The powerhouses that were able to stand tall in the sealed Demon Realm for countless years without falling were all renowned powerhouses throughout the ages. There were even some terrifying existences that had followed the Demon God to conquer the Three Realms since the Demon Realm was established.
Even though this place followed the law of the jungle, where the weak were prey to the strong and the strong were respected. But in this world, no matter how strong you were, whether you were an infamous giant or not, whether you were a terrifying existence left behind from a distant era, there was only one true master here. Everyone had to submit to him, or else they would die ten thousand times instead of being able to live.
The first master of the Demon Realm was the Demon God Night who created the Demon Realm. This was an ancient legend. The second was the Demon God's son, Demon Lord Yi Ye. The third was Yi Ye's son, Demon Lord Er Ye. The fourth was Demon Lord Er Ye's son, Demon Lord San Ye. Other than the first one who was addressed as the Demon God, his descendants were all addressed as Demon Lord to show their respect to the Demon God. There were three generations of Demon Lords in the Demon World, and the current one was the Demon God's great-grandson, Demon Lord Three Nights.
The reason why the Demon God's lineage was able to rule the Demon Realm until now, aside from the treasured techniques left behind by the Demon God, it was also thanks to the Demon God that the seventy-two Great Demon Kings under him had their primordial spirits forcibly removed. Although the seventy-two Great Demon Kings under the Demon God had lost nearly half, the primordial spirits of the remaining thirty-six Great Demon Kings were still in the hands of the Demon God's descendant, Demon Lord Three Nights.
Although these thirty-six Great Demon Kings had powerful magic power and profound cultivation, Demon Lord Three Nights had their primordial spirits in his hands. If he wanted to kill them, it would be as easy as raising his hand. With these thirty-six Great Demon Kings guarding the Demon Realm, they were the cornerstone of Demon Lord Three Nights' ruling over the Demon Realm.
But to most of the heroes of the Demon Realm, the thirty-six Great Demon Kings were unreachable figures. They rarely showed themselves unless something big happened, not to mention the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm — Demon Lord Three Nights!
Everyone in the Demon World knew that ever since the Demon Lord fell for the trap and was sealed away by the Immortal and Netherworld Emperors, the Three Nights Demon Lord had lived in the Demon Palace and rarely came out. It was said that the Three Nights Demon Lord blamed himself for this. In reality, when the Demon World was sealed, many people blamed Demon Lord Three Night for his incompetence, which led to the Demon World falling into such a state.
This kind of discussion became more and more intense. Not long after, an expert followed the will of the people and strongly demanded that the Demon Lord Three Nights hand over the primordial spirits of the thirty-six Great Demon Kings and hand over the throne of the Demon Lord. In the end, this completely angered the Demon King of Three Nights. With a single order, he carried out a bloodbath. He would rather kill the wrong person than let the wrong person go. Anyone who was even a little bit related to this matter, or anyone who was even a little bit related to this matter, was all killed, completely uprooted.
After the bloodbath, it was unknown how many people died. Everyone kept quiet out of fear. After all, their lives were more important. No one dared to mention this matter again, at least not openly. After this matter, the Demon Lord Three Nights once again lived in the Demon Palace. For many years, outsiders rarely saw him again. He had almost become a legend.
However, just a few years ago, the Demon Palace that was shrouded in blood clouds suddenly moved again. One day, all thirty-six Great Demon Kings guarding the Demon World were summoned to the Demon Palace, causing the heroes of the Demon World to try to figure out what was going on.
Later, the news spread. The Demon Palace had received news that someone had seen the Demon Blade that the Demon Lord had used in the past and that the Divine Blade had recognized a new master. Demon Lord Three Nights was greatly shocked. He immediately used all his power to search and finally found that person. He brought him back to the Demon Palace. It was said that he had been appointed as the next Demon Lord's successor, but no one knew if this was true or not.
Following that, the Demon Palace moved frequently. All the powers under its control continuously gathered all kinds of things and sent them to the Demon Palace. It was said that Demon Lord Three Nights had taken a liking to that successor, and all the things he gathered were for that successor's cultivation.
On this day, under a continuous mountain range shrouded in red blood clouds, a group of men and women who had come from afar were being escorted to the mountain pass. Dozens of people flew out from the mountain pass to block them. The person in the lead stepped out and stared at the leader of the escort team. The latter quickly tossed a token to him and cupped his fists, saying, "By the decree of the Clear Sky Demon King, we offer three thousand chaste men and three thousand chaste women to the Demon Palace."
The leader of the guards at the mountain pass checked the token and tossed it back to the other party. With a light wave of his hand, the row of people in front of the mountain pass immediately split into two sides. The three thousand men and women who had their hands bound together by the tree vines were immediately ordered to slowly walk into the mountain pass. Occasionally, they would raise their heads to look into the depths of the blood clouds, their faces filled with unconcealable fear. Meanwhile, the guards at the two sides of the mountain pass inspected them one by one. Only those whose cultivation had been sealed could be allowed to enter.
The wind in the mountains was cold and desolate, and the mountain path was rugged. Everywhere, there were new or weathered white bones. Occasionally, there would be a clear "kacha" sound when someone stepped on these white bones. Everyone looked at these escorted men and women as if they were looking at dead people, as if they would soon become the white bones they were currently stepping on. Meanwhile, the people who had been escorted here had ashen faces as soon as they stepped into the mountain pass, as if they knew that their deaths were not far away.
At this moment, the three streaks of light that were streaking across the sky suddenly stopped, turned around, and landed on the hillside of the mountain pass. The three young men with extraordinary auras swept their cold eyes over the crowd below.
Everyone looked up. When the guards at the mountain pass saw these three people, they were immediately shocked. Putting down what they were doing, they knelt down on one knee and said, "Greetings to the three young masters!" Another quick-witted person shouted at the people who had been bound together, "Hurry up and kneel down to greet the three young masters!"
The guards who had escorted the people here immediately pointed at the prisoners and said sternly, "Hurry up and kneel down to greet the three young masters!"
"Greetings, Young Master …" The disorderly crowd knelt down and shouted in a disorderly manner.
The three people who had arrived were the three sons of the Demon Lord of Three Nights. The eldest was Ye Wanzong, the second was Ye Youyuan, and the third was Ye Tuobian. The Demon Lord of Three Nights originally had four sons, and the youngest was called Ye Tiankong. Ever since he was young, he was quick-witted and studious, and the Demon Lord of Three Nights deeply doted on him. However, what made the Demon Lord of Three Nights sigh was that such a good seedling did not have the aptitude to cultivate. Later on, after Ye Tiankong grew up, he ran away from home alone. Until now, there had been no news of him, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
At this moment, the person standing on the mountain pass was the eldest son of the Demon Lord of Three Nights, Ye Wanzong. Looking at the crowd kneeling down below, Ye Wanzong frowned and said, "Go back to your work." Instantly, shouts rang out from below, and the three thousand men and women immediately walked in one after another as they went through the inspection.
On the mountain pass, Ye Youyuan looked down at the crowd and suddenly snorted coldly, "These people must have been recruited by father for that new brat."
"Father is too biased. We, his own children, can't even compare to an outsider." Ye Tuobian looked at his big brother, Ye Wanzong, and said, "The successor of the Demon Lord should have been big brother, but father actually stripped big brother of his right of inheritance and gave it to an outsider. What kind of logic is this?"
The two brothers spoke one after another, and Ye Wanzong's expression also became increasingly gloomy …
In the crowd, a woman with disheveled hair suddenly thought of something when she heard that the three people who had arrived were actually the three young masters of the Demon Palace. She quickly combed her disheveled hair, revealing a charming and moving face as she raised her head to welcome the three people on the mountain pass.
However, the three young masters did not see her at all, and there were even signs of them leaving. Instantly, the woman became anxious. Suddenly, the sound of bones being stepped on caused her eyes to light up. Lowering her head, she saw a skull that had been kicked around. She hurriedly stepped on it, and her body immediately fell to the side …
"Aiyo!" A voice that sounded like a nightingale's cry rang out. It wasn't loud, but it was clear and moving.
Instantly, someone in the crowd lost his footing and fell to the ground. However, because there were ropes made of tree vines between them, they did not completely fall to the ground. However, this caused the procession to pause for a moment. The person who was escorting them immediately lashed out with a whip, and angrily shouted, "Get up!"
After the sound of the whip, there was another cry of pain. It was obviously a cry of pain, but it was sharp and melodious like the chirping of an oriole, causing one's heartstrings to involuntarily tremble. On the mountain pass, the three young masters who were about to leave all turned around to look at the same time. They saw a woman holding the wound on her arm as she staggered to her feet. Inadvertently, she raised her head, revealing an enchanting face that could topple cities. There was a trace of pain on her jade-like face as she bit her red lips and continued to move forward.
At this moment, the expressions of the three brothers immediately stiffened, and their hearts all palpitated. They did not expect that such a stunning beauty would be hidden among these people.
"Such a stunning beauty is actually a virgin. It's really rare. However, it's a pity that she will only become nourishment for his demonic arts if she falls into the hands of that brat. What a waste!" The third brother Ye Tuobian could not help but let out a long sigh. The second brother also sighed and shook his head, feeling that it was a great pity.
The eldest brother Ye Wanzong's face turned gloomy. Suddenly, he shouted to the people below, "Wait!" The people below paused, and everyone looked over. They saw Ye Wanzong waving his hand and pointing at the beautiful woman who was being whipped. He said indifferently, "The others can go, but I want her to stay!"
"This …" The leader of the escort team looked towards the mountain pass with some difficulty, and said, "Young master, please forgive me! It's hard to find virgins in the Devil Realm. The Great Devil King spent a lot of effort to find them. Before I came here, I received a decree that all three thousand men and women must be sent here. If even one of them is missing, I will be punished … "
"Huh?" Ye Wanzong's expression changed, and he snorted coldly, "Aren't you afraid that I will punish you now?" Seeing that the other party was at a loss and in fear, Ye Wanzong's tone changed, and he said, "I will explain to the Great Devil King. You can push the blame to me, and it will not involve you. Leave this person for me."
Then again, if this little pawn insisted on not giving him the woman, even though he was the dignified young master of the Devil Palace, there was nothing he could do. He did not dare to rob the Great Devil King of the Azure Sky's belongings. If he did, the nature of the act would change. It should be known that the Great Devil King of the Azure Sky was a character who followed his ancestor, the Devil God. He was one of the most senior figures in the entire Devil Realm. Even his father, the Devil King Three Nights, would not treat him lightly, let alone him. Naturally, he had to be tactful and ask for the woman.
