Chapter 261: Mei Gongzi Awakens

Actually, it seemed the presence was not directed at him but at his battle with the Peacock Great Demon King. So was the Sea God’s appearance a threat or something else? Could it be a declaration that the Endless Blue Sea now had a master of its own?

The silhouette’s aura was so powerful that the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor felt a pressure superior to his own, yet that silhouette was clearly nothing more than a projection of the true body.

The Peacock Great Demon King was equally baffled, extinguishing the flames atop his Golden Crown while wondering when the sea clans had given rise to such a powerful entity.

As the city closest to the sea, Kali City had some interactions with the creatures of the Endless Blue Sea, yet to the best of his knowledge, there had never been a Sea God there. There was no such god...right?

Both mighty beings were perplexed, but the flames of their battle were gradually replaced by rational thought, especially for the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor.

He had forsaken the woman he loved most and endured countless hardships to ascend to the Demon Emperor level. If he continued to fight, to challenge the depth of the Peacock demon clan\'s heritage with his strength alone, the losses might just outweigh the gains.

Moreover, the Peacock Great Demon King\'s injuries were far more severe than his own. Even assuming he would survive this ordeal—and even that was questionable—he could forget about ever becoming a Demon Emperor.

As for himself, he had all the time in the world. Once his cultivation stabilized, he would have plenty of opportunities to settle the score.

The myriad crystal colors converged, and the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor transformed back into a human form. His face, so beautiful it was almost feminine, was icy cold, and he eyed the Peacock Great Demon King with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. "Let\'s end it here for today, but I will return. I will report your collusion with the sea clans to the Ancestral Court. You better be ready to explain."

The Peacock Great Demon King said nothing more. The silver light enveloping Kali City quickly faded, and it transformed back into a human form, vanishing amidst flashes of silver light.

"We’re leaving!" The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor commanded coldly.

From within Kali City, the Pegasus chariots soared, carrying the entire convoy high into the air. They flew far away with the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor.

"I will return!" The voice of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor echoed throughout Kali City, swirling around the milk tea shop near Kali Square.

Within Kali City, it was only now that constrained breaths could be heard. Countless beings were just coming to their senses. The feeling of a close brush with death filled every denizen with a profound dread.

Inside the city lord’s mansion, silence reigned even more profoundly at this moment.

Neither the Peacock Demon clan nor the major races of Kali City cheered. All the Peacock Demons present were pale-faced, because the Peacock Great Demon King had drawn upon the ancestral fortune of the Peacock demon clan in his battle against the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, and they were well aware that this fortune affected all of them.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor had not fled in defeat but left for understandable reasons. But whether he was scared off or unwilling to resort to mutual destruction, he would undoubtedly return, and then... who could stop him then?

With the ancestral fortune burned, no one knew how severe the Peacock Great Demon King\'s injuries were.

And what do we do when the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor comes back?

The Aetherhorn Deer Demon King took a deep breath and said, "Let today\'s events end here. We must quickly pacify the people, repair the buildings, and assess the situation within the city. The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor rashly attacked Kali City, disregarding the rules of the Ancestral Court and threatening the safety of all beings in the city. We must report this to the Ancestral Court."

The demon kings nodded in agreement, though it was easier said than done.

Despite its remoteness, Kali City was one of the main cities, continuing the demon race\'s fortune. If the main city had been breached, countless lives would have been lost, something the Ancestral Court would never allow.

However, since such a disaster had not occurred, and the perpetrator was one of the Great Demon Kings, there would be a light punishment at most.

But at the very least, actions must be taken to deter the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor from returning soon, giving Kali City a chance to breathe.

Wang Han and Wang Yu exchanged glances and left in a flash of silver light. They needed to ascertain the Peacock Great Demon King\'s condition immediately.

Though they were all Great Demon Kings, the true pillar of the clan was still him!

Kali City, Kali Square.

The Mei Gongzi Milk Tea Shop had no customers; all the shops were empty now. Obviously, the apocalyptic scene had frightened everyone; who would dare to be outside at such a time?

Su Qin stared blankly at the sky, yet the clear sky could not dispel the gloom in her heart.

He came back. He’s a Demon Emperor now. They fought against each other again, and both got injured. And when he said he’ll return again... he said it for me to hear.

At this moment, she did not know how she should feel. Perhaps, as a human, she was supposed to be happy that two major figures of the demon world were trying to kill each other. Yet, deep within her heart, the trace of excitement seemed to be there for an entirely different reason.

She couldn\'t help but recall that night, which she would never forget. He left, and it arrived.

Kali Mountains.

When Mei Gongzi woke up, she found herself lying in a hammock.

The two ends of the hammock were tied to two large trees. The hammock was made of bamboo, with thick bamboo split from one side and then divided into strips that were not completely detached, allowing it to open up from the center. Large leaves were laid on top, making it stable and comfortable and preventing ground moisture from reaching her.

A piece of clothing covered her, and the fresh air mixed with the unique moisture of the mountains lingered at her nostrils.

There was no discomfort in her body; instead, she felt more spirited and full of energy.

"You\'re awake," a familiar voice sounded.

Mei Gongzi turned over and sat up. She saw the man wearing a mask.

He had built a bonfire. It was already late at night, but the fire drove away the mosquitoes and moisture, bringing warmth.

Mei Gongzi looked around and didn\'t see anyone else. Everything seemed very normal—just a normal campfire in the woods.

"Where is the Dark Raven Demon King?" she asked.

Asura smiled and said, "He fled. After you fainted, I tried to escape with you. He pursued us relentlessly. Just when he was about to catch us, the battle over at Kali City ended."

"How are things?" Mei Gongzi asked nervously.

Asura said, "It\'s a case of mutual defeat. The Peacock Great Demon King\'s injuries are more severe, affecting his very foundation, so the prognosis is not very good. However, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor is also not lightly wounded and he probably needs a long time to recover. At least for now, Kali City is safe."

Mei Gongzi let out a sigh of relief, her beautiful eyes shimmering. She looked at Asura and said, "Thank you for saving me again."

Asura smiled faintly and said, "Just good luck."

"How come you were there to save me at the right time? How did you know the Dark Raven Demon King took me away?" Mei Gongzi suddenly asked. This question had been on her mind from the first moment.

Asura said, "You will know in the future, but I can\'t tell you now."

Mei Gongzi frowned slightly and jumped down from the hammock. "You\'re very mysterious. I don\'t like this mysterious behavior of yours."

Asura said, "This is to protect myself." And to protect you, he added to himself.

Mei Gongzi fell silent, staring blankly at the bonfire, lost in thought. After a long moment, she finally said in a deep voice, "I must return. Now that the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor has retreated, they will surely come looking for me."

"Alright, I\'ll take you there."

Asura did not insist on her staying. He casually extinguished the bonfire in front of him. He accompanied her until they were near Kali Academy, and he stopped there.

"Go ahead. The academy should be safe for you," Asura said softly.

"Mhm." Mei Gongzi glanced at him, her eyes filled with a complex expression. The next instant, her figure flickered, heading toward Kali Academy.
