LDP S3: The Jewel of the Underworld
Ch. 30 — Return of Prince.
Demon King Zhao felt sorry for the fate of Heilong. He had also heard from his men who had been watching the soldiers in the military camp that Heilong had excellent disguise abilities and was difficult to spot. This kind of ability is indeed rare and will definitely be very useful on the battlefield.
“Usually a demon who is no longer useful will soon be purified so that the Demon Dao that is inside him can be utilized by the Demon Birth Lake to create a new, stronger telenta. However, given the huge contribution Heilong had made during his time on the battlefield and the Mysterious World this time around then I decided to make an exception.”
Zhao Lijian was briefly shocked by Demon King Zhao's decision this time. Because, this was the first time Demon King Zhao made an exception to the demon that had lost all of its power.
It was no longer an open secret that there would always be demons who lost their cultivation during the war against the gods. And, something like this almost every year comes up with a number that is not small, there are approximately hundreds of demons that will experience the same accident as Heilong every year.
However, not a single Demon King had ever made an exception and a demon savior under such conditions because this rule had been agreed upon by all Demon Lords.
“I will move Heilong to the Devil's Birth Star until he successfully restores his cultivation. If he fails to live up to my expectations then let him rot there and be purified by the demon-born lake.”
The Demon Birth Star was a most special star in the Underworld and was a forbidden area. For in the star is the Tree of Darkness and the Devil's Birth Lake.
All Devils who want to visit the Demon Birth Star must obtain a special permission from one of the Demon Lords and go through a very strict process considering the importance of the Dark Origin Tree and the Demon Birth Lake for all the Survival of the Devil Nation.
“But, Your Grace. As I recall, all the pavilions in the Demon Birth Star have currently been hired by Demon King Fu to an undetermined time limit. That was also the reason why in these few hundred years the number of demons entering the Demon Birth Star was very limited.”
Zhao Lijian who had been to the Demon Birth Star and lived in that place for several years was well aware of the geography of that star and the hidden dangers that existed there. Therefore, without the protection of the pavilions set up by the Demon Lords it would be difficult to survive in that place.
“Si Tua Fu is indeed very selfish. Luckily I turned down his offer and said that my pavilion was in the renovation stage. However, old Fu's actions had indeed brought a huge impact to my business because until now no demon had intended to rent a pavilion in the Devil's Birth Star.”
Demon King Zhao had actually spread the news to all corners of the Underworld that his pavilion had been completely renovated and was currently still empty. However, the news was only like the wind and then in the ears of the demons due to the pressure from the Fu Clan.
In terms of strength Demon King Fu was only one level below Demon King Dao Gi. Therefore, the influence of Demon King Fu and the Fu Clan of the Underworld was enormous.
Moreover, the current Demon King Dao Gi was also at the Demon Birth Star to serve the punishment of the Creator's envoy. So, indirectly these demons also had to guard the face of Demon King Dao Gi by not visiting the star and seeing him serving his punishment.
“I have my own arrangements to send Heilong to the Devil's Birth Star. Now go to the warehouse of the Zhao Clan and immediately prepare supplies for Heilong during his stay in the Demon Birth Star. You don't have to go back to the first star because I'll send some soldiers to pick up your men and send them all straight to the storage warehouse.”
“Ready, Your Highness.”
Zhao Lijian immediately left this place and went straight to the storage warehouse of the Zhao Clan to prepare supplies. As per orders, he would meet with his troops when he arrived at the storage warehouse of the Zhao Clan.
“Prime Minister, fast facing!” Demon King Zhao exclaimed after seeing Zhao Lijian leave this Palace.
“Does His Majesty have orders for servants?” a middle-aged man with a white-colored beard who was about to touch the ground instantly appeared before Demon King Zhao and immediately saluted.
“Think to the world that from today on I have lifted the punishment I had given Zhao Heilong three hundred years ago and restored her princely status.”
“Ready, Your Highness.”
The Prime Minister immediately left the Palace and made an announcement which he sent to all corners of the country and several Clans that were under the direct auspices of several Demon Lords.
The news of the return of the Prince possessed by Demon King Zhao of course instantly shook the entire star residence of the Zhao Clan and made an uproar in each of the Clans that existed in the Underworld. Because, with the return of a prince, Demon King Zhao will again have a successor.
Three hundred years ago some of the Clans founded by the Demon Lords had rejoiced when Demon King Zhao punished the only successor he had with a very heavy punishment. Because, each of them did want to take over the territory controlled by Demon King Zhao.
After spreading the news throughout the entire Underworld, the Prime Minister immediately picked up Heilong and took him to the prince's special palace that was in the Central Star of the Zhao Clan.
However, Heilong was still not allowed to meet Demon King Zhao for now. I don't know what was on Demon King Zhao's mind. Could it be that Demon King Zhao did not want to meet his own heir who currently had no cultivation at all?
Instead of being disappointed, Heilong was even more happy because he was actually also afraid if he had to meet Demon King Zhao. Because, he himself was not so sure would be able to hide the truth about his cultivation from the eyes of the Demon Lords.
