Chapter 1636: Chapter 1636
Demon Emperor didn’t even realize how close he had come to death. In extreme pain, he clenched his fists on the chair and roared, "Is there no loyal and brave minister who can stop that little bitch?"
"She’s heading straight to the Imperial Secret Treasury. Those are all my treasures!"
However, when his gaze swept over the Tire-7 Demon Saints beside him, they all lowered their heads, avoiding His Majesty’s gaze. Who would want to court death? That ancient sword was not to be trifled with! Even the guardian demon spirits on the palace’s main gate had been destroyed by it. Everyone knew in their hearts that their fighting techniques wouldn’t be any stronger than those demon spirits.
But a sycophantic minister stepped forward, saying, "Your Majesty, don’t worry. The Corpse Dragon within the Secret Treasury is as powerful as Tire-8 when it’s in there. It will surely not let that little bitch succeed!"
The Emperor finally calmed down a bit, and then stomped his foot in anger, "What about those Tire-8 arrays that our clan has? Use them all. I want that little bitch dead!"
Apart from the Corpse Dragon, there were several other arrays inside and outside the Myriad Demon Domain that were as powerful as Tire-8. Most of them were inherited from the Ancestral Patriarch, with only a few being new setups.
The ones left by the Ancestral Patriarch were originally abandoned, but they could be used again with the arrival of the Origin Resurgence. General Hugo had even submitted a request to the Emperor, asking for funds to repair and maintain these ancient arrays.
General Hugo was truly devoted to his duties, always considering the Demon Court in everything he did. But after the Demon Emperor approved this proposal, the clans began to compete for the "supervisor" role, ultimately sidelining General Hugo who didn’t even get a single supervisor position!
Those ancient Golden Blood and Purple Blood families, after becoming supervisors, of course, took advantage of their power and made money through corrupt means, always scheming on how to take advantage of the project... Now, after several months, not a single one of these arrays had been properly restored and reactivated!
In this respect, the Great Wu and the Nine Witch Demon Court were no different: ancient dynasties were bound to decay, and large families would become parasites. The difference was that the Great Wu had Adonis Dunn and Abner Lane, and most importantly, Owen Bertram, while the Nine Witch Demon Court only had Hugo.
After the Emperor’s order was given, the supervisors immediately set out to carry it out, vowing passionately that they would definitely make sure the little bitch would be smashed into pieces! However, as they turned away after saying farewell to the Emperor, a clear look of realization crossed their faces. General Hugo sighed deeply in his heart: It’s a disgrace to our mighty Demon Court that a little girl managed to break into the Imperial Palace as if it was unguarded!
General Hugo didn’t expect anything from these scoundrels. He quietly moved closer to the Emperor, determined to protect the Emperor at all costs. The ancient sword with that little girl could unleash the power of Tire-8. What if, after stealing the treasure, she suddenly wanted to stab His Majesty?
However, General Hugo was relieved to see that the Demon Emperor’s Brocade Pouch contained the Demon Court Jade Seal and that the personal guard behind him held an ancient Battle Hammer. They could counter that ancient sword, but the Demon Emperor was too greedy and loved his life too much to use these life-saving treasures.
The third barrier appeared in front of the Mesmerizing Demon as the demon light wavered, displaying a huge, sixteen-layer Demon Array, locking the entire void.
If Owen Bertram were to take action personally, he could break through the barrier. However, it was impossible to transfer his Array knowledge to Mesmerizing Demon in a short time. So, the All-Encompassing Small World opened up, making it impossible for outsiders to see what was happening. Mesmerizing Demon, guided by Azure Dragon, began to break through the barriers.
The Azure Dragon was very rebellious, which was how she saw herself. However, "Old Bureaucrat" Owen Bertram was a master at using "carrot and stick." Firstly, he would use the Dragon-Slaying Divine Short Sword to poke Azure Dragon when she least expected it.
Although this artifact caused only minor injuries to the Azure Dragon, it still felt like... getting shocked by an electric rod while sound asleep! After a few of these shocks, the Azure Dragon couldn’t take it anymore.
Moreover, Owen Bertram explicitly said: Helping out would grant you a chance to interact directly with Little Loach.
Ever since being caught by Brother, Azure Dragon had been shouting and making noise in the All-Encompassing Small World, both out of defiance and because she wanted to see Little Loach.
But my Brother called the shots, you couldn’t just see her whenever you wanted! Owen Bertram left her alone.
Finally, Azure Dragon reluctantly agreed to help, saying, "I’m not submitting to your wicked power, but rather, seeking to meet that one person to discuss the future of the Divine Beast Clan for the greater good!"
Azure Dragon’s expertise in arrays far exceeded Owen Bertram’s. Under her guidance, Mesmerizing Demon easily broke through the barrier. In the eyes of Azure Dragon, the shallow demon arrays below were of little difficulty.
On the side of Demon Emperor, several Demon Saints were shocked, their eyes wide: The number one Demon Array of the "latter generation" was broken in less than the time it took for an incense stick to burn?
The so-called "number one Demon Array of the latter generation" referred to the most powerful Demon Array that the Demon Clan could create after the Heavenly Track Reversal! Anything more powerful could only be found in the ancient ruins before the Heavenly Track Reversal. Among the Demon Saints, some were experts in array techniques and even they would take at least five years to break through this Demon Array!
The Demon Saints couldn’t help but retreat a few steps, their minds in turmoil. Initially, they had been protecting the Emperor’s throne, but now, the Emperor’s throne was subtly positioned in front of them!
