SWNOVELXO Chapter 651: Intentional
Inside the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons.
Everything remained as usual.
Chu Yuan continued fiddling with his own affairs within a side hall.
Ji Meng was also in another side hall, cultivating in seclusion while handling continental matters.
The two of them did not interfere with each other, each dealing with their own affairs.
On this day.
Chu Yuan was in the side hall, feeding Taotie as part of his daily routine.
Taotie obediently accepted Chu Yuan's feeding.
Both sides were very harmonious.
But at that moment.
Suddenly, a series of loud noises came from outside.
Chu Yuan immediately frowned, told Taotie to eat by itself, and summoned a Demon General.
"What's happening outside? Why is it so noisy?"
Chu Yuan couldn't help but ask aloud.
"Reporting to the Demon Saint, the Demon Emperor and Demon Sovereign have returned. The Demon Emperor seems to have sustained severe injuries. Right now, various departments of the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons are heading to the main hall to pay a visit. Demon Saint, would you like to go as well?"
The Demon General reported in quick succession.
"The Demon Emperor and Demon Sovereign?"
Chu Yuan was momentarily stunned.
Then he became indifferent again.
He did not know them.
Why should he go?
Chu Yuan was about to decline.
But then he thought, this Demon Emperor and Demon Sovereign seemed to be his immediate superiors, right?
If he ignored the situation, it wouldn't be too appropriate, would it?
Perhaps he should send something over as a gesture of concern?
What should he send?
After pondering for a moment, Chu Yuan slowly spoke.
"I won't go over there, you can go. Also, send something to the Demon Emperor as a token of my concern," he said.
"As for what to send… just pick whatever is the best item we have here and send that over," he added.
Chu Yuan waved his hand lightly, speaking casually.
"Ah? Demon Saint, are you… are you sure you want to send the best item?"
The Demon General hesitated before asking.
"Why not?"
Chu Yuan glared at the Demon General and said.
"But… but the best item is a coffin treasure…"
The Demon General spoke timidly.
Send a coffin to the severely injured Demon Emperor?
Chu Yuan: "..."
Can't you exercise some discretion?
Sending a coffin, isn't that just asking for enmity?
Chu Yuan gazed intently at the Demon General.
The Demon General felt so tense that he knelt on the ground, shivering.
"Demon Saint, what's wrong…"
The Demon General spoke with trepidation.
"It's nothing, don't send a coffin. Send some nourishing items for recuperation instead," Chu Yuan said, massaging his forehead and waving his hand.
"Yes, Demon Saint."
The voice of the Demon General trembled.
After receiving Chu Yuan's permission, the Demon General shakily left the side hall.
Chu Yuan watched the Demon General leave, shook his head, continued feeding Taotie, and was too lazy to bother with too much.
What Demon Emperor? He didn't know him.
Why bother with so much? Taking good care of his own affairs was the true path to success.
...
Meanwhile.
In the main hall.
Demon Sovereign Donghuang Taiyi arrived here with Demon Emperor Di Jun.
At this moment, the Demon Emperor's breath was very weak, his body drenched in golden blood, gasping for air, his face as pale as golden paper.
His life force was even more erratic, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, making it appear very unstable.
"Brother!"
Demon Sovereign Donghuang Taiyi was deeply worried.
He was truly afraid that something would happen to Demon Emperor Di Jun, and if that came to pass, their old era would indeed suffer a severe blow.
"I... I'm fine, although this injury is enough to be fatal, it is still not sufficient to end the life of me, Di Jun. It's just that..."
"It's just that I never expected this strike to be so terrifying, heavily damaging my body, and nearly annihilating my soul..."
Fear filled the eyes of Di Jun.
Even some words he did not say.
In fact, under that strike, he would have certainly perished.
Even if his body had not been blasted apart, his soul would have been destroyed.
It was a treasure that saved him in the nick of time.
"Elder brother, how... how are you now..."
Donghuang Taiyi took a deep breath and said.
"No harm, just send some heavenly and earthly treasures over to me," replied Di Jun, shaking his head.
Hearing this.
Donghuang Taiyi turned around, intending immediately to command people to find heavenly and earthly treasures.
Before he could give the order.
A Demon General suddenly ran over.
"Demon Emperor, the various departments of the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons have come to visit you personally, what do you think..."
The Demon General hesitantly began to speak.
"A visit? With the Demon Emperor injured, instead of properly stabilizing their respective factions of the Demon Race, they think of visiting? Tell them all to roll back!"
Donghuang Taiyi said, slightly angry.
His body surged with powerful auras, as if he could hardly wait to personally take action and send all those so-called visitors from the Demon Race flying back.
The Demon General, upon hearing this, quickly bowed and retreated to convey Donghuang Taiyi's message.
Seeing this scene.
Donghuang Taiyi had intended to personally seek the heavenly and earthly treasures.
But before he could leave, he was stopped by another Demon General.
"What now?"
Donghuang Taiyi asked, somewhat annoyed.
"Demon Sovereign, the Newly Advanced Demon Saint Yuan Chu has sent several nourishing heavenly and earthly treasures. They are now outside the main hall. Since they are sent by the Demon Saint, your subordinate does not know how to handle them. What do you think?"
The Demon General asked cautiously.
"Yuanchu Yaosheng sent heavenly and earthly treasures? He didn't come himself?"
Donghuang Taiyi raised his eyebrows slightly, managing to contain his emotions.
"No, Yuan Chu only sent someone to deliver the items. He did not come himself," the Demon General answered earnestly.
"This Yuan Chu does have a heart."
Donghuang Taiyi nodded slightly, then instructed the Demon General to bring in the heavenly and earthly treasures.
He felt somewhat touched that Yuan Chu knew how to act.
Knowing the current situation, it was not suitable for him to come, so he only sent someone with the heavenly and earthly treasures.
Soon, two Demon Generals walked over again.
One of them held a storage bag in his hand, which contained the heavenly and earthly treasures.
Donghuang Taiyi took the storage bag, opened it up, and started to inspect the contents.
Inside the storage bag, naturally, were all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures.
Moreover, most of these treasures were beneficial for nourishing the soul.
"This Yuan Chu..."
Donghuang Taiyi nodded to himself, his impression of Chu Yuan improving significantly.
Donghuang Taiyi held the heavenly and earthly treasures and walked over to Di Jun, helping him consume them.
Upon receiving the heavenly and earthly treasures, Di Jun immediately began to refine them.
Clearly, Di Jun's aura stabilized after receiving these treasures.
After a moment.
Di Jun reopened his eyes.
"Taiyi."
Di Jun looked at Donghuang Taiyi and softly spoke.
"Elder brother, how are you feeling now?" Donghuang Taiyi asked anxiously.
"The injury has stabilized. Taiyi, these heavenly and earthly treasures you've brought are timely. I owe you my thanks," Di Jun said, breathing a sigh of relief.
"These weren't brought by me but by a Newly Advanced Demon Saint from our Demon Race. This Demon Saint is clever, knowing that elder brother, you were injured, so he sent these items…"
Donghuang Taiyi recounted the matter of 'Yuanchu Yaosheng' to Di Jun.
In Donghuang Taiyi's view, Yuanchu Yaosheng was someone he had promoted. Technically, he was part of his faction, so mentioning this in front of the Demon Emperor might help Yuan Chu's future advancement within the Demon Race...
