Chapter 1201: Chapter 503: Zhiyu Shall Be the New Master of the Ancient Court_2

Zheng Dongliu lowered his gaze slightly: "This is the final battle; it’s either you die or I live. I won’t be the one to drag the Human Clan down."

He looked towards the other Demon Saints: "At that time, your descendants will have to come to the Wandao Sect to redeem themselves."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand slightly, signaling readiness for action.

Because he knew deep down that there were demons who would rather die than surrender.

But at the sound of Zheng Dongliu’s voice, an uncontrollable anger surfaced in the eyes of the Dragon Saints.

Go to Wandao Sect to redeem?

What a joke!

Not to mention the immense price to be paid, but to go humbly to Wandao Sect to beg—doesn’t this rub the dignity of the demons, led by the Dragon and Phoenix, into the ground?

Now that Demon Lord Zhu Tianqi is dead, it indeed proves that the demons lost this war, but how could they possibly bow and beg before the Hundred Clans, all for the sake of the pride in their bloodline and their superior overall strength?

If that’s the case...

Many Demon Saints began to show killing intent in their eyes. Instead of bowing and begging, which would cost the demons millennia of destiny, it would be better to break the cauldron and sink the boat now, scattering the destiny of both clans and letting other clans take advantage!

Especially... before this war, the Demon Lord also sent some Demon Saints to infiltrate the Human Clan through the Tongtian Immortal Dynasty. Although their strength was not up to par with those who stayed by Zhu Tianqi’s side, with so many elite Human Clan members in action, the Human Clan’s rear likely wouldn’t be able to withstand them either.

But no news had come yet.

Given this, it would be better to seize the opportunity to fight it out, at worst using the entire Human Clan as a burial!

Most Demon Saints, looking discreetly at each other, began to have their Demon Energy gradually sweep over them.

Lu Jin’an glanced at the many Demon Saints, then gave the Cang Qinglong Saint a look.

Cang Qinglong Saint took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Sect Master Lu, is this also your intention?"

Lu Jin’an pushed Zhiyu forward: "Zhu Zhiyu... she shall become the new ruler of the Ancient Court, commanding all demons!"

Zhiyu stood with her hands on her hips.

Hearing this, the faces of many Dragon Saints immediately showed expressions of eagerness.

With the Ancestor Dragon dead, and now that Zhiyu possesses the purest ancestral bloodline, the sole Candle Dragon remaining, if she were to take the reins of the Ancient Court...

Whether speaking of her bloodline or title, it seemed she’d be indisputable.

Although Zhiyu is Lu Jin’an’s apprentice, stepping back a thousand steps, it was still the Dragon Clan that would lead the Ancient Court.

And who knows what the future might hold?

After all, the saying ’If they are not of my clan, their heart surely differs’ didn’t persist without reason.

Furthermore, since Lu Jin’an said so, he would surely ensure Zhiyu firmly takes the position of Demon Lord, and wouldn’t overly disregard the dignity of the Dragon and Phoenix.

Moreover, the longer Zhiyu remains in the Ancient Court, her bloodline might incline more towards the Dragon Clan, making it possible for a new rise in the future...

This uncertain future silenced more and more Dragon Saints, and those Demon Saints aligned with the Dragon Clan, seeing this, also fell silent.

Cang Qinglong Saint, seeing this, sighed inwardly.

This performance by Zheng Dongliu and Lu Jin’an, though transparent as a strategy to the Dragon and Phoenix, in the face of hope for survival and potential to retaliate against the Human Clan in the future, made a desperate battle seem like a joke.

Cang Qinglong Saint knew deep down that today, no matter the cost, striking down these Human Clan members would be the best move, but she no longer wished to gamble, so she wouldn’t step forward for the demons now.

Watching with red-rimmed, prideful eyes, Cang Qinglong Saint took two steps forward, then slowly asked: "She is simple-minded, is she willing?"

This silly one, couldn’t possibly leave Lu Jin’an’s side, much less govern the Ancient Court of demons?

Just as Lu Jin’an was about to speak, Zhiyu decisively declared first: "There is, of course, no problem."

Amidst her cool and aloof voice, Dragon Qi enveloped Zhiyu, changing her Immortal Clothes in an instant, fitting her frame.

As the Dragon Qi dissipated, the over two-meter-tall Zhiyu, though still at the realm of a Dragon Emperor, possessed a sovereign Dragon Clan pressure from the Candle Dragon’s bloodline.

Cang Qinglong Saint and Biluo Dragon Saint looked on in disbelief at this surprising transformation of Zhiyu.

Her demeanor, her gaze, her tone...

The Zhiyu standing here had a normal state of mind!

But exposing herself like this in front of the Human Clan, would Lu Jin’an retract his previous intentions?

"I shall govern the Ancient Court, Sect Master Lu need not worry."

Zhiyu gave Lu Jin’an a slight, knowing smile: "Sect Master Lu, you have worked hard during this time."

She looked as though she were an undercover figure in Wandao Sect, using Lu Jin’an to kill Zhu Tianqi, ultimately reaping the benefits for herself.

Many Dragon Saints exchanged subtle glances, joy rising in their hearts.

The unfortunate thing was, although Zhiyu bore the Candle Dragon bloodline and transformed into this domineering form, without a change in realm, she was still merely a Dragon Emperor.

Such cultivation, at this moment here, means nothing.

Shangguan Qizheng and the others glanced at Zhiyu with surprise; this was unexpected. Did Lu Jin’an know about this?

Many eyes turned towards Lu Jin’an. Lu Jin’an looked at Zhiyu and smiled indifferently, "Zhiyu, come down!"

Floating in midair with an overwhelming presence, Zhiyu opened her mouth slightly, and under the curious gaze of the Human and Demon Clans, she transformed back into the appearance of a little girl, confusedly returning to Lu Jin’an’s side.

"If you want to reclaim your Demon Lord and these Bloodline, come to Wandao Sect!"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Jin’an placed a hand on Zhiyu’s small shoulder, turned around without saying a word, and ascended into the sky.

The surrounding Human Clan Divine Concealment made way for Lu Jin’an, looking at him with awe.

Although they didn’t arrive here immediately, the power display of Lu Jin’an and Zhu Tianqi was immense!

The clash of Spiritual Power and Dragon Qi could make them feel who was dominant.

And in the end... the one who survived was Sect Master Lu.

While the so-called Holy Emperor Li Chengshi of Tongtian Immortal Dynasty was easily killed, like a stray dog by the roadside.

Such strength, shines through the ages.

The Demon Clan All Saints watched the retreating Human Clan Cultivators and did not stop them.

At this moment, it was not just because of fear, but because they saw hope for Zhiyu to rule the Ancient Court.

The Candle Dragon’s Bloodline still remains, it’s not lost yet!

Cang Qinglong Saint lowered her eyes slightly; Zhu Tianqi was dead now, and she, having cared for Zhiyu for many years and being the eldest, now held significant power.

"Capture these Human Clan Upper Realm cultivators."

She spoke softly, "Wandao Sect needs their lives."

These words triggered immediate action from the Demon Clan All Saints.

Cang Qinglong Saint and Bi Luo Dragon Saint stood beside Zhu Tianqi’s corpse.

The deceased Zhu Tianqi retained his Dragon-man form, not reverting back to the giant dragon.

Looking at Zhu Tianqi’s face frozen in disbelief, Cang Qinglong Saint and Bi Luo Dragon Saint’s eyes were complicated.

The death of the Dragon Clan’s mighty leader had something to do with them too.

After all, if they had handed over Zhiyu earlier, perhaps everything would be different.

The thought crossed her mind, prompting Cang Qinglong Saint to close her eyes and raise her right hand, with azure Dragon Qi swirling in her palm.

Now, the Dragon Soul Hall was destroyed along with Zhu Tianqi; the only option was to annihilate Zhu Tianqi’s flesh.

But just at the moment she was about to act, a sudden gale snuffed out the wind blade at her fingertips.

Cang Qinglong Saint’s face changed, and she took two steps back instinctively upon seeing the woman in red appear before her.

"You are..."

Before she could finish her words, black energy surged from Zhu Tianqi’s body into the sky. In just an instant, the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy was tainted with a listless Death Qi.

This is... Dark Matter!

The faces of the Demon Saints present changed dramatically, as Zheng Dongliu and others in the distance looked over in disbelief.

Why would Dark Matter appear here!?

"Star Shifting."

Beside Zhu Tianqi’s corpse, Lu Yunzhu was enveloped in Spiritual Power; as the Great Dao flowed, the region spanning several dozen miles, along with the emanating Dark Matter, vanished in an instant.

Hidden Life Mountain, Tongtian Immortal Dynasty, Capital.

Lu Yunzhu stood with hands behind his back on the rooftop, calmly watching the Dark Matter before him.

High above the nine heavens, the Black Phoenix spread its wings.

Then it transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and swooped down, landing opposite Lu Yunzhu, on the other side of the Dark Matter.

Lu Yunzhu’s expression suddenly darkened, "What are you doing here?"

Huang Ningshang smiled softly and said, "I won’t disturb you, just preparing to send some medicine to that child...

The child is badly injured~"

After a pause, she continued with a meaningful tone, "I know you can’t leave here now...

See you again~"
