Chapter 116: The Desert Tower Empress

As the Holy Empress spoke, a massive wave of shock crashed through her heart once more. This Young Master Chen held even their demon race firmly in his palm; he was truly terrifying.

"Oh, so that is how it is. It is only natural that your demon race does not understand the Eastern Emperor Bell. After all, the primordial era is indeed far too distant from the present," Chen Changsheng said nonchalantly. He then turned his gaze to Huangfu Meng. "Lady Huangfu, are you aware that in your past life, you were the Zither Emperor of the primordial era?"

"What? I am the reincarnation of the Zither Emperor?" Huangfu Meng stood frozen in place, petrified.

The others were struck as if by lightning, their bodies trembling violently. They looked from Huangfu Meng to Chen Changsheng in utter astonishment, as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight. Even the fact that Huangfu Meng was the reincarnation of the Zither Emperor was known to Young Master Chen, and now he had turned her into a pawn in his hand.

Thinking of themselves—the original form of the Sword of All Beings, the original form of the Heaven-Slaying Demon Sword, the Divine Phoenix, and the Golden Divine Dragon—they were all pawns in Young Master Chen's hand...

It was confirmed once again: this Young Master Chen was absolutely the one who mastered the entire world!

...

Two days later, Donggong Qianxue's flying vessel had crossed the entire Eastern Region and entered the central area. The Sacred Domain was not the entire central area, but rather its innermost core. The holy kingdom closest to the Sacred Domain was named Yunhuang. The Sacred Domain existed as a small realm unto itself, and the entrance to it was located in Tiandu City of the Yunhuang Holy Kingdom.

Tiandu City. Donggong Qianxue's flying vessel landed there. Shortly after, three more incredibly luxurious flying vessels arrived. These three vessels came from the Southern, Western, and Northern Regions of the Yin-Xue Continent. As Tantai Wushuang had previously stated, the Fenghua Banquet was not exclusive to the Eastern Region; it was held simultaneously in the Southern, Western, and Northern Regions as well.

The three individuals who had earned the qualification to enter the Sacred Domain from the other three regions stepped out from their respective vessels, followed by entourages of kin accompanying them.

The qualifier from the Southern Region was a young woman, tall and slim, with exquisite features and an air of heroic spirit between her brows. It went without saying that she was surely a princess of a holy kingdom in the Southern Region. The qualifiers from the Western and Northern Regions were both princes of holy kingdoms; both were handsome, radiating an aura of extreme nobility.

"Haha, this is truly unexpected! To think that those coming from the Eastern and Southern Regions are both princesses. Not bad, not bad at all. I had thought we might be four bachelors entering the Sacred Domain; if that were the case, it would have been quite dull."

The prince from the Western Region revealed his true colors the moment he spoke, his noble aura vanishing instantly. He laughed loudly, "Beautiful princesses, let us get acquainted. I am the prince of the Molou Holy Kingdom in the Western Region, named Mo Yinyue."

"Get lost!"

Before Donggong Qianxue could speak, the princess from the Southern Region snapped coldly, a murderous chill instantly surfacing on her beautiful face. Mo Yinyue’s smile froze, and his mouth twitched. Donggong Qianxue and the prince from the Northern Region were also stunned; this princess from the Southern Region certainly had a personality.

"Princess Murong Lan of the Shenyue Holy Kingdom in the Southern Region—she is indeed as cold and unapproachable as the legends say."

A faint voice drifted slowly from behind Mo Yinyue. The speaker was a middle-aged beauty dressed in luxurious robes, her skin fair and clear. Her beauty was truly stunning, in no way inferior to Donggong Qianxue, and she possessed an inherent aura—composed, elegant, and mysterious—that made people want to draw near, yet simultaneously instilled a sense of inexplicable awe from within.

As she appeared, looks of shock filled the faces of everyone present. Even Chen Changsheng was rendered breathless by her beauty. This middle-aged beauty was none other than the Holy Empress of the Molou Holy Kingdom! Indeed, the ruler of the Molou Holy Kingdom was a woman named Lou Meisha, known as the greatest beauty of the Western Region.

"Daddy, look, look, so beautiful..." Chen Die'er gripped Chen Changsheng's large hand, whispering softly.

"Mhm, she is indeed very beautiful," Chen Changsheng replied, coming to his senses with a sigh. He added, "Die'er, Daddy believes that when you grow up, you will certainly be even more beautiful than she is."

"But Daddy, why do you know that I will be more beautiful than her when I grow up?"

"Because you are my daughter."

"Daddy, why would your daughter be more beautiful than her when she grows up?"

"Because the genes are strong."

"Daddy, what are genes?"

Chen Changsheng’s breath hitched slightly. "Die'er..."

"Die'er is here!" Chen Die'er quickly puffed out her small chest and gave a proper salute.

"You still haven't broken that habit of getting to the bottom of everything," Chen Changsheng said with a touch of helplessness.

Chen Die'er paused, then said seriously, "Daddy, Die'er will definitely change."

Suddenly, the father and daughter sensed that the atmosphere had shifted. They looked around to see everyone on the scene staring at them with faces full of astonishment.

The Empress of Molou, Lou Meisha, watched the pair without moving, the expression on her face strange to the extreme.

"Ah, apologies, excuse us," Chen Changsheng smiled faintly. "Please, carry on."

"Kid, are you aware that while your words just now didn't cause much physical harm, they were extremely insulting to my Empress Mother?" Mo Yinyue looked at Chen Changsheng with a smile, yet his eyes flickered with malice. His mother was the greatest beauty of the Western Region, yet this boy had claimed the little girl beside him would grow up to be more beautiful than her. To the entire Molou Holy Kingdom, that was an insult. The other attendants of the Molou Holy Kingdom wore expressions of deep hostility.

"And then? What do you want to do about it?" Chen Changsheng’s face remained calm and smiling as he looked Mo Yinyue in the eye. He had a super bodyguard, so why would he be afraid? The Blood Demon Ancestor was an ancient demon from the Realm of Gods, and now that he had taken on four pets, dealing with these people would be a piece of cake.

"You..." Mo Yinyue choked on his words.

"Kid, are you looking for death?"

"It seems we'll have to have a fight before we even enter the Sacred Domain."

The attendants from the Molou Holy Kingdom began to shout in unison, their faces turning murderous. Just then—

"Presumptuous!"

A soft cry came from the horizon. Everyone present hurriedly looked toward the sound. A massive, snow-white exotic beast was treading through the air toward them, and sitting upon its back was none other than the long-unseen Tantai Wushuang. Her attendants, Nongyu and Xianlan, remained at her sides.

The beast beneath Tantai Wushuang folded space with its strides, and within a few breaths, it arrived above the crowd.

"Young Master Chen and his daughter are my friends. No one is to be rude to them; otherwise, do not blame me for being discourteous." Tantai Wushuang sat on the beast's back, looking down at the crowd, her voice soft and melodious, yet laced with hidden intent to kill.
