“The title ‘Destined Great Demon’ sounded very imposing, and if Nangong Jingtang could truly be resurrected, it would be a tremendous achievement for all of Chaotic Demon City!”
“Thus, countless demons had tried to strike the Futiān Rebirth Drum.”
“But as a top-grade demon immortal artifact, how could the Futiān Rebirth Drum be moved by just anyone?”
“When demons approached, the demon runes immediately appeared, instantly repelling them!”
“Afterwards, some demons tried the ‘forceful miracle’ method, but whenever they acted, they clearly felt that forcing it risked damaging the drum.”
“If such an immortal artifact were damaged, affecting Nangong Jingtang’s resurrection, that person would become the eternal sinner of Chaotic Demon City.”
“No one could bear such a disgrace!”
“So over time, no one dared to try to strike the drum anymore.”
“Gradually, rumors spread among the demons claiming the Futiān Rebirth Drum was merely a fantasy left by the Peacock clan.”
“Where in the world could such a magical object exist?”
“Though many demons believed this, no one dared to act recklessly.”
“After this crisis, Chaotic Demon City was on the brink of collapse.”
“During its reconstruction, they unanimously decided to build around the position of the Futiān Rebirth Drum.”
“This was the greatest tribute to Nangong Jingtang and also a symbol of the last lingering hope in their hearts.”
“As time passed, the hundred clans of Chaotic Demon City decided to end their endless killing and instead select a true city lord by strength.”
“They vowed by their life’s path to promise the demons one thing.”
“Later, Ye Jizui won the position of City Lord.”
“On that day, he summoned all demons in the city and took a solemn oath in front of them.”
“He said that his tenure as City Lord was only temporary.”
“If one day the destined great demon appeared and struck the Futiān Rebirth Drum to resurrect Nangong Jingtang, the city lord’s position would be returned immediately.”
“This shows just how revered Nangong Jingtang was among the demons.”
“Without a doubt, all demons believed she was the true first city lord of Chaotic Demon City.”
“That’s why when the giant egg appeared, the demons present reacted so strongly.”
“After hearing Ye Jizui’s story, Ye Yu also found it incredible and looked again at the Futiān Rebirth Drum.”
“Could the dead really be revived?”
“That was simply unbelievable.”
“And what exactly defined the destined great demon?”
“Was it justice?”
“Ye Yu’s gaze returned to the giant egg, filled with complexity.”
“Ye Jizui placed a hand on Ye Yu’s shoulder.”
“‘Boy, as long as Nangong Jingtang truly comes back to life, your influence in Chaotic Demon City will be unquestionable.’”
“You could say you are the benefactor of the hundred clans; all demons will owe you favors. Tsk tsk, your future is boundless!’”
“Ye Yu’s thoughts stirred, and he quickly asked, ‘Can I get all their young demons to come to my lectures? I want to teach them what justice truly is!’”
“‘Shut up. Don’t say such things anymore. Is it fun just to entertain little kids? Can’t you be a little more ambitious?’”
“Ye Jizui was speechless and immediately rejected Ye Yu’s idea.”
“Inwardly, he muttered incessantly.”
“‘Damn it, damn it! Who did this kid learn from, always talking about justice? Could that be the difference between the destined great demon and them?’”
“‘That’s too unconventional!’”
“In the demon world, where is there such a thing as justice?”
“It’s all just might makes right!”
“To be honest, every time I hear Ye Yu say ‘justice,’ I get a headache.”
“It’s like he’s telling ghost stories in my ear—like he’s trying to fool me!’”
“While Ye Jizui was complaining internally, the voice of Sang Yuyun, the chief supervisor of Chaotic Demon City, came from outside.”
“‘City Lord, the current Peacock clan leader Nangong Xiao has come seeking an audience, wanting to take back our ancestor Nangong Jingtang.’”
“Hearing this, Ye Jizui’s expression grew serious.”
“He then called Ye Yu to accompany him to the City Lord’s hall.”
“There, they met three extraordinary men.”
“Each wore colorful demon robes that looked quite striking.”
“Perhaps ‘striking’ was an odd word for male demons, but that was the impression they gave.”
“Ye Yu couldn’t help but glance repeatedly at their robes.”
“After some brief pleasantries,”
“the current Peacock clan leader spoke directly.”
“‘City Lord, ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) we have heard that the destined great demon has appeared and struck the Futiān Rebirth Drum, summoning a giant egg.’”
“This matches perfectly with the records in our ancient texts.”
“So we have come to take it away and ensure the perfect resurrection of our ancestor Nangong Jingtang.’”
“The Peacock clan has always kept to itself.”
“Even after the reconstruction of Chaotic Demon City, they never left their mountain home outside the city.”
“So they weren’t immediately aware of yesterday’s events.”
“Ye Yu’s expression remained unchanged.”
“To be honest, whether this egg was in his hands didn’t matter much.”
“After all, this dream talent wasn’t about hatching eggs!”
“But unexpectedly, Ye Jizui immediately refused.”
“‘This egg is currently in the hands of the destined great demon and should be under their control.’”
“‘Thirty thousand years ago, during the bloody battles of Chaotic Demon City, your Peacock clan ancestors said in person that the key to Nangong Jingtang’s resurrection lies with the destined great demon. You can’t not know this!’”
“Nangong Xiao fixed his gaze on Ye Yu, staring for a moment before saying, ‘Are you truly the legendary destined great demon?’”
“To be honest, I don’t trust your power.”
“You’re only at the Demon Realm level; if anything happens, I don’t believe you can protect the ancestor’s safety.”
“‘City Lord, I say again, on behalf of the Peacock clan, we wish to welcome back our ancestor. Will you agree to this?’”
“The last words were colder in tone.”
“Ye Jizui snorted coldly.”
“A surging oppressive aura suddenly arose.”
“‘You should know who you’re talking to! As long as Nangong Jingtang doesn’t appear, I am still the City Lord of Chaotic Demon City!’”
“As for your request, I will discuss it with the leaders of the hundred clans. Go back and wait for news!’”
“Nangong Xiao’s face darkened greatly.”
“He abruptly stood up, cast a glance over Ye Yu and Ye Jizui, then led his people out of the hall.”
