Chapter 59.2: The Demon of Demons (2/2)
“Parlor Lord, are you exaggerating?” A demon doubted Zhu Hongyi’s words.
“Release your demonic Qi and unleash your ferociousness!” Zhu Hongyi requested.
“Roar! Roar!”
………………
Billowing black Qi enveloped the demons in an instant; their eyes turned red, and fangs protruded from their mouths. The demons unveiled their hideous demonic look and roared ferociously.
The Golden Crow Sect disciples shivered in fear upon witnessing such a sight.
The demons rampaged with such a horrifying aura that they ended up overwhelming the righteous disciples.
Zhu Hongyi tapped between Princess Youyue’s eyebrows right then. A black beam entered her head; she trembled as though a hidden, inner ferocity was awakened. A silver radiance covered her body; veins popped up on her face, and her eyes turned silver as well. Two crimson fangs grew out from her upper jaw.
“Roar~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!”
Princess Youyue let out a deafening roar into the sky.
The roar was so imposing that it overrode all the demons’ roars. It was as though she had the domineering aura of a high-ranking demon within her, striking fear in the weaker demons.
It was more than just her overpowering aura; they feared her from deep within their souls. They feared the demonized princess, especially the demonized roar from a demon among demons.
“How…!” the demons cried out, aghast.
Zhang Shenxu and his juniors were also dumbfounded. How did the princess they had set a bounty for become that terrifying? She… she… she turned into a mega demon in a second!
The one most afraid was She Tianba. He was covered in cold sweat at the moment. How did I even capture her previously?She would have struck me dead with one slap had she transformed into this.
“Booom!”
Indeed, the demonized Princess Youyue instantly broke free from the chain restraining her; she seemed to be in a frenzied and restless state. With a roar, she leapt away in an attempt to escape from the scene.
“Don’t you run!” Zhu Hongyi leaped up into the air.
“Booom~~~~~~~”
The demonized princess and Zhu Hongyi clashed with palm strikes; the impact stirred up a huge blast of wind sweeping in all directions.
The demons had difficulty withstanding the violent gust. The righteous disciples were also bewildered. Wasn’t the princess only at the Golden Core stage? How did she become so powerful?Can the demonization really push her to exceed her limit?
“Our Parlor Lord is at the Astral Infant stage! Even someone of his caliber is having some trouble suppressing the Netherborn!” the demons cried out in shock.
“Boooom!”
Zhu Hongyi and Princess Youyue exchanged blows high up in the air; only after a while did the former manage to suppress the demonized princess. Of course, it could also be that the princess was regaining her consciousness, and thus her demonized power was waning.
Even so, Zhu Hongyi had to use his enchanted metal chain artifact to restrain her again.
“Roar… roar… roar….!”
Princess Youyue bellowed as she fell back to the ground. The roar struck fear deep into the souls of the demons; some of the weaker ones felt weak in the knees.
Humph. She’s finally under control. A demonized Netherborn will become a peerless demon. It is not a mere rumor. I only stimulated her with demonic Qi, and still she has this much power! What if she’s completely turned into a demon? It would spell a great disaster if it ever came to pass. Zhu Hongyi was also surprised by the princess’ power.
“Lock her up first; these demonic disciples are paralyzed by fear!” She Miejue said disdainfully.
The demons felt embarrassed, faces flushed followed by anger; however, the aura of the demonized princess had really struck fear in them.
“Lock her up? Sure!” Zhu Hongyi nodded.
“Ancestral uncle, you can lock her up in the Empress’ Residence. It’s right over there; I’ll reserve it for your convenience!” Zhu Yan shouted to relay his suggestion.
Zhu Hongyi looked at him and nodded.
“Bump!”
Zhu Hongyi swung his chain, flinging the princess into the nearby Empress’ Residence, and then he tied her up against a pillar.
“Bang!”
The gates of the Empress’ Residence were shut, leaving a segment of the chain outside through a gap in the gate. It was like a proclamation to everyone present that the princess was still tied up and that she would be unable to escape!
The princess’ bellowing could still be heard beyond the building, but it became softer as time went by.
The demons gradually recovered their usual demeanor once Princess Youyue’s imposing aura was gone. At the same time, they looked toward the main hall in the Empress’ Residence; their eyes were burning with passion.
We can have a share of Princess Youyue?Drink her blood and suck her essence energy to empower ourselves?Is this what the Nether Demon Assembly is all about?
“Now, as to matters related to the demonic sect, I, Zhu Hongyi, always keep my word. To those who disrespect the Fifth Parlor Lord and are unwilling to take part in the Nether Demon Assembly, you may leave right now. I won’t hold it against you, nor will I pursue you due to any responsibility!” Zhu Hongyi said.
Leave?Only fools would leave!
“We are willing to participate in the Nether Demon Assembly!” the demons cried out in exhilaration.
Zhu Hongyi ordered a few of his subordinates, “Guard the Empress’ Residence; kill anyone who gets close to the residence. No mercy!”
“Yes, Parlor Lord!” they responded.
Now, Princess Youyue is the key to us advancing to the Astral Infant stage; whoever dares to sabotage the event is seeking death!
All the other demons would have kept an eye on the princess even without the watchmen set in place by Zhu Hongyi.
“The Nether Demon Assembly will start at dusk! We will not wait for latecomers!” She Miejue flung her sleeves and walked away.
“Qing’er, wait for me. I brought back the She Clan Lord, She Tianba. Take a look!” Zhu Hongyi chased after her.

The Qing Capital—The Great General’s Residence.
Once a brief meeting ended, Wang Ke looked toward his clan members again.
“I’ve gathered you here not only to inform you about the future direction of our clan. There’s another thing I need you to do with your best effort!” said Wang as he addressed them.
“Please, let us know our tasks!” The group was a little puzzled.
“I will infiltrate the royal palace in a moment to rescue Princess Youyue!” said Wang Ke with a solemn expression.
“Clan Lord, what do we need to do?” They asked out of curiosity.
The royal palace had recently turned into a gathering place for demons. How should we go about rescuing the princess from all those demons guarding her?Wouldn’t we be digging our own graves? But of course, none of them tried to excuse themselves because they trusted their clan lord.
“I can locate the place where she’s being detained. I’ll need all of you to dig a tunnel as quickly as possible to the place where she is; we will leave immediately after we snatch the princess!” said Wang Ke solemnly.
“Dig tunnels? Hahaha! We are the best there is!”
“Yeah! We used to live by raiding tombs. We were insulted like dirt rats! Still, we’re proud of our capability as dirt rats!”
“Clan Lord, rest assured. This is a walk in the park! I’m leading a group of my men to have a try alone!”
All the Wang Clan members responded with laughter.
“No, it would be too slow for one group to do it; I need all of you to do it together. You are the most professional help I have. I need it fast! In the shortest time possible. I don’t have much time; the tunnel must be finished before nightfall! Wang Ke said.
The clan members turned serious and said, “Yes, Clan Lord!”
