“Commander Hei Ze, listen up!”
[Mia Rao] held the Black Phoenix Token and gave orders expressionlessly.
“Your Majesty!”
A moment later, a burly succubus warrior covered in carved black patterns walked out of the kneeling guards.
“The Zombie Realm is in chaos. From today onwards, seal off the Succubus Mountain. Without my orders, no one is to enter!”
[Mia Rao] stared at Hei Ze with burning eyes. “If you dare to disobey orders, you shall be punished according to the clan rules!”
“…”
Hearing this, Commander Hei Ze trembled.
She glanced at Lin Ye and the others from the corner of her eye and opened heer mouth slightly.
The Zombie G.o.d Realm was in chaos?
Although she did not know what had happened, looking at her Empress’s posture, she inexplicably felt a sense of crisis.
However, before she could speak, it was suppressed by [Mei Rao’s] sharp gaze.
After hesitating for a moment, it could only kneel down and accept the Black Phoenix Token. It smiled bitterly and said, “Yes, I understand.”
“Very well. Go and seal the mountain. I will explain to the ancestor myself.”
With that, [Mia Rao] could not be bothered with them. She turned around and walked towards Lin Ye’s side. Her beautiful face was filled with a smile as she said gently, “Master, as long as the realm of the Succubus Mountain is sealed, this place is almost safe. Let’s go to my chamber first.”
‘Sounds good. Whatever you say.’ Lin nodded.
In the next moment, under the shocked, envious, and jealous gazes of many Succubus warriors,
[Mia Rao] took the initiative to hold Lin Ye’s arm and led the Lin clan to the Charm Palace, the palace that belonged to the Empress.
…
After they left, the whole of Succubus Hill went completely nuts.
Countless news spread like b.u.t.terflies through the mountains. The news was explosive.
The succubi who had been trapped in the forest all year round were shocked for hundreds of years.
“What the h.e.l.l? The Empress didn’t obey the Patriarch’s decree and sneaked out of the Sutra Pavilion?”
“That’s not the point, all right. The point is that the Empress just went out and came back, and secretly brought back a human man!! The kind that’s very intimate!”
“Bulls.h.i.t. What do you mean sneaking around? They did it openly. My cousin’s in the patrol team. He saw everything.”
“What kind of background does that human have to be able to move our cold and peerless empress?”
“Tsk, humans are just a little pale and flowery. They’re still far inferior to us succubi!”
“Don’t be jealous. There’s something else. Something big seems to have happened in the Zombie Divine Realm.”
“Ah, this… will it affect us?”
“Some people say that the unrest is related to the humans the Empress brought back. After all, the new season has already begun, and the humans and h.e.l.l are irreconcilable…”
“Who cares? If it’s true, then it’s beautiful. The Zombie Divine Realm has never treated our Succubus Race as their companions all these years. They’ve killed so many of our clansmen in the open and in the dark. I really want to muster up my courage and fight them! F*ck, that’s a.s.suming I can defeat those b*stards. Boohoo!”
“We’re going to die. Be careful what you say!”
…
Meanwhile, in the Succubus ancestral mountain area.
On the highest mountain peak, there was an ancient, old, but vast hall.
On both sides of the door were black and white succubus G.o.ds.
The middle aisle was made of an unknown gray stone slab that was almost dry and cracked. It inexplicably flashed with strange Dao runes.
Pa.s.sing through the hall, the garden, and the corridor, the place suddenly brightened.
What greeted one’s eyes were the three golden words, Zuling Hall.
Inside were densely packed spirit tablets.
This was the mourning hall for the ancestors of the Succubus Race. It was also the only place where the remaining Grand Elders went into seclusion.
Tap-tap-tap…
A moment later there was a rush of footsteps.
“Ancestor, something bad has happened!”
The newcomer wailed and screamed as he ran over.
Perhaps she was too agitated, but when she reached the gray-robed figure, her feet went limp and he fell.
Buzz—
On the futon in the hall, a hunched figure wrapped in a gray robe looked up slightly. Two black flames lit up inside her dark hat.
A dignified and stern voice sounded, “[Windless], how dare you? Don’t make any noise in the ancestral hall. This is the ancestral rule. After this, go to the Punishment Hall to receive your punishment!”
“No, Ancestor, I’ve just been punished. If I continue, I’ll be beaten to death.” [Windless]’s face was pale. He was afraid that his ancestor would not believe him. He even lifted the black armor on his b.u.t.t, revealing his b.l.o.o.d.y flesh.
“The Demon Spirit was the one who whipped me!”
The black fire in the Patriarch’s eyes flickered. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Was it Rao’er who gave the order?”
In the Succubus Mountain, there was only one person in the younger generation who was qualified to fight the descendants of the royal family, [Windless].
“Yes.”
[Windless] nodded submissively.
He did not exaggerate. In front of the Old Ancestor, all that nonsense was useless.
The Old Ancestor only looked at the results.
Just like how she had determined that [Mia Rao] was talented and would be the hope for the rise of the succubi.
That was why she had pushed her to the top.
However, ever since [Mia Rao] crippled her cultivation and switched to the more powerful Black Water Dao Sutra with no success.
The situation turned.
The person who suppressed [Mi Rao] and even wanted to overthrow this new empress was also the patriarch in front of him.
It was precisely because of this information that she dared to target [Mia Rao] in order to curry favor with the patriarch.
One day, he might have the chance to ascend to that position filled with supreme glory.
“Very good. Although her cultivation is crippled, she hasn’t lost her backbone.” The patriarch nodded in satisfaction.
“???”
Upon hearing this, [Windless] was dumbfounded.
‘b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l, you lot are playing monkeys, aren’t you?’
‘Who hinted me to put pressure on the Empress?’
‘Who hinted me to push for the position?’
‘After all this, it feels like none of you treated me as a human. Should I come out and resist?’
After some thought, Wufeng could not help but say, “Patriarch, His Majesty brought back a man, a human man!”
“Human?”
“All of you are really good. Each of you is more daring than the other. Now, she even dares to befriend humans!”
“Does she know that if she’s not careful, our race will be in danger of being wiped out!!”
The Old Ancestor gritted his teeth, and the black flames in his eyes flickered.
Crash—
Strong winds blew all around, shaking the ground.
The doors in the hall shook wildly.
Deep in the hall, countless ghostly flames flickered.
It was as if dozens of pairs of eyes of death were staring at his back. For some reason, he felt a chill run down his spine.
“Sister, calm down. The situation isn’t that serious!”
A moment later, gentle pink energy came from the s.p.a.ce and easily resolved the turmoil in the hall.
As soon as she finished speaking, a figure in a gray robe with strange flames in her eyes flew out from a stone coffin behind the Ancestral Temple.
“Greetings, Second Ancestor!”
[Windless] looked down when she saw the newcomer.
Others might not recognize this person but she did.
Logically speaking, her lineage dated back 30 generations, and her direct ancestor was this second ancestor in front of her.
Even from afar, the pressure and familiarity deep in his bloodline clearly explained the other party’s ident.i.ty.
“Get up.”
Second Ancestor nodded gently and turned to his eldest sister.
“I hope I’m worrying too much.”
The patriarch sighed softly and changed the topic. He continued, “It’s good that you’re awake. Accompany me to see Rao’er. At the same time, we can also see who that fellow from the Human Race is. He actually dares to target my Succubus Empress.”
“Yes, I’ll listen to you.”
Second Ancestor smiled.
Before leaving, she formed a mysterious seal with her fingertips and pointed a dark green jade token at the void.
The surface of the jade talisman was engraved with a void spell. With a flash, it disappeared into the void.
