Eternal Night Royal Family's Comeback
🕑 Added 2024-04-01 15:17:50 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 197 ---
As Yu Long was busy with his new wealth, two middle-aged men finally arrived at the Divine Phoenix City. They are wearing dark gray robes with an abstract logo of white clouds crossed with three ink strokes and a straw hat.
That logo is the Lost Heaven Sect's symbol.
"Hmm, the city definitely looks worse than I remembered." One of the middle-aged men commented. He sighed because a disaster always happens when everyone doesn't want it.
"It's good enough that the city is intact." The other middle-aged man said casually. "From the news, we knew the disaster they faced was not light..."
"Keke, thankfully, Yu Long demolished the Alliance Army, which is good because those who aligned with the Four Great Sacred Grounds ultimately got what they deserved."
"You really hate them, huh?" The first middle-aged man with a playful expression is obviously Yu Long's Grandfather, Xu Sanshan.
The second middle-aged man, the Demon King of Illusory Demon Realm, Yun Canghai, rolled his eyes. "Of fucking course, I hate them for killing my liege, the Demon Emperor and Little Demon Emperor."
"Don't be a hypocrite, Sanshan. You hate them as much as I do."
"Hehe, I do." Xu Sanshan laughed cheekily. "But I kept it burn in my heart long enough to know everything had its time."
"Thanks, god. I have such a capable grandson to help me with it."
"Yeah, you're sure lucky."
Yun Canghai snorted because Yu Long was a demon he couldn't think of defeating. Even he, the Demon King, sometimes questioned who was the real demon between the two of them.
Xu Sanshan continued walking, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and follow me to the Divine Phoenix Palace."
"Your head is nonsense!"
They walked on the main street and quickly arrived at the Divine Phoenix Palace. Some guards raised their weapons at them warily, but Xu Sanshan pulled a badge from his sleeve.
It works like magic, and the guards even bow to Xu Sanshan.
As the guards let them in, Xu Sanshan and Yun Canghai leisurely entered the Divine Phoenix Palace. On the corner of their eyes, they saw the Primordial Profound Ark parked on the palace's field.
Well, the Primordial Profound Ark was many times smaller now that Yu Long had it under his control. Yes, Yu Long could change its size freely.
"What the fuck is that?" Yun Canghai's eyes widened in disbelief.
Xu Sanshan glanced at the Primordial Profound Ark and replied, "That is Primordial Profound Ark. An ancient vessel that appeared once every three hundred years above the Divine Phoenix City."
"Opportunities and dangers lie within that Profound Ark, and no one ever explored it completely."
"I didn't receive any news about this, but we can assume that Yu Long got his hand on it."
"Damn..." Yun Canghai cursed between his breaths. He was jealous of Xu Sanshan for having an abnormal grandson like Yu Long.
Unknown to Yun Canghai, he was also supposed to have an abnormal grandson, but not anymore.
They continued to walk deeper into the palace, but Yun Canghai couldn't help but steal glances at the Primordial Profound Ark. He could only sigh and probably ask Yu Long if he could board on it later.
Fifteen seconds later.
Xu Sanshan saw a familiar-looking figure in a phoenix-themed red robe and mocked with a grin, "Yo, antique phoenix! I heard you were in trouble."
Feng Tienwei frowned when hearing the unpleasant voice. He was having tea time with his son and Xu Nannan, but the voice ruined the mood immediately.
"Sanshan..." He grumbled happily.
Xu Sanshan walked to the pavilion surrounded by an artificial blue lake and hugged Xu Nannan before sitting beside her. Yun Canghai followed and decided to lean on the supporting pillar instead.
"You arrived faster than I thought." Xu Nannan blinked at her husband.
Xu Sanshan shook his head gently, "As soon as I heard the Five Nations allied to attack the Divine Phoenix Empire, Canghai and I were already on the move."
"We didn't expect Yu Long to finish them before we could even cross the Blue Wind Empire's border."
"I thought the Lost Heaven Master was the one who finished them?" Feng Hengkong and Feng Tianwei were puzzled by Xu Sanshan's words.
Xu Sanshan gave them a weird look, but then he realized his grandson probably didn't tell them about his real identity yet. Xu Nannan even confirmed it by pinching his thigh gently.
"Technically, yes. But no." Xu Sanshan mysteriously answered their confusion.
"Anyway, we are here to support you to attack the Alliance Nations and Four Great Sacred Grounds."
"Can the Lost Heaven Sect provide us with more support?" Feng Tianwei doesn't follow Xu Sanshan's words immediately. The Divine Phoenix Empire is at its weakest state right now.
"They can." Yun Canghai finally opened his mouth.
Feng Hengkong and Feng Tianwei frowned, "And who might you be?"
Yun Canghai rubbed his nose and crossed his arms while introducing himself, "Hear my name, oh you phoenix descendants. My name is Yun Canghai, the Demon Lord of Illusory Demon Realm!"
"..." Xu Sanshan.
"..." Xu Nannan.
What's with this cheesy introduction?
This guy is asking for a beating.
Meanwhile, Feng Tianwei and Feng Hengkong were shocked. They have heard about Yun Canghai, the most wanted evil person in the eyes of the Four Great Sacred Grounds.
The rumor said the Demon King escaped his prison at the now-destroyed Heavenly Sword Villa and went from the face of Profound Sky Continent for a while. Who would have thought Yun Canghai, the Demon King, would be with the Lost Heaven Sect?
But thinking about it, only the Lost Heaven Sect could hide someone like Yun Canghai from the Four Great Sacred Grounds.
"Demon King, Yun Canghai..." Feng Tianwei squinted his eyes.
"Since you are here, does this mean the Lost Heaven Sect and your Illusory Demon Realm have a partnership with each other?"
"For now? No." Yun Canghai answered honestly. "I'm here to follow you guys and destroy Four Great Sacred Grounds, especially the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region!"
"To be fair, even if we have Illusory Demon Realm on our side, there wouldn't be much change in the strategy because the Lost Heaven Sect alone is more than enough to crush the Four Great Sacred Grounds."
"We don't even have to get our hands dirty with Yu Long around." He confidently added.
"Yeah. There are elders from the Lost Heaven Sect waiting at the borders of the Divine Phoenix Empire right now." Xu Sanshan dropped another bomb of fact.
"T-This..." Feng Tienwei and his son were speechless.
"Are you telling the truth, Sanshan?"
Xu Sanshan chuckled, "Antique Phoenix, you don't know how much I hate the Four Great Sacred Grounds."
"We will be a big family soon so I will reveal a bit about my past."
"My real name is Ye Sanshan, I'm the current patriarch of the Eternal Night Royal Family."
"Don't tell me..." Feng Tianwei's eyes widened as he stood up from his seat. "You're!"
Xu Sanshan waved his hand, "Yes, I'm a surviving member of the Eternal Night Royal Family. Well, there aren't many of us for now."
"Unfortunately... Only four people inherited the Eternal Night Royal Family's bloodline, including me, my daughter, Yu Long, and my newly born granddaughter. "
Feng Tianwei rubbed his forehead and commented, "It also means the engagement between Yu Long and your granddaughter is an alliance of both royal families."
"Hehe, Correct..." Xu Sanshan laughed slyly.
"Sanshan, You fox-like son of a bitch..." Feng Tianwei responded with a weak smile.
"You hide yourself so deeply. When we met and fought that day, I always felt your bloodline was extraordinary and not any weaker than Phoenix's bloodline. Knowing you're part of the Eternal Night Royal Family now makes me feel overwhelmed."
"This unbelievable..." Feng Hengkong stared at Xu Sanshan solemnly.
"After more than 1,000 years, the Eternal Night Royal Family will return even stronger."
"Elder Sanshan, your Eternal Night Royal Family is playing a long game that even our Phoenix Royal Family didn't dare to do."
"They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Xu Nannan opened her mouth and giggled.
Although the Four Great Sacred Grounds branded the Eternal Night Royal Family as an Evil Faction, Feng Tianwei, and Feng Hengkong knew it was a big, fat lie.
They wanted a huge piece of cake that the Eternal Night Royal Family had. Feng Tianwei and Feng Hengkong bet the Four Great Sacred Grounds didn't see this coming to bite their asses.
"The Phoenix Royal Family will follow the Eternal Night Royal Family till the end." Feng Tianwei gave Xu Sanshan a determined look. "When are we going to attack?"
Xu Sanshan glanced at the Primordial Profound Ark on the field and replied, "Calm down. Let's wait for Yu Long first."
"Meanwhile, let's discuss how we divide the Alliance Nations' Territories."
"Our Eternal Night Royal Family also wanted a piece of land to build our empire back."
"Did the Blue Wind Empire's Emperor tell you?" Feng Hengkong asked curiously, and Xu Sanshan gently nodded.
A few days ago, Feng Hengkong already had a conversation with the Blue Wind Empire's Emperor, Cang Wanhe. Shortly after, Xu Sanshan also received a message from Cang Wanhe about their plans.
"Let's split it evenly then." The Divine Phoenix Empire's Emperor added without hesitation. "After eliminating the five nations and Four Great Sacred Grounds, the Profound Sky Continent will be under Three Great Empires' jurisdiction!"
"What do you think?" He gazed at Xu Sanshan deeply.
"That sounds about right." Xu Sanshan agreed readily.
