Chapter 2553: Chapter 2553: Palace in the Mountains
Su Yang was speechless and said urgently, "Do you think the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor’s absence from the Great World means the Guardian God will care about that treaty? The Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor has mysteriously disappeared for tens of thousands of years, and the Guardian God has long wanted to tear up the treaty. The Demon Beast Clan has always been regarded as livestock by the Guardian God. How long do you think they will adhere to this treaty?"
The Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor frowned, staring at Su Yang as if pondering the credibility of Su Yang’s words.
"Talking to you about all this nonsense is meaningless!" Su Yang said directly, "Take me to see the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor. I’ll speak to him myself, and he’ll understand!"
"The Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor is not someone you can just see whenever you want!" The Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor immediately responded angrily.
"Damn!" Su Yang couldn’t help but curse, "At this time, you’re still talking about useless things. If the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor isn’t someone I can meet at will, and you don’t believe my words, then what are we going to do? Just stand here staring at each other?"
The Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor pondered for a while, then said, "How about this? You release me, I’ll go find the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor and inform him. What do you think?"
Su Yang frowned slightly, looking at the Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor. It was now his turn to consider whether the Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor was just fooling him.
After thinking for a moment, Su Yang finally nodded, "Alright, I agree with your suggestion. I’ll release you, and you go inform the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor. I’ll wait here for you. No matter what news you have, you must come back and tell me, how about it?"
The Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor looked somewhat bewildered. Clearly, he did not expect Su Yang to actually agree to release him. He had said it as a way to test Su Yang, but Su Yang’s response was indeed beyond his expectations.
"Okay!" The Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor nodded, "No matter the news, I’ll come back to tell you!"
"That’s good!" Su Yang nodded, withdrawing the power that was confining the Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor, releasing him.
"You can go now!" Su Yang nodded and said.
The Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor looked at Su Yang, slowly flew into the air, and continued to watch Su Yang vigilantly while flying, as if worried that Su Yang might attack unexpectedly.
"I said I’d release you, so there’s no need to be so cautious!" Su Yang waved his hand and said, "Go quickly to inform the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor; we don’t have much time. The Guardian God has already acted, and the Human Clan and Demon Beast Clan outside won’t hold on for much longer!"
The Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor nodded and quickly flew into the cave on the cliff.
Su Yang did not pursue but remained standing there waiting.
After about half a day, Su Yang clearly noticed that there were more than a dozen Demon Beast Great Saint Emperors above the valley where he was.
The eyes of these Demon Beast Great Saint Emperors were clear, indicating that they had not lost their sanity.
Su Yang ignored them, knowing that these Great Saint Emperors were definitely called by the previous Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor to keep an eye on him. That Great Saint Emperor was probably worried that Su Yang would follow him and deliberately sent these Great Saint Emperors over.
After another full two days, the former Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor finally returned. His face showed no emotion as he landed in front of Su Yang and said coldly, "The Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor requests your presence!"
Su Yang was delighted; this was the best possible outcome. Being able to meet the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor meant he could explain everything clearly.
"Lead the way!" Su Yang immediately said.
The Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor said nothing, flying ahead to lead Su Yang straight into the cave on the cliff.
After passing through more than a dozen such caves, finally, in the middle of one cave, the Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor suddenly stopped.
Su Yang looked at him questioningly, only to see the Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor move aside several huge stones on the ground, revealing a hole beneath them.
Su Yang was full of surprise; he didn’t expect there to be such a hole in the middle of this cave.
The Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor flew directly into the hole, and Su Yang followed closely behind. It was uncertain how long they descended before they finally reached the ground.
Inside, it was bright and not stiflingly dark at all.
Su Yang turned his head to look around; this didn’t resemble a cave but rather a vast underground world.
Looking up, the ceiling couldn’t be seen. It was as if they had entered another space entirely, and it didn’t look like a cave at all.
The Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor led Su Yang forward, continuing for about half an hour until they arrived outside an enormous palace.
Su Yang never dreamed that there could be such a large palace beneath this cave.
Outside the palace were four people standing guard, and from their aura, they were powerful Great Saint Emperors, their strength on par with Su Yang.
The Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor approached these four, bowed, and said, "Esteemed Saint Emperor Guards, I have brought the person the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor wishes to see!"
Only then did Su Yang realize that these four were all Saint Emperor Guards.
Who would have thought the Saint Emperor Guards would be so strong?
And these were just four; it’s important to know there are a total of three hundred Saint Emperor Guards. Combined, they are indeed a formidable force not to be underestimated!
Su Yang was even more excited internally; with the strong power on the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor’s side, the hope of opposing the Guardian God seemed greater.
The four Saint Emperor Guards scrutinized Su Yang, seemingly concluding that he posed no threat to the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor, then made way for the entrance.
The Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor led Su Yang into the palace. Upon entering, Su Yang immediately sensed a formidable presence.
This was a kind of terrifying pressure, as if someone of unrivaled power stood before you, making it hard not to feel the urge to kneel and worship.
Su Yang struggled to remain standing, looking up, yet there was nothing around. He couldn’t help but wonder where this pressure was coming from. This pressure was far more terrifying than that exuded by Dao Ji; it shouldn’t be the aura of the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor, right?
Su Yang glanced at the Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor, intending to inquire, but the Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor continued forward with his head down, showing no intention of speaking to Su Yang, so Su Yang refrained.
Following the stone corridors of the palace for two hours, twisting through the paths, they finally arrived in a grand hall.
Outside the hall were over a dozen Saint Emperor Guards, the Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor went up to announce their arrival, and only then did these Saint Emperor Guards allow him to bring Su Yang into the hall.
Inside the hall, Su Yang saw over a hundred Saint Emperor Guards busily working on something.
And at the main seat at the deepest part of the hall, a burly man sat.
The man’s eyes were sharp, his big hands resting on the edges of the main seat, looking ahead arrogantly, as if everything was under his control.
Without needing an introduction from the Demon Beast Great Saint Emperor, Su Yang knew that this must be the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor!
