Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1444: Chapter 504: The Most Unpredictable Is the Human Heart

After the Demon Ancestor fell that year, his Four Great Demon Kings and the Ten Great Demons split apart.

The Ten Great Demons either died or disappeared, and as for the Four Great Demon Kings, they were re-divided and became what is today known as the Six Great Demon Kings.

Among them, two demon kings, Demon King Tongtian and Golden Horn Demon King, guard the Central Plains, pledging loyalty to the Beiyu Emperor and South Nether Emperor respectively.

The tribe of King Tongtian has lived in the core area of the Central Plains since ancient times, with a hidden demon road in the tribe, a crucial location; he was also a minister during the youth of Empress Dowager Chi, so she values his birthday celebration highly this time.

”Mother, are you worried that the Human Clan’s Wild Hunt will affect the demon king’s birthday celebration?”

Chi Ye frowned; his impression of the Tongtian Tribe was not very favorable.

Moreover, the power of Demon King Tongtian is equivalent to a Peak Great Divine Power Realm level of the Human Clan.

According to the agreement between the Human Clan and Demon Clan from many years ago, only those below the Great Divine Power Realm can participate in the Jiu Provinces Hunting, and even though there are many demon hunters attending this time, they pose no significant threat.

Unless a Human Clan Small Divine Power Realm expert happens to break through in the Central Plains, but the chances of that are extremely slim; even if they break through, they might not be worthy opponents of King Tongtian.

”If it’s merely a trivial human strong one, it would not endanger your uncle. But this time the Golden Horn Demon King will also attend the celebration. You know, the two demon kings have always been arch-enemies, utterly incompatible. Furthermore, it’s no secret that Golden Horn has long coveted the Tongtian Tribe. There’s no guarantee he won’t stir up trouble under the guise of this opportunity. Back then, when your father had just died and I was left alone with you, thankfully your uncle Tongtian and some of the old ministers from inland supported you to ascend to the throne.”

While speaking, Empress Dowager Chi discreetly moistened her fingertip with saliva, dabbed the corner of her eye, and her eyes immediately turned wet, posing her face to look as if she was about to cry.

Chi Ye frowned deeply; Empress Dowager Chi’s acting skills were highly proficient; seeing her shed tears, they were definitely akin to crocodile tears.

But on second thought, if indeed something were to happen to the Tongtian Tribe, resulting in the demon road of Beiyu Palace being seized by South Nether City, it would certainly affect the power division of the Demon World; just taking a trip until after the birthday celebration of Demon King Tongtian, he could then return to Beiyu Palace.

Chi Ye immediately agreed to go, choosing a day to head to the Central Plains.

”I’m going to see Chi Chi; Mother, also one more thing, please don’t randomly arrange marriages for me in the future.”

Before leaving, Chi Ye couldn’t help but remind her a few more times before he straight up left.

Once Chi Ye left, Empress Dowager Chi stuck her tongue out.

”That little brat, got you fooled this time, didn’t I? Haha, that old man Tongtian has always wanted you to be his son-in-law; this time, when you reach the Tongtian Tribe, and if a marriage magically solidifies, very soon I could upgrade to being a Grandma.”

Thinking of a foreseeable future with a bunch of grandchildren surrounding her, Empress Dowager Chi let out a series of chilling witchful laughs.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Chi heard some noise.

Looking back, she saw Little Jiu Nian walk in.

Chi Ye, having gone to see his precious sister, promptly chased Little Jiu Nian out.

Little Jiu Nian had already freshened up, returning to his past fair and tender appearance, making Empress Dowager Chi beam with joy.

”Dear disciple, why did you come? Are you comfortable with the accommodation and food at the Demon Hall?”

Jiu Nian charmed Empress Dowager Chi’s favor, and the two of them chatted about family matters.

Little Jiu Nian disclosed his background and the matter of his mother being deserted by his father to Empress Dowager Chi.

Listening, Empress Dowager Chi’s eyes reddened again.

”Despite all being mother’s children, why is someone else’s child so sensible while the disobedient son does nothing but infuriate me? This child is really a good kid. What a pity, the matter regarding Yan Jiu can’t be revealed to him right now.”

The Empress Dowager Chi thought to herself.

Any child, upon knowing their real father was sealed into a stone tablet, suppressed beneath a mountain, would find it unbearable.

The whole family of Empress Dowager Chi reached a consensus regarding this issue; they’ve all decided unless one day Little Jiu Nian attains the cultivation of a Sky Demon, they will not disclose the truth to him.

”Master, I have a request; I’ve been away from home for so long, may I write a letter home to inform them I’m safe?”

Little Jiu Nian plucked up the courage to ask.

”Are you referring to writing a letter to your mother in Ancient Nine Provinces? That won’t work; the furthest correspondence from the Demon World reaches is the Ancient Nine Provinces. If you have relatives in the Ancient Nine Provinces, I could arrange for it to be sent there.”

Seeing Little Jiu Nian with a hopeful look, and considering how he left home at such a young age, Empress Dowager Chi couldn’t bear to refuse.

”I have relatives in Ancient Nine Provinces; my godmother Ye Lingyue is there, I’ll write to her.”

Little Jiu Nian pondered deeply and remembered his godmother.

Upon his request, Empress Dowager Chi had no choice but to comply and find a way to send the letter to Ye Lingyue.

Meanwhile, as Chi Ye decided to head to the Tongtian Tribe, the South Nether Empress and Emperor had sent their secret message to Beiyu Palace, choosing to wait calmly for Beiyu Palace’s response.

However, after two or three days, there was no news from Beiyu Palace.

Beiyu Palace’s Chi Prison Army showed no intention of deploying on a large scale.

”That old fox Empress Dowager Chi didn’t fall for it.”

Queen Xiyuan voiced her frustration.

”Mother and son of Beiyu have always been exceedingly cautious; without confirmation of the demise of Marquis Zhongyuan, they won’t recklessly send out troops and break ties with the Human Clan.”

Zhan Hen was not surprised by this news.

”So what should we do? Should we just watch the Central Plains being trampled by the Human Clan? Keep in mind, those going into the Central Plains this time include not only Human Clan Small Divine Power Realm experts but also Divine Master Xi Jiuye blended in.”

After planting Hong Mingyue as a spy, Queen Xiyuan was well-informed of the Human Clan’s movements.

”Xiyuan, are you truly certain that it’s the Northern Territory’s Divine Master? Why has he come to Human Realm?”

Zhan Hen was somewhat skeptical.

”That remains unknown; Xi Jiuye is highly cautious, and my people are still unable to earn his complete trust. But their goal is likely not merely the Wild Hunt, but the Taixu Tomb Realm. Have you found out anything about the Taixu Tomb Realm I asked you to investigate?”

Upon learning from Hong Mingyue that there might be a divine seal in the Taixu Tomb Realm, Queen Xiyuan became quite interested.

To the Human Clan, a divine seal allows ascension to becoming a God.

For the Demon Clan, the divine seal also holds significant importance.

The role of the divine seal is extraordinary; if it fell into the hands of a Human Clan Great Power, it would undoubtedly pose a significant threat.

The South Nether Empress and Emperor both refuse to see the divine seal fall into Human Clan’s hands; they would rather destroy the divine seal instead.

So this time, the South Nether Empress is dedicated to finding the Taixu Tomb Realm before the Human Clan and destroying the divine seal within.
