The fourth elder didnât have time to react due to the stiffness in him when confronting this overwhelming aura. Next thing he knew was a loud bang against his chest that caused himself to flinch backwards in pain, blood dripping down the corner of his mouth.
Making a poignant smile: âYou people from the Celestial Realm are only so much, and here I thought you would take my life with that strike!â
âImpudent beast!â Senior Wei flew into a rage, his attacks coming down like a storm.
Due to the fourth elder being prepared this time around, he did not get hit right away. Nevertheless, the tide still lies with the enemy, leaving the young elder on the defensive.
Bang!
In a careless exchange, a hit lands and causes that already pained face to turn even whiter.
âFourth Elder!â Suddenly, a hand reaches over from the side and supports him from behind.
Turning stiff at the realization, the elder promptly swings his head around to find a familiar face. Quivering in the lips: âOld Five, what are you doing hereâ¦.â
Without hesitation or fear, the rest of the members of the elder council had also returned from the hill, their faces firm and unyielding.
âYou guysâ¦â
âOld Four, all of us are one, thatâs what makes the Demon Council strong. First Elder is away and Second Elder is being punished, that makes me the leader here!â The third elder coldly confronts Senior Wei whoâs eyeing himself with contempt, âSo, we will leave together if we can, and if not then we will perish here together!â
The fourth elder couldnât help but smile at his brethrenâs stubborn yet heartwarming decision. âOkay, we will live together or die together!â

The lady in pink didnât miss this scene. Caressing her chin in contemplation: âI knew animals are more emotional and closer together than us humans, interestingâ¦. If I bind that demon king with a blood bond, wouldnât that make the entire Demon Realm my slave? Yes, that will do nicely! But wait, wasnât the queen of these animals also a human?â
Another old man nearby nods in affirmation: âYes, that queen is a human.â
âThen thatâs a pity. If that person is a human then she canât be my pet.â The lady sighs at the notion, âI donât like others tarnishing my things, not even my pets! When I subdue the Demon Realmâs queen, killing her is just a matter of a word.â
Demon beasts are known to protect their owner with ferocity. If I become their mistress then they will surely obey my orders. Afterwards I can just find that king another wife from among the batch of femalesâ¦.
âMiss, that demon king and the human woman seems to have produced a child as well.â The old man explains with a furrowed forehead.
âChild?â The lady snarls, âIf that childâs talent is excellent then it can stay, but if not then remove it as well. What a shame, for the demon kingâs bloodline to be tainted by a common woman.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although she too was a human and holds the demons here in contempt, but this lady couldnât deny that Di Cang must have a lineage superior to all the rest. And now itâs being tarnished by an outside source!
Regarding the dialogue between those two, the battling elders didnât hear it because theyâre far too focused on the enemy. But if they didâ¦..
