Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 928: Chapter 797: Seeking the Demon Essence

Absolute suppression, this is sheer suppression.

Without a sliver of mercy, Yan Jiu crushed the Ghost Demon Ship with a single claw, his oppressive might forcing the Wild Ambition Commander deeper into the ground.

The Wild Ambition Commander was utterly bewildered, his previous arrogance and discontent vanished in an instant.

Yan Jiu’s words were like two resounding slaps, jolting the Wild Ambition Commander back to his senses.

How could he have forgotten that this person before him was no one easy to deal with; he once stood shoulder to shoulder with both the Demon Emperor and the Demon Empress.

Within the Demon World, the hierarchy is distinct, from demon beasts, demons, great demons, sky demons, all the way to demon kings and demon emperors, the higher one goes, the stronger their demonic power.

The Wild Ambition Commander was of the great demon level. In his view, Yan Jiu, as a Demon God Guard, was at most a sky demon level existence.

Sky demon, seemingly just a step away from the great demon level of the Wild Ambition Commander. Besides, Yan Jiu had disappeared for many years, and his prestige in the Demon World was no longer what it used to be, so the Wild Ambition Commander foolishly dared to speak out of turn.

But now it seems, the strength of the ten Demon God Guards personally trained by the Demon Ancestor far exceeds any sky demon, and at the very least, reaches the level of a demon king.

The Wild Ambition Commander regretted it deeply.

”Lord Jiuwei, this little one failed to recognize Mount Tai. Please, old master, show mercy. I hold no malice, I merely followed the South Nether Spirit Emperor’s order to invite you to South Nether City for a reunion.”

”Reunion is a guise; probing for information about the Demon Ancestor is the truth. Go back and tell those two in Netherworld City that karma and retribution are principles of the Heavenly Dao, their good days are numbered.” With those words, Yan Jiu vanished without a trace.

He may have left, but the oppressive force he imposed on the Wild Ambition Commander did not lift.

After a whole day and night, with a mouthful of sand eaten on the wasteland, the Wild Ambition Commander finally regained his freedom and, looking quite disgraced, returned to South Nether City.

Since the fall of the Demon Ancestor, the Demon World had plunged into chaos.

In turbulent times, the ten thousand demons rebelled, and ultimately the most capable rose to the top.

Among them, the four Great Demon Kings and the two Demon Emperors were the most powerful. The two Demon Emperors were the South Nether Emperor and the Beiyu Emperor, with the South Nether Emperor establishing his capital in South Nether City.

The Wild Ambition Commander was directly under the command of the Ghost Army of the South Nether Emperor.

However, the true superior of the Wild Ambition Commander was not the South Nether Emperor, but the South Nether Empress Xiyan, known as the one-time Demon Empress of the Demon World.

Inside the Lingxiu Palace of South Nether City.

Unlike the rest of the Demon World which was engulfed in chilling winds and eternal winter, this Lingxiu Palace was warm due to a hot spring, making the entire palace cozy.

Unlike typical palaces abundantly planted with various flowers, within the Lingxiu Palace, there was only one type of flower planted, and that was the moonflower.

Moonflowers bloom all year round, never wilting, spread everywhere, enchanting.

Yet no matter how beautiful the moonflower, it could not rival the beauty standing among its blooms.

The beauty was clad in a rose-red slim palace gown, with a waist as slender as a willow, her hair like clouds, a slender figure, each move exuded an enchanting allure capable of captivating cities.

When the Wild Ambition Commander returned alone and in such a sorry state, the beauty was not much surprised.

”Reporting to the Nether Empress, this subordinate failed in my duties, I wasn’t able to bring back Lord Jiuwei, please punish me, Empress.”

Kneeling before the beauty, the Wild Ambition Commander was tense all over, more nervous than when facing Yan Jiu, as if the beauty before him was a great danger.

”Rise. So many years have passed, Old Jiu’s temper is still so bad. He’s probably still blaming me for causing the Demon Ancestor’s death back then.”

The beauty’s lips parted slightly, her voice like the tinkling of spring water, very pleasing to the ear.

The Wild Ambition Commander breathed a sigh of relief as he stood, yet his back remained bent, not daring to raise his head to look at the beauty.

”Nether Empress, before leaving, Lord Jiuwei said something, mentioning Heavenly Dao Reincarnation...” The Wild Ambition Commander dared not continue the latter half of the sentence.

”Oh, did he really say that? So be it, there’s nothing more for you to do here.”

The beauty waved her hand dismissively.

The Wild Ambition Commander, relieved, hastily turned to leave.

But just as he was about to move, he discovered that his ankle was somehow entangled by a Moonflower vine.

On this vine was a budding moonflower, the glossy vine climbing rapidly, like a snake.

”Spare me, Nether Empress, I have failed in my duties, please forgive me!”

The Wild Ambition Commander was terrified, but the beauty stood there, still with a charming smile.

The flower vine, as if fueled by fire, sprouted numerous sharp thorns, piercing the skin of the Wild Ambition Commander, absorbing his essence blood and demonic power.

In merely an instant, the Wild Ambition Commander’s body was covered by the vine.

His twisted face was covered in blood, finally shredded to pieces.

Blood flowed into the cluster of moonflowers, and upon a closer look, one would find no soil beneath these moonflowers.

The entirety of Lingxiu Palace’s moonflowers was actually cultivated with flesh and demonic power.

The demon maids waiting on the side, seeing the Wild Ambition Commander consumed, skillfully stepped forward to wash the floor with spring water and burned his clothes to ashes.

A gust of wind carried away the thick floral scent, masking the strong smell of blood on the Wild Ambition Commander.

The Nether Empress Xiyan plucked a moonflower and sniffed it beneath her nose.

Her exquisite face revealed traces of bloodthirst.

”Demon Ancestor, this time, do not disappoint me again.”

As the Wild Ambition Commander entered Lingxiu Palace, a middle-aged man hurried to the gate of South Nether City.

The man’s face was full of terror, his steps hurried. On closer inspection, it was the eldest of the three demons who earlier devoured Wu Zhong, Moonflower King.

Unlike the exuberance when he first acquired the Moonflower King, he now looked dispirited.

During the Demon Awakening Gate incident, his two brothers were slain, and he narrowly escaped death at the hands of Zitang Su.

Fortunately, in the end, when the Doomsday Demon Sun descended, the Three Sects united to seal both the Yaoyang and the Demon Ancestor; during the sealing, he blended into the Demon Beast Torrent, and together they were sealed back into the Demon Awakening Gate.

He thought returning to the Demon World would bring temporary safety.

But little did he know, soon after, one of the ten Demon God Guards, Yan Jiu, appeared in the Demon World with overwhelming might.

Yan Jiu slaughtered demons all along the way, causing panic among the Demon Clan.

And those he killed, without exception, were demons who had once devoured the Demon Ancestor’s power.

If Yan Jiu learned that not only did he devour the Demon Ancestor’s heart, but also took the Moonflower King, he would surely face death.

For ten days, the eldest of the three demons hid everywhere and finally, unable to bear it any longer, resolved to seek refuge with the South Nether Emperor, because he had heard that the master of South Nether City was involved in the Demon Ancestor’s death years ago.

”Sir, I am Jiao Song, seeking an audience with the South Nether Emperor.”

The Three Demons’ Boss stopped a Demon Guard, pleading urgently.
