Chapter 279 - From This Day Forward, the Luo Shen Palace is Under the Protection of the Demon Realm!
"The timing is perfect. Let Ye Tianshen and the others come over." Ning Yechen said with a faint smile.
Standing beside him, Luo Ruying was completely bewildered.
What's ready…?
Just as Luo Ruying was feeling puzzled, the void around the Luo Shen Palace trembled, and the sky began to distort!
"Wh-What's happening…?"
"Th-This commotion feels a little familiar…"
"Look, it seems like something is about to come out of the void…!"
Everyone in the Luo Shen Palace sensed the abnormality and looked up one after another at the distorting and cracking void.
From within the distorted and cracking void rift, Ye Tianshen took a step out. With a wave of his arm, a countless great demon army surged out from behind him!
All sorts of demonic beasts carrying goods and pulling heavy treasure chests poured out!
The roars of the demonic beasts shook the heavens and the earth. The divine and immortal beasts within the Luo Shen Palace, hearing the sound, instantly became agitated and restless.
The ferocious-looking E'xiao was the first to flap its wings. Dark lightning surged around its feet, and its body shot out like a purple bolt of lightning, landing directly within the Luo Shen Palace!
"ROAR ROAR ROAR!"
The E'xiao scanned its surroundings and let out a roar. The surrounding divine and immortal beasts couldn't be held back and all scattered and fled.
"I-It's a demonic beast from the Demon Realm, an E'xiao…!"
"That power! Even my Sky-Howling Divine Tiger is afraid!"
"This E'xiao probably has the cultivation of an Immortal Venerable!"
"Nether Greedy Wolves! Nine-headed Gloomy Birds..."
"Quick, look! Even the Void-Wandering Dragons are here!"
"So many demonic beasts and demons…!"
"Has the great demon army come back after leaving…?!"
"Why did they have to descend upon our Luo Shen Palace this time…"
"Don't worry! The Immortal Ancestors of the great families of the Heavenly Realm are all here…!"
The crowd present, looking at the dense black mass of demons surging like a tide in the sky, were already stunned dumbfounded, too scared to move a muscle.
Such a vast and terrifying number of demons—the Luo Shen Palace alone could absolutely not withstand them…
Fortunately, Tianshu Xiu and the other Immortal Ancestors of the reclusive families of the Heavenly Realm were here.
This gave the disciples of the Luo Shen Palace and the others who didn't know what was going on a small sense of security and comfort in their hearts.
However, what was shocking was that Tianshu Xiu and the other Immortal Ancestors had no intention of attacking the great demon army. Instead, they politely stood to the sides, clearing a path…
What was this situation now…
The crowd was once again filled with confusion.
The Immortal Ancestors of the great reclusive families had no intention of fighting, and had even secretly and strictly ordered that no one from their families was to make a move!
This was a scene that had never been witnessed before in the Heavenly Realm…
Luo Hongye, held in Ning Yechen’s arms, saw the E'xiao arrive and instantly called out happily in her milky voice:
"Big kitty~"
This one call from Luo Hongye startled the members of the Luo Shen Palace.
Little Princess, that's the most ferocious E'xiao in the Demon Realm!
And you're just calling it 'big kitty'…?!
Hearing Luo Hongye’s call, the E'xiao turned its head and galloped over on all fours.
As the E'xiao ran towards them, the members of the Luo Shen Palace were so scared their hearts almost stopped, and they were filled with worry.
However, the scene they had worried about did not happen.
After the E'xiao ran before Luo Hongye, it immediately came to a steady stop, lay down on the ground, and let out a soft, coquettish-like roar:
"Roooar~~~"
"Heehee~ Big kitty~"
Under the gazes of the crowd, Luo Hongye directly leaped onto the E'xiao’s back and hugged its furry back with her small hands.
The crowd: "…(⊙?⊙)"
The members of the Luo Shen Palace looked at the scene before them in disbelief.
Some even rubbed their eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Were their eyes deceiving them? The legendary E'xiao that devoured people without spitting out the bones, how had it become so docile…
In Luo Hongye’s hands, it was as well-behaved as if it were really a pet cat…
Was this really the E'xiao they knew…
While the crowd was doubting their own existence, under the leadership of Ye Tianshen, the great demon army and numerous demonic beasts landed one after another upon the Luo Shen Palace.
Crate after crate of spirit stones, immortal artifacts, magical treasures, and even celestial art manuals were unloaded from the backs of the demonic beasts and placed in the center of the square…
As the crates of treasures were opened one by one, the Luo Shen Palace square was illuminated by the dazzling light of the spirit stones, and the rich aroma of medicine filled everyone's nostrils…
All the things brought by the great reclusive families earlier, even when added together, could not compare to what Ye Tianshen had brought…!
They were merely a few families from the Heavenly Realm, whereas Ye Tianshen's side represented the entire Demon Realm…!
So many treasures piled up, filling the entire square, an extremely spectacular and dazzling sight.
If one were to use immortal rings, it would probably take several to hold everything!
As for why they didn't just bring a few immortal rings, which would have been simpler and more convenient, in Yue Qingyou’s words, only by being this grand and spectacular could it highlight the noble status and temperament of the Demon Lord and display the power of her Demon Realm!
After unloading all the treasures, Ye Tianshen and the other Demon God Generals came before Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying, placed a hand on their chests, knelt on one knee, and addressed them with respectful solemnity:
"Greetings, Demon Lord! Madam! Little Princess!"
"Greetings, Lord Left Guardian!"
Hearing the way Ye Tianshen and the other Demon God Generals addressed Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying, the members of the Luo Shen Palace were once again dumbfounded.
Madam… are they addressing our Eldest Miss…?
In that case, our Young Master, he really is the Demon Lord…?!
At this moment, even the slowest person had confirmed that their Young Master, whom they had thought was just a mortal, was really the Demon Lord…!
They couldn't believe that the son-in-law of their Luo Shen Palace was actually the Demon Lord…
Ning Yechen also hadn't expected that Yue Qingyou would arrange things so grandly and call over so many people.
But it was just what he wanted.
Ning Yechen took a step forward and, looking down on the great families of the Heavenly Realm below, said calmly:
"Since everyone from the Heavenly Realm happens to be here today, this Lord will speak frankly."
"From this day forward, the Luo Shen Palace is under the protection of the Demon Realm!"
"To be an enemy of the Luo Shen Palace is to be an enemy of this Lord, and an enemy of the Demon Realm!"
After today, be it the great clans within the Heavenly Realm or the other scattered Immortals, they should know who they can provoke and who they cannot!
"Yes...!" Tianshu Xiu and the others bowed and replied.
The members of the Luo Shen Palace were completely intimidated by Ning Yechen’s arrogant aura. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: As expected of the Demon Lord. Not a single one of the most powerful families in the Heavenly Realm dared to go against his will.
Luo Ruying knew that everything Ning Yechen was doing was for her. Her heart couldn't help but warm, and a gentle, light smile appeared on her face.
"Husband, I appreciate your kind intentions, but the things sent by the Qin Immortal Residence and the other families are more than enough."
"The Luo Shen Palace really cannot accept these treasures brought from the Demon Realm."
She knew this was to help the Luo Shen Palace revive, but the gifts were simply too much…
"Madam, these treasures brought by Ye Tianshen have a special meaning."
"These are all the betrothal gifts from the Demon Lord to you and the Luo Shen Clan~"
"Please accept them~" Yue Qingyou said with a faint smile, stepping forward and bowing.
"Be-Betrothal gifts…?" Luo Ruying was at a loss for a moment.
She had never thought of wanting any betrothal gifts…
Besides, as cultivators, they generally wouldn't want such things like mortals…
Luo Ruying was about to refuse again, but her gaze suddenly fell upon Luo Tianshan and the other elders not far away. Their eyes were all shining, and they were staring at her with pitiful, expectant looks…
As if they were saying to her: Please, Eldest Miss, don't refuse…!
Even Luo Tianya found it hard to resist such temptation. His eyes were fixed on the crates of treasures before him, yet he still wore a look of feigned reserve…
Father, elders, can't you all restrain yourselves a little…
Luo Ruying couldn't help but let out a light sigh.
How could she have the heart to refuse again…
"Alright, fine…”
