67 - Two Demon Generals

Emperor Xiao frowned, "Something what is it? Until you think it's very important"

"I just want to say that man is not the culprit of the killing of the prince", Han Liangyi began to explain that he has the ability to see the past.

Han Liangyi was looking for an item that the prince had brought with him when the prince's death occurred. When he got the information, he immediately looked for it and saw the past of the fire pheonix sword which was one of the sky level weapons. The sword was carried by the prince on the day of his death.

He also learned that the person who attacked the prince was not human. The prince was guarded by a powerful demon when the prince first visited the human world. While the opponent is only one person. Plus the prince also had considerable strength for a demon with an age like him back then.

Easily the prince's opponents defeat all demons and finish them off, including the prince himself. The opponent let the one general guarding the prince go to inform him of the prince's death.

The general told us the perpetrator was human. What he saw at the time was a human being. What Han Liangyi knew was that no human could reach such a high level that he could defeat those demons, let alone that he was only one person. That person's face was not himself familiar as one of the strongest people Han Liangyi knew.

So that was how Han Liangyi felt that the attacker was not a human.

"So that's how Emperor Xiao. Humans are not the culprits who killed the prince" Han Liangyi said.

Emperor Xiao stared intently at Han Liangyi, "Why should I trust you?"

"Liangyi's right. It wasn't the man who attacked me back then, dad. The energy is not human energy. His energy is very foreign" Liu Chen said.

Emperor Xiao looked at Liu Chen, "So who attacked you?"

"I don't know either. But for sure, he's not human. I believe that" Liu Chen said seriously.

"Emperor Xiao, please don't fight with humans anymore. Isn't the reason you fight and hate people because you think they're the killers of your son? But now he's here. He has also said that the killer is not human" Han Liangyi said as he looked at Emperor Xiao.

"He? Did ya? Is that why the devil attacked the father man? Is it just because of me?", Liu Chen pointed to himself as he looked at the Emperor.

The Emperor looked the other way, as if shying away from Liu Chen's eyes. It's like holding in shame.

"It turns out you're very affectionate and considerate of me, aren't you? Until like that", Liu Chen smiled mockingly.

"You shouldn't have said it in front of him", Emperor Xiao pointed at Liu Chen.

"Eh? Why why?" confused Han Liangyi.

"Haha, you finally admit that I am very valuable to you, huh? Even after I died back then, you wanted to avenge mine", Liu Chen smiled mockingly. His nature when close to Emperor Xiao was indeed the nature of the demon prince.

Han Liangyi nodded his head in understanding, "So because of that "

"No, you're wrong. Don't be so confident, Gang'er" said the Emperor, who still shunned Liu Chen's gaze.

"Huh, it has been found out also still evasive. Ah, nevermind. It doesn't matter." Liu Chen said.

Liu Chen was silent for a moment, "..So how? Are you going to keep attacking humans, dad?"

Emperor Xiao looked back at Liu Chen and shook his head, "If you say the person who killed you back then wasn't human, then I won't attack them anymore"

Liu Chen smiled, "Is that true?"

Emperor Xiao nodded.

"Huf.. Finally, it has not been in vain my struggle all this time to find out about your reasons, the demons. Attacking humans" Han Liangyi said.

"Gang'er, you have an amazing friend", the Emperor appointed Zong Xian.

Zong Xian pointed to himself in astonishment, "I?"

"When you thought I was going to attack Gang'er again, you blocked me and tried to protect Gang'er. And you know, if you fight me, you'll die. But you still want to protect him" said the Emperor.

Zong Xian smiled awkwardly. Didn't Emperor Xiao just praise him? For the first time he was praised by someone who had a higher standing than him.

"Then, let's go back to Gang'er. All the citizens are waiting for you. They were very happy when they heard that you came back alive", the Emperor looked at Liu Chen.

Liu Chen thought for a moment, "If I go with you now, then you will definitely not let me go again from the demon world and I will not be able to return to this world. I have a responsibility here, so anytime I visit"

"But Gang'er-"

"I've decided to stay here, Dad. But I'll visit you next time. Maybe next year"

"That's too long, I'm worried about you if you stay here"

"Don't a year for the demon race be a minute, huh?"

"Ah, yes. But if it's waiting for you for a year, then it's like waiting for hundreds of years"

"Huf.. I'll visit later. Don't worry if I'm here. After all, I have a friend who is quite reliable. Oh yeah, if I go there, can I bring my friend?"

Emperor Xiao shook his head, "You can't take them there"

"But I went there once with a friend of mine. Well, even though we weren't very well received at the time"

"What?! You took your friend there? For what?", shocked Emperor Xiao.

"We were there to find information about the demon race. Maybe we will get important information, for example about the amount of demonic power that will attack humans. But it turns out we were there getting into trouble", Liu Chen sighed.

"It should be that the way to enter the demon world is unknown to others. Well then, I'll finish them off. So that no one leaked that information. Where are they now?", the Emperor stared at Liu Chen.

Zong Xian and Han Liangyi gulped their saliva. Because they were two of Liu Chen's friends who went to the demon world.

"Dad! What are you saying?! Killing them? Nah! Don't kill them father, if you're still going to do it, then I'll be the first to protect them", Liu Chen stared intently at the Emperor.

The Emperor breathed a rough breath, "Alright. I'm not gonna do it"

"And please let me bring some of them. I promise I won't bother you and the other demon residents. I just want to go on an adventure with them in the demon world. I also made sure that there would not be any of my friends who would reveal any information in the demon world", Liu Chen looked at the Emperor with a clear gaze.

"His eyes are like his mother's. I couldn't resist his wish, it was very difficult ", the Emperor finally relented and nodded, "Alright. But keep that promise"

"Yes, I believe my friend will not share information regarding the demon world with the human citizens" Liu Chen smiled happily.

"Then, I can go now. I will also continue my activities" Liu Chen continued.

"Heh, you kicked your own father out, you son of a bitch. Even though I'm going back to the demon world, don't think you're here without a guard. Although you can be said to be strong in this human world, but there are still some people with power that is above you", the Emperor glanced at Han Liangyi. Then he looked back at Liu Chen.

"So father will send a General to take care of you" Emperor Xiao continued.

Liu Chen was surprised, "What?!", he shook his head, "No-no. That General will forbid me to do whatever I want"

"There was no rejection", the Emperor looked at Liu Chen as if he could not refuse what he said.

"Huf.. But tell the General you're gonna send to take care of me so he doesn't interfere in my business. Because every general who takes care of me, they forbid me a lot. Like forbidding me to go to the forest, preventing me from holding a sword and anything else"

"General Ding, send two generals to guard the prince. Send them to a forest with a lake of light. Use teleportation to send them here. Also, at least their strength is at the 3-star sky level, send them as soon as possible ", the demon emperor directly telepathically performed on General Ding Bang.

"Okay, Your Majesty "

Emperor Xiao knew that in this forest there was a lake since he fought with Liu Chen in the air. What he knew, the lake was once called the lake of light. Because the water will emit light at night.

Emperor Xiao stared at Liu Chen. "They'll be there soon"

"They? Meaning more than one?", Liu Chen frowned.

The Emperor nodded, "There will be two Generals guarding you later"

Liu Chen just sighed. "As long as they don't interfere too much in my affairs"

Finally 2 hours passed.

Emperor Xiao spread his aura throughout the forest. This aura did not put pressure on anyone. However, due to the aura of Emperor Xiao, many demonic beasts ran away from the forest because they were afraid of the strong aura they felt.

After tens of minutes later, something darted rapidly towards the Emperor. However Han Liangyi was still able to see them, although it was rather faint.

The wind blows strong enough because of something that makes the trees also affected by the wind.

Zong Xian flowed Qi on the legs so as not to be affected by the strong gusts.

The thing was now kneeling before Emperor Xiao and its form now looked rather faint due to the flying dedebuan. "Our respect Your Majesty"

After the debauchery disappeared, two humans finally appeared. But they were actually demons, they hid the horns that were on their heads, just like the Emperor.

Emperor Xiao again withdrew his aura. He had spread his aura so that these two demons knew where he was. "Regulate"

The two demon generals immediately stood up.

The Emperor directly pointed at Liu Chen, "He is Gang'er. You have to protect her"

The two Generals stared at Liu Chen and nodded. They would not doubt the Emperor's words. Although they felt the energy coming out of Liu Chen was human, they knew that their prince did have human energy. His blood is the blood of demons and humans. It was because his mother was human. The two looked back at the Emperor.

"You have to take good care of it. Don't let anything happen to him, do you understand?", the Emperor stared intently at the two Generals.

The two gulped down on their own and said, "We understand Your Majesty"

Emperor Xiao walked up to Liu Chen and held onto both of the young man's shoulders, "Take good care of yourself. Do not let the past happen again. If you get into trouble, tell these two generals or just tell me right away"

Liu Chen nodded, "You're worrying too much about me"

"Huh, not really. Alright I leave", in an instant Emperor Xiao disappeared from everyone's sight.

The two Generals directly faced Liu Chen and knelt down, "Sincerely we are princes, welcome back"

"You two stand up and introduce your names" Liu Chen said.

Both stood up immediately. "My name is Xi Wang"

One of them is a man who looks 40 years old. Even though he's thousands of years old.

"My name is Lin Tian"

Lin Tian was a man who looked to be around 30 years old. Though he was hundreds of years old.

"The power of the demon race is not playing. The two demons that were sent out had sky-level strength. That demon named Lin Tian had a 3-star celestial power. While Xi Wang was a 4-star sky level "inner Han Liangyi.

Liu Chen nodded. He could not see the second tier of demons in front of him. But he didn't want to ask.

Liu Chen looked at Zong Xian, "Are you going to the base or not? Oh yeah, what about your subordinate bandit maekas? Why did you just leave them?"

Zong Xin sighed, and he began to recount his meeting with Emperor Xiao. Until he finally got here.

Liu Chen held back his laughter, "Pft.. So you had to come here, huh? Then what are you gonna do now?"

"Huf.. I'll just go home. After all, I cannot enter the base" Zong Xian said.

"Are you still strong enough to go to the bandit's headquarters? Also, you will meet a lot of people to get there. What if people realize that you're a wanted fugitive looking for an empire?"

"I can take care of myself. I'll just go back"

"Alright, take care of yourself and this is for you", Liu Chen threw a small black pouch.

Zong Xin noticed the pouch in his hand, "What is this?"

"That's my pill", Liu Chen began to explain every usefulness of the pill pill that was inside the black bag.

"Is it okay if you give this to me? This is too precious" said Zong Xian who felt bad.

"It's okay, you take it" Liu Chen smiled.

Zong Xian stuffed the pouch into his space ring, "Alright, thank you. Then I'll go straight back, see you", Zong Xian flew straight into the sky and left.

Now only Liu Chen, Han Liangyi, Xi Wang and Lin Tian remained there.

"Grow your hands out" Liu Chen said as he looked at the two demons in front of him.

Without hesitation, the two of them immediately extended out one hand.

Now in Liu Chen's right hand was a chunk of ice. The left hand has fire. Liu Chen fused the two different elements of that nature into one.

The two of them united into a blue-colored flame that emitted a cold energy. Then, it turned into a fragment of light. Liu Chen directed the beads of light that floated a few centi from his palm, towards the hands of the two demons.

Instantly, the light instantly disappeared replaced with a blue-colored mark on the palms of the two demons. The two stared at the fire sign in surprise. They know it's a seal of loyalty. But why would the prince put that on them? They will not betray and attack the prince. Did the prince doubt their loyalty?

Liu Chen immediately said, "You must know it is a seal of loyalty. It's not that I don't trust you and feel you're going to betray. However, I put it on your body so that you don't say anything about my headquarters and my friends to the Emperor or any other demon race.

If you break it, the blue fire sign will turn red and a few seconds after the fire turns red your body will freeze.

After freezing, the fire starts burning your body until you become dust. I know you have power over me, but the seal I put up is made of two different elements that make it stronger. So you will still die if you break my words. Therefore, never try to divulge information about my headquarters and my friends to others, including the Emperor. You understand?"

"We understand, prince"

"Then, you guys come with me" Liu Chen started walking towards the headquarters. The two demon generals directly followed Liu Chen from behind.
