Chapter 1538: Chapter 674: The Grand Duel! Shocking Tens of Thousands! (Part 2)
“Good!” Princess Di Nie walked in.
The Wing Demon King immediately frowned, showing strong displeasure.
Did I allow you to come in? He was already displeased with the Tiancha King, so he only negotiated with Ashi Liren. The discussion wasn’t even finished when the representative of the Tiancha King brazenly walked in.
But upon seeing Princess Di Nie, the Winged Demon King’s eyes widened, incredulously staring into Di Nie’s eyes, looking at the luxurious wings behind her.
This… is she an Ancient Witch? Truly belonging to the Ancient Demonic Bloodline under the Divine Demon, Your Majesty’s command?
“No wonder Tiancha is so impatient…” said the Wing Demon King. He then stood up and gave a half-bow to Princess Di Nie, saying, “You go and tell Tiancha, once the Southern Barbaric Lands are unified, his son cannot succeed, you will be the successor!”
Di Nie replied, “That’s only natural.”
The Wing Demon King said, “I’ve joined this united front of the Demon Empire. Whenever you need troops, and how many, just have the Witch Kingdom send word!”
It was also a verbal contract, with no written agreements.
Yet this verbal contract was more sacred and authoritative than any written one!
Princess Di Nie nodded, gave a half-bow to the Wing Demon King, and then vanished into thin air.
Ashi Liren also prepared to take leave.
The Wing Demon King suddenly said, “Little Liren, there’s something I’m not sure if I should say?”
Ashi Liren responded, “Your Majesty, please speak.”
The Wing Demon King hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and said, “Never mind, it’s nothing, nothing…”
He originally intended to propose a marriage for his son. In his view, the Crown Prince of the Winged Tribe was so demoralized over a woman, almost beyond recovery.
Perhaps a new relationship could save him, and the exceptional beauty of Ashi Liren before him might help his son recover from desolation.
But a moment’s thought made him realize it was unreliable: Firstly, the Winged Tribe generally does not intermarry with outside races, and secondly, the Witch Kingdom’s Queen highly valued Ashi Liren, and since the Witch Kingdom elected its Queens, Ashi Liren could likely become the Queen’s successor in the future.
Should he have Ashi Liren marry his son, it would ruin Liren’s prospects.
“Then I shall take my leave,” said Liren.
“I’ll see you off!” The Wing Demon King personally escorted Ashi Liren out of the Winged Tribe’s Royal City!
Thus, the unified front of the Demon Empire was formed.
The civil war scene on the Southern Barbaric Continent was set. The attackers were the united front led by the Tiancha King, constituting approximately 2.5 Demon Territories, while the defenders were the Demon Alliance, composed of six major Demon Races!
Of course, the grand internal conflict of the Barbaric Wilderness has yet to reach the Black Demon Banner Territory, and the scent of civil war can’t even be detected in this territory.
At this moment, the only major event looming over the Black Demon Banner was the duel between Lanling and the Demon Banner Master.
This was the most uneven duel in history, the one with the least suspense, yet it determined the fate of countless people.
There was only one day left until the duel!
But almost all spectators had already arrived.
Representatives from Rakshasa City, Misfortune Cave Abode, Fire Demon Mountain, and all the major Demon Warriors and above in the Black Demon Banner Territory.
Thousands of people were there to witness.
The duel would take place in the square of Black Demon City!
Princess Sha Yan didn’t want to come, so as she left, she bluntly told the Demon Banner Master, “I won’t watch the duel; I don’t want to see Lanling’s clown performance. Kill him, and send his skull to Rakshasa City.”
In her view, Lanling could not possibly win.
Although Lanling had performed many miracles before, proposing this duel meant he was either completely mad or scheming something.
Regardless of which, she didn’t want to accompany him, and at this moment, no words could describe her disgust towards Lanling.
There was only one day left until the duel, and she was still staying put in Rakshasa City.
But then, the Little Rakshasa King suddenly sent someone with a message: Do you want to defy the authority of the Heavenly Demon Blood Oath?
Immediately, Princess Sha Yan was furious. Her brother’s meaning was very clear: he wanted her to witness the duel.
However, such an absurd duel, Lanling’s performance as a clown, was something she absolutely didn’t want to see. Just one look at Lanling’s face would make her nauseous.
His so-called miracles maybe were just acts of trickery to fool the Centaurs into allegiance. Beyond that, his martial skills were completely worthless.
The most important thing in the Southern Barbaric Lands was Martial Arts cultivation; Lanling was utterly inept in this.
Especially since he, like a toad lusting after a swan, had even proposed marriage? Googlᴇ search Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Hence, in Princess Sha Yan’s perspective, just one more look at Lanling made her loathsome, not even wanting to breathe the same air as him.
She couldn’t defy the mandate of the Rakshasa Crown Prince, not even as a sister.
Helpless, she had to ride a Dragonhawk, under the protection of thirteen Black Blood Demonic Riders and a thousand Dragonhawk Knights, to head towards Black Demon City in a grand procession to witness the duel between the Demon Banner Master and Lanling’s Army!
The next day, the day for the duel between Lanling and the Demon Banner Master officially arrived!
The square of the Black Demon Castle was packed to the brim.
All important figures of the Flame Demon Tribe, including Suo Mo, Duoduo, Duolong, and all Centaur Khans were present.
The force from Lanling’s side was nearly a thousand strong!
Even the forces from Misfortune Cave Abode, Rakshasa City, Fire Demon Mountain, and Black Demon City exceeded three thousand!
Over twenty thousand Centaurs, all gathered on the streets of Black Demon City!
