CHAPTER 439: CHAPTER 439: FAILING TO SHOW OFF AND BEING OUTDONE

Hearing this tone, Shangeng Quasi-Emperor was even more puzzled.

No one had ever dared to speak to him like this before.

"Who exactly are you?"

Brother Cheng pondered that he was already a Quasi-Emperor now.

And he was about to make a killing at the Grand Demon Assembly, so there was no need to worry about low stature.

So he directly transformed back into human form.

Shangeng Quasi-Emperor was initially a bit displeased, but when he saw this human appearance, he was almost scared to death on the spot.

"Sect Leader Jiang!"

His clouded eyes became incomparably bright, and his sickly old demeanor dissipated entirely, as if a lovestruck girl had seen her idol, he was overjoyed.

"It’s really you?"

"Oh my God, if I had known you were the Azure Dragon Emperor, I would have come to pay my respects at the first moment!"

Without waiting for the group of Sheep Demons behind him to react, this ’prodigy junior’ of the Sheep Race made a sliding knee in the air, stopping right in front of Brother Cheng.

"Why have you come here?"

In his impression, Brother Cheng was an unmistakable member of the Human Race, never having shown any traits of the Demon Race.

"And you’ve even become..."

He suddenly clammed up.

What if Sect Leader Jiang had mingled into the Azure Dragon Race for some grand plan?

Then this shout of his would have exposed him, wouldn’t it?

He cautiously glanced at Cang Ji, only to find him full of astonishment and surprise.

While Jiaoqiong Quasi-Emperor nearly dropped his chin.

"Shangeng, what are you doing?"

"Why are you paying him such great respect?"

He jumped up directly, indignantly saying, "Cang Ji, what’s going on? Isn’t this your race’s Great Emperor, how come he’s a human?"

Cang Ji regained his composure and immediately burst into joyful laughter.

"Hahaha, our race’s Great Emperor has always lived in the human world, isn’t it fine if he likes to transform into human form?"

"As for your race’s junior prodigy’s admiration for him, that’s none of my business!"

Just now, Jiaoqiong Quasi-Emperor came over boasting, something about how his Sheep Race’s prodigy junior was a secret weapon, and meanwhile, he didn’t think much of Emperor Cang Cheng.

It had already made him quite angry.

Seeing this scene now, he felt exactly like taking a huge bite of ice on a scorching summer day, feeling extremely refreshed.

Your Sheep Race’s prodigy, your secret weapon, just this?

What about the entire Demon Race standing up, you all have already knelt in front of our race’s Great Emperor.

Though he didn’t know how the Great Emperor accomplished this, it felt incredibly satisfying!

Brother Cheng curiously asked, "Why are you different from other Demon Races, and why are you dressed like this?"

As soon as Sect Leader Jiang spoke, Shangeng confessed immediately.

"Haha, made you laugh, after arriving at the Immortal Realm, I specifically transformed into human form and infiltrated the Human Sect to study Artifact Refining."

"This is a specially refined Demon Armor, capable of channeling Demon Power."

"You know, among us Mountain Goat Race, our Demon Body is far inferior to many other races. With this Demon Armor, I’m not afraid of facing them head-on."

"Moreover, this Demon Armor also enhances my Rule Power..."

He rattled on, like pouring peas from a bamboo tube, introducing the detailed workings of the Demon Armor.

What secret weapon, he completely pushed it into the background.

This made Jiaoqiong so anxious.

"Shangeng, are you crazy?"

He roared angrily, rushing to Shangeng Quasi-Emperor’s side.

"He’s also your potential opponent, how can you divulge this stuff?"

"Besides, he’s just an early-stage Quasi-Emperor, and from the Dragon Race, why do you respect him so much?"

"Did he cast some Demon Technique on you?"

He couldn’t accept it.

Just moments ago, he was proudly showing off, and now his most promising junior was kneeling to someone else.

His most prized act of posturing had become the opposite, getting schooled in posturing himself?

Where to put this face?

Shangeng Quasi-Emperor completely ignored him.

All he could see now was Sect Leader Jiang.

The gratitude from back then was too heavy, multiple life-saving instances, lifetime can’t repay.

Moreover, the scene of Sect Leader Jiang slaying the Immortal Emperor was unforgettable.

"Unexpectedly, you even signed up, so there’s no suspense for first place this time!"

This Old Goat was exceptionally astute, quickly figuring out many things.

"The Qilin Race provoked the Azure Dragon Race led by you, it seems the Demon Realm is in for a change!"

"You must take me with you when the time comes!"

In his opinion, provoking Sect Leader Jiang meant the Qilin Race could already be declared done for.

In the future, the Demon Realm will inevitably have a reshuffled order, and cozying up to Brother Cheng in advance might just elevate the Sheep Race’s status.

"Among ourselves, that’s a given!"

Brother Cheng was in a good mood.

"Aren’t you afraid of catching your tongue in a big wind!"

Jiaoqiong Quasi-Emperor was furious, jumping up and down, totally unable to understand these two nutcases.

"What nonsense are you two speaking?"

"Nothing much, hahaha!"

From then on, Shangeng Quasi-Emperor stayed by Brother Cheng’s side.

Addressing him as Sect Leader Jiang with such diligence, you would think he’d let Sect Leader Jiang ride on his back.

The other Sheep Demons were dumbfounded.

Since coming to the Demon Realm, Shangeng had maintained good relations with many in the Sheep Race, but nobody was ever up to his standards.

Even the Qilin Race couldn’t make him bow down.

Despite coming from the Lower Realm, his nature was single-mindedly prideful.

Yet now, he had become so humble, it felt too miraculous!

Cang Ji, of all people, would remark with what others avoided: "Yo, your Sheep Race’s genius has quite the eye!"

"He even recognized our Great Emperor’s extraordinariness and submitted early to our Azure Dragon Race’s camp."

Jiaoqiong cursed: "Submit to your head! Given the current state of your Azure Dragon Race, a fool would join you!"

Cang Ji winked, his beard quivering with laughter: "It’s not up to you. The future leader of your Sheep Race might just be Shangeng Quasi-Emperor."

"Dream on, I’ll wake him up!"

"By then, our Azure Dragon Race will sponsor your Sheep Race, don’t regret it, hahaha..."

Cang Ji was just saying, but he was truly shocked inside.

How did the Great Emperor manage this?

Could it be that this Sheep Race prodigy Shangeng was also someone he met in the human world?

Even if they were acquaintances, he didn’t have to be so respectful, right?

And so, they eventually arrived at the outskirts of the Grand Demon Palace together.

"Ahem, Shuaicheng, could you transform back to your Azure Dragon form?"

Cang Ji had no choice but to ask for a favor: "There are too many groups here in the Demon Realm with deep hatred against humans."

"If you go in human form, it’ll cause a lot of disturbance and trouble."

Given that Cang Ji addressed him as Shuaicheng, Brother Cheng gave him this concession, transforming back into his Azure Dragon True Body.

To look at from the outside, the Grand Demon Palace was already breathtakingly magnificent.

An enormous cluster of palaces stretching for tens of thousands of miles nestled among the mountains, their high eaves reaching into the clouds with endless splendor.

Once inside, Brother Cheng found that the interior was more than a thousand times larger than the exterior.

It seems they used the Space Rule.

And in such a vast space, there were demon figures everywhere.

No choice, many Quasi-Emperors had come, and their sheer size was imposing once they unfolded.

And their entry attracted the attention of many demons.
