Rebirth of a Thousand Years: Entering the New Demonic World
Chapter 37 Punishment
At the moment when the battle of Shuitian Port started, two far-reaching meetings were held in two places in the Demon Realm.
Western Continent, Seven Human Kingdoms, Kingdom of Sturm, Sanctuary Headquarters Castle——
Inside the magnificent classical stone fortress is a modern high-end office building with a completely different style. This is a reflection of people's aesthetic taste for retro while not being able to give up high-tech modernization.
The dignitaries from various countries and forces entered the venue one after another and took their seats according to their order. Among them, Mo Cha, one of the three generals of the Iron Blood Alliance, was there. She was still wearing the noble and elegant priest outfit, with a look of indifference.
Sitting right next to her was an even more eye-catching presence, a tall, beautiful, and proud blonde woman. Whenever someone passed by, they would undoubtedly greet her, showing respect and worship. But to Mo Cha, they would only use the most basic polite expressions. Her popularity and status seemed to be even higher than Mo Cha's.
She was dressed in black, like the abyss in the night sky, mysterious and cold. The armor under her cloak had obviously been carefully polished, and each piece reflected a cold luster, as if it was cast by the shadows of the moonlight, and some parts were engraved with strange symbols, like stars, shining with deep light.
Her face was cold and resolute, as firm as a mountain. Her eyes were glowing with a strange blue light, filled with icy coldness. Her lips were tightly closed and her face was expressionless, as if she had never smiled at the world.
This is a Death Knight of a rare profession, and the one with the most powerful aura attending this meeting. From the few words and glances she exchanged with Mo Cha, it can be seen that this is her immediate superior - the leader of the Iron Blood Alliance: Ban Yue.
Halfway through the meeting, a highly respected high-ranking official from the Holy Land suddenly mentioned to Councillor Mo Cha the previous trip to the Ghost Realm of the Eastern Continent. When asked about the strategic failure and matters concerning the Virtual Realm, he and some representatives of forces that were politically at odds with the Iron Blood Alliance showed unfriendly expressions, as if they wanted to see this powerful force make a fool of itself.
Mo Cha looked at Ban Yue beside him with an inquiring look, and the other party nodded calmly. Mo Cha understood, stood up and walked to the front of the stage.
She reported to the Holy Land in detail all the experiences of her group, including the meeting with the two demon lords Ying Li and Hei Tian Xiao. She did not conceal any information except for Hei Tian Xiao's hiding place and the Holy Land's previous life and Weilanti's siege of the Demon Empire.
Mo Cha had already reported all this to Ban Yue once before. He didn't know what she felt or how she reacted at that time. Anyway, this time she listened to her as if nothing had happened and as if it had nothing to do with her.
The others were not so calm. They all looked terrified and at a loss. Those were two living Demon Lords, the most dangerous existences to all the races in the Holy Land, led by humans.
"As you said, these two demons were both in an incomplete state of strength. Then, as a senior general of the Holy Land and the second-in-command of the Iron Blood Alliance, why didn't you kill them?"
An elderly congressman pushed up his glasses and asked angrily.
"Yes! You are letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Do you know that this will allow them to make a comeback and continue to cause trouble everywhere?"
Another old general covered in medals also shouted angrily, tapping the table hard with the scepter in his hand, making a dull sound.
There was a lot of discussion in the meeting place for a while, most of which were condemning Mo Cha or the Iron Blood Alliance for their poor performance.
Faced with these accusations, Mo Cha's face turned cold, and the aura of the Ghost King realm suddenly rose. The invisible pressure temporarily suppressed all the discordant voices.
She did not ask Ban Yue's opinion, but said without giving in:
"We are fighting in a strange land, but you politicians who have been pampered by yourselves can only speak nonsense from the moral high ground. You want me to kill two demon lords. Do you really think that if others are weak, you will be strong?"
Mo Cha's rebuttal shut up everyone's mouths of doubt. There were few people present whose cultivation was higher than hers. If they couldn't even defeat an enemy at the seventh level of Ghost King Realm, they could only remain silent.
In the end, the meeting roughly finalized a strategic plan to comprehensively track down the remnants of the ancient demon clan.
Although the Iron Blood Alliance was defeated, Ban Yue showed everyone that the Iron Blood Alliance was willing to fight the demons to the end and take up the banner of exterminating the demons and unifying the demon world for mankind.
This spirit of never giving up even in defeat undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Sanctuary. Not only did some of the Iron Blood Alliance's political enemies fail to suppress the Alliance, they also helped boost their popularity.
During the meeting, Mo Cha casually mentioned that the demons had no intention of harming humans from the beginning to the end, which also caused criticism from those present.
Even Ban Yue looked unhappy. She seemed unwilling to hear any good things about the demons. She only wanted to believe that this was an evil race that needed to be wiped out.
This made Mo Cha understand one thing, that is, the high-level officials of the Holy Land really wanted to hide some secrets. She just mentioned it casually, without saying anything, nor did she advocate peace with the demons, but their reaction was indeed abnormal, which was simply a case of trying to cover up one's own faults.
After the meeting, Ban Yue said to Mo Cha on the way back:
"Some truths should not be the truth, because everyone hopes that they are false, so we should follow our inner wishes and make them false!"
Mo Cha nodded. It seemed that the leader also knew some secrets, but she was an out-and-out demon-slayer.
Originally, Mo Cha firmly believed that what she was doing was a just act for the benefit of the demon world, but now the seeds of doubt began to sprout in her heart.
Who is right and who is wrong? Am I a priest or a butcher?
……
The Eternal Night Empire, Saint Catherine City, Ming Castle——
This is a heavily guarded military fortress, standing on the outskirts of the city. Surrounding it is a forest of exotic flowers and plants. Countless war armors are arranged in various locations, and various armaments form a steel defense line ready for battle.
This is the highest military command center of the Eternal Night Empire. The top leaders of the Eternal Night Empire gather here to discuss various important meetings related to the military or demon tamers.
Brannet strode into the huge dark castle, followed by a group of night elf warriors in armor.
He dismissed everyone with a look, then walked into the huge portal in the hall alone, and disappeared after a flash.
After regaining his feet on the ground, Brannet stood in front of a gate decorated with a starry sky. Two mighty soldiers saluted him and opened the gate.
"Sorry, I'm the last one to arrive." Brannet apologized to the people sitting in a circle in the hall, and then landed on an empty high-back chair like the wind.
"It's okay! It's late, but you're not late."
A hearty voice came from the direction of the chief seat, who was an extremely dazzling being.
He shines like a bright pearl among the crowd. His handsome face is as exquisite as a sculpture, with clear lines and deep features. His pair of obsidian eyes sparkle with deep light, as if they can see into people's hearts.
He exudes an innate noble temperament in his demeanor, which makes people feel awe. He wears a gorgeous dragon robe inlaid with dazzling gems, showing the highest dignity and glory.
"Your Majesty is right. I am ashamed." Brannet said respectfully.
That person is the supreme being here and even in the entire Eternal Night, the royal family of Ye Linlang, the chief of the Night Elves, the ruler of the empire - the first emperor: Clabran Gilmantis Ye Linlang.
"Hahaha! It doesn't matter. You are the protagonist of this meeting. Please, Marshal Brannet, tell the marshals present about the gains from this trip and your future plans."
Branner nodded, and stood up immediately after sitting down in the chair which had barely warmed up yet.
"The biggest gain of this trip is getting to know a demon king from a thousand years ago..."
Brannet recounted all his experiences in the Ghost Alliance, focusing on Ying Li and the virtual world. Although he did not meet Ying Li in the virtual world, he seemed to have his own story to tell about this world.
"Oh? There is also a Demon Lord hiding in that world?" Emperor Clabron did not hide his curiosity and excitement.
"Yes. A very weak demon king who has lost his physical body, but he gives me the feeling of being a hundred times more powerful than the current Ying Li."
Brannet even knew this, even though he had never come into contact with Ying Li or Black Sky Xiao in the White Desert Peninsula. How powerful is this?
All those present were high-ranking generals of the Eternal Night, and they were also the combat power ceiling of the Eternal Night Demon Riders. They naturally knew what the existence of the Demon Lord meant.
At the same time, the existence of Yongye also needs to be traced back to the origins of the demons in ancient times. Logically speaking, the ghosts and the hidden demons are allies or distant relatives of Yongye.
But now that I have grown bigger and stronger, facing the return of the Demon Lord, how should I and my people deal with the Demon Lord whose strength is temporarily weaker than mine?
Everyone has made up their minds, but the final decision on how to act depends on their own emperor. They all looked at Emperor Crabran who was sitting on the first seat.
Unexpectedly, Crablank's first focus was elsewhere. "You said... there was a girl with incomplete souls and spirits beside Ying Li, named Galantina?"
Brannet was stunned for a moment, then said disapprovingly, “Really?”
Several people present showed surprised looks. In their view, this name was a royal secret or perhaps a scandal.
Branat's eyes flashed with uncertainty, but soon turned into a smile as before, and said:
"That's good. According to my daughter's report, they have arrived at Shuitian Port, so we must entertain them well."
One of them was playing with a small abacus toy in his hand and said greedily, "I wonder how much money I can make from this so-called hospitality~"
There was even an icy beauty who said bluntly: "It's better to kill him."
"I agree."
"Alas~ What era is this? Why are we still fighting and killing each other? It would be better to try to call for peace first."
The marshals expressed their opinions one after another. The atmosphere of the meeting was relatively relaxed, just like a group of friends with different opinions discussing what to eat in the evening.
Everyone was talking at once, and the emperor, who was in the lead, actually listened to everyone's speeches with an amusement look on his face, neither stopping them nor expressing his opinion.
It's just a vague concept of "entertainment". How to entertain specifically depends on each person's mood. Anyway, Ying Li may not meet anyone.
Only a few insiders know that something will happen around Galanthe in the near future, and some old troubles will surface.
As for the "daughter" that Crablon mentioned casually, she is the boss behind the "Seven Deadly Sins", a shrewd and capable royal elite with profound cultivation.
Regardless of whether he was a father or a ruler of a country, he had no objection to his daughter meeting Ying Li and finding out everything about him.
"Hehe~ My dear daughter, I hope you won't let your father down. And don't... sell yourself to him so easily. He is such an excellent man!"
Crablan said secretly in his heart, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse.
At the same time, in a dim palace far away, a short-haired girl in bed suddenly sneezed. The room was clearly well heated, so the sneeze was unclear, and she swore:
"Who the hell dares to scold me? If I find out who it is, I'll have someone kill you!"
The next moment, she glanced at a magic mirror beside the bed, on which was shown a scene of a giant beast appearing out of nowhere and fighting with black flames all over the sky.
She was stunned for a moment, then immediately started cursing again: "Fuck your ancestors, who told you to expose your true form?!"
Although there was no light in the room and the girl's face could not be seen clearly, one could sense from her impatient and angry tone that she must be grinning and looking ferocious.
Then, she angrily threw a broken sword at the mirror, but the speed was so fast and the light was dim that it was difficult to see where the weapon came from.
The dagger did not shatter the mirror, but instead fell into the water, creating ripples before sinking into the water.
Far away in Shuitian Port, Ying Li and "Gluttony", who had already burst their "stomach world" and returned to reality, suddenly stopped fighting and looked up at the sky in surprise.
I saw a black dot appear in the clouds, and in a blink of an eye it grew to a size as thick as the neck of the huge Taotie body. It did not give the Taotie any room to resist and suppressed him with incomparably powerful pressure, with the sharp blade piercing through the neck of the Taotie shadow.
"what?"
Ying Li flew back and dodged the explosion caused by the huge sword falling to the ground. He was not surprised by the powerful force, but the identity and purpose of the mysterious man who drew the sword. Is he an enemy or a friend? Why would he help me? It is not difficult to defeat the "Gluttony" that I have restrained.
The "battle" on Galantina's side also came to an abrupt end, although the situation was basically the opposite of that on Ying Li's side.
The harem summoned by "Desire" couldn't help but tremble in their hearts when they saw the giant sword falling from the sky. They hid behind the disheveled "Desire" and Galantina with fear in their eyes, and they were in no mood to continue the messy movements in their hands.
"This is... wait, how dare that guy reveal his true form?!" When "Desire" looked towards Ying Li, he suddenly slapped his forehead.
The sword did not kill "Gluttony", but suppressed the figure of Taotie and pinned "Gluttony" to the ground with its pressure.
The next moment, the giant shadow of Taotie disappeared along with the giant sword, but "Gluttony" looked extremely weak and couldn't even get up.
"Hey! What's wrong with you?" Ying Li asked in confusion.
"Gluttony"'s lips moved slightly, but he had no strength to make a sound. Ying Li pressed his palm on him and was surprised to find that this guy's body was empty, even cleaner than when he used "Ghost Ashes" to suck out the air from people, but he was able to cleverly save his life.
There was a sound of footsteps behind her. It was Desire and her harem. She explained in a deep voice:
"It was our master. She didn't allow us to fight in the city with our original bodies. This was the master's punishment for him for disobeying her orders!"
