Hearing Hong Lin's words, the Second Prince's face turned cold. "You're insane! So many are dead, what about our demon realm's fighting strength! Doing this will only make you unpopular! You'll end up in an abyss from which there's no recovery!"
Hearing the Second Prince's words, Hong Lin laughed wantonly. "Hahahaha! Popularity? What use do I have for popularity? The entire demon realm belongs to me. If they dare to defy me, then... I'll kill them all!"
The demons below were chilled to the bone. Who could have imagined their subordinate demon emperor was such a person?
Seeing the varied expressions of the demons below, Hong Lin raised his hands, smiling arrogantly, and declared, "I am the master of the demon realm! The demon realm... needs only one powerful being like me!"
Thinking of the woman who had consumed his physical body, Hong Lin's eyes chilled. He channeled his medicinal power and fiercely clawed at the void. In the next moment, a group of powerful demons below writhed in pain, appearing on the verge of death!
Seeing this, the Second Prince frowned. He quickly stepped in front of the demons, severing Hong Lin's crimson spiritual energy in the air. He turned to the demons and said, "Go!"
Witnessing this, Hong Lin narrowed his eyes dangerously and said, "Second Brother, you dare to obstruct me?"
The Second Prince stood before the demons, his voice heavy. "I cannot stand by and watch you make one mistake after another!"
"Hmph?"
Hong Lin let out a cold snort. In the next instant, his eyes turned cold. He directly grabbed towards the Second Prince's head from a distance, lifting him into the air. "Second Brother, I didn't expect you to betray me too. Very good! Then don't blame me for being merciless!"
Saying this, he began to absorb the Second Prince's essence and fortune.
Seeing this, a group of powerful demons frowned. After exchanging glances, they nodded and in the next moment, all charged forward, rescuing the Second Prince from the Demon Emperor's grasp. One powerful demon used a secret technique to send the Second Prince out of the demon realm. "Second Prince! Hurry and go!"
Watching the suddenly disappeared Second Prince, Hong Lin's eyes darkened. He said menacingly, "Where did you guys send him!" If he had absorbed the Second Prince's cultivation and fortune, his strength would have recovered to its peak. Now that the person had suddenly vanished, how could Hong Lin not be enraged?
Hearing Hong Lin's voice, the group of powerful demons revealed expressions of facing death bravely and said indignantly, "You slaughter innocents like this, you are no longer fit to be our Emperor!"
Upon hearing this, Hong Lin flew into a rage and directly slammed his palm towards the powerful demons below.
"Pfft—"
The demons spat out a mouthful of blood. Knowing they could not escape today, they exchanged glances and looked at the man on the throne, saying, "The Second Prince will surely avenge us!"
With that, they all crushed their inner cores!
Seeing this, Hong Lin sneered and without hesitation raised his hand, completely absorbing the fortune from their bodies. "Avenge? Heh, just a dying man, why should I fear him?"
Meanwhile.
After being sent away from the demon realm, the Second Prince landed directly in the imperial palace of the Eastern Li Kingdom, coincidentally crashing into the Golden Luang Hall...
The Emperor and a group of ministers looked at the hole in the roof of the Golden Luang Hall, then at the black figure lying motionlessly on the ground. The atmosphere instantly fell into an eerie silence...
After an unknown period, the old eunuch beside the Emperor snapped back to his senses, let out a scream, and quickly shielded the Emperor. He yelled towards the outside of the Golden Luang Hall, "Guards! Assassin!"
At this moment, the National Preceptor Ying Ya, who had been nonchalant, slowly turned his head. He glanced at the figure on the ground, and in the next second, his originally calm eyes under his mask widened sharply upon seeing the face of the person on the ground. He quickly strode over and flipped the person over. After a moment's thought, Ying Ya raised his hand and gently brushed the Second Prince's forehead. In the next second, the black markings on his forehead disappeared, making him appear normal.
Just then, the leader of the Golden Armored Guards, hearing the shouts, rushed in with a group of Golden Armored Guards, surrounding the entire hall. "Protect His Majesty!"
After the Golden Armored Guards had protected the Emperor, the leader of the Golden Armored Guards asked, "Where is the assassin?"
The old eunuch pointed at the figure in black on the ground and stammered, "There!"
Hearing this, Ying Ya smiled and said, "Eunuch Zhao, you must be mistaken. This person is not an assassin, but a friend of this National Preceptor."
Everyone, "......" He smashed a hole in the Golden Luang Hall, and you say he's not an assassin? Who would believe that?
As expected, Eunuch Zhao said in a high-pitched voice, "Your Excellency the National Preceptor, perhaps you are mistaken?"
Ying Ya stated with certainty, "This National Preceptor is not mistaken."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor on the dragon throne said to the leader of the Golden Armored Guards beside him, "Since this is the National Preceptor's friend, you may all withdraw."
Saying this, he smiled and looked at Ying Ya, "Your Excellency the National Preceptor, since this is your friend, then this roof of the Golden Luang Hall..."
Ying Ya replied, "I will pay for the repairs."
Hearing this, the Emperor nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, "That's all for today! Court is dismissed." Finally, he didn't have to listen to those old guys babbling anymore. Phew~
