Chapter 693 - 631: Offspring of the Demon Emperor?_1
At this moment.
In a certain Star Domain.
Orange Origin Permanent Realm, Tianyuan Star Realm.
On Demon Emperor Mountain, a group of Venerables walked towards the Grand Hall, all while being perplexed.
"A Big Black Dog, capable of rescuing the Demon Emperor? That's just too preposterous..."
Peng Zhennan said, "Could that Big Black Dog be stronger than the Demon Emperor? Where in the world would there be such a dog!"
"Exactly, I feel like the descendants of the Demon Emperor don't seem very reliable..."
"Su Chi Brother, can we really trust what Luan Yan Elder said..."
The many Venerables couldn't help but turn to Gou Suichi to ask.
Gou Suichi shook his head and said:
"Luan Yan Elder is the last direct descendant of our Demon Emperor's Imperial Clan!"
"Only he can listen to the Demon Emperor's orders... There can be no mistake!"
Seeing Gou Suichi so certain, the other Venerables nodded and began to ponder seriously.
They had already entered the Grand Hall.
Ao Wushuang and Lu Cailing were awaiting them.
"It seems now, we need to find that Big Black Dog first in order to save the Demon Emperor."
Long Tianbo pondered, saying,
"But, there are countless black dogs in the world... Ordinary black dogs, surely won't suffice!"
Peng Zhennan also said:
"Right, this Big Black Dog must be extremely extraordinary, perhaps, even related to the Demon Emperor... Could it be, part of his bloodline?"
Bull Demon King considered, saying:
"This Big Black Dog definitely has some relation to the Demon Emperor, Su Chi Brother, think carefully, did the Demon Emperor encounter any Big Black Dog before he left the Yang Realm?"
Gou Suichi immediately fell into deep thought.
Meanwhile, Ao Wushuang listened to a bunch of Venerables discussing the search for the Big Black Dog...
And he was dumbfounded!
The Big Black Dog these people were looking for, it couldn't be the one from the small mountain village, could it?
Were they... insane?
He felt that things were looking bad... and instinctively began to back away!
But at that moment, Gou Suichi suddenly exclaimed:
"I remember now!"
"When the Demon Emperor was young, he had a romantic affair, and during that time, he fell for a Black Princess!"
"Only, that Black Princess fell... later on."
A bold idea flashed through his mind, saying:
"Could it be that the Black Princess bore the Demon Emperor an heir?!"
"The Big Black Dog the Demon Emperor wants us to find, could it be, the Emperor's Son!"
As soon as he said this, everyone was astounded.
"The Emperor's Son... that's not impossible."
"This... is too far-fetched, isn't it?"
"Preposterous..."
The many Venerables looked at each other in dismay, finding it hard to believe, their imaginations running wild.
However, Gou Suichi grew more and more excited, saying:
"It must be so! Everyone, because among the Emperor's Arts left by the Demon Emperor, there is an art called the Blood Leading Technique!"
"That Blood Leading Technique can summon the return of an Emperor."
"And to perform the Blood Leading Technique, at least Imperial Blood or the blood of a close relative is needed as a guide... Think about it, the Demon Emperor has asked us to help him return, we have only this technique available, and the Demon Emperor mentioned the Big Black Dog..."
"He must be implying to us that the Big Black Dog is his blood heir, the blood of the Big Black Dog can bring about the return of the Demon Emperor!"
He was utterly convinced!
At this moment, he felt that he had completely figured it out and grasped the profound meaning behind the Demon Emperor's words.
Thankfully, he enjoyed reading unofficial histories in his spare time and knew about the Demon Emperor's romantic exploits as a youth, otherwise, even if he racked his brains, he wouldn't have been able to figure it out.
Hearing this, the many Venerables all expressed... an incomprehensible sense of awe!
"I feel that this is the case!"
Peng Zhennan nodded.
"It makes sense. If the Demon Emperor needs us to save him, it suggests that he's trapped in an extremely difficult place, and the legendary blood summoning technique can indeed cross time and space."
Lu Quanduan also spoke up in affirmation:
"He mentioned finding Big Black Dog to save him, the intention couldn't be clearer!"
In a moment, all the Venerables reached a consensus.
The Big Black Dog that the Demon Emperor was looking for was most likely his posthumous child.
This was the only explanation.
Meanwhile, Ao Wushuang, listening to the analysis of the group of Venerables, was shocked.
Even he was starting to believe what the Venerables were saying...
The analysis was too damn convincing, coherent, well-founded, and logically flawless!
That dog... was actually the offspring of the legendary Demon Emperor?
No wonder it was so fierce, so terrifying, so sinister!
However, he still had a trace of doubt in his heart.
He faintly felt that the Emperor... didn't seem quite up to par to have sired Big Black Dog?
It just didn't seem right, not right at all!
But as he was pondering this, a clear voice had already risen:
"Grandpa Niu, the Big Black Dog you... are looking for..."
"I might have seen it."
Lu Cailing spoke tentatively!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the dog the many Venerables were looking for was the one.
And that Big Black Dog... seemed to like to refer to itself as "this Emperor"!
Now it seemed likely that Big Black Dog wasn't just boasting and might really be related to the Demon Emperor.
At the thought, her heart pounded, realizing that she had actually interacted with the Demon Emperor's descendant—Big Black Dog!
Upon hearing this, the many Venerables present were all startled, turning their gazes towards her.
"What? You've seen it?!"
"Is it true?"
Lu Quanduan even said, "Cai Ling girl, you must not speak rashly."
Lu Cailing thought for a moment and said:
"I really have seen a Big Black Dog. That Big Black Dog often calls itself 'this Emperor' and is incredibly defiant. If you don't believe me, ask Ao Wushuang!"
The Venerables then turned their gaze towards Ao Wushuang.
"Oh? Ao Wushuang, have you also seen that dog?"
The Bull Demon King also asked.
Ao Wushuang suddenly became nervous, mentioning that dog made him a bit scared and said:
"Indeed, I've seen it... that dog is particularly terrifying, particularly sinister!"
"It... has even killed a Venerable!"
Ao Wushuang spoke truthfully.
Upon hearing this, the many Venerables present were overjoyed.
"It has actually killed a Venerable?"
"To have such an illustrious battle record, it's worthy of being the Demon Emperor's offspring."
"It must be, it must be!"
Hearing what Ao Wushuang said, Lu Quanduan and the others were instantly certain.
Being able to kill a Venerable showed that the rank of this Big Black Dog... was high enough.
"Only the Emperor's Son would have such ability,"
Seeing this, Ao Wushuang couldn't help but say anxiously, "I advise you, it's best not to provoke that dog... there will be trouble!"
Whether Big Black Dog was really the Emperor's Son or not, Ao Wushuang wasn't sure, but he knew one thing for certain—that small mountain village... stay as far away as possible.
"What would a mere True God like you know!"
Gou Suichi, however, spoke up directly, saying,
"Lead the way, we shall welcome the return of the Emperor's Son!"
Feverish excitement filled his face, as if he could already see a bright future.
"If the Emperor's Son returns and we summon the Demon Emperor, our Demon Realm... will flourish anew!"
"Right, then what of Brahma Court, what of the Divine Realm, we'll slaughter them all!"
"The Emperor's Son is our Demon Clan's hope!"
For a time, many Venerables were also filled with expectation.
Seeing this, Ao Wushuang struggled internally for a long time.
Damn it... if these Venerables are so certain, let's take a gamble!
If Big Black Dog really is the Demon Clan's Emperor's Son, this could be his chance to truly get in with the Imperial Clan!
He just hoped these Venerables wouldn't screw him over.
"Venerables... follow me!"
"I will lead the way for you!"
He was all in.
The Venerables nodded as well, preparing to get up.
But at this moment, the Bull Demon King suddenly spoke up, saying,
"Hold on."
"Brother Suichi, I recall your clan has two pieces of the Ancestral Demon Stone Command, right?"
"Cai Ling is collecting the Ancestral Demon Stone Commands. Now that she has found a lead on the Demon Emperor's descendants, old Bull brazenly asks on her behalf for those two pieces. That's not unreasonable, is it?"
The Bull Demon King was quite considerate, speaking for Lu Cailing at the opportune time.
Hearing this, Lu Cailing also looked worriedly towards Gou Suichi.
Gou Suichi, upon hearing this, couldn't help but look at Lu Cailing and said,
"Ancestral Demon Stone Command?"
"Indeed, it's in our possession. But even if you gather the Ancestral Demon Stone Commands, they're useless. Giving them to her won't matter..."
At that, he ordered someone to bring the Ancestral Demon Stone Commands and handed them over to the Bull Demon King.
The Bull Demon King also took out one himself.
Altogether, three pieces were passed on to Lu Cailing.
Lu Cailing received them excitedly. Now, seven pieces of the Ancestral Demon Stone Commands were assembled!
She couldn't help but take out the remaining Ancestral Demon Stone Commands as well.
Assembled together, they formed a complete stone wall.
On the stone wall, a line of small characters could vaguely be made out:
"Swim one stream to Yun here."
This… were the words that only appeared once the Ancestral Demon Stone Commands were united!
"Cai Ling, even with the Stone Commands gathered... activating the Ancestral Demon's power and saving Monkey is impossible," the Bull Demon King sighed softly.
He knew full well the uselessness of the Ancestral Demon Stone Commands, his help for Cai Ling was only because he couldn't bear to see her run around tirelessly.
Yet, Lu Cailing shook her head and said with firm conviction,
"I will find a way!"
Then, Lu Quanduan spoke up, saying,
"Welcoming the Emperor's Son should not be delayed, Venerables, let's set off!"
Immediately, all the Venerables followed Ao Wushuang as they departed.
...
The next day.
Sunlight spilled over the small mountain village at daybreak.
Li Fan woke up, feeling the softness at his waist, he reached out and stroked Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai was sleeping soundly, her head resting on Li Fan's waist.
"Little Greedy Cat, time to get up."
Xiao Bai woke up, mewing affectionately and licked Li Fan's palm.
After stepping outside the door, he washed up with the help of Su Baiqian and other disciples.
In the morning sunlight, Yun Xi was doing gymnastics gracefully, a sight full of beauty.
Now, she alone was fully familiar with all three gymnastics routines.
Li Fan nodded to himself, impressed at how quickly Yun Xi had learned.
"Master... we really don't have much meat left,"
At that moment, Gong Ya approached and said,
"I reckon it can last another day or two."
Hearing this, Li Fan immediately began to worry.
How could they be out of meat again...
How would they make it through the days...
Were they going to eat vegetarian again?
After thinking for a while, he clenched his teeth and said,
"Take out all the meat, let's have a feast today!"
"I'll take you out for a picnic, let's eat roasted hot pot!"
Before facing hard times, they would splurge just once more, to have a full meal.
Hearing that, the disciples in the courtyard were overjoyed.
"Eating hot pot, yay!"
"Great, it's sure to be delicious!"
"I'll get the iron pot ready!"
...
Soon, everyone got their things together, and Gong Ya took the remaining five or six pounds of meat out of the Ghostfang Cold Box, along with potatoes and more.
"Let's go,"
Li Fan said.
...
Meanwhile.
Countless Venerables traversed the Star River!
"Venerables... up ahead is the Forty-Ninth Star Field,"
Ao Wushuang, leading a group of Venerables, was extremely nervous at this moment, saying,
"Old Ao wants to confirm once more, Venerables, that Big Black Dog, is he really a descendant of the Demon Emperor?"
He just couldn't shake the feeling of unease!
"A mere True God, what right do you have to question these things?"
Lu Quanduan responded coldly.
However, Gou Suichi just smiled and patted Ao Wushuang on the shoulder, saying,
"Young Ao, you are a promising young man. Caution is good, but you need not worry about this."
"The Big Black Dog you know is indeed the scion of the Demon Emperor, without a doubt!"
Hearing this, Ao Wushuang gritted his teeth and said,
"Fine!"
He was all in, immediately leading the way.
...
Goodnight
