Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress-Chapter 359 : How Could Such a Small Matter Trouble You and Lady Yue to Act Personally!

Chapter 359 - How Could Such a Small Matter Trouble You and Lady Yue to Act Personally!

Several days later.

Since the annihilation of the Pig Demon Clan, the Southern Clan Alliance's momentum was unstoppable as they pushed north. In just a few short days, they had not only quelled the chaos in the south but had also seen other clans continuously join them, greatly strengthening their forces.

The southern clans under the Dragon Emperor's command also realized the situation was dire and hurriedly gathered together, preparing to face the Southern Clan Alliance in a combined effort.

Before the natural chasm of the abyss, a necessary path to the north, the great army of over a hundred thousand, gathered from the various clans, blocked the path of the Southern Clan Alliance. Among them were the relatively powerful Bull Demon Clan, Snake Demon Clan, and Ape Demon Clan.

"Everyone, the current Beast Emperor is cruel and inhumane. The things she has done have angered the Beast Gods, and her end will surely be destruction!"

"There is no need for you all to kill each other for that cruel Dragon Emperor, to sacrifice the lives of your clansmen in vain!"

"Join us and resist the Dragon Emperor together!"

Hu Shan, as the current commander of the Southern Clan Alliance, stood before his army and persuaded the opposing side with impassioned words.

Due to the chaos, many clans in the Beast Realm had already been annihilated, and many more were endangered and scarce, their situations precarious.

If the two armies of these great clans were to truly fight, it would inevitably result in another river of blood, with corpses littering the fields…

Who knows how many more wives would be separated from their husbands, and children from their parents, forever…

If they could reduce casualties and persuade the other side without a major battle, that would be the best choice.

However, not every persuasion is successful. The clan chiefs gathered this time were all staunch supporters of the current Dragon Emperor and did not believe in the so-called Demon Lord at all.

"Old thing, stop joking."

"With just you lot, you want to resist the great Lord Dragon Emperor! You don't know life from death!"

"The Beast Realm of today is how we wished it to be!"

"Don't you have some Demon Lord? Why don't you let him come out~"

"We'd like to see just how powerful that Demon Lord is!"

"He isn't scared and hiding because he saw us, is he!"

Seeing that the opposing crowd not only showed no remorse but even dared to speak contemptuously of the Demon Lord, Hu Shan couldn't help but shake his head in regret.

They originally had a sliver of a chance to live, but the moment they spoke those words, their fate was already sealed… Even if the Demon Lord didn't mind, another person would not let them off…

"Rip. A. Part!"

Yue Qingyou, maintaining the posture of a handmaiden, stood respectfully by Ning Yechen's side, her beautiful eyes gazing coldly at the few clan chiefs who had just spoken contemptuously of him.

As her voice fell, under the watch of their own men, the bodies of the several clan chiefs were torn into pieces like paper without any warning!

The others who had been jeering along were instantly stunned by this scene, their faces filled with terror. They had no idea what had happened, and their clan chiefs were all dead! At this moment, an endless fear arose in their hearts.

Even the clan chiefs of the Southern Clan Alliance were secretly watching Yue Qingyou with faces full of fear.

This woman's terror lay in her ability: the moment she spoke, her words became law, directly deciding the life or death of her target!

After simply dealing with the several clan chiefs, Yue Qingyou took the opportunity to instruct the dazed Hu Tutu beside her:

"Remember, in the future, if any ants who don't know life from death dare to disrespect the Little Princess, defending her and the prestige of the Demon Realm is also a duty that a personal handmaiden must fulfill!"

"You must inflict upon those ants the punishment and pain they deserve!"

"Understand?"

"I-I understand!" Hu Tutu, trembling with fear, hurriedly nodded and replied.

Although she committed Yue Qingyou's teachings to memory, she couldn't help but doubt herself.

In the future, could she really become like Lady Yue…

Yue Qingyou turned her gaze to Ning Yechen beside her and, bowing slightly, asked:

"Demon Lord, shall I clean up the rest of them?"

The moment these words were spoken, the surrounding crowd's faces were filled with terror, and a chill ran down their spines.

This woman actually wanted to spare not a single one of the remaining army of over a hundred thousand…?!

Cai Se and the other two had been by Yue Qingyou's side for a long time and were well aware of her terror. As long as she spoke one more sentence, she could immediately cause that entire army of over a hundred thousand to die tragically!

Not to mention over a hundred thousand beast-people; even if it were over a hundred thousand demon-people, as long as they dared to disrespect the Demon Lord, she would kill them directly without hesitation!

Just as Ning Yechen was hesitating and pondering, Cai Se hurriedly stepped forward with Meng Niu and Bai Yuan, patting her chest as she proactively volunteered:

"D-Demon Lord! How could such a small matter trouble you and Lady Yue to act personally!"

"Right, right, right, let us handle it this time!"

"We've been wanting to contribute our strength for you!"

"I happen to have a score to settle with them!"

Hu Shan, at the side, also hurriedly chimed in:

"Demon Lord, among the opposing army are many from the Bull Demon Clan, the Snake Demon Clan, and the Ape Demon Clan. Perhaps a life-and-death challenge can be issued."

"Many of them were actually just forced to submit under the fearsome reputation of the current Beast Emperor and their own clan chiefs."

"As long as we defeat their clan chiefs and become the new leaders, I believe the others will be willing to submit and join the ranks of the resistance against the Beast Emperor!"

The life-and-death challenge was a traditional custom passed down in the Beast Realm since ancient times.

A large clan often included numerous branches, numbering from tens of thousands to as many as several hundred thousand.

Take the Bull Demon Clan for example: the Ancient Chaos Demon Bull, the Great Strength Divine Bull, the Monolith Giant Bull, and so on. A large clan was composed of many other branches that were also bull demons but belonged to other beast-type lineages.

These large clans with many branches would often have a certain amount of friction and conflict, or would vie for the position of chief to lead the entire clan.

In such situations, to ensure they didn't kill each other, a public life-and-death challenge would be held. The challenger who wanted to seize the position of chief needed to defeat and kill the current chief! There could only be one great chief to lead a clan, so the challenge would only end when one of the two parties was dead! 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

As long as one killed the current chief and won the victory in front of all the other demons, he would be the recognized next chief.

At this moment, the vast majority of the demons before them were composed of the Bull Demon Clan, the Snake Demon Clan, and the Ape Demon Clan. Cai Se and the other two could be considered members of their respective clan branches and were qualified to issue a life-and-death challenge!

As long as Cai Se and the other two were victorious in their challenge, they would become the new chiefs leading these three great clans. They could then lead the three clans to join the crusade against the Beast Emperor! This would minimize casualties and also strengthen the forces of the rebellion!

But if either Ning Yechen or Yue Qingyou were to act, probably not a single one of the hundred thousand-strong beast army would be left alive…

Ning Yechen thought for a moment, then nodded with great interest.

"Alright…"

"Since you all want to step up so badly, then I'll leave it to you.”
