Chapter 805 Strange Events in the Holy Land! The Naturally Naive Yan Ruyu
Led by a female demon, Chu Yang separated from Li Heishui and the others and headed to the main hall of the palace.
After passing a pavilion built of white jade, the female demon and Chu Yang arrived one after the other in front of an ancient and simple hall.
This palace seems to have existed for many years, exuding a profound and weighty atmosphere.
"Young Emperor Chu, please..." The female demon stood outside the door, not going in.
Chu Yang nodded and walked straight into the main hall.
The guards at the gate did not stop him. Now everyone in the demon race knows that Chu Yang is the princess's fiancé and also carries the heart of the demon emperor.
It is no exaggeration to say that although he is not a demon, his status among demons is no less than that of a powerful descendant.
There weren't many people in the main hall. On one side were Yan Ruyu and Qin Yao, as well as a few old women.
The Peacock King sat opposite the group with a man in a blue robe.
The man in the blue robe was handsome and strong, bearing a striking resemblance to the Little Dragon King in Blue Robes.
Chu Yang's arrival surprised everyone present. Qin Yao's beautiful eyes sparkled, while Yan Ruyu's eyes held a hint of worry.
The Peacock King laughed heartily and said, "We were just talking about you, and here you are!"
"Come sit here!"
He had a very good impression of Chu Yang, feeling that the young man was very compatible with him. When faced with the attacks from various holy lands and aristocratic families, he would fight or kill without hesitation, which was very satisfying.
"This is Chu Yang?" The man from the green mountain looked Chu Yang up and down and nodded slightly.
Chu Yang first smiled at Yan Ruyu, then walked up to the Peacock King, bowed, and said, "I haven't yet had the chance to thank you in person for the matters of the Southern Region!"
The Peacock King waved his hand and said, "From now on, we're all family, no need for such formalities."
"This is the Azure Dragon King, an old friend of mine. We owe a great deal to his help in crossing the Northern Region this time!"
Chu Yang had already guessed the identity of the man in blue, so he wasn't surprised. He bowed again and said, "Junior greets Senior!"
The Azure Dragon King nodded. He was not as unrestrained and wild as the Peacock King; he was relatively more composed.
Peacock King pulled Chu Yang to sit next to him, then looked at Yan Ruyu and said, "Now that Chu Yang is here, let's continue our previous topic..."
Yan Ruyu nodded slightly and looked at Chu Yang, saying, "The matter we are discussing today happens to be related to you."
Chu Yang waited patiently for further details, but the little dragon king in green robes was also unaware of the specifics and thus failed to get any answers from him.
Yan Ruyu continued, "During this time, many people have been looking for you..."
Chu Yang was taken aback. Wasn't this a normal thing?
Given the huge commotion he caused in the Southern Region, the fact that he was wanted by the Jiang family, and the fact that he possessed the inheritance of an emperor, it would be strange if no one had ulterior motives.
Seemingly sensing his thoughts, Yan Ruyu shook her head and said, "The situation is not as simple as you think. Both the Dayan Holy Land and the Wanchu Holy Land have been making some moves recently."
"As soon as news about you gets out, you'll see the presence of these two holy sites."
"And the Central Plains Dynasty also seems to be eyeing you..."
Chu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly. He had no connection with the two holy lands, let alone any enmity between them.
As for the Central Plains Dynasty, it has absolutely no connection to them.
What could these people possibly be after if they're plotting against themselves?
The Emperor's Fortuitous Opportunity!
Or to be more precise, it's for the ultimate imperial weapon!
The Dayan Holy Land and the Wanchu Holy Land can only be considered second-rate holy lands in the Eastern Wilderness, in an awkward situation of being neither the best nor the worst.
They are much stronger than most major sects and renowned clans, but because they lack supreme imperial weapons, their foundation is somewhat inferior to that of the holy lands inherited from the ancient times.
If one could obtain a supreme emperor's inheritance, or even a great emperor's inheritance, then one could break out of this awkward situation and ascend to the heavens in one step!
As for the Central Plains Dynasty...
Chu Yang guessed that the other party might not have come for him, but they were definitely planning to take a share of the pie if the opportunity arose.
However, this series of events is by no means as simple as it appears on the surface.
Someone is definitely stirring things up in the dark. Hua Yunfei doesn't have that ability, so he can only resort to underhanded tactics now.
Otherwise, would the two holy lands need to go to such great lengths?
We should simply suppress Hua Yunfei and seize the ruthless man's inheritance from him.
To anyone, the ruthless emperor who was unparalleled in history was far stronger than an unknown emperor of unknown origin.
Seeing Chu Yang remain silent, the Peacock King suddenly said, "Given your relationship with Her Highness the Princess, I will address you as my nephew!"
"Nephew Chu, you don't need to worry too much..."
"If the Great Evolution Holy Land and the Myriad Beginnings Holy Land are so blind, I'll make them change their Holy Lord!"
To openly demand the life of the Holy Lord is an extremely domineering statement.
The Peacock King also had the right to be domineering, after all, eight hundred years ago, he was already able to stand on equal footing with the Holy Lord Yaoguang.
The Azure Dragon King nodded and said, "That's right, there's no need to be afraid!"
"I've already contacted the seventh brother, and we're preparing to settle accounts with the Jiang family and the Yao Guang Holy Land..."
"If the Great Evolution Holy Land and the Myriad Beginnings Holy Land dare to make any rash moves, then we'll deal with them as well!"
When Yan Ruyu was in the Southern Region, he was attacked by the Yao Guang Holy Land because the Peacock King went to hunt down the thirteenth ancestor of the Jiang family.
Therefore, the main enemies facing the demon race right now are the Jiang family and the Sunshine Holy Land.
The two supreme beings were frighteningly old, yet they possessed an air of dominating the heavens.
Chu Yang thanked them, and then the group chatted about what had happened in the Southern Region. The Peacock King exclaimed how delightful it was.
It must be said that the demon race treated Chu Yang very well.
Regardless of their motives, the fact that these people are willing to fight to the death with an ancient and powerful family for his sake is already remarkable.
After leaving the main hall, Chu Yang followed Yan Ruyu to her bedroom. Qin Yao kept giving him flirtatious glances along the way, her eyes seemingly overflowing with affection.
However, Chu Yang clearly saw that there was more mockery in her eyes.
Upon arriving at the palace, Yan Ruyu dismissed those around her, then glanced at Qin Yao, who seemed unwilling to leave, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.
Her gaze shifted to Chu Yang, and a blush, unusually, appeared on her stunningly beautiful face, making her look somewhat shy.
This scene would likely make countless men in the Eastern Wilderness fall for her.
Although Yan Ruyu hadn't spoken yet, Chu Yang instantly understood what was going on based on her expression, raising an eyebrow and asking, "So fast?"
This shouldn't be the case!
The Heart of the Demon Emperor is a sacred medicine left to future generations by the Azure Emperor. Yan Ruyu can only exert its maximum effect under two circumstances.
First, he was critically injured and on the verge of death, but was brought back to life by the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart.
Secondly, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, one can break through the barriers by relying on the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart!
Yan Ruyu is definitely not seriously injured or on the verge of death right now, which means...
She has reached a critical juncture where she needs to break through her cultivation realm with the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart.
Seeing that Yan Ruyu was too shy to speak, Qin Yao suddenly smiled and said, "Before leaving the Southern Region, Her Highness the Princess felt a summons and went to the Demon Emperor's Tomb again."
"There, she received the blessings of her ancestors, and all four secret realms reached perfection!"
Have all four secret realms reached perfection?
Chu Yang was stunned for a moment. What kind of unexpected development was this?
I didn't do anything, so how did I help Yan Ruyu speed up?
wrong!
The problem isn't with Yan Ruyu!
Chu Yang's eyes flickered slightly, and he guessed that this was probably the work of the Azure Emperor.
This incident didn't happen in the original storyline. It was because he displayed the might of an emperor in the Demon Emperor's tomb that the Azure Emperor sent out his divine sense to check the situation.
This conjecture is reasonable. The Azure Emperor was the only Great Emperor in the post-ancient era and has always been protecting the common people.
He guessed that the other party mistook him for some awakened supreme being of the forbidden zone, but after some investigation, he discovered that he was actually his descendant's fiancé.
Perhaps it was for this reason that the Azure Emperor paid more attention to Yan Ruyu, and led her to the Demon Emperor's tomb, where he bestowed upon her a great fortune.
"You want to ascend to the Immortal Platform with the Heart of the Demon Emperor?" Chu Yang looked at Yan Ruyu, his expression slightly shifting.
Yan Ruyu pursed her red lips and nodded slightly, her eyes somewhat evasive.
No matter how aloof and ethereal she may be, she is still a pure and innocent girl. Now that she is going to cultivate with a man, she will inevitably show some girlish behavior.
Chu Yang frowned, while Qin Yao, standing beside him, glared at him with her beautiful eyes and said, "Fine! You're the envy of countless men in the Eastern Wilderness, and you're still unwilling?"
Chu Yang was speechless. It wasn't that he was narcissistic; Qin Yao's feelings were already obvious, and everyone knew it.
But why would someone forcefully push their sweetheart away?
"If you are unwilling... then..." Yan Ruyu's eyes flickered.
But before she could finish speaking, Chu Yang interrupted her softly, "You've misunderstood. I was just thinking..."
"Isn't it a bit of a waste to use the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart solely for breaking through to the Immortal Platform Realm?"
Hearing him say that, Yan Ruyu's pretty face softened again, and she shook her head, saying, "No, I can't digest all the power of the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart at once..."
As she spoke, a blush returned to her cheeks, the meaning of which was self-evident.
That means one session of dual cultivation is simply not enough!
He glanced at the demon princess who had become entangled with him entirely because of the Demon Emperor's Holy Heart.
Looking again at Qin Yao, whose eyes held a hint of allure but who, despite her feigned nonchalance, still seemed somewhat melancholic, Chu Yang felt a strange unease.
"Why are you being so hesitant about things that were bound to happen sooner or later?"
Qin Yao suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled, "Do you expect me to stand here and teach you how to cultivate together?"
Yan Ruyu's face turned even redder. After Qin Yao finished her assist, she swayed as she walked out of the palace.
After Qin Yao left, Yan Ruyu lowered her head slightly and turned to walk deeper into the bedroom.
Chu Yang hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and followed.
Upon entering the boudoir, he saw Yan Ruyu sitting upright on the edge of the bed, looking like a well-behaved elementary school student.
The atmosphere became slightly awkward. Just then, Yan Ruyu suddenly looked up, as if she had made up her mind, and said through gritted teeth:
"I... will never let you down..."
Chu Yang was immediately filled with questions. What the hell is this? You're sure you won't let me down?
Why am I acting like a submissive wife?
How come I never noticed before that this demon princess, a descendant of the Azure Emperor, actually hides a natural airhead beneath her elegant, dreamlike, and stunningly beautiful appearance?
Yan Ruyu seemed to realize that her words were a bit off, and she wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to say it.
What she actually wanted to tell Chu Yang was that even if the two of them were only cultivating together because of the Demon Emperor's Holy Heart and some conflicts of interest, she would still stand with Chu Yang in the future.
Whether it's something like what happens outside the Fire Domain, or dealing with the major holy lands and aristocratic families.
Chu Yang shook his head and sighed. He had thought that Yan Ruyu would treat him as a tool, and that everyone would get what they wanted, so he wouldn't lose out no matter how you looked at it.
Gathering his thoughts, he simply stepped forward and pinned Yan Ruyu down on the bed.
Yan Ruyu's eyes widened, as if she wasn't mentally prepared.
The gauze curtains beside the bed fell, obscuring the full bloom of spring in the garden.
Outside the bedchamber, several female demons were huddled together whispering, with some occasionally peeking inside out of curiosity.
But they waited and waited, and still didn't hear any sound coming from inside, which made them a little puzzled.
Could it be that they couldn't reach an agreement?
Or perhaps... Emperor Chu wasn't vigorous enough, and Her Highness the Princess didn't feel anything?
But as night fell, the expressions of these female demons became somewhat stiff and numb.
Since dusk, a plaintive, weeping sound had been emanating from the bedchamber, continuing until now. The sound had even become somewhat hoarse, with a faint hint of sobbing.
Goodness...
Is Her Highness broken?
In the bedchamber, Yan Ruyu didn't get a chance to catch her breath until dawn. Her whole body was weak, and she turned her head away, not daring to look at Chu Yang.
But before long, her beautiful eyes widened slowly, and her pretty face, still streaked with tears, was filled with panic.
"Wait...wait...that's enough..."
The effects of dual cultivation have indeed been achieved. Yan Ruyu only needs to digest the essence of the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart absorbed from Chu Yang to break through to the Immortal Platform in a short period of time.
Looking at the current generation of young people in the Eastern Wilderness, in terms of cultivation alone, no one can surpass him.
However, Yan Ruyu was enough, but Chu Yang wasn't enough!
And so, the fairies outside the palace had just breathed a sigh of relief when they were once again terrified.
The next morning, Chu Yang stepped out of his bedchamber and felt the extremely complex gazes of the female demons. He immediately realized that these girls had probably been eavesdropping all night.
There was fear, shock, and a hint of... eagerness in his eyes.
Chu Yang caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, his brows furrowed slightly, and he quickened his pace, heading directly towards the sleeping quarters of the Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King.
He didn't know how to face Qin Yao, so he decided to stay away for now and wait for the two sisters to reach an internal reconciliation before trying to mediate.
Upon arriving at the residence of the Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King, Chu Yang summoned Li Heishui and the others, and they left the demon clan's palace directly.
Walking down the street, looking at Tu Fei who seemed rather excited, Chu Yang asked suspiciously, "Why are you acting like you've been injected with chicken blood?"
Tu Fei's eyes gleamed, and he rubbed his hands together, saying, "I've already found out that almost all the holy sons and daughters of the Eastern Wilderness have come to the Holy City!"
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Once I steal a saintess to take home as my wife, won't I be the envy of countless cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness?"
"Maybe Grandpa will be so happy that he'll pass the Imperial Weapon to me!"
Chu Yang was speechless. This guy's mind was full of "stealing the Holy Maiden". It is said that the biggest regret of the seventh bandit Tu Tian was that he could not steal a Holy Maiden to be his wife.
In a sense... this could be considered a family tradition?
After a moment of daydreaming, Tu Fei finally remembered the important matter and looked at Chu Yang, saying:
"Brother Chu, it's said that this time, in addition to the prodigies of the Eastern Wilderness, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi has also invited some prodigies from the Central Plains!"
"It seems that all the forces in the Eastern Wilderness are intentionally moving closer to the Holy City, but their motives are unclear..."
"The supreme dynasty of Zhongzhou also wants a piece of the pie!" (End of Chapter)
