Chapter 729: Betrayal
However, since Mr. Gu was willing to meddle, Jin Niao felt that she didn't need to worry about it.
To the Golden Bird's surprise, the little girl was extremely injured, yet she was still alive, which was quite unusual.
The most serious injury was to her soul, which was completely shattered. The reason it hadn't completely dissipated was that something was holding the broken soul together, but this injury was no different from death.
It's only a matter of time before they die completely.
Compared to that, her internal problems such as severed meridians, shattered bones, and missing dantian are all minor issues.
"She's not dead yet, but it seems unlikely that Mr. Gu can save her." Jin Niao expressed serious doubt about Gu Heng's "good deed." With injuries like that, she might die at any moment. What's the point of saving her?
Of course, one can only think about it in their heart; they certainly wouldn't dare to say it out loud.
—The lives of birds are of utmost importance.
……
The main city of the Scorching Sun Demon Realm is home to the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor's imperial palace.
Inside the imperial palace, everything was pure white.
A man in purple robes sat in the main seat, his eyes dark and deep, his pupils burning with fierce flames.
He stared at the dozens of demon cultivators below, his expression unreadable, yet the sense of oppression was extremely high.
"Zi Yuan, why have you summoned us?"
One of them spoke up.
After a long pause, Zi Yuan finally moved his lips and said indifferently, "I summoned you all here so that you could prepare yourselves. The order from the Most Demonic Tower has been issued; we are about to wage war against the Immortal Realm for the second time!"
"This grand meeting at the Most Demonic Tower is the final order."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall became solemn, their expressions deeply shaken.
Although they had received word long ago that the Immortal Realm had found an opportunity to reconnect with the Xuan Tian Realm, the Demon Realm would inevitably take action sooner or later.
However, the main reason why the Demon Tower summoned all the Demon Emperors of the Demon Realm for a meeting was not this...
Mainly because.
Some days ago.
The main city and domain lord of the Blazing Rain Demon Realm were both destroyed by two skeleton creations that broke into the realm from outside!
The battle was extremely brief; even the Yin-Yang Demon Lord of the Most Demonic Tower had to fight against it, yet he still couldn't prevent the Blazing Rain Demon Realm from being utterly destroyed. The entire world was shaken!
That confrontation must have spurred the most ruthless building, so now they're planning to go all out.
Everyone was mentally prepared, knowing that the resumption of war was inevitable.
But one thing at a time, people still have some questions.
"Where is our lord? Now that the order from the Demon Tower has been issued, our lord should have returned long ago. How can she be absent from such a momentous matter?"
Another person questioned this.
They all knew Zi Yuan's identity. Although he lived in the Imperial Palace, he was not its master.
Such an important matter should have been discussed with them personally by the Blazing Sun Demon Emperor.
At this moment, Zi Yuan, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly turned gloomy. He stood up, looked down, and said in an icy voice: "The Scorching Sun Demon Emperor is dead. From this day forward, I am the new lord of this Scorching Sun Demon Domain!"
This statement caused an uproar among the crowd!
The crowd below all looked astonished. This news was far too sudden, leaving everyone present completely stunned.
New domain owner?
"Our lord has fallen?"
"Impossible! Our lord is one of the Five Emperors, how could he die so easily?"
There are many speculations, but even the chief steward of the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor said so, and the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor did not show up. Could this really be true?
Where did you get this information?
Of course, no one could guess the answer just by guessing, but Zi Yuan clearly knew something. "She openly opposed the decree of the Most Demonic Tower, had already been labeled a traitor, and was ordered by the Most Demonic Tower to exterminate her. She is already dead."
"So, I am now the new domain lord. Do any of you have any objections?"
Zi Yuan spoke coldly.
There were still people who disagreed with this, and soon someone couldn't help but shout angrily, "Zi Yuan, are you crazy?!"
"You are merely the Lord's chief steward. Don't think that just because you reside in this imperial palace, you are the lord of this Scorching Sun Demon Realm. If the Lord truly dies, the position of lord will be given to the most capable. You, by virtue of—"
The words are not finished yet.
The cultivator who spoke, a seventh-level Demon Emperor, was suddenly turned into blood foam by Zi Yuan's palm strike!
Instant death!
Everyone was stunned.
He was killed in a single move? When they looked over again, they found that Zi Yuan's aura had become so powerful that the entire imperial palace was trembling. Without a doubt, it was the power that only a Demon Emperor could possess!
He's actually advanced to Demon Emperor?!
How can it be?
This guy was only at the seventh level of Demon Emperor just a few days ago!
Zi Yuan remained expressionless, his gaze sweeping over each person in the prince: "Who else has any objections? Step forward."
Looking at the pool of blood on the ground, the Demon Emperor level seven cultivator was instantly killed, and a silent fear and oppressive feeling enveloped everyone's hearts.
Some people who were originally eager to stand up and confront Zi Yuan, now lowered their heads and chose to shut their mouths, even if they were unwilling.
Zi Yuan looked around and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He waited. A short while passed, and still no one dared to step forward.
Zi Yuan smiled with satisfaction.
He turned and bowed towards the shadows beside him, saying, "Please, Special Envoy, show yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows. He was dressed in a black robe and wore a mask, exuding a cold and solemn aura.
The presence of this figure immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Welcome to the special envoy of the Most Demonic Tower!"
Zi Yuan bowed, and the others followed suit.
Because once the special envoy appears, it is equivalent to the Demon Lord of the Demon Tower personally arriving; that is how revered he is!
Furthermore, the envoy himself is incredibly powerful. He is the true leader of the "Five Emperors" of the Demon Realm. In terms of strength, he is second only to the three Demon Lords of the Demon Tower!
Even though the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor is young, he is still capable of vying for the top spot.
But if they were to actually clash, the outcome would be uncertain.
"I have brought evidence of the Blazing Sun Demon Emperor's betrayal of the Most Demonic Tower." The envoy's voice was old and deep.
He raised his palm, and a wisp of black energy was floating in his palm.
The envoy flicked his arm, and the black energy in his palm rapidly surged, eventually conjuring up a scene of memories.
In the scene, they saw the Blazing Sun Demon Emperor with a full head of white hair and an imposing figure, directly confronting the three great demon lords in front of many demon emperors!
Subsequently.
The Six Laws Demon Lord personally took action to capture the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor, and she indeed refused to submit and directly attacked!
Then they were defeated, and defeated decisively.
With a casual wave of his hand, the Six Laws Demon Lord unleashed a sky full of demonic lightning. Even without experiencing it firsthand, the sheer power of it seemed to transcend time and space, chilling everyone to the bone!
This is the power "above the Demon Emperor".
Even though the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor used all his skills, he couldn't last ten moves against the Six Laws Demon Lord.
Everyone was shocked.
The Lord has actually betrayed us?!
