Chapter 429 – Have a Good Recall of the Fear of Being Dominated by the Lord Demon Lord

Shadow’s pitch-black face, which lacked any facial features, took a deep look at Xujian Jun, then lifted its head to look at the women gathered around and the dungeon environment.

Seeing that Xujian Jun’s injuries were severe and his entire body was bound by Spirit-Binding Ropes, it slowly retracted the shadow blades held against the necks of Xujian Jun and the women beside him.

It was the Master’s shadow, and similarly, it could not accept the betrayal of its Master by anyone within the Demon Realm!

After hearing Yue Qingyou’s order, it had arrived within the Xujian family residence in the Northern Domain in an instant to infiltrate and investigate.

After searching the entire place, it finally found Xujian Jun’s trail within the dungeon.

Judging by the current situation, Xujian Jun did not seem to have betrayed the Master.

As the shadow blades at their necks vanished, the terrified expressions of the women eased slightly, and they gasped for breath with lingering fear.

Unlike the powerful and solemn Left Guardian, this equally powerful Right Guardian was extremely mysterious.

It would always appear as a shadow in various dark corners, making it difficult to detect.

Even within this kind of barrier-enclosed dungeon, it could completely ignore the existence of the barrier and emerge from the shadows in the corner!

It could be said that once targeted by it, there was almost nowhere to hide!

Under the gaze of Xujian Jun and the others, Shadow slowly transformed into Ning Yechen’s appearance, staring coldly at him and asking:

“Xujian Jun, why are you trapped here?”

“The Master and Qingyou almost thought you were going to lead the ten thousand demons of the North to rebel.”

“The Master trusts you very much, but Qingyou is very disappointed and angry with you.”

Hearing that Yue Qingyou was very disappointed and angry with him, Xujian Jun and the others involuntarily gulped, and a drop of cold sweat rolled down their foreheads.

Although he was prepared and knew that Yue Qingyou would certainly be very angry, his heart couldn’t help but skip a beat upon actually hearing this news.

A dangerous chill enveloped his entire body…

Fortunately, the Lord Demon Lord still trusted him; otherwise, he felt that the one coming this time wouldn’t have been Shadow, but Yue Qingyou herself…

“Many thanks for the Lord Demon Lord’s trust…”

“I, Xujian Jun, guarantee with my life that the ten thousand demons of the Northern Domain have absolutely no intention of defying the Lord Demon Lord!”

“This matter is complicated; please listen to me tell you, Lord Shadow.”

“I beg of you to explain the matters of the Northern Domain to the Lord Demon Lord and the Lord Left Guardian.”

“At that time, whether the Lord Demon Lord and the Lord Left Guardian wish to kill or flay me, I, Xujian Jun, will not have a single word of complaint!”

Xujian Jun solemnly entreated Shadow.

Following that, he recounted the events of Xujian Kongling’s sudden return to the Xujian family, his defeat, and the reclaiming of the Northern Domain’s leadership to Shadow one by one.

Shadow nodded upon hearing this.

“I understand.”

“I will relay this matter to the Master.”

“Do you need me to take you out?”

Shadow pointed at the Spirit-Binding Ropes on Xujian Jun’s body and inquired.

As long as Xujian Jun nodded, it could immediately sever these Spirit-Binding Ropes and take them away from this place.

Without even thinking, Xujian Jun shook his head decisively.

“Many thanks for the Lord Right Guardian’s kindness, but let me remain here for the time being.”

“I stay here because I still have matters to entrust.”

With his current posture of being heavily injured, he truly lacked the face to be brought back to Evernight Sovereign City by Shadow to meet the Lord Demon Lord and the Lord Left Guardian.

If he were seen by the others, he would inevitably become a laughingstock.

Moreover, the Lord Left Guardian was currently in a fit of rage, so he dared even less to return…

Furthermore, by staying here, he had extremely important matters to instruct the people of the Northern Domain.

Hearing that Xujian Jun had no intention of leaving with it, Shadow did not ask further and instantaneously vanished into the shadows without a trace.

Xujian Jun and the others were not seeing Shadow’s special ability for the first time and were already long accustomed to it.

After waiting quietly in the dungeon for a while, the person Xujian Jun was waiting for finally arrived late.

“Lord Xujian Jun!”

The old butler of the Xujian family sneaked over to the front of the dungeon, greeting Xujian Jun inside with tears in his eyes.

His name was Xujian Yan; he had been responsible for serving Xujian Jun since he was very young and had been the butler of the Xujian family for nearly a thousand years.

It could be said that Xujian Jun was watched by him as he grew up.

Now seeing Xujian Jun’s injuries so severe, his face pale and weak, he couldn’t help but shed tears.

“Old Yan, you have come at the right time!”

Xujian Jun saw Xujian Yan, and a faint smile appeared on his weak face.

He knew Xujian Yan’s loyalty to him; he would definitely come to the dungeon to visit him.

Therefore, he had been waiting for his arrival all along.

“Old Yan, how is the situation in the Northern Domain now?”

Xujian Jun asked.

“Lord Xujian Jun, after the Lord Ancestor took control of the Xujian family and the Northern Domain, he immediately summoned everyone in the Northern Domain and is already prepared to head south!”

Xujian Yan said with a worried expression.

The ten thousand demons of the Northern Domain resisting the current Demon Lord—this is an act of great treason!

Hearing this, Xujian Jun frowned slightly, his expression worried.

Even if it is true that he is imprisoned and the Lord Demon Lord and Lord Left Guardian do not hold him accountable, once the rebellion of the Northern Domain’s ten thousand demons becomes a reality, this crime would at least require the hundreds of thousands of Northern Domain troops involved to atone with their deaths!

The price of starting the flames of war—the Lord Demon Lord will certainly not be lenient!

“Lord Xujian Jun, what should we do…?”

Xujian Yan also knew this well and inquired with a worried and panicked expression.

The women also focused their gazes on Xujian Jun.

Xujian Jun pondered for a moment, then spoke and instructed:

“Old Yan, do everything in your power to notify the various clan heads within the Northern Domain and tell them to carefully recall how the Lord Demon Lord and the Lord Left Guardian conquered the entire Demon Realm step by step in the beginning!”

“Think carefully about the fate of the Thousand Demon Clan of the Western Domain!”

“Think carefully about who is the Lord of the Northern Domain to whom they swore their loyalty!”

“If they understand, they will know what to do.”

“If they don’t understand, then let them be…”

“Yes, this old servant understands!”

Hearing this, Xujian Yan’s expression froze, and he instantly understood Xujian Jun’s meaning, immediately bowing his head solemnly to accept the order.

Back then, the Lord Demon Lord and the Lord Left Guardian were nothing more than two nameless pawns in the Demon Realm.

But the two of them fought their way all the way from nameless alleys to the current position of the Demon Lord with slaughtering methods and astonishing, heaven-defying strength!

Back then, the titles of Ye Mochen and the Word Spirit Death God shocked both the Immortal and Demon Realms; all who heard them were filled with fear and trembling!

Anyone in the Demon Realm who has lived even a little longer—who among them does not know of the deeds of the Lord Demon Lord and the Lord Left Guardian in the Demon Realm?

Thinking back, one cannot help but feel their whole body turning cold and trembling.

As long as everyone is made to recall the methods and strength of the Lord Demon Lord and the Lord Left Guardian, they will naturally know what to do…

“Then Lord Xujian Jun, this old servant shall take his leave now to notify the various lords!”

Xujian Yan did not dare to delay and hurriedly bowed and retreated.

Xujian Jun watched Xujian Yan’s figure leave the dungeon, then couldn’t help but raise his head and let out a long sigh.

He has done all he could do; the rest depends on whether the others know how to choose…
