Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 145 The Demon Emperor's Thoughts: Eliminating the Uncooperative Demon Gods?

"Come in!" Feng Xiu said coldly.

A member of the Imperial Guard knelt on one knee, respectfully presented the intelligence, and then quickly withdrew from the hall.

Feng Xiu unfolded the letter, and her pupils suddenly contracted as her gaze swept over it.

"Summon the Moon Demon God and the Star Demon God to an audience immediately!" The majestic voice echoed throughout the Demon Heart Palace.

Half an hour later.

The moon demon Agares and the star demon Vasak entered the hall side by side.

"Brother, what's the matter that's so urgent?" Vasak spoke first.

Feng Xiu raised her hand and waved the letter, which flew through the air to Agares's front: "Read it yourselves."

Agares took the letter, his amethyst-like eyes quickly scanning it.

Although the content was brief, the most crucial line made his pupils shrink sharply:
"The one who slew the twelfth demon god, Sid, was a powerful human who wielded purple-gold lightning."

In the thousands of years, there has only been one human in this world who can control the purple-gold lightning!
It was his son, Moonbeam!
"This is impossible."

Agares' voice trembled slightly, and a hint of panic flashed in his amethyst eyes.
"Ahui only broke through to the eighth rank three years ago, how is that possible?"

His fingers unconsciously clenched the letter.

As the twelfth pillar of demons, Sid is a top-tier existence among demons.

Even for the renowned Demon Hunters of the Fallen Gods, besieging and annihilating Sidi would be no easy task.

"Keep reading." Feng Xiu's voice was calm but carried a hint of deeper meaning.

Agares composed himself and turned his gaze back to the letter.

His pupils contracted again when he saw the description that "Astaroth fell at the hands of his companion, a powerful being of the Purple-Gold Thunder."

In particular, I saw records of the iconic weapons "Aria of Light" and "Scythe of Death".

One is the weapon of the God of Light Sword, and the other is the weapon that severely injured the previous Demon God Emperor, the Holy Son of Reincarnation!

These unique weapon features finally convinced Agares that the mysterious powerhouse who had slain seven demon gods in the Exorcism Pass was none other than the demon-hunting team led by his son!

"Brother, Ah Hui... he might have some unavoidable difficulties."

Agares looked up eagerly, only to be surprised to see a faint smile appear on Feng Xiu's lips.

"Second brother, what are you doing?" Feng Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly. "When did I say I would blame Yuehui?"

Agares was speechless for a moment, staring at Fengxiu with astonishment in his purple eyes.

"What does Big Brother mean?" Vasak stroked his chin thoughtfully, "that Second Brother's son is about to be promoted to a titled Demon Hunter?"

Feng Xiu nodded slightly: "If the information is correct, according to human rules, the Demon Hunter Team needs to kill three ninth-tier demon gods in order to be promoted to the title level."

He lightly tapped the armrest of the throne with his fingertip. "Moonlight's team has killed Siddi, Astaroth, and Cain in the Exorcism Pass, which has fulfilled the conditions."

"The status of titled demon hunter groups among humans," Vasak pondered.

“It can be described as transcendent.” A glint of light flashed in Feng Xiu’s eyes. “His status is even above that of the six temple masters, and he even has the power to impeach the temple masters.”

Vasak suddenly looked up: "So Moonbeam has already completed half of its goal?"

Agares then realized what was going on.

(No wonder His Majesty was not angry when he heard that Moonbeam had killed Siddi, but instead smiled.)

But he quickly realized: "Brother, since the powerful figures who appeared at the Exorcism Pass were Ah Hui and his group, doesn't that mean humanity's true strength has not yet been unleashed?"

Feng Xiu nodded slightly, a sharp glint in her eyes: "That's right. It seems we need to change our strategy."

Upon hearing this, Agares and Vasak both tensed up, their gazes turning solemn as they looked at the Demon Emperor on the throne.

"The sudden fall of two demon gods at Yulong Pass is most likely related to Moonshine's demon-hunting team."

Fengxiu tapped the armrest of the throne with his fingers. "Second brother, try to make contact with Moonshine and find out two things: the whereabouts of Austin Griffin, and the hidden secrets of humanity!" "I will do my best."

Agares agreed in a deep voice, but his heart was filled with complex emotions.

He chose Yuehui as his successor, but he never expected his son to grow up so quickly.

Now that he can kill a level 4, ninth-tier Xidi, what will happen in a few years?

It is important to know that the position of Demon God can only be inherited upon the death of the previous one.

(What would you do...Ahui?)

Feng Xiu suddenly asked, "Where is the Seventh Demon God now?"

Agares and Vasak were both stunned, looking at each other in bewilderment.

The name Ananda, the Seventh Demon God, was completely unfamiliar to them.

That guy always goes his own way, has an eccentric personality, and might not show his face even once in a hundred years. Every time he appears, he's either challenging this person or provoking that person, making all the demon gods avoid him like the plague.

"He seems to be wandering around the vicinity of Yulong Pass?" Vasak asked hesitantly. "It's said he's been looking for a worthy opponent."

A cold glint flashed in Feng Xiu's eyes: "Pass on my order, have him go to Yulong Pass immediately and bring back Yuehui, the one who killed Xidi!"

Upon hearing this, the two demon gods were initially puzzled, but then suddenly realized—

Brother, you're using someone else to do your dirty work!
“Let me just say it’s a congratulatory gift from me, the uncle, to my nephew who is about to be promoted to a title level,” Feng Xiu said, gently stroking the armrest of the throne.

……

On the city wall of Yulong Pass.

"The leader is back!"

Just as Han Yu was escorting everyone into the city, he turned around and saw a streak of purple-gold light streak across the sky, rushing toward Yulong Pass. He couldn't help but shout loudly.

The defending knights made way, and Moonbeam flew into the pass without hindrance, landing steadily on the city wall.

After the possession was dispelled, Lei Qilin reappeared and affectionately nuzzled its master's shoulder.

"Thank you all for saving my life!"

The knights who were rescued from the dungeon knelt down in unison on one knee, offering the highest level of knightly salute to Moonbeam and the others.

The captured civilians wept uncontrollably, kowtowing repeatedly in gratitude.

They had already given up hope, thinking they would never be able to return to human territory in this lifetime, but unexpectedly, a demon-hunting team ventured deep into the enemy camp.

Although they knew they were only rescued incidentally, this kindness was something they would remember for the rest of their lives.

"I appreciate your kind gesture." Moonlight nodded slightly. "Please get up. The Knights' Temple will conduct health checks for everyone shortly, so don't be nervous. It's a routine procedure. I believe you'll be reunited with your families soon."

After saying that, he gave Chen Ying'er and the others a wink.

The crowd understood and immediately helped Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi leave the city wall.

Turning a secluded corner, Cai'er's fingertips glowed with a faint light, and her spiritual energy enveloped everyone like a thin mist, erasing all traces of their presence.

They skillfully removed their disguises, circled the city several times, and finally returned to their temporary base.

"Phew—finally safe." Lu Xi slumped onto the sofa and let out a long sigh of relief. "This trip was even more tiring than slaying seven demons in the Exorcism Pass."

Surprisingly, Chen Ying'er, who would usually retort to him, didn't react at all.

Lu Xi turned her head in confusion, only to see—

Chen Ying'er nestled in Yang Wenzhao's arms, her usually fiery face now showing a rare gentle smile.

"Tsk," Lu Xi's lips twitched as she turned her face away. "This dog food is really hard to swallow!"
