Chapter 232 The Tragic Demon General
[Lan Yue: That's hilarious! It turns out that the demon general was originally a male demon, but in order to complete the mission, the demon king forced him to become a human woman and be the mother of his two grown sons.]
[After the demon king left, to make amends for his mistake, he told his two "sons" that their father was gone and that he would raise them alone from now on. He didn't expect them to do anything; they just needed to repay him properly in the future.]
[The demon general was initially deeply moved by his actions, confident that he would successfully complete his mission. However, his two eldest sons had already sensed something amiss. Not only were they constantly climbing on the roof and tearing off tiles, but they had also secretly tricked him into going to the home of a very cruel and elderly demon king. Their reasoning was that they couldn't let their widowed mother be too lonely and needed to find her a new husband so the family would be complete.]
[The old demon king, unaware that it was all a trap, still believed that this beautiful woman genuinely loved him. He felt great pity for this widowed mother, who had lost her husband and was struggling to raise two children alone in the demon realm. As a result, he went through all the proper courtesies and married this "widowed mother."]
[This demon general tried to escape, and had just returned home. Before he could even report his mission to his superiors, his two eldest sons knocked him unconscious and forcibly sent him back to the old demon king's bridal sedan chair, where they told the old demon king that their mother was just shy...]
[What kind of touching mother-son scene is this? The demons probably never imagined it would turn out like this, right? A demon general and a demon king couldn't defeat the two of them, and in the end, they lost both their wives and their troops.]
Lan Yue laughed inwardly, her unrestrained laughter echoing throughout the entire sacred mountain of Beiling Holy Land.
Many people looked at each other in bewilderment, but soon they couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that although the demons had come up with this very insidious plan before.
However, it's not foolproof. At least one Northern Ridge Holy Son and one Southern Spirit Sect Master are enough to give those people a hard time. No wonder we haven't heard any news about them all these years. It seems that this plan has already died in the womb.
I don't know what the Holy Son of Beiling and the Sect Master of Nanling Sect were thinking, daring to do such a thing in the Demon Realm. It seems that they are too narrow-minded and only know how to fear the arrival of the Demon Race.
Didn't you see that those two have already stirred up trouble for the entire demon race from the rear? Just think about it for a moment, and you can imagine what will happen next, how ashamed and furious that demon general will be, and how furious that old demon king will be when he finds out about this.
I have to say, this was even more satisfying than when the Holy Son of Beiling went to chop down the Demon King's Palace with an axe a while ago! Sure enough, you can't play by the rules when dealing with demons; you can't give those ferocious and cunning demons even the slightest chance!
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Yun Chong, the real person involved, seemed to be lost in thought. After listening to Lan Yue's thoughts, he seemed to have a vision of what had happened before, as if he saw the scene of him and another person playing tricks on that demon general.
Thinking back on it now, it did feel incredibly familiar to him, as if it had just happened yesterday.
But there was still one thing that puzzled him greatly: why did he have no memory of these events at all later on?
If he still remembered what happened back then, he certainly wouldn't have let the Holy Son of Beiling search for his daughter alone forever; he would have searched everywhere for her as well.
Even if they don't accept the Holy Son of Beiling as a person, their daughter is innocent. She came into this world as they expected.
Thinking of this, Yun Chong subconsciously looked towards an ancient tree not far away. He felt that the aura there was somewhat familiar, and the fleeting spiritual consciousness made him even more concerned.
Upon hearing this, the Holy Son of Beiling subconsciously held his breath and quietly moved himself behind the towering ancient tree.
After all, he didn't know how to face Yun Chong or how to explain those things.
The two thoughtful people had no idea that the bound deputy demon general in the palace had turned green again.
The deputy demon general of the Crimson Demon General's Mansion next to him was somewhat puzzled and glanced at his colleague again.
"That demon general is unlucky, not you. Why are you reacting so strongly? Could it be that you two are really in the same boat?"
The deputy demon general's face turned even greener. His dark red lips twitched a few times, but he finally turned his head away in grief and indignation.
Back in the day, how glorious he was! At such a young age, he rose to the position of Demon General and even owned his own Demon General's Mansion!
Just as he was working diligently and cultivating every day, waiting to break through to the Demon King realm, he received this mission.
He was already forced to become a human woman by another demon king because he was weak in combat, but he also had to endure humiliation and marry another old demon king!
This old Wang was as ugly as the demon king who forced him to become a woman; his face was wrinkled more than tree bark, and his body was so thin that only skin remained!
Moreover, this demon king married him not out of genuine desire to live with him, but rather to drink fresh human blood every day in order to maintain the old demon king's vitality!
Ever since learning that he was not human but a demon general, the old demon king showed no remorse whatsoever, and instead became even more ruthless, completely disregarding this demon general from the Demon King's Palace! He became even more excited!
God knows what he went through during those days. He went through so much trouble to escape, only to find that his mission had also failed, and the two humans had already escaped!
What a heartbreaking and dark history this is! He thought he had fallen from the position of Demon General to Deputy Demon General, spending his days hiding among humans and not returning to the Demon Realm for so many years. He thought everything would be fine, and no one would know about those things. Who knew that someone actually knew! And that they would expose everything!
His face grew increasingly green, as if he had just expelled a huge pile of excrement. The deputy demon general from the Crimson Demon General's Mansion opposite him suddenly realized something: "Your brother, could he be yourself?"
Suddenly, his expression became even stranger.
He had actually heard about that incident before, after all, the old demon king was so famous for his indiscriminate fondness for strong demon generals that there was no way to cover it up.
So the demon general who was so miserable back then, and was carried out of the old demon king's mansion, is the one right in front of us?
At that time, he was also a deputy demon general. However, he was traumatized by that incident and refused one opportunity after another to be promoted to demon general, choosing instead to remain a deputy demon general.
I never expected that he would actually be able to meet me, the Demon King! What a twist of fate!
At this moment, the deputy demon general from the Crimson Demon General's Mansion looked at him with pity, while the deputy demon general opposite him was not so happy, but rather seemed to have lost his soul.
"So, brother, how exactly did you overcome your psychological trauma and come to the Holy Son of Beiling to do a mission?" The deputy demon general of the Crimson Demon General's Mansion was extremely curious.
The opposing deputy demon general: "..."
He actually intended to take revenge himself, but who knew he would be tricked and killed by this deputy demon general in front of him. He had been lying in ambush for so many years without anyone knowing, but he was caught just because he went out on a mission with this deputy demon general from the Southern Region.
He will never touch the demons in the south again; they're just bad luck!
He let out a heavy sigh and buried his head in his hands.
[Lan Yue: Oh dear, now that their nominal demon parents are dealt with, the Holy Son of Beiling and Sect Master Yun are finally free. They pretended to be saving money to buy medicine for their mother's injuries, ran off to a demon mine, and used the opportunity to sneak away.]
[However, the Demon Realm is a completely closed world. The Holy Son of Beiling possesses a special talent, allowing him to break through any forbidden zone, but he couldn't immediately bridge the gap between the two realms. So, the two decided to play along, thinking that the most dangerous place was the safest place, and went together to the Demon King's Palace, venturing into its secret realm.]
As Lan Yue finished speaking, before she even began to investigate the Demon King's Palace secret realm, the Fifth Prince, who was hiding there, suddenly changed his expression.
Other humans might not know, but he had lived in the Demon King's Palace since childhood, so how could he not know? The secret realms stored in the Demon King's Palace were all left over from ancient times, and had gone through countless tens of thousands of years.
On the human side, the most valuable secret realms, especially those that have been discovered in advance, are usually controlled by the major sects.
However, those suddenly appearing secret realms attract countless people to explore them, serving as training grounds for the human race.
However, the secret realms of the Demon King's Palace are different. These secret realms are not for the demons to grow and train. Instead, they contain countless rare and precious materials and spiritual objects.
These have been accumulated bit by bit over tens of thousands of years in the Demon Realm. The quantity is considerable and they are controlled by the major families of the Demon Realm. They are the foundation of the Demon Race's existence!
So, the theft of the Demon King's Palace a hundred years ago was actually related to the Northern Ridge Holy Land and the Southern Spirit Sect?
Thinking about this almost made him vomit blood from anger.
It's amazing how those old folks managed to keep it a secret for so long! Every time we ask about it, they insist it was gnawed by rats!
