Chapter 2157: Promoted to Crown Prince! Jingming Takes Off (Part 2)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"An inter-domain war?" Jade Talisman Immortal slightly furrowed his brows, "Do you need my help?"

"Thank you, Senior Jade, but the main enemies of our Da Qian Defensive Area are the three Demonic King Fortresses, which are under the command of the Demon God of Darkness and Kill’s demonic kings. Currently, the Demon God of Darkness and Kill has suffered a great setback, and the demonic kings under his Demon God Hall are in a state of panic and lack unity, making this battle not too difficult to fight."

"If that’s the case, then I wish Da Qian swift victory." Jade Talisman Immortal sighed with slight relief and spoke with a hint of pride in his tone, "I shall remain in Dongqian for a while. If Emperor Longchang returns in time, I’ll meet him to express my thanks, but if not, so be it."

"Yes, yes, I will urge His Majesty more."

"Do not urge him. War is not child’s play, and one cannot be distracted."

"You’re absolutely right, Senior, I will remember it well. However, mentioning Senior in a letter is still necessary."

"You, child, are truly understanding and smart."

Their whispered conversation was drowned out by the clamor of glasses clinking at the banquet, unnoticed by most attendees. Only Wang Shouzhe seemed to notice, glancing over thoughtfully.

...

In the outer Demonic Realm.

The campaign with the Immortal-Demon Dynasties is over, yet the outer Demonic Realm hasn’t completely calmed down. Because of Yun Xiayang’s return as the "Dragon Blood Demon God," the once Eight Great Demon Gods have now become the "Nine Great Demon Gods," subtly altering the power structure.

At this moment.

The blood moon hung high, shrouded in a hazy moonlight.

A unique banquet was being held in the former Scarlet Demonic King Fortress.

In the central martial stage of the Demonic King Fortress, a dozen or so different-looking demonic clans were seated around a large round table, relishing the feast.

Numerous dishes featuring unique flavors of the demonic clan had filled the round table, with aromas wafting into the air, tempting the noses of the demonic generals standing guard around them.

Upon closer inspection, despite their varied appearances, all the demonic clans seated around the table exuded a powerful aura; each one was at the level of a Demonic King!

At the head of the round table sat a demonic clan with draconic wings and horns, exuding a far more overwhelming and terrifying presence than the other demonic clans at the table.

This demonic clan was none other than Yun Xiayang, transformed into the "Dragon Blood Demon God."

After defeating the Demon Lord, the Demon God of Darkness and Kill fulfilled his promise by handing over several remote Demonic King Fortresses to him.

The Scarlet Demonic King Fortress was among them.

Add to that a few Demonic King Fortresses "lent" to him previously by the Yincha Demonic God, Yun Xiayang now controlled no less than "eleven" Demonic King Fortresses!

Prior to that, during the aftermath of the campaign, Yun Xiayang had aggressively consolidated a wave of defeated troops, significantly bolstering his forces.

Currently, the number of demonic soldiers under his command has surged to fifty thousand, a monumental leap from the bare-stick commander he once was.

Now, with land and soldiers at his disposal, he could finally be considered a legitimate demon god ruling over a territory.

Those defeated troops he gathered were temporarily housed within the Scarlet Demonic King Fortress.

Given that the previous Scarlet Demonic King suffered heavy losses on the battlefield, a significant portion of the lord’s mansions in the Demonic King Fortress were vacant, making it convenient for temporarily housing troops.

As for Yun Xiayang’s actions, would the Demon God of Darkness and Kill or the Yincha Demonic God have any opinions?

They surely did.

Unfortunately, although the Yincha Demonic God was furious, there wasn’t much he could do about Yun Xiayang.

As for the Demon God of Darkness and Kill’s side...

Considering that Yun Xiayang indeed put in substantial effort against the Demon Lord, while the Demon God of Darkness and Kill had many reservations about his aggressive consolidation of defeated troops, he did not make much fuss about it.

Moreover, following this wave of battles, he also lost numerous soldiers, suffering a significant loss of vital energy. For now, he has decided to lay low, and it seems he won’t initiate another campaign in the short term.

However, knowing his nature, he surely won’t easily give up on the Dark True Demon Seed; most likely he will continue against the Demon Lord, and at that time, he may still have uses for Yun Xiayang. Hence, the Demon God of Darkness and Kill’s primary approach towards Yun Xiayang remains one of wooing.

Although the situation is complex, in summary, with the end of the battle, the outer Demonic Realm has gradually calmed down, allowing Yun Xiayang to settle and organize the forces and resources he’s gathered during this period.

Today’s round-table banquet could be considered a makeshift "loot-sharing conference."

"Your Majesty, this is a leg of demonic lamb I’ve roasted for you, please try it."

At this moment, the Scarlet Demonic King, with an excessively fawning attitude, offered a demonic lamb leg.

Speaking of which, the Scarlet Demonic King has been quite unfortunate, becoming embroiled in the aftermath of the Young Master Ming Shura’s death, and now has been directly assigned to the Dragon Blood Demon God, further compounding its tumultuous fate.

Yun Xiayang took it and bit into it, but before he even chewed twice, he spat it out, disgusted by its taste.

With a face full of disdain, he tossed the food, seemingly a demonic beast’s leg, back, saying incredulously, "Is this what you usually eat?"

What had been most unbearable for him in the outer domain? Certainly, it was the food.

Previously, he had always been on the move, never having the chance for a proper meal, only roasting a random demonic beast to stave off hunger when absolutely necessary. At the Yincha Demonic God’s place, he was preoccupied with closed-door cultivation and had no leisure to indulge. Although these days were tough, for the sake of the grand plan, he could bear it.
