On the other side, after Hong Lin's soul fragments drifted back to the Demon Realm, he went to a place filled with demonic energy to cultivate. Two years later, his soul was finally no longer so weak. Once he could move freely, he returned to his demon palace.
"Big brother? You're back?"
Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Hong Lin frowned and turned around, "Second brother? Why are you here?"
The Second Prince frowned and, ignoring Hong Lin's words, said, "Where have you been all these years? What exactly did you do tens of thousands of years ago? Why did that person from the Demon Realm suddenly come to our Demon Realm to cause trouble? You need to give the people an explanation."
Hearing this, Hong Lin became somewhat impatient, frowning as he said, "Get out! I am tired!"
Upon hearing this, the Second Prince gazed deeply at the man before him, finally sighing helplessly and leaving.
Watching the man's receding back, Hong Lin frowned, a hint of killing intent flashing in his beautiful eyes...
The next day, Hong Lin finally emerged from his chambers.
He glanced at the guards flanking his chambers and raised his eyebrows, saying with arrogance, "Announce it! I have returned! Let them all come and pay homage to me!"
As he spoke, Hong Lin slightly raised his head and looked at the distant sky, exuding an air of extreme arrogance...
But when he felt no movement from the people beside him, Hong Lin frowned, turned his head, and said with dissatisfaction, "Didn't you hear what I said?"
Hearing this, the two guards exchanged glances. One of them stepped forward, frowning and asking, "Who are you?"
Hong Lin: "..."
After locking eyes with the guard at the gate for two seconds, Hong Lin became enraged and directly unleashed a ball of red spiritual energy. The next moment, the demon who had spoken earlier's pupils constricted, and he collapsed to the ground, lifeless...
Seeing this, Hong Lin nodded with satisfaction, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the other guard, saying, "Scram!"
Seeing that the guard merely stood there with his weapon, his face full of vigilance as he stared at him, showing no intention of leaving, Hong Lin became annoyed. Thus, he decided to finish him off as well, and then began to absorb their fortunes...
The Second Prince, who had arrived, saw this and asked indignantly, "What are you doing!"
Hong Lin said matter-of-factly, "If they don't obey me, they must die!"
The Second Prince looked at Hong Lin as if he were an idiot, "You haven't appeared for tens of thousands of years, so it's normal for the people in the palace not to recognize you. Why did you kill them!" And to absorb their fortunes; one must know that once a demon's fortune is absorbed by someone else, they completely disappear from this world, with no possibility of reincarnation...
Hong Lin said with immense arrogance, "If you don't respect me, you must die!"
The Second Prince glared at the man before him, flicked his robes, turned, and left, "Unreasonable! Madman!"
Watching the Second Prince's receding back, the killing intent in Hong Lin's eyes intensified...
Suddenly, he seemed to recall something, a bloodthirsty smile curling his lips. He glanced at the two corpses on the ground, flicked his robes, and turned to leave.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was evening.
The Second Prince, upon hearing the report from his subordinate, angrily slammed his palm on the table, looking at the reporting guard with shock and exclaiming, "What did you say!"
The guard swallowed hard, recalling the scene he had witnessed, and tried his best to remain calm as he said, "Reporting to the Second Prince... the Demon Emperor... has sent people to capture many great demons, and is currently absorbing their vital essence and fortunes..."
The Second Prince quickly got up and walked towards the hall, asking coldly, "Where are they now?"
After learning the location from the guard, the Second Prince rushed there with his demons, but he was still a step too late...
Seeing the bodies of many great demons lying in the hall, the Second Prince's eyes darkened. He angrily pushed open the hall door and walked in, "What have you done!"
On the throne, the man glanced at the Second Prince and said disdainfully, "It is their fortune to be of use to me."
The demons, "..." This was truly stabbing the great demons in the heart even in death... How cruel!
