Chapter 736: Meeting Demon Queen

In the Xia calendar year 6266, Cloud Mountain

Lin Jiang walked into Yunshan Villa and saw Stone King reading a book. Stone King really loves reading, and he is willing to read any kind of book. But his favorite is philosophy books because he thinks they make him smarter.

Stone King told Lin Jiang that he plans to spend a hundred years reading all the books of the human race. Not just scanning through them quickly, but reading each one carefully.

Lin Jiang was happy to fulfill his request. After reading for decades now, Lin Jiang thinks Stone King has only read one percent of all human books because the total number of books keeps increasing. Stone King reads much slower than new books come out, so he will never finish reading them all.

After greeting Stone King, Lin Jiang met Lin Ying, who had returned to heal her injuries. She got hurt in a big battle and the wounds were serious.

"Lin Ying, are you okay?"

"I have already recovered."

Lin Ying said she was back to normal. Being who she is, she had the best healing medicine and had already healed.

"That’s good. Don’t rush into things in the future. Focus on your training."

"Since I’ve seen you, I have to ask why."

Lin Ying said she also wanted to know why Lin Jiang ordered the troops to withdraw. Wasn’t this the best opportunity to wipe out the demon clan?

"The demon clan’s power is weak now. We already surpassed them completely. It doesn’t matter when we attack, the result is the same."

"Are you taking me for a fool, bro? I just want to know one reason. It’s okay for our people to die in battle, but they shouldn’t die in vain. Three hundred members of the Lin family died in this battle."

"Ah, Cao Ying, you have to trust me. I didn’t want you to know the truth because I didn’t want you to take risks."

"That means you don’t consider me one of your own."

"That’s a serious thing to say."

"If that’s the case, then give me an answer."

"Go find Cao Ying. She will tell you. I need to meet with Big Shadiao."

Lin Jiang said Lin Ying’s words were too intense for him to bear. Since she was not a stranger, he decided to tell her.

Lin Jiang quickly saw Big Shadiao and Small Shadiao. Big Shadiao now looked like a strict father, pushing Small Shadiao to practice every day. Small Shadiao was feeling very miserable and almost couldn’t bear it anymore.

Besides, Small Shadiao didn’t know about Lin Wanli’s fall. Lin Jiang kept this information from him as Small Shadiao was stuck at Cloud Mountain and relied on the internet for news. So, Lin Jiang had artificial intelligence send a lot of information to Small Shadiao while filtering out some related data.

When Small Shadiao saw Lin Jiang, he got all stirred up again, wanting to leave. He was tired of being there, even the female students at Cloud Mountain didn’t want to hang out with him anymore. He couldn’t focus on his practice.

Lin Jiang didn’t let him go easily, and after a few words, he sent him off and gave a letter to Big Shadiao, asking him to go to Fangzhang Continent to meet the Demon Queen at a designated location.

Big Shadiao didn’t refuse. This errand had a deeper meaning. Ordinary cultivators couldn’t see the Demon Queen. To go deep into the demon territory, it was better to be a demon beast. Small Shadiao was the best candidate, but Lin Jiang didn’t want to trouble him. Big Shadiao, not knowing this deeper meaning, was just happy to go out and play.

········

In Fangzhang Continent, the Demon Queen had just restored her damaged body after a fierce battle. She was severely injured, and without Feng Jiu’s help, she would have surely died.

The damage to the demon clan was heartbreaking to her. Many high-ranking demons perished, and this loss couldn’t be easily recovered.

The consequences of defeat were severe. Losing territory, shrinking living spaces, and facing dissatisfaction from the sea demons and the demons from The Land of Extreme South. A ruler who couldn’t lead the demon tribe to victory didn’t deserve to be a ruler.

"Demon Queen, the demon clan is in decline."

Shenwu Demon Emperor saw Demon Queen and sighed, saying the demon clan is in decline.

"I never thought our demon clan would be defeated by the weapons of ordinary humans, it’s unbelievable."

Fire Scale Demon Emperor said. In the age of cultivation, both demon and human cultivators considered ordinary humans as insignificant. But now, the power of ordinary humans is unexpectedly strong, even capable of slaughtering Demon Emperors. Their beliefs are crumbling.

"Demon Queen, what should we do now?"

"The demon clan, cannot be destroyed."

"Demon Queen…"

"You know, we suffered a terrible defeat in this battle. The humans could have wiped us out, but they didn’t, there must be a reason."

"What reason?"

"I can’t tell you right now, but don’t worry, the demon clan won’t be destroyed. The war between the two clans isn’t over yet, so don’t lose hope. We still have a chance. For now, calm down and control the Demon King below. Let’s pool our resources. If the three of us break through to the eighth level, we can turn the situation around. The human clan’s space weapons can deal with the Demon Emperor, but definitely not with the eighth-level Demon Emperor…"

The Demon Queen kept comforting the two Demon Emperors, but deep down, she felt unsure.

She didn’t know when they would reach the eighth level, and the human clan didn’t know when they would develop stronger weapons. It’s uncertain if the eighth-level demon clan can handle those space weapons. She’s just hanging on.

Shenwu Demon Emperor and Fire Scale Demon Emperor exchanged a glance. They were surprised by the sudden human clan retreat. After hearing the Demon Queen’s words, they started to believe her a bit. They thought the Demon Queen must have some other tricks up her sleeve.

After calming the two Demon Emperors and stabilizing the morale of the demon clan, the Demon Emperor, along with the two Demon Emperors, made several moves to eliminate a group of reckless human clansmen, stabilizing the chaotic situation of the demon clan.

Later on, the Demon Queen calmed the sea demon clan, first by directly killing a few troublemakers, then rewarding some of the Demon God Temple’s inheritance and even personally giving some essence blood to the Demon Kings, finally managing to stabilize them.

The Demon Queen’s strength and methods were unquestionable, as she was an elite nurtured by the entire demon clan during the cultivation era. She possessed all the qualities expected of a Demon Emperor.

With the situation stabilized, the Demon Queen met with the arrival of Big Shadiao, and she didn’t refuse to meet, personally receiving Big Shadiao.

In terms of status, Big Shadiao is still the Demon Queen’s aunt.

The letter opened, Lin Jiang’s spirit gathered in front of the Demon Queen.

"Fang Hua, we meet again."

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Impatience is not what a leader should have, be calm. I sent Aurora falcon to deliver the message in order to arrange a meeting with you. Choose a location."

"Why should we meet? If you dare, come and fight me."

"Fang Hua, you know very well that if Feng Jiu hadn’t appeared, you would have died long ago. The Human Army has already destroyed the Demon God Temple."

"Then it’s better if I don’t see you."

"If I don’t get the answer I want, I will order an attack. Not a single demon above the fourth rank will survive. For the sake of the demons, you should meet me. This is your only chance, you have no choice."

Lin Jiang’s cold voice came out, and the Demon Queen fell silent. She didn’t know what Feng Jiu had said, but she guessed it must have been something to intimidate the humans.

She agreed with what Lin Jiang said. She had no choice. The demon race was too weak now compared to the human race. Dozens of Space Battleships were enough to destroy all the demons in Fangzhang Continent. And the humans could build several times more of these Space Battleships. In theory, humans didn’t even need to send any high-level cultivators.

"Alright, let’s meet once in half a year. There is an island called Curtis in the Endless Sea. Let’s meet there at that time."

"Okay, Cao Ying and I will go together. You come alone, no tricks. Otherwise, I can destroy the entire Fangzhang Continent at any time."

"Don’t worry, my demon race is not interested in doing such things."

The Demon Queen sneered, trying to save some face. She knew very well that the three Demon Emperors couldn’t stop Lin Jiang and his friends for long. If they played tricks, they would really die.

Lin Jiang’s soul dispersed, and the Demon Queen looked at Big Shadiao, who still had a clear yet foolish look in his eyes.

"Auntie."

"Oh."

"Auntie, you have flown so far and must be tired. Come, let your niece show you around and refresh you. Auntie, have you ever seen the scenery of the demon race before…?"

The Demon Queen was smiling happily, joking around and charming Big Shadiao into staying as a guest without thinking too much.
