Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress-Chapter 384 : The Former Beast Emperor, Lang Yuehong

Chapter 384 - The Former Beast Emperor, Lang Yuehong

"The Dragon Emperor is dead!!!"

"ROAR ROAR ROAR! We don't have to worry anymore!"

"We won!"

After the crowd of beast-people watched Long Chen carry Long Yao's corpse into the distance, they immediately erupted in heaven-shaking cheers.

The death of the Dragon Emperor meant that the chaotic Beast Realm was finally about to welcome peace.

The people of the Beast Realm had been waiting for this moment for a long, long time!

"Demon Lord, Lady Luo, this old man, on behalf of everyone in the Beast Realm, expresses my gratitude for your generous help!"

Hu Shan walked before Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying, tears streaming down his face as he bowed solemnly in gratitude.

He had thought the Beast Realm was bleak and without hope, but he never expected that due to the Demon Lord's appearance, he would be able to see a peaceful Beast Realm again in his lifetime.

"No need for thanks. This Lord acted only because of our agreement."

"This Lord has already fulfilled my promise. Shouldn't you also fulfill yours, Clan Chief Hu?"

Ning Yechen said calmly, looking at Hu Shan.

"Of course!"

"Demon Lord, please follow this old man."

Hu Shan made an inviting gesture and led the way into the Beast Emperor's Imperial Palace.

Crossing through the now-ruined palace, Hu Shan thought back carefully, then walked straight to a dusty and dilapidated bedchamber.

Walking into the chamber, Hu Shan's old face couldn't help but reveal a look of reminiscence.

Back when he was still the former Lord Beast Emperor's aide, this was her resting chamber.

Returning now, things had remained, but the person was gone.

After fumbling around for a moment, Hu Shan found a hidden compartment on the floor. After a light press, the seamlessly joined floor revealed a shimmering formation light, and a set of stairs leading underground appeared.

Hu Shan led Ning Yechen's group down and arrived before an ancient, dust-covered door.

The door was also painted with an ancient Beast Clan restriction.

"Demon Lord, the thing you want is inside."

"It's just that the former Lord Beast Emperor was proficient in ancient restrictions. This door is not something this old man can open."

"If it's forced open, it might trigger the destruction of this secret chamber…"

Hu Shan said with a troubled expression, standing before the door.

He was very worried that Ning Yechen might get angry because he couldn't open this door…

Ning Yechen looked up at the restriction on the door and said calmly, "Qingyou."

"Yes, Demon Lord."

Yue Qingyou slowly walked forward, touched the door with her palm, and spoke, "Release!"

As her voice fell, the ancient restriction on the door instantly dissipated.

Hu Shan was stunned speechless.

The ancient restriction painstakingly laid down by the former Lord Beast Emperor was so easily removed by a single word…?!

It seems his worries were completely unnecessary…

Cai Se and the others behind him were long since used to it.

They had already witnessed the power of Yue Qingyou's Word-Spirit before…

Before her, any formation or restriction was as good as non-existent, a matter of just one sentence.

The restriction was released, and the great door slowly opened on its own to both sides.

The moment the door opened a crack, a beautiful, bright red tail attacked!

Ning Yechen raised his hand and caught it steadily, his expression completely unfazed.

"Who are you people?"

"You don't look like you're from my Beast Realm?"

A cold and clear female voice came from within the great door.

After the door opened completely, a woman stood before Ning Yechen's group. She was draped in wolf fur, had a head of long, fiery red hair, and her posture was elegant and noble.

The woman had a pair of ears on her head, and her long, fluffy, bright red tail was held in Ning Yechen's hand.

Seeing the woman, Hu Shan was both surprised and overjoyed. He hurriedly stepped forward and prostrated himself on the ground.

"L-Lord Beast Emperor…?!"

"Hmm…? It's Hu Shan."

Lang Yuehong was also slightly surprised to see Hu Shan.

"Lord Beast Emperor, why are you here…"

Hu Shan asked, lifting his head in confusion.

Although the person before him was indeed the Lord Beast Emperor he knew, she was now just a remnant soul…

"As you can see, this Empress is just a remnant soul that has fled here."

"There isn't much time left now…"

Lang Yuehong said with a look of helplessness, raising her hand and looking at her own increasingly ethereal and illusory palm.

"Lord Beast Emperor…"

Hearing this, old tears streamed down Hu Shan's face.

"There's no need to be sad for this Empress."

"In the Beast Realm, to lose is to die. This Empress can only blame myself for not being skilled enough."

Regarding her impending demise, Lang Yuehong did not have much regret or hatred. Instead, she was more concerned about another matter.

It was also because of this concern in her heart that she had been hiding here all this time.

"Hu Shan, this Empress asks you, what is the situation in the Beast Realm now…?"

Lang Yuehong asked cautiously.

"Lord Beast Emperor, after you perished, the Dragon Emperor succeeded your position."

"The Beast Realm has been in a state of chaos and conflict for over a hundred years!"

"But you need not worry. With the help of the Demon Lord, the Dragon Emperor is now dead, and the Beast Realm has returned to peace…!"

Hu Shan informed her solemnly, his heart full of joy.

"Oh…?"

"The Demon Lord?”

Lang Yuehong, hearing this, asked with some surprise.

"That's right, Lord Beast Emperor!"

"This is the Lord Demon Lord from the Demon Realm, as well as his wife and attendants."

Hu Shan got up from the ground and solemnly introduced Ning Yechen and the others to Lang Yuehong.

"So you are the Demon Lord…"

"No wonder…"

Lang Yuehong gazed at Ning Yechen, her expression slightly surprised.

With just one glance, she knew deep down that even in her prime, she would be no match for the person before her!

"I wonder if the Demon Lord would be so kind as to let go of this Empress's tail~?"

"The Demon Lord may not know, but in the Beast Realm, a wolf's tail is not something just anyone can touch~"

Lang Yuehong asked in a charming voice.

Luo Ruying, hearing this, immediately turned her head to stare at Ning Yechen.

To show his innocence and that he really didn't know, Ning Yechen hurriedly let go.

"Sorry, my husband was rude."

Luo Ruying bowed slightly to Lang Yuehong to express her apology, and at the same time, to declare her own status.

She is the Demon Lord's wife!

Lang Yuehong, while gently stroking her tail, looked at Luo Ruying and Ning Yechen with great interest.

One from the Immortal Clan, one from the Demon Clan, with a little girl who looked to be their child… Truly interesting…!

"Sorry, this Empress also apologizes for the rudeness just now."

Lang Yuehong also bowed slightly to express her apology, then asked:

“This Empress is very grateful to the Lord Demon Lord for quelling the chaos in my Beast Realm. I presume the Lord Demon Lord must have come here for something?"

Ning Yechen didn't waste words. He took out the other half of the ancient secret scroll fragment from his immortal ring and let it float in mid-air.

The moment she saw the ancient secret scroll fragment, Lang Yuehong was instantly shocked, and she immediately understood why Ning Yechen had come.

Ning Yechen looked at Lang Yuehong and asked directly:

"I've heard that the other half of this Beast Realm's ancient secret treasure scroll fragment is in your hands?"

Lang Yuehong's eyes narrowed slightly. She didn't answer, but instead glanced at Hu Shan.

Needless to say, she knew it must have been Hu Shan who told the Demon Lord. Because out of trust, she had only ever told Hu Shan about this place.

Hu Shan hurriedly lowered his head and told Lang Yuehong the whole story. For the peace of the Beast Realm, he had agreed to the Demon Lord's request to help him find this other half of the ancient secret map…
