Chapter 90 - Hundred Years Region Ceremony. (1/2)

In a place full of greenly stood a pavilion – withered with time. Different animals were gathered around the pavilion, playing.

It was a beautiful, peaceful, and tranquil sight. But, suddenly, a burst of dark energy – in the form of a shockwave – is released from the pavilion.

The animals that were present outside started to deformed into grotesque shapes. Some had eyes gouged out, while some's backbone made a strange arc outside of their bodies.

Their teeth started to increase in length, becoming more ferocious and sharp. They begin to howl towards the sky.

The once calm and tranquil scene changed into that of madness.

They looked back at the pavilion and bowed, showing their loyalty to the one inside the pavilion.

Inside the pavilion, a girl in her 17s sat, meditating. She wore green robes. Even though her age was 17s, her body was fully developed. Big brėȧst, buŧŧ, hour-glass figure, her skin was a smooth as jade; perfectly crafted.

Her long hair flutters even with no wind present inside the pavilion.

A moment later, her eyelids trembled. She slowly opened her eyes, which had a dark glint passing from them.

Forming a fist, she checks her strength. A lunatic grin formed on her face as she said, ”Hehehe~! I am back, 'brother'. You just wait for me. We will definitely be together again!”

As her voice fades, she again closed her eyes and went back to her cultivation. The whole forest descends into silence as if afraid to anger her.

Demon Imperial City was the biggest city in Illusionary Demon Realm. It was three times bigger than the Divine Phoenix Empire.

This city was created by the first Demon Emperor when he gathered Ten Divine Families to went on an expedition to clear the Illusionary Demon Realm of anarchy.

Once Demon Emperor conquered the whole Illusionary Demon Realm, he settled in the Demon Imperial City with Ten Divine Families that acted as guardian families for the Illusionary Demon Royal Family.

As the name explains, it was the ceremony where people would celebrate the one hundred years' rule of the Demon Emperor.

A total of one hundred thousand people all over the continent will gather in Demon Imperial Hall for the celebration.

Top forces and leaders from each major region are invited, and so are top powerhouses and profound sects, but they can bring no more than ten people.

Each of the Twelve Guardian Families and major Duke Palaces can bring one hundred people and are seated in golden seats at the center of the Hall because of their special status

This was the reason why Demon Imperial City was so packed with people.

Demon Imperial Hall was a great hall, as big as Yun Family – was packed with people, demons, and humans alike.

The outer area was for people all over the continent, while the inner area was for influential families like Twelve Guardian Families.

The inner area was divided into three sections; East Wing, Middle, and West Wing.

The seating arrangement was done from north to south, with north being closest to Little Demon Empress while south being the farthest. It also indicated the positions of the Families and their influence.

Middle: Little Demon Empress

West Wing: Su, Yan, Under Heaven, Mu, Yun.

Soon, the hall was filled with members of Twelve Guardian Families – each having hundred members.

Since Little Demon Empress was still not present, many little skirmishes were going here and there. Though most were targeted to Yun Family.

Duke Huai, who wanted to start a rebellion against the Illusionary Demon Royal Family, was the spearhead during the insults.

He wanted to make sure to kick Yun Family out of the Twelve Guardian Families. Even though everyone now knew that Canhai has come back and is present in the meeting, Duke Huai and the Families that have taken his side still ridicule him for losing the Mirror of Samsara for the exchange of his life.

As fights were happening, everyone heard a gong – indicating the start of the ceremony.

Hall turned quiet when everyone's attention was on the Middle Wing, at the throne of the Little Demon Emperor.

There were waiting for her to arrive when, suddenly, Sakura petals started to fall in the hall. Many frowned on this unusual occurrence of Sakura petals.

Tuk* Tuk* Tuk*

They all heard the sound of a footstep. Even though it was the sound of footsteps, they felt every sound hitting their heart.

Every sound was producing a unique rhythm. If one was not of firm heart, then they might be pulled into the rhythm – losing their consciousness or even worse life.

Feeling it, everyone hurriedly used their profound energies to protect their hearts. Elders instructed the juniors to do the same.

”What in heaven is going on?!” An elder from the Xiao Sect shouted.

”What is this sound? Is someone attacking us?” Helian Kuang – the patriarch of the Helian Family – said while looking towards Duke Huai; to see if he is related to it somehow.

Duke Huai, feeling his gaze shook his head. Indicating that he also was not aware of what it was.

Soon, everyone saw a shadow coming from the entrance of the inner hall. Their attention diverted towards it.

A moment later, a young man – with long silver hair that was left open, red slit eyes – walking inside.

Seeing Wang Lei, he had hopes of stopping the rebellion.

Before they could yell at him for entering the hall without permission, they saw Little Demon Empress and a girl with long red hair, red dress – she looked to be 14 years of age – walking in.

Since Caiyi had become Primordial Golden Crow, her beauty was enhanced to another level. Though there was not much change on her body except a slightly bigger bulge on her ċhėst, her appearance was still enough to mesmerize any mortal.

Younger generations had their mouth wide open with saliva coming from them; elders were not much better.

They watched as Wang Lei calmly walked towards the throne. With every step he took, petals would make a way for him as too afraid to come in his way.

Soon, he made it to the top of the pedestal and sat on the throne.

Seeing it, others seemed to forget Little Demon Empress as Helian Kuang shouted, ”Presumptuous! How dare you sit on the seat of Demon Emperor?!”
