Chapter 59.1 The Demon of Demons (1/2)
She Tianba and Zhu Yan woke up after leaving Zhu Hongyi’s army.
“I… I’m still alive?” Zhu Yan looked around, feeling puzzled.
The billowing demonic Qi covered the sky. Zhu Yan was at a loss. What happened?What is this place?
“Humph!” Zhu Hongyi harrumphed indignantly.
“Ancestral uncle!” Zhu Yan no longer dared to speak further.
However, he saw Princess Youyue and the string of beads on her wrist.
“The beads?” Zhu Yan’s eyes glistened.
She Tianba was beside him; he woke up and looked at everyone in a daze. I’m not dead?I’m still alive?Awesome!But… What is happening now?
“Whooosh!”
The massive army of demons arrived at the Qing Capital’s royal palace. She Miejue, who was dressed in green, seemed to be waiting for them inside the palace.
“What? The lunatic from the Heavenly Wolf Sect?”
“Parlor Lord, it’s She Miejue. This is an ambush!”
……………………

……
Some of the demonic disciples had yet to know of She Miejue’s new identity; many of them were immediately on guard. Of course, those who knew were not surprised.
“Stop it!” Zhu Hongyi berated his subordinates.
The ones who were getting ready to fight were confused.
“The Demon Sovereign has just appointed her as the Fifth Parlor Lord! She is also the one who will be hosting tonight’s Nether Demon Assembly! The Fifth Parlor Lord caught the Netherborn for all of you! She wants to clear the misunderstanding between you and her!” Zhu Hongyi chided his men.
“What? The Fifth Parlor Lord?”
“That lunatic responsible for the majority of deaths of our fellow disciples is the Fifth Parlor Lord?”
“I didn’t expect her to end up like this. Hahaha! Serves her right!”
……………………
………………
……
The demons’ attitude toward She Miejue changed immediately; some mocked her while others still held an unrelenting grudge against her.
The demonic disciples only restrained themselves and avoided being overly harsh toward her because Zhu Hongyi was supporting her.
“Qing’er, I brought Princess Youyue back! Come and see if she’s the right person!” Zhu Hongyi said with a smile.
She Miejue nodded after recognizing the princess.
“Good to know she’s the right one!” Zhu Hongyi smiled.
“She Miejue? The senior from the Heavenly Wolf Sect? You were demonized? You’re a demon now!” The captives from the Golden Crow Sect pashed from shock to outrage.
“Why did this happen? Weren’t you going to destroy all the world’s demons?”
“Even someone like you was demonized? Is the Heavenly Wolf Sect only made by liars?”
………………
…………
……
The group of righteous disciples cursed at She Miejue.
“Shut them up!” Zhu Hongyi ordered while giving them a stare.
The captives from the righteous sects had their mouths stuffed; still, all of them were glaring at She Miejue.
“Humph. Bunch of cowards… How dare you mock Qing’er! You must be sick of living!” Zhu Hongyi threatened coldly.
The righteous disciples could only stare back in frustration. Cowards?Bullsh*t! We were simply fooled by Wang Ke.
“Parlor Lord, we cannot accept She Miejue as our Fifth Parlor Lord!”
“Yeah! How many of our brothers died in her hands! She doesn’t deserve that position!”
“It’s okay to join the demonic sect. But how can she sit in such a high position right after she joined? What contributions has she made to the demonic sect?”
………………
…………
……
All the demonic disciples showed reluctance when it came to accept She Miejie. Their grudge seemed to be overwhelming.
“What? What do you think you’re doing? Are you trying to stage a rebellion?” Zhu Hongyi shot them a stare.
All his men could only swallow back their anger.
“Humph. Her name is not She Miejue; her real name is She Qingqing! The Demon Sovereign personally made her the Fifth Parlor Lord. If you disagree, go and reason with the Demon Sovereign. Go ahead!” Zhu Hongyi chided his men.
Reasons for having the Demon Sovereign?Do you think we’re tired of living? Still, we really can’t swallow our hatred for her.
“The Fifth Parlor Lord knows that you harbor heavy grudges against her. That is why she found the Netherborn and was at the moment hosting the Nether Demon Assembly. It was a meet-and-greet assembly to unveil the Fifth Parlor Lord’s true identity. Also, what a great serendipitous moment for all of you! Instead of thanking the Fifth Parlor Lord, what are you bunch doing instead, making so much noise?” Zhu Hongyi berated.
“Thank her? Bullsh*t Nether Demon Assembly! Do you think we want it? How can we trust that Princess Youyue is a Netherborn?” One of the demons was still unwilling to accept it.
“Who said that? Come out!” Zhu Hongyi ordered the challenger to step out.
“Parlor Lord, just give us the order if you want us to accept the Fifth Parlor Lord and we’ll comply. It’s just that there’s no need to use the ‘Nether Demon Assembly’ as an excuse! I was on a mission, so I had to travel a long distance to participate in the Nether Demon Assembly. I…!” said a demon, somewhat displeased.
“Heh. You are still defiant, right? And you don’t want to be part of the Nether Demon Assembly, right? Ha! I will openly allow the ones who didn’t want to come here. It is all right. But before you leave, do you know what a Netherborn is?” Zhu Hongyi asked.
A demon spoke up, “We who were demonized are called demons! Demons and normal humans cannot normally reproduce. Demons can only conceive descendants with another demon. Offspring between a demon and a normal human are rare; they appear once in a hundred years. The offspring are called ‘Netherborn!’”
“Right. You are right. But do you know that a Netherborn is a demon among demons right from the moment of birth? A demon among demons! Did you know this?” Zhu Hongyi explained.
“What does that mean?” The demons were unable to make heads or tails about it.
“Did you know that a Netherborn only needs a minimal cultivation to reach the Astral Infant stage when entering adulthood?” Zhu Hongyi asked.
“What?” The demons were astonished.
“Demonic cultivators like us advance the quickest through siphoning blood, and essence energy of high-level cultivators, such that our essence energy evolves and our cultivation improves rapidly. All of you are willing to give up everything to take a bite out of a righteous cultivator, but have you ever thought about consuming the Netherborn, such an obvious choice which belongs to neither faction? Her blood was equal to that of an Astral Infant cultivator. Her essence energy is also on par with that of an Astral Infant cultivator. In fact, hers is even better, even more domineering. Imagine how much she will help with our cultivation! Don’t you want to have a share?” Zhu Hongyi asked.
“Astral Infant?” The eyes of many demons glowed.
Especially those highly advanced into the Golden Core stage, they would be close to breaking through to the Astral Infant stage if they could eat the body of an Astral Infant cultivator from the righteous sect. The Astral Infant stage cultivators were the most powerful people within the Ten-thousand Great Mountains!
