Chapter 921: Attacking Blood Shadow City and Taking the Emperor.

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

...

This was a night with howling wind and a lack of moonlight. Blood was bound to be spilled.

Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t unfamiliar with Demon Race’s capital, Blood Shadow City. That was because he actually came here once before and kidnapped a Demon general without anyone realizing it.

However, as the capital, Blood Shadow City was extremely well-guarded. The strongest experts of the Demon Race were all gathered here.

Facing the well-guarded Demon Race’s capital that had countless experts...

Fang Zhengzhi decided to go through the front door!

The sound of a flying arrow broke the silence of the night. It was an arrow used to deliver a letter. It drew a beautiful curve in the air from outside of Blood Shadow City and ultimately landed on the flag hanging at the top of the city wall.

“It’s an enemy’s attack!”

“Enemy’s attack!”

“...”

The guards atop the city wall started shouting soon enough. Countless torches lit up the city and many of the guards drew their bows.

However, there was no one in front of Blood Shadow City.

“General, there’s a letter on the arrow!”

“Letter? Bring it to me!” The general stationed at the city wall didn’t waste any time before he took the letter that the soldiers passed to him.

It was a dirt-brown envelope which wasn’t too big. However, ‘To Yun Qingwu’, was written clearly and powerfully on the envelope.

“It’s for the Young Lord? I’ll report this right now, you guys will keep guarding the city’s gates!” The Demon general gave his order fairly quickly after he read the words on the envelope.

“Yes!” The Demon soldiers obeyed his orders.

...

There were nine walls in Blood Shadow City, and each of them was heavily guarded. The entire city was a massive circular fortress.

The Demon general walked fast, but he was stopped by four soldiers guarding the second wall. Each of them was holding a sharp spear.

“Hold your step, why are you entering the city?”

“I’m Min Yu, the head of the guards of the city’s gate. We received a letter from the enemy that is specifically addressed to the Young Lord. I feel that this is an urgent matter so I should deliver the letter to the Demonic Hall personally!” The Demon general replied hastily.

“Where are your token and the letter?”

“Here’s my token and the letter, please take a look.”

“Ok, you may enter.”

“Yes!” The Demon general nodded and passed through the second wall and rushed towards the third wall while holding the dirt-brown envelope high in the air.

“Hold your step!” The guards at the third wall soon stopped the general. There were four soldiers again.

“I’m Min Yu, the head of the guards of the city’s gate. We received a letter from the enemy that is specifically addressed to the Young Lord. I feel that this is an urgent matter so I should deliver the letter to the Demonic Hall personally!” The Demon general replied hastily.

“Where are your token and the letter?”

“Here’s my token and the letter, please take a look.”

“Ok, you may enter.”

“...”

After going through numerous city walls, the general finally arrived outside of the Demonic Hall, which was located at the center of Blood Shadow City.

“Hold your step. Why are you rushing towards the Demonic Hall in the middle of the night!” Eight soldiers wearing black armors standing outside the door stopped the general once again.

“I’m Min Yu, the head of the guards of the city’s gate. We received a letter from the enemy that is specifically addressed to the Young Lord. I feel that this is an urgent matter so I should deliver the letter to the Demonic Hall personally!” The Demon general replied hastily.

“Addressed to the Young Lord? What the hell, don’t you know that the Young Lord has gone to the Holy Region together with the Demon Deity two days ago?” The soldiers glanced at the envelope in his hands. An unnoticeable flash of light appeared in their eyes and they looked a little puzzled.

“Went to the Holy Region?” The general was startled.

However, at this moment...

Several additional Demon soldiers arrived.

“Report!”

“Report!”

“What’s the big deal?” The soldiers guarding the Demonic Hall raised their spears when they saw the other soldiers approaching the hall.

“General, general, there’s bad news! Meng... Meng Tian, Sagely Battle God Meng Tian... Is... Is outside the city. He’s about to attack... Attack the city...” The few soldiers quickly reported as they rushed over.

“What?! Sagely Battle God Meng Tian! Are you guys... Sure that it’s him?” The eight soldiers guarding the Demonic Hall were shocked.

Sagely Battle God Meng Tian was too much of an overpowering existence to the soldiers of the Demon Race. After all, his legend was still told all around the Blood Shadow City till today.

“Yes, it’s Sagely Battle God Meng Tian. Furthermore, Master Lin Ji is also there. Meng Tian tied her up and they are right outside the city’s gates right now. I saw it clearly!”

“Wait here. I’ll inform the Demon Lord immediately!”

“Yes!”

The Demon soldier just took a step before it seemed like he had recalled something. He turned around and told the general, “You, pass me the letter and wait here too.”

“Yes.” The general handed the letter to the guard and backed away respectfully.

...

A fire soon appeared in the Demonic Hall and the gemstones engraved onto the walls of the hall also lit up, illuminating the entire Demonic Hall as if it was daytime.

“Demon Lord, I have a report!”

“What is it?” Emperor Yun, who was sitting on the throne, raised his head. However, he did not put down the pen in his hand.

“Sagely Battle God Meng Tian is here!”

Pa! The pen in Emperor Yun’s hand dropped onto the paper and the ink smudged the writings on the paper. Despite that, he didn’t even take a single look at it.

That was because he had already stood up from his throne with a shocked expression that had never been seen in his eyes before.

“Send a signal and summon the Domain Chiefs and elders of the 10 regions. Bring in the soldier who made the report as well!” Emperor Yun gave his order as soon as he stood up.

“Yes!” The soldier quickly took his order and exited the hall.

After a brief moment, a hasty and incessant drumming sound came from the Demonic Hall. It was so loud that the entire Blood Shadow City could hear it.

“It’s an urgent military situation!”

“Quick, get to the Demonic Hall immediately!”

“...”

Soon, many people entered the Demonic Hall. In less than 15 minutes, there were already several Domain Chiefs and elders in the hall.

“Demon Lord, why did you summon us at this time of night?”

“Meng Tian, Meng Tian is here!” As Emperor Yun said that, he was pacing around his throne anxiously.

“What?!”

“Meng Tian, Sagely Battle God Meng Tian?!”

“He came to Blood Shadow City!”

“Yes, Meng Tian is right outside Blood Shadow City now. I saw it clearly!” The soldier in charge of the report quickly responded to the Domain Chiefs and elders.

“He’s really here. How many people are there?” An elder frowned and asked.

“There are four of them, along with Master Lin Ji. I saw it clearly. Two of them are Settlement Chiefs of the Southern Region, and the other one is the Princess of the Southern Region, Shan Yu!”

“They dare to invade Blood Shadow City with merely four people?!” A chilling light appeared in that elder’s eyes when he heard that and he clenched his fists tightly.

“Demon Lord, let’s fight them!”

“How? Our opponent is the Sagely Battle God, Meng Tian. I doubt that all of us combined would be a match for him. Furthermore, they are holding Master Lin Ji as a hostage.”

“Damn it, if Young Lord and Master Lin Yu didn’t happen to have left for the Holy Region, why would we be scared of Meng Tian?”

“There’s no point talking about that now. Since Meng Tian is here, this battle is unavoidable. Regardless, we have to defend Blood Shadow City!”

The Demon elders and Domain Chiefs quickly started discussing. There were many complicated expressions on their faces. Some looked stunned, some looked cold, and there were also those who looked ferocious.

“Demon Lord, please give me an order. I’ll find out how strong Meng Tian really is!” They heard a voice amongst the discussion.

Then, someone walked out. His face, although ordinary, was as sharp and cold as a knife.

It was Ying Domain’s current Domain Chief, Ying Dao.

“Domain Chief Ying? Are you really capable of fighting Meng Tian alone?” One of the Domain Chiefs asked when he saw Ying Dao walking out.

“Domain Chief Ying, it’s good that you want to fight him. However, the opponent is Meng Tian after all. In my opinion, it’s safer for us to take turns fighting him!”

“The Third Elder is right. No matter how strong Meng Tian is, he’s just a single person. I don’t believe that he could slaughter the entire Blood Shadow City!”

“Demon Lord, give us your order!”

“Demon Lord, please give us your orders!”

“Alright, acting appropriately according to the situation has been the everlasting truth. Since Meng Tian is here, us Demon Race wouldn’t be scared of him.” Emperor Yun nodded and said, then, he glanced outside the hall and continued, “However, it’s not the best choice for us to take him head-on. We’ll do as the Domain Chiefs and elders have suggested and take turns fighting him to wear him down. Additionally, send an urgent mail to Qingwu and asked her to bring the Godly State expert back to help us!”

“Yes!” One of the soldiers waiting in the hall who was in charge of passing his orders quickly took the order and made his exit.

“Let’s go, I shall see how strong Meng Tian really is!” Emperor Yun left his throne right after he gave his order.

“Demon Lord, please wait!” He heard Ying Dao’s voice once again.

“Domain Chief Ying, do you have something against my arrangement?” Emperor Yun frowned at Ying Dao, who blocked his way with his arm.

Emperor Yun wasn’t actually too fond of Ying Dao. Although he didn’t mind Yun Qingwu taking the throne, it didn’t mean that he liked Ying Dao’s attitude towards him.

“Demon Lord, I have no objections.” Ying Dao shook his head and replied.

“Then why are you stopping me?”

“Ying Dao is just concerned about Demon Lord’s safely. Since you have ordered us to take turns fighting him, then you’d naturally wait in the Demon Hall.”

“What do you mean? Are you suggesting that I should wait here?”

“This is for your own safety!”

“Safety my ass. I know how strong I am. Do I really need a Domain Chief like you to be concerned about me? Step aside, I’m going to watch the battle personally and find out about Meng Tian’s true strength!”

“Please forgive me because I cannot step aside!” Ying Dao shook his head once again, completely ignoring Emperor Yun’s order.

“Ying Dao, are you disobeying my order?” Emperor Yun frowned and an intense flame soon appeared on his fist.

“Demon Lord, Ying Dao is just trying to ensure your safety!”

“Yes, although Ying Dao’s attitude isn’t great. However, he’s the Domain Chief of Ying Domain, after all, Demon Lord, please consider the overall situation!”

“Demon Lord, please do not be angry. We are facing a powerful enemy!”

Several elders quickly chimed in in order to prevent the conflict between Emperor Yun and Ying Dao from worsening.

“Step aside!” Said Emperor Yun once again.

“The Young Lord has personally told me that I must protect the Demon Lord if anything happened to Blood Shadow City. The Young Lord and Demon Deity are heading towards the Holy Region to carry out their big plan and there could be no mistakes. If anything happened to you, wouldn’t that affect Young Lord’s judgement?”

“Ying Dao, are you saying that I’m not strong enough to protect myself?” Emperor Yun was furious when he heard that.

Demons respected the strong.

That was a tradition that had been passed down from thousands of years ago. How could Emperor Yun claim the throne if he was untalented and weak?

However, since Yun Qingwu brought back the Six Domain Demonic Army back to Blood Shadow City, Emperor Yun had handed over the future of the Demon Race and all his power to Yun Qingwu.

Yun Qingwu was actually the one making all the decisions.

However, as Emperor Yun was once an overlord, how could he really be interested in being a carefree Demon Lord that did not need to do anything? That was especially true after he saw hope.

In fact, that was the reason why he gave the order to invade the Golden Scale City in Great Xia Dynasty’s Northern Lands before Yun Qingwu had returned to Blood Shadow City.

The outcome was obvious...

Golden Scale City was seized and both Great Xia Dynasty and the Empire of the Northern Barbarians were kept at bay.

That allowed Yun Qingwu to attack the Southern Region without any worries, and Great Xia Dynasty couldn’t send any troops to their rescue.

Of course, some minor accidents happened in the process. For example, they lost a Vice Domain Chief, and Yun Qingwu brought back a troop of 10,000 soldiers from Northern Mountain Village.

However, Emperor Yun never felt that he had done anything wrong.

On the contrary, if he was given another chance, he would have done the same thing. The only difference was the fact that he would give his order even earlier.

‘It’s just a village, so what if we had slaughtered all of them. Does Fang Zhengzhi really dare to attack Blood Shadow City?!” Emperor Yun wasn’t concerned about it. However, since Yun Qingwu had insisted, he naturally wouldn’t have anything against it. After all, he was Yun Qingwu’s father.

Why would a father argue with his daughter?

Emperor Yun took the blame, and he even had to deal with Ying Dao’s bad attitude because of that. Now that Ying Dao had blocked his way, how could he, the powerful Demon Lord, continue to endure it?

“Demon Lord, if you really want to watch the battle, please kill me first!” Ying Dao could obviously sense Emperor Yun’s anger. However, he was completely not afraid because it was Yun Qingwu’s order that he had to keep the Demon Lord safe and prevent him from taking a single step out of the Demonic Hall no matter what.
