Chapter 24:Demon Emperor

Without saying much, Illustrious Emperor brought his sword out and swung it with immense strength.

All the guards were cut in half as he continued ahead. He opened the gate and entered the palace.

"Wen Yin! Where are you?" Illustrious Emperor let out loudly. His voice echoed in the whole palace.

"I've never seen you so irritated. Did something happen?" Wen Yin said as she came down the stairs. She was wearing a green dress that looked much like a gown. The dresses tightly wrapped around her heavenly body.

"Does Xu Liang have a special physique?"Illustrious Emperor asked with a straight tone.

"Yea... he does. Why?" Goddess of Medicine Wen Yin responded with a smile.

"What Special Physique? What can that physique do?" Illustrious Emperor asked again.

"It's not certain. It is a Spiritual Type Special Physique that hasn't appeared before. I'm not certain what it can do, we will only know once his physique awakens." Wen Yin said with a thoughtful expression on her face.

"Ahmm... Is it possible that this physique can allow a mortal to use Origin Energy while only being at the Saint Realm?" Illustrious Emperor inquired again.

"Origin Energy? Do you mean Prince Liang...?" Wen Yin became shocked as she deduced the meaning hidden inside the Illustrious Emperor's question.

"He can use Origin Energy! Tell me if this is possible because of his physique! It's either that or he's a spy of the Demonic Realm!" Illustrious Emperor said in a heavy tone.

"He can use Origin Energy? That...that shouldn't be possible but... there's still a lot that is unknown about special physiques. Why do they appear randomly, how many abilities can they give, what are their limits, we have no idea. So I can't say for sure. There might be a possibility that his physique can give him such abilities. It's a never before seen ancient physique after all." Wen Yin said with a thoughtful look on her face. Even she couldn't believe that a physique could provide such abilities, but she knew that anything was possible.

"Hmm... so even you're unsure! There's no proof that it's the reason, still, my brother said it so convincingly! That's no doubt that he's thinking more about that boy than about our realm! My brother would have killed him if it was another person who showed off such abilities! He had changed." Illustrious Emperor said to Wen Yin. Wen Yin didn't respond to his comments.

"Let's go! We are leaving." Illustrious Emperor said as he turned back. He left the palace just as haughtily as he came.

"Sigh... His anger is really scary... My poor guards." Wen Yin muttered as she saw the bodies of her guards at the door. Wen Yin snapped her fingers.

The giant tree that stood at the center of her palace, had various branches that bore many green leaves. As soon as she snapped her fingers, 4 branches of the tree extended outwards and reached the dead bodies of the guards. The branches twisted and turned as they gripped the dead bodies and pulled it towards the tree.

As soon as the bodies reached near the tree, the tree absorbed the bodies. Not even the bones were left. Soon after the tree absorbed the bodies, four more branches extended from the tree.

"Thanks for serving me." The Goddess of Medicine muttered as she entered her palace.

"Select new guards for the entrance!" She ordered her butler as she climbed the stairs again.

Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu waited for quite some time in Yue's room, but Xu Liang didn't wake up, instead, it was Yue who woke up first.

Her eyes opened wide as she saw her father standing in front of her. She tightly clenched the blanket that was covering her body as she wasn't wearing anything underneath.

"F... father... What are you doing here?" Yue asked as she initially stuttered.

"Oh, you're up. I was looking for Liang'er. Surprisingly he was cultivating inside your room." Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu said as he looked at Yue with a gentle smile.

"Why is your face so red? Are you having a fever?" Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu noticed her crimson face as he walked towards her. He placed his hand on her forehead.

"Hmm... there's no fever." Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu said loudly.

"I'm fine, father," Yue said as she tried to act calm.

'I can't let father know that I and brother Liang already... It's not the right time' Yue thought as she wished she could hide someplace right now.

"If you say so. Anyways, looks like your brother is going to cultivate for quite a while. I should leave now." Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu said as he looked at Xu Liang. He turned back to leave.

"You stay here and take care of Liang'er. Send someone to inform me when he wakes up. I have some things to ask him." Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu said in a serious tone as he looked at Mengchan.

"Y...yes master." Mengchan nodded her head hurriedly.

Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu and War God Zhen left the room.

"Miss Yue, How was your night?" Mengchan asked with a teasing smile as she glanced at Yue.

"It was the best night I ever had," Yue responded without thinking for even a second.

"Hmmm...I never knew Master Liang could be so amazing." Mengchan chuckled lightly as she glanced at Yue.

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Yue asked as she felt something strange in her words.

"Oh, nothing. I was only talking about the master's physique that allows him to use Origin Energy. He must've spent quite a lot of energy last night that he is needing so long." Mengchan chuckled as she walked at the corner and sat on a chair.

"Origin Energy?" Yue finally noticed the vortex of origin energy around Xu Liang.

Back inside the demon realm, a secret meeting was taking place.

There was a large hall. Inside the hall sat the Demon Emperor. The ruler of Demonic Realm.No one knew his actual name. Even if someone knew his name, they wouldn't dare speak of it as it would be the biggest taboo of the Demonic Realm.
