Chapter 332 – You Seem to be Doubting This Lord?

What…?!

The Demon Lord is here again?!

Hearing this, Tianshu Xiu’s expression was one of shock. The ancestors of the other great reclusive clans present were also startled.

“The Demon Lord isn’t here to hold us accountable, is he…?!”

“But the Lanling Clan has already been annihilated by his people…”

“Exactly, the Lanling Clan provoked the Demon Lord. It shouldn’t have anything to do with us, right…”

“What do we do now…?”

“Calm down, calm down…”

Tianshu Xiu raised his hand and spoke to placate the crowd. However, his own palm was trembling slightly, unable to stop…

“Quick, quick, invite the Demon Lord in…”

“No need. This Lord has already arrived.”

As Tianshu Xiu’s voice fell, the great doors of the Judgment Divine Palace shattered with a boom.

Ning Yechen walked in leisurely, holding Luo Ruying’s hand.

This time, no one at the door dared to stop them.

Luo Ruying also gave Ning Yechen a helpless eye-roll. The doors of the Judgment Divine Palace had just been replaced, and he had destroyed them again…

Can’t you just push a door open properly for once…

“Demon Lord…”

Seeing Ning Yechen enter, everyone present hurriedly stood up from their seats, politely revealing smiles that were uglier than crying.

“Everyone, don’t be so formal. Sit~”

Ning Yechen said with a smile, standing before the table and addressing Tianshu Xiu and the others.

One person sat down with a smile, but when he discovered that the others beside him had not sat down and were looking at him with strange gazes, he hurriedly and meekly stood up again…

The Demon Lord hasn’t sat down, and you dare to sit…?

Only after Ning Yechen sat down with Luo Ruying did the others cautiously sit down.

At this moment, sitting at the table, the crowd felt as never before what it was like to be on pins and needles, with spikes at their backs…

“Everyone, don’t be nervous. This Lord has come only to ask about a matter.”

Ning Yechen said, propping his arm on the table and looking at the crowd with a gentle smile.

The moment they heard this, their hearts leaped into their throats.

As expected, the Demon Lord is here to find fault…?!

“Demon Lord, are you here regarding the matter of the Lanling Clan…?”

“I dare to assure you, Demon Lord, that the matter of the Lanling Clan was absolutely not our intention!” Tianshu Xiu spoke up and solemnly guaranteed.

Ning Yechen was slightly taken aback, then shook his head with a smile.

“This Lord did not come regarding the matter of the Lanling Clan.”

“However, since you’ve mentioned it, this Lord will add one more thing.”

“The Lanling Clan attempted to frame this Lord’s wife in the Immortal Realm Trials, so this Lord made the Lanling Clan disappear.”

“Don’t blame this Lord for not reminding you. Anyone who dares to make a move on this Lord’s people, even if it’s just anyone from the Luo Shen Palace, this Lord will not show mercy!”

After speaking, Ning Yechen’s cold gaze swept over Tianshu Xiu and the others present.

A chill ran down their backs, and not a single person dared to make a sound.

After a good while, the crowd finally and hurriedly expressed:

“We understand…”

“Since you are not here regarding the Lanling Clan’s matter, Demon Lord, then for what reason have you come?” Tianshu Xiu asked respectfully, looking at Ning Yechen.

“This Lord has come regarding the Immortal-Demon War from over a hundred years ago.” Ning Yechen said calmly.

The Immortal-Demon War from over a hundred years ago…?

That was over a hundred years ago. Why bring it up now…?

Hearing this, Tianshu Xiu and the others couldn’t help but look at each other with puzzled expressions.

Luo Ruying, sitting beside Ning Yechen, proactively spoke up and asked:

“Lord Tianshu Xiu, over a hundred years ago, did you ever send people to the Demon Realm to attack the demon clan?”

“Absolutely not!”

“At that time, the Immortal and Demon realms were at peace, neither disturbing the other. How could I have proactively sent people to invade the Demon Realm?”

Tianshu Xiu replied solemnly and without hesitation.

The reason he had not ascended to the Divine Realm, which countless people yearned for after stepping into the Transcendent Immortal realm, was precisely to guard the peace of the Heavenly Realm.

Maintaining the peace and tranquility of the Heavenly Realm had always been his Tianshu Clan’s mission and duty.

He would never proactively provoke other realms in the name of the Heavenly Realm.

Hearing Tianshu Xiu’s answer, Luo Ruying’s beautiful brows narrowed slightly, her expression pensive.

As expected, even Tianshu Xiu himself doesn’t know…

“Luo Shen Empress, why do you suddenly ask this?” Tianshu Xiu asked with a puzzled expression, seeing Luo Ruying seem to be in thought.

“To be honest with you, I am actually investigating a very important matter!”

“I wonder if Lord Tianshu Xiu still remembers how the Immortal-Demon War started back then?”

Luo Ruying’s expression was serious as she continued to press.

Tianshu Xiu was at a loss for words for a moment, hesitating to speak as he looked at Ning Yechen.

“Just answer this Lord’s wife’s question.”

“You don’t need to mind this Lord.”

Ning Yechen, knowing Tianshu Xiu was concerned about him, said with an indifferent expression.

Hearing Ning Yechen say this, only then did Tianshu Xiu boldly and directly answer:

“Back then, it was the demon clan who first invaded the Heavenly Realm, which then triggered the Immortal-Demon War…”

“Then does Lord Tianshu Xiu know the appearance of the person who invaded the Heavenly Realm back then?” Luo Ruying asked hurriedly.

This was a crucial clue!

Tianshu Xiu tried to recall, but in the end, he shook his head and replied with a solemn expression:

“It is said that the several people on the other side were all wearing masks to conceal their faces, so their true appearances could not be seen.”

“But there is one thing I can be very certain of!”

“The other party’s cultivation was very powerful!”

“At least not beneath my own!”

“Back then, when a part of the demon clan led by the other party invaded the Heavenly Realm, several sect masters at the Immortal Emperor cultivation realm had made a move.”

“But without exception, all of them were annihilated before I arrived!”

After speaking, Tianshu Xiu couldn’t help but turn his gaze towards Ning Yechen.

As far as he knew, there were not many people in the Demon Realm with such terrifying cultivation abilities…

Ning Yechen, sensing Tianshu Xiu’s gaze, gave a cold glance and sneered with disdain:

“You seem to be doubting this Lord?”

“If this Lord were to make a move, I would not wear a mask.”

“Nor would I flee before you arrived.”

“You would have been among those who were annihilated.”

Tianshu Xiu: “…”

“What the Demon Lord says is absolutely right…” Tianshu Xiu said with a bitter smile, his cheeks twitching slightly.

As expected of the Demon Lord, he didn’t hold him in any regard at all…

Initially, he had also suspected that the Demon Lord had personally acted, but later he felt it was unlikely. After all, given the Demon Lord’s style, he would scorn to conceal his appearance…

Unable to get a description of the other party, Luo Ruying couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

However, knowing that the other party had deliberately concealed their appearance made her even more certain that they were truly trying to provoke a conflict between the Immortal and Demon realms!

It was just that the other party acted with extreme caution, leaving no clues at all. It seemed finding them would not be an easy task…

“Lord Tianshu Xiu, thank you for the information.”

Luo Ruying stood up, expressed her gratitude to Tianshu Xiu, and prepared to leave with Ning Yechen.

“Wait, Luo Shen Empress, you have not yet told me what exactly you are investigating?”

“Perhaps I can also be of assistance.”

Tianshu Xiu hurriedly raised his hand to stop her and asked.

From Luo Ruying’s questions, he had also vaguely sensed something…! If it wasn’t the Demon Lord back then, then who could it be…?!

Luo Ruying hesitated for a moment, then told Tianshu Xiu all of her conjectures.

Tianshu Xiu and the others present were instantly shocked upon hearing this, looking at each other in dismay.

If what Luo Ruying said was true… then could it be that the conflicts in the Six Realms, for hundreds of thousands of years since the ancient era, had all been intentionally orchestrated by someone…?!

This was an extraordinary matter!
