Chapter 294: For My People, Eternal Prosperity Through the Ages!

"It must have widened, someone is coming through," someone observed.

Feng You, standing behind the War Princess, gazed at her profile, his eyes brimming with unspoken affection. But the War Princess, her face a mask of cool indifference, paid him no mind.

Then, with a violent flash, the portal shuddered!

Out stepped a towering figure, a man head and shoulders above Feng You. His arms alone were thicker than the War Princesss waist. Dressed in black and gold battle armor, his thick black hair resembled a lion\'s mane. His face bore animalistic features, emanating a fierce and commanding aura. A horn-like spike, wrapped in blood-red markings, adorned his forehead, adding to his intimidating presence.

Greetings to the Lion Duke," Feng You bowed, with the others following suit.

The War Princess merely raised an eyebrow, her chin tilted up as she regarded the man.

Stand up, the Lion Duke boomed. His beast-like eyes fixed on the War Princess. "We haven\'t seen each other in so long. Are you not going to greet your uncle?"

Why bother? You never tried to cozy up to me before, the War Princess retorted.

The Lion Duke pursed his lips, then chuckled. Fair enough. I underestimated you in the past. Im here to formally apologize. Honestly, Im happy for you.

Happy for what? If I hadnt unlocked the Nine-Tiered Bloodline, youd be next in line for my position, she scoffed.

The Lion Duke was taken aback by her forthrightness. His smile faded slightly as he replied seriously, Dont be absurd. The Nine-Tiered Bloodline is the hope of our races rise. Whats my position compared to that?

Sure, just keep your actions consistent with your words. Im not interested in playing games with you. Its pointless, the War Princess declared.

Alright. The Lion Duke nodded. But, your father sent me to tell you its dangerous here. He wants you to return.

Let him come and ask me himself, the War Princess challenged.

"..." The Lion Duke was left speechless. Once, the favoritism towards her sparked much criticism and dissatisfaction. But now, her audacity seemed boundless, and even he didn\'t dare to utter a word against it.

"Hah Big Brother is a madman for doting on his daughter. Now, it seems she\'s set her sights on the skies." The Lion Duke sighed inwardly. He finally spoke to the War Princess with gravity, "You can stay, but let me handle the matters of the Heavenly Land. Don\'t create a mess."

The War Princess just chuckled. The Lion Duke was at a loss with her.

Soon after, over 60 Fate Ocean Realm devils from the Endless Netherworld emerged from the portal.

"Greetings, War Princess!" They bowed respectfully, one by one.

The War Princess felt a wave of satisfaction seeing these once contemptuous devils now obediently at her feet.

"Once I sort out the Heavenly Land and return to the Endless Netherworld, there will be more tongues wagging... Wait for me!" She relished this feeling of turning the tables.

Yun Xiao gave her more than power; he was like a poison to her soul, and she was thoroughly addicted.

"Didn\'t you say Inscription Cultivators were coming?" the War Princess asked.

"They\'re here," the Lion Duke gestured towards the swirling portal.

"How many?" she asked, hand on her heart.

"According to the agreement, 30 Inscription Cultivators will be arriving. Including Fu Longxiang, it will be 31 people total," the Lion Duke replied.

"And the Calamity Seal Sword?"

"It will be brought in," the Lion Duke paused. "But don\'t worry, they\'re not after the Heavenly Land, but the Exiled Sword Immortals."

"You believe that?" she raised an eyebrow.

"It doesn\'t matter. We have the numbers," he said.

"Be wary of their hidden tactics."

"Of course," the Lion Duke glanced at her, surprised that the once reckless and tyrannical princess was now taking charge. "Don\'t worry, I deal with Inscription Cultivators every day."

As the Lion Duke spoke, a group of human Inscription Cultivators emerged from the portal, clad in robes inscribed with symbols. These robes, etched with sigils, provided strong defense and bore a mysterious, elegant allure.

These Inscription Cultivators had an aura distinct from Sword Cultivators, emanating a dark and enigmatic vibe. Their vortex-like eyes seemed to hide countless schemes and plots.

They carried an inherent pride in their bones, linked closely to the current dominance of the Calamity Seal Purgatory.

"War Princess?" Among the Inscription Cultivators, a young man in a colorful robe stood at the forefront. His eyes, a striking green like Qingzan\'s, were almond-shaped, and his thin lips curled into a slight smile. This was Fu Longxiang, the Talisman Prince, one of the top four prodigies in the Nine Hells and widely acknowledged as the strongest.

In the Calamity Seal Purgatory, he was hailed as the top genius of the Nine Hells, the future Talisman Emperor. It was only the recent emergence of the War Princess and two Exiled Sword Immortals that overshadowed his fame.

By rank, Fu Longxiang was on par with the War Princess.

This was his first encounter with the devil princess, and he was visibly taken aback by her allure. He had never seen such a captivating female from another race. Frankly speaking, her charm was enough to evoke a physical desire in any man at first glance.

This was normal, after all. Her every inch seemed designed to attract the opposite sex.

The Inscription Cultivators fell into a stunned silence, their hearts racing. Even the two old men beside Fu Longxiang couldn\'t help but give the breathtaking beauty a few extra glances.

The War Princess, however, merely glanced at Fu Longxiang and walked away without a word.

Fu Longxiang smiled wryly and turned to the Lion Duke, "The War Princess is indeed the most beautiful in the Nine Hells."

"Let\'s focus on the matter at hand," the Lion Duke replied sternly.

Fu Longxiang raised an eyebrow. He remembered that the devils disliked when humans praised their females. Female devils were highly sought after in the Nine Hells; some even dared to sneak into the Endless Netherworld to capture them as slaves. This was a grave offense in the Endless Netherworld.

"Heh, if the men aren\'t strong enough and the women are conquered, isn\'t that the fairest decree of the heavens? Yet it\'s taboo?" Fu Longxiang thought scornfully but remained solemn. "We just received news from the Sword Ruins. The portal there has been widened too, and several cultivators have entered, including the two Exiled Sword Immortals."

"So, what\'s the plan?"

Fu Longxiang smirked coolly. "If we join forces, we can exploit their discord and, with a little strategy, annihilate them all. Currently, neither side is aware of the presence of us Inscription Cultivators, or that you opened the portal with the Calamity Seal Sword. That\'s our advantage."

"Wow, how confident." The War Princess chuckled coldly from the side.

"You sure there are no traitors among your Inscription Cultivators?" the Lion Duke asked.

"You\'re missing the point," Fu Longxiang paused, "Thanks to my mother, we\'re in the loop about the Sword Ruins, while they remain clueless about us."

"Oh?" the Lion Duke laughed. "Your mother is truly remarkable."

"Fu Longxiang?" His eyes darkened.

"Don\'t get me wrong. In the Endless Netherworld, that phrase is purely complimentary." The Lion Duke grinned. But everyone knew this was his retort to Fu Longxiang\'s earlier praise of the War Princess.

The 30 Inscription Cultivators, though few in number, wore expressions of cold indifference upon hearing this.

"So, shall we hunt down these so-called Exiled Sword Immortals now?" Fu Longxiang volunteered.

"Absolutely. I look forward to witnessing the might of the Inscription Cultivators, the strongest fighting force of humanity. Sword Cultivators aren\'t even fit to carry your shoes." The Lion Duke chuckled again.

"When it comes to the strongest in the Nine Hells, it\'s naturally you devils!" Fu Longxiang complimented in return. But in his mind, he added, "Unfortunately, not you devils of the Endless Netherworld."

"Stay here. I\'ll be back shortly." Yun Xiao turned to the 75 Sword Cultivators.

"Should we follow, Exile Yun?" Mu Daxiong and Du Zhongyuan were about to join him.

"No need," Yun Xiao said.

"Are you sure?" They hesitated, as their orders were to protect him closely, and now Yun Xiao was leaving alone...

"Don\'t worry." With a smile, Yun Xiao flew off on his Sovereign Sword, vanishing in an instant.

"It\'s fine, this is Exile Yun\'s territory. He must have a plan," Mu Daxiong reassured the others.

In this realm, the Sword Cultivators came to realize just how absurd the rumors about him being a demon spawn were. Yun Xiao wasn\'t even from the Nine Hells. Yet, the depth of scrutiny into his fake ancestry showed that to smear someone, the truth was unnecessary; fabrication would do!

As long as there was a hint of scandal, there would be believers.

After leaving them, Yun Xiao stood on a lone peak, slipping a Bag of Holding into a crevice.

"The number one Demon Emperor of the Demon Continent is about to go on a rampage," he said with a smile, then vanished in a blink.

Soon, a silver fox darted through the night to this spot. It snatched the Bag of Holding and disappeared into the darkness.

Meanwhile, Yun Xiao soared through the sky on his Sovereign Sword, descending from above the Demon Continent.

Before him soon appeared a spherical worldthe Heavenly Realm. Looking down, although only five days had passed, the Heavenly Realm had regained its former prosperity.

A peaceful new world was being born. This beauty, born of a girl\'s belief, was something Yun Xiao would not allow anyone to destroy. Silently, he descended, transforming into a streak of sword light, drifting into an imperial palace in the dead of night.

There, in the flickering candlelight of the palace, stood Yun Xiao, clad in white, a solitary figure amidst the shadows.

Before him stood a golden dragon throne, empty and imposing. Yun Xiao stared at it, his mind filled with memories of the girl and their tender moments shared on this very throne.

"Lil Xi..." Yun Xiao whispered, a stone materializing in his hand. Gazing at the vacant palace, his heart mirrored its emptiness. "Where can I find you again?" he wondered, clutching the stone as if it held her warmth.

"No matter what, wait for me," he resolved, taking a deep breath. The scenes of their brief yet intense love replayed in his heart, the memory of that piercing sword thrust etched indelibly in his mind.

"You\'re back?" came a deep voice from behind.

Turning, Yun Xiao saw the Supreme Marshal entering with a jug of wine. "Have you found my daughter?" he inquired.

"It\'s only been a few days. You\'re less patient than I am," Yun Xiao replied.

"Useless," the Supreme Marshal scoffed, settling himself on the steps of the dragon throne. "Care for a drink?"

"I have something better." Yun Xiao joined him, producing a bottle of Golden Springs Wine from the Eternal Sword Prison. Its rich aroma filled the palace.

After three rounds of drinks, the Supreme Marshal asked, "What brings you back this time?"

Yun Xiao lay back on the ground, arms under his head, staring at the ceiling. "To fulfill her heart\'s desire completely, to remove the shadow over the Divine Continent\'s sky, and to secure eternal prosperity for our people," he said slowly.
