Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 289: Chapter 288: Illegitimate Daughter

“The Three Great Legions, have they all rebelled?” Su Han looked up towards the distance.

He faintly remembered the difficulty in establishing the Three Great Legions, and the difficulty of founding the God-Slaying Pavilion.

Now, all of that had become a thing of the past.

It was unclear what kind of emotion he was feeling at the moment.

Loss? Disappointment? Anger?

No, Su Han felt none of these.

...

Even when he, as the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor, of supreme status, was reborn in the Dragon Martial Continent, with all his cultivation base dissipated, he had never felt disappointment.

If he had to say there was anything, perhaps the only thing he hated was himself.

“Not just the Three Great Legions.”

Long Lie went on, “Of the God-Slaying Pavilion’s Seven Great Divine Kings, aside from the Ming Sea Divine King, the Spiritual King, and the Starry God King, the other four Divine Kings, have also rebelled.”

“Hmm.” Su Han nodded.

At this moment, all he could do was accept everything.

“After their rebellion, the Ming Sea Divine King, the Spiritual King, and the Starry God King were extremely angry, and they couldn’t help but take action.”

“And the result is… they all died, is that it?”

Su Han’s gaze flickered, and vaguely, he saw three figures.

“The Ming Sea Divine King and the Starry God King died, the Spiritual King disappeared, some say he was captured and imprisoned by Yuan Ling, others say he fled the Holy Domain after being gravely injured.”

Long Lie said, “At that time, the Holy Domain was truly chaotic. The Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons and the Sun Sword God had both intervened. But who could have imagined that Yuan Ling was so powerful? His actual cultivation base had reached the Sovereign Realm, enduring as long as heaven and earth, comparable to the sun and moon. With his power alone… he directly killed the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons and the Sun Sword God.”

“What about the Long Family?” Su Han suddenly asked.

He knew the Long Family would definitely intervene; he was just asking about the outcome.

“Twenty-eight from the Long Family died, and they have already left the Holy Domain,” Long Lie said calmly.

“Left the Holy Domain, have they?” Su Han let out a sigh.

The Long Family took root in the Holy Domain, and since the appearance of the Long Family, it was in the Holy Domain. Only the power of the Holy Domain could enable the Long Family to thrive.

Once they left the Holy Domain, the people of the Long Family, unable to absorb the power of the Holy Domain, despite having high cultivation bases, would gradually decline until eventually, they would become ordinary people, no longer as glorious as before.

Long Lie spoke calmly, but in reality, for the Long Family, leaving the Holy Domain was absolutely a devastating blow.

“Yuan Ling’s betrayal not only shook the Holy Domain but caused the entire Star Region to tremble. All the forces once controlled by the God-Slaying Pavilion, those who rebelled, rebelled, and those who left, separated. Yuan Ling’s methods were ruthless; those who did not submit were immediately exterminated, with no mercy shown, even to newborn infants,” Long Lie said, his voice somewhat hoarse.

“However, the Holy Domain is too vast, as is the Star Region. When you were still in power, you controlled many forces. It’s impossible for Yuan Ling to suppress everything in a short time. According to my investigation, although some forces appear to have rebelled on the surface, they actually remain loyal to the original Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor. They will immediately follow you again the day you return.”

“A wise man submits to circumstances. Even if they have really rebelled, I don’t blame them because this is their chance to survive, like the Polar Demon Domain,” Su Han said.

“The Polar Demon Domain?”

Long Lie’s voice suddenly turned cold, “The Polar Demon Domain, unlike those forces I mentioned.”

“I know.”

Su Han nodded, “I have roughly understood the situation in the Holy Domain. Now, what you need to do is to keep as low a profile as possible. With the strength of the Sovereign Realm, you cannot compete. Even if there’s a towering rage in your hearts, you must endure it for me, you understand?”

“But…”

“There are no buts.”

Su Han looked at Long Lie, “If you want to do something, you must first be alive. I know you can’t stand it and feel indignant for me, but what’s the use of that? I can tell you, just by himself, Yuan Ling can suppress the entire Holy Domain.”

Long Lie clenched his teeth, but he also believed what Su Han said because Su Han had once been in the Sovereign Realm.

“It’s actually this little girl,”

Su Han suddenly looked at Xiang’er, calmed his emotions, and smiled, “She’s actually the daughter of the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons? How come I didn’t know the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons had a daughter like her?”

“Il, illegitimate daughter,” Long Lie said somewhat awkwardly.

“Illegitimate daughter?”

Su Han’s eyes sparkled, “That old guy, quite the charmer indeed.”

While they were saying this, they were communicating through transmission, so Xiang’er couldn’t hear it at all.

“Well, we can’t really call it charming. After the death of the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons’ first wife, he didn’t look for anyone for thousands of years. Even Xiang’er doesn’t seem to be someone he wanted,” Long Lie said.

“What do you mean?” Su Han was taken aback.

Long Lie smiled, “Do you know who Xiang’er’s mother is?”

“Who?”

“Destruction Empress, the ruler of Destruction Ancient Nation from the Lower-Class Star Region, Eastern Heaven Realm,” Long Lie winked.

“That woman?!”

Su Han shivered involuntarily, a vision of a supremely enchanting figure appeared in his mind.

Destruction Empress, the ruler of Destruction Ancient Nation. Some even say she is the ruler of the Eastern Heaven Realm and even the Lower-Class Star Region.

Even in his past life, Su Han hadn’t lived as long as the Destruction Empress. From the time Su Han entered the Lower-Class Star Region, the Destruction Empress was already there and had already established the Destruction Ancient Nation.

Nobody knows the true strength of the Destruction Empress.

At that time, Su Han also thought that the Destruction Empress was nothing more than a powerful person from an ancient nation within the Lower-Class Star Region. But as time passed and his cultivation base increased, Su Han increasingly felt that the Destruction Empress was not that simple.

What made Su Han shiver was not just the power of the Destruction Empress but her character.

The name of the Destruction Empress wasn’t unfounded—the simplest way to describe it was—destroy what cannot be obtained.

What she wanted, she could definitely get it. If she couldn’t, then nobody else could have it either.

That’s one of the three great truths of the Lower-Class Star Region.

Nobody wanted to compete with the Destruction Empress. As soon as she showed up, they would immediately yield the item to her, because everyone knew that competing with the Destruction Empress was like a blind man lighting a lamp—waste of effort.

“Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons… How did he get involved with the Destruction Empress?” Su Han asked.

“Who knows.”

Long Lie curled his lips, looking at Xiang’er with a gaze full of indulgence and admiration.

“Just so you know, Xiang’er is mine. Her being by your side is just my way of protecting her, so don’t get any other ideas.”

Su Han: “…”
