Chapter 1632: Chapter 723: Yao Xing Returns! You Ming in Shock!

Elder Mokan spat blood and fainted!

Four Demon Lords and dozens of Demon Sect members quickly rushed up and helped Elder Mokan up.

The defeat of the Demon Lord did not pain the Demon Lord himself the most, but rather You Ming and Mokan.

Who hated Lanling and the Little Rakshasa King the most? It was Elder Mokan, because Lanling had castrated his son and forced Mokan to kill his own son with his own hands.

After Lanling’s downfall, who benefitted the most? Prince You Ming.

Although the Demon Lord’s family was destroyed, life extinguished in death, he did not feel the pain.

But Elder Mokan had to live on and continue enduring endless pain.

After quite a while, Elder Mokan slowly regained consciousness and then fell into silence.

The matter had already occurred, next, he had to think about how to stop the loss.

First, could the Rakshasa Tribe’s force be deployed to eliminate Lanling?

This thought had barely emerged before it was immediately dismissed.

It was absolutely impossible, as the great internal battle within the Demon Race was about to erupt. The withdrawal of the Demon Sky Clan’s main force was already the limit Razshasa King could endure, and also the limit the Demon Alliance could bear.

If military force was to be used again against Lanling, the main army of the Rakshasa Tribe must be mobilized.

In this way, would the war against the unified front of the Demon Empire still be fought?

In case Lanling and Tiancha King attacked from inside and outside, the Rakshasa Tribe would truly be on the brink of peril.

So, the possibility of using force to solve the Lanling issue had vanished.

Since force couldn’t resolve Lanling, appeasement was necessary!

Once appeasement of Lanling began, it would be a case of the victor becoming king and the loser a bandit.

In this internal conflict, Lanling would become the righteous side, and the Demon Lord would become the evil side.

Most importantly, Prince You Ming lost the greatest outside support while the Crown Prince’s arm not only remained unsevered but became even stronger.

“You four, come with me to Prince You Ming’s mansion,” Elder Mokan said.

…

Prince You Ming, at this moment, was enjoying the service of an exceptionally beautiful woman.

This woman was the daughter of the Demon Lord, Gu Ping.

Of course, she wasn’t one of Prince You Ming’s wives or concubines; she was actually someone else’s wife, the wife of a son of a Rakshasa Elder.

These days were the most delightful for Prince You Ming; he wasn’t the Crown Prince but seemed even more than a Crown Prince.

Now, he was waiting for one piece of news, Lanling’s destruction.

According to time, it should be soon…

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, and Elder Mokan rushed in with four people.

Prince You Ming was taken aback, then laughed heartily and said, “My dear uncle, the demise of that lowly Lanling is good news, but there’s no need to be so excited. His downfall was predestined; you didn’t need to come rushing to tell me.”

Mokan glanced at the woman kneeling under You Ming, sighed, and said, “You Ming, before I tell you, you need to be mentally prepared.”

Youming was surprised and said, “What? Lanling ran away?”

Elder Mokan said, “The Demon Lord has been defeated; the entire army is annihilated!”

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap, and Prince You Ming lost all reaction, his entire body seemingly frozen in place.

Suddenly… he felt a sharp pain, and immediately kicked the woman beneath him away.

The woman didn’t bother putting on her clothes properly and directly stood up and said to Elder Mokan, “Uncle Mokan, what did you say? My father lost? How is that possible? My father’s strength is ten times that of that lowly Lanling, how could he lose?”

Elder Mokan didn’t look at her at all, but instead, addressed Prince You Ming, “Lanling was about to be completely destroyed, but at the critical moment, he summoned a million-strong Skeleton Legion and slaughtered the Demon Lord’s entire army.”

Prince You Ming turned pale and fell back onto his chair.

His reaction wasn’t as intense as Elder Mokan’s, he didn’t spit blood, nor did he have moments of doubt, but rather, he immediately accepted this fact.

Moreover, his first reaction was, with Lanling’s great victory and the Demon Lord’s total annihilation, how it would impact his position as the Crown Prince?

Elder Mokan said, “The relationship between Lanling and the Crown Prince isn’t close, so it’s not impossible to win him over; as long as you offer him enough benefits, he can take the Crown Prince’s side, or he can take yours.”

Indeed, Elder Mokan was capable of great forbearance, even disregarding the vendetta of slaying his son for the sake of interests.

Prince You Ming was silent.

Elder Mokan said, “You can promise him that once you ascend the throne, you will make the Flame Demon Banner the leader of the Thirteen Demon Flags and allow him into the Rakshasa Elders Council.”

It must be said, Elder Mokan spoke words of great statecraft.

However, Prince You Ming didn’t respond but quietly contemplated.

Elder Mokan said, “You Ming, if you want to recruit Lanling, it must be done quickly.”

“No!” Prince You Ming raised his hand, coldly saying, “Uncle, three matters.”

“First thing, Lanling’s overwhelming victory only cost me the support of the Heaven Demon Banner. It barely affects the position of Crown Prince, as the Crown Prince has already publicly issued a military warrant, and Father has long disliked him. Once the war with the unified front of the Demon Empire breaks out, with the Tiancha King attacking our Rakshasa Tribe, the removal of the Crown Prince’s position will be a foregone conclusion!”

“Second thing, although Lanling’s Centaur Legion is powerful, as you said, this battle was initially going to be their complete annihilation. It was the million-strong Skeleton Legion that turned the tide. So, without the Skeleton Legion, Lanling’s power is hardly worth mentioning. We can easily destroy him; therefore, we should not lose our composure now. We must immediately investigate the origin of this million-strong Skeleton Legion. More importantly, we must clarify whether this Skeleton Legion is always loyal to Lanling or just a one-time occurrence.”

“Third thing…” Prince You Ming sighed deeply and said, “We’ve always called Lanling a Near-Human Tribe mongrel, repeatedly calling him a lowly breed. But now we can no longer deceive ourselves. We must face his bloodline talent. Lanling summoned hell lightning and revived the Black Demon Monarch. All signs prove that he is a Bloodline Mutant of the Demon Bloodline and an invader of the Demon King. Therefore, he must die, and he must be killed while he is still weak; otherwise, the scene of the Ice People from the Tiancha Tribe usurping the throne back then will be replayed.”

Upon hearing Prince You Ming’s words, Elder Mokan immediately quieted down.

He was willing to temporarily put aside hatred, grow old to strategize for the nation, and personally recruit Lanling for Prince You Ming, which is indeed remarkable.

However, Prince You Ming saw further and was more insightful!

After suffering such a blow, Elder Mokan couldn’t bear it and directly spat blood.

However, Prince You Ming still maintained the clearest mind, and every analysis of his hit the mark.

“Your Highness is wise…” Elder Mokan gave a half bow.

Prince You Ming said, “Now the most important thing is to remove the Crown Prince, waiting for the great war with the unified front of the Demon Empire to erupt. Everything else must yield to this. As long as I sit on the Crown Prince’s position, everything else will be negotiable. As for Lanling’s victory over the Demon Lord, this matter must be completely blocked. If it cannot be blocked, then make it indifferent. Do not hype it, do not discuss it, and especially do not try to win over Lanling.”

“Yes!” Elder Mokan said.

Prince You Ming said, “The most important thing is to investigate the origin of this Skeleton Legion, to clarify whether they will always be loyal to Lanling? Will they always exist, or are they just a fleeting moment?”

“Yes!” Elder Mokan said.

…

All the absorption and devouring truly ended completely!

Lanling sat down cross-legged, preparing to temper his body and increase his cultivation!

This time, after devouring the demonic bloodline energy of nine Demon Lords, nearly a hundred from the Demon Sect, and two thousand Demon Martial Grandmasters, though some energy was returned, it was still an astronomical amount. One really wonders what kind of massive breakthrough it will bring him.

He closed his eyes, released his spiritual power, and began to view his energy heart internally, planning to summon energy for meridian tempering and body tempering.

However…

Lanling summoned many times, yet it was still silent and motionless.

His energy heart, his Golden Bloodline had no response,

Lanling released spiritual power to the depths of his energy heart, summoning the Demon Bloodline again and again.

However, there was still no response.

His Demon Bloodline, his energy heart seemed to be completely asleep, with no response and no energy emerging to temper his body’s meridians.

This… what exactly is going on?

Lanling was truly stunned, why is it like this?

This time, after devouring an astronomical amount of energy, his whole body’s meridians felt as if they had exploded, all covered in scars.

After so much energy was swallowed by the Golden Bloodline and energy heart, why was there no reaction at all?

This situation is unprecedented?

What exactly happened? Lanling was bewildered, carrying a bit of unease.

Again and again, he summoned, even releasing spiritual power repeatedly to impact his Golden Bloodline.

At this moment…

Suddenly, a faint light slowly brightened…

Lanling’s heart skipped a beat and then quickly started again.

This scene… was too familiar.

When he first came to this world, this was the first scene he saw.

A light gradually brightened, very faint, like a firefly.

“Yao Xing…” Lanling’s heart trembled as he said.

After Lanling finished calling, he anxiously awaited a response.

Quite a while later…

That familiar voice echoed in Lanling’s mind.

“My master, long time no see…”

Yao Xing, it was indeed Yao Xing.

How long had it been since it disappeared? Three years, or even longer?

At this moment, it finally revived again, reappeared!
