Chapter 522: Chapter 522 Xue An Gets Furious, The Slaughter Begins (5th Update)
By the time they arrived at the high platform, the vortex had already become incredibly vast and was slowly rotating.
At the center of the vortex appeared a black pillar of light.
The black light pillar gradually spread out, quickly becoming a column that reached straight into the sky.
Those with keen eyes cried out, “Quick, look!”
The demons looked up, only to see the black column slightly trembling.
And from the unreachable heights above, there seemed to be a procession of celestial carriages approaching.
The speed of the carriages was extremely fast, nearly blinking from the great heights to midair in an instant.
This was a highly luxurious cavalcade.
In front were cavalry riders on exotic beasts clearing the way, followed by demon soldiers with orderly steps and a formidable air.
At the center of the cavalcade was an enormous war carriage several miles in size.
The carriage was golden all over, exuding nobility, and it was being pulled by four black demon dragons.
Sitting upon this war carriage was a young lord with a face as if chiseled by knife and ax.
The youth’s face was stern, yet his eyes were filled with supreme dignity.
Many demons merely cast one glance before uncontrollably falling prostrate to the ground.
The Commander-in-Chief Ye Yufeng quickly walked a few steps and kneeled on one knee.
As he kneeled, all the Demon Dragon Legion Masters behind him, as well as all the demons, likewise knelt in unison.
Xue An and Xiao Sha, along with others, crouched on the ground watching.
“Big brother, do we make our move now?” Xiao Sha asked excitedly.
Xue An shook his head, “No rush, let’s wait until these demons present Jiang Mei’er and the others!”
Xue An was clear about one thing.
That was the demons must have captured Jiang Mei’er and Wei Ruyan for the purpose of presenting them to this young lord.
In that case, at least they were safe for the moment.
That’s why he wasn’t in a hurry.
Now, having seen the young lord, there was even less need for haste.
They would just wait for the demons to present the captives.
At this time, the carriages landed.
Ye Yufeng bowed his head and respectfully said, “The Demon Dragon Commander-in-Chief Ye Yufeng greets the young lord!”
This young lord was none other than Yu Haoyan’s legitimate son, Yu Qianlong, one of the thirteen holy masters of the Demon Dragon!
Yu Qianlong sat expressionless on the grand carriage, looking down at the prostrate demons from on high.
After a good while, he finally said indifferently, “Rise.”
Only then did Ye Yufeng stand up.
“The young lord has graced us with his presence; it must have been a tiring journey. I have prepared a banquet to welcome and refresh you!”
Yu Qianlong nodded slightly, “This time, Commander Ye’s discovery of this secret realm suitable for the Demon Race to thrive in is a great achievement! My father is very pleased!”
“Thank you, young lord!” Ye Yufeng was overjoyed.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Yu Qianlong’s mouth.
In fact, he was also very satisfied with this secret realm.
Especially since, just before his arrival, his father told him this secret realm was exactly situated in the mundane world and was of great importance to the Demon Dragon race; it must be firmly grasped within their hands.
“Lead the way ahead!” said Yu Qianlong.
“Yes!” Ye Yufeng personally stepped forward to lead the way.
And the Commanders all followed behind the carriage.
This manner of procession made their momentum seem extremely grand.
Xiao Sha disdainfully curled his lips, “What’s with the grand act, trying to be a big shot!”
Xue An smiled faintly but remained silent.
From his perspective, all the so-called grand momentum Yu Qianlong was putting on was just like a mouse’s wedding, purely comical.
Let alone an Immortal Venerable, even a random Immortal King or Great Luo traveling would have a grandeur tens of thousands of times stronger.
Have you seen anyone pulled by a Golden Crow as large as the sun?
Or someone herding stars like sheep?
So, watching this scene, all he wanted to do was laugh.
When they arrived, Yu Qianlong, supported by several guards, stepped down from the carriage.
He then entered the banquet hall.
Dinner was already prepared.
Yu Qianlong sat in the main seat.
Ye Yufeng kept him company by the side.
Xue An and Xiao Sha were seated in a remote corner away from the main event.
As it happened, that Yang Qingcang was sitting at the next table over.
When he saw Xiao Sha’s arrival, his entire body stiffened.
Xiao Sha, however, didn’t acknowledge him at all but sat down on a chair and observed everything in the distance.
After the third round of drinks.
Ye Yufeng gave Yu Qianlong a sly grin.
“Young Master Yu, I know your journey here was extremely taxing, so I have a modest gift for you!”
Yu Qianlong didn’t speak, merely nodding his head.
Ye Yufeng then made a subtle gesture towards Izumi Noriko in the distance.
Izumi Noriko hurriedly lifted the curtain.
Then, Jiang Mei’er and Wei Ruyan, among others, slowly walked in.
They were all dressed in exquisite clothes, which made them appear all the more beautiful.
Yu Qianlong initially seemed indifferent.
Beautiful women?
He had seen too many of them.
But upon a closer look, he couldn’t help but be taken aback.
That’s when Ye Yufeng quickly laughed and said, “Young Master Yu, these women all possess Ling Yun, they are extremely rare! Especially that Sea Demoness, with her Ancient Bloodline, she could greatly benefit your Cultivation Level!”
Yu Qianlong’s lips curled into a satisfied smile.
“Very nice!”
Hearing the praise, Ye Yufeng’s smile grew even brighter.
Yu Qianlong gestured with his hand and said indifferently, “Come over!”
Jiang Mei’er and Wei Ruyan exchanged glances with one another, seeing a determined resolve to die in each other’s eyes.
Just as Jiang Mei’er had said, even if they were to die, they would take a few with them.
And judging by his appearance, this youth seemed to be the overlord that these demons had referred to.
If they could kill him, wouldn’t that be even better?
With this thought in mind, Jiang Mei’er, sweating profusely from her nervousness, walked in the front with her hands hidden in her sleeves.
However, Yu Qianlong seemed uninterested in her, his gaze drifting to the end of the line.
“You… come here!”
Xie Jingjing, who had been keeping her head down at the back of the line, was startled by the words and slowly lifted her head, her face full of confusion.
“Me?”
Yu Qianlong nodded.
He had taken an immediate interest in the pure Yin* physique of Xie Jingjing.
Such a pure Yin* body was extremely rare.
It was also very helpful for his Cultivation Level.
More importantly, the hint of innocence on Xie Jingjing’s face tugged at Yu Qianlong’s heartstrings.
Xie Jingjing began trembling uncontrollably, “No, I won’t go!”
Yu Qianlong’s smile turned cold.
Seeing this, Wei Ruyan quickly spoke up, “My Lord, she’s just a child, let me serve you instead!”
“You want to serve me? With the broken blade hidden in your sleeve?” Yu Qianlong said with coldness in his voice.
Wei Ruyan’s face turned deathly pale.
“Drag this woman away and she’s yours!” Yu Qianlong declared.
The Demon Soldiers guarding behind him rejoiced at his words, walking forward with sinister smiles.
Xie Jingjing clung desperately to Wei Ruyan’s hand, crying out in despair, “No… don’t touch my sister Ruyan!”
All the demons present started laughing heartily at this scene.
To them, seeing others in pain and despair was a delightful sight.
But just at that moment, the heads of the Demon Soldiers who had nearly reached them all flew up simultaneously.
Demon blood splattered everywhere.
Severed heads rolled!
Headless demon bodies struggled for a few seconds before collapsing to the ground, dead.
This spectacle stunned all the demons present.
Then, a voice filled with rage and murderous intent rang out.
“Good, today… all of you are going to die!”
Hearing this voice, Xie Jingjing, on the verge of collapsing, shuddered incredulously and looked back.
She saw a man with a cold expression and seemingly flames burning in his eyes, slowly approaching.
Seeing this figure that haunted her dreams, Xie Jingjing moaned almost in a whisper.
“Brother Xue An!”
