Chapter 567: 593 Chapter Demon Master's Little Scheme
Outside the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons.
Powerful presences, one after another, flew from the distant clouds and landed in front of the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons.
Each of these mighty auras belonged to the Old Ancestors of their respective tribes.
At this moment, these Patriarchs were gathered before the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons.
The gates of the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons were tightly shut, they dared not disturb, only silently waiting for the gates to open.
How could they have the audacity to knock on the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons' gates?
Within the Tianjian Continent,
The first tier of strength belonged to the likes of Ji Meng and Demon Masters.
The various Clan Patriarchs could only be considered the second tier.
Under these circumstances, how would the Clan Patriarchs dare to offend Ji Meng and the Demon Masters by knocking on the doors of the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons?
The Clan Patriarchs could only stand obediently outside the gate, engaging in polite conversation with one another.
Suddenly...
At that moment,
Several dragon shadows flew by in the distance.
Thirteen Ancestors of the Dragon Clan arrived.
Naturally, Chu Yuan was among them, the thirteenth Ancestor.
Upon the Great Ancestor of the Dragon Clan's arrival, many Old Ancestors from other races came over to greet him.
Seeing this scene,
The Great Ancestor of the Dragon Clan and the other Old Ancestors waved their hands.
They indicated that the other Old Ancestors should first go and seek out the Jinwu Clan.
Before this, the Dragon Clan had already pledged allegiance to the Three-legged Golden Crow Clan.
Since they were here, they would naturally prioritize the Three-legged Golden Crow Clan.
The other Old Ancestors understood the Great Ancestor's intentions, nodded to each other, and rose to make their way toward the Jinwu Clan.
But Chu Yuan was completely unaware of the intent behind the Great Ancestor of the Dragon Clan's gesture; he thought the Great Ancestor was beckoning them to go to the palace in front.
Thus, he took a step forward towards the entrance.
The Old Ancestors of various races watched Chu Yuan approach the gates of the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Which clan's Ancestor was this, and what were they planning to do at the palace doors?
Under their bewildered gaze,
Chu Yuan stretched out his hand and pushed open the palace doors.
To his surprise, the massive doors of the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons swung open effortlessly at Chu Yuan's push.
Chu Yuan wanted to comment on how unexpectedly light the doors were, but he kept his thoughts to himself.
Externally, he didn't do anything, and just stepped into the great hall.
After taking just one step, he felt an eerie silence around him and couldn't help but turn his head to look back.
"Hm? Why aren't you all coming in? What are you doing standing outside?"
Chu Yuan turned around and, seeing that all the Old Ancestors were still outside the hall, blurted out in confusion.
"This..."
The Old Ancestors from all the races were dumbfounded.
They truly hadn't imagined that an Old Ancestor would just come up and push the door open.
Were they not afraid of offending the Demon Master and Ji Meng?
The Clan Patriarchs were in shock.
Moments later, they all turned their gazes towards the Great Ancestor of the Dragon Clan.
They were close to praising the might of the Dragon Clan.
They had never thought that the Dragon Clan could be so bold.
Except for that special era in the past, the Dragon Clan had always been in decline.
And now, they had even become a vassal to the Three-legged Golden Crow Clan.
Most of them had the same impression of the Dragon Clan: despite having a solid foundation to fight from, they lacked the courage to do so and could only acquiesce in submission.
Unexpectedly, a fierce character had emerged from the Dragon Clan, who had directly pushed open the gates of the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons.
Compared to the astonishment of the other Clan Patriarchs,
The twelve Ancestors of the Dragon Clan were flabbergasted.
They had never even considered the possibility that Chu Yuan would just push the doors open.
Wasn't this a suicidal act?
Just as the twelve Ancestors of the Dragon Clan were about to pull Chu Yuan back,
They hadn't yet moved when a disturbance came from the front.
A figure emerged from within the hall.
This appearance grabbed everyone's attention.
Holding a Trident, with a cold expression, if not Ji Meng, then who could it be?
"Since you've come, why keep standing outside? Afraid to push the door? Come in already."
Ji Meng uttered these cold words.
Without so much as glancing at Chu Yuan, nor blaming him.
Having said that,
he turned and walked deeper into the hall.
The elders of all races were momentarily stunned.
Their gazes fell upon Chu Yuan, who stood by the door.
Some were puzzled, others astonished.
So it turned out that Ji Meng wouldn't blame them?
They had never dared to push the door open themselves, only waiting for the Demon Master to open it before they dared to enter.
But now, this member of the Dragon Clan showed them something new.
It turned out none of this was needed.
Just push the door and enter.
The elders shook their heads, unsure what to say; in the end, they could only sigh and one by one, entered the hall.
The Twelve Ancestors of the Dragon Clan also came to Chu Yuan's side, encircling him in the middle, each of them exhaling a sigh of relief.
They didn't blame Chu Yuan. Instead, they began to explain things to him.
In their eyes, Chu Yuan was ignorant of the rules, which caused these confusions.
They felt the need to explain these conventions to Chu Yuan.
The Twelve Ancestors of the Dragon Clan started to narrate.
Chu Yuan listened in a daze, nodding continuously. They were giving too much information; he had no objections to whatever they said.
Finally, after a round of chatter,
The Twelve Ancestors stopped speaking and led Chu Yuan into the hall.
...
After entering the hall,
what met their eyes were numerous straw mats, arranged in several rows.
At the very forefront, there were two differently colored mats.
Sitting on those two mats were none other than the Demon Master and Ji Meng.
As Chu Yuan walked alongside the members of the Dragon Clan, his gaze was locked on the Demon Master.
He was curious about this ruler of the Tianjian Continent.
He wanted to see what set this ruler apart from others.
However, no matter how much Chu Yuan looked, he couldn't discern anything.
He just felt this person seemed more sinister than the rest, but that was about it.
After watching for a while, Chu Yuan shifted his gaze.
Following the Dragon Clan members, he took a seat on one of the straw mats.
Chu Yuan sat down cross-legged, waiting quietly.
...
At the same time,
the Demon Master at the top slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Chu Yuan, his eyebrows furrowing slightly.
With his power, he of course felt Chu Yuan sneaking glances at him.
But he was somewhat puzzled.
He couldn't see through Chu Yuan.
At a glance, all was a blur, his true features obscured.
Who was this person?
A member of the Dragon Clan?
But how could he not see through a member of the Dragon Clan?
How very strange.
Could it be that a stronger entity within the Dragon Clan had awakened?
And this resurrected being had regained his cultivation levels faster than him, making him indiscernible?
The Dragon Clan...
Perhaps it was worth the effort to foster an alliance.
A gleam of light flashed in the Demon Master's eyes.
He already had a plan in mind.
Within the Demon Race, the mighty ruled supreme. Although he was held in highest regard on the Tianjian Continent now, if 'Your Majesty' were to awaken, it might not remain the case.
If he could bring the Dragon Clan under his control, making them his blade to defeat the Demon Race and then subjugate the major races of the clan; by that time, even if 'Your Majesty' were to awaken, he might have nothing to fear...
