Chapter 291 Faith is the Demon Lord
"Eternal God Emperor, you want me to come to your God Realm to seek a position?" Was she seeing things, or was someone's brain malfunctioning?
She is the mighty Demon Lord!
Even though there has been little friction between the realms of gods and demons in recent years, as he said before, the long-standing grudges between gods and demons cannot be resolved with just a few words.
But their leader of the divine realm actually extended an olive branch to her, the Demon Lord? And he was even a member of the divine class?
No matter how you look at it, this deal seems to have a conspiracy behind it.
He nodded slowly and deliberately, his voice pleasant: "Yes, if the Demon Lord is willing, there will be a place for you in the highest heavens."
Yun Yao: "..." I used to think he was a rare gem, but now it seems he's not very bright.
Yun Yao's expression returned to its usual seriousness. It seemed that her trip to Jiuxiao today had been in vain. Oh well, she hadn't had much hope to begin with anyway.
She slowly stood up from her seat, her expression aloof.
"I appreciate Emperor Yongyu's kindness, but I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I'm quite content in that dark palace and don't want to be ordered around or be at the mercy of others."
Having said that, Yun Yao was already preparing to leave.
Emperor Yongyu did not try to stop him, but coldly said, "Demon Lord, I said, don't rush to make a decision."
With a wave of his hand, the gold and silk on the table floated toward Yun Yao.
However, Yun Yao showed no sign of being moved. She pinched a cluster of blue ghostly flames between her fingers and burned the gold and silk that flew in front of her.
"I hope the God Emperor will refrain from uttering such nonsensical words. Today is an inopportune time. I will visit again another day. At that time, I do not wish to be barred from entering the God Realm again." Yun Yao's gaze swept over everyone present, her voice carrying a hint of warning.
Emperor Yongyu remained silent, watching Yun Yao's figure disappear from the spot with a calm expression.
When the ministers saw Yun Yao, that devil, leave, they exchanged glances and knelt in the center of the hall.
"God Emperor, if you take this demon Yun Zhouwan into the God Realm, won't the God Realm never have peace again? Please reconsider!"
Emperor Yongyu looked at the group of people kneeling on the ground, his eyes as cold as ice.
For some reason, I've been finding these people increasingly annoying lately.
"I have no right to interfere with my decisions. If you are as talkative as the Heavenly Destiny Star Lord, you might as well relinquish your divine positions," he said coldly.
Instantly, the hall fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.
When they looked up again, the God Emperor was nowhere to be seen at the head of the table.
……
Yun Yao returned to the Dark Palace, furious, and cleaved several mountains surrounding the Demon Realm in two.
Since Yun Yao ascended to the position of Demon Lord, no one in the Demon Realm had ever seen her so angry, and they all hid at their doorsteps to watch.
"What's wrong with the Demon Lord?"
"I don't know. It's been like this since we came back from the God Realm. Could it be that those bastards from the God Realm are bullying our Demon Lord?"
"What are you thinking? Who in the entire world and the six realms can harm our beautiful Demon Lord?"
If you were to ask the people of the Demon Realm what their faith is, they would answer without hesitation: their faith is the Demon Lord.
As soon as Qiao Yunan entered the clan, he sensed an unusual atmosphere in the air, and he grabbed someone at random.
"What happened?"
When the man finally saw the face of the person asking the question, his legs went weak.
"Protect...protect the Dharma."
A hundred years ago, Qiao Yunan was an outer disciple of the Demon Clan. Like other demons, he suffered greatly from the ravages of war. During that great war between gods and demons, he, who had just entered the sect, was ordered by the Demon Lord at the time to be thrown onto the battlefield to attract the firepower of the gods. When he was on the verge of death, it was Yun Yao who saved him.
At that time, Yun Yao was already an elder of the Demon Clan.
In this race devoid of any emotions, a woman brought him warmth. No one knew that at that time, Qiao Yunan secretly vowed to protect Yun Yao for all eternity.
After he recovered from his injuries, he stayed by Yun Yao's side until Yun Yao killed the tyrannical Demon Lord on the battlefield. She became the new Demon Lord, and he rose in rank, becoming the Demon Lord's only confidant.
Over the past century, although Yun Yao has been a very good Demon Lord, she has been unwilling to worry about the trivial matters of the Demon Clan, leaving all the big and small matters to Qiao Yunan.
This vast demon realm is just handed over to an outsider like this; I wonder if I should say Yun Yao is incredibly magnanimous.
Despite holding a high position for so many years, Qiao Yunan not only never had any other thoughts, but also devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Demon Clan.
Of course, this is how Yun Yao sees Qiao Yunan. In the eyes of the common people, Protector Qiao is not devoted to the Demon Clan, but only to the Demon Lord. As long as the Demon Lord speaks, he will not even flinch, even if it means going through fire and water.
Perhaps it was the loneliness of being at the top that led him to become increasingly eccentric and ruthless. In the demon realm, the saying "It's better to offend the Demon Lord than to offend the Dharma Protector" became popular.
Getting back to the point, the man looked at Qiao Yunan with trembling eyes, his gaze darting away.
"what happened?"
"Replying to the Protector, the Demon Lord...the Demon Lord went to the God Realm alone today."
With a "thud," the man was thrown to the ground. When he looked up again, Qiao Yunan was nowhere to be seen. Everything that had just happened seemed like a dream.
"Scared...scared me to death."
After the person left, a large area of the ground was wet.
……
Yun Yao, wielding an ancient divine sword, stood atop a mountain surrounding the Demon Realm and slashed wildly, cursing as she did so: "You want me to be your subordinate in the God Realm, Yong Yu? Have you no shame?!"
"A conspiracy! This is definitely a conspiracy!"
"I'd like to see what you're up to!" With that, he cleaved the opposite mountain in two with a single stroke.
The demons were thriving, but the area around the demon realm was particularly desolate. It wasn't that they didn't want their territory to become vibrant, but the faster they planted, the faster Yun Yao chopped.
When Qiao Yunan arrived, Yun Yao was changing her weapon.
Perhaps she wasn't satisfied with hacking with the broadsword, so she took out a red-tasseled spear, and with a light lift of her hand, the red-tasseled spear instantly transformed into thousands of spears.
"Eternal Emperor, prepare to die!"
The opposite mountain trembled, and the next second, it was riddled with countless red-tasseled spears.
Seeing this, Yun Yao clapped her hands.
"This is infuriating!"
"Your Excellency." Qiao Yunan's voice came from behind.
Yun Yao paused slightly, picked up the weapon from the ground, and turned to look at him.
"It's you. What brings you here?"
Qiao Yunan handed her a square box.
"It is best to take the Thousand Mountain Ice Lotus as soon as possible."
Yun Yao said "oh" and accepted the box.
Seeing that he still hadn't left, Yun Yao asked again, "Is there anything else?"
Qiao Yunan shook his head, stepped aside to let Yun Yao go first, and followed behind her.
Yun Yao was incredibly perceptive; how could she not notice the unspoken words of the person behind her?
"Qiao Yunan, you and I are already so close, what can't you say? Please speak freely." Yun Yao's voice was indifferent.
Qiao Yunan hesitated for a moment, and then his slightly seductive voice rang out.
"Did you go to the realm of gods today?"
He stopped using honorifics when he was alone with her, though he didn't know when it started.
It was just a title, and Yun Yao didn't care.
