Chapter 841

As Shi Pokong and Shi Chuankong knelt down, the Blood Drop Marquis also quickly knelt down as he loudly praised.

Han Li's eyes flashed. He only gave a slight bow towards the main seat, but he did not kneel down.

Shi Chuankong knelt down on the ground. Seeing this, he was shocked.

The Demon Lord was very strict with the rules. Not kneeling in front of the emperor was a great crime.

He was filled with regret that he had forgotten to mention this matter to Han Li ahead of time.

Before he could react, a cold reprimand came from the side.

"Bold fool, not kneeling in front of the Sacred Emperor!"

There were rows of seats on the left side of the hall with two people already sitting there.

Han Li's heart trembled. Ever since he stepped into the hall, his mind had been completely focused on the Demon Lord and he had not noticed what was happening around him.

There were thirteen seats in the first row and they were all dark gold, completely different from the red seats behind them.

There was a person sitting in the fifth seat in the first row. This person was a young woman wearing a purple dress with a purple and gold phoenix crown on her head. Her face was like a painting and she was extremely beautiful. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she could cause the downfall of a country.

On the sixth seat next to the woman was a purple robed round faced Youth. He was not tall and had a round body, looking like a short winter melon. It was him who had coldly shouted.

Behind the two of them sat a tall demon wearing blue armour. It seemed like they were Han Li and the Blood Drop Marquis's guards.

Han Li ignored the round-faced youth and turned his attention to the palace-robed woman with a trace of astonishment.

This woman was the white dressed woman who had stopped him from interacting with the crown prince.

The woman's clear eyes also looked over. There was no resentment in her eyes as she smiled at Han Li.

The woman was extremely beautiful to begin with, and when she smiled, it was as if hundreds of flowers had bloomed. Even Han Li was slightly dazed for a moment, but he quickly recovered and withdrew his gaze.

"I'm not from the Sacred Region. I'm only here to protect the Thirteenth Prince.

Han Li pondered for a moment before replying. Although I revere the Holy Emperor, he is only a senior to me, so there is no need for me to kneel. "

Although he didn't want to kneel, he didn't want to offend the Demon Master either. After all, he still had to rely on the Demon Master for the Weeping Soul Realm.

"Presumptuous! How dare you argue!" The round-faced Youth's face darkened.

"Forget it, Ming Zhen. It's just a small matter. Don't argue here," the Fiend Lord said indifferently.

"Yes, Father."

The round-faced Youth was surprised and immediately agreed. He glared fiercely at Han Li and didn't say anything else.

Shi Chuankong, who was kneeling on the ground, was also taken aback.

There didn't seem to be much change in Shi Pokong's expression, only the tip of his eyebrows raised ever so slightly.

"You are Li Feiyu?

Since you're not from the Sacred Region, you don't have to kneel. Pokong, Chuankong, get up. "The Fiend Lord said calmly.

"Thank you, Father." Shi Pokong, Shi Chuankong, and the Blood Drop Marquis stood up.

Han Li also bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

"Chuankong, you've been away from the Sacred Region for a long time. How was your trip to the World of True Immortals?" The Fiend Lord looked at Shi Chuankong and said with a smile.

"Father, I've seen a lot of things in the World of True Immortals and gained a lot." Shi Chuankong said hurriedly.

"Your cultivation has improved a lot this time. It seems that the trip was not in vain.

As a cultivator, we should broaden our horizons and experience more hardships in order to improve. "The Fiend Lord praised. The last sentence was for the people in the palace.

"Father is right."

Shi Chuankong agreed. The woman in the palace dress and the round-faced Youth also nodded in agreement.

"Father, it's important to improve one's cultivation. However, we, the royal family, shoulder the livelihood of millions of people in the Sacred Region. We can't just focus on our own cultivation.

In recent years, the Heavenly Court's garrison near the Sacred Region has been moving frequently. It seems that there's a big movement. I hope that Father can investigate it thoroughly to prevent the Heavenly Court from invading again. "Shi Pokong said.

"Got it. I'll make arrangements for this matter." The Demon Lord replied noncommittally when he heard this.

At this moment, a servant rushed in from outside the hall and knelt to the ground, "Reporting to the Holy Emperor, the First Highness, the Eighth Highness, and the Tenth Highness are waiting outside."

"Let them in." The Fiend Lord said and waved his hand at Shi Pokong and the others.

When they saw this, they retreated to the side.

Shi Pokong sat down on the third seat. The Blood Drop Marquis stood behind him. Shi Chuankong went to the last seat. Han Li naturally followed behind.

"Fellow Li, Father has a stubborn personality. Although I don't know why he forgave you for your rudeness just now, it's really fortunate.

You can't have any conflicts with him in the future. Otherwise, not to mention saving the Weeping Soul Beast, your personal safety will not be guaranteed. "Shi Chuankong's low voice sounded in Han Li's mind.

Han Li was silent for a moment before he silently nodded.

How could he not know that his actions just now were a bit inappropriate? However, there were some things that he couldn't do. Kneeling to someone else was something that he couldn't do.

Shi Chuankong saw Han Li nod and his expression relaxed slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, who are those two?" Han Li glanced at the woman in the palace dress and the round-faced Youth and asked.

"That's Fifth Sister Shi Jingyan and Sixth Brother Shi Mingzhen." Shi Chuankong replied.

"Are they related to the First Prince?" Han Li's eyebrows twitched as he asked again.

"Fifth Sister has a high cultivation base and is very ambitious. She is one of the most outstanding people here, comparable to Big Brother and Third Brother.

Her subordinates are not small and Sixth Brother and Twelfth Brother are both her supporters. "Shi Chuankong said in a low voice.

When Han Li heard this, he was secretly surprised. At the same time, he thought back to how this woman had stopped him from talking to the First Prince and wondered if there was some kind of conspiracy behind this.

At this moment, with the sound of footsteps, the First Prince and the others walked in.

"Greetings, Royal Father. Congratulations to Royal Father for advancing your cultivation and for reaching the Dao Ancestor realm as soon as possible!" The First Prince and the others bowed down and said in unison.

"Good, good, you may all rise." The Demon Lord revealed a smile, as if he was very happy with the First Prince's flattery.

The First Prince and the others stood up, walked to the first seat on the side, and sat down. The Eighth Prince and the Tenth Prince also sat down in their respective seats.

After sitting down, the First Prince looked around the hall. He first nodded slightly at the Third Prince Shi Pokong and Fifth Princess Shi Jingyan, and then turned to look at Han Li with a smile.

Han Li did not seem to hear this, and the First Prince also did not seem to care and looked away.

In the following time, there were many people who came to congratulate the Demon Lord.

These people were all nobles, and they were in charge of the affairs of Yang Ye City, and even the Demon Realm.

The celebration in front of him was somewhat similar to the morning court in the secular world.

Shi Chuankong continued to introduce the identities of these people to Han Li, giving Han Li a rough impression of the people in the Demon Realm.

Soon, the seats in the hall were almost full.

However, in the first row, there were still only seven people, including Shi Pokong. There were no other princes or princesses.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, didn't you say that the Holy Emperor's coming out of seclusion is a major event in the Holy Region, and that the other princes and princesses won't be coming?" Han Li looked at the almost half empty seats and asked.

"Seventh Brother is currently guarding Black Duck City, closely monitoring the movements of the Heavenly Court, and can't be here. Twelfth Brother likes to travel, and is not in Yang Ye City for many years. Even Father can't do anything about him.

As for Second Sister, Fourth Sister, Ninth Sister, and Eleventh Sister, the four of them have become disciples of a Dao Ancestor in the Holy Region. I haven't seen them for many years, and they definitely won't be coming this time, "Shi Chuankong explained.

"I see." Han Li nodded.

After a while, no one else appeared outside.

"Since everyone is here, let's begin. While I'm in seclusion, report to me what important things have happened in the Holy Region." The Demon Lord knocked on the table in front of him and said.

The First Prince, Shi Zhanfeng, was the first to stand up.

"Reporting to Father, while you were in seclusion, I visited the Mohe, Yongliang, Frigid Cloud, and Lonestar Regions. These are the reports I wrote. Please take a look, Father." Shi Zhanfeng took out a jade book.

A grey figure flew out from behind the Demon Lord and appeared in front of the First Prince in a flash. He took the jade book and appeared beside the Demon Lord in a flash, respectfully presenting it to him.

Han Li's expression changed slightly. He knew that he only saw the grey figure's true form now. It was a figure in grey robes.

This person's face was covered with a layer of black Qi, and his face could not be seen clearly. His body floated in the air, and he did not seem to be made of flesh and blood. Instead, he seemed to be a ghost.

"That person is called Shadow, and he is Father's personal guard. No one knows his identity, and no one has seen his face before, but he is extremely powerful." Shi Chuankong saw Han Li looking at him and transmitted his voice to him.

"Very good. You have cleared out the bandits in these four regions, and your contribution is not small." The Demon Lord took over the jade book, flipped through it quickly, and nodded.

"I don't think it is hard for me to share Father's burden. On the contrary, it is Father who is working hard in seclusion. I obtained a stalk of 'Essence Space Grass' a few years ago, and I hope it will be of help to you."

Shi Zhanfeng moved his wrist and took out a white wooden box. After opening the cover, there was a stalk of grass that was a few inches long.

This grass was silvery-white in color, and it had nine leaves. However, the shapes were all different, and every leaf was covered with silver Dao patterns, emitting an extremely strong fluctuation of the laws of space.

The shadow took the wooden box in a flash and placed it in front of the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord's eyes lit up, and he carefully looked at the Essence Space Grass in the wooden box. He nodded and kept it.

"Son, your filial piety is commendable. You will be rewarded with three Celestial Green Exquisite Pills, ten sets of Absolute Beginning Sacred Armor, and ten Dragon Elephant Suppressing Sword." The Demon Lord revealed a smile and said to the shadow.

The shadow disappeared in a flash, and in the next moment, he appeared with a white jade tray in his hand. There were three palm-sized crystals on it, and each crystal had a Celestial Green Elixir sealed in it. There were ten sets of white armor, and ten golden longswords.

A faint medicinal fragrance was emitted from the three Celestial Green Elixir. When Han Li smelled this medicinal fragrance, the 36 opened mystic acupoints in his body started to squirm, as though they wanted to swallow the three elixirs.
