Chapter 1737: Chapter 797: Master Zi’s Iaido Rescue

The body of the Demon General, with the strength of a thousand pounds, pressed down, unleashing a terrifying wave of demonic power.

If it really comes down, Little Jiu Nian simply cannot resist.

But just at this moment, a figure like a Thunderflash suddenly sped over.

A black cloud quickly moved in; suddenly, a sharp, long cry was heard, and Little Jiu Nian and Chi Chi felt a whirlwind rising from the ground, blowing them askew, forcing them to crawl on the ground to avoid being swept away.

Little Jiu Nian squinted his eyes unconsciously.

Just then, from the sky, a giant eagle was seen soaring in flight.

The eagle was magnificent, with iron claws and golden hooks, diving down from the heights.

Its sharp beak aimed at the thick armor of the Pangolin Demon General, pecking viciously, causing the demon general’s skin to split open, accompanied by continuous cries as blood fell like raindrops.

The giant eagle’s talons pierced the back of the Pangolin Demon General, and the body of the demon general, weighing several hundred pounds, was directly lifted into the air.

Before long, the Pangolin Demon General vanished without a trace, and the fierce battle dissipated like smoke.

The giant eagle came as swiftly as it left, and if not for the remaining demon general’s corpse and pool of blood on the ground, Little Jiu Nian and Chi Chi would surely have thought everything that just happened was an illusion.

"Little Jiu Nian, there’s a person there, could this person be a pursuer too?"

Chi Chi and Little Jiu Nian helped each other stand up.

They then noticed a man standing not far away.

"No, he’s definitely not a demon."

Little Jiu Nian decisively shook his head.

In the moonlit night, the man’s appearance seemed to glow, so much so that no beautiful words could do justice to his looks.

In this world, how could there be such a handsome demon?

The two little ones stared, slack-jawed, forgetting even when the man disappeared.

Zitang Su looked calmly at the two little ones; in his eyes, the two injured ones were no different than two stones.

Even before the Demon General chased Little Jiu Nian and Chi Chi to the entrance of the Demon World, Zitang Su had witnessed the fierce battle unfold.

Normally, upon seeing such a scene of the strong bullying the weak, people would step in to help.

However, Zitang Su was not an ordinary person; he had no intention of helping.

Until the stomach of the Three Realms Eagle growled twice.

"Hungry?"

Zitang Su lifted his eyelids, pointing at the Pangolin Demon General.

"Here, your favorite."

With his master’s permission, the Three Realms Eagle dashed off to hunt.

In the Ancient Nine Provinces, the Three Realms Eagle had never eaten to its heart’s content, given the Alliance Contract between the Ancient Nine Provinces and the Demon Clan, it was always cautious in the region.

Since its master had spoken, eating a few demon beasts would be fine; thus the unlucky Pangolin Demon General became the Three Realms Eagle’s meal.

Once Zitang Su disappeared, Chi Chi and Little Jiu Nian came back to their senses.

"My gosh, that man was so handsome; compared to him, my brother is utterly ugly!"

Chi Chi’s eyes glittered brightly.

(At a distant Jiu Provinces Main Camp, a certain White Tiger sneezed hard)

"Enough of that, let’s find a way out of here; finding my godmother and Demon Emperor Chi Ye is what’s most important."

Little Jiu Nian also regained his senses; having barely shrugged off the pursuers from the Demon World, they needed to quickly confirm the location of the Jiu Provinces Main Camp.

Yet, just as the two little ones prepared to search for the camp’s whereabouts, they heard footsteps and saw thousands of demon soldiers rushing out.

They were immediately surrounded.

"Jiu Nian, are we going to die?"

Chi Chi and Little Jiu Nian looked tense; the two were already "out of ammunition and supplies," and faced with so many demon soldiers, they could only resign themselves to capture.

"To report to the Demon King, it’s two little ones, among them there’s a little ghost from the Human Clan, wouldn’t even fill the gaps in our teeth."

A demon general saw Little Jiu Nian and Chi Chi, looking disappointed.

"Eat, eat; all you know is eating. How often have I told you, Lord Ling Yue forbids us from eating humans, we must correct our ways!"

A loud reprimanding voice came, and the Golden Horn Demon King stepped out, giving the demon general a sharp knock on the head.

The demon general immediately slumped.

Recently, the Golden Horn Demon King had just sorted out the large and small tribes in the Central Plains, receiving orders from Di Shen to enforce martial law around the Demon World entrance.

The Golden Horn Demon King was also wary of the South Nether Emperor dispatching troops, placing many secret sentries around the entrance.

That night there was a disturbance at the entrance, the Golden Horn Demon King quickly led troops over, expecting to catch some demon generals, unaware that they would encounter two little ones.

The Golden Horn Demon King inspected them; they didn’t seem like spies, he was puzzled over how to handle them.

Among them, the little boy boldly asked.

"Mister, did you mention Lord Ling Yue earlier? Do you know Ye Lingyue? She’s my godmother!"

Little Jiu Nian didn’t know if the demons before him were good or bad, all he knew was if there was even a shred of hope, he must grasp it.

The Golden Horn Demon King took a closer look at Little Jiu Nian.

Now that he thought of it, there was a slight remembrance.

Earlier when entering the Demon World, Lord Ling Yue did mention her godson was taken to the Demon World.

Could it be this little one in front of him?

"Are you truly Lord Ling Yue’s godson? Someone, take these two to the Golden Horn Tribe."

The Golden Horn Demon King waved his hand, taking Little Jiu Nian and Chi Chi back to the Golden Horn Tribe, sending a secret message to the Jiu Provinces Main Camp that very night.

However, at that time Ye Lingyue was still comprehending the Heavenly Gifted Divine Skill, thus she hadn’t immediately replied.

It wasn’t until ten days later, when Ye Lingyue finished her seclusion, that she received the Golden Horn Demon King’s letter.

Learning that Little Jiu Nian was at the Tongtian Tribe, Ye Lingyue almost immediately set off with Di Shen for the Tongtian Tribe.

In the Tongtian Tribe, Little Jiu Nian and Chi Chi had already waited bitterly for over ten days.

During those days, Chi Chi also asked the Golden Horn Demon King about the Demon Emperor Chi Ye, but unfortunately, the Golden Horn Demon King knew nothing.

Not knowing Ye Lingyue was in seclusion, the two little ones grew increasingly anxious.

Especially Chi Chi, she was worried about big brother Chi Ye’s safety on one hand, while also concerned for Empress Dowager Chi in Beiyu Palace on the other.

"Chi Chi, why hasn’t your godmother shown up yet? If she doesn’t appear soon, I’m going to find my big brother myself tomorrow."

Chi Chi was growing impatient.

She had lived so long, but never as tormentingly as recent days.

During their time at the Tongtian Tribe, although the Golden Horn Demon King had treated them graciously, Chi Chi had nightmares every night.

Sometimes she dreamed Beiyu Palace fell to the South Nether Emperor’s troops, with her mother being slain, other times, of her big brother’s tragic end.

"Chi Chi, you don’t need to worry, godmother will be here soon."

Little Jiu Nian’s words had barely fallen when a demon soldier requested an audience.

"Gentlemen, Lord Ling Yue is here, the Demon King requests you to meet in the main tent."
