Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress-Chapter 387 : It Was This Lord Who Gave the Courage!

Chapter 387 - It Was This Lord Who Gave the Courage!

As Cai Se's voice fell, a dead silence descended upon the grand hall.

The crowd of beast clan chiefs looked at each other.

Cai Se's heart was extremely nervous at this moment, but she absolutely could not show it. She maintained a cold face and gazed at the crowd.

At this moment, her aura absolutely could not be weaker than others!

Soon, someone in the crowd took the lead in expressing dissatisfaction.

Tie Xi pushed aside the people in front of him and, with heavy steps that shook the ground, walked to the base of the platform where Cai Se stood.

"I disagree!"

"The former Lord Beast Emperor died over a hundred years ago! We never heard of any decree being left behind!"

"This is probably fake!"

"Taking a huge step back, even if it's real, on what grounds!"

"With your Immortal Sovereign realm cultivation, you're only fit to be the chief of the Snake Demon Clan! What qualifications do you have to hold the position of Beast Emperor!"

"Who gave you the courage!"

After speaking, Tie Xi's beastly aura erupted, shattering the clothes on his body and revealing a sturdy frame as tough as armor. His cultivation aura reached the Immortal Emperor realm!

Considering the strength and seniority of the various great clans in the current Beast Realm, the position of Beast Emperor should have been his turn!

Several other clan chiefs nearby, who had already secretly aligned themselves with the Rhinoceros Clan chief, immediately chimed in:

"I think the chief of the Snake Demon Clan is still too young and is not suitable to hold the position of Beast Emperor."

"Exactly. Insufficient strength also makes it difficult to convince the people of the Beast Realm."

"I think the chief of the Rhinoceros Clan is very suitable!"

"What do you all think?"

After speaking, the several clan chiefs threw the question back to the other clan chiefs present.

The crowd fell silent for a moment, their expressions hesitant.

The Rhinoceros Clan's current strength in the Beast Realm was considered among the top tier; they did not want to offend them easily.

But Cai Se was, after all, the successor personally appointed by the former Lord Beast Emperor, and she also had Hu Shan's strong support.

To have gained the recognition of the former Lord Beast Emperor and Hu Shan, logically she should be qualified to succeed the position.

The crowd was caught in a difficult choice.

Cai Se was already nervously clenching her fists in secret, unable to help but resent her own lack of strength.

If she had reached the Immortal Emperor realm, she could have easily controlled today's situation.

She wouldn't be looked down upon and pressured by Tie Xi like this!

Just as the grand hall was in dead silence, a cold voice sounded from outside.

"This Lord thinks not."

Hearing the voice, Cai Se's face instantly lit up with joy, and the worries in her heart vanished in a puff of smoke.

The crowd of clan chiefs, however, shivered in unison and turned their heads towards the entrance of the hall.

They saw Ning Yechen's peerless, world-defying, graceful figure slowly walk into the grand hall. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

He had thought that with Hu Shan present and the Imperial Seal in hand, it wouldn't be much trouble.

He hadn't expected to have underestimated the determination of those in the Beast Realm who coveted the position of Beast Emperor; things had not gone so smoothly.

Looks like he still had to step in...

"D-Demon Lord...!"

"Demon Lord, although our Beast Clan is very grateful to you for quelling the chaos in the Beast Realm, the position of Beast Emperor is an internal affair of our clan...!"

"For you to interfere like this, isn't it inappropriate!"

Tie Xi swallowed and, bracing himself, spoke to Ning Yechen.

Ning Yechen gave Tie Xi a cold glance, and Tie Xi was instantly too scared to say another word.

"This Lord is not interfering in the affairs of the Beast Realm, merely here to back up my subordinate."

"Let's see who dares to bully this Lord's person?"

Ning Yechen's voice wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of everyone in the grand hall.

Hearing this, a chill ran through everyone's hearts, their legs trembling uncontrollably.

Especially those who had opposed Cai Se just now and proclaimed their support for Tie Xi; they were too scared to even breathe.

The Demon Lord's words sounded nice, but in reality, he was clearly stating his support for Cai Se to succeed the throne!

"This Lord seems to have heard you ask who gave her the courage just now, right?"

"Then let this Lord tell you."

Ning Yechen's icy gaze fixed on Tie Xi. He clenched his hand lightly, and Tie Xi, with his tough iron hide, didn't even have time to utter a word before instantly turning into a pool of flesh and blood!

The splashing blood sprayed onto the bodies and faces of the others nearby!

"I told you, it was this Lord who gave the courage!"

"Now, does anyone else have any questions?"

Ning Yechen slowly brought his hand back behind him and asked calmly, gazing at the crowd.

The crowd was already scared half to death and shook their heads repeatedly.

Tie Xi's blood was still warm on their faces!

Who would dare have any questions!

"Very good~"

"This Lord said I wouldn't interfere in the affairs of the Beast Realm. The rest is up to you."

Ning Yechen nodded with satisfaction and casually stood to the side.

Doing this much should be enough.

The rest could be handled by Cai Se herself.

Cai Se looked towards Ning Yechen, who was leaning against a stone pillar, her face full of gratitude and admiration.

Master's actions are still so domineering and unreasonable…

With Ning Yechen's backing, Cai Se felt an unprecedented sense of ease in her heart. She spoke loudly with determination and sincerity:

"Fellow Clan Chiefs, I, Cai Se, swear here that I will inherit the will of the former Lord Beast Emperor, maintain the peace of the Beast Realm, and protect the people of the Beast Clan!"

"With you all as witnesses, I will become the Beast Emperor recognized by the people of the Beast Realm!"

"I hope for your support!"

Cai Se's words were impassioned and resonant, moving the hearts of the clan chiefs.

At this moment, the Beast Realm, having experienced unbearable chaos, desperately needed a Beast Emperor like the former one to lead them!

"I, Hu Shan of the Fox Clan, pledge the loyalty of the Fox Demon Clan to Lord Beast Emperor!"

Hu Shan was the first to prostrate himself at Cai Se's feet, solemnly swearing allegiance.

With Hu Shan taking the lead, the remaining clan chiefs also knelt and bowed their heads one by one.

Even those who were unwilling in their hearts, seeing the situation and with the Demon Lord present, hurriedly knelt and swore allegiance.

They were afraid that if they were a step too late, the Demon Lord would casually crush them to death too…

Seeing everyone in the grand hall bow in submission, Cai Se couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.

Having reached this point, she was now considered the Beast Emperor of the Beast Realm!

"In the name of the Beast Emperor, I order the Rhinoceros Clan to relocate to the barren lands and be responsible for cultivating them and planting forests!"

The first thing Cai Se did after becoming the Beast Emperor was to issue the order to banish the entire Rhinoceros Clan to the barren lands, her voice cold.

"Yes!"

Everyone understood clearly.

It was obvious that due to Tie Xi's actions just now, the new Lord Beast Emperor was making an example of them!

The few other clan chiefs who had proclaimed their support for the Rhinoceros Clan couldn't help but lower their heads, trembling.

Cai Se looked down at those few chiefs and extended her hand with a gentle smile.

"As for you, fellow chiefs, now is the time the Beast Realm needs your strength. Past matters will no longer be pursued."

"This Empress still needs your assistance."

"Are you all willing to serve the Beast Realm and this Empress?"

"We are willing! We swear to follow Lord Beast Emperor to the death!"

Hearing this, the several chiefs were deeply moved in their hearts and hurriedly kowtowed to express their loyalty.

Compared to the Rhinoceros Clan, who were forced to relocate and cultivate the barren lands, for them to receive such pardon was already a rare and precious thing.

Ning Yechen stood at the side and nodded with slight approval.

Knowing how to use both grace and power, how to win people's hearts, Cai Se already possessed some of the aura and status of a Beast Emperor…
