For the next two days, Lanling was placed under house arrest in a courtyard of the Little Rakshasa King’s residence, unable to leave a single step.
Because, when he wanted to walk out of the courtyard gate, over a dozen experts surrounded him.
Among them, the martial arts of three powerhouses far surpassed Lanling’s, they could even suppress him with powerful energy aura.
These three people all had one characteristic, that was their bodies were empty.
They wore light floating silk black robes, but inside there was almost no body, when they raised their heads, one could only see two eyes, just like two clusters of green fire.
These were the shadow warriors beside the Little Rakshasa King.
Lanling sensed from the energy aura they released that they neither belonged to the Rakshasa Clan, nor did they belong to the human race, they were a race completely unfamiliar to Lanling.
But faintly there was also a tiny bit of familiarity.
Moreover, they never made a single sound, coming without shadow and leaving without trace.
Thus, Lanling simply stayed inside the courtyard, quietly enjoying the life of being under house arrest, and waiting for the wedding to begin.
…
“Your Highness, Lanling resurrected the Black Devil Banner Lord.” A mysterious person said.
The Little Rakshasa King’s brows furrowed.
The problem was serious, Lanling could not only summon Hell Lightning, but could also resurrect already dead people.
Perhaps, the Black Devil Banner Lord had not died, only his body was completely charred, but even this level of resurrection was a very heaven-defying bloodline.
Summoning the power of heaven and earth, resurrecting dead people, these all belonged to the Devil King’s domain.
Now, someone had intruded into this domain.
Of course, throughout these thousands of years of history, every few hundred to a thousand years, such a heaven-defying demon bloodline would appear, intruding into the domain belonging to the Devil King.
Just like the three-headed chimera beast, every few hundred years a two-headed chimera would occasionally appear, but suddenly a three-headed chimera beast appeared, directly causing the extinction of chimera beasts in a certain region.
And according to what the Little Rakshasa King knew, in the three thousand year history of the entire Southern Wilderness, there were four people who had intruded into the Devil King’s domain, possessing heaven-defying demon bloodlines.
Of these four people, three had died, only one had survived, and became the Devil King.
That was the previous generation Tiansha King, the biological father of the present Tiansha King.
His name was Iceman, this person truly rose like a comet, at the age of forty-five, he went to the Witch Kingdom to challenge the Witch Queen.
In the wilderness domain, successive generations of Witch Queens had always been considered the number one expert of the demon race.
Who won that battle, up to now no one knew.
But according to legend, after the martial contest, Iceman proposed to the Witch Queen, and was rejected.
Thus, he left the Witch Kingdom, from south to north, from east to west, truly fighting across the entire demon race domain without a single rival.
Finally, he fought his way to the Tiansha Clan.
That generation’s Tiansha King was already eighty-five years old, acclaimed as the demon race’s number two expert after the Witch Queen.
The duel between Iceman and the Tiansha King was a classic battle of the entire demon race domain over the past several hundred years, almost becoming legend, every demon race person knew it by heart.
At that time at least tens of thousands of people witnessed this martial contest.
That was a duel that would be passed down through the ages, that was a duel at the peak of martial arts, that was a duel that caused the martial arts of the demon race domain to evolve by one level.
The result… forty-nine year old Iceman won.
According to the Heavenly Demon Blood Oath established before, the defeated Tiansha King needed to marry his youngest princess to Iceman, this princess’s title was Princess Diyan, the previous Tiansha King’s most beloved little princess.
Thus, Iceman became the Tiansha King’s son-in-law.
From then on, the Tiansha Clan began its path to prosperity. As the Tiansha King’s son-in-law, Iceman with a single sword swept across the entire demon race domain, defeating every opponent he encountered, saw, or heard of. Gaining the allegiance of countless indigenous barbarian tribes, mysterious powers.
That generation’s Tiansha King lived a full one hundred and thirty years, when he died, Iceman was already ninety-four years old, his son the Tiansha Crown Prince was also forty-three years old.
The old Tiansha King directly passed the throne to his grandson, that was Iceman’s son, that was the present generation Tiansha King.
This generation’s Tiansha King was grateful to his own father, so he also enfeoffed his father Iceman as Tiansha King.
So although Iceman had never been Tiansha King for a single day, he also obtained the title of Tiansha King.
And coincidentally when the old Tiansha King died, Iceman also completely disappeared from this world. Everyone said, Iceman was grateful for the old Tiansha King’s kindness, so he guarded his spirit for life, until he himself died.
So this generation’s Tiansha King, strictly speaking, was no longer the direct descendant of the Tiansha King clan, but the old Tiansha King’s grandson.
But also because of this, the Tiansha Clan also left the rest behind, its national power far surpassing the other seven great demon races.
At this time, this generation’s Tiansha King was finally about to launch the great war to unify the demon race domain, but they had been preparing for this day for over a hundred years.
Now, another heaven-defying bloodline possessor who had intruded into the Devil King’s domain had appeared in the demon race domain, this was the fifth known heaven-defying bloodline possessor.
Coincidentally, this person Lanling was also a nameless one without father or mother.
Iceman also had no father or mother, completely did not know his own birth date, he was picked up from a glacier, so he was named Iceman.
If the Rakshasa Royal Family possessed sufficient breadth of mind, they should be inclusive of Lanling like the old Tiansha King, actively evolving their own royal clan’s bloodline, thereby making the next generation’s Rakshasa King become powerful.
But… would the Rakshasa Royal Family have such breadth of mind?
Especially since the one in charge now was the Little Rakshasa King, once they included Lanling, and let his son with Shayan inherit the throne, then the one losing the throne would be him, the Little Rakshasa King.
Moreover, how powerful was he, the Little Rakshasa King? Did his Rakshasa Royal Family need to evolve themselves?
…
“Husband, do not forget the fate of the deposed Tiansha Crown Prince back then?” Meng Tuoluo said.
Back then, the old Tiansha King should have passed the throne to his own eldest son, that was Princess Diyan’s elder brother.
But after Iceman became the old Tiansha King’s son-in-law, and his martial arts surpassed the then Tiansha Crown Prince. Thus, his crown prince position was abolished, only after Iceman and Princess Diyan’s son turned twenty-five did the Tiansha Clan have a new crown prince, that was this generation’s Tiansha King.
As for that deposed old Tiansha Crown Prince, unwilling to accept his fate, he raised an army in rebellion.
In the end, he was easily suppressed by Iceman, then the old Tiansha King personally beheaded the deposed crown prince.
If, Lanling was truly so outstanding, quickly growing in a heaven-defying manner, in the future even surpassing the Little Rakshasa King.
Then, the old Rakshasa King would very likely emulate the old Tiansha King, directly establishing Lanling and Princess Shayan’s son as crown prince.
Thus, the Little Rakshasa King would become the deposed crown prince, becoming a thorough tragedy.
“Therefore, Lanling absolutely cannot be allowed to remain.” Meng Tuoluo said. “And we must take advantage of before His Majesty the Rakshasa King returns to completely cripple him.”
“Cripple, how to cripple?” The Little Rakshasa King said. “Father has already sent word, agreeing to Lanling and Shayan’s marriage.”
“Wedding Dance Moon Sacrifice!” Meng Tuoluo said. “A royal clan wedding can conduct the Moon Sacrifice Great Hall, cripple Lanling in the blood bath of the great ceremony, turn him alive into a waste.”
The Little Rakshasa King’s gaze contracted.
Meng Tuoluo said, “Husband, you must not underestimate Lanling, he is truly an apex genius, if you let him really marry Shayan, it is a huge threat to you. The demon race domain respects the strong, once he is stronger than you, then you will face a huge crisis.”
The Little Rakshasa King’s incomparably handsome face was like an ancient well without waves.
Meng Tuoluo said, “Husband, do not hesitate anymore, Lanling must be eliminated. Man has no intention to harm the tiger, but the tiger has the heart to harm man. The Rakshasa Clan is yours, and even… the entire demon race domain in the future is yours, you absolutely cannot be soft-hearted.”
“Husband, Lanling must be crippled, otherwise one day, he will certainly harm you.”
“I know what you are thinking, you are thinking about his heaven-defying demon bloodline. But I only want to ask you one thing, even if His Majesty the Ancient Demon Emperor arrived, who among the Eight Great Demon Races would still pledge allegiance to him, who would willingly hand over the power in their hands?” Meng Tuoluo spoke words that struck at the heart, and said slowly, “The Eight Great Devil Kings have been kings and hegemons for thousands of years, already no one can stand above their heads. Just like the Dragon Holy Temple constantly professing faith in the Divine Dragon, viewing the Divine Dragon as the creator, as the ultimate deity. But do you know, a person carrying Divine Dragon energy came to this world, creating the brilliant human civilisation. How did the Dragon Holy Temple deal with him? Cruelly killed him, then cut his corpse into pieces, suppressing his soul and body in the most terrifying place in this world. Whoever tries to seize their power must die, even if that person is the Dragon Emperor, the Divine Dragon’s emissary.”
“Husband, whoever infringes upon your power, must die. Even if the Demon Emperor arrives he must die, much less a mere Lanling.” Meng Tuoluo said coldly. “His wedding with Shayan is our best opportunity, cripple him at the Wedding Dance Moon Sacrifice.”
Her incomparably beautiful face became extremely cold.
The Little Rakshasa King looked at Meng Tuoluo for a good while, then shook his head and said, “No, cannot!”
Meng Tuoluo could hardly believe her ears, she looked at the Little Rakshasa King in shock and said, “Husband? Why? Why?”
The Little Rakshasa King said, “You do not understand, but, it simply cannot be done!”
Having spoken, the Little Rakshasa King closed his eyes, indicating no further communication.
Meng Tuoluo’s entire body was icy cold, staring at her husband motionless, as if she had never known him. Of course, perhaps she had never understood this husband of hers.
His gaze was like the stars of the heavens, although incomparably brilliant, yet no one could understand any meaning behind the gaze.
Meng Tuoluo withdrew.
…
The secret room of Princess Shayan’s residence.
Princess Shayan saw the woman she hated most, Meng Tuoluo.
“Shayan, do you want to marry Lanling?” Meng Tuoluo said.
“No!” Princess Shayan said. “I want him to die, I want to use all means to torture him, but that crown prince brother of mine protects him too well, no one is allowed to see him.”
Meng Tuoluo said, “Then do you want to cripple him?”
“Yes!” Princess Shayan said. “I dream of it!”
Meng Tuoluo took out a crystal box and said, “Inside this box is a starry sky magic power meteorite…”
Once these words came out, Princess Shayan’s face turned deathly pale.
Starry sky magic power meteorite, devours all vitality, even Devil King level bloodlines.
This was the most terrifying energy in this world, nightmare level energy, black hole level energy.
“This starry sky magic power meteorite is sufficient to completely destroy all of Lanling’s demon bloodlines, devour all his energy, turn him alive into a waste.” Meng Tuoluo said. “Your wedding will have a Wedding Dance Moon Sacrifice, Lanling will undergo a blood bath, this is the gift the Rakshasa Royal Family gives him, you only need to bury this crystal box beneath the blood pool. After the blood bath begins, soaked by boiling hot blood this crystal box will expand and open a crack, then it will no longer be able to shield this terrifying starry sky magic power meteorite, this terrifying black hole energy will permeate into the depths of Lanling’s demon bloodline, just a little bit is enough to make him into a waste.”
Princess Shayan’s beautiful eyes were icy cold, she said through gritted teeth, “Fine, I will do it.”
Then, she received the crystal box, inside was the most terrifying thing in this world, the starry sky magic power meteorite that devoured everything.
And the energy level of this starry sky magic power meteorite was several dozen times greater than the one Lanling used to shoot the three-headed chimera beast.
…
Time flew, very soon three days passed.
On this evening, Lanling and Princess Shayan’s wedding officially began.
