Chapter 1799: Chapter 856: Rapid Advancement in Cultivation! (2)
Therefore, after the triumphant return, he handed over half of the Beiliang Army’s power to the court for them to handle, and reported every detail of the affairs on the grassland to the capital.
He could be called a model king of a different surname.
"Mr. Yao, please."
Wei Wuque picked up the teacup in his hand and made a slight gesture.
Fen Tian Demon Emperor smiled faintly, nodded, blew on the tea in his hand, and took a light sip. The bitter taste penetrated deep into his throat, but upon dissolving, it instantly turned sweet.
"How is it?"
"Bitterness mixed with sweetness, an endless aftertaste, especially the spiritual energy that is hard to describe with words. Good tea, good tea, thank you for the hospitality, King Liang." Fen Tian Demon Emperor said with a smile.
"Haha, this tea is a tribute from the capital. Even I only receive a small amount each month. It is the tea that the Regent King usually drinks, naturally it is profound and mysterious."
Wei Wuque chuckled lightly.
"King Liang is truly valued by the Regent King, I admire you." Fen Tian Demon Emperor complimented.
"It’s nothing, it’s nothing. However, sir, you have been staying in Liangzhou City for half a year now. I wonder if there is anything you need. Feel free to speak out.
I might be able to help." Wei Wuque’s eyes flickered, glancing at the other person.
The true identity of Fen Tian Demon Emperor he naturally did not know, but according to his investigation, this person was not ordinary, his cultivation strength was unfathomable, and sitting opposite him, he could only feel that the other person was a mortal.
But with an extraordinary demeanor, who could say he was truly a mortal?
Wei Wuque believed that this person was most likely an ascetic, with powerful cultivation, probably at the Yang God level, and was entering the mortal world because of some affairs.
And he wanted to recruit this person as a tribute for the Prince Mansion.
Since his father Wei Jinfeng died in battle, the strongest in the Beiliang Royal Mansion was only a True Master of Refining God, which did not match the mansion’s prestige, and he felt insecure, urgently needing a strong ally.
"This..." Fen Tian Demon Emperor showed a hesitant expression, as if he had an unspeakable secret.
His expression fell into Wei Wuque’s eyes, making him think there was hope, and he quickly said:
"Sir, feel free to speak plainly, I will absolutely not blame you."
Fen Tian Demon Emperor nodded, silent for a moment, then said:
"I am actually seeking the whereabouts of the Regent King. I heard the Regent King went northward so I followed to this place, but afraid of encountering a strong enemy on the grassland, I did not venture onto the grassland.
Unexpectedly, the Northern Expedition Army has withdrawn from the grassland, yet the Regent King remains unseen. Could it be that the Regent King has already left?"
He indeed didn’t mind the time; a mere half year compared to his frequent retreats lasting hundreds of years was almost a blink. But he didn’t want to wait indefinitely.
He wanted to resolve this person soon, return to the Southern Border and unite the demons, unfolding his grand plan.
Of course, he wasn’t without exploring the grassland; in fact, after the Northern Expedition Army returned, he sensed something amiss and delved into searching.
However, the grassland, vast and boundless, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, making it akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
As for Chen Yuan having returned to the Central Plains, he deemed it unlikely, for many rumors about Chen Yuan circulated in the past half-year, yet none were true.
Therefore, through his deliberate actions, he quickly caught Wei Wuque’s attention, aiming to gather information from him. If Chen Yuan indeed were absent, he wouldn’t wait idly.
Prepared to act against the Divine Capital City of Central State, forcing him out.
Wei Wuque paused, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes but swiftly concealed it, asking:
"Mr. Yao seeks the Regent King’s whereabouts for what reason?"
"Haha, to be honest, I actually plan to pledge allegiance to the Regent King, hoping to attain some merit in this critical moment."
"Is that all?"
"I consider the Regent King to be a millennium talent, destined to accomplish astonishing feats, possessing immense cultivation strength, deserving the title of the strongest in the human world.
I’ve diligently cultivated for a hundred years, yet constantly hit walls in comprehending the rules, hoping the Regent King might guide my cultivation, haha... it must be amusing for King Liang."
Fen Tian Demon Emperor said.
Just as expected!
Wei Wuque thought to himself; needless to say, just the word "rules" evoked imagination, confirming this person as a legitimate Yang God True Monarch.
It’s worth knowing, even in this era of ascendance, a Yang God True Monarch holds significant status and power.
"One always seeks higher grounds, there is no fault in that. Sir needn’t be so humble." Wei Wuque thought of various things but maintained a neutral expression.
"Then... does King Liang know the Regent King’s whereabouts? If you could tell me honestly, I would be immensely grateful, and should the opportunity arise, certainly repay King Liang’s kindness."
Fen Tian Demon Emperor saluted.
"Alas, I would love to owe you, sir, a favor. Unfortunately, I truly don’t know." Wei Wuque shook his head, smiled wryly, not having seen Chen Yuan since the battle ended.
Even asking Chen Huaiyi and others yielded no clue.
"King Liang doesn’t know?"
Fen Tian Demon Emperor furrowed his brow, gaze focused.
"Indeed, I don’t know. The Regent King’s comings and goings are elusive, his cultivation unparalleled; how could I possibly infer his movements? But sir needn’t worry.
Feel free to cultivate in the Prince Mansion temporarily, when the Regent King emerges, I’ll introduce you to him. I’m sure he will give me this courtesy."
"This..." Fen Tian Demon Emperor showed hesitation.
"Of course, if sir has other places to go, I certainly won’t hinder you." Wei Wuque sensed the other’s thoughts, inwardly sighed, and said.
"Thank you, King Liang, I am indeed urgent in seeking the Regent King, planning to visit Divine Capital City to wait there."
"No problem at all, sir, feel free to go."
"I..." Fen Tian Demon Emperor was about to exchange some pleasantries but suddenly furrowed his brows, sensing a powerful aura approaching.
His gaze quickly turned northeast, eyes narrowing slightly.
"What’s wrong, sir?"
Wei Wuque asked curiously, not understanding why he suddenly froze.
"Haha, it’s nothing. I just find it amusing that after waiting for half a year without seeing the Regent King, just as I was about to leave, I encounter him, haha... hahaha..."
Fen Tian Demon Emperor’s lips curved into a mysterious smile, his eyes flashing with excitement.
Finally, the wait was over!
His long wait was not in vain, for fear of alarming the person causing them to hide, he’d almost wreaked havoc in the Central Plains.
"What, the Regent King is here?"
Wei Wuque immediately stood up excitedly.
To him, Chen Yuan was nearly a divine presence now.
The void in the mansion suddenly began to distort, a young man in a black robe tore through the void, stepping out, his gaze instantly fell upon Fen Tian Demon Emperor.
His eyes filled with a solemn expression.
It was, Chen Yuan!
"Little King pays respect to the Regent King!" Wei Wuque immediately saluted, but after several breaths received no response, sensing something amiss, he looked up.
Mr. Yao was staring at the Regent King.
He instantly felt an inexplicable sense of crisis, quickly saying:
"Regent King, this person..."
But before he could finish, Chen Yuan interrupted, stared at Fen Tian Demon Emperor, and asked:
"You... were waiting for me?"
Between strong individuals, they could transform the surrounding world into a domain, therefore, when Fen Tian Demon Emperor sensed Chen Yuan’s aura, his concealed aura was also detected by Chen Yuan.
"I, the Emperor, have waited for you long." Fen Tian Demon Emperor smiled faintly, instantly, light flowed around him, his fiery red hair began to change color, eyes narrow.
Nose like an eagle’s hook, eyes deep with a flicker of fiery red light, while an immense aura surged skyward.
"Who... are you?!"
"You may call me... Fen Tian!"

Regarding the sluggishness, the author indeed feels somewhat powerless, like the common problem of a book’s later stage.
