Chapter 1428: Chapter 1333: Ancient Demon Clan
Just ask, who else?!!!
Dan Tai Wuqing no longer wished to refute.
Nor did he intend to persuade Father Emperor and Mother Empress at this moment.
Everything will be spoken with facts once Ye Tian exits seclusion.
Seeing that Dan Tai Wuqing seemed at a loss for words, Dan Tai Zhen Cang thought his daughter might have realized something and wanted to wave his hand to let Dan Tai Wuqing leave.
But at this moment.
"Hm?"
Dan Tai Zhen Cang suddenly lifted his head and glanced at the sky dome outside the Imperial Palace: "Old Third is back?"
The "Old Third" he referred to was his third son, Dan Tai Wucun.
The next moment.
A young man’s figure quickly appeared in the sky above the Imperial Palace.
"Father Emperor, your son requests an audience!"
Dan Tai Wucun said loudly. He didn’t know that Father Emperor and Mother Empress were currently in the main hall of the Imperial Palace, thinking his father was cultivating in some secluded palace.
Even so, Dan Tai Wucun was full of excitement, his eyes solemnly requesting an audience with Father Emperor.
This indicated something important.
At this moment, in the Imperial City where the Undying Imperial Court was located, over ten billion people were paying attention to the Imperial Palace.
Naturally, they heard Dan Tai Wucun’s request for an audience, and at once, many people were curious and expectant.
Today is quite lively.
"Granted." Dan Tai Zhen Cang said indifferently.
Dan Tai Wucun was startled; Father Emperor was already in the main hall?
Strange.
But he didn’t think much, stepping into the Imperial Palace and entering the main hall.
Only then did he see his sister Wuqing and his mother were also present. Moreover, the atmosphere was somewhat mysteriously strange.
"What is the matter?" Dan Tai Zhen Cang asked.
The third son, Dan Tai Wucun, was among his seven children, apart from Dan Tai Wuqing, the one he valued most.
The reason was simple: Dan Tai Wucun’s martial arts were fairly good.
At the current age of 170,000, Dan Tai Wucun was very young but had reached the Emperor Eighth Layer Realm.
Quite remarkable.
Of course, compared to Wuqing, it’s worlds apart.
To compare him to Zhou Qing, there’s simply no comparison.
A while ago, Zhou Qing went to hunt in the void, and Dan Tai Zhen Cang had the third son go with him.
Being at Zhou Qing’s side, he could learn a thing or two, and if Zhou Qing was in a good mood and gave Dan Tai Wucun some pointers, the benefits would be enormous.
Being able to stay with Zhou Qing was indeed a great fortune!!!
"Father Emperor, your son returned early because...because I have a great piece of news for Father Emperor!"
Dan Tai Wucun’s face was slightly flushed, his emotions fluctuating greatly.
It seems it truly is momentous news without a doubt.
After all, Dan Tai Wucun’s character is typically quite stable. This was something Dan Tai Zhen Cang, Zhuge Yunqing, and Dan Tai Wuqing were all aware of. At this moment, they all silently looked at Dan Tai Wucun.
"Three days ago, your son and my sister’s husband..." Dan Tai Wucun had just begun to narrate when he was interrupted by Dan Tai Wuqing.
"Sister’s husband? Zhou Qing is Zhou Qing; sister’s husband? I do not plan to marry Zhou Qing!"
Dan Tai Wuqing’s voice was calm yet very serious.
"Sister, you..."
Dan Tai Wucun just wanted to say something but was interrupted again, this time by Dan Tai Zhen Cang: "Wucun, just tell me the news, the matter of Wuqing and Zhou Qing is not for Wuqing to decide."
"Yes, Father Emperor."
Dan Tai Wucun took a deep breath and said, "Three days ago, your son and Zhou Qing, while hunting a Void Whale, happened to encounter the Ancient Demon Clan."
Encounter the Ancient Demon Clan????
As soon as Dan Tai Wucun said this, the atmosphere in the main hall became immediately silent and cold.
The Ancient Demon Clan is the mortal enemy of the Undying Imperial Court.
This Ancient Demon Clan, in fact, originally lived within the Undying Imperial Court as a tribe, but in ancient times, due to a supreme genius of the Ancient Demon Clan accidentally acquiring the legendary Witch Clan’s cultivation techniques and martial arts, their power exploded in strength.
In the following tens of millions of years, from ancient times to the Ancient Era, the Ancient Demon Clan entered a golden age of development, and at its peak, the Ancient Demon Clan produced two Great Emperors who shook the world. Even the royal lineage of the Undying Imperial Court, namely the Dan Tai Clan, struggled to control them.
Because they were too powerful, the Ancient Demon Clan naturally grew ambitious.
In the late Ancient Era, the Ancient Demon Clan finally declared war on the Dan Tai Clan, with a thunderous declaration, storming into the Imperial Palace.
That war lasted for decades.
It was extremely brutal.
If it weren’t for the Dan Tai Clan’s ultimate sacrifice of seven ancestors and the use of the super Dragon Vein beneath the Imperial Palace, along with a bit of luck, the Ancient Demon Clan might have succeeded.
The Ancient Demon Clan was a step short.
And because of that shortcoming, the Ancient Demon Clan was expelled.
In fact, if possible, the Dan Tai Clan at the time certainly wanted to root out the weed, but even after defeating the Ancient Demon Clan, they were left half-crippled and lacked the strength to root them out.
The exiled Ancient Demon Clan was ruthless, as they did not settle on any plane within the Great Thousand World.
Instead, they chose self-exile, entering the void.
In the void, there are terrifying void turbulences.
There are terrifying various void beasts. There are also unpredictable void black holes.
In any case, the void is particularly dangerous.
Choosing self-exile to settle in the void is astonishing!!!
However.
This very crazy choice led to the later prosperity of the Ancient Demon Clan.
Perhaps it was good luck, or perhaps it wasn’t destined to end, those who self-exiled into the void not only did not perish.
In fact, they adapted to the environment of the void, thus creating increasingly powerful, terrifying, and chilling physiques.
And the ever more powerful Ancient Demon Clan naturally wanted revenge.
Probably starting ten million years ago and continuing to this day, the Ancient Demon Clan, like a bone-eating worm, has been periodically attacking the Undying Imperial Court.
The Undying Imperial Court has suffered heavy losses over the past ten million years.
Countless Immortal Fields, Spirit Fields, and more have been destroyed or ruined.
Almost all the cities of the Undying Imperial Court, except the Imperial City, have been plundered.
Fortunately, the Dan Tai Clan’s foundations are deep, with plenty of trump cards.
Additionally, the Dan Tai Clan exercises a fairly gentle control over the Undying Imperial Court, with sufficient prestige and public trust. As a result, the Dragon Vein and Court Fortune of the Undying Imperial Court have remained prosperous. With the support of the Dragon Vein and Court Fortune, as long as the Dan Tai Clan firmly occupies the Imperial Palace and the Imperial City, they can barely contend with the Ancient Demon Clan.
But they can only passively defend.
Wanting to take the initiative to attack is currently impossible.
This is also why, even though the Undying Imperial Court is one of the three transcendent forces of the Great Thousand World, it is unlike the Netherworld Palace or the Desolate God Alliance, rarely appearing in the Great Thousand World, remaining very low-key.
This low profile is truly necessary; as long as the Ancient Demon Clan is not destroyed, the energy of the Undying Imperial Court can only be focused on the Ancient Demon Clan.
Of course, with the constant threat of the Ancient Demon Clan, the Undying Imperial Court, after experiencing countless pains and life-and-death situations over a million years, has unleashed incredible potential and strength.
There’s a saying that goes, potential and strength are often forced out.
It’s very true.
Although the Undying Imperial Court is one of the transcendent forces along with the Desolate God Alliance and the Netherworld Palace, its strength is probably significantly greater.
"Is Zhou Qing all right?" Dan Tai Zhen Cang asked intensely, even somewhat anxious.
The reason is simple: Zhou Qing is the hope of the Undying Imperial Court!!!
A prodigy like Zhou Qing, even spanning from ancient to the Ancient Era to today, has only produced one in the entire history of the Undying Imperial Court.
Deep down, Dan Tai Zhen Cang hoped and wished for Zhou Qing to grow into someone who could one day lead the Undying Imperial Court to truly destroy the Ancient Demon Clan. Zhou Qing must not die before maturing.
"No issue, rather it was that a squad from the Ancient Demon Clan attempting to hunt Zhou Qing, consisting of three Ancient Kings, fourteen Demon Generals, and ninety-two Demon Soldiers, all perished! All slain by Zhou Qing! All of them were beheaded by Zhou Qing!"
Dan Tai Wucun exclaimed loudly.
