System's Super Sect-Chapter 615 - 612. Royal Family Demon — Ying Zhao

That demon had a human face and a horse’s body, towering hundreds of feet high, its entire form wrapped in golden patterns like tiger stripes, exuding a heavy and majestic aura. Its back bore a pair of gray bird wings that, when unfurled, reached hundreds of feet, each flap creating a fierce wind, carrying it across clouds and mountains.

As it flapped its wings, its demon-like mouth emitted a low yet melodious, strange but distinctive sound, akin to the sound of a water-drawing pulley.

When this sound was carried by the wind to the ground, passing through the gaps between trees into the forest, drifting across the plains, and finally piercing into the ears of the demons. Those demons who heard the sound first looked up fearfully at the sky, then buried their heads in submission.

Among the myriad of kneeling demons included the most supreme Demon Kings of each territory.

Even as kings, they too bowed before this sound.

This was no longer a pressure from bloodline.

Within the Demon Race, the weak demons submit to the strong Demon Kings; lower bloodlines submit to higher bloodlines.

But Demon Kings submit to the Royal Family!

This is the intimidation of status.

Obviously, this demon’s body was flowing with the bloodline of the Royal Family—the most revered bloodline acknowledged among the Demon Race of this land.

"Four Kings, the area around East Lake is filled with Profound Realm demons. Are you sure you want to join a Sect here to avoid the throne strife?"

Behind the demon, another hundred-foot Giant Demon suddenly spoke in human language.

Four Kings!

Within the Royal Family of demons, only the Demon Emperor’s children can be honored with this title.

As for the Four Kings, it represents the fourth child of the Demon Emperor.

"Yu Jiang, do you think this king is afraid?"

The huge demon head suddenly turned around.

With this look, all the demons behind felt a sudden chill as though deep within a bone-piercing Cold Pool.

Yu Jiang hurriedly explained in human speech, "Dare not! The Four Kings coming to East Lake to join the Immortal Sect is indeed a wise choice. Immortal Sect wiped out Dragon God Sect, and its power is unquestionable among the Human Race. Four Kings do not wish to partake in the throne strife, so joining the Immortal Sect for cultivation is the best choice, Three Kings and Second Kings would absolutely not find you."

Upon hearing Yu Jiang’s explanation, the demon head retracted.

"No need to explain, whether this king is afraid or not is merely your imagination... This king just does not want to partake in this throne struggle; simply wants to find a place to cultivate peacefully. Heaven and Earth Lake is so vast, beyond Heaven and Earth Lake is the world, how would this king confine itself to East Lake for a throne?"

"Four Kings, your foresight is unparalleled, we are shamed by comparison."

"No need to flatter, this king hears such words hundreds of times every day... Say something this king usually doesn’t hear."

"Hmm... Four Kings, please forgive my words. Immortal Sect is located at East Lake, closely neighboring our territory of Demon Emperor Lake, could it be too close?"

"Isn’t there the agreement with the Hundred Sects Alliance still there? This king believes Third Brother and others wouldn’t be foolish enough to break the agreement during Demon Race’s turmoil. Once broken, the Hundred Sects Alliance might launch a coalition, then with Demon Race’s present state, it would undoubtedly be a defeat like a thunderbolt."

"Then are you joining with the identity of Four Kings? Or... changing the identity."

"Why change? This king doesn’t change name or surname, called Ying Zhao. Changing name to join Immortal Sect, what use is it? It would be exposed sooner or later."

The bloodline of the Demon Emperor flows within him, every move can make all demons submit.

Names can be changed, but how can the bloodline be altered?

Suddenly, a stunning sight swept overhead!

Black in color, incredibly fast, swept through the clouds above, then disappeared into the Sea of Clouds. Ying Zhao, Yu Jiang, both demons naturally looked towards the top.

Yu Jiang, the Wing Race Demon King of Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression.

Its perception detected the presence of demons overhead!

Although Ying Zhao’s power merely rivals the Divine Profound Realm, thanks to possessing the Royal Family bloodline, it can sense all demons around weaker than its bloodline.

It too instantly sensed the demon passing overhead.

Both gaze towards the top simultaneously!

Following that, Yu Jiang flapped its wings and flew into the clouds, circling within the clouds several times, not spotting anything, only then did it descend.

After descending, it hurriedly said to Ying Zhao, "Four Kings, indeed a demon passed through the clouds just now, but no trace can be found."

Ying Zhao emitted an icy voice in human language, "This demon’s bloodline is extraordinary, though not as noble as this king’s Royal Family bloodline, not too far off either. If it dares to descend, kill it directly. To see this king in Heaven and Earth Lake yet not descend to pay respects, their intentions are punishable!"

Despite the intrigue, Ying Zhao didn’t care at all.

For he is the fourth son of the Demon Emperor.

Accompanied by the demon servant given by the Demon Emperor—Yu Jiang.

Yu Jiang is a Great Demon of Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression, its bloodline is exceptionally noble. If not following him, Yu Jiang would absolutely be a dominion demon king, commanding over all demons.

"At your command!"

Yu Jiang answered, then turned its heterochromatic demon eyes towards the surroundings.

Instinct told it, that demon would return.

In ordinary times, such an elusive Great Demon appearing above would be of no concern.

But now it’s the critical moment of the Demon Race’s throne struggle, during a sensitive period, suddenly appearing at East Lake these kind of Great Demons necessitates caution.

Indeed, from within the clouds suddenly emerged a black demon body.

Not hundreds of feet,

merely ten feet.

But the aura it emanated was vastly stronger than Yu Jiang. That demon Qi overshadowed all.

"Four Kings—"

All demons lifted their heads in unison, gazing upon this black Great Demon whom one could tell is intent on staying.

Ying Zhao recognized it instantly, transformed into human shape, becoming a youth in golden garment, landing on Yu Jiang’s back, a hand behind, exuding an air of arrogance.

"Black Creek, why not bow upon seeing this king?"

The black Great Demon Beast’s mouth curled into a grin, letting out two high-pitched laughs, then said, "Black Creek has since days past already kneels only to the Three Emperors; oops!"

"Three Emperors!"

Ying Zhao’s expression changed.

He knew what Three Emperors signified.

His third brother actually preemptively bestowed himself emperor, the intent is obvious, wishing to inform all brothers, this throne he was determined to take.

Ying Zhao had no interest in sitting on any throne, simply lazy to care, lazy to utter any reproachful words.

Instead, he asked, "You don’t assist my brother at Demon Emperor Lake, coming to East Lake for what?"

The black Great Demon Black Creek candidly replied, "To eliminate all obstacles for Three Emperors!"

"This king has no intention for the throne! Haven’t I made it evident enough through my actions?" Ying Zhao’s heart instantly flared with anger, for clearly he’s already left Demon Emperor Lake, intending to join human faction.

This attitude of forsaking the throne is evident enough, isn’t it?

Black Creek continued, "Those words, Three Emperors doesn’t believe, I don’t believe... So, the best way is to make you Four Kings disappear, thereby the threat naturally disappears."

"To make this king disappear?" Ying Zhao’s face still cold and proud, glaring at Black Creek, anger flaming into a fierce blaze, turning into fury, "Yu Jiang, kill him for me."

"Hahahaha—"

Black Creek laughed as if hearing a joke, laughed so heartily that even clouds trembled. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Yu Jiang listening to the laughter, coldly said, "Black Creek, presumably, you think I really can’t defeat you?"

"Not presumably, but truthfully you are indeed too weak."

Black Creek flapped its pair of wings, transforming into a black flash, vanished into the clouds, directly rushing at Ying Zhao.
