Chapter 421 - The Xujian Family Wants to Start a War with the Demon Lord?!
Demon Realm, Northern Domain
Xujian Family Residence
As the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons in the Northern Domain of the Demon Realm, the Xujian family's territory was extrely vast.
The Xujian family's residence alone was like an entire city, with countless courtyards and houses standing tall, and the figures of guards patrolling back and forth everywhere.
Under the night sky, a streak of divine light swiftly flashed across, landing like a teor at the main gate of the Xujian family residence.
Seeing the newcor, the guards outside the residence hurriedly bowed in greeting:
“Lord Xujian Jun!”
“Mhm...”
Xujian Jun gave a light hum in response, then suddenly sensed the solemn and quiet atmosphere within the residence, causing him to furrow his brows and ask the gatekeeper guards before him:
“What are the people inside doing?”
Normally when he returned, everyone in the residence would co out to welco him.
Yet now the residence was silent and noiseless; not a single person had co out to greet him.
“Th-this...”
“We also do not know.”
“We only heard other lords say that it seems a person of very extraordinary status is waiting for you...”
The guards' faces were full of confusion as they replied hesitantly.
It was also the first ti they had seen the lords of the various clans in the Northern Domain show such respect to soone other than Xujian Jun and the Lord Demon Lord.
Xujian Jun frowned and did not continue questioning, but instead strode directly into the residence.
Just as he entered the gate, the old butler of the residence hurriedly t him, his expression panicked and frantic.
“Lord Xujian Jun, you have finally returned...”
“What happened?”
“Why did you call back so urgently?”
Xujian Jun asked with knitted brows as he walked toward the interior of the residence.
For a mont, the old butler didn't know how to start explaining, and could only say:
“Lord Xujian Jun, you will know once you go to the main hall...”
“Soone is waiting for you...”
Hearing this, Xujian Jun’s expression beca increasingly confused.
Soone was waiting for him?
Who could it be that made his old butler so flustered...?
Crossing the courtyard, Xujian Jun quickly arrived at the main hall in the center of the residence.
The hall was beautiful and spacious, luxurious and magnificent, shaped like a palace.
Inside the hall, the representative figures of the various clans in the Northern Domain were all kneeling respectfully on the floor.
And on the high seat in the center of the hall, a handso man with long hair falling to his shoulders sat with his legs crossed, his arm resting on the chair’s armrest, propping up his cheek, his expression indifferent and elegant yet not lacking in arrogance.
Seeing this scene, Xujian Jun’s brows knitted even tighter, his expression greatly displeased.
That seat was one that only the head of the Xujian family could sit in!
Where did this guy get the qualification to dare sit in that position without permission!
He even made his vassals bow their heads to him!
As Xujian Jun strode into the hall, several ladies kneeling at the hall entrance imdiately greeted him:
“Lord Xujian Jun...”
Xujian Jun raised his hand to interrupt the ladies' words, walked past everyone, stood before the man, and said coldly:
“Before I act to kill you, I will give you one opportunity to speak—tell who you are.”
Hearing these words, the man sitting in the high seat couldn't help but reveal a light smile; not only was he not angered in the slightest, but he instead spoke words of praise:
“Not bad, not bad~”
“Although your strength does not et This Lord's satisfaction, at least my Xujian family has not lost the pride of the King of the Northern Domain.”
“My Xujian family...”
“Who exactly are you...?”
Hearing the man claim to be from the Xujian family, Xujian Jun’s cold expression turned to confusion.
In his mory, he had never seen this person in the Xujian family!
The man slowly stood up from the high seat, his hands behind his back, and gently shook his head, giving a faint self-introduction:
“To think that the juniors of the Xujian family nowadays don't even recognize This Lord anymore.”
“Listen well; This Lord's na is Xujian Kongling.”
“Xujian Kongling...?!”
Hearing this na, Xujian Jun’s expression instantly turned to one of great shock.
This, this na...!
“You, you are...!”
Xujian Jun looked up at the man before him in disbelief.
Without waiting for Xujian Jun to speak, Xujian Kongling smiled and proactively stated his identity.
“This Lord is the first-generation head of the Xujian family.”
“The Xujian family was founded by This Lord's own hands.”
“Of course, This Lord has another identity—the second-generation Demon Lord of the Demon Realm!”
Hearing this, Xujian Jun’s eyes widened, and the shock in his heart could not be cald for a long ti.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the first-generation head of the Xujian family was born in the Northern Domain of the Demon Realm; in that era of chaotic strife where people died at every mont, he beca famous throughout the Northern Domain by relying on his unique abilities!
In the end, he killed until the ten thousand demons of the Northern Domain surrendered, establishing today's Xujian family!
Afterward, using the Northern Domain as his base, he led the ten thousand demons of the Northern Domain to flatten the entire Demon Realm, becoming the second-generation Demon Lord of the Demon Realm!
Ultimately, his cultivation broke through the Transcendent Immortal Realm, and he chose to ascend to the Divine Realm and leave the Demon Realm, never returning since then.
After hundreds of thousands of years, suddenly seeing the original head of the Xujian family return, Xujian Jun was so shocked he didn't know how to speak.
“What, seeing This Lord return, won't you offer a greeting?”
“Xujian Jun greets Ancestor Kongling!”
Xujian Jun recovered from his shock and hurriedly knelt on one knee to greet him.
“Mhm, very good~”
Xujian Kongling nodded with satisfaction and slowly walked down the steps to Xujian Jun’s side.
“This Lord has returned after hundreds of thousands of years; I didn't expect the Xujian family to still be as strong and prosperous as before. Very good!”
Unlike Mo Di, Xujian Kongling did not rush to Evernight Sovereign City to find Ning Yechen upon returning to the Demon Realm, but first returned to the Northern Domain to see if the forr Xujian family still existed.
To his surprise, the Xujian family was still the overlord of the Demon Realm’s Northern Domain.
This made him feel very surprised and delighted.
In this way, this trip to the Demon Realm will beco even more interesting.
It saved him the ti of reunifying the Northern Domain.
“Ancestor Kongling, this junior always rembers the past brilliance and glory of the Xujian family!”
“With here, I will never let the Xujian family fall into decline!”
Xujian Jun replied solemnly while kneeling on the ground.
In fact, after Xujian Kongling left the Demon Realm, the Xujian family began to fall into decline, and the Demon Realm also experienced cycle after cycle of the succession of various Demon Lords amidst the flas of war and strife.
It was he who, step by step like the Xujian Kongling of old, conquered the various clans of the Northern Domain with powerful strength.
Only then was the Xujian family able to revitalize and reunite the Northern Domain of the Demon Realm, becoming the Lord of the Northern Domain.
“Mhm! This is the spirit that a mber of my Xujian family should have!”
Xujian Kongling patted Xujian Jun’s shoulder solemnly, then his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he spoke words that made everyone present tremble:
“Since This Lord has returned this ti, I might as well complete one more thing along the way~!”
“Let the Xujian family return once more to the brilliance it had when This Lord was here!”
“The position of Demon Lord should still be held by a mber of my Xujian family!”
Hearing this, everyone kneeling present was shocked and hurriedly looked up at the proud and confident Xujian Kongling.
Looking at him, he didn't seem to be joking...!
He returned this ti to reclaim the position of Demon Lord for the Xujian family?!
Doesn't that an...
The Xujian family wants to start a war with the Demon Lord?!
