World-Ending Demon Emperor-Chapter 2069 - 966: Ji Xiuning’s Humiliation! Demon Emperor’s Overwhelming Might!

Chapter 2069: Chapter 966: Ji Xiuning’s Humiliation! Demon Emperor’s Overwhelming Might!

"The recent decision from the Sky Holy Palace: Whoever can go to the Flame Demon Empire and persuade Lanling to sign a peace agreement, even if only for five years, will be promoted to a Sky Priest," said Gu Ban.

At this moment, Ji Xiuning’s scalp was tingling; she was completely shocked by the news of Lanling becoming the Demon Emperor. Hearing Gu Ban’s words, she seemed to suddenly wake up and said, "I won’t go, I won’t go."

This was a voice she had never used before.

She was always calm, even when Gray Gu was about to kill her. But now, her voice was so sharp.

Gu Ban said, "Isn’t serving the Dragon Temple your mission? Besides, I think you’re very suitable to go, after all, you and Lanling have had two children together."

Mentioning the children didn’t help. At the time, in order to escape, she abandoned her three biological children and even poisoned them, forcing Empress Dienie to release her.

Instantly, Ji Xiuning coldly said, "Teacher, I know what you mean by finding me. I am the person Lanling hates the most, so it’s not to make me an envoy, but to be presented as a gift for Lanling to vent his rage on. Only after he vents can you proceed to negotiate."

"You’re overthinking it," said Priest Gu Ban of the Sky.

Ji Xiuning said, "The person Lanling hates the most should be Zhi Yan, right? Why not let her go? Why do I have to go? Unless it’s a direct order from the Sky Holy Palace, I refuse to go."

These words tore the facade away instantly.

Gu Ban’s face turned cold, and then he left directly.

After Gu Ban left, Ji Xiuning immediately mounted a flying steed and flew toward the Demon Star Pavilion.

...

Upon entering Ning Wuya’s residence, Ji Xiuning also saw Suo Qinqin, Lanling’s eldest daughter.

Ji Xiuning looked at her with incomparably complex emotions. From now on, this teenage girl before her would be the eldest princess of the world’s strongest empire. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Ji Xiuning was also the eldest princess of the strongest empire in the Human Kingdom, but compared to the Flame Demon Empire, the Flame Empire was really nothing.

Even the current Flame Demon Empire has 1.6 billion square kilometers of land and six to seven hundred million citizens.

Moreover, the Northern Barbaric Lands will soon completely fall into Lanling’s hands. In the future, even the entire Human Kingdom may fall under the iron hooves of Demon Emperor Lanling.

At that moment, Suo Qinqin was still drawing. This time, she was drawing her brother Zhi Yu. She had only seen Zhi Yu a few times and only knew that he was also her father’s son, so she drew purely from imagination, which made it different from the real Zhi Yu.

Ji Xiuning couldn’t help but step forward and softly say, "Qinqin, after Zhi Yu grew up, his eyes and nose look more like your father, unlike when he was young, where he looked just like Zhi Ning."

Then, Ji Xiuning kindly offered to take over the brush to help Qinqin with the drawing.

But Qinqin quickly grabbed all the brushes on the table, then looked at Ji Xiuning with cold and wary eyes.

Because in her mind, everyone who appeared here couldn’t be a good person.

Ji Xiuning felt like her warm face was sticking to a cold bottom, so she awkwardly smiled, gently nodded at Qinqin, and then went inside.

Inside, Ning Wuya was sitting, lost in a daze. In front of him was a portrait, a portrait of Lanling, oh no, of Suo Lun, a work by Qinqin.

In fact, despite being enemies with Lanling for over a decade, Ning Wuya had never seen the opponent.

Ji Xiuning approached and knelt directly, saying, "Master Wuya, save me!"

Ning Wuya was startled, then asked, "What happened?"

Ji Xiuning said, "My former teacher Gu Ban wants me to go to the Flame Demon Empire. He wants Lanling to kill me in a fit of rage. In his eyes, I am a traitor because I chose to join you instead."

Ning Wuya’s face turned cold, and the muscles on his face slightly twitched.

Gu Ban really is too much, kicking him when he’s down. Ning Wuya hasn’t completely fallen yet, and Gu Ban is already eager to kick him when he’s down.

It’s like killing a chicken to warn the monkey, using Ji Xiuning’s death to show Gu Ban’s authority.

After Ji Xiuning finished, she didn’t proceed to sow discord, nor did she speak about killing a chicken to warn others.

For Ji Xiuning, Ning Wuya must protect her, or else his prestige in the Sky Holy Palace would collapse—who would follow him then, who would fear him? Destroy Ji Xiuning today, and tomorrow they will destroy Fu Lingxi, and the day after, will they also destroy Kui Shuangshuang, and then frame him, Ning Wuya, with treason to the Demon Pavilion and Demonic Laboratory?

"I’m going to see His Majesty Shitian," Ning Wuya said.

Ji Xiuning bowed and said, "Thank you, Master."

...

The temple where the number one leader of the Sky Holy Palace, His Majesty Shitian, resided, was quite austere.

"Greetings, Your Majesty Shitian." Ning Wuya meticulously knelt and saluted, something he had never done before.

However, his kneeling was stopped by His Majesty Shitian.

"You and I are colleagues, not monarch and minister," Shitian said, "We are under an elite democracy, not an imperial system."

Then, he pointed to a box on the table, saying, "Just sent by the Flame Demon Emperor."

Ning Wuya opened it and saw it was a man’s indecent part.

"The Nether Organ of E Yun." Shitian stated, "E Yun, due to assaulting Hell Knight Ashi Luo, was taken to feed the dogs, leaving only this one part. It was first sent to the Grand Mountains, where the Holy Priest of the Dragon Temple expedited its transfer here."

Ning Wuya’s face twitched, his voice hoarse, "Is this necessary? E Yun... was a Sky Priest after all; even if the sides were enemies, he was still an external minister, equivalent to a high-ranking member of the Flame Demon Council. This completely loses decorum."
