Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1769: Chapter 142 My Family’s Old Ancestor’s Unmatched Magnanimity (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_3

“Yes, yes, yes, I’ll do as you say.” The Third Prince Shentu Jingming nodded repeatedly, then mysteriously asked, “Do you know what relic this jade pendant is the key to open?”

Wang Longyan remained indifferent and silent.

“I just admire your ice-cold demeanor, Ruobing, unaffected by power and wealth.” The Third Prince gazed at Wang Longyan with infatuation, his tone slightly smug, “The relic corresponding to this jade pendant, according to my research, should be related to the Demonic Plant Honored One, one of the Ten Great Heroes of the Divine Martial Era. She was a True Immortal Realm expert; naturally, the relic she left behind is a True Immortal Ruins. Perhaps it even contains the Immortal Scripture and Immortal Artifacts.”

“?”

Wang Longyan’s expression remained cold, yet there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Does this Third Prince have a problem with his brain? Holding a True Immortal Ruins, he’s actually sharing the information casually with a stranger?

However, more than this, another thing also puzzled her: “The Ten Great Heroes? Do you mean the ten most wanted criminals of the Divine Martial Era?”

“Ruobing, watch your words!” The Third Prince’s expression changed, “Such talk is fine in remote small countries, but not here. You must refer to them as the Ten Great Heroes. Ruobing, you might not know this coming from a small place, but our Shentu Clan’s Old Ancestor was the Red Lotus Honorable, one of the Ten Great Heroes!”

“If someone hears what you just said, it would be disastrous. Not everyone in the Shentu Clan is as easygoing as I am.”

Wang Longyan was momentarily speechless.

She never would have thought that the Demonic Emperor Lineage was actually descended from one of the ten most wanted criminals.

“Anyway, this Prince is attempting to open this True Immortal Ruins and sincerely invites Miss Ruobing to join. What do you think?” The Third Prince said expectantly.

“I need to consider this matter.” Wang Longyan mused briefly.

If it were something else, she wouldn’t be interested, but when it comes to a True Immortal Ruins, it’s worth considering. However, to be cautious, she must first figure out what this Third Prince is up to.

After all, no matter how she looks at this kid, he seems a bit abnormal…

“Alright, alright, anyway, there’s nothing urgent, Ruobing, take as many days as you need to consider.” The Third Prince was overjoyed, so excited he felt like he was floating.

He knew it; no Profound Martial cultivator can resist the allure of a True Immortal Ruins!

…

Meanwhile.

The Crimson Moon Devil Court, Demonic Emperor Palace.

The vast Demonic Emperor Palace sits atop a plateau, seemingly cast from gold and iron, towering impressively with majestic grandeur.

Its area is so large that it might be more accurate to call it a city rather than a palace.

Compared to the Immortal Court suspended high in the sky like the jade palaces of the Immortal Palace, the ground-based Demonic Emperor Palace lacks a few traces of celestial aura but exudes a more robust and domineering spirit.

It feels as if it had merged with the earth beneath, breathing and advancing together.

Deep in the Demonic Emperor Palace, near the eastern side, there’s a hall named Haotian Palace.

This is where the Red Hell Demon Emperor usually handles governmental affairs, functioning similar to a study. But since the Demon Emperor often summons ministers here for discussions, it also serves the purpose of a Small Morning Meeting.

At this moment.

Inside Haotian Hall.

Due to the long history of the Demonic Emperor Palace’s construction, Haotian Hall is one of the oldest halls built based on the aesthetics from the early days of the Demonic Dynasty. The design isn’t very reasonable, and the lighting isn’t good, so even in daylight, the hall remains quite dim.

To improve this, the eunuchs from the internal affairs department of the Demonic Emperor Palace have hung a grand chandelier made of carved and inlaid red Fire Crystals from the crossbeam in the center of the inner hall.

At this moment, the grand chandelier was emitting a bright light, illuminating the entire inner hall.

However, no matter how bright the light was, the atmosphere in the inner hall remained extremely oppressive and heavy.

In the center of the inner hall.

Two impressive young men stood silently with their heads bowed, not daring to speak.

The two looked alike, both strikingly handsome as if sculpted with knives and chisels, except one wore a black and red robe, while the other wore a dark red robe.

The one in the black and red robe appeared slightly older and more stable, while the one in the dark red robe seemed slightly younger and more vivacious.

But regardless of which, both exuded a fierce and majestic aura, evidently both were strong in the Divine Power Territory.

These two were the most outstanding princes of the current Crimson Moon Demon Dynasty, the First Prince Shentu Yuanzheng and the Second Prince Shentu Kaixuan.

Compared to the slippery Third Prince Shentu Jingming, who always found excuses not to return, these two could be considered “straightforward.” The moment they heard the Old Ancestor’s summons, they rushed back promptly.

The Red Hell Demon Emperor, who had recently returned humiliated, was now standing some distance in front of the two, angrily scolding, “Shentu Yuanzheng, I ordered you to pacify the rebellion in the Northern Barbarian Tribe, and after fighting for thirty years, you still haven’t achieved full success. How do you plan to explain this to me?”

“This…” The First Prince Shentu Yuanzheng pitifully defended himself, “The Northern Barbarian Tribe has always been unpredictable, taking advantage of favorable conditions. Didn’t you, Old Ancestor, previously instruct me to focus on training troops and not to rush to claim merits…”

“Ridiculous! I told you to train troops, not train for so long!” The Red Hell Demon Emperor, enraged, “Look at Wang Fugui from the Immortal Dynasty, he was only fourteen, fourteen years old, and achieved unprecedented feats! At your age, you’ve lived your life like a dog! I order you to quell the barbarian rebellion within three years.”
