Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

 Chapter 6
How is He Back Again?!

A middle-aged man, clad in a golden heavenly robe and with an air of noble bearing, let out a furious roar. He flew out from the main hall of the Tiandao Palace and landed in front of Ning Yechen, hovering in mid-air.

Upon seeing Ning Yechen, Tiandao Changrong furrowed his brows slightly.

The man before him looked extremely familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn’t recall who it was for the moment…

“Hmm? Who are you?”

“Where is that old man, Tiandao Wentian?”

Ning Yechen asked with his hands clasped behind his back, looking at Tiandao Changrong with a puzzled expression.

Had he been away from the Heavenly Realm for so long that the Tiandao Palace had changed leadership?

Ning Yechen’s arrogant and condescending demeanor was such that even in the entire Heavenly Realm, few dared to speak to the people of the Tiandao Palace in such a manner!

The more Tiandao Changrong looked, the more familiar he felt. Gradually, he remembered Ning Yechen’s identity, and his expression suddenly changed.

“It’s you…?!”

“The Demon Lord, Ye Mochen!!!”

Tiandao Changrong’s face was filled with shock and terror. The fear that had been hidden deep within his heart for over a hundred years was reawakened at this moment!

He had secretly witnessed him once, over a hundred years ago!

Compared to the Demon Lord’s demeanor back then, Ning Yechen now appeared gentle and harmless, like an ordinary mortal with no cultivation. That was why he hadn’t recognized him immediately.

“Indeed. Someone in the Tiandao Palace still remembers me.”

“However, you got one thing wrong. I am the *former* Demon Lord. I’ve already retired.”

Ning Yechen wagged his finger in correction.

“Ye Mochen! You dare trespass into the Heavenly Realm again, disturbing our peace and harming my Tiandao Palace! Do you really think my Tiandao Palace is easy to bully!”

Although fear gripped Tiandao Changrong’s heart, as the current Palace Master of the Tiandao Palace, he managed to compose himself and sternly rebuked Ning Yechen.

Ning Yechen frowned slightly, displeasure evident on his face.

“The sky has cleared, the rain has stopped. Does your Tiandao Palace think it’s powerful again?”

“It seems I didn’t demolish it thoroughly enough last time…”

“Hmph!”

“Ye Mochen! Do you truly believe that our Heavenly Realm hasn’t changed at all in these past hundred years!”

“I have now stepped into the ranks of Heavenly Emperors, all for the sake of avenging the humiliation you inflicted on my Tiandao Palace a hundred years ago!”

“Raaaaaargh!!!”

Tiandao Changrong’s expression turned fierce. With an angry roar, a terrifying Heavenly Emperor aura erupted from him, soaring into the clouds!

The immense and terrifying pressure shattered the surrounding palaces within a hundred li radius, countless people crushed to the ground, unable to breathe.

Those with slightly more power could only barely raise their heads, cheering for their Palace Master’s imposing aura:

“As expected of our Tiandao Palace’s Palace Master!”

“A prodigy among the younger generation!”

“In just over a hundred years, he has already ascended from Immortal Venerable to the ranks of Immortal Emperor!”

“This is the first time I’ve witnessed the Palace Master’s full power. How mighty and domineering!”

“Within the Heavenly Realm, the Palace Master’s strength is among the very best!”

“Hmph! The Palace Master is enraged. Now, that ignorant brat will be taught a lesson!”

Ning Yechen sighed softly in exasperation and raised his dark, profound eyes to glance at Tiandao Changrong.

He lightly clapped his hand in the air, and a gigantic black demonic palm, a hundred zhang in size, tore through the void, appearing out of thin air above Tiandao Changrong’s head and pressing down!

The black demonic palm covered nearly half of Tiandao Palace!

Including Tiandao Changrong, all the people within Tiandao Palace trembled, unable to move an inch!

“Boom!”

A deafening explosion shook the entire Heavenly Realm, and half of Tiandao Palace was crushed into dust!

Tiandao Changrong, pinned beneath the demonic palm, coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body embedded in the ground. He felt as if all the bones in his body were broken, his face filled with shock and fear.

How was this possible…!

He had already stepped into the Immortal Emperor Realm!

Why was he like a helpless chick in the Demon Lord’s hands, unable to fight back…!

With a single move, he was nearly killed…!

“Once bitten, twice shy.”

“It seems this Tiandao Palace has no need to exist anymore.”

Ning Yechen stood with his hands clasped behind his back, strolling through the air towards the depths of Tiandao Palace. He called out indifferently:

“Old man, I know you’re not dead. If you don’t come out, I’ll flatten your Tiandao Palace.”

“Not a single one will be spared!”

“I’ll count to three. One…”

As soon as his voice fell, a cyan rainbow shot out from the depths of Tiandao Palace, followed closely by several other rainbows of different colors.

An elderly man with a heavenly air, sporting a three-foot-long white beard, hurriedly arrived before Ning Yechen.

Accompanying him were several elders of Tiandao Palace, all at the Immortal Emperor level!

“Excellent!”

“Ancestor Tiandao has emerged from seclusion!”

“And several elders have also finished their closed-door cultivation!”

“We’re safe now! We don’t have to fear that guy anymore!”

“Surely he can’t fight against the entire Tiandao Palace alone!”

Below, countless Tiandao Palace disciples looked up expectantly at Ancestor Tiandao and the several elders in the sky.

They represented not only the true strength of Tiandao Palace but also one of the peak powers of the Heavenly Realm!

“Old man, you finally decided to show yourself.”

Ning Yechen said with a faint smile, looking at Tiandao Wentian, the Ancestor of Tiandao.

Tiandao Wentian looked at Ning Yechen, his pale eyes trembling, his face even whiter than Tiandao Changrong’s!

This God of Slaughter was actually not dead…!

And why had he returned?!

Which damned soul had brought him back?!

Recalling the Heavenly-Demon War over a hundred years ago, Tiandao Wentian shuddered.

If he had a choice, he would rather mobilize the entire strength of Tiandao Palace to fight against the other eight peak powers of the Heavenly Realm than encounter this Demon Lord again…!

When he first heard the commotion in Tiandao Palace and Ning Yechen’s voice, he had a vague suspicion that it was him…

He initially wanted to hide and wait it out, but if he didn’t show up, he feared the entire Tiandao Palace would be gone…

“Why, old man? Bringing so many people, are you planning to spar with me?”

“It just so happens that after over a hundred years, I haven’t used my hands in a while. This could be a good warm-up~”

Ning Yechen said with a bright smile.

Their conversation seemed like that of close friends, but every word sent chills down Tiandao Wentian’s spine.

Almost without hesitation, Tiandao Wentian quickly shook his head and forced a flattering smile:

“Tiandao Wentian greets the Demon Lord…”

“The Demon Lord must be joking. How would my Tiandao Palace dare to be enemies with the Demon Lord…”

Ah…(⊙_⊙)?

The disciples below stared at Tiandao Wentian in astonishment, their faith crumbling in an instant.

Was this the same majestic and decisive Ancestor Tiandao they knew…?

He was actually trying to please him with a flattering smile…!

“I wonder if the Demon Lord could kindly release my great-grandson…?”

Tiandao Wentian glanced at Tiandao Changrong under the demonic palm. Seeing that he was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief, his attitude extremely courteous and polite.

Even dozens of Heavenly Emperors joining forces couldn’t defeat this Demon Lord, so there was no need for Tiandao Palace alone to antagonize him…

If Tiandao Palace was destroyed, it was destroyed. They could just rebuild it. As long as their foundation and heritage remained, it was fine.

Ning Yechen glanced at Tiandao Changrong, and with a wave of his arm, the hundred-zhang tall demonic palm instantly vanished into thin air.

“Ancestor!”

“You must seek justice for our Tiandao Palace!”

Having narrowly escaped death, Tiandao Changrong immediately ran to Tiandao Wentian’s side and pointed at Ning Yechen, recounting his grievances.

He was met with a crisp and resounding slap!

“Slap!”

“You ignorant fool!”

“For the crime of offending the Demon Lord, you are sentenced to a hundred years of confinement in the forbidden grounds!”

Tiandao Wentian was furious.

Tiandao Changrong still dared to think about attacking the Demon Lord. He truly wasn’t content until Tiandao Palace was completely destroyed!

He had no self-awareness at all!

If they could fight back, would he need to be here with a flattering smile?!

Tiandao Changrong was sent flying a hundred meters by the slap, his face dazed and bloodied.

He couldn’t believe that his usually doting ancestor would slap him so angrily…

A hundred years ago, Tiandao Changrong had been protected and hadn’t personally fought against the Demon Lord. He simply didn’t know his true strength!

But Tiandao Wentian had experienced it firsthand and knew very well that the entire Tiandao Palace was no match for him!

This slap and punishment were meant to save him!

“I hereby announce the removal of Tiandao Changrong from the position of Tiandao Palace Master!”

“He shall be confined to the forbidden grounds for a hundred years!”

“Someone! Take him away!”
