Chapter 1542: Chapter 676: Sha Yan’s Agony, Her Willingness to Marry Lanling!
Princess Sha Yan got up to leave, and the so-called Princess Yudie beside her also rose. Neither of them had removed their masks.
They still did not intend to spare Lanling a glance.
Suddenly, the leader of the Black Blood Demon Riders stepped forward and said in a low voice, “Your Highness, the Black Demon Monarch… he lost!”
At these words, Princess Sha Yan froze on the spot, not moving for a long time.
Because she needed to confirm whether she was still in meditation and having a nightmare, or whether she was experiencing auditory hallucinations.
The leader of the Black Blood Demon Riders said, “Your Highness, you did not mishear, Lanling indeed won!”
Princess Sha Yan trembled.
An overwhelmingly absurd feeling surged within her, and then she abruptly tore off the mask from her face.
Then, she beheld a scene that left her utterly incredulous.
The Black Demon Banner Master lay charred and motionless on the ground, while the Lanling she loathed stood there unharmed, receiving the kneeling reverence of countless people.
This… how could this be possible?
This scene was truly too upheaving, too terrifying.
Wasn’t Lanling’s martial skill exceedingly poor? Wasn’t his energy cultivation at merely a low Demon Warrior level? Yet he managed to defeat the Black Demon Banner Master?
What just happened? Has the world just been completely overturned?
Otherwise, how could such an absurd affair occur? Latest content published on novel⚑fire.net
Beside her, the leader of the Black Blood Demon Riders said, “Your Highness, just now Lanling summoned the Hell Lightning and struck down the Black Demon Banner Master!”
“Hell Lightning?” Princess Sha Yan trembled, gazing incredulously at the leader of the Black Blood Demon Riders beside her.
Summoning the forces of heaven and earth belonged to the realm of a Demon King.
“What is his cultivation?” Princess Sha Yan asked, her voice trembling.
“Five-Star Demon Sect,” said the leader of the Black Blood Demon Riders.
“Such deep scheming,” said Princess Sha Yan coldly; she naturally felt that Lanling must have deliberately hidden his cultivation earlier.
She realized that all eyes in the hall were fixed on her, waiting for her response.
Because in the tripartite oath of the Sky Demon Blood Oath, she was one of the parties. Once Lanling won, she was to marry him.
The reason she took the Sky Demon Blood Oath was that she believed that even if the sun set in the west or the seas flowed backward, Lanling could not possibly win. She could resolve this crisis with minimal cost.
Yet unexpectedly, she not only lost the Black Demon Banner Territory but also trapped herself.
Could she really be obliged to marry Lanling?
She involuntarily glanced again at Lanling.
Still the same face she found immensely hateful, without an ounce of charisma or energy to stir one’s heartstrings.
Prior to the battle, both the Black Demon Banner Master and the Master of Misfortune Cave could not comprehend why Lanling would appear with this unremarkable face.
Of course, both faces belonged to Lanling, and there wouldn’t be any mistaken identity, nor would the result of the duel be denied because of it.
Because neither the Black Demon Banner Master nor the Master of Misfortune Cave identified people based on facial features but on unique energy attributes.
However, these two faces were strikingly different, despite similar contours; one was as handsome and charming as the Little Rakshasa King, brimming with magic power. The other was as ordinary as any passerby, and currently, Lanling bore the face of the passerby.
This was not Lanling playing pranks but aiming for a purpose that could not be disclosed.
What purpose? That his Flame Demon Banner, acknowledged by the Rakshasa King’s City, might still remain independent.
Thus, he absolutely had to marry Princess Sha Yan. However, they must remain separately living in different locations.
Accurately speaking, they must enter a fake marriage.
If he presented his charm too brilliantly, truly enchanting Princess Sha Yan, were she then to live alongside Lanling, many matters would become inconvenient.
Lanling never planned to truly pledge allegiance to the Rakshasa Royal Family; he merely needed time to digest this massive victory, to convert the Black Demon Banner Territory entirely into his own.
For him, Princess Sha Yan was merely a tool, not a genuine bride to be brought into his home.
At this moment, everyone awaited Princess Sha Yan’s response.
Lanling, wearing the face of a pedestrian, smiled and asked, “Princess Sha Yan, I have won. According to the Sky Demon Blood Oath, you should marry me. Do you wish to abide by the Sky Demon Blood Oath?”
In the Southern Barbaric Lands, who dares to violate the Sky Demon Blood Oath, even if they are of the Rakshasa Royal Family.
It is said that if Princess Sha Yan dared to publicly break the oath, upon returning to Rakshasa City, she would face a fate of being ground into dust and bones scattered.
Should the Rakshasa King be present, he would act himself. If not, then the Little Rakshasa King would intervene.
No one can defy the Sky Demon Blood Oath.
Of course, Princess Sha Yan could violate the oath by choosing to commit suicide.
However… she certainly lacks the resolve to court death.
As a member of the Rakshasa Royal Family, Princess Sha Yan has always been accustomed to being the focal point of attention.
Yet this current form of universal attention pains her exceedingly, making her feel immensely uncomfortable.
Every moment now is torture, and in front of her, the detestable Lanling is her nightmare.
His involvement marked the onset of Sha Yan’s misfortunes.
At this moment, her hatred against Lanling was beyond description with mere words; she almost wished to exhaust every power to curse him, why don’t you… just die?
She truly wanted to rend Lanling into dust, with him being sliced thousands of times.
