Chapter 45: Does the Demon Lord recognize the little girl?
“Oh? I didn’t expect the young master to even know about this!”
Yan Kui chuckled and continued, “Since the young master has a need, I am more than willing to give it to you! It’s just a seed of demon flame, it has no use for me anymore!”
At his current level of power, a mere seed of flame was indeed of no consequence to him. He had originally intended to gather more flame seeds.
But since Ling Xue had asked, of course, he was willing to give it to him.
With that, Yan Kui flicked his fingers.
A wisp of snow-white flame floated gently toward Ling Xue.
Ling Xue collected the seed of flame.
In the future, if necessary, he now had a bargaining chip to negotiate with Yun Luoxi.
That woman had connections to the Supreme Realm, and her future was bound to be extraordinary!
“Lord Demon Master, the clan leader of the Qianling Ancient Clan requests an audience!” Just then, Xiao Xiangyu’s voice suddenly transmitted from Cangyun Heavenly Mountain.
“Qianling Ancient Clan?”
Upon hearing this message, Yan Kui’s old face twisted: “Hmph! They dared to act against the young master before, and now they come to us? I’ll go crush him into a pulp!”
“Old Yan, no need for impulsiveness. I’ll handle these matters…” Ling Xue smiled faintly.
Yan Kui looked at Ling Xue, then nodded.
This successor of the Demonic Sect, though young, had remarkable abilities.
Since Ling Xue had spoken, of course, Yan Kui would fully comply.
Let Ling Xue deal with it himself!
Then Yan Kui flicked his fingers again.
Buzz!
Immediately, a massive rift in space appeared in front of them.
A hallmark of the Extreme Martial Realm is the ability to tear open space for long-distance travel.
In an instant, a journey of ten thousand miles.
Afterward, Ling Xue, Xiao Xiao, and Yan Kui entered the spatial rift together.
They returned to Cangyun Heavenly Mountain.
’
At Cangyun Heavenly Mountain, the new headquarters of the Demonic Sect.
Inside a newly built hall, Qian Chen and Qian Xue were waiting.
Only the two of them were present—no one else from the Qianling Ancient Clan had come. Because they had come to negotiate.
On the way there, Qian Chen had already told Qian Xue his true intentions.
He planned to offer Qian Xue and the Spirit Pearl of the Qianling Ancient Clan as gifts, pleading with Ling Xue to spare the Qianling Ancient Clan.
“Xue’er, I’m sorry!”
Qian Chen looked at Qian Xue, his eyes full of guilt. “For the lives of everyone in our clan, I have no choice but to make this decision!”
Qian Xue did not blame her father. She only smiled softly, “Father, I understand! If my sacrifice can bring peace to the entire clan, it’s worth it!”
As the daughter of the clan leader, she understood the enormous pressure placed on one person for the fate of an entire clan.
So, she understood her father’s decision. She was willing to do it.
Although she had never met Ling Xue and didn’t know what kind of person he was,
she was ready to accept whatever came her way.
Even if the man was hideous and cruel, she had no complaints!
Because it was for the sake of her people!
“Think of it this way: If he agrees, and if you become the Demon Master’s wife, your future, as well as the future of the Qianling Ancient Clan, will be bright!”
Qian Chen smiled bitterly and gently patted his daughter’s shoulder.
Qian Xue also smiled bitterly. She could only hope for such good fortune!
If the Demon Master could truly treat her with sincerity, there would be no better outcome to bring peace to her heart.
Buzz!
At that moment, a sound resonated from the entrance of the hall, and a spatial rift slowly formed. Then, Ling Xue emerged from it.
Beside him were Xiao Xiao and Yan Kui.
Seeing this scene, Qian Chen’s face changed slightly!
Spatial teleportation?
So, it was true, just as the outside world said—the Demonic Sect had an Extreme Martial Realm expert.
Indeed, provoking the Demonic Sect had been a mistake.
The Taixuan Empire was doomed to failure as well.
“Greetings, Lord Demon Master!”
Qian Chen quickly cupped his hands and bowed humbly toward Ling Xue.
Qian Xue also bowed deeply beside him.
However, her gaze lingered on Ling Xue for a moment.
Was this the Demon Master of the Demonic Sect?
So young?
And his appearance—so handsome?
At least, on the surface, he was someone she could be satisfied with.
With such stunning looks and such a regal aura, no woman could dislike him.
But as for what lay inside… that remained unknown.
After arriving, Ling Xue merely glanced at Qian Chen and Qian Xue.
He didn’t need to think twice to understand why Qian Chen had brought his daughter.
He simply walked past them without acknowledging Qian Chen’s bow.
He walked directly to the main seat and sat down.
Xiao Xiao followed beside him.
Meanwhile, Yan Kui stood in the hall, hands behind his back, coldly glaring at Qian Chen and Qian Xue.
He had followed Ling Xue’s father in the past and had an equally volatile temper.
If Ling Xue hadn’t said he would handle it himself, Yan Kui might have already killed them.
The mere Qianling Ancient Clan dared to provoke the new Demon Master of the Demonic Sect?
They were courting death!
“Qian Xue, or… Qian Xue’er?” Ling Xue spoke first, addressing Qian Xue by name.
“Either is fine, Lord Demon Master, as you wish!”
Qian Xue and Qian Chen turned around and bowed again.
Qian Xue did indeed have two names.
Qian Xue was the name given by her mother, while Qian Xue’er was the name given by her father.
“Does the Demon Master recognize my daughter?” Qian Chen asked, bowing slightly.
They had never met before, yet Ling Xue knew his daughter’s name.
Did this mean… there was hope?
Could it be that Ling Xue had secretly paid attention to his daughter before?
Ling Xue merely smiled faintly and didn’t explain.
Of course, he didn’t know her. He had simply read about her in the original records.
This young woman… or rather, her missing mother, had an extraordinary background.
She came from… an extraterrestrial demonic clan!
