Illusory Demon Continent

(1 out of 3 chapters of this week)

The birth of his sons has rejuvenated Xiao Long's harem. More than ever then wants to have one of theirs. 

However, the Young Master doesn't care, he has two sons. It's more than enough for him at this moment. To make sure his wives understand the issue, he made them take care of their children the majority of the time.

His two wives only have one day off the rest of the week they have to fully babysit them. 

Even if he has his maids, those are his maids and they will help from time to time, the rest of the time his wives will take care of them.

The reason for this is that he wants to calm their horniness and make them do something. 

However, now that the pair are busy the rest of the Harem can 'move in'...

Chu Yuechan, the pair of Mistresses and the voluptuous crimson-haired beauty Xing Rouyu tried their luck. 

The Mistresses and Xing Rouyu have not awakened their Martial Spirits, yet. This leads them to believe that they need to practise their physique which in turn requires Dual Cultivation.

Regardless of what they want, the result is the same: they need to spend more time with him.

"Young Master~ the majority of your jobs are done now. We should consider working on that deal we made~" The crimson-haired beauty elegantly approached him.

Unlike his other women, these mature ones are not as clingy but more seductive with the way they hold themselves. In other words, they are proficient in seducing with subtle movements, leaning forward, making their breasts jiggle or the way they sway their hips while moving. 

Such seduction is a tease as well so they don't even need to be 'clingy'.

"...Hmm, now that I think about it. You are right about that." 

Xiao Long nodded, he came up with a decision about how to deal with Xing Su becoming his son, reincarnation or not, the guy is still a simp.

He is going to blur and delete the majority of memories, memories are what make the person who he is, so he will make sure Xing Su only remembers the bare bones, enough so that Xing Tong and Xing Rouyu are satisfied the rest will be erased.

Of course, he is planning to train him not to become a worthless doormat.

As he said that the crimson-haired beauty gushed with crimson blush! Finally! 

"T-Then?"

"Let's go."

~~~~~~Time Skip~~~~~~

High above the Illusory Demon Continent space warped as a single figure burst out. 

This was Yun Canghai, the old man looked no older than in his mid-thirties with lush black hair and an aura of a King. The man's cultivation was Peak Monarch even beyond that.

He has spent the past two years cultivating without much break. 

It was just for this moment, for the moment he would return to his home continent.

The moment the wormhole closed behind him he looked around, Taking a deep breath, enjoying the familiarity of his home. 

A few seconds later he rushed forward towards the capital of the Illusory Demon Continent.

A few short hours later he looked at the city below.

"...It has not changed at all, same as before…" The Demon King said with a complex look. It has been around a hundred years. 

After living in the Supreme Cloud Sect, he witnessed how much one can achieve in a few short years.

He witnessed human ingenuity, it was a beautiful and horrifying thing at the same time. 

Horrifying as this Sect will point their weapons at his home. For that reason, he…hoped that under the Little Demon Empress, something had changed. 

But nothing has changed. The only possible difference is that under her rule things are run better…but nothing has fundamentally changed.

As he started to descend towards the Imperial Palace a girl with pitch-black hair and red eyes left through the main doors and looked at the sky. 

Her eyes widened as she saw Yun Canghai. 

"I-Is it truly you!? Yun Canghai?" She asked with a shocked and barely controlled voice, the Empress was in disbelief.

"...this old man apologises for being away for more than a hundred years, Little Demon Empress." The Demon King immediately bowed the moment he landed on the ground.

The Little Demon Empress, Huan Caiyi, shook her head.

"It's fine. This Empress is happy that you are back, unharmed."

The Demon King nodded before becoming extremely serious.

"My Empress, the only reason I am still alive and in such a perfect state is that I have a message from the Supreme Cloud Sect which rules the Profound Sky Continent."

"!?"

The serious tone and the expression he had made Huan Caiyi serious as well.

"Speak. What is it, what is this Sect? We never heard of it, we thought Sacred Grounds ruled the Profound Sky Continent." She motioned to explain.

"We should take this private."

She nodded and motioned to follow her back into the Palace.

Once she took her seat on the throne the Demon King proceeded to explain.

"Not long ago an extremely talented individual was born in the Sky Profound Continent. His talent is so terrifying that Supreme Ocean Palace and its leader the Sovereign of the Seas adopted him and made him her successor.

In just a few short years Supreme Ocean Palace rose to prominence, now they ruled everything in the Profound Sky Continent. As we speak… they are preparing to invade our Continent."

"!!!"

"...Then…you are just a messenger?"

The Demon King stiffly nodded, he then showed his cultivation.

Which was Peak Monarch even more than that!

Such cultivation made the Little Demon Empress pale.

"His talent is not for cultivation, it's alchemy, arrays, formations, he created a Monarch Pill, superior to our Tyrant pill.

As we speak…there are hundreds of thousands of Peak Monarchs under this man's rule."

"...this…"

"...I…this old man…I would… recommend you ask for a ceasefire or some deal…maybe even arrange some sort of marriage. Otherwise, he will not stop. The man is the Devil… he even commands a real Devil. 

The number of bloodlines he created and his fighting style… we have no chance of winning. None… I tried to fight him before… 

I couldn't even touch him, and back then he was merely an Early Monarch, now he is a Peak Monarch and close to exalted Profound God status. We have no chance."

Huan Caiyi looked at the defeated man in front of her. She could see his hollow eyes. 

Whatever he fought before has traumatised one of the Patriarchs of her Guardian Families.

"...Do you have the Demon Emperor seal?"

"...Yes."

He opened his storage space and handed it over to her.

"...My Empress…please… consider this seriously."

She simply nodded at him before looking at the seal. The only chance she has is the Golden Crow. If she doesn't get the bloodline, she will have to think of something else.

"...How much time do we have before they invade?" She asked after putting the seal away.

"A week, I was given a week."

"We understand. Yun Canghai, return to your family and send a word to mobilise and prepare… just in case. Our Continent will not surrender without a fight."

This was what Yun Canghai had feared.

"...My Empress if only you understand. There won't be a fight. A chicken doesn't fight against a Dragon."

"..."

Seeing how he reacted. Few seeds of fear were planted in the heart of Huan Caiyi. Who is this man? Who made the fearless Yun Canghai fear for his life? 

"...What is his name?"

"...Supreme Cloud Sect's Young Master, Xiao Long. The Father of Martial Souls, and the one who brings the winds of change."

~~~

For a moment Huan Caiyi, the Little Demon Empress forgot about the looming invasion from Profound Sky Continent. Instead, she rushed to the Golden Crow in the Golden Crow Lightning Flame Valley.

The Empress easily passed the barrier with the Imperial Seal and rushed to sea the Remnant Soul of the Golden Crow.

In the cave a pair of enormous eyes manifested in front of her.

"Little Girl, what is it you want?"

"Oh Divine Crow, please grant me your bloodline, This girl has the Imperial Seal."

*Snort*

"Impossible. You will die the moment my blood enters your body, little girl. You are a woman, a being of Yin, and this Noble One's blood is extreme Yang. You will implode the moment my blood enters your veins." The crow explained for the last time as this girl tried to get her blood before.

The girl's body shivered the moment she heard that.

"This is why you should return, this Noble One needs its rest."

After saying that she was ejected and appeared outside the valley entrance.

Huan Caiyi bites her lower lip before flying back to the Imperial Capital. There is something she could do! But the odds are against her.

Just remembering the sigh of hollow eyes in Yun Canghai made her feel some fear as well.

~~~

Yun Canghai's aura spread through the whole Yun Family as the Demon King descended in front of his home. He should be happy to be back here, but the floating sect from another continent was on his mind. 

He still remembers thousands of experts preparing for this event. It's still fresh on his mind.

"Father! Heavens! You are back!"

A sickly-looking middle-aged man appeared in front of him. It took a second for the Demon King to realise who this was.

"...Qinghong? What happened to you?" The older Yun said with a frown. As he looked at his son.

"...this…we went to the Profound Sky continent nearly twenty years ago. We got poisoned by one of the Sacred Grounds." 

"... 'We'?"

"I went with Yurou…" 

A frown appeared on his face when he heard his son's explanation.

'If only we had those healing pods…' The Demon King is already missing the benefits of living in the Sect…

"You haven't found an antidote, yet?" 

"...Sadly…no one in the Illusory Demon Continent knows how to deal with this sort of poison."

His son's explanation only made Yun Canghai express an ugly frown.

Does he need to rely on the Supreme Cloud Sect and the Artefacts they make?

"Follow me, we need to discuss something of utmost importance, Send a word, and gather all the elders."

"Y-Yes! Father!"

A few minutes later all the elders looked with sheer awe as they saw Yun Canghai sitting in the family head seat. Most importantly they can sense his borderline limitless power. The family head was Peak Monarch! Never before have they had such an existence!

"The reason I called such a meeting the very moment I returned is because our Continent will be invaded by the Profound Sky Continent in a week." The Demon King said with a heavy voice.

"The Sacred Grounds are planning another invasion!?" His son exclaimed with anger. 

"No, Sacred Grounds are gone. Now they are ruled by the Supreme Cloud Sect." 

"!?"

"...a single Sect ruling the whole continent?" One of the elders whispered with a fearful voice, he can recall that the continent was ruled by four Peak Monarchs, the only reason they resisted last time was because the Emperor had awakened the Golden Crown bloodline and he could fight beyond his cultivation.

Even at [Ninth of Sovereign Profound] he could face all four of them and be victorious. But now, if such a Sect exists it has power superior to Peak Monarch!?

"Indeed. More precisely it's ruled by an extremely talented Alchemist and Array Master. His talent is so terrifying that he is only twenty years old and is already a Peak Monarch." 

*Gasp*

*Gulp*

*Shiver*

The gathered Yuns released all sorts of sounds when they heard that. Several of them looked at each other and had nervous smiles.

"You must be joking, Patriarch. There is no way such talent can exist!"

At that moment overbearing pressure descended on him. 

"Do you think this old man is a liar?" Yun Canghai questioned with a cold voice.

"T-This Youngster wouldn't dare!"

The Demon King scoffed with an annoyed look recalling his cultivation base, then he started to explain in more detail.

"I fought him when he was just an Early [Sovereign Profound], I couldn't even touch him, my attacks hurt me instead of him.

He can cast arrays at a moment of notice and use formations in a combat environment. I was crushed effortlessly. But this was two years ago, now he is at Peak Monarch and stronger than ever before."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"This is just him, but he has the entirety of his Sect behind him. Before I was sent back I saw thousands of Peak Monarchs ready to attack our Continent. We have a week to decide the course of action we shall take."

"...Heavens…what happened to the Profound Sky Continent! It never was this strong!" Yun Waitian, one of the Great Elders said with barely hidden horror.

Yun Canghai could only stiffly nod to the elder's words. It appears there was some reshuffling in how the Elders are ranked, he remembers that Yun Waitian was a youngster when he left for the Profound Sky Continent. 

"The rapid growth is thanks to Xiao Long, the Young Master of the Supreme Cloud Sect. It's a Sect that formed from the merger of Supreme Ocean Palace and Floating Cloud Sect."

"Xiao…Long? I have heard of the Xiao family… but it couldn't be them." Yun Qinghong got everyone's attention.

"...Tell me more, Qinghong." Yun Canghai motioned to tell them more.

"When we were on the run from Sun Moon Divine Hall, we ended up in a small City by the name Floating Cloud City—"

The Patriarch inhaled sharply when he heard that. 

"... That's the city with the same name! Heavens!" 

"!?"

"!?"

The whole family was confused with how the Patriarch was behaving.

"This Sect is situated in a city with the same name… and you said Xiao family… this could not be a coincidence." Yun Canghai softly muttered under his breath with the realisation of what this could mean.

"Father. There is something we need to discuss in private." 

"...Hmm, fine. We can talk when the meeting is over. In the meantime. We are to mobilise by the orders of the Little Demon Empress, If need be our Yun family will fight till the last breath." Yun Canghai's eyes trembled as he said that he had flashbacks of how he fought against Xiao Long, how the Young Master had utterly crushed him with minimal effort. 

Regardless, even if he is just a bug to that Young man, he will sacrifice himself.

'You are no leader, just a mere follower.' Young Man's voice rang in his mind as he remembered how he was defeated and mocked, forced to stare at the statue for a few days.

He was not the only one as other Yuns were forcing themselves not to shiver from fear. Their allegiance to the continent will be tested by this!

~~~

"What do you want to talk about Qinghong?" Yun Canghai asked his son as they were left alone.

"...Father, when we were poisoned in the Profound Sky Continent my wife was already pregnant at that time."

"!"

"You… Why did you take your wife with you when she was pregnant!?" The Demon King snapped angrily at his son.

"...At that time we didn't know!" Yun Qinghong was terrified as he quickly explained himself. Regardless he was in awe of how strong his father was!

For the older Yun decided to forget about this and focus on what his son wanted to tell.

"And then?"

"...As we were running away we hid with Xiao Clan in Floating Cloud City… we exchanged our children with one of theirs as we didn't want to risk Yun Che who at the time had crippled veins and was a newborn."

"...This means?" 

"...Xiao Ying, who is my sworn brother, his son is my adopted son and current Young Patriarch of the Yun Family." 

The Demon King's eyes were wide as he couldn't believe this situation! Could…they use this boy to arrange some sort of peace?

"...And your true son?"

"Should be with Xiao Family." Yun Qinghong said with a hopeful voice.

"This old man understands, we potentially have means to establish some sort of dialogue with the Supreme Cloud Sect. That is if this is the same Xiao Clan that you know."

"...Indeed. Father, why don't you tell me more about this Sect and I will tell you more about the Xiao Clan I know." The younger Yun suggested it to his father.

Sure enough, the pair proceeded to converse and connect the dots.

The more they talked about this, the more they realised that it was the same clan. The names of elders and some of the members are the same.

While many of them are missing, some of them are the same as Xiao Li and his children, then some other elders sure the times moved on and they became stronger and some of them are dead.

Regardless, they are certain that this is the same clan. But this is where it's terrifying, just how quickly they rose to prominence!?

~~~

While the Yun family were thinking of how to defend the continent the rest of the Guardian Families were panicking, The news of the invasion was out of nowhere and whatever plot was in the air was destroyed utterly.

In Duke Huai Palace, Duke Huai and Duke Ming were plotting their next move.

Their plan for takeover has to wait, as bigger things are in motion, and an invasion of this magnitude is forcing them to operate with the Little Demon Empress. 

Or is it?

"Father, why don't we join them? Why don't we give the Little Demon Empress to the invaders?" Duke Huai suggested that to his father. 

"...Possible, however, we have no idea about the personalities of these invaders. Same time we can't drop this idea either." A pale-looking man said with a thoughtful look. He needs more information on this.

For now, they can wait, they can wait and see what these invaders are and then they can act for their benefit.

"For now, we wait and watch, Huai."

"Understood, Father."
