Ye Zhen had never been to the Demon Palace before, but she had heard Ming Xi mention it to her. The last two times she had passed through the Flame Region, she had only passed through the borders. Now that she had personally come to the Demon Palace, she discovered that it was not as gloomy and dark as she had imagined.
The layout was similar to the Zhou Kingdom palaces she had seen. However, because the sky of the Flame Region did not have any sunlight all year round, it appeared a little darker and colder.
"The Blaze Region doesn't have any spiritual energy, nor does it have sunlight. In order to adapt to the miasma of the swamps in the Blaze Region, we can only find a way to cultivate that suits us. Because our methods are different, the martial artists of the Xuantian Continent think that we are using magic." Shangshang walked alongside Ye Zhen, casually explaining the cultivation methods of the Blaze Region to her.
Ye Zhen's beautiful face was expressionless. "If you didn't use such a cruel method to seize the martial artists' spiritual energy, today's situation would not have happened."
"Yao Yao, that is a Dark Warrior, not a Flame Demon. Flame Demons do not need to use such a method to steal Spiritual Qi. Although there are some Flame Demons who steal other people's Spiritual Qi in order to increase their cultivation faster, this is not something we allow." The Supreme said in a low voice.
"Then why are the people of the Xuantian Continent so afraid of you?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows.
The Supreme was silent for a moment. "That would have to go back many years."
"All right." Ye Zhen did not ask any more questions. She was not interested in learning the ins and outs of the Flame Devil.
"This palace is so big …" Ye Zhen looked back. This should not be an ordinary palace in the Demon Palace, right? It was several times bigger than her Eternal Life Palace.
She was puzzled, but before the Emperor could answer her, she saw a familiar figure appear from the palace gate.
Ye Jingshu! Ye Zhen looked at Shangshang indifferently.
"Why is she here?" Ye Jingshu's face, which had always been calm and indifferent, was trying to restrain her anger. She did not want to appear too excited in front of Ye Zhen, which would make people think that she was afraid.
"You should be cultivating in seclusion." The Supreme Lord frowned slightly, his tone cold and distant.
Ye Jingshu turned to look at him, her eyes filled with indignation and anger. "You won't let me live in my own palace, but you let her live here?"
"High Priest." At this moment, two young men dressed in gray robes hurriedly came looking for him.
"Please ask Miss Ye to return." The Lord lightly said.
"You don't want to admit that I'm the Demon King because you haven't given up yet. You think she will come back, right?" Ye Jingshu coldly stared at the Demon King and asked.
"No, it's not because of her. It's because you still don't have the ability to become a demon king."
"High Priest, I heard that our King has returned?" Two elderly Flame Devils came in from the outside of the palace. When they saw Ye Zhen beside the Supreme, their faces flashed with surprise and they knelt down one after another. "Welcome back, my king."
"…" Ye Rou was stunned for a moment. She turned sideways to avoid their salutes. "I'm not your demon king."
Seeing this scene, Ye Jingshu's eyes were like poisonous swords. If her eyes could kill, she would have killed Ye Zhen thousands of times.
"Elders, what makes you think she's the Demon King? Then what am I? "Ye Jingshu asked coldly.
"This …" They were the elders of the Devil Palace, old men who had served two generations of Flame Devil Kings. They could sense the familiar aura of the Devil Core on Ye Zhen, but this Ye Jingshu also had the aura of a Flame Devil King.
How could this be?
"Yao Yao is our honored guest. Don't scare her." The Supreme said indifferently.
"High Priest, the Eternal Lamp of the Priest Hall lit up today." One of the elders said in a low voice. "Every generation of Flame Devil King falls, the Eternal Lamp goes out. Only when the Flame Devil King returns will the Eternal Lamp light up again."
Ye Jingshu's face turned ashen. "Could it be that the Eternal Lamp didn't light up when I came back?"
"This …" The two elders looked at each other, then turned their gazes to the Supreme.
"Indeed, it didn't." The Supreme said indifferently. "It didn't completely light up, and it has been dim for the past few days."
"Impossible!" Ye Jingshu's face turned even uglier. "I am the Flame Devil King. This is an unchangeable fact."
Ye Zhen stood silently at the side, watching everything with cold eyes, as if what others were saying had nothing to do with her.
"Elders, send Miss Ye back." The Supreme couldn't persuade Ye Jingshu, so he could only give the order.
"Supreme, just you wait. Even without the devil's core, I can still restore my Demon King's cultivation. Just you wait!" Ye Jingshu's cultivation was not as good as the Supreme, so she could only swallow her anger.
When they all left, the Supreme looked back at Ye Zhen. "I've let you see a joke."
"Do you want to use me to stimulate Ye Jingshu?" Ye Zhen asked indifferently.
"Why do you ask?" The Supreme looked down at her. "Do you think I'm using you?"
"You know I won't stay to become the Flame Devil King." Ye Zhen said.
With a smile on his thin lips, the Supreme fixed his eyes on her. "I know, but I still hope you can stay for a few days."
Ye Zhen looked straight into his eyes. "Why don't you let Ye Jingshu become the Flame Devil King? Although her cultivation is not good, what about you?"
"Yao Yao …" The Supreme called her name helplessly.
"You'd better call me Ye Zhen." Ye Zhen said faintly.
The Supreme whispered, "Whether it was before or now, I will not hurt you."
"Then why did you bring me here?" A mocking smile appeared on Ye Zhen's lips.
"If you don't refine your devil core, it will harm you in the future." The Supreme said. "You don't have to worry about Ye Jingshu. She can't take your devil core away."
Ye Zhen said, "I'd rather give it to her."
"If she gets it, she will kill you," the Supreme said in a low voice. "What's more, your devil core can't be taken away. It has long merged with your Qi Sea."
"You've been in Mount Xingyun for so many years. Has no one discovered your true colors?" Ye Zhen asked indifferently. "You took over the body of the true Supreme?"
The Supreme turned and continued walking forward slowly. "It can't be considered taking over. He was already killed at that time. It just so happened that I needed to reincarnate, and his body was suitable."
"You make it sound so open and aboveboard." Ye Zhen laughed lightly.
"He's already dead. That's why I was reborn in his body." The Supreme explained.
"Will the Great Sage Sect let you go?" Ye Zhen glanced at him. The High Priest of the Flame Region had actually become the Supreme of the Great Sage Sect. By now, the entire Xuantian Continent should know. The Great Sage Sect probably won't let the Great Sage Sect off.
"I hope that the Flame Region and the Xuantian Continent will not fight again." The Supreme said in a low voice.
Ye Zhen didn't reply. She just silently walked behind him.
The Supreme didn't speak again. He brought her all the way to the Priest Hall.
"Mingxi lived here for a year." The Supreme said.
Ye Zhen's eyes unconsciously looked towards the barren tree not far away.
"I don't know why all the devil fruits this year have disappeared." The Supreme's eyes held a faint smile.
