World-Ending Demon Emperor-Chapter 1646 - 729: The Despair of the Cave Lord! Di Nie Summons Lanling! (Part 2)
However, upon hearing Hei Naiwu’s voice, the Master of Misfortune Cave immediately led the nine elders, along with hundreds of disciples, out of the cave’s gate for a welcome.
Among them, the Master of Misfortune Cave even directly knelt down.
Hei Naiwu was taken aback, feeling like his worldview was utterly shattered.
The Master of Misfortune Cave was someone he had met before, whose grandeur was such that it even surpassed that of his father, the former Black Demon Banner Master.
Previously, every time the Black Demon Banner Master met the Master of Misfortune Cave, he would salute first and addressed him as brother.
Yet every New Year, Hei Naiwu had to bow down at the Misfortune Cave Abode, and each time the Master of Misfortune Cave spoke to him, it would not last more than half a minute before he was dismissed.
It could be said that in front of the Master of Misfortune Cave, Hei Naiwu did not even have the right to speak, only to kowtow.
And now, the dignified Master of Misfortune Cave was actually kowtowing to him.
Hei Naiwu felt like he was drunk, it was so exhilarating!
Previously, although he had pledged loyalty to Lanling, it was because of his father Hei Zhou’s influence. Deep down, he was not convinced by Lanling and was always harboring the thought of reclaiming the Black Demon Flag for the Hei Family one day.
However, at this moment, he clearly felt that he had transcended his original status, all thanks to the new master Lanling.
After the thrill, Hei Naiwu did not forget his duty, and said coldly, "E Yun, do you know your crime?"
The Master of Misfortune Cave knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "E Yun knows his crime and deserves to die ten thousand deaths."
Hei Naiwu said, "Since you know your crime, what should you do?"
The Master of Misfortune Cave said, "Bear the rod and plead guilty, awaiting to be chopped into pieces by the Flame Demon Lord, and allow him to appoint the new cave master."
Hei Naiwu was overjoyed in his heart, not expecting things to go so smoothly.
In this way, his father’s painstaking effort, Hei Zhou, was not in vain.
He knew that in the Flame Demon Council, except for his father, Hei Zhou, all the other elders were steadfastly in favor of completely annihilating the Misfortune Cave Abode, as anyone who offends the dignity of Master Lanling must be executed without mercy.
It was his father, Hei Zhou, who remembered past friendships and tried to preserve this branch of martial lineage at the Misfortune Cave Abode, proposing only to deal with the Master of Misfortune Cave alone while sparing the Misfortune Cave Abode.
Hei Naiwu said, "Since you know your crime and are willing to accept punishment, then return with me to the Flame Demon Banner to kneel and kowtow to the master, and follow the disposal!"
The senior disciple of the Master of Misfortune Cave, Elder Eye, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Young City Lord, it is nearly three thousand miles to Flame Demon City. How can you not have a cup of tea or a meal after coming such a long distance? It would make the Misfortune Cave Abode appear ignorant, and your mount must be exhausted as well. Please rest for a while, I have some matters to consult with the Young City Lord."
Hei Naiwu hesitated slightly, then nodded, and descended at the entrance of the Misfortune Cave Abode.
Subsequently, the Misfortune Cave Abode received Hei Naiwu with very high etiquette, even surpassing the courtesy they offered to his father, Hei Zhou.
After being welcomed into the cave, a high-standard banquet was held in honor of Hei Naiwu, with all nine elders present, except for the guilty Master of Misfortune Cave.
Soon, Hei Naiwu understood that besides the Master of Misfortune Cave going to accept punishment, someone else needed to accompany him to Flame Demon City, as this person would be the new Master of Misfortune Cave and needed to express submission to Lanling.
Hei Naiwu surely knew that if the Misfortune Cave Abode took the route of surrender, then the new master would naturally be approved by Lanling.
At the same time, he knew that the Flame Demon Council had chosen Elder Eye, but he could not say it aloud.
"The master did not mention who should go to Flame Demon City to pay respects," Hei Naiwu said, "but I have a thought."
Elder Eye said, "Young City Lord, please enlighten us, the old ones are all ears."
Hei Naiwu said, "I dare not claim the title of Young City Lord. Although my father is the Lord of Dark Demon City, the next generation city lord may not necessarily be me, it requires the master’s appointment."
After clarification, Hei Naiwu said, "I think the opportunity is rare, and the nine elders have never met our master, so why not take the opportunity to meet him?"
The meaning of Hei Naiwu was very clear, not only should the new cave master go to pay respects to Lanling, but the nine elders should also go.
This, of course, indicated that the Misfortune Cave Abode was no longer equal to the Flame Demon Banner; it wasn’t surrender, but complete allegiance to Lanling, the Flame Demon Banner-Master.
The Misfortune Cave Abode clearly disagreed vehemently. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
But the situation was obviously clear, there was no choice but to submit or perish!
The Misfortune Cave Abode was very strong, but was it stronger than the army of the Heavenly Demon Monarch from that day?
The entire Misfortune Cave Abode had only three Demon Lords, over thirty Demon Sect Masters, three hundred Demon Martial Grandmasters, and only two to three thousand Demon Warriors.
The nearly two hundred thousand army of the Heavenly Demon Monarch was entirely annihilated, what more the Misfortune Cave Abode?
So, apart from kneeling to swear allegiance, there was no other way.
At this moment...
Suddenly, a cry from the ghost stingray came from outside.
Then, the nine elders of the Misfortune Cave Abode present clearly sensed a tremendously powerful energy approaching, almost like the overwhelming pressure of a giant mountain.
The nine elders of the Misfortune Cave Abode were shocked, could it be that Lanling was so impatient to send an army to attack?
"Please wait a moment, Young City Lord, I will go out to check," Elder Eye said, then left the cave.
...
Outside the Misfortune Cave Abode, there were over a thousand ghost stingrays floating in the sky!
Leading them was none other than Prince You Ming.
Behind him were a thousand martial artists from the five great venerable forces, the twelve Demon Banner forces of the martial path.
A total of eleven Demon Lords, a hundred and fifty Demon Sect Masters, and over a thousand Demon Martial Grandmasters.
Prince You Ming had actually brought a powerful martial path force to provide aid.
