Chapter 2185: Chapter 2182: Magic Heaven’s Intentions
"Yes, my lord!" The Heavenly Dragon Envoy said respectfully, "Now that the Demon Emperor Imperial Heaven has succeeded to the throne, he is consolidating the power of the Demon Race while eliminating dissent and attacking the direct lineage of the former Demon Emperor!"
"Of the Eight Great Demon Kings, five have chosen to submit, and the remaining three are in remote areas, declaring their opposition to Imperial Heaven to the end. The most powerful among them is the Demon King!"
"Are there also those in the Demon Race who dislike fighting?" Ling Feng was curious.
"In any race, there are those who love peace and those who love war. It’s just that the Demon Race, perhaps due to their race and bloodline, is more fond of battle, but that doesn’t mean all Demons like to fight. After all... the pain left to the Demon Race in battles with the Human Clan is not less than what’s left to the Humans!" Huang Le said softly.
Ling Feng nodded slightly, "Heavenly Dragon Envoy, continue on and tell me about the current strength of the Demon Race!"
...
For two whole days, Ling Feng and the others rode the Heavenly Dragon Envoy, traversing nearly half the continent until they finally reached the territory of the Demon King.
"Magic Heaven pays homage to Your Highness!" When Huang Le and others arrived, the Demon King had already led his experts to greet them. Seeing Huang Le, he immediately knelt before her.
"Uncle Magic Heaven, please rise!" Huang Le quickly helped the Demon King up, saying.
The Demon King was a tall man, and as for what his true form was, Ling Feng was not quite sure yet. But the aura coming from him was extremely powerful, even stronger than the Heavenly Dragon Envoy, indeed worthy of being the strongest Demon King.
"I already know everything and have been waiting for Your Highness’s arrival!" The Demon King said with emotion, "Imperial Heaven’s actions are tyrannical; surely his end will not be good! Your Highness, stay here at my place as we take our time to discuss dealing with Imperial Heaven!"
"Good!" Huang Le nodded.
The Demon King’s gaze fell on the Heavenly Dragon Envoy, and he sneered, "Heavenly Dragon Envoy, you traitor dare to show up? Are you not afraid that I will kill you? Men, capture this rebellious thief for me!"
The Heavenly Dragon Envoy’s eyes narrowed, preparing to cause a stir, but then heard Huang Le say, "Uncle Magic Heaven, the Heavenly Dragon Envoy has already seen the light and switched allegiances, he’s now our ally. Please, Uncle Magic Heaven, do not hold him accountable for his past actions!"
The Demon King suspiciously glanced at the Heavenly Dragon Envoy and then said lightly, "Well, if that’s the case, then I won’t hold him accountable. Come with me, everyone!"
From start to finish, the Demon King did not look directly at Ling Feng. In his eyes, Ling Feng was merely an insignificant human, even though Huang Le had previously said Ling Feng had helped them, the Demon King still did not regard it as important!
"My lord!" After settling down, the Heavenly Dragon Envoy came to Ling Feng’s room, speaking in a deep voice, "My lord, you need to be cautious of the Demon King!"
"Why do you say that?" Ling Feng frowned slightly.
The Heavenly Dragon Envoy said gravely, "Because I happened to hear the former Demon Emperor say that the Demon King has the aura of a hero!"
"The aura of a hero?" Ling Feng squinted his eyes, "So it means he might not genuinely be aiming to help Huang Le?"
The Heavenly Dragon Envoy nodded.
"Then why did you not mention this earlier?" Ling Feng said sternly.
The Heavenly Dragon Envoy smiled wryly, "It’s not that I didn’t say it, but... currently, Your Highness has nowhere else to go other than to the Demon King!"
Ling Feng was silent. The Heavenly Dragon Envoy was right; this Demon King was indeed Huang Le’s final support; she had no choice!
At this moment, the Heavenly Dragon Envoy’s ears twitched, "My lord, someone has surrounded us!"
"I sensed it too!" Ling Feng said in a deep voice, "Their strength is powerful; it seems their intentions are not good!"
Thud, thud, thud, at this time, the door was knocked, and the Demon King pushed it open, looking at Ling Feng and the Heavenly Dragon Envoy. "The two of you, this place doesn’t quite suit your statuses; you should come with me!"
Ling Feng did not move; he sighed softly and said, "Demon King, are we truly worth all this trouble for you?"
The Demon King said lightly, "Huang Le only has you two by her side, Yue Xin is just a maid, not a threat, but the Heavenly Dragon Envoy is one of the three Envoys, and someone who is respected so deeply by the Heavenly Dragon Envoy..."
The Demon King looked at Ling Feng, "Who exactly are you, lurking by Huang Le’s side? What is your purpose?"
Ling Feng looked at the Demon King, "If you asked Huang Le, you should know my identity!"
"It seems you do not wish to say!" The Demon King said lightly, "Huang Le is the Royal Family’s princess, bearing the heavy responsibility of the Demon Race’s restoration. Since your identity is unclear, I’ll have no choice but to capture you first and question you slowly."
"Do you dare?" The Heavenly Dragon Envoy stepped forward in front of Ling Feng and said fiercely, "Do you dare lay hands on my lord?"
"Heavenly Dragon Envoy, don’t forget your status, you are from the Demon Race!" The Demon King said sternly, "Are you against me for this human?"
The Heavenly Dragon Envoy was about to say something but was stopped by Ling Feng’s hand, "Heavenly Dragon Envoy, step back, I have some words to say to the Demon King!"
The Heavenly Dragon Envoy glared at the Demon King fiercely before turning and leaving.
The room was left with Ling Feng and the Demon King.
"Demon King, you want to control Huang Le, make her your puppet?" Ling Feng stared at the Demon King’s eyes and said, "Your true purpose is not to help Huang Le overthrow Imperial Heavenly Demon Emperor’s rule, but rather you want to replace him!"
"Why do you say that?"
"Because you haven’t truly regarded Huang Le!" Ling Feng said calmly, "Huang Le is wanted by Imperial Heaven, yet you did not show any sign of rescue; though you came to greet Huang Le personally, throughout the journey, I didn’t seem to see any of your subordinates. Does that mean you never intended to seek Huang Le?"
The Demon King squinted his eyes, "Based on this alone, you dare make such an assertion?"
"Of course not just this, now beside Huang Le only I, the Heavenly Dragon Envoy, and Yue Xin stand. As long as you deal with me and the Heavenly Dragon Envoy, Huang Le will have no choice but to depend on you, becoming a pawn in your hand. Moreover... I see the light of ambition in your eyes!"
"Hahaha!" The Demon King laughed wildly, "Interesting, truly interesting. Since you are so cautious of me, do you think I can let you go?"
Ling Feng chuckled, "You won’t harm me!"
"Oh? Such confidence?" The Demon King sneered, "Do you believe I can’t crush your neck right now?"
"Then you won’t know the things you want to know!" Ling Feng said calmly, "Aren’t you curious about my identity? Don’t you wonder why I can subdue the Heavenly Dragon Envoy? Don’t you want to understand my connection to the Demon Race?"
