Chapter 577 - Guest of the Demon Mountain (9)”
Qing Feng was ready to refute the ancestral snake again when a flustered voice from the outside interrupted him: “Chief, this is not good! Its His Majesty! He’s demanding your presence and is ordering you to crawl over to him!”
What?
The middle-aged man shuddered at the news.
It can’t be, Ancestor is right and intends to wipe out our entire snake clan?
“You go ahead.” The old ancestral snake bitterly smiles: “I fear I can’t even move my body anymore in my current state. Whatever is to come, you must handle it in my stead now Qing Feng.”
“Yes, Ancestor.” Closing his eyes, the man bows his head in compliance before turning away for the door.
……
The main lobby of the Snake Clan’s home.
Qing Feng had just stepped into the hall when he was immediately confronted with the peerless contour of the mentioned man.
“Sire.” Trembling all over, the snakish individual hurries to scurry forward with no way to speak. Against that presence, all his excuses and words were lost in that instant.
“You snakes are really bold you know, daring to touch my wife and child even.” The cruel and bloodthirsty light beams out of Di Cang’s eyes as he spoke, “Or have the years of peace completely muddled the snakes’ awareness?”
The original snake family here was no more than slaves working under the protection of the Demon Realm, the lowest of the low. In fact, most of the other racial clans were free to give them a few kicks whenever they pleased, that’s how low they were and how powerful the old clans were. For example, the dragon and phoenix race alone were enough to make the snake clan cry for mercy.
“Sire, this is entirely the fault of Qing Luan. She has already paid the price!” Clearly trembling in that voice, Qing Feng wanted to pray for some kind of help right now. “Please have mercy on our clan. I promise none of our members would ever do something so foolish again like going after the position of being the queen.”
Di Cang only sneered at that lie: “As if a simple Qing Luan would have the courage to do what she did. Don’t think I wouldn’t know. I’m perfectly aware of your entire clan’s scheme by this point, including many others as well.”
Qing Feng was stiff as a rock over the last part. Why is His Majesty so heartless? Its common for a man to have multiple wives in this day and age, what’s wrong with us wanting to send a member of our clan to his side?
“Someone come!” Expressionless and unreadable, Di Cang coldly calls out to his minions.
“Sire, please give your command.” The leader of the group that came with him promptly answered.
“The snakes dare to scheme against the royal family! The crime is treason and shall be punished with death! None is to live today!”
None is to live today!
That look, that tone, it’s so cold and heartless that it’s like the entire clan of snakes in the Demon Realm were dispensable extras. But in truth, they’re not and would greatly cause a hurdle to his grand plan of invading the Celestial Realm.
Even so…
Their behavior has completely violated his bottom line, a step that never should’ve been taken!
“Sire!” Qing Feng slams to the ground in a begging posture: “Please have mercy! Attacking the Celestial Realm requires a lot of manpower and the forces must be in great shortage. Our snakes will definitely be useful in your great plan, please forgive us this time and allow us to make amends!”
