World-Ending Demon Emperor-Chapter 1942 - 880: Reunion with Ashi Liren!

Perhaps Emperor Di Nie, the Witch Queen, and the Wing King all swore that they would only truly pledge allegiance after Lanling had completely inherited the position of Demon Emperor.

Because the lesson from the previous betrayal by Yao Xing was simply too painful.

But now... everything be damned.

What principles? What need to inherit the title of Demon Emperor before swearing allegiance? Everything be damned.

All three of them are idealists, who regard the revival of demon civilization as their life’s mission. And here is a master of Yao Xing, knowing full well that this is a well-laid trap, still barges in, and does so with just a few dozen people.

This is the leader of the Demon Race, this is the master of the Demon Race!

So, all rules are thrown aside, they kneel down directly to show their loyalty!

The Witch Queen kisses the back of Lanling’s hand, and then leaves her vivid red lips imprinted there, not moving away.

Her peerless beauty is indeed only matched by Na Xue and Di Nie.

And compared to her figure, her beauty is not much.

Compared to her aura, what does her figure matter?

She exudes two distinct auras: the aura of ice and fire.

With an aura as cold as frost, impervious to violation. But the fervor deep in her eyes, the fervor in her heart, is enough to burn everything.

Integrity, courage, nobility, magical allure, all concentrated in one woman.

Di Nie and Na Xue are indeed the most beautiful women in this world, equal to the Witch Queen, but they lack her mature charm.

"Have you ever had children?" Lanling asked.

"No, Your Majesty!" replied the Witch Queen.

"What is your name?" Lanling asked.

The Witch Queen said, "Daji!"

This name sounds exactly like the fox spirit in the Investiture of the Gods.

But Lanling believes that the fox spirit in the Investiture of the Gods, be it in looks, charm, or figure, is no match for the Witch Queen Daji before him.

"Your Excellency Wing King!" Lanling looked toward the Wing King.

This man, as tall and upright as a mountain but scarred all over, was once the backbone of the entire Northern Barbaric Lands. In his life, he never broke through to Sub-King, yet he became the leader of the Northern Barbarian Tribes resisting the Bloodsucking Demon Race.

"Your Majesty!" The Wing King bowed his head. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"In the Northern Barbaric Lands, are there still the four great Demon Kings?" Lanling asked.

Although they all belonged to the Demon Race, his knowledge of the Northern Barbaric Lands was almost zero.

The Wing King said, "All have surrendered to Emperor Moda, becoming his slaves."

Lanling said, "Then why do you persist in resisting Emperor Moda?"

The Wing King said, "Your Majesty, first I must correct a statement. The reason I could resist the Motuo Empire for decades is not because of the strength of the Winged Tribe, but because of Emperor Moda’s indulgence."

"How so?" Lanling asked.

The Wing King said, "Emperor Moda is an extremely outstanding leader, ruthless to the Near-Human Tribe and other races. But he is very tolerant toward the five major Demon Races of the Northern Barbaric Lands, especially to the leaders of the five major Demon Races. And among the five Demon Kings, he favors me and my Winged Tribe the most, which is the fundamental reason for my survival. Otherwise, with the strength of the Motuo Empire, I could not have persisted for decades."

Lanling said, "Please continue."

The Wing King said, "Regarding the revival of the Demon Race, Emperor Moda has his own strategic direction. He tries to become the new leader of the Demon Race, being very generous to the five Demon Kings. In fact, among his dozen or so Bloodsucking Demon Kings are four who were once the four great Demon Kings of the Northern Barbaric Lands. And if I didn’t head south, I too might have broken through Sub-King and become one of the Bloodsucking Demon Kings!"

Lanling said, "Then why did you not agree?"

The Wing King said, "Because he is not truly part of the Demon Race, despite his claim that the Bloodsucking Demon Race is a new form of Demon Race. Yet they carry on with an ancient tradition of the Bloodsucking Demon Kings. But we know that the ancient Bloodsucking Demon Race disrupted the ecological balance of the Demon Race and was exiled, forced to reform into ordinary Demon Race. The ancient Bloodsucking Demon King was even publicly executed by Emperor E Tian!"

Lanling had no knowledge of this part.

The Wing King continued, "Moreover, Emperor Moda’s Bloodsucking Demon Race does not even inherit the lineage of the ancient Bloodsucking Demon Kings, his origins are highly suspicious. Of course, all this is minor; the true reason why I reject him and even oppose him is his denial of the Demon Emperor being the supreme reality as the leader of the Demon Race!"

Lanling said, "What does he say?"

The Wing King said, "Emperor Moda insists that the so-called master of Yao Xing, the so-called Demon Emperor, is a conspiracy, a trap, a conspiracy lasting thousands of years. He insists that the so-called Demon Emperor is actually a puppet of the ultimate power of the Dragon Temple. At critical times, this Demon Emperor will destroy all that the Demon Race possesses, completely thwarting the revival of Demon civilization. He cites examples of Emperor E Tian and Emperor EYun who both, at the most crucial moments, failed just before success and mysteriously vanished. And the previous master of Yao Xing even betrayed the Demon Race and became the Dragon Emperor!"

Lanling said, "His statement is not without persuasion!"

The Wing King said, "He insists on pursuing a new path for the revival of the Demon Race, attacking the Demon Emperor as a conspiracy, as a corrupted tradition, a hindrance to the progress of Demon civilization. This is our fundamental contradiction! In the tradition of the Winged Tribe, the demon world always has only one supreme leader, who is the master of Yao Xing, the Demon Emperor Your Majesty! Because the Demon Emperor Your Majesty has acquired the power and will of the Ancient Gods and Demons, he is the symbol of faith for the entire Demon Race! The Demon Emperor defines the Demon Race, and the Demon Race defines the Demon Emperor. To deny the Demon Emperor is to deny the entire Demon Race. Thus, my conflict with Emperor Moda is irreconcilable, is uncompromising."

Lanling said, "And in fact, you are still fairly good friends?"

The Wing King said, "Yes, indeed my last move leading the Winged Tribe south was at his suggestion. If he wanted to wipe out the Winged Tribe, we wouldn’t have had the chance to head south."

Lanling nodded, saying, "I know what you want to express, but look at Na Xue, and it says much about Emperor Moda. Future matters will be dealt with in the future."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Wing King said.

Then, Lanling looked towards the Crown Prince of the Winged Tribe, this exceptionally handsome youth, who might already be in his thirties or forties.

"Your Majesty!" The Crown Prince of the Winged Tribe bowed his head.

Lanling said, "You look familiar."

The Crown Prince of the Winged Tribe was taken aback, not knowing what Lanling meant.

Lanling said, "We shall speak later, perhaps I can give you a great surprise."

Then, Lanling said, "And Ashi Liren?"

The Witch Queen said, "She never attends meetings; once a decision is made, just inform her."

Lanling said, "I... will go see her!"

...

Ashi Liren remains the same as before, indifferent to all affairs, most of the time just sitting on the ground, sometimes practicing cultivation, other times just idly staring into space.

As the Witch Queen said, once decisions are made, just inform her; she never participates in any decision-making.

In the Human Kingdom, it was the same; Lanling was responsible for thinking, while she was responsible for acting with her fists.

Indeed, with fists. In the Human Kingdom, many times she didn’t use weapons; she would wear gloves and swing her fists to take lives.

A goddess cold as ice, yet possessing a battle style as straightforward as Mai Shiranui.

Today, the Witch Queen and Emperor Di Nie sacrificed many lives to tear open a gap in the encirclement for her and the Crown Prince of the Winged Tribe to lead the new generation of Samurai to break out and escape.

But in the end, she refused!

Actually, she still had unfinished matters!

The first matter, she hadn’t rescued her son Ashi Yuanba yet, whom she was most concerned about in this world, despite not being her biological son, and she and Ashi Luo weren’t biological siblings, Ashi Yuanba was her lifeblood.

The second matter, she hadn’t found Suo Lun yet.

Alright, the second matter wasn’t that accurate. Upon initially arriving in the Southern Barbaric Lands, she indeed often left the Witch Kingdom, venturing deep into various territories of the Demon Race to search for Suo Lun’s whereabouts.

But one day, the master Witch Queen said to stop looking, and then she stopped looking.

Two reasons for stopping the search. The first reason, Suo Lun had died. The second reason, Suo Lun hadn’t died, had been found.

Ashi Liren favored the second reason, knowing Suo Lun hadn’t died was enough for her, and then she would wait for Suo Lun to find her instead of seeking him.
