Chapter 671 Empty
Qiongqi suddenly remembered something, and his eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, the void is not actually empty. There is a strange beast that lives in the void."
"Void Beast?"
The Demon Emperor leaned back on his throne, his brows furrowed slightly. "They come and go without a trace, never obeying the Demon Emperor's orders. Let alone recruiting them, even finding their whereabouts is not easy."
Void Beasts are also ancient mythical beasts, born in special environments such as void turbulence and chaotic boundaries. Their bodies can switch between physical and ethereal forms, and they are born with the ability to tear and traverse the void.
Although successive demon emperors have wanted to bring this powerful and mysterious beast under their control, they have always lived in the void and have no way to control it.
Shadowstalker suggested, "The true form of the Taixu Sword is Void Meteorite Iron. If we tell the Void Beast this..."
Isn't this kind of treasure with spatial properties exactly the food that Void Beasts love the most?
The Demon King was overjoyed and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, brilliant plan, brilliant plan!"
So he raised his hand and formed a seal. Thick black demonic mist surged from his palm, and a magnificent jade seal slowly emerged. It was the Demon-Suppressing Jade Seal that governed all demons.
The jade seal is entirely dark green, square and heavy, about half a person's height. The four sides are carved with images of a hundred demons paying homage to the emperor. All kinds of ancient demons bow their heads. The seal is densely wrapped with dark gold patterns formed by demonic energy over ten thousand years. As it flows, it seems that the phantoms of ten thousand demons are rising and falling and roaring.
The seal was inscribed with the four large characters "Ten Thousand Demons Submit," written in ancient demonic script. The strokes were ancient and gnarled, and there was the divine imprint of the demon god within them. As soon as it appeared, its supreme pressure caused Qiongqi and Yingzhe present to go weak in the knees and kneel down with a "thump," trembling.
The Demon Emperor placed his five fingers on the jade seal, and as his lips parted, ancient demonic words, deep and resonant like a bell, shook the entire hall.
"The Demon-Suppressing Jade Seal summons all demons; descendants of the void, come swiftly by imperial decree!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the jade seal hummed loudly, and the inscription "Ten Thousand Demons Submit" rose into the air, transforming into a ten-foot-long dark golden demon seal that directly tore through the void and disappeared in an instant.
This summons, traversing the void and chaos, carries immense demonic power, reaching the very edge of the void, intending to bring this spatial beast to the world.
From the depths of the pitch-black void, a low, humming sound, neither beast nor beast, echoed. The sound seemed untouched by the world and carried a hint of doubt.
Who is it? Who is summoning him?
After the summoning runes disappeared into the void, the Demon Emperor, Qiongqi, and Yingzhe all stared intently at that space.
Is the Void Beast still alive?
Will they answer the call?
After a while, a deep humming sound seemed to rise from the horizon, growing closer and closer, shaking everyone's souls and even causing fine cracks to appear on the gold bricks beneath their feet.
The Demon Emperor was overjoyed, and the Void Beasts came as summoned!
The void seemed to have been torn open by something, and as the crack grew larger, a phantom that blotted out the sky slowly took shape before their eyes.
The phantom was a cloud of black mist, its form boundless, covering most of the Demon Emperor's Palace, making its specific shape unclear.
Wherever the phantom appeared, the light was distorted into an arc, and even the surrounding spiritual energy was completely devoured, forming a vacuum around him. The overwhelming pressure of the void made Qiongqi and Yingzhe tremble, and even the Demon Emperor couldn't help but feel fear.
Who—is—calling—me?
The phantom hummed, carrying a deep echo, suggesting that the Void Beast's true form was still in the distant void.
The Demon Emperor composed himself and said gently, "So you are the Void Beast? I am the Emperor of the Demon Race, and it was I who summoned you."
"Why are you calling me—Kong—Kong—Come—Over—For—them—?"
Although the buzzing sound carried a heavy, imposing pressure, the tone of voice was surprisingly immature.
The Demon Emperor raised an eyebrow in surprise. It was actually a young beast?
The little brat is the easiest to fool.
He smiled warmly and gently. "Your name is Kongkong? I summoned you here because I need your help with something..."
Qiongqi returned to report to the Demon Emperor. Neither the Snow Wolf King nor the Black Bear King dared to leave the Mist Spirit Valley, waiting anxiously for the Demon Emperor's punishment.
They also detained several members of the Qilin clan.
Upon hearing the news, the Qilin clan chief, along with the Phoenix, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird clan chiefs, immediately rushed to the scene, demanding the immediate release of the Qilin clan members.
The Snow Wolf King snorted, "Perfect timing! Your clans have been in close contact with Her Highness the Demon Queen recently, making you the prime suspects!"
The Qilin clan chief roared, "It's clearly your fault for failing to guard him properly! You, with your twenty thousand demon soldiers, managed to lose His Highness. What can we, a mere few, possibly do?"
Suddenly, the Black Bear King remembered something, and his fierce gaze locked onto the White Tiger Clan Chief. "White Tiger Demon King, I heard that yesterday one of your clan's young men brought out several koi fish from the valley. Is that true?"
The White Tiger Clan Chief glared at them: "So what if it is? Didn't you check those koi fish too? They're just ordinary fish!"
The Snow Wolf King's eyes narrowed: "Is this really true?"
His suspicious gaze was fixed on the White Tiger Clan Chief. "Where did the koi come from?"
The White Tiger Clan Chief said matter-of-factly, "They were a gift from Her Highness the Demon Queen! Those koi fish are Her Highness's beloved possessions. Her Highness is about to enter the Demon Queen's palace and will have no time to take care of them, so she entrusted my Fourth Prince to look after them."
The Snow Wolf King sensed something was amiss and said, "Where's the koi? Bring it here so I can take a look."
The White Tiger Clan Chief smiled and turned to his attendant, saying, "Bring it here!"
An attendant approached carrying a celadon fishbowl.
The Snow Wolf King took it and examined it closely. It was an exquisite little fish tank containing several red and white koi carp, swimming happily inside, with nothing particularly special about it.
He naturally couldn't see anything special about it, because it was just an ordinary fish tank, and the koi were just ordinary koi.
After learning that Jiang Li had escaped, the White Tiger Clan Chief, in order to clear Si Lang of suspicion, immediately had an identical celadon fish tank made and found several red and white koi to keep in it, just in case.
King Xuanxiong summoned the demon soldiers who had been guarding the valley entrance the day before and asked if the fish tank was the one that Baihu Langjun had taken out.
How could the demon soldiers remember so much?
Feeling vaguely that they seemed to be the same, I nodded haphazardly and said, "They are indeed the same one."
The Snow Wolf King snorted: "How do you know if you've switched them?"
The White Tiger Demon King shrugged: "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
The Phoenix Clan Chief also said coldly, "If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext."
The Snow Wolf King and the Black Bear King had no choice but to insist on waiting for the Demon Emperor's decree before they could release the people.
Soon after, the Tengshe Demon King came to deliver an imperial decree: the Demon Emperor had ordered the arrest of True Monarch Chonghua of the Sword Sect. Anyone who could capture him alive would be appointed as the National Preceptor of the Demon Clan; those who provided clues would also be richly rewarded!
Everyone was shocked. How could the Demon Emperor be so quick to determine that it was True Monarch Chonghua who had abducted the Demon Queen?
The White Tiger Clan Chief and the other Divine Beast Clan Chiefs exchanged a glance, both deeply shocked. Fairy Jiang's husband had truly arrived!
This renowned genius of the Sword Sect lived up to his reputation, managing to break through numerous blockades and sneak into the Demon Realm without anyone noticing, taking away Fairy Jiang!
