Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Chapter 27
I’ll Call on You Again Next Time I Need Something

Heavenly Realm, Tiandao Palace

Ever since Ning Yechen casually destroyed half of Tiandao Palace with a single palm strike, the disciples of the palace had been busy not only gathering information across the Heavenly Realm but also rebuilding their home.

Rumors spread that the Demon Lord, Ye Mochen, would return to Tiandao Palace soon, causing widespread anxiety among its inhabitants.

Ning Yechen descended from the sky and swaggered towards the main hall of Tiandao Palace, as familiar and comfortable as if he were returning to his own home.

Having learned from their previous encounter, the Tiandao Palace disciples immediately recognized Ning Yechen. Their expressions changed drastically, and they scurried away in fear.

The guards stationed outside the main hall, seeing Ning Yechen ascending the jade steps, were so terrified that they scrambled inside, shouting:

“A-Ancestor! The Demon Lord is here again!”

“Swish, swish, swish!”

Tiandao Wentian and several elders swiftly emerged from within, standing at the entrance to greet him.

“Welcome, Demon Lord…”

“Cut the formalities. Just tell me the results,” Ning Yechen interrupted, not wanting to waste any time. He walked straight into the main hall, sat down, and casually picked up some fruits and snacks from the table beside him.

Since he had to conceal his identity from Luo Ruying, he hadn’t eaten any heavenly fruits or anything of the sort.

Taking advantage of being away from his wife in the Heavenly Realm, he had to seize this opportunity to eat more; he wouldn’t be able to do so back home…

Tiandao Wentian and the others also wanted to send this God of Slaughter away quickly. They hurriedly gathered around him and reported their findings from the past few days.

“Demon Lord, regarding the woman named Luo Ruying and the forces behind her, we, along with other powers in the Heavenly Realm, have conducted a thorough investigation.”

“That Luo Ruying is the daughter of a power called Luo Shen Palace in the Northern Ming Divine Region. However, there is no information about her in the Heavenly Realm.”

“She left Luo Shen Palace over a hundred years ago, and her whereabouts are unknown. Even within Luo Shen Palace, there is no information about her…”

After finishing his report, Tiandao Wentian carefully observed Ning Yechen’s expression, afraid that he might be dissatisfied with the results.

But they had practically searched the entire Heavenly Realm and could only find this much useful information.

Hearing this, Ning Yechen rested his chin on his hand, a contemplative look on his face. His fingers gently tapped the armrest.

He was indeed not very satisfied with the results, but he didn’t blame Tiandao Wentian and the others.

He knew they must have done their best to investigate, and if this was all the information they could find, then that was all there was.

At least he now knew the power she was associated with, which was somewhat useful information.

“Alright, thank you for your hard work.”

Ning Yechen stood up, casually sweeping all the heavenly fruits from the table into his storage pouch, and walked towards the exit. He waved goodbye to Tiandao Wentian and the others.

Seeing Ning Yechen leaving, Tiandao Wentian and the others were overjoyed that they had finally sent this God of Slaughter away. Their faces lit up with smiles.

“It was our pleasure to assist the Demon Lord.”

“Is that so?”

“How thoughtful. Then this honorable master will call on you again next time I need something.”

Ning Yechen chuckled and turned to Tiandao Wentian with a smile.

He knew that Tiandao Wentian was just trying to be polite.

The man probably wished he would never come again.

But the more he was like this, the more Ning Yechen should find opportunities to visit.

Hearing this, Tiandao Wentian’s face twitched. He felt like he had swallowed a fly, and he wanted to slap himself!

Why did he have to say that?!

Being targeted by the Demon Lord was truly a death wish!

The elders behind Tiandao Wentian also had gloomy expressions, but they couldn’t blame their ancestor.

Ancestor, why did you have to say that…

He actually took it seriously…

…

Northern Ming Heavenly Domain, Luo Shen Palace

The buildings of Luo Shen Palace were arranged in a sprawling layout, with houses and pavilions lined up in neat rows. In the center of the complex stood a towering statue of a goddess, a hundred zhang tall.

The female statue was clad in armor, holding a sword, her head held high and chest thrust forward, the sword pointing straight ahead. She exuded a heroic aura, full of valiant spirit, with the demeanor of a true heroine.

At this moment, Luo Shen Palace was filled with fear and anxiety. Everyone was in danger, and many had already fled.

This was because rumors had spread throughout the Heavenly Realm that the Demon Lord, Ye Mochen, had returned, and he was specifically looking for a woman named Luo Ruying!

And that Luo Ruying was from their Luo Shen Palace!

Everyone thought that Luo Ruying had offended the Demon Lord, and he had come to seek revenge. They were terrified and fled in all directions, unable to sleep or eat peacefully.

Little did they know that the person they feared the most had already arrived…

After leaving Tiandao Palace, Ning Yechen quickly arrived above Luo Shen Palace.

The scale of Luo Shen Palace was completely incomparable to Tiandao Palace. At best, it could only be considered a third-rate sect in the Heavenly Realm.

It was quite remarkable that such a small sect could produce a Heavenly Empress like Luo Ruying.

It was a pity they didn’t cherish her!

What to do? Should he just destroy it?

Ning Yechen looked down at Luo Shen Palace, his expression troubled.

Destroying it would be easy, just a matter of a single palm strike.

But this was his wife’s family home. If he really destroyed it, wouldn’t that be wiping out his wife’s entire clan…?

That wouldn’t be appropriate…

After much deliberation, Ning Yechen decided to probe them first before making a decision.

In an instant, he vanished from the sky.

Inside Luo Shen Palace, in a study.

A middle-aged man with a calm expression sat in the study, engrossed in a book.

Just then, as the lamplight flickered slightly, Luo Tianya’s pupils constricted, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

He sensed that someone was standing in the darkness behind him!

And he, an Immortal Venerable, hadn’t noticed their arrival at all!

If this person hadn’t deliberately revealed their presence, he wouldn’t have even known!

Reacting quickly, Luo Tianya gently closed and put down his book. Without turning around, he calmly greeted the figure:

“Honored guest, no… Demon Lord, your late-night visit is truly an honor for my Luo Shen Palace.”

Combining his assessment of Ning Yechen’s strength with the recent rumors about the Demon Lord that had been spreading like wildfire, Luo Tianya immediately guessed the visitor’s identity.

Ning Yechen no longer concealed himself. He swaggered out from behind Luo Tianya and sat down on a chair he had conjured.

Luo Tianya showed no intention of resisting, nor did he plan to call for help.

Because he knew that against the Demon Lord, the entire Luo Shen Palace wouldn’t stand a chance…

“Has the Demon Lord come to destroy my Luo Shen Palace?”

Luo Tianya asked directly, seemingly prepared for anything.

“That depends on your answers,” Ning Yechen replied calmly, crossing his legs and resting his chin on his hand, his cold eyes fixed on Luo Tianya.

These words implied that there was still a chance to turn things around. A glimmer of hope flickered in Luo Tianya’s heart, and he took the initiative to apologize:

“I wonder where my daughter has offended the Demon Lord?”

“My Luo Shen Palace is willing to do everything in its power to compensate you.”

“Hmm… She hasn’t offended me. It’s you who have offended me,” Ning Yechen said coldly, pointing at Luo Tianya.

Luo Tianya frowned, racking his brains, but he couldn’t think of how his Luo Shen Palace had offended the Demon Lord…?

They hadn’t even met before…
