After half a day, Yang Kai couldn’t bear it any longer.
He had come to the Demon Territory this time for another purpose. Yu Rumeng had only thought that he had been forced to submit to the Demon Race in a fit of anger because he had no way out in the Star Boundary, so she didn’t know his true purpose. She also didn’t know that he had already transferred the Heart Seal Secret Technique to the Soul Warming Lotus. Yu Rumeng didn’t hesitate to sacrifice herself to planted the Secret Technique on Yang Kai, it didn’t have much binding effect on him. On the contrary, it had tied her up tightly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he naturally had to obtain some information.
As a result, Yang Kai couldn’t be bothered to argue with Yu Rumeng and began chatting with her.
As the atmosphere became more lively, Yang Kai felt that the time was right and casually asked, “Right, Rumeng, how many Demon Saints are there in the Demon Territory?”
This was a piece of information that even Great Emperors couldn’t understand. If they could figure it out, it would be of great help to the future situation. As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
“There are a total of twelve Demon Saints in the Demon Territory,” Yu Rumeng didn’t have any suspicions, not to mention these weren’t secrets. Since Yang Kai had come to the Demon Territory, he could easily find someone to inquire about these things, “Each Demon Saint has a number of Half-Saints under their command, each of them managing a number of fragmented continents.”
“Twelve!” Yang Kai whistled, “Two more than the Star Boundary.”
Yu Rumeng smiled lightly, “There are thirteen now, but there are only nine in the Star Boundary!”
“You’re right,” Yang Kai nodded. The Night Shadow Great Emperor had defected to the enemy’s side, so this time, the Star Boundary had four less Great Emperors than the Demon Territory. This wasn’t even counting the Bright moon Great Emperor who had fallen into the trap. If they included the Bright Moon Great Emperor, the Star Boundary’s high-end forces would be even fewer.
The World Bottles were also commonly used in the Demon Territory. The reason why there were more Demon Saints than the Star Boundary Great Emperors in the Demon Territory was probably because the Demon Territory Bottles had a larger capacity than the Star Boundary, so there were twelve Demon Saints.
The situation in the Star Boundary was not looking good! Yang Kai was a little worried. Just these twelve Demon Saints alone were not easy to deal with. If they were to enter the Star Boundary together, who knew how much damage they would cause, if not, the entire Star Boundary would be destroyed.
“Are Demon Saints the most powerful existences in the Demon Territory?” Yang Kai asked again, “I heard that there’s a Great Demon God here?”
With a swoosh, Yu Rumeng’s figure suddenly stopped.
Yang Kai didn’t react in time and only flew back after rushing far away, asking curiously, “What’s wrong?”
Yu Rumeng stared at Yang Kai solemnly, “Where did you hear this news?”
Yang Kai shrugged, “I forgot, I don’t know who casually mentioned it to me, or if it was from some ancient book.” Yu Rumeng’s expression made him feel that something was wrong, making him feel somewhat nervous and uneasy.
Pondering for a moment, Yu Rumeng said, “Don’t mention those words in the future.” She didn’t say what they were, but Yang Kai wasn’t an idiot, so how could he not know what she was referring to?
“Why?” Yang Kai frowned.
“Be obedient!” Yu Rumeng said seriously, “You absolutely must not mention this again, otherwise if something happens to you, even I won’t be able to protect you.”
So serious? Yang Kai was shocked. Rumeng was already a Demon Saint, but even she couldn’t protect him. Did this mean that Great Demon God really existed? Was he an existence above a Demon Saint?
Back when he was training in the Thousand Illusion Dream World for a few dozen years, in the final battle, the Evergreen Divine Tree had sacrificed itself to seal up the Two Worlds Corridor with its essence. From the other side of the Corridor, there was a giant hand that covered the sky. Even though it was separated by the power of the World Barrier, the power that this giant hand was able to display was incredible, almost causing Qing to fail.
This was a power that surpassed Demon Saints and was known as Great Demon God by the Demon Territory!
The things in the Thousand Illusion Dream World were all constructed from what had happened in the real world. In other words, in the long river of history, Great Demon God had indeed appeared. But now, Yu Rumeng had actually solemnly warned Yang Kai not to mention it, causing him to be somewhat confused.
He didn’t know what the words Great Demon God meant in the Demon Territory, but he could faintly feel the weight of these three words in this Great World.
“I understand,” Yang Kai nodded seriously, “Never mention it again.”
Yu Rumeng let out a sigh of relief, “Good.”
Yang Kai asked again, “What about Bright Moon Greaat Emperor? I heard he was trapped somewhere in the Demon Territory. How is he now?”
“Why are you asking this?” Yu Rumeng frowned slightly.
Yang Kai sneered, “The people of the Star Boundary have gone too far. Right now, I don’t have the strength to take revenge. If I can kill one of their Great Emperors, I’ll be able to collect some interest.”
Yu Rumeng couldn’t help laughing, “Revenge isn’t something that can be rushed, you still have a lot of room to grow. It won’t be too late to make plans when you really grow up one day. Besides, that Bright Moon Great Emperor isn’t someone you can kill as you please.”
Yang Kai winked at her and said, “I’m not his opponent, don’t I still have you?”
Yu Rumeng shook her head, “I don’t want to get involved in a battle between Great Emperors. Moreover, I’m not responsible for this matter. I’ve always been in the Star Boundary, so I don’t know where that Bright Moon Great Emperor is trapped.”
Yang Kai thought about it and agreed. Yu Rumeng had always been in the Star Boundary, so how could she know anything about the Demon Territory? It was only natural that she would be the one to ask about the Bright Moon Great Emperor from him, so he immediately kept his mouth shut to avoid making any mistakes.
From the looks of it, after settling down, he would have to carefully investigate the situation. At the very least, he would have to figure out whether the Bright Moon Greaat Emperor was dead or alive.
Yu Rumeng led Yang Kai through one World Gate after another. Half a day later, after passing through one World Gate, the two of them suddenly arrived in a beautiful world. Yu Rumeng turned to Yang Kai and smiled, “We’re home.”
“Is this your continent?” Yang Kai turned his head and looked around, only to see that the entire continent was filled with a dazzling array of colors. Upon closer inspection, the bright and beautiful colors were actually from a large number of flowers. Almost half of the entire continent was covered in these colorful flowers, and under the dazzling sunlight, the entire world seemed like a beautiful picture.
This continent was no doubt quite large, and Yang Kai couldn’t see the end of it.
For a moment, Yang Kai was amazed! Before this, he had never thought that there would be such a strange world.
“One of them,” Yu Rumeng smiled lightly.
Yang Kai understood. Yu Rumeng had said before that there were twelve Demon Saints in the Demon Territory, and each of them had a number of Half Saints under their command, each of them in charge of a number of fragmented continents. The one in front of him was obviously one of the continents she was in charge of.
Seemingly because she had returned home, Yu Rumeng’s mood became more cheerful, leading Yang Kai forward for a while before a huge palace suddenly appeared in their vision.
The palace was surrounded by hundreds of millions of flowers, and even the air seemed to be filled with the fragrance of these flowers.
Before the two of them could approach, a stream of light shot out from the front of the palace. This stream of light was bright red in color and was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of them, revealing a handsome young man with an extraordinary appearance. This young man wore a blood-red cloak and wore an awe-inspiring aura.
As soon as he appeared, he cupped his fists and greeted, “My Lord!”
Blood Demon! As soon as Yang Kai saw this person, he immediately guessed his race, because this person had a faint smell of blood on him, and he was also a Half-Saint Blood Demon. It seemed that this person was one of Yu Rumeng’s trusted subordinates, otherwise he wouldn’t have been assigned to her palace.
Yu Rumeng nodded indifferently and asked, “Has anything happened recently?”
The Blood Demon Half-Saint replied, “It’s nothing much, I was just ordered to recruit many people from the lord’s territory.” As he spoke, he stared at Yu Rumeng with a burning gaze, his eyes flashing with a desire to possess her without the slightest bit of concealment.
Yang Kai couldn’t help raising his brow, thinking that this Blood Demon Half-Saint was quite bold, showing such an expression in front of Yu Rumeng, wasn’t he afraid Yu Rumeng would become angry?
Glancing at Yu Rumeng, Yang Kai immediately became unhappy, because Yu Rumeng was actually quite calm, as if she was used to it.
This slut! Yang Kai cursed in his heart. Although he had used the Soul Warming Lotus’s power to transfer the Heart Seal Secret Technique to her, greatly reducing the impact it had on him, in the past few days, he and Yu Rumeng had done everything they could except break through the last line of defense, so he naturally regarded her as his woman.
Now that his woman was being stared at by another man and she was acting as if nothing had happened, Yang Kai was naturally in a bad mood.
On the other side, Yu Rumeng nodded, “I understand.”
During the war between the two Worlds, not only did the Star Boudnary have to recruit people from the various regions, the Demon Territory also had to mobilize all of their fragment continents, and the continents that Yu Rumeng controlled were no exception.
As he spoke, the Half-Saint Blood Demon suddenly turned to look at Yang Kai and asked suspiciously, “Sir, what is the situation with this human?”
Human and Demon were at odds with each other. Yu Rumeng had suddenly returned with a Human Race captive, but it didn’t seem quite right, because this person was actually standing beside Yu Rumeng, causing him to feel somewhat annoyed. Even when he was beside Yu Rumeng, he was still a few steps behind her, so how could this human dare act so audaciously?
With this thought in mind, his killing intent soared and the pressure of a Half-Saint filled the air.
Yang Kai grinned at the Half-Saint and took a step to the side, closing the distance between him and Yu Rumeng. He even reached out and wrapped his arms around Yu Rumeng’s waist, lightly saying, “I am Rumeng’s husband!”
Husband? The Blood Demon Half-Saint’s eyes widened as he stared at Yu Rumeng. Seeing Yu Rumeng’s indifferent expression, his heart skipped a beat. This couldn’t be real, right? If not, why would the lord not resist when she was being hugged? If a dignified Demon Saint really wanted to resist, she could easily crush this human into dust.
