Chapter 229 - 229 Good Samaritan Xia Donghai
At a certain moment, Mo Zhongxiu suddenly trembled.
It was as if an invisible chill had suddenly swept through her entire body, making her shiver involuntarily. She felt as if she had fallen into a thousand-year-old ice cave in an instant.
“His… His Highness… He’s angry?”
Mo Zhongxiu could not believe it, and she could not figure out why.
Why would His Highness the Holy Son get angry out of the blue?
Where did this anger come from?
“Your Highness… you’re…” After hesitating for a while, she spoke up carefully.
“Shut up.”
The voice of the Demon Clan’s Holy Son’s was very icy, and his expression was cold. Just these two words were enough to make Mo Zhongxiu’s entire body tremble.
She hurriedly took a few steps back and bowed to beg for mercy. “I overstepped my boundaries. Please punish me, Your Highness…”
“Shut up.”
The Holy Son’s answer was still only two words.
This time round, it was as if an invisible force had descended and sealed up Mo Zhongxiu’s lips. Her face flushed red, but she could not say a word.
“Very good… very not bad…”
On the throne, the Holy Son’s expression kept changing. For a time, an invisible aura spread out and filled every corner, making one’s heart palpitate indescribably.
Mo Zhongxiu shivered, not daring to say another word.
“This kid named Jiao Jiao is more patient than I expected.” The Holy Son’s expression was somewhat unhappy. He had already waited here for half a day, and his perception power was fully released. He did not let go of any suspicious person…
However, he just could not find Jiao Jiao!
“Could it be that this kid really didn’t come?”
No matter how confident he was, the Holy Son’s heart could not help but waver at this moment. “With the personality he displayed previously, he doesn’t seem like someone who will retreat so easily, but he hasn’t appeared until now… Can it be that he is really scared of me?”
This was unlikely, but not impossible.
At the thought of that possibility, a smile appeared on the Holy Son’s face. “The East Sea Flood Dragon Clan already can’t cause trouble anymore. If you hole yourself up and obediently play the part of the last descendant of the Flood Dragon Clan, I can spare your life.”
“It’s a pity that the Holy Son hasn’t appeared yet.”
Under the sixth door, Feng Xia looked around with a regretful expression. “If he jumps out at this time, I’ve prepared a few gifts for him. Perhaps he can use them.”
He shook his head lightly. “This guy really sucks.”
With that, he turned to look at Zhu Youniang, Mo Lianque, and the others, signaling them to enter the sixth door first. He would guard the door and be the last one to enter, so that he could prevent any accidental situations from happening.
Zhu Youniang stood in front of the door and waved at Feng Xia cheekily before giving him a happy smile. She turned around and jumped through the sixth door.
Just as Feng Xia was about to follow her, a huge figure suddenly rushed over from afar. It aggressively and mercilessly pushed the surrounding living beings to the side.
“Move aside, move aside. Let me pass first! Get lost if you don’t want to be trampled to death!”
Feng Xia instinctively turned his body to one side. Then, a demon beast the size of a small mountain charged over, kicking up a massive amount of dust along the way. Just like that, it rushed towards the sixth door.
Some demon beasts could not dodge in time and were stepped on by it, getting their tendons and bones broken.
Feng Xia thought for a moment and quietly gathered a trace of magical power, turning it into an unbreakable rope. He casually threw it forward like a hook and secretly tripped the demon beast.
Boom—
There was a loud bang and the demon beast immediately lost its balance. It only had time to let out a cry before its entire body flew into the air and slammed onto the sixth door.
“Ah—”
A miserable scream echoed in the air.
The demon beast immediately lost control and shattered the sixth door in front of everyone!
The world was silent.
Feng Xia could not help but be stunned. “This… this is so freaking… lousy?”
That was a door to the Demon Imperial Tombs. By right, should it not be impervious to all techniques and be sturdier than ordinary divine weapons and secret treasures, the kind that ordinary people could not break at all?
How could it get smashed up just like that?!
Comrade Demon Emperor, your tomb seemed to be a jerry-built structure!
At this moment, Feng Xia sensed an unusual gaze. He saw the old woman, the one who moved around the twelve doors and only he could see, turn around and glare at him fiercely.
Feng Xia: “???”
You cannot blame me for this!
“What’s going on?”
“Is the door of the Demon Imperial Tombs actually damaged?”
“What happened?!”
At the same time, the surroundings finally erupted into an uproar.
The 12 doors of the Demon Imperial Tombs would appear every time the Demon Imperial Tombs opened. This had never changed for thousands of years, but right in front of their eyes today, one of the doors had actually been smashed up!
“This… this is freaking…”
Many demon beasts were dumbfounded and moaned and groaned. They could no longer describe their feelings in words.
“What’s going on?” Almost at the same time, a figure with an extraordinary aura descended. All the demon beasts present held their breaths and involuntarily lowered their heads.
“The Demon Clan’s Holy Son?”
Feng Xia instinctively raised his guard.
However, he soon realized that the Holy Son of the Demon Clan was not here for him. He saw a proud young man walking out slowly from the void. Wherever he passed, all the demon beasts involuntarily opened up a path for him.
Some even knelt down on the spot.
He walked past Feng Xia and sized Feng Xia up. Then, he smiled and nodded casually.
“You can all get up. I don’t care about such etiquette. You are all the future pillars of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons. When I see you, it’s as if I can see the future. I see a powerful country that stands firm and will never be destroyed!”
“Thank you, Your Highness…”
The demon beasts let out low roars and got up from the ground one after another.
Feng Xia was stunned for a moment before he began to seriously consider the success rate of a sneak attack at this time.
At the same time, the Holy Son of the Demon Clan had already made his way to the collapsed door. He stretched out his hand and brushed against the broken stone door. His eyes flickered a few times, as if he had thought of something. He turned around and spoke to the many demon beasts behind him
“It’s just a small matter. You don’t have to worry. Since the sixth door has shattered, you can directly enter through the seventh door.”
At this moment, Feng Xia had already given up on the idea of launching a sneak attack.
After all, there were too many people present, and there was definitely more than one demon king watching in the dark. If he attacked now, he might really attract trouble to himself.
After all, his current persona was Xia Donghai, a kind-hearted good samaritan from the Demon Clan. How could such a personality launch a sneak attack?
“Never mind. Let’s wait until we enter the Demon Imperial Tombs.”
Just as Feng Xia thought of this, the Holy Son of the Demon Clan standing in front of the stone door suddenly spoke. He raised his hand and pointed at Feng Xia. Then, he pointed at the demon beast that shattered the stone door and spoke expressionlessly.
“You two can’t leave.”
