Chapter 849: Chapter 661: Kneel

Baili An could hardly believe it; would the Demon Lord be so muddleheaded?!

Recently, various calamities have occurred in the Demon World, yet she remained indifferent to them.

Now, even the former Demon Queen has risen from the dead, yet she has all her attention focused on that wedding.

“With the advent of ‘Taoyan’, the Demon World is bound to change, the Demon Queen reborn as the corpse demon awakens, inadvertently securing Mi Lu’s position within the Demon Clan.”

Yin Baishuang glanced at Baili An, a bit gloatingly: “You have deep-seated grievances with Mi Lu. On that day in the bronze world, you broke his spine and injured his wings.

At the Monarch’s Return Banquet, he targeted you everywhere, clearly hating you deeply. Now you’ve slept his Young Princess Consort in various positions, so tell me, now that he has the support of that old demoness mother, who’s the first person he’ll deal with?”

Is this the case of driving away the young one only to bring in the old one?

Baili An grumbled: “Isn’t it just a resurrection? Who’s afraid of his old demoness mother? Says as if no one’s ever risen from the dead.”

Yin Baishuang was amused by him: “It is said the former Demon Lord’s Queen was of the Ninth Grade in the Sanctum Ascension Refining Void Realm among the four legendary realms.

Though in the Sanctum Ascension Realm, after the Refining Void Realm, there are still the Eternal, Ancient Tribulation, and Saint realms, with a long road to reach the pinnacle of the six paths.

But to us common folk, such an existence can crush us with a single finger, so you can’t afford not to be afraid.”

Baili An stiffened slightly and said: “Sanctum Ascension Realm? Then wouldn’t she be even more formidable than the current Demon Lord?”

Yin Baishuang laughed: “That’s not necessarily true. Do you really think the transformation to a corpse and demon is that simple? I believe that Demon Queen Zhi Yuyan must have paid an enormous price for her rebirth.

Throughout history, those who become demons through corpse transformation, when they first awaken, their strength barely retains one-tenth, hence judging by this, the true cultivation of the current Demon Queen is probably at the Thousand Tribulation Realm of the Tribulation Three Realms.”

Baili An rubbed his forehead: “The current Demon Lord’s cultivation is also at the Thousand Tribulation Realm.”

The Demon World is about to witness a struggle between dragons and tigers.

Yin Baishuang sneered slightly: “The young Demon Lord, having come this far, do you truly think she has nothing hidden up her sleeves? Her Thousand Tribulation Realm might be just for show to those Demon Ministers, who knows.”

Recalling the cunning personality of the Female Demon Lord, it’s highly likely she’s as sly as Yin Baishuang suggested.

Yin Baishuang said: “No matter what, in the vast Demon World now, there are few who can suppress the Demon Lord in cultivation. If Demon Queen Zhi Yuyan wants to kill the Demon Lord by force, it won’t be easy.”

Baili An thought for a moment and said: “But given the status of the Demon Queen, if she wants to undermine this Demon Lord, there could be thousands of ways.”

Indeed, Baili An’s words proved prescient.

Returning to the Royal City of Mo City, it was already the perpetual day-and-night scene.

The hundreds of officials and Demon Ministers entered the night court of the Heavenly Capital, an unprecedented first.

Baili An landed with his Sword Control, and a stern-faced Inner Official from the Royal Palace approached with a lantern.

“Lord Si Chen, tonight, a hundred Demon Officials simultaneously struck the Heavenly Drum, signaling a great night court assembly. Since you’ve returned to the palace, please proceed to the Royal Hall.”

Baili An had no intention of avoiding the calamity tonight, nodded, and headed inside.

Yin Baishuang followed, but was intercepted by the piercing gaze of that Inner Official: “This young lady holds no official title in the court, merely a Favored Concubine, and has no qualification to participate in the discussions.”

The term “Favored Concubine” made Yin Baishuang’s eyes turn cold, ready to erupt on the spot.

At this moment, Baili An turned to give her a signal and said: “Since tonight your companion was injured by ‘Taoyan’, why not take care of him first?”

Yin Baishuang’s expression hardened, realizing Baili An’s intention.

He wanted her to go back and closely examine Jiachen, the Scripture Master of the Taixuan Eight Classics, to confirm if he was truly a demonic spirit beneath his skin.

Yin Baishuang was already uninterested in the night court assembly in the Demon World, so did not linger and left towards the palace.

At this moment, the Royal Hall was filled with a sea of dark sacrificial robes.

Baili An also received the prepared official robe from the Inner Official, quickly donned it, and entered the hall.

The grand court was solemn and orderly, the atmosphere tense and watchful.

Even Mi Lu, who had lost his spine, was dressed in a dark sacrificial robe, wearing a headpiece and crown, standing straight; for a moment, he appeared radiant and full of vitality!

Not far in front of Mi Lu stood a tall woman, with ink-like hair, eyes cold and merciless, her deep purple lips carrying an inexplicable seductive wickedness.

Her fingernails were long and ebony, radiating an ominous glow, emitting a chilling and damp aura that made people hesitant to approach.

This demeanor, attire, and expression were unfamiliar in the Demon World.

It appeared to be the former Demon Lord’s Queen, Zhi Yuyan.

Only the Female Demon Lord on the throne was half-awake, her hair unkempt, simply pinned up with a jade hairpin.

Her remaining hair lazily draped over her shoulders, under a loosely-fitted black robe with gold embroidery, revealing a sleep robe, clearly dragged from her slumber to court.

She was idly toying with the Jade Seal in her hand, seemingly oblivious to the weighty atmosphere emanating from the gathered ministers.

As for the Demon Queen, laden with the aura of Yin Soil and corpse, she too was ignored, lazily yawning: “Was it just for this reason that you roused me in the middle of the night?”
