Sky Dragon Demon Marshal, Crazy Development

The sky was blood-red.

Everyone in the Nine-Tails Village was drawn by this terrifying sight, and the spacious plaza was instantly packed with people, save for Long Jiuyyao, who remained unmoved.

"Aunt Xin, have your clansmen return; my people have arrived," Long Jiuyyao transmitted his voice.

Aunt Xin received the message and dispersed the dense crowd. Immediately after, a dark radiance streaked across the sky like a meteor, piercing through the Clan Protection Array and hovering directly before the blood-colored throne.

A casual voice rang out: "Sky Dragon Demon Marshal, do you recognize this?"

The gaze of the Sky Dragon Demon Marshal, who had long dark-red hair, shot toward the pitch-black Dragon Seal in the air. In an instant, the indifference in his eyes vanished, replaced by shock and astonishment.

"This... this is the exclusive Dragon Seal of the Dragon Clan Young Master. Who are you?" The Sky Dragon Demon Marshal asked, his face full of disbelief.

Although he was a member of the Dragon Clan, he was marginalized. Without a summons, he could not enter the Dragon Domain at will, let alone know of Long Jiuyyao's existence. Aside from the clansmen at the heart of the Dragon Domain, no one knew of Long Jiuyyao.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was astonished. Even Aunt Xin was deeply shocked; she had guessed that Long Jiuyyao might be the offspring of some elder in the Dragon Clan with a high status, but she had never dared to imagine he was the Young Master—that was simply too far-fetched.

Yet the truth was right before their eyes. Long Jiuyyao's current status stood at the very pinnacle of the pyramid; barring any accidents, he would eventually become the Lord of the Dragon Clan, one of the hegemon clans of the Demon Domain.

The subordinates brought by the Sky Dragon Demon Marshal trembled slightly in surprise, while a flash of shock and excitement flickered in the Marshal's previously stagnant eyes. His opportunity had arrived!

"Make camp and rest," the Sky Dragon Demon Marshal immediately ordered.

He then went to the Nine-Tails Village alone, restraining his murderous aura. Guided by a beautiful member of the Nine-Tails Clan, he finally saw Long Jiuyyao atop the sky-reaching ancient tree.

The Sky Dragon Demon Marshal bowed his back and held his hands out flat; the pitch-black Dragon Seal seemed to be guided by an invisible force as it flew into Long Jiuyyao's hand.

"Young Master, may I ask what the purpose of summoning us here is?" The Sky Dragon Demon Marshal asked with his head lowered.

"Boom!"

Long Jiuyyao leaped down from the ancient tree and stood before the Sky Dragon Demon Marshal. "It is simple. The Nine-Tails Clan is now an ally of my clan, so you shall look after them here in the Beast War Domain."

"Ah! Should they not be subordinates? How could they be allies?" The Sky Dragon Demon Marshal looked at Long Jiuyyao, who was only as tall as his waist, in confusion.

"Hm? Are you questioning my decision?" Long Jiuyyao's expression was indifferent. Suddenly, a golden glint flashed in his pitch-black eyes, and his skin began to radiate a blinding dark gold light. A pure, indescribable pressure swept out from his body like a tidal wave, enveloping the entire plaza.

As the pressure permeated the area, the air seemed to solidify. Even the Sky Dragon Demon Marshal's face turned pale; he could clearly feel the purity of this pressure.

As a member of the Dragon Clan, the pressure emitted by the Ancient Dragon Bone within Long Jiuyyao clearly exerted a powerful suppression over him.

"This kind of pressure..."

The Sky Dragon Demon Marshal stared at Long Jiuyyao with trembling eyes, his gaze seemingly piercing through Long Jiuyyao's body. Deep within that frame, dark golden bones lay coiled like a heavenly dragon, radiating endless majesty.

"It is a Dragon Bone... Could it be that the Young Master already possesses an Ancient Dragon Bone?"

The Sky Dragon Demon Marshal couldn't help but gasp. He could sense the formidable nature of the Dragon Bone within Long Jiuyyao; such thick and pure pressure could only be possessed by an Ancient Dragon Bone.

"Good that you know. You only need to follow my orders unconditionally," Long Jiuyyao said with a domineering air.

Only now did the Sky Dragon Demon Marshal understand why he was the Young Master. At such an age, he already possessed an Ancient Dragon Bone that even some elders might not have.

At this moment, Long Jiuyyao's image was infinitely magnified in the Sky Dragon Demon Marshal's heart.

"Sky Dragon, if you handle this matter well, while the Ancient Dragon Transformation Pool may be difficult for others to enter, I can find a way for you in the future," Long Jiuyyao said, using both kindness and authority.

Upon hearing this, the Sky Dragon Demon Marshal's body shook slightly. He raised his head, his gaze trembling as he looked at Long Jiuyyao, then nodded fiercely: "Everything shall be as the Young Master commands!"

His purpose in coming here was to gain the favor of that person, hoping for a chance to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool. He had taken a gamble, betting that the person who arrived had significant influence within the Dragon Clan, and clearly, he had won.

Thus, this temptation from Long Jiuyyao was something he could not refuse, for he had spent his entire life working toward this goal.

His own Dragon Bone was only of a medium level; if he could enter the Dragon Transformation Pool, it would undoubtedly bring a massive improvement to the purity of his bloodline.

"Since that is the case, you know what to do. Now go," Long Jiuyyao said coldly.

After turning around, the Sky Dragon Demon Marshal reverted to his arrogant self. "Second Commander, lead three thousand Blood Guards to clear out all forces within ten thousand miles of this area. From now on, the Nine-Tails Clan calls the shots here."

"First Commander, Third Commander, each of you lead five thousand Blood Guards to notify Hundred Beasts Ridge and Thunder Abyss Mountain respectively. They are to withdraw from the ten-thousand-mile radius around Nine-Tails Village within three days. Do not step even half a step inside; those who disobey will be executed."

"We obey." With that, most of the army that had arrived vanished.

Having issued his orders, the Sky Dragon Demon Marshal returned to Long Jiuyyao's side and stood in silence.

Long Jiuyyao scanned the area and turned to Aunt Xin: "Aunt Xin, this is my sincerity. In the future, if there is anything you cannot resolve, send someone to the Blood Dragon Hall. Sky Dragon will handle it for you."

Before leaving, Long Jiuyyao met with Xin Qing privately and gave her a token, though he did not explain its specific function.

Outside the Nine-Tails Village, Aunt Xin, Xin Qing, and the entire Nine-Tails Clan watched as Long Jiuyyao departed. They knew that his words would allow them to live securely in the Beast War Domain, no longer fearing that the women of their clan would be captured and turned into slaves.

Long Jiuyyao sat on the throne that had originally belonged to the Sky Dragon Demon Marshal, while the Marshal stood by his side. The Marshal's subordinates also secretly sized up Long Jiuyyao, all of them astonished by his age.

Long Jiuyyao closed his eyes to rest, a rough plan for unifying the Beast War Domain slowly forming in his mind. Since he had come out, he naturally wouldn't return so easily.

Although the Beast War Domain was chaotic, the Divine Object Mountain Range here was fascinating. The place everyone called the Divine Object Treasury was actually the Xuantian Hall, which ranked tenth on the Ancient Divine Object Ranking.

The Xuantian Hall was a divine object created by Fu Zu. As long as materials were thrown into it, it could autonomously refine and repair divine objects. It also possessed the power of sealing; even an Yi Mo King would find it difficult to escape once trapped within.

Long Jiuyyao coveted this treasure, but for now, he could only think about it. When the opportunity arose in the future, he would certainly not let it slip by.

As Long Jiuyyao pondered, they returned to the Blood Dragon Hall. The remaining Blood Guards looked at Long Jiuyyao, who sat high upon the blood-colored throne, with surprise, but they said nothing.

Long Jiuyyao opened his eyes. A majestic and imposing blood-colored palace came into view, and the accompanying Blood Guards gradually dispersed to return to their posts.

Led by the Sky Dragon Demon Marshal, Long Jiuyyao arrived at the main hall. A faint red light flickered at the Mud Pill Palace between Long Jiuyyao's brows. He waved his hand, signaling for everyone to leave.

Once they had departed, a Spiritual Map appeared in the air, and a point of red light on that map flared brilliantly.

"It seems the lost Halberd Spirit is indeed here," Long Jiuyyao muttered, rubbing his forehead.

"Come in!" After stowing the map away, Long Jiuyyao called out toward the door.

A Blood Guard clad in red armor knelt on one knee, "My Lord!"

"Outside this Beast War Domain lies the Crimson Fire Plain. Find out exactly where the fire aura is strongest. Go." Long Jiuyyao commanded.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, the Blood Guard vanished from the great hall in an instant.

Long Jiuyyao flicked his finger, causing a jade talisman to hover in the air. With a flash from his brow, the talisman tore through the void and departed.

Since he had come to the Beast War Domain, he naturally had to find a way to subdue the Halberd Spirit before leaving. However, his current strength was too lacking, and he knew he would be staying here for quite some time, so he naturally needed to send word that he was safe.

Furthermore, he had requested someone from his Old Dad. Although the Blood Dragon Hall was a hegemon in the Beast War Domain, they only possessed one Cycle Realm expert, the Sky Dragon Demon Marshal; unifying the Beast War Domain would not be easy.

If he intended to unify the Beast War Domain, he naturally had to seek reinforcements from the Dragon Clan. In the past, the Dragon Clan had not sent anyone simply because the Sky Dragon Demon Marshal lacked the qualifications; the clan would not dispatch a Cycle Realm clansman based on his word alone. But Long Jiuyyao was the Young Patriarch, and his authority was naturally incomparable to that of the Sky Dragon Demon Marshal.

Within the Dragon Clan, the Cycle Realm was considered high-end combat power. With the Reincarnation realm absent, those in the Cycle Realm were kings—a testament to the power of the Cycle Realm.

Under Long Jiuyyao's command, the Blood Dragon Hall swept through the surrounding forces like a gale over the past three months, and now, it was vaguely established as the premier power in the Beast War Domain.

Previously, the Golden Ape Mountain, the Ghost Carving Ravine, and the Blood Dragon Hall had stood in a tripartite balance, each minding its own business. Although the three parties had their fair share of friction, they had never truly erupted into intense conflict.

However, Long Jiuyyao's arrival shattered this equilibrium. The Dragon Clan's reinforcements arrived two months later, and with their inclusion, even the vassal forces of the Golden Ape Mountain and the Ghost Carving Ravine were largely swallowed up.

A million miles away, in a gloomy mountain ravine spanning tens of thousands of miles, a dark, pitch-black palace stood at its deepest point. This was the Ghost Carving Ravine, a power as renowned as the Blood Dragon Hall.

"Speak!" A dark figure suddenly appeared upon the main throne.

"Ghost Carving Demon Marshal, the Blood Dragon Hall has been frantically devouring surrounding forces lately. Even the vassal forces belonging to us and the Golden Ape Mountain have been mostly wiped out. The Blood Dragon Hall is now the number one power in the Beast War Domain," a bird-headed guard reported with his head bowed.

"What! Where did that Sky Dragon get the gall, and where did he find the courage to break this stalemate?" A flash of confusion crossed the Ghost Carving Demon Marshal's sharp eyes, though it was quickly eclipsed by rage.

"And what of the Golden Ape Demon Marshal? Have they made any unusual moves in response to the Sky Dragon Demon Marshal's actions?" the Ghost Carving Demon Marshal asked.

"According to reports from our scouts, the Golden Ape Mountain is also furious. They are currently arming themselves, ready to engage the Blood Dragon Hall in a bloody battle at any moment," the subordinate replied.

"It seems that brute, the Golden Ape Demon Marshal, has no better ideas. It looks like I shall have to pay a visit to the Golden Ape Mountain myself."

"Pass down the order: everyone in the Ghost Carving Ravine is to prepare for war and await my command." The figure then vanished from the main hall.

A massive formation pattern appeared above the Ghost Carving Ravine, and a dark purple light barrier promptly enveloped the entire ravine.

Clearly, the current Blood Dragon Hall was strong enough to threaten the other two supreme powers.

Likewise, the Golden Ape Mountain took the same defensive measures as the Ghost Carving Ravine.

At this moment, inside the Blood Dragon Hall, the Qin Shi Demon Marshal of Hundred Beasts Ridge and the Xu Zhong Demon Marshal of Thunder Abyss Mountain were already present.

Of the eight great Demon Marshals, the Blood Dragon Hall now claimed three. It was likely that the remaining Demon Marshals were already aware of the Blood Dragon Hall's recent actions and had already formulated their own countermeasures.

For the current Blood Dragon Hall, aside from the two great Demon Marshals, Ghost Carving and Golden Ape, who were somewhat troublesome to deal with, the remaining three Demon Marshals no longer posed a threat.

Everyone gazed at Long Jiuyyao upon the throne. Naturally, the most astonished were the two who had just joined the Blood Dragon Hall, Xu Zhong and his companion; they had never imagined that the Blood Dragon Hall would be led by a mere child.

Standing beside Long Jiuyyao's throne were the Sky Dragon Demon Marshal and the reinforcement from the Dragon Clan. Long Jiuyyao had met this man once before—he was the Dragon Clan Sinner who had launched an attack on Long Jiuyyao in front of the main Dragon Clan hall: the Blood Chi Dragon, Li Shang.

At this moment, the aura he radiated was not the least bit weaker than that of the Sky Dragon Demon Marshal, and with the enhancement of his pure Dragon Clan Bloodline, he was more than capable of crushing the Sky Dragon Demon Marshal.
