Chapter 1765 - 825: Old Man, I’ll Make You Cut Off Your Lineage

Chapter 1765: Chapter 825: Old Man, I’ll Make You Cut Off Your Lineage

Little Jiu Nian wielded the Heavenly Sword Hemp, its cold light spilling out and shimmering with an eerie blue, clearly a poisoned blade.

Yet he faced the oppression of the Demon King Yan Li’s presence, showing no fear, his little face full of determination.

Yan Li was so angry that his beard and eyebrows were about to knot together.

The demon soldiers and generals were also tense, surrounding the group, yet dared not make a move.

"You little rascal! Do you think that broken sword can harm me!"

Yan Li roared angrily, his pressure suddenly intensifying, causing Little Jiu Nian to feel a surge of demonic power preventing him from thrusting his poisoned sword forward.

With a concentrated gaze, he made an astonishing move, suddenly flipping the sword in the opposite direction, pointing it at his own throat.

"I can’t kill you, but I can take my own life, and you better believe if I die, the Yan Family will be left with no descendants."

As soon as Little Jiu Nian spoke, Yan Li was stunned.

"Darling, darling, be careful, it’s okay if you hurt that old ghost, just don’t hurt yourself."

Princess Minqing was terrified, her heart in her throat, and with a trembling voice, she shouted, wishing she could rush up and give Yan Li a sword in place of her grandson to vent his anger.

Demon King Yan Li nearly coughed up blood upon hearing this.

His lady’s heart was too biased, typically favoring the grandson over her own husband.

Yan Li took another look at Little Jiu Nian’s stubborn expression, recalling years ago when Di Shen had just fallen, Yan Jiu insisted on leaving the Yan Clan to search for Di Shen.

Back then, Yan Li also disagreed.

Yan Jiu simply said that until he found Di Shen, he wouldn’t return to the Yan Clan.

His then resoluteness echoed with Little Jiu Nian’s current expression, making it undeniable that they are father and son.

The standoff persisted, neither side daring to make a reckless move.

It was then that Ye Lingyue spoke calmly.

"Demon King Yan Li, blades are blind; harming anyone isn’t good. How about we each take a step back, I’ll have Little Jiu Nian put down the sword and you have your people retreat."

Yan Li pondered for a moment, and after receiving a murderous glance from his wife, he reluctantly softened.

"Everyone, fall back."

The demon soldiers and generals quickly withdrew.

Ye Lingyue nodded at Little Jiu Nian, and only then did he lower the sword.

"My precious grandson, you almost scared Grandma to death."

Princess Minqing rushed over, tightly hugging Little Jiu Nian, reluctant to let go.

"Humph! Overindulgent mothers spoil children; one after another, you’ve spoiled them."

Yan Li looked at Little Jiu Nian, feeling itchy inside, wanting to hug his grandson too, yet alas his dignity wouldn’t allow it, so he kept a long old face as if owed a great debt, but occasionally peeked at Little Jiu Nian from the corner of his eye.

Regrettably, Little Jiu Nian paid Yan Li no mind.

Little Jiu Nian was still sour from being chased away by Yan Li earlier, a grievance enough to fume over for some time.

Ye Lingyue coughed a few times, prompting Yan Li to return to reality, aware that there were outsiders in the tent.

Moreover, these outsiders belonged to the Beiyu Palace lineage.

He snorted coldly.

"You all have some nerve, aware Beiyu Palace and South Nether City are at war, yet dare to walk into the trap. Considering you’ve brought this king’s grandson back, I won’t hold it against you. But if you’re thinking of entering Qianyu City, I’d advise you to abandon the thought."

Yan Li had already guessed Ye Lingyue’s intentions.

This path leads to Qianyu City, evidently, Chi Chi has brought reinforcements to rescue her mother.

But just a handful of little cats, what climate can they create.

Rather than letting them go to their deaths, it’s better to keep them away from trouble.

"Demon King’s kindness is acknowledged, but Qianyu City, we must go."

Ye Lingyue shook her head.

"Not knowing what’s good for you; even if this king lets you go to Qianyu City, do you think you can help Empress Dowager Chi resolve this crisis? Given the current situation, unless Chi Ye appears, Beiyu Palace will surely fall!"

Yan Li’s mind was clear.

"Beiyu Palace will not fall, Mother will definitely find a way, and Chi Ye brother will definitely come back."

Chi Chi clenched her fists, nearly shouting to the point of breaking her voice.

"Old ghost, how can you say such things!"

Princess Minqing saw Chi Chi’s eyes reddening, feeling deeply for her, quickly pulling the little ones close to comfort them softly.

She could see, the bond between Chi Chi and Little Jiu Nian was extraordinary.

These two little ones, pink and adorable, are like a matched couple, and if the old ghost breaks them up, making her lose a future granddaughter-in-law, she’d go home marking his face with claw marks.

"Get lost, womenfolk, men are talking, why are you butting in?"

Yan Li’s neck flushed with red stripes.

"What’s wrong with womenfolk, you tens of thousands of men, have been at it for months yet can’t handle Empress Dowager Chi, isn’t that shameful. And now it’s good, the kids want to find their mom, and you won’t let them, are you still a man? How did I ever see you as appealing?"

Princess Minqing voiced various grievances.

"Nothing you say matters, anyway, I won’t let you go."

Yan Li glared and puffed out his mustache, even if his grandson hated him for a lifetime, he wouldn’t let them go to their deaths.

"Demon King Yan Li, if I can ensure Qianyu City is fine, and Little Jiu Nian unharmed, not only that, I will also find a way to rescue brother Yan Jiu, would you consider changing your mind?"

Ye Lingyue could also see, Yan Li was hard on the outside but soft inside.

These days, although the Yan Division Army guarded one side, Yan Li turned a blind eye to passing refugees, even secretly ordering some Beiyu Palace refugees to be sheltered by the Yan Clan.

Back when Yan Li and his wife raised Di Shen, it shows this couple is a rare breed in the Demon Clan, warm-hearted despite appearing cold.

"Just you?"

Yan Li listened with a stirred heart, taking another look at Ye Lingyue, realizing she had no demonic power fluctuation, she belonged to the Human Clan!

Moreover, this Human Clan member’s cultivation wasn’t much, at best a small Divine Power Realm.

Zhan Hen’s subordinates, not to mention the demon general’s multitude, just the War Wolf Army’s combat prowess was rather formidable.

This lady plans to retreat unharmed in such conditions, it would be an absolute pipe dream.

"Don’t you dare underestimate my godmother, she’s incredible. Earlier when father nearly died, it was thanks to godmother that he was saved."

Little Jiu Nian, hearing this, got unhappy, wriggling out from Princess Minqing’s embrace, arguing rationally.

"What? Divine Hidden Fire was taken by you?"

Yan Li couldn’t help but look Ye Lingyue over once more.

Yan Jiu was trapped and suffered terribly, as a father, it’s impossible not to care, but regarding the South Nether Ancient Clan’s Mutant Fire, Yan Li was equally powerless, unexpected that an ordinary Human Clan could handle what he couldn’t?
