Mortal Cultivation-Chapter 273

273 Dragon Demon Emperor [II]

At this time, there was a man standing in the Dragon Fort Hall, his lonely back looking at the pitch-black world outside the tall French windows, and he hadn’t moved a step for a long time. There was not even any movement of his body, as if he was a statue.

Inside the tall hall hangs a circle of braziers, and the oil inside was burning violently, occasionally making a crackling sound.

The scarlet carpet on the ground, various precious furnishings with strange shapes, and the tall carved dragon chair in the center of the hall all reveal the extraordinary identity of this man standing in front of the window.

That’s right, this man was the highest existence in the Demon Race – the Dragon Demon Emperor.

The moment the black shadow walked into the hall just now, he knelt down in the hall and didn’t speak. He knelt there motionless, as if he had become another statue.

After an unknown amount of time, the Dragon Demon Emperor who was standing in front of the window finally moved and turned around slowly. He saw that the Dragon Demon Emperor was not old on the surface, only about thirty or forty years old. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

The handsome face matched with the silver-white brocade clothes was very unrestrained, and the vertical lines between the eyebrows add a touch of heroism. If the Dragon Demon Emperor stood in the crowd, he would definitely be called a beautiful man, the kind that even men would envy.

The Dragon Demon Emperor looked at the person who was kneeling on the ground, and murmured, “Is there really something wrong?”

The man knelt on the ground and didn’t answer, but lowered his head even further.

.....

After a moment of silence, the Dragon Demon Emperor sighed and said, “Is it Haoying or Haoyan?”

The person who came rushed to the Dragon Demon Emperor and kowtowed respectfully again, and said carefully. “Emperor Huilong, it’s the eldest son Haoying.”

After speaking, a flash of inspiration radiated on the person who came, and a ninth-level dragon magic crystal emitting a gleaming aura appeared in front of him.

The Dragon Demon Emperor’s body seemed to sway a bit, and as soon as he raised his hand, the Dragon Demon Crystal was sucked into the Dragon Demon Emperor’s hand. After watching for a long time, the Dragon Demon Emperor finally closed his eyes, and two lines of hot tears streamed down the corners of his eyes.

A few days ago, the Dragon Demon Emperor suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his chest when he was retreating and practicing. It was not caused by ecstasy or internal injury, but from the induction of blood.

The Dragon Demon Emperor suddenly woke up from his meditation. Could it be that something happened to his sons?

The Dragon Demon Emperor gave birth to two sons, the eldest son Hao Ying and the second son Hao Yan.

The eldest son, Haoying, had broken through to the ninth-level cultivation as early as thousands of years ago, and his nature was relatively calm. Therefore, the Dragon Demon Emperor was very relieved to let him go to the southern part of the mainland for training.

The second son, Haoyan, does not have the calmness of his elder brother, Haoying. Seeing that his eldest brother had always been favored by his father, he was very unconvinced. He always thought that he would break through to the ninth level earlier so that he could compete with his eldest brother for favor.

For nearly a thousand years, Hao Yan had been stagnant on the edge of breakthrough, which made him very impatient, so he had been traveling all over the continent, looking for opportunities for breakthrough. Because of this, Haoyan has had too much friction with humans. For nearly a thousand years, the mainland had not been very peaceful because of Haoyan’s relationship.

Could it be that something happened to Hao Yan? The Dragon Demon Emperor had already heard about what his second son Hao Yan had done on the mainland, but he didn’t take it to heart. In the eyes of the Dragon Demon Emperor, destroying a few human tribes was nothing more than the same feeling of human beings hunting down a few low-level monsters.

But the pain in his chest told the Dragon Demon Emperor, whether it was Hao Ying or Hao Yan, there must be an accident with one of his sons. This was the instinct of the Dragon Demon Clan. It’s the heart-wrenching feeling that only belonged to the loss of a loved one.

Therefore, the Dragon Demon Emperor immediately dispatched his cronies and divided them into two groups to find out the reason. A week had passed, when the cronies sent out finally got a reply, but it was not the result that the Dragon Demon Emperor most hoped for. The eldest son Haoying had died.

Why? Why Haoying? The dragon demon emperor’s heart was bleeding, and the pain of losing a child was the same for the dragon demon emperor as for human beings.

Maybe if it was Hao Yan who died, the Dragon Demon Emperor would not be so sad. It was not that the Dragon Demon Emperor doesn’t like his second son Hao Yan, but because, in the Dragon Demon Emperor’s heart, he had long regarded his eldest son Haoying as his heir to the throne.

The second son, Haoyan, couldn’t be trusted as the heir. With his personality, he was not suitable for inheriting his position, otherwise the world would be in chaos, which would only make the demon race quickly walk on the road of extinction.

“Who killed my son?” After a long time of grief, the Dragon Demon Emperor finally suppressed the tremor in his heart and squeezed out a sentence.

The person who came knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: “Lord emperor, your subordinates have already investigated it clearly. It was the Elder Hall in Nanfeng City who dispatched many experts to besiege the eldest son while he was out alone, and the eldest son was finally exhausted.”

The Dragon Demon Emperor pondered for a moment and said, “With Haoying’s character, you won’t be so careless, do you still have something to hide from me?”

The visitor paused for a while, and then said: “Lord Dragon Emperor, according to the investigation of your subordinates, the eldest son happened to enter Nanfeng City alone.”

“Oh? What was he doing in the city?” The Dragon Demon Emperor asked, “Why is there no one to accompany him?”

The visitor said, “It’s only because of a human woman.”
