My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 491 - 488: You Owe Me

"Boom!!!"

The Eight Trigrams Seal and the Tenfold Mountains collided fiercely, producing an earth-shattering roar. Directly above them, a black hole appeared, with chaotic currents and wild winds raging within, looking terribly frightening. The clash of the Eight Trigrams Seal and the Tenfold Mountains unleashed a terrifying pressure that collapsed the sky, subsequently creating the black hole.

"Whoosh!"

After a single collision, the Eight Trigrams Seal and the Tenfold Mountains flew backward, and the black hole in the sky slowly vanished.

From the looks of it, the Eight Trigrams Seal and the Tenfold Mountains were evenly matched, with no clear winner.

"I refuse to believe that your Tenfold Mountains are stronger than my Eight Trigrams Seal!" The Demon Emperor pinched out a Magical Formula and shouted loudly, "Go!"

The newly stabilized Eight Trigrams Seal wobbled, then soared into the sky.

Under the Human Emperor's control, the Tenfold Mountains also took flight.

"Boom!!!"

The Eight Trigrams Seal and the Tenfold Mountains collided once again, the sound thunderous, and another black hole appeared in the high sky...

This time still, no victor could be discerned. Whether in terms of material selection or refining techniques, the Eight Trigrams Seal and the Tenfold Mountains had no discernible difference. In other words, both artifacts were of the same level, and it was incredibly difficult to determine which was superior!

The great battle continued from day to night, then from night to day again, and both the Demon Emperor and Human Emperor grew tired.

"Stop!" The Human Emperor withdrew the Tenfold Mountains and retreated a hundred paces.

The Demon Emperor also recalled the Eight Trigrams Seal, then sneered, "Why stop fighting? Are you scared?"

"The word 'fear' doesn't exist in my vocabulary," the Human Emperor snorted. "I call for a ceasefire because fighting on won't yield a winner. Rather than wasting time, it's better to halt temporarily." He added, "When the time comes, we'll have a proper face-off, and I'll surely beat you so badly, you'll be on the ground searching for your teeth, begging for mercy."

"Keep boasting, let's see if you can boast your way to heaven." The Demon Emperor's face showed disdain. "You think you can defeat me? Maybe in your next life!"

"I don't want to waste my time arguing about this nonsense." The Human Emperor took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the rising anger in his chest, and tried to keep his tone calm, "Sikong Yi and his cohorts have betrayed me, and I must capture them. I hope you'll do me the honor of handing them over to me."

"I..." The Demon Emperor was about to speak when he was interrupted by the Human Emperor.

The Human Emperor waved his hand and said, "Keeping Sikong Yi and the others serves you no purpose, it will only deepen the hostility between us. I hope you will carefully consider this and avoid causing unnecessary trouble for yourself."

The Demon Emperor smacked his lips, "I'll say it one last time; I haven't seen your subordinates, and I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, there's nothing more I can do."

"Are you determined to keep them?" The Human Emperor said angrily, "You just wait! I'll make you regret this!" With a parting threat, the Human Emperor turned and left, streaking across the sky and vanishing in an instant.

"Who's afraid of whom!" The Demon Emperor huffed, "You dare to be so arrogant on my territory. If you push me too far, I'll deploy my army and wipe you out." After cursing for a while, the Demon Emperor left, hands behind his back, humming a tune. Having given the Human Emperor the short end of the stick, he was quite pleased with himself.

...

The Human Emperor had an impressive name, known as Dugu Jingtian.

The Demon Emperor's name was also formidable, called Xing Mietian, for his true form was that of a great gorilla, hence the name incorporating the character "Xing."

Dugu Jingtian and Xing Mietian both climbed from the bottom, step by step, from an unknown figure to becoming Territory Monarchs that dominated the world, conjuring storms with a command! If they were from the same race, perhaps they could have become good friends; alas, one was from the Human Race and the other from the Demon Race, and it has been an antagonistic relationship between the two since time immemorial, making peaceful coexistence almost impossible.

The Human Race looked down upon the Demon Race, and the Demon Race likewise disdained the Human Race. The two races had been fighting since the Primordial Era, causing countless deaths and injuries, and the enmity only deepened over time.

Every era, a few geniuses would emerge from both races. Once these individuals matured, they would lead their people to conquer in all directions and expand their territories. These geniuses had one thing in common: they were belligerent! Every single one of them was a fanatic for battle!

...

Had the Demon Emperor Xing Mietian ever met Sikong Yi and the others? The answer was definitely yes! He had met them, but he had no intention of handing them over to the Human Emperor.

After driving away the Human Emperor Dugu Jingtian, the Demon Emperor Xing Mietian returned to his Traveling Palace. The so-called "Traveling Palace" referred to "temporary lodging," and the Demon Race had built them everywhere, but only the Demon Emperor Xing Mietian was qualified to reside in them.

"We pay homage to Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor!" Four individuals approached quickly and bowed to the Demon Emperor Xing Mietian with the utmost respect. These four were Sikong Yi, Zhao Batu, Duanmu Lengqiu, and Li He.

"Dispense with the formalities," the Demon Emperor Xing Mietian waved his hand, "The Human Emperor has been driven away, you all are safe now."

Sikong Yi and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since they had fled to the Demon Territory, they had been constantly on edge, fearing that Demon Emperor Xing Mietian would not take them in. Now it seemed their worries had been superfluous.

Xing Mietian smiled faintly, "To protect you all, I went to great lengths to battle the Human Emperor."

"What was the outcome?" Sikong Yi asked anxiously.

Zhao Batu, Duanmu Lengqiu, and Li He were all looking intently at Xing Mietian as well.

"It was an even match, with no victor," Xing Mietian said, curling his lips, "I saved you, so how will you repay me?"

"We will obey any command from Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor. Even if it means climbing a mountain of swords or plunging into a sea of flames, we will not falter," Sikong Yi and others said solemnly.

"I don't need you to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames. I only want you to do one thing," said Xing Mietian with a smile.

"What is it?"

"You are princes, so you must know quite a few secrets, right?"

"We..."

"Tell me everything you know! There must be no concealment! Especially anything regarding the Human Emperor."

"..."

"What? Is there a problem?" Xing Mietian's expression hardened, "If you don't want to talk, I won't force you, but... I won't keep you here."

"Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor, please don't be angry, I will tell you, I will tell you everything I know," Sikong Yi and the others finally submitted.

"That's more like it," the Demon Emperor Xing Mietian said with a grin, "Having fallen out with the Human Emperor, it's impossible for you to return to the Human Territory. From now on, you can stay in the Demon Territory in peace. I won't treat you unfairly." Then, the Demon Emperor Xing Mietian added, "If you perform well, I might even let you continue being princes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor," said Sikong Yi and the others, full of gratitude.

In the following time, Sikong Yi and the rest began to explain the situation in the Human Territory, and the Demon Emperor Xing Mietian listened attentively.
