This Journey To The West Is So Terrifying Chapter 257

[ … words ]

The Demon Master arrived with a crowd of monsters at the ruins of the Demon Court and from afar, saw Feng Jiu, dressed in ceremonial garb, with a mask on her face.

Although he had long known of Feng Jiu’s resurrection, the Demon Master still couldn’t help but have his eyes brim with hot tears.

Not just him, but the monsters following behind him as well, upon seeing their dearly missed king return, began to kneel on the ground, one after another, weeping inconsolably.

“Five thousand years, and you have finally come back!” a monster wailed loudly.

It seemed as if they wanted to fully vent the injustices deep in their hearts in this moment, the countless years of waiting and persevering had finally borne fruit today, they were elated, yet at the same time, filled with a profound sense of grievance.

Lin Fang stood stock-still on the spot, watching this scene with a heart full of emotions.

These people, who have steadfastly held on through the darkness, shone with the light of ideals; they were the last essence of the Demon Clan, and its backbone.

In whatever era, such people always inspire deep respect.

They are beacons in the dark age, the pillars that support the crumbling Demon Clan.

Feng Jiu looked at the group of weeping figures and slowly said, “I have returned!”

The majestic voice echoed through the ruins, and the people, hearing this familiar voice, were overwhelmed with emotions; their king had finally returned.

Tonight, Lin Fang’s little world was exceptionally bustling, with countless figures appearing; they gaped at the towering Tree of Stars, their mouths agape in awe.

These were the elite remnants of the Demon Court, and now that they had arrived here, it was time to rebuild the Demon Court.

The Demon Master looked up at the towering Tree of Stars with a heart full of emotions, the rich Spiritual Energy enveloping it, with the Starlight hanging down and enveloping the area, making it all the more ethereal.

“What a complete world. If only we had such a small world in hand back then, at the very least, we could have carved out a dominion for ourselves,” the Demon Master said with a sigh.

He could clearly feel the perfection of this world’s laws. This nascent world had tremendous potential, and might even have the chance to advance in the future, by then truly becoming a realm of its own.

“Demon Realm!” A term like this suddenly popped into his mind.

However, when he considered that this world was not owned by the Demon Emperor, he felt somewhat of a headache, as if he and his people were living at the mercy of another.

Luckily, he knew the inside story and was aware that with their emperor’s methods, there was a good chance they could win over Lin Fang, and then things would more or less be settled.

The arrival of these people instantly attracted the attention of Lin Fang’s subordinates who curiously sized up the newly arrived group; due to Lin Fang’s prior notice, they also knew that these were the big shots from the Demon Court.

As a result, they stretched their necks to get a better look at these legendary figures.

“Could that old man be the legendary Demon Master? He looks so old!” The Bashan Tiger and Little Fox, among others, perched in a large tree, sighed as they watched the busy crowd from the Demon Court in the distance.

He had always admired the Demon Master and whenever he heard his stories, he would imagine himself in those tales, thinking about how he would lead the struggling Demon Clan to survive, how he would contend with colossal entities like the Heavenly Court, always feeling the Demon Master was a hero of the world.

But what he had not expected was that such a renowned Monster would appear so aged, not at all like the imposing figure he had imagined.

“The Demon Master is a sage of the Three Realms; I think this appearance suits him well,” the Little Fox said with a laugh, swinging her little legs.

As a Monster from the Xiniu Continent, although she had heard of these people’s fame, being thousands of miles apart, she did not idolize them as excessively as the Monsters from Luzhou in the North.

At this time, they gathered here more out of curiosity.

You Lan stood atop the treetops, continuously introducing the identities of these people; as a born and bred member of the Demon Clan from Luzhou in the North, she was all too familiar with these legendary figures of the Demon Court, practically recognizing them just by their distinct features.

“Are those people the subordinates of Lin Fang, Fellow Taoist?” The Flood Dragon Demon King sensed the distant scrutiny and saw a group of bored Little Monsters, asking with a smile.

“They should be, it is said that most are from the Xiniu Continent, many of them under the boss’s command.”

“Ah, those are indeed capable hands of the Demon Clan; if we could win them over, that would be great.”

“That’ll depend on the emperor,” said the Great Saint who moves mountains, suddenly laughing.

“Haha, I never expected that the emperor would be a woman, that really gave me quite the shock!”

The crowd, recalling the moment when the Demon Emperor took off her mask, couldn’t help but give a sheepish chuckle; who would have thought their emperor was a woman? Fortunately, everyone here was a staunch loyalist to the Demon Court, hence, no different thoughts arose because of it.

Instead, because of the Demon Emperor’s gender, there was a deeper understanding of the cooperation with Lin Fang.

After all, these two seemed very much like they were involved, so by that logic, wasn’t this small world essentially the Demon Court’s little world?

“What a wonderful place; if we had such a little world back then, we wouldn’t have been reduced to such a state of disarray,” the Wind-sage Great Saint said, touching the trunk of the Starry Sky Tree with a sigh.

If they really had such a perfect little world, they could at worst have led the people of the Demon Court to form their own realm.

“It’s not too late now; it’s the perfect time to build up the Demon Court while the Heavenly Court can’t spare attention to us. We can’t lose again this time.”
