--- Chapter 278 ---

The next day, morning rises.

Sunlight penetrated the beautiful gaps in the Imperial Demon Palace and awakened all the servants.

They have prepared the palace over the past few months for the Hundred Years' Reign Ceremony, and the gate will open for one hundred thousand people all over the Illusory Demon Realm.

Of course, only those with special status, like the Twelve Guardian Family and major Duke Palaces, could be seated at the front seats, attending as an esteemed audience for Huan Caiyi.

Though, everything doesn't look as calm on the surface. Even more chaotic beneath it.

Last night, while Yu Long and Huan Caiyi chatted their hearts out, the former sensed several 'powerhouses' entering the Demon Imperial City and gathered all over the place.

Some rented inns, some went to the brothel, and some even slept on the street. Their strength varies from the early stage to the peak stage of the Sovereign Profound Realm.

Yu Long detected four peak Sovereign Profound Masters. None of them were from Huan Caiyi's side. With the gathering of these experts, there would be a conspiracy in the ceremony.

Huan Caiyi's cultivation realm is lower than them all. However, she had an immense Witch's Talent, Wind Elemental Spirit, and mutated bloodline due to absorbing Evergreen Tree's dews. Which means you can't measure her strength with a cultivation base alone.

So, Huan Caiyi shouldn't have a problem dealing with these people.

Several hundred miles from the Demon Imperial City, a masked elder sat on a rock. He faced two gigantic creatures rivaling a mountain and said, "I have prepared everything on my side."

The gigantic creatures are none other than a cow and an ox. If Yu Long had been here, he would have recognized them as the Heavenly King of Stone and Heavenly King of Song.

Yes, they are one of many people who would like to sabotage Huan Caiyi's reign ceremony.

The cow snorted, "Your Duke Huai Palace should be assured. This king will seal the Demon Imperial City's south gate and prevent the puny Little Demon Empress from running away."

"On the other hand, you should fulfill your promise, Duke." added the ox with a threatening voice. "You have promised us the right to enter Golden Crow's Inheritance Ground and that high-tier Demonic Core."

The masked elder chuckled, "Calm down. Everything should be fine when the time comes. But you're right. I will give you the deposit first."

"Here, the Demonic Core that I promised. You can check it yourself." After saying that, he flicked something from his sleeve and sent out a bright, ancient brown light.

The cow and ox's eyes lit up. They could feel ancient power coming from the light and quickly locked their eyes on a brown-colored sphere with a reddish core.

They extended their senses to the sphere and mumbled, "This is it."

'Our children would become Gods with the nourishment of this Demonic Core. Even that monstrous human in the Demonic Star Secret Realm wouldn't pose a danger against us!'

After running from the Demonic Star Secret Realm, the husband-wife Heavenly Kings had been hiding in their secret liars. They are only coming out because they must meet the Masked Duke as promised.

If not for the better prospects of their triplet children, they wouldn't dare to come out. At first, they planned to fish for rare Demonic Cores in the Secret Realm, but it was impossible with the chaos that ensued back then.

They have fish subpar Demonic Cores to meet the quota yet lack the last ingredient to evolve their children's bloodline. They believed their plan would succeed with this ancient Demonic Core.

If Yu Long knew their plan, he'd laugh his ass off.

The Demonic Core-! No, the Essence Sphere they obtained from the Masked Duke is not even close to top-tier ones.

At best, the Essence Sphere only has an intimidation aura left behind from the beast's essence Yu Long extracted in his first life. It is also a sign of leaking energy, which makes it a worthless product in Yu Long's eyes.

Chu Yuechan didn't say anything and nodded. After handing Yu Long the tea, she shared her vision with him.

Yu Long's eyes widened slightly, 'This girl is getting stronger and stronger every day. She understood the softness of sword intent by meditating for a night.'

'At this rate, not many could rival her.'

'But I don't know if this is good or bad for her growth.'

After all, Chu Yuechan's bloodline is that of beast, ice, snow, and space.

Yu Long sighed inwardly, believing in Chu Yuechan's potential.

Another knock echoed in the room.

"Consort Yu, Her Highness is inviting you to the hall." said a servant with a calm voice.

"Who the hell is Consort Yu..." Yu Long mumbled in annoyance.

Chu Yuechan giggled, "You reap what you sow, Hubby."

Even then, they still went to the hall and found Huan Caiyi in her coronation dress.

Huan Caiyi wore a beautiful golden-purple dress, highlighting her figure and beauty. She also wore a small crown made in a majestic golden crow's image.

Behind Huan Caiyi is Thalia in her disguise, waving her hand at them.

"Morning, Godfather~!"

"Morning, Yu Long." Huan Caiyi greeted him with a smile.

"Morning, Yuechan."

Yu Long replied wryly, "Morning."

"Mm. Morning." Chu Yuechan gave Huan Caiyi and Thalia a nod.

Huan Caiyi rubbed her chin and said, "Are you ready for the crowd? In the ceremony, I would announce the return of the Demon Emperor's Seal and your engagement with me."

"It seems I can't take Consort Yu off my name."

"Of course, you can't."

"Anyway, let's enter the hall."

"Wait, where is Tempest?"

"She's sleeping..."

"..."

"That lazy bird."

The four of them walked down the Demon Imperial Hall and heard several murmurs from the area. A servant saw Huan Caiyi and made a sign to other servants in the area.

"Her Majesty, Demon Empress, is entering the hall!"

After that, respected chants erupt from the hall.

"Hail, Demon Empress!"

"Long Live, Demon Empress!"
