The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 589 - 588 Demon Marshal

Chapter 589: Chapter 588 Demon Marshal

In the central palace, a remarkably handsome young man lay reclined, swirling crimson liquid in his cup.

The young man’s beauty was so exceptional, it was almost eerily enchanting.

The young man slowly sipped his drink, looking down at another striking youth standing with hands behind his back, and said quietly, "Has the Demon Lord issued an order?"

The striking youth below, with white hair, stood with his hands behind his back and calmly replied, "Otherwise what do you think I’m doing here?"

"For this mission, Demon Sect Peak must dispatch ten Demon Marshals, a hundred Upper-Level Demon Generals, three hundred Mid-Level Demon Generals, and a thousand Lower-Level Demon Generals."

"What?" The young man above raised his voice, his gaze growing colder, "Li Sheng, are you playing games with me?"

The white-haired young man called Li Sheng snorted coldly, "This is the Demon Lord’s decree. Whatever you think about it is your business, but if you refuse to follow it, I have the authority to kill you right now."

Bang!

The young man above, enraged, crushed his cup, stood up abruptly, and looming over the white-haired youth, said darkly, "Li Sheng, you lost to me back then because you were too weak. Don’t think that just because you’ve been with the Demon Lord, I’m afraid of you!"

A powerful aura, like an angry dragon emerging from a river, filled the entire palace, as imposing as a prison!

The white-haired youth, upon hearing this, slightly curled his lips upwards, "Do you really think I didn’t learn anything under the Demon Lord’s command?"

Boom————

An even more terrifying force burst forth, instantly suppressing the imposing pressure from the young man above.

Boom!

Almost instantly, the young man above was slammed against the palace wall, unable to move, with a trickle of blood falling from the corner of his mouth.

In his eyes was a clear look of fear and disbelief, as he had not anticipated the white-haired youth to be so powerful.

Bang————

At the same time, the palace doors were blown open, and a series of powerful auras arrived, belonging to a youth or a middle-aged man of outstanding appearance, who coldly watched the white-haired youth, "Li Sheng, what are you trying to do?"

However, the white-haired youth ignored them and with a sneer looked at the young man pinned against the wall, "Yi Long, while you’ve been comfortably lounging here in Demon Sect Peak, I’ve reached the verge of the Demon Marshal’s peak. Once this matter is resolved, the Demon Lord himself will assist me in stepping into the realm of Demon King. You are no longer a match for me."

"The order is given. Whether you obey or not, that’s your problem."

"I, for one, will excuse myself!"

With a sweep of his large sleeve, the white-haired youth turned and walked away.

It was also as the white-haired youth turned that Yi Long, the young man against the wall, slid down the wall, landed steadily, and stared at the retreating figure, his eyes filled with brooding darkness.

"Lord, should we kill him?" the others who burst into the hall asked Yi Long, blocking the white-haired youth’s path.

Boom, boom, boom————

Then, they were all struck and sent flying out.

"If it weren’t for the fact that the Demon Lord is currently in need of people, just for that remark, I would have enough reason to crush you all to death," the white-haired youth said, continuing to walk without stopping, his voice carrying through the air with a chilling edge.

This Li Sheng, a former loser under Yi Long’s command, how has he become so powerful now?

Incredulous.

In the end, nobody dared to stop Li Sheng.

And nobody could.

Boom!

At that moment, the palace shook violently.

Everyone tensed up and looked up at Yi Long above.

Yi Long slammed his fist into the ground, his expression fierce, and said gravely, "Go, bring me the human girl we caught four days ago. I’ll make my breakthrough tonight. This damn Li Sheng, just you wait for me!"

To think, in just three short years, this former underling has got so audacious as to defy him.

In the words of the human race, it’s unconscionable!

"Yes, Lord!"

The Demon Marshal under Yi Long took the order.

"I originally planned to enjoy that human girl once I’d consolidated my strength, but now I must enjoy her sooner..." Yi Long sighed inwardly, feeling it was a pity.

Yet the pent-up frustration in his heart made it unbearable.

Luckily, he had captured such a top-grade girl four days earlier, or he might not have had a chance to turn the tables.

That girl’s blood was frighteningly pure.

Once he devoured it, he would definitely be able to step into the Demon King realm within three days!

Then he would see if the Demon Lord favored him or that Li Sheng.

In no time, Meng Chan was brought before Yi Long by his subordinates.

Meng Chan pretended to be asleep in her cage, cursing her bad luck silently. She was so close to escaping, but why was she brought here at this moment?

...

Outside Demon Sect Peak.

Ye Xuan flew through the sky.

Li Sheng flew away into the distance.

The two collided.

"A member of the Human Clan?"

Li Sheng, upon seeing Ye Xuan, was momentarily stunned, but showed no intention of stopping.

Nor did Ye Xuan have any intention of stopping.

"What on earth is Yi Long doing? A human has even made it here."

Li Sheng snorted coldly, his dissatisfaction with Yi Long growing in his heart.

This fellow, after defeating him back then and taking over the Demon Sect Peak, left him to lick his wounds alone and depart from the Demon Sect Peak. By a stroke of luck, he ended up under the service of the Demon Lord, and now his strength was nothing like before, nor was the spirit he possessed back then comparable.

"Fine, this is a good opportunity to report him to the Demon Lord."

Li Sheng made up his mind, deciding to deal with this Human Clan youngster before him and bring him back to the Demon Lord.

At this critical moment, the presence of a human here was extremely sensitive.

If the Demon Lord were to find out, he would definitely not let Yi Long off easily.

"Bow your head, human."

Li Sheng placed one hand behind his back and extended the other.

Boom—

In an instant, a massive, boundless giant hand descended upon Ye Xuan.

It was already night, and that dark giant hand seemed even more terrifying.

Bang!

However, at the very instant when the giant hand materialized, Li Sheng’s body stiffened, his eyes rolling back as he fell toward the ground.

And that giant hand also failed to reach its target before perishing.

With a clenched hand, Ye Xuan lifted the silver-haired young member of the Demon Clan, muttering, "After all these years, the mightiest of the Demon Clan still have that old problem—their Soul Power is pitifully weak..."

With just a slight movement of his Emperor Soul, he stunned the Demon Marshal of the Demon Clan.

You should know, those of the Demon Marshal Level at least possessed Saint Realm strength.

And this Demon Marshal clearly belonged to the Peak Level of Demon Marshal status, just one more step and he would be on par with beings like Yun Chui previously.

Such beings, were they in the East Desolate, would undoubtedly be overlords of their own domains.

However, what differed was that the powerhouses of the Demon Clan had an obvious flaw.

That is, their Soul Power was pitifully weak.

This was a complete divergence from the Human Clan.

For cultivators of the Human Clan, the further they advanced in their cultivation, the more terrifying their Soul Power became, to the extent it could reach the Realm of engendering All Things with a single thought.

But the Demon Clan was different; as long as their mightiest had not reached the Demon King Level, their Soul Power would be pitifully weak.

Only after stepping into the Realm of the Demon King, would they form a Demon Pill, and their Soul Power would surge dramatically.

Still, when it came to utilizing the Soul Power, that’s quite another story and warrants a big question mark.

The only advantage was that after the formation of the Demon Pill, their resistance to the Soul Power attacks of humans would be greatly enhanced.

This could very well be considered a compensation for their deficiencies.

"So this is the Demon Sect Peak..."

Ye Xuan surveyed the two Demon Sect Peaks and flew through.

Upon his arrival here, he had already sensed the presence of Meng Chan.

Mo Fei didn’t lie; Meng Chan was indeed here.

After passing through the Demon Sect Peak, Ye Xuan finally understood why Meng Chan could have had an unexpected misfortune in this place.

This piece of Demon Land had a major issue.

There was a natural suppressive force that could suppress the powers of the Human Clan.

It didn’t take much to guess that the reason for Meng Chan’s downfall was the influence of the Laws of this place.

Hum—

With a thought, Ye Xuan directly expanded the Chaotic Infinite Heaven.

That influence of the Laws continued to exist, but it was clearly much less significant now.

With another thought, Ye Xuan also unfolded the Primordial Hongmeng Heaven.

Now he felt much more comfortable.

"Huh?"

However, at that moment, the powerful members of the Demon Clan within Demon Sect Peak all detected Ye Xuan’s presence.

"The Human Clan?"

"The Human Clan has invaded!"

Almost instantly, the cries rang through the sky.
