Chapter 207: Chapter 152 Taichu Foreign Affairs Hall, Demon Consort

"Someone's coming?" The Buddha Child immediately leaned in upon hearing this.Yang Ji, who had left a strand of his Divine Sense outside the stars, now raised one hand towards the sky, and amidst the flickering of Spiritual Light, a screen appeared in the air, showing the scene from beyond the stars.

At this moment, on the surface of the stars, stood two figures in black robes, one male, and one female, both looking extremely young.

The woman had willow leaf eyebrows, long and fine as hair, black lips, and delicate makeup, giving her an enchanting allure.

The man had upturned eyes and a smile on his lips, his complexion slightly pale and his features extremely handsome, exuding an aura of sinister charm.

Unlike humans, their eyes had no whites, their eyeballs were completely black.

Yang Ji recognized them as Heavenly Demons at just a glance.

There were unique patterns on their black robes, and at a glance, Yang Ji felt they looked familiar. Turning his head for a quick look, wasn't the Heavenly Demon suppressed in the Mount Sea World wearing the same black robe as them?

"Heavenly Demon Sect!" The Buddha Child looked at the screen and then at the Heavenly Demon being suppressed not far away, identifying the two outsiders' affiliations in one glance.

"Who would have thought that we've come to the territory of the Heavenly Demon Sect?" Yang Ji muttered to himself while stroking his chin contemplatively.

Just then, from the screen, one could see a furious dragon shaking its head and swinging its tail, glimmering with golden light, and moving extremely fast, soon arriving outside the stars. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Upon closer inspection, this furious dragon turned out to be a Dragon-shaped Starry Sky Shuttle.

The surface flashed with brilliance, and the thousand-zhang dragon-shaped shuttle suddenly shrank, then turned into a speck of golden light and disappeared.

In midair, there now stood a middle-aged man clad in a golden dragon robe, his forehead adorned with two pairs of golden dragon horns. His face bore dignity, his head and horns lofty and awe-inspiring, his gaze electric, sweeping across all directions, radiating immense dragon prestige and revealing an extraordinary nobility.

The moment Yang Ji saw him, information displayed itself: [Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, Dragon Emperor!]"

The Dragon Emperor? This was actually a Dragon Emperor comparable to the Void Refinement Realm, and what's more, a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

As Yang Ji marveled at his extraordinariness and felt secretly astonished, he saw the Dragon Emperor catch sight of the two individuals below. His dignified face suddenly softened, and he revealed a flattering smile, flying downwards and politely bowing, saying, "I have kept the two Demon Envoys waiting."

"..." Yang Ji was startled. The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Emperor who had seemed unrivaled and looked down upon the world, how had he instantly changed into a fawning little servant?

If the other party were two Demon Lords, Yang Ji could still make some sense of it, but they were merely two Demon Kings equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Did he, a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Emperor who had heard the Dao, need to humble himself and seek favor from such minor characters?

"Elder Brother, they are from the External Affairs Hall!" The suppressed Heavenly Demon, amidst its suffering, spoke with a beseeching look as if perceiving Yang Ji's confusion.

"Oh? What is this External Affairs Hall? Tell me about it!" Yang Ji formed a hand seal and eased the suppression of the Soul Grinding Disc on the Heavenly Demon, providing a momentary relief from pain. Your journey continues at M V L

The Heavenly Demon let out a sigh of relief, glanced at Yang Ji with a fearful expression, and managed a stiff apologetic smile: "The External Affairs Hall is the Sect division specifically responsible for interfacing with external forces; establishing roots of influence, nurturing puppets, infiltrating with undercover agents, and the like are all the domain of the External Affairs Hall."

"In each of the Three Thousand Great Realms and the Infinite Minor Realms, every realm has a corresponding External Affairs Hall. This person is from the Dragon Race, so the two individuals they're facing must be from the Dragon Clan External Affairs Hall."

"Dragon Clan External Affairs Hall? Then, is there also a Taichu External Affairs Hall?" Yang Ji asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, the head of the Taichu External Affairs Hall is the Demon Consort, a truly powerful True Inheritance holder," the Heavenly Demon glanced at Yang Ji, a flicker of doubt crossing its mind, but it still obediently answered.

"Oh? How powerful?" Intrigued by his phrasing, Yang Ji became more interested.

"Does Elder Brother know the rules for our Sect's True Inheritance assessment?" the Heavenly Demon asked, lifting its gaze.

"Speak!" Yang Ji said indifferently.

"It's over, it's all over! This person knows nothing of our Sect's affairs; it's like he truly isn't one of us. Looking at the method his Magical Treasures use, the Demonic Qi is scarce, but the Spiritual Energy is exceptionally abundant. Could it be... he's not a Heavenly Demon! But from another race?"

This Heavenly Demon, who was undoubtedly a genius of the demon clan able to complete three trial tasks, was extremely sharp-minded, discerning the flaws in Yang Ji's identity in just a few sentences.

Yang Ji chuckled inwardly; he never intended to let him go after capturing him. Letting him know wouldn't hurt!

Seeing his nonchalant smile, the Heavenly Demon was inwardly crying in misery, but outwardly he remained composed and said, "No wonder Senior Brother's Divine Skills are comprehended to such depth. It seems you are a person deeply immersed in cultivation, knowing very little of these mundane Sect matters."

After flattering him a little, he then said, "The inheritance trials of our Sect are different from other worlds. Other worlds enter a Battlefield of Inheritances to determine the inheritance spots. Our Sect's trials are more stringent, requiring one to defeat or kill a True Inheritor from another world!"

"Oh? So when you say this Demon Consort is incredibly powerful, has she slain a True Inheritor?" Yang Ji mused.

"No, not one True Inheritor, but she actually killed five True Inheritors. And it was not one by one but defeating the combined force of those five!" the Heavenly Demon said with reverence.

"What? Five True Inheritors, and they were working together?" Yang Ji was genuinely shocked and greatly moved.

Being a True Inheritor meant one was an extraordinary person, five working together, even if unable to win, could easily get away. How could all of them be killed by one peer?

Seeing Yang Ji's shocked expression, the Heavenly Demon felt secretly delighted and continued to highlight the strength of the Heavenly Demon Sect, speaking with a hint of pride, "Moreover, these five were not from the same world.

They met on the Battlefield of Inheritances, and at their first gathering after becoming True Inheritors, the Demon Consort set her sights on them, resulting in all of their heads being taken. However, they had their Primordial Spirits housed upon the Immortal Artifacts of their respective Sects, so they could be resurrected. They were lucky in that regard."

"What abilities does this Demon Consort have to be so formidable?" Yang Ji raised an eyebrow.

"Hundreds of years ago, a great figure from the Demon Realm had a thought to tour the Lower Realm, took a fancy to a Demon God of our Sect, and thus exchanged souls with it; the Demon Consort is their progeny," the Heavenly Demon explained without hiding anything. It was something one could easily find out with a bit of inquiry.

Yang Ji certainly knew that the Heavenly Demon Clan could reproduce not just physically, but through soul exchange as well.

He did not expect the Demon Consort to come from such a remarkable background; her mother a Demon God nearly on par with a Tribulation Immortal, and her father at the very least a True Demon comparable to a True Immortal. No wonder the Demon Consort was so formidable.

"Heh heh, the Demon Consort is the one our Sect's Demon Lord declared capable of Slaying Dao Tribulation and becoming an Unparalleled Witch. Taking down five True Inheritors was a piece of cake for her! It's exactly because she is so powerful that she is able to lead the Taichu External Affairs Hall," boasted the Heavenly Demon with pride.

"Taichu External Affairs Hall..."

Yang Ji murmured, his mind suddenly racing with a new thought.

The very Sect that Great Sage Mu Yuan belonged to was extinguished by this Heavenly Demon Sect, and the reason behind the annihilation was kept secret, unknown to the world. It was only because Mu Yuan told him that he knew it was because of a Taichu Divine Tree Sapling.

If the Taiyuan Dao Sect was destroyed, that sapling of the Taichu Divine Tree should have fallen into the hands of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

So, the one plotting to attack and take over the Taichu World must be the Heavenly Demon Sect leading the charge. Could Liu Xiaosheng, who infiltrated the Wuji Dao Sect, be someone from the Heavenly Demon Sect?

The upper echelons of the Wuji Dao Sect didn't know about the Taichu Divine Tree in the Heavenly Demon Sect's possession, so they could not confirm which Heavenly Demon power was behind the scheme.

But through the Taichu Divine Tree obtained by the Heavenly Demon Sect, Yang Ji had guessed most of it.

Just as he was deep in thought, a voice from within the projection suddenly interrupted his contemplation.

"Many thanks to the two Demon Envoys! In ten days' time, I ask for your Sect's assistance in claiming the position of clan leader," the middle-aged Dragon Race individual said obsequiously, his hidden intent to kill suddenly revealing itself, "Jin Luan dared to declare that my bloodline is impure, unworthy of the position of clan leader. I will ensure his soul is utterly destroyed!"

"Since we have an agreement, our Sect will certainly make a move. You just relax, Clan Leader Jin Lie," the man in the black robe cackled ominously.

"Hahahaha, that's enough for me, having the word of a Demon Envoy," the middle-aged Dragon Race individual laughed contentedly.

Yang Ji sighed inwardly, finding it easy to invite trouble but difficult to send it away. By involving the Heavenly Demon in internal clan disputes, this middle-aged individual of the Dragon Race was truly culpable. If the Dragon ancestors in heaven had any awareness, they would probably manifest on the spot and strangle him to death.

Once this dragon and two demons had finished their secret deal on this desolate star, they all left one after another.
