Chapter Seven: The Lords Seeking to Recruit the Ancient Demon Ancestor and the Demon God Emperor

However, when Ling Yuan approached to within ten meters of Feng Xiu, he dared not take another step forward. Feng Xiu was a young man who appeared gentle, yet he exuded an aura that warned strangers to keep their distance. Even a ninth-rank cultivator like Ling Yuan was terrified and unwilling to come closer than ten meters.

In truth, in this world, aside from Bai Lingxuan and Feng Yun, no one dared to approach Feng Xiu within ten meters.

Ling Yuan cleared his throat lightly. “Brother Feng, I see you possess the Light attribute. Would you be interested in joining our Cleric Sanctuary? If you come, you will be made the Deputy Hall Master of our Cleric Sanctuary!”

Feng Xiu remained silent.

Feng Yun was also speechless.

“I have no interest in becoming a cleric,” Feng Xiu said calmly.

In front of Bai Lingxuan’s elder, Feng Xiu restrained his temper. Otherwise, the moment Ling Yuan got close, Feng Xiu would have sent him flying with a single palm.

Hearing this, Han Li, the current Grand Knight Commander of the Knight Sanctuary, thinking he had found an opportunity, immediately stepped forward. He too dared not approach within ten meters of Feng Xiu.

He quickly said, “Brother Feng, if you’re not interested in being a cleric, then come to our Knight Sanctuary.”

“Don’t listen to them. Come to our Magic Sanctuary. If you join us, you will lead the Light Elemental Magic division!” Li Yan, the Deputy Hall Master of the Magic Sanctuary, also spoke up.

Qiu Yonghao, the current Hall Master of the Warrior Sanctuary, pushed aside Li Yan. “They lack sincerity. Young man, join our Warrior Sanctuary, and the position of Deputy Hall Master will be yours!”

Upon learning of Feng Xiu’s identity, all the sanctuary masters had come, eager to recruit him. With Bai Yufan vouching for Feng Xiu’s identity, none doubted him, nor would they associate a person with Light attribute with the Demon God Emperor.

Feng Xiu was silent.

“I have my family’s secret art and will not join any sanctuary,” Feng Xiu said calmly.

The Demon God Emperor being courted by all these sanctuary masters—was this a reflection of humanity’s decay or a collapse of morality?

“Are you really not reconsidering?” Ling Yuan, the Cleric Sanctuary Hall Master, still persisted.

Finally, Feng Yun could no longer bear it and spoke up: “My brother will not join any sanctuary. There’s no need to persuade him further.”

At Feng Yun’s words, everyone turned to look at her. Ten pairs of eyes simultaneously gleamed green.

Feng Yun gave off no aura, appearing as ordinary as any other person.

But how could a ninth-rank powerhouse sister be just an ordinary person?

If they couldn’t recruit Feng Xiu, then recruiting Feng Yun would do!

Ling Yuan was the first to speak again. “Miss, I heard you are Brother Feng’s sister. Would you be interested in becoming a cleric?”

Feng Yun was speechless.

---

“No,” Feng Yun replied calmly.

“What’s the use of being a cleric? Clerics have no offensive power. Join our Knight Sanctuary!” Grand Knight Commander Han Li shoved Ling Yuan aside.

Hearing this, Ling Yuan instantly flared up and retorted, “You’re the real weakling—your whole family is! Don’t you know whose territory this is?”

“Everyone step aside! This young lady and young man should join our Warrior Sanctuary!” another voice interrupted.

The group was on the verge of arguing, and Feng Yun was growing weary. Five people chattering incessantly right beside her were enough to annoy anyone.

Feng Yun lightly furrowed her brows but said nothing, merely gazing indifferently at the tea cup in her hand.

I haven’t spoken yet—do they really think I’m easy to deal with?

Suddenly, a strange oppressive force surged into the souls of those five men.

It was a spiritual oppression!

In that instant, all five felt their hearts nearly stop, their breathing labored.

All five wanted to kneel down immediately.

Fortunately, this spiritual oppression lasted only a moment, preventing them from losing composure.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Feng Yun didn’t even glance their way, quietly sipping her tea with serene composure.

Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of those five men.

This person could suppress all five of them with a mere gesture. Her strength was unquestionably beyond the level of a ninth-rank fifth stage!

Terrifying!

The sanctuary masters immediately fell silent, exchanging glances before giving up on further questioning.

Not only the sanctuary masters felt this spiritual oppression, but Bai Yufan, Bai Lingxuan’s grandfather, did as well.

At that moment, a thought flashed through Bai Yufan’s mind.

Could the deity in his granddaughter’s husband’s family be Feng Yun???

Meanwhile, Feng Xiu fell into deep thought.

Now, he felt that even ten of himself would not defeat the ancestor!

Then, just how powerful was the ancestor?

Soon after, the wedding concluded.

Of course, for the sake of the child Bai Lingxuan was carrying, the couple did not consummate the marriage immediately after the ceremony.

The group did not linger long at Zhen Nan Pass. Before long, the three left and headed toward the Demon Clan’s capital, the heart city of the Demon Realm.

---

In the Demon Realm capital, Feng Xiu would hold an even grander wedding for his Lingxuan.

Their swift return to the capital was all for the sake of Bai Lingxuan’s unborn child.

Bai Yue was born with the Demon Clan’s magical aura, so it was imperative that Bai Yue not be born in the human city of Zhen Nan Pass, lest it be difficult to explain to Bai Yufan.

Soon, the group bid farewell to Bai Yufan and returned to the Demon Capital’s heart city, the Demon Emperor’s Palace.

Everything around the Demon Emperor’s Palace was shrouded in darkness.

The dense dark aura obscured the sky, so thick that even the sun’s light element could not penetrate these nearly tangible dark elements.

Inside the main hall of the Demon Emperor’s Palace, dozens of senior members of the Overturning Demon Dragon Clan were already waiting.

Before the three arrived, Feng Xiu had used secret methods to summon the clan’s high elders, instructing them to gather in the main hall to announce two important matters.

The Overturning Demon Dragon Clan was not large, numbering only about fifteen hundred members, with over a thousand adults.

Because the Overturning Demon Dragons were born at seventh rank and matured to eighth rank, with the exceptional rising to ninth, they were the most powerful race within the Demon Clan.

As Feng Yun, Feng Xiu, and Bai Lingxuan stepped into the hall, all the senior members knelt on one knee and saluted Feng Xiu.

“Your Majesty, we pay our respects!”

At the front stood Huang Shuo, the commander of the Demon Dragon Guard.

The moment he saw Feng Yun, Huang Shuo felt he had seen her somewhere before but no matter how hard he tried, he could not recall where.

The three slowly approached the throne.

Feng Xiu did not sit on the throne as usual but respectfully stood aside, allowing Feng Yun to take center stage.

The ancestor was here; a junior like him dared not occupy the throne.

Feng Yun’s eyes swept over the senior members of the Overturning Demon Dragon Clan with a slight nod.

Not bad. After more than six thousand years, the clan’s development was quite decent.

Below, anyone caught in Feng Yun’s sharp gaze was inwardly startled.

They could all feel the immense spiritual pressure emanating from her.

The stronger the cultivator, the more unfathomable Feng Yun’s power seemed.

Feng Xiu spoke calmly, “I have gathered you all today to announce two important matters.”
