Chapter 2154: Chapter 2139: Anger Control (Second Update)

In the sky, a six-winged beast flies steadily at a constant speed high above.

On that massive body, densely packed, stand over a thousand of the Seventh Prince Cong Yun’s Crown Prince’s Guards. Around the winged beast, orderly Demon Clan legions are escorting on both flanks.

The winged beast is a branch of the winged demons of the Demon Clan.

Some winged demons of the Demon Clan are born with low innate spirit wisdom, behaving like beasts. However, their abilities can be enhanced by continuously consuming flesh and blood, reaching up to the peak of the Ninth Stage of the Realm King Realm.

Thus, these winged beasts with astonishing flying speeds have become the mounts of prestigious figures within the Demon Clan.

At the center of the beast’s back, there is a hundred-meter-wide couch flickering with spirit light. The Seventh Prince Cong Yun sits disheveled at the center of the couch, his eyes half-closed.

The battle more than a year ago in the Demon Soul Realm is regarded by the Seventh Prince Cong Yun as his life’s shame.

Since his emergence, he had never been so embarrassed, never suffered such pain, and never lost face so completely.

Though he uttered harsh words, after his return, the image of his embarrassing day still spread out.

For a while, it made him a laughingstock among his brothers.

It even slightly affected his reputation and had a mild impact on his pursuit of the throne of the Demon Emperor.

This made the Seventh Prince Cong Yun utterly furious, eager to tear Ye Zhen limb from limb.

In the Demon Soul Realm, Ye Zhen had a Realm-Control Spirit Treasure which could use the power of Heaven and Earth Laws of the Demon Soul Realm against him. However, on the Primordial Continent, such a possibility does not exist.

Throughout ancient times, no one has ever possessed a Realm-Control Spirit Treasure of the Primordial Continent.

Therefore, when the Seventh Prince Cong Yun learned that Ye Zhen was actually at the Blood River Fortress, he became impatient.

Eager to capture Ye Zhen alive, and then use all kinds of vicious methods to torment Ye Zhen, to relieve his hatred and wash away his humiliation with Ye Zhen’s head.

Moreover, since Ye Zhen has the Realm-Control Spirit Treasure of the Demon Soul Realm, if he could seize it from Ye Zhen, the Demon Soul Realm, created by the Ancient Demon God, would provide him with countless benefits, granting him greater influence in the struggle for the throne of the Demon Emperor.

Thus, the Seventh Prince Cong Yun hurried all the way.

Apart from being in a hurry, on this journey the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun has already thought of at least eight hundred ways to torture Ye Zhen, making him unable to live or die.

Then, reaping enormous benefits, he moves a step closer to the throne of the Demon Emperor.

On this journey, the Seventh Prince Cong Yun has been anticipating, eagerly looking forward to reaching there quickly and achieving all of this swiftly.

As for the possibility of achieving all this?

The Seventh Prince Cong Yun never doubted.

He personally commands an army of a million, including two hundred thousand elite Crown Prince’s Guard, has forty thousand elite troops under the command of the Marching Chief. How could they not handle a mere Earl’s army of twenty-some thousand?

This matter, this outcome, has no suspense!

Never ever!

"How much longer?" The Seventh Prince Cong Yun, slightly unable to suppress himself due to the prolonged anticipation, actively inquired.

"Replying to Your Highness, at most two hours, the army will rendezvous with the vanguard army. At most three hours later, we will be at the gates of the Blood River Fortress," the Right Commander of the Crown Prince’s Guard, Jii Qi, replied in a low voice.

Jii Qi is from the Royal Family of the Three-eyed Demon Clan. His noble bloodline and Mid Dao Realm cultivation, and strength far surpassing the ordinary Dao Realm, allowed him to become the Right Commander of the Crown Prince’s Guard of the Seventh Prince Cong Yun, and also a trusted aide among Cong Yun’s confidants.

"Your Highness, an urgent report from the vanguard army!" With a swish, an Eight-winged Demon appeared out of thin air before the Seventh Prince Cong Yun.

This is one of the fierce generals under the command of the Marching Chief Jii Wuxin, Yii Si, and currently serves as the Corps Leader of the forty thousand-strong army following the Seventh Prince Cong Yun to battle.

"An urgent report?"

The Seventh Prince Cong Yun’s gaze slightly moved, slowly accepting the bone slip stamped with a seal.

"What do you all think, is this urgent report a good or a bad thing?" the Seventh Prince Cong Yun suddenly asked.

The Right Commander of the Crown Prince’s Guard Jii Qi and Corps Leader Yii Si exchanged a glance and smiled at each other, "It should be good news. The vanguard army, with forty thousand troops, might find capturing the Blood River Fortress a bit challenging, but taking down one or two fortresses is no problem."

"If that’s the case, then the vanguard army’s Corps Leader Yue Dai may prove to be useful."

Smiling, the Seventh Prince Cong Yun immersed his divine sense into the bone slip in his hand, and at that moment, the smile on the Seventh Prince Cong Yun’s face vanished.

Suddenly sitting up from the couch, he roared angrily, "Useless waste!"

"Ambushed three times, useless waste!"

Amidst the furious roars, black light shot out from the single eye on the Seventh Prince Cong Yun’s forehead and, with the spread of black ripples, the couch instantly turned to ash.

The innermost circle of Dao Realm and ninth-stage Realm King guards all groaned and retreated.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, calm down!"

Jii Qi and Yii Si spoke simultaneously, their expressions becoming grim.

Though the Seventh Prince is typically composed, the sudden outburst of anger must signify a major event.

"Your Highness, what has happened?"

"See for yourself!"

In his extreme anger, within a kilometer radius around the Seventh Prince Cong Yun, the air seemed ready to freeze, and the beast below him let out a terrified wail.

Receiving the jade scroll and taking a look, Jii Qi and Yii Si both widened their eyes in shock.

"This... this..." The Right Commander of the Crown Prince’s Guard Jii Qi was so startled he couldn’t speak.

And Yii Si, commanding forty thousand elite troops under Jii Wuxin, wore a somber expression, pausing before finally speaking.

"Killed seventeen thousand four hundred, with over ten thousand lightly or heavily wounded, a loss of six Dao Realm soldiers... In just these short two hours, the vanguard army’s forces have halved, their combat power over half lost, this Yue Dai... damn it!" Yii Si’s voice was ice-cold, but his eyes showed more shock.

For this battle record was too shocking, too unbelievable.

Because their enemies numbered only sixty thousand!

The enemy’s military judge on Ye Zhen’s side counted over sixteen thousand and one hundred killed, which is thirteen thousand fewer than the losses Yue Dai reported.

The discrepancy in the battle report is primarily due to Ye Zhen’s bone-attached poison flame being overly tyrannical, causing many Demon Clan soldiers to succumb despite surviving initially.

"Yue Dai dared disrupt this Prince’s significant affairs!" The Seventh Prince Cong Yun ground his teeth audibly in rage, evident of his extreme anger.

"Your Highness, please calm your anger!"

An aged voice sounded behind the Seventh Prince Cong Yun, "Your Highness, do not haste to assumptions. Arrive at the vanguard army and ascertain the truth before forming judgments.

Six thousand ambushing forty thousand, claiming over seventeen thousand lives, there must be more to this."

Upon this person’s appearance, even the Seventh Prince Cong Yun, dared not show princely arrogance, immediately offered a respectful greeting.

"Greetings, Prophet Demon Master!"

Simultaneously, Jii Qi and Yii Si made their salutations.

The Prophet Demon Master holds an elevated status within the Demon Clan, their status even surpassing the Great Sun Priest of the Ancestor God Temple.

The one before them is Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong, tasked with instructing the Seventh Prince Cong Yun.

"Your Highness, concerning national military affairs, always remember to control your anger!"

"Control anger?"

The Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong, sparing words, nodded upon seeing the Seventh Prince Cong Yun’s slow nods, and quietly stepped aside.

Taking a deep breath, the anger gradually faded from the Seventh Prince Cong Yun’s face, "Relay the order, maintain march speed, each army heighten vigilance, scouts extend five thousand miles, proceed directly to the vanguard army camp!"

"Yes, we will comply with Your Highness’s military orders!"

Two hours later, the Seventh Prince Cong Yun’s winged beast descended into the vanguard army camp, and the first sight to greet him was a message made with headless corpses and blood!
