Chapter 1721: Heavenly Flame Monarch (1)

Chapter 1721 "Heavenly Flame Monarch (1)"

First Elder took a minute to react to that order since it came out of nowhere: "Is there a reason for this Your Majesty?"

".... State Teacher will be reincarnated in the human world." That said, Di Cang's lips ticked upwards into a cool smirk.

Getting silent for a good while longer, the old senior hesitated to speak: "That.... normally it's difficult to predict where one's soul is reborn. Majesty, how are you able to conclude State Teacher will be in the human world and not elsewhere?"

"That you need not concern yourself, I have my means to send his next incarnation over there. You only need to make sure to locate his new self. Besides, Xiao Wan already gave the guy her own internal pearl, it's nearly impossible to not notice his signature when it comes. His talent will be so grand that anyone would take notice!"

"I see." Though he says that, First Elder's mouth was openly twitching.

So that's why the king is not around for the past days, he's been busy handling the matter with State Teacher's death. His Majesty is always like this, hard and cold on the surface but kind and persistent on the inside. I'm sure the princess will be pleased once she hears of this news.

However, once the thought of the kind and gentle State Teacher not being around anymore brought the mood back down again in the elder's eye. He couldn't deny the recent period has been dark and grim.

"Enough of that, did you find out who killed State Teacher yet? Do you know their origin?" Di Cang asks with a storm brewing in his iris.

The world always say demons are cruel and ruthless, but in reality, the love they held are only for their kind and those around themselves.

"I've asked the princess some more questions and all I got was that they are not from this place. Apparently, the only way they managed to come was through using that fox as a medium. Going by that trail, I can safely assume it's not the Celestial Realm who attacked us."

That's a given. Without the Celestial Palace to act as a threat, there are none capable of openly attacking the Demon Realm anymore. In that case, there's only one possibility...

"The Outer Domains!" Di Cang roars once the answer hit him, that voice murderous: "Those people are from the Outer Domains!"

Unlike the Celestial Realm where the most powerful cultivators are usually around the Demi Divine Lord level, the Outer Domains are where the absolute strongest resided. It's not that this world couldn't produce powerful beings like a Divine Lord or True Celestial, rather those who had reached this stage are already capable of breaking through the fabrics of reality, or in the case of a True Celestial, they could in fact create their own space within the void and form a whole new world!

"Yes Your Majesty, that is likely the case. According to the archives within the palace, those from the Outer Domains were capable of traversing between our worlds at ease several thousand years ago, but due to the constant wars and fighting of all those planes, one of the True Celestials finally stepped in to put a stop to that barbaric age. From what I recall, that person was called Heavenly Flame Monarch. He used his own body to act as the sacrificial body to place a barrier between us and those from the outside." Now that he's thought back to the old knowledge, First Elder's breathing rhythm clearly grew faster, which showed how much it bothered him. "Sire, if it's really the Outer Domains, then I'm afraid...."

Growing grim and dark in the face as well, Di Cang doesn't back down despite the threat: "And what of it? If they dare to move against my people then I don't care if it's a Divine Lord or True Celestial, I will make all those who caused State Teacher's death pay for their transgression! Blood for blood, that's the ironclad law of our kind, don't forget that!"

Shaken and moved by that bravado, First Elder still felt somewhat uneasy inside but knew the king he serves wouldn't fail and would surely achieve such goal. The main task at hand would be to figure out the one responsible, only then could they move forward with the next plan.

"Sire, the only one who truly knows the one behind the attack is that little fox brought back by the princess. Unfortunately, that fox has died and her soul extinguished. I'm afraid our clues are completely cut off at this rate."
