Just as the Little Demon Sovereign was caught in hesitation, the army of the Third Prince had already arrived outside the city gates.The army gradually slowed its pace.
Soon after, the army split down the middle, as a small detachment emerged from the crowd.
At the forefront of this small group was a man and a woman, both riding red tigers, looking distinguished and exceptional.
These two were naturally the Third Prince Shentu Jingming and the Old Ancestor Longyan, who was going by the alias “Wang Ruobing.”
Amidst the throng of elite trusted aides, the Third Prince and Wang Ruobing were the first to stride into the city gates.
Seeing the soldiers lined up inside the base to welcome them, the Third Prince was immediately invigorated, warmly waving at them, “My family, Shentu Jingming is back.”
“Welcome back, Your Highness, Third Prince.” Chen Yuanshuang led a group of door guards, who shouted slogans with excitement and vigor.
At this moment, he did not mention anything about checking travel permits.
“Yo, isn’t this Chen Clan’s Yuanshuang?” The Third Prince smiled even more warmly, “I remember you’re a bit older than I am. Back in the Demonic Court, you were also a famous rogue playboy, and I later heard you came to the foreign battlefield and seemed to do quite well~”
Chen Yuanshuang hastily nodded and bowed, a face full of smiles, as he said, “How could Yuanshuang compare to Your Highness? Your Highness was once known as the ‘First Scourge of the Young Generation in the Demonic Court.’ I always thought Your Highness would accomplish something earth-shattering.”
“Hahaha, Yuanshuang, you’re quite amusing. Come to my manor when you have time; we can have a good chat and reminisce.” The Third Prince laughed heartily as he patted him on the shoulder.
“Thank you, Your Highness. Can I bring my brothers along? They all admire Your Highness greatly.”
“Of course.”
The two of them started chatting back and forth as if they had met each other too late in life.
The Little Demon Sovereign Chao Qianjue’s face grew darker as he listened, and just as he wanted to turn around and leave to avoid seeing it, he suddenly noticed a general behind Shentu Jingming who seemed quite familiar.
His pupils constricted as he uttered softly, “Yu Chi Wentian?”
It was indeed Yu Chi Wentian, as well as several battalion leaders and vice-legion commanders of the Asura Legion, who were following behind the Third Prince. Moreover, the original members of the Asura Legion were mixed within the Red Tiger Battle Group.
This made the troops under the Third Prince look especially formidable and imposing.
“Hey? Isn’t this the Little Demon Sovereign?” The Third Prince rode up on his tiger with an expression of astonishment, “I didn’t know you were still alive, that’s fantastic.”
Little Demon Sovereign?
Everyone paused for a moment, and their attention immediately shifted to the Little Demon Sovereign.
The faces of the original leaders of the Red Tiger Battle Group involuntarily showed contempt and ridicule.
As for the original leaders of the Asura Legion, first, their eyes were evasive, as if caught in an illicit act, but then they suddenly realized. It was the Little Demon Sovereign who had abandoned them first; had it not been for the “coincidental” arrival of the Immortal Dynasty’s reinforcements, they would have been completely wiped out.
Even being absorbed into the Third Prince’s ranks was nothing to be ashamed of.
What was there to be ashamed about?
So, everyone quickly grew justified and stopped avoiding the Little Demon Sovereign’s gaze.
“Greetings, Your Highness, Third Prince.” The Little Demon Sovereign greeted nonchalantly, then focused his attention on Yu Chi Wentian and the group of original Asura Legion leaders, “Yu Chi, it’s great you all survived. Did His Highness, the Third Prince, save you?”
“Greetings, Young Master Chao.” Yu Chi Wentian stepped forward, politely saluting, “Indeed, His Highness saved us.”
“Good, very good.” Although the Little Demon Sovereign was displeased with the term “Young Master Chao,” he seemed somewhat excited.
Since Yu Chi Wentian and these Asura Legion soldiers were not dead, his culpability was reduced significantly, which was undoubtedly great news for him.
He immediately invited, “Come back to the camp with me first. I will definitely make amends to my brothers.”
“I’m afraid we cannot comply with Young Master Chao’s orders.” Surprising him, Yu Chi Wentian refused.
“?” The Little Demon Sovereign frowned, “Vice Legion Commander Yu Chi, what do you mean by this?”
Yu Chi Wentian sighed and said, “We were already defeated, nearly wiped out, turned into a routed army. Fortunately, His Highness took us in. We are now under His Highness’s command, incorporated into the Red Tiger Legion, and I will serve as the future vice-legion commander of the Red Tiger Legion.”
“What?” The Little Demon Sovereign was instantly shocked and angry, “Yu Chi Wentian, you dare betray the Asura Legion, betray me, betray the Demon Lord? You, you, you, how dare you!!”
At the mention of betraying the Demon Lord, Yu Chi Wentian visibly showed a moment of panic, a hint of fear. After all, he once served under the Demon Lord, and naturally held him in both respect and awe.
“Qianjue, you are wrong to say that.” The Third Prince stepped in, blocking in front of Yu Chi Wentian, frowning at the Little Demon Sovereign as he criticized, “Everyone is part of the Demonic Dynasty’s army, fighting for the Demonic Dynasty, for the survival and rise of the Human race. How is Yu Chi following me considered betrayal?”
“How is this not betrayal?” The Little Demon Sovereign was so furious that his lungs were about to explode, berating, “Our Chao Clan and the Demon Lord, do you know how much financial and manpower resources we invested to create the Asura Legion? Switching allegiance so casually, if not betrayal, then what?”
“Chao Qianjue, watch your words.” Hearing this, the Third Prince’s expression immediately became serious, “When the Asura Legion initially applied for a legion number, it was under the application procedures of the Demonic Court’s regular army, and to this day it still receives military pay from the Demonic Court’s military division. It is not your Chao Clan’s private army!”
