in the thick white fog appeared.
It was obvious that this was a gigantic herb farm planted in the mountain range. There were all sorts of herbs, red, green, purple, blue …
At this moment, a figure leaped down from the back of the beast. Under the bright moonlight, one could clearly see that the figure was carrying another person in her arms.
A strong gust of wind blew past, causing the blue robe to dance in the air.
