Chapter 157: The Wrath of the Demon Emperor
Facing Feng Xiu's questioning, Vashak quickly said,
"Your Majesty, I can naturally sense this, but none of this is his fault."
"In the Demon Clan's environment, human-demon hybrids are frowned upon. We all know this."
"But I can also sense that while Lin Ze may not feel a sense of belonging to the Demon Clan, he's very kind to His Highness Leng Xiao, Princess Yue Ye, and the Love Demon God Sidi. It's clear he doesn't dislike the Demon Clan."
"What are you trying to say?" Demon Emperor Feng Xiu frowned slightly. He had the feeling that the Star Demon God Vashak had been waiting for him.
"Your Majesty, let me be frank. With Lin Ze's talent, once he matures, he will undoubtedly become the most powerful being in the Holy Demon Continent, possibly even surpassing you."
"But Lin Ze right now, as you said, feels no sense of belonging to the Demon Clan, let alone fighting for them. So I'm worried that once he grows up, he'll no longer be under your control, and might even become an enemy of the Demon Clan!"
"So, I hope you'll try to accept him, win him over!"
"Let him connect with the Demon Clan, and form a shared destiny with them."
"Continue," Feng Xiu said.
Feng Xiu had indeed considered what Vashak said, and it was his concern.
Lin Ze's growth rate was indeed outrageous. If he became powerful, he would indeed break free from his constraints. The fact that Lin Ze had dared to sign a blood pact with the godhead this time was the best explanation.
Hearing that the Demon Emperor was willing to listen, the Star Demon God Vashak coughed twice and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder if you have noticed that Her Highness Leng Xiao seems to have a crush on Lin Ze..."
Seeing that the Demon Emperor didn't speak, Vashak continued, "Since Her Highness Leng Xiao is like this, why don't we make it a good thing for them? You grant them a marriage, and at the same time order Lin Ze to hold an important position in the Demon Tribe. Slowly, he will naturally have a sense of belonging."
"From what I know about Her Highness Leng Xiao, although she is playful by nature, she is well aware of her identity when it comes to major issues and will not make trouble. With Her Highness Leng Xiao as the connection hub between the Demon Tribe and Lin Ze, the plan will surely go very smoothly."
"Have you forgotten that Lin Ze and Yue Ye are engaged?" said the Demon Emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Demon Clan doesn't practice monogamy."
"Plus, Princess Yue Ye and His Highness Leng Xiao are already close friends. Plus, this concerns the future of the Demon Clan, so I'm sure Agares understands..."
"Are you so sure he can deal with Austin Griffin? You'd go to such lengths for him?"
"Your Majesty, for the future of the Demon Clan, this is what I should do."
"After countless deductions, I've concluded that only by keeping Lin Ze within the Demon Clan can we ensure its survival."
"Hmph, that depends on whether he's worthy." Demon Emperor Feng Xiu waved his arm and vanished into the Star Demon Palace with a hint of anger.
Star Demon God Vashak, however, breathed a sigh of relief. At least the Demon Emperor hadn't denied his intentions.
All that remained was whether Lin Ze could pass Demon Emperor Feng Xiu's test.
"Forget it, let's talk to my second brother first."
...
...
Five days later.
Inside the Demon Emperor Palace.
The Sun, Moon, and Star Gods had gathered.
Lin Ze and his companions, returning from Zhennan Pass, were also there.
At this moment, A-Bao was reporting the details of the group's progress.
"Father, this is everything I know about what happened in Dream Paradise. As for how Lin Ze later brought back the godhood, it was due to my incompetence, as I passed out during the battle..."
Upon hearing A-Bao's description, a flicker of disappointment crossed the eyes of the Demon Emperor Feng Xiu.
"After this is over, go to the Bloody Purgatory on your own."
Everyone present gasped at the Demon Emperor Feng Xiu's words.
It's not an exaggeration to say that it's the graveyard of the rebellious Demon Dragon Clan.
Although Leng Xiao felt a little sorry for her brother, she also understood that things would get even more dangerous next. She also wanted to plead for A-Bao, but she couldn't make Feng Xiu angry at this time.
After dealing with A-Bao, the Demon Emperor Feng Xiu looked at Lin Ze and said slowly: "Lin Ze, you have done a great service by bringing back the Godhead. Hand it over!"
As soon as the Demon Emperor Feng Xiu said this, the scene suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Seeing that the Demon Emperor Feng Xiu did not directly expose the blood contract, the Star Demon God Vashak was also waiting for a reasonable explanation from Lin Ze.
The Star Demon God Vashak glanced at Lin Ze and could only pray in his heart that Lin Ze could come up with a reasonable explanation.
At this time, Leng Xiao and others also felt nervous. They all knew that Lin Ze could not hand over the Godhead at all!
Only A-Bao remained bewildered. He looked at Lin Ze, who remained unresponsive, and said, "Why are you in a daze? Father asked you to hand over your godhood." Although A-Bao had woken up in the Demon City, he was grateful to Lin Ze for saving him from Cai'er in Dream Paradise.
So, he spoke up.
Seeing this, Lin Ze said bluntly, "Ye Xiaolei, come out."
As Lin Ze finished speaking, a flash of emerald green light emanated from between his brows, and Ye Xiaolei appeared beside him.
Ye Xiaolei, a god, stood beside Lin Ze with dignity, gazing at the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu before him.
At this moment, Lin Ze continued, "Your Majesty, this is the incarnation of the Goddess of Nature, named 'Ye Xiaolei.'"
"But I cannot hand her over to you!"
"Lin Ze, what are you talking about?" A-Bao's heart nearly leaped at Lin Ze's words. He had never seen anyone speak to the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu in such a way.
Lin Ze ignored A-Bao and stared directly at the Demon God Emperor, declaring, "I have signed a blood pact with her."
Lin Ze's words resonated like thunder in everyone's ears, and everyone immediately turned in the direction of the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu.
Even Sidi, standing nearby, felt her spiritual energy surge. If the Demon God Emperor truly intended to attack Lin Ze, she would have no choice but to risk forcibly taking him away.
Although her strength hadn't fully recovered due to the damage to the Demon God Pillar, she couldn't bear to watch the Demon God Emperor kill Lin Ze. Furthermore, she and Lin Ze still had a Master-Servant Contract.
If Lin Ze died, she would also be succumbed to the consequences of that contract.
Furthermore, they had already returned to the Demon Clan two days ago, and Sidi had made preparations, having set up numerous teleportation arrays along the way.
"You'd better give me a reason, or you'll die today."
The Demon God Emperor's tone was calm, but everyone present could sense a suffocating feeling.
Especially Leng Xiao and A-Bao, as Feng Xiu's children, they were all very familiar with each other.
This was a sign that the Demon Emperor was angry!
"Father..."
Leng Xiao was about to plead for Lin Ze, but Lin Ze beside her grabbed Leng Xiao.
Seeing this, Leng Xiao said nothing more.
Lin Ze withdrew his gaze and looked at the Demon Emperor Feng Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, with Ye Xiaolei's help, I am confident that I can defeat the enemy who threatens the survival of the Demon Clan!"
"Really?" Feng Xiu's tone sank, and a terrifying pressure fell on Lin Ze.
