Chapter 518 A Secret Not Worth Keeping
After the Blood Moon Demon Emperor dragged Xu Zhenfeng away from Eternal Night City, they took a small path between Yin and Yang that he had secretly opened up when they came, and soon escaped the Underworld and came to the Yang Realm.
They appeared in the mortal realm, within the territory of the Great Yue Kingdom.
The Demon King and Wolf Wumiao followed behind them, followed by Elder Hongguang, Chen Shengyuan of Tianxuan Sect, and the old monk Wukong carrying the Yellow Essence Doll.
The Blood Moon Demon Emperor glanced around and, seeing no ambush, smiled at the demon kings behind him and said, "Thank you all for seeing me off. Rest assured, once we reach the Endless Coast, I will definitely release this wolf demon. I will never go back on my word."
After saying that, he carried Xu Zhenfeng into the air and flew rapidly toward the Endless Coast.
The demon king and his companions had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow behind, fearing the consequences of their actions.
The Blood Moon Demon Emperor also reminded them from time to time not to get too close, lest he lose his composure and hurt Xu Zhenfeng again.
The two sides flew at high speed, one after the other, exchanging words from time to time.
Lang Wumiao kept pleading with the Blood Moon Demon Emperor to stop temporarily and let Xu Zhenfeng heal his injuries first, but the Blood Moon Demon Emperor refused. In the end, neither of them spoke anymore.
Three days later, the endless coastline finally came into view in the distance.
The moment they saw the endless coastline, both sides—whether demons, monsters, or humans—breathed a sigh of relief.
Along the way, Xu Zhenfeng repeatedly thought of finding an opportunity to break free from the Blood Moon Demon Emperor's control and escape his claw lock.
The Demon King and his group were right behind him. As long as he broke free from their control for even a moment, he would receive the Demon King's help.
No matter how he changed his posture, trying to loosen the grip of the grappling hook even slightly, he couldn't do it; instead, the hook gripped him tighter and tighter.
In the end, the five claws on the grappling hook pierced through his collarbone, locking his entire body in place.
As they approached the Endless Coast, the Blood Moon Demon Emperor increased his speed, letting out a long howl.
Not long after his roar was heard, several black dots appeared on the endless coastline. As the dots grew larger, it became clear that they were three Demon Emperors, flying rapidly toward the Blood Moon Demon Emperor.
"Alright, you've reached the Endless Coast. Leave him here."
The Demon King sped up to the right of the Blood Moon Demon Emperor, but still dared not get close. He could only keep up with him and fly forward at the same speed.
The Blood Moon Demon Emperor's expression softened as he saw the three Demon Emperors ahead were about to arrive.
"Your Majesty, please don't be impatient. Once the Demon Emperor who is there to meet me arrives, I will naturally release you, my demon servant, back to your home."
After he finished speaking, the three Demon Emperors who were rushing towards him from afar had already arrived in front of him.
Elder Hongguang, Chen Shengyuan, and the old monk Wukong rushed up at this moment. They formed a half circle around Blood Moon Demon Emperor from behind and to his sides.
The three Demon Emperors who had flown in also stopped and looked at the Blood Moon Demon Emperor and the Demon King. One of the Demon Emperors asked, "Blood Moon, what's going on?"
Upon hearing this, the Blood Moon Demon Emperor gave a bitter laugh and replied, "Wu Sheng, we have suffered a huge loss this time. Overturning Heaven, Devouring Soul, and Annihilating World have all perished. The Demon Race has been severely weakened. The Demon Realm should prepare to go into seclusion for ten thousand years."
The one who spoke was none other than the Lifeless Demon Emperor, the head of the Ten Great Demon Emperors mentioned by the Blood Moon Demon Emperor.
After hearing the Blood Moon Demon Emperor's words, the Lifeless Demon Emperor remained calm and composed as he surveyed the Demon King and the others, then continued to ask the Blood Moon Demon Emperor, "And what about them?"
The Blood Moon Demon Emperor said in the same tone as usual, "I told them about how you figured out how to summon and receive the otherworldly demon gods in the otherworldly passage of the Lingxiao Treasure Vault, and in exchange, I got my life."
The Demon King and his companions originally thought that the Unborn Demon Emperor would be enraged when he learned that the Blood Moon Demon Emperor had revealed all the secrets of the Demon Clan in order to save his own life.
To everyone's surprise, when the Demon Emperor Wusheng found out, he not only did not get angry, but nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world, saying, "Since your life is hanging by a thread, it doesn't matter if this gets out."
Your life is the most important thing. As long as you come back alive, nothing is worth a Demon Emperor like myself risking my life to protect.
Upon hearing these words, the Demon King, Chen Shengyuan, Elder Hongguang, and the old monk Wukong couldn't help but admire them secretly.
As expected of the leader of the ten Demon Emperors, his magnanimity and insight are worthy of his position as the leader of the Demon Emperors.
The Blood Moon Demon Emperor then said to the Lifeless Demon Emperor, "I used this secret exchange to return to the Demon Realm. However, they tried to cheat me, so I had no choice but to capture a demon as a 'hostage' to ensure my safe return."
The Unborn Demon Emperor glanced at Xu Zhenfeng in the Blood Moon Demon Emperor's hand. He saw that the demon's collarbone was locked by the Blood Moon Demon Emperor's flying claws, and he was in a sorry state, covered in demon blood, and looked weak and powerless.
"Alright, you've finished talking. Now you can leave my son here and go back to your Demon Realm."
Wolf Wumiao had long been impatient and interrupted the Demon Emperor Wusheng before he could speak.
