Chapter 636: It was Ling Chuxi Who Was the Greatest Support
However, since things were already like this, fearfully the next few days wouldn’t be as relaxing because they would be beaten when they returned!
Xiao Rou pitifully hesitated, pacing here and there, about to be tangled to death by his own thoughts.
“Stop thinking already. If you keep thinking, there won’t even be a chance for us anymore!” said Big Black Face as he grabbed Xiao Rou and rushed them both through the gate once he saw that it was slowly disappearing. Their young master had the bloodline of the demon emperor so he could still forcefully open the array core. But they only had the bloodline of the demon king which wasn’t even awakened yet. How would they be able to do the same? After this window of opportunity closed, there wouldn’t be another.
“Then, in the future when we return and Lord Demon Emperor investigates this matter, what are we to do?” Xiao Rou asked uneasily.
“Isn’t that simple? I’ll just say that you dragged me out. Wouldn’t that be fine? I am so honest that no one would doubt I was lying,” replied Big Black Face, looking very honest, extremely honest indeed! As he was spoke, he dragged Xiao Rou along and directly walked over to the arched gate. He was strong. How could Xiao Rou be his match? Just like that Xiao Rou was dragged over to the gate.
“Gah! Help! Let me go! I want to go back!” yelled a stunned Xiao Rou hysterically with his mouth opened so wide that one could stuff a few big Ya Pears into it.
It was too bad that it was too late. Just as they pa.s.sed through the arched gate with a flash of brilliance, it disappeared.
“Lord Sacred Emperor, isn’t the promise that was made just now a little too heavy?” asked a guard cautiously in another part of Little Silver Ancient Mountain. He was naturally referring to the promise the demon emperor made to Huangfu Qingjue.
Ten thousand years ago, the monster beast clan was able to contend against all the various great sects, and the heights of their cultivation abilities were acknowledged in everyone’s thoughts. Although they had been suppressed for ten thousand years and their cultivation abilities were not as strong as before, now that the suppression had been lifted and their ancient bloodlines had started to awaken, there was totally no need to be so courteous to a human being.
“If one wants to reap, one needs to sow as well. It is not like you don’t know about the wild ambitions each of the various great sects have, although the suppression upon us has been removed, it is still difficult for the monster beast clan to recover our cultivation abilities to equate that of what it was ten thousand years ago within such a short period of time. Furthermore, all the various great sects will not necessarily give us the opportunity. That promise was made to give ourselves a backdoor out. In case we get to a point where we are at the brink of life and death, perhaps they could be our greatest support,” replied the demon emperor.
“Is the prestigious Huangfu that strong? From what I saw, his cultivation did not seem to be as strong as the legends say,” remarked the guard doubtfully.
“His cultivation is indeed not as strong as the legends say, but the fact is that he is indeed a descendant of the Huangfu family. Don’t look down on that family. They were prestigious in ancient times for good reason. Their hidden potential far surpa.s.ses your imagination. Also, that promise was made not only to him, but also to that little lady with him—Ling Chuxi,” the demon emperor continued.
“Her as well?” asked the guard, even more doubtful. Ling Chuxi’s cultivation was not really counted as much in their eyes. Furthermore, she did not have a family background to justify such a promise being made to her unlike Huangfu Qingjue. Why did the demon emperor treat her with such importance that he even clearly remembered her name? He himself had just heard it once and then forgotten it.
“There are some things you cannot understand. Anyway, send out the orders. In the future, no matter when, as long as any one of you meet Huangfu Qingjue and or Ling Chuxi, you are to treat them with respect. And if they have any requests, we are to do our best to help fulfil them,” the demon emperor said.
Yet, in his heart, he was still recalling the odd aura that he sensed was hidden within Ling Chuxi. He didn’t think much of it earlier, but now that he thought about it carefully, he recalled that even he had felt a baffling and suppressing might.
Perhaps, the true support the monster beast clan could count on in the future actually lay with her. In the demon emperor’s heart, this thought that even himself found hard to believe popped up.
