Chapter 1323: The Three Emperors Gather
The azure wooden token was about the size of a palm, and the word "envoy" was written on it in flamboyant calligraphy.
One could faintly sense the aura of a dragon and a tiger from the words, and they exuded a dignified aura.
When Yang Jian took out the envoy's token, Sha Ke's heart sank.
This special envoy's hand token was definitely not fake. The entire hand token was a cyan blue color, which was the unique color of the Green Willow Wood in the outer realm. It was impossible to grow Azure Willow Trees in the territories of the other God Races, Yao Races, and Demon Races.
The hand slapped Sha Ke's face loudly, but he stood there like a block of wood.
He didn't dare dodge or resist.
"Now you're well-behaved. Where's the arrogance you used to yell at me?"
He kicked Sha Ke. He staggered a few steps before stabilizing himself.
"Lord Demon God!"
Some of the demon elites ran out. A few youths even raised their weapons and charged at Yang Jian, as if they wanted to show off in front of the Demon God.
However, they didn't even manage to touch the hem of Yang Jian's clothes. A few afterimages flashed past them.
These demon elites turned into ice-cold corpses and fell to the ground.
After biting them to death, the Howling Celestial Dog glared threateningly at the other demons, its fur standing on end.
"Vile creature, you dare kill my demon compatriots …"
"Shut up!"
Sha Ke's shout was like a clap of thunder, suppressing the indignant demons.
After that, he pushed aside the demon elites around him. Sha Ke glanced at the demon elites lying on the ground, still bleeding profusely. He turned his head away, gritted his teeth, and braced himself as he walked up to Yang Jian.
"Please calm your anger, Lord Envoy. This lowly one had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. Please don't take out your anger on us demons because of those people."
The mighty Demon God was now as lowly as an ant. He lowered his head and apologized.
Yang Jian smiled indifferently. He grabbed Sha Ke's chin and made him look at him.
"You don't accept it, do you?"
Of course Sha Ke wouldn't accept it.
He had overcome many obstacles to become a Demon God. He wasn't some weakling. If it wasn't for the fact that Yang Jian had the support of the Outer Realm and that he had the special envoy's token in his hand, how could he have been convinced?
He quickly hid the unwillingness in his eyes and shook his head.
"I wouldn't dare!"
"Don't dare means yes!"
A smile appeared on Yang Jian's sullen face. He released his hand formed from divine power and lifted Sha Ke's chin. He looked at the entire Demon Race.
"Are you guys also unconvinced?"
Everyone kept quiet out of fear.
In front of Yang Jian, even the devil gods were as weak as ants. How could mere empyreans, devas, and sovereigns compare to him?
However, their fear did not mean that the entire demon race was a coward.
"Saintess, please …"
Before he could say anything, the Holy Maiden slapped him across the face.
The force of the slap was so great that a few of the hero's teeth flew out. His face instantly swelled up like a steamed bun.
The Holy Maiden bowed deeply once more.
"Esteemed Envoy, please forgive us. There's not a single demon who refuses to submit to the Outside's jurisdiction. Those who died can only blame themselves for not knowing how to appreciate kindness. Also, I'll deal with the demon who spoke just now. As for Sha Ke, you can do whatever you want with him. "
"You …."
"Your Excellency, what are your orders?" asked the Holy Maiden.
When he saw her face, Yang Jian froze. If he remembered correctly, she seemed to have a close relationship with Ye Zichen.
He glanced at Ye Zichen, only to see him shake his head.
In truth, Yang Jian didn't quite understand what that shake meant. However, he was sure he'd remembered correctly. Although he didn't know how she'd become a demon, and her cultivation wasn't low at all, he still had to give her some face.
"It's fine. Go back and stay put."
Yang Jian ignored the Holy Maiden and narrowed his eyes at Sha Ke.
"Look at the demons you serve. Did you hear that? They've already given up on you. They're afraid you'll provoke me, so they completely ignore you. They don't even dare plead for you. Don't you feel sorry for yourself? "
Sha Ke said nothing.
"How about this?" Yang Jian laughed calmly. "You must be thinking that if your Demon Emperor were here, he'd definitely plead for you. Why don't I let your Devil Emperor come out and see what he thinks? "
The Demon Emperor?
The crowd grew restless.
At the same time, Yang Jian patted Sha Ke on the head and shouted into the sky.
"All of you, come on out. What are you still hiding for?"
The sky was suddenly filled with three colors: azure, gold, and violet.
At the center of each color stood a single person. Most likely, the light was coming from each of them. Each of them stood in a different direction, dividing the sky into three. None of them gave way to the other.
"This …."
The onlookers were dumbfounded. Standing in the center of the golden light was God Emperor Zhou Wu, the azure light was Yao Emperor Taiyi, and the violet light was Demon Emperor Kui Lin.
Normally, none of the three great emperors showed their faces. Who would've thought they'd all show up at the same time?
Before long, the light faded, and the three of them landed on the ground.
"Brother Yang!"
The three of them cupped their hands in greeting. The emissary from the Outside was worthy of their respect.
Yang Jian also nodded to them as a way of returning the courtesy. They were the emperors of the Three Realms, after all. Even if Yang Jian was the emissary, they still had to give him some face.
After the greetings, the three emperors fell silent. Yang Jian didn't speak, and they simply stood to the side.
"Just what is the Outside doing? Why did the God, Yao, and Demon Emperors give them the cold shoulder just because they said so?" Quite a few people wondered.
They didn't know what the Outside represented, but the rulers present did.
Even if he was a small fry from the Outside, they had to treat him with caution. Besides, this was the emissary from the Outside. Giving the three emperors the cold shoulder wasn't surprising at all.
"Your Demon Emperor is here."
Yang Jian patted Sha Ke's face, then turned to the Demon Emperor.
"I'm sure you know what's going on, so I won't repeat myself. This kid is one of your people, and a Demon God at that. He must have quite a high status among the demons. Tell me what you want to do with him! "
As he spoke, Sha Ke looked at the Demon Emperor with a desperate desire to live.
He didn't want to die, and the Demon Emperor was his last hope.
To his disappointment, however, the Demon Emperor didn't so much as look him in the eye. When he heard Yang Jian's question, the Demon Emperor's face rippled with a hearty smile.
"This blind fool has angered you, Brother Yang. I'll leave it to you to decide how to deal with him."
Instantly, Sha Ke's heart froze.
He'd fought for the demons his entire life, helping them expand their territory. He'd played no small part in helping Kui Lin ascend to the Demon Emperor's position.
But ….
His heart truly froze.
After Kui Lin's explanation, Sha Ke ….
