Chapter 276 Small Goal Achieved
Demon King's Palace, Dining Hall.
Yu Cheng, who was eating and drinking, paused for a moment but didn't pay attention.
What kind of gossip could he possibly have? Don't let his alluring appearance fool you; Yu Cheng can assure you that he has never cheated on any other female demons. Over the years, he has only had one demon wife, who passed away hundreds of years ago.
He doesn't even have a daughter or a son who might cheat on him, and he has never had a relationship with five people at the same time.
In Yu Cheng's view, he was completely at ease.
[Lan Yue: So, this Demon King Yu was also cheated on?]
system:"..."
Why is the host's immediate reaction to gossip so that the other person was cheated on? Can't you think about anything else?
Lan Yue's eyes were completely innocent. This wasn't her fault at all; it was just that the Demon King's Palace was too chaotic. If she were in the cultivation world right now, she definitely wouldn't think this way!
[System: This Demon King had a childhood sweetheart in his early years, a woman he considered his "white moonlight." This woman was in poor health and often coughed up blood. The Demon King cared deeply for her and frequently searched for magical medicines for her. Even after becoming the Demon King, he spent his days searching in the abyss.]
[To protect his childhood sweetheart, his "white moonlight" (ideal love), he entrusted her to his best friend's care. However, when the Demon King Yu returned, his "white moonlight" had already passed away.]
Dining hall.
Yu Cheng also sighed. It was indeed a regret. Without the other person, he even felt that living all these years had no meaning.
However, that mysterious artifact called the System seems to have collected other information?
[System: Actually, that "white moonlight" didn't die of illness. The Demon King's good brother was attracted to her beauty and tried to force himself on her. She resisted desperately, which is why she died so quickly. So, to be precise, this childhood sweetheart, the "white moonlight," committed suicide.]
Clang!
The sound of shattering glass echoed throughout the dining hall, and all the demons eating lunch nearby instinctively looked over.
When they realized that the Demon King himself was also there, they quickly fled from their seats and disappeared in less than a second.
Lan Yue, who was enjoying the melon over there, heard a loud noise. When she looked out the window, she saw thick black smoke billowing from the direction of the dining hall, with flames constantly shining through it.
For a moment, the two little black balls were dumbfounded, and the Sixth Prince was deep in thought, having already guessed what was going on.
"Are the Demon Kings fighting in the dining hall again? No way, I haven't had enough to eat there yet!" Lan Yue, the little black dumpling, exclaimed in panic.
Although she didn't think the food prepared by the demon chefs in the dining hall was that good, the spiritual fruit was delicious! She had never eaten it in the cultivation world before. If the dining hall was gone, would this spiritual fruit also disappear?
A moment later, the two little black balls saw two figures fighting outside the window, one of whom was Yu Cheng, the Demon King Yu, whom they had just been watching.
[System: It hasn't been mentioned yet. Two hundred years ago, Demon King Yu's good brother successfully seized the Demon King's throne and became a formal Demon King of the Demon King's Palace.]
[Lan Yue: I understand. So the ones who were fighting just now were Demon King Yu and his so-called brothers!]
Lan Yue, thinking about it, felt quite heartbroken. Although the incident happened hundreds of years ago, the disgusting hatred, like swallowing a fly, was something that could never be erased.
These two good brothers, the Demon King, will probably turn against each other in the future. Whenever the two of them meet, there will never be a peaceful day in the Demon King's Palace.
"Sixth Prince, I must praise you again. Your speed is truly astonishing. I had only just revealed it to you when they already knew."
Lan Yue had already revealed the information to the Sixth Prince while she was eating melons, but before she could finish speaking, the Demon King Yu already knew the secret. Otherwise, how could the fight have been so fierce?
The Sixth Prince remained silent, taking all the blame upon himself.
Of course, the Sixth Prince was also very happy. Since the two good brothers, the Demon Kings, had started fighting, there wouldn't be many Demon Kings left in the Demon King's Palace.
Most of them were fighting, and even the one or two who managed to escape had already left the area.
He couldn't help but smile, feeling that victory was in sight.
Luan Feng took out two dark blue jade stones and stared at them silently for a long time.
Lan Yue had already guessed what was going on, and remained silent for a long time, afraid of disturbing her partner's sad time.
At this moment, Yunxi suddenly blinked and bumped into Lanyue.
"What's wrong?" Lan Yue asked quietly.
Yunxi blinked again: "It seems my dad has arrived."
"What? Which father of yours?" Lan Yue was shocked. Didn't her friends standing in the Tower of Abyss say that the sect didn't know about this place yet? How did they find them so quickly?
Yunxi paused for a moment: "Both fathers are here."
Lan Yue almost jumped up after hearing this.
Doesn't this mean that both the Southern Spirit Sect and the Northern Ridge Holy Land know about their situation? What if a large group of people come and start a war between the two realms?
Lan Yue remembered that the war between the two worlds in the original work took place five years later, right after the next Four Domains Grand Competition ended. The Demon Clan launched a large-scale attack on the Peerless Continent, and then the protagonist group began their trial journey.
This is because they fought against the demons for so long, rapidly improving their strength and growing quickly, eventually becoming beings capable of protecting the entire Peerless Continent.
In the end, the main characters rebuilt the Central Holy Land, connecting the Ascension Path of the Peerless Continent and the Immortal Realm, and ascended together.
Lan Yue felt that if the war between the two worlds had started five years earlier, the main characters might not have been able to grow up, because they were still somewhat weak.
However, no matter how worried Lan Yue was, it was no use, because the Northern Ridge Holy Land had already led the others and rushed over via the teleportation array.
It's not that the cultivation world hasn't used the demon race's formations; it's just that they haven't tried them. This is because the spiritual energy fluctuations from such interdimensional formations are too obvious, and if they were activated in the demon realm, they would attract the attention of the demon kings of the Demon King's Palace.
However, this time it was too urgent. The group was afraid that if they flew slowly and found the two little ones, their bodies would already be cold. So they made an exception and activated the teleportation array, asking the Taishang Elder and the others to do their best to conceal the spiritual energy fluctuations of the array.
Fortunately, they had a lot of help this time, including two demon lords from the Eastern Region, which allowed them to pass through the teleportation array safely and reach the sky above the Demon King's Palace.
"A bunch of old bastards, hand over my daughter!" The Holy Son of Beiling couldn't wait any longer and slashed at the Demon King's Palace.
Yun Chong, who originally wanted to find someone secretly: "..."
This stubborn guy! What if those demon kings abuse the two little ones? I'm so angry!
Yun Chong, his eyes blazing with anger, was about to say something when he suddenly heard a cracking sound.
A palace that had been slashed by the Northern Ridge Holy Land suddenly collapsed, with countless cruel bricks and tiles falling to the ground and raising a thick cloud of dust.
The group of people who had just arrived from the cultivation world via the teleportation array were dumbfounded. Was the Holy Son of the Northern Ridge really this powerful? With just a wave of his hand, the Demon King's Palace collapsed?
Everyone looked at the shocked expressions on the faces of the Holy Son of Beiling, their faces filled with awe.
Even Yun Chong fell into thought, wondering if Baili Tusu's strength had greatly increased and he was very capable of taking his daughter back, which was why he acted so impulsively.
Only the Holy Son of Beiling himself was completely bewildered and couldn't believe what had just happened.
That's not right. When he was chopping down the Demon King's Palace with his axe before, he used all his strength and chopped several times before he could cut off a corner of the Demon King's Palace.
But this time he really only waved his hand lightly, after all, he still needed to conserve his strength, because there might be a group fight later, so he had to save his strength, so he didn't exert his full strength at all.
But how did the Demon King's Palace collapse? How did it collapse?
Baili Tusu couldn't understand it no matter how hard he tried, and he still couldn't believe that the Demon King's Palace's defenses had become so weak.
Only Lan Yue and Yun Xi knew the reason, because they had witnessed a lot of gossip and the demon kings fighting inside the demon king's shop.
Just three days ago, the Golden Demon King smashed the Demon King's Palace. Although several demon kings managed to repair it, the Demon King's Palace was not as sturdy as before. Not long ago, the Demon King's Palace was also attacked by fire.
Although the Holy Son of Beiling only waved his hand lightly, the Demon King's Palace was already very vulnerable!
Lan Yue was both amused and exasperated, watching helplessly as a large, familiar group from the cultivation world shouted above the Demon King's Palace, demanding that the Demon Kings return the two of them.
"Forget it, let's leave. Anyway, by now, most of the demon kings have scattered. They're either fighting or fighting. The Demon King's Palace has even collapsed. We've already achieved our initial goal."
Lan Yue had originally planned to stay for another month or so, but now that so many familiar people had come looking for her, she couldn't stay any longer. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that her master would chase her down with his long sword and beat her up.
