When the secret door opened once again, Yue Yang slowly walked out.
Princess Qian Qian and Xue Wu Xia welcomed him and gave him a tight hug.
This battle was so difficult. The process was extremely dangerous, to the extent that a single mistake would have caused them to be completely doomed with no chance of recovery. Fortunately, Empress Jellyfish’ strategy was already in place. Afterwards, when Yue Yang improvised the strategy, the two generation’s plan merged into one. In the end, they managed to turn the tides to their favour and won the battle.
Although Thousand Goblin King had been killed, not all the enemies had been completely annihilated.
Ancient Demon King’s soul vessel hadn’t been found since the start, it was hidden in a secret place.
As for Scarlet Emperor and Scarlet Consort, if it wasn’t for the appearance of Zhi Zun and Night Empress, both of them would have invaded the secret door long ago.
Lastly, there was also the great battle between the terrible Black Hell King and Sky Execution in the Soaring Dragon Continent… It was only because Dragon Emperor, Underworld Emperor and Sky Execution joined hands together that they were able to defeat Black Hell King and forced Black Hell King to stop making a ruckus in the Soaring Dragon Continent. This helped Yue Yang to have a piece of mind when fighting Thousand Goblin King, without having the need to worry about Soaring Dragon Continent. That was how he was able to successfully kill the cunning Thousand Goblin King who had reincarnated millions of times.
“How did you guys manage to catch Prince of Zhi Jin?” Yue Yang saw the human head on Ye Kong’s hands and confirmed that it was one of Thousand Goblin King’s clones, Prince of Zhi Jin.
“We didn’t catch him, we only spoke with the Zhi Jin’s Heavenly Imperial Guardians. Although the Kingdom of Zhi Jin has bad blood with us, they weren’t able to cover up this matter anymore. The fact that Prince of Zhi Jin was Thousand Goblin King’s clone, those two Heavenly Imperial guardians should already be aware of it. When we reached them in the Innate Alliance, they seemed to already know our reason for finding them. They left to discuss the matter with their Kingdom for around an hour, then handed over the Prince of Zhi Jin to Ye Kong and Fatty Hai. We then moved him here and killed him according to what you have planned.” Princess Qian Qian summarized what had happened to Yue Yang.
“There was actually a condition put forth by the Kingdom of Zhi Jin to take the Prince of Zhi Jin. In 10 years, we are not to invade the Kingdom of Zhi Jin under any name. Of course, they cannot send out troops to attack us too. On the previous invasion, they will compensate us according to the loss.” Xue Wu Xia’s face turned cold as she said, “They are only delaying the inevitable.”
“That’s right, if you haven’t told us to spare that big one, we would definitely kill that fellow too.” Princess Qian Qian nodded.
“?” Ye Kong and Fatty Hai were both very curious.
They thought, who was the other clone actually?
Was it the Young Sect Leader, Bai Yun Fei, whose was Prince of Zhi Jin’s good friend?
Or was it another person?
Maybe it was that low-keyed but was in truth a battle maniac, Emperor Chu Tian Xiao of Kingdom of Zhi Jin? Or was it the strongest warrior amongst the nobility in Kingdom of Zhi Jin, the one with close relationship with Demon Abyss, Marquis of Zhi Jin?
Even Yue Yang’s First Uncle Yue Shan was under Ye Kong’s and the others’ suspects radar.
This was because Yue Shan’s actions were usually very suspicious.
Problem was, if Yue Shan was really one of Thousand Goblin King’s clones, how did Yue Yang not know about that since long ago?
Prince of Zhi Jin was definitely not Thousand Goblin King’s clone last time. However, with the appearance of Yue Yang who grew stronger at an unprecedented rate, then Ye Kong and Fatty Hai who improved tremendously with Yue Yang’s help, Prince of Zhi Jin became depressed. In the end, he fell into Thousand Goblin King’s temptation of power. It was really a pity. The Prince of Zhi Jin who was also a self-titled “Deer-Hunting God” and master of the “Desert Gale Sand” scimitar skill, due to his impatience of gaining power and greed of receiving great power, had lost his original heart.
The most pitiful thing was that Prince of Zhi Jin was actually reduced to a sacrificial pawn by his own Kingdom in the end.
Ye Kong sighed slowly in his heart.
In life, there were times that it seemed that you are standing in front of a crossroad. One will lead you to glory, the other will lead you to a cliff.
If you walked the wrong way, you might make a great mistake and and lose your everything, with no hope of reprieve.
“Don’t worry, that fellow will definitely look for the Thousand Goblin King’s demon heart… We will wait for him to find the demon heart, then we can kill him in one go. Thousand Goblin King’s original body is already dead, so what does a clone matter? Actually, if we think about it, the reason why we are able to kill Thousand Goblin King is because Ancient Demon King has secretly added fuel to the fire. Otherwise, it would really be difficult to kill Thousand Goblin King.” Yue Yang shook his hand, indicating to the girls not to care about Thousand Goblin King’s clone, because, what they ought to be afraid of was the Ancient Demon King who nobody knew was the Ancient Demon King at that time.
“Ancient Demon King secretly helped us, maybe he was trying to carry out some kind of plan, like resurrection.” Xue Wu Xia immediately thought of a reason.
“That’s right, Thousand Goblin King’s existence might be a hindrance to Ancient Demon King’s plans for resurrection. That’s why he used us to eliminate Thousand Goblin King. Or maybe it’s like this. Ancient Demon King didn’t believe that we could kill Thousand Goblin King at the beginning, hence he purposely laid out very obvious clues for us, afraid that our abilities were not enough to defeat Thousand Goblin King. However, the things he revealed were a little too much. With Ancient Demon King’s intelligence, it shouldn’t be this way. Maybe at first he thought that Thousand Goblin King and us would fight until both of us were fatally injured. Humph, he must have miscalculated this time.” Princess Qian Qian was also a clever girl, even if she couldn’t guess the whole picture, she could still sense the truth.
“We have the perfect body of the Ancient Demon King. Ancient Demon King would probably not harm us.” Fatty Hai laughed out loud.
“Did you really think we managed to get the Ancient Demon King’s perfect body?” Yue Yang denied it.
“Is the Ancient Demon King’s crystal coffin still inside?” Ye Kong froze in shock.
“Actually… There was nothing inside the Sky Dome Constellation Sealing Circle.” Yue Yang looked at Ye Kong, Fatty Hai, Xue Tan Lang and the others, shaking his head, “Of course I would say that I had obtained the Ancient Demon King’s crystal coffin, that was to trick Thousand Goblin King. If I didn’t say that, why would he fight me as if his life depended on it? He would have escaped long ago!”
“It was empty inside?” Xue Wu Xia and Princess Qian Qian didn’t dare to believe this, because Yue Yang never told them the truth before.
“Yes it was empty. Not even a fake crystal coffin was there.” Yue Yang nodded.
“What?” The ones who didn’t believe this the most were Feng Zhu and Bei Feng Jia Suo, who had guarded the place for 6000 years. They almost fainted. It turns out that they have wasted 6000 years guarding the place. No one would be able to take this kind of blow.
“6000 years ago, Prison Emperor must have sensed that Ancient Demon King’s soul had escaped. When he left Feng Zhu and Bei Feng Jia Suo, the two seniors, to guard this place, it must be because he wanted to trick Ancient Demon King. Because Feng Zhu and Bei Feng Jia Suo are the Prison Emperor’s most trusted aides, there must be something very important if they were the ones protecting it. Unexpectedly, this was all just a trap.” Hai Ying Wu had a mother-like wisdom, and was able to figure it out at once, “The real seal must be at another place. A place where Ancient Demon King would never find.”
“We are totally, completely fooled…” Feng Zhu and Bei Feng Jia Suo wanted to hug each other and cry.
6000 years of guarding, if there was Ancient Demon King’s crystal coffin inside, at least their work was not for nothing.
But there was nothing inside.
They completely wasted 6000 years of their lives, it was really a discouraging situation for them.
Yue Yang looked at Feng Zhu and Bei Feng Jia Suo, then suddenly shouted, “Feng Zhu and Bei Feng Jiao Suo, hear my command!”
Feng Zhu and Bei Feng Jia Suo looked at each other in confusion when they heard Yue Yang.
What is this brat saying?
“This is the Prison Emperor’s command, attention!” Yue Yang shouted loudly again.
“Ah?” Feng Zhu and Bei Feng Jia Suo immediately stood on attention when they heard it was Prison Emperor’s command. They looked at Yue Yang, still not understanding what he was about to tell them.
“Feng Zhu and Bei Feng Jia Suo, you did not abandon your post for 6000 years. In view of your loyal services, I, Yue Yang, who has assumed the title of the new Prison Emperor, hereby pronounce you as the Heavenly General, Guardian of Tong Tian Tower. Feng Zhu will be the Left Heavenly General and Bei Feng Jia Suo will be the Right Heavenly General! Every single warrior in Tong Tian Tower will worship and respect you two. Those who doesn’t follow the Prison Emperor’s command will be ousted.” Yue Yang’s initially strict and serious face caused everyone to tense up and hold their breaths, but his expression suddenly turned gentle as he nodded towards Feng Zhu and Bei Feng Jia Suo who were still at a daze, and said, “This is the last command from the Prison Emperor: Your guarding mission has been completed. You two, it’s been hard on you!”
“It has really ended?” Feng Zhu and Bei Feng Jia Suo tried to restrain the excitement and surprise bubbling up within them and asked to confirm.
“Yes, your mission has ended.” Yue Yang deeply bowed towards them to show his respect.
Xue Wu Xia and Princess Qian Qian were also bowing behind Yue Yang.
Then Elder Nan Gong bowed.
Then Ye Kong, Fatty Hai, Xue Tan Lang, Prince of Tian Luo, Li Brothers, Hai Ying Wu, Bloody Queen Red, Dragon Girl Jiang Ying… Everyone all bowed deeply to show their respect. These two had stayed in front of the fort within the secret door for 6000 years, to guard the being sealed inside the Sky Dome Constellation Seal. They were seniors whom everyone really respected.
Other Sea Clan members such as Elder Xing Pan, had all knelt down on the ground together with all the Sea Generals and Clown Fishmen.
They prostrated themselves in worship.
Even the Abyss Manatees whom Yue Yang had captured as slaves were also respectfully bowing towards Feng Zhu and Bei Feng Jia Suo. Compared to them, the Abyss Manatees’ loyalty and service was nothing. Only warriors like Feng Zhu and Bei Feng Jia Suo were people that was worth of trust. These two Abyss Manatees initially felt some grievances. They thought that if they had not been threatened by Yue Yang, the wouldn’t have become slaves. However, now they suddenly understand that to earn others’ respect, it did not only depend on status. The most important thing would be faith.
Not everyone could have what Feng Zhu and Bei Feng Jia Suo had, a conviction that did not waver 6000 years.
Ye Kong and Fatty Hai looked towards each other in mutual understanding after they bowed.
In each other’s eyes, they saw the same kind of determination.
It was a determination to be the kind of loyal subordinate like Bei Feng Jia Suo and Feng Zhu… In the previous Prison Emperor’s side, there were trusted aides like Bei Feng Jia Suo and Feng Zhu. Who would be on the new generation Prison Emperor’s side? Ye Kong and Fatty Hai would not hesitate to volunteer themselves! They knew that they were never a Prison Emperor material, but they knew they could do something like what Feng Zhu and Bei Feng Jia Suo did.
That was their target.
“Thank you.” Feng Zhu and Bei Feng Jia Suo revealed a smile full of relief, and bowed towards Yue Yang respectfully.
“No, thank you.” Yue Yang bowed to them again the second time. This time, he was bowing as a junior to a senior, not as the new generation of Prison Emperor.
“Time passes so quickly. In a flash, 6000 years has passed.” Feng Zhu sighed, “Now we can finally rest, but we don’t even know where to go. We have been separated from the outside world for too long, so much that we are even afraid to meet people…”
“Feng Zhu, do you want to go to the Heaven Realm? On behalf of our thousands of years of friendship, I can be your tourguide for free.” Bei Feng Jia Suo suddenly wanted to return to the Heaven Realm.
“You must also introduce to me, this big brother of yours, to a nice girl. Otherwise I won’t accompany you to the Heaven Realm.” Feng Zhu circled his arms around Bei Feng Jia Suo’s shoulder.
“Dammit, who’s my big brother? You should call me big brother! I’m older than you!” Bei Feng Jia Suo was angry.
“So you are automatically the big brother because you are older? Being the older brother means you are stronger, and I’m stronger than you!” Feng Zhu defended that he was stronger the Bei Feng Jia Suo.
“Then let’s fight and see who’s stronger!” Bei Feng Jia Suo couldn’t take it lying down.
“Let’s fight then, you think I’m afraid of you?”
The two old fellows who were still like little children even after living for thousands of years, walked out, noisily bickering. Their figure became smaller and smaller.
When Xue Tan Lang saw Ye Kong and Fatty Hai, he nodded quietly, as he felt that these two people were truly quite alike like the two old seniors. It was just that their abilities were far weaker.
Yue Yang saw that everyone was still there, and he waved his hands, “Go, go, go. We have finished the battle. If you have girls go to your girls, if you don’t, train your martial art skills. Everyone leave this place, I really want to rest. Don’t stay here and hinder my happy time.”
When Fatty Hai heard this, he immediately whined out, “Hey, hey! Are you really going to be like this? Where is your sense of brotherhood? We all worked so hard to finally win the battle, how could you not introduce us to some Sea Clan girls? Are you going to just drive us all away like this and hog all the beautiful girls? This won’t do, you have to introduce us to beautiful Sea Clan girls today no matter what, otherwise I won’t leave.”
Yue Yang didn’t even bother to look at him, “Then stay, I’ll introduce to to eight-handed octopus girl. Please have little octopus children in the future.”
“Octopus? Ne-never mind then…” Fatty Hai felt that humans were still better, octopus girls were a little out of his comfort zone. Furthermore, with so many hands, wouldn’t he be out of breath if she hugged him? That would be a big problem!
“Tsk!” Ye Kong had already known that Fatty Hai was perverted but had no guts to pursue his sexual urges. He gave him a middle finger and looked at him in disdain.
