Chapter 845: 845: Expelled from the Imperial Family

Chapter 845: Chapter 845: Expelled from the Imperial Family

Jiang Fan pointed at the Zhuoyin Demon Emperor and said coldly:

“Members of the South Sea Demon Clan, your Zhuoyin Demon Emperor has repeatedly defamed me.”

“Shouldn’t the South Sea give an explanation?”

Upon hearing this.

The clan elders felt a tightness in their hearts.

On that pill recipe, there were still several key ingredients with unmarked ratios.

If Jiang Fan refused to provide them, the pill recipe would be as good as useless.

At the moment, that scoundrel Zhuoyin Demon Emperor dared to bully Jiang Fan.

What was more infuriating.

Zhuoyin Demon Emperor was using the title of South Sea Demon Emperor.

This was pushing Jiang Fan to oppose the South Sea!

For hundreds of years, it had been hard for the South Sea to earn a heaven-sent chance to shake off Sanqing Mountain’s control.

This scoundrel was ruining everything.

He’s deliberately ensuring the South Sea never rises again!

The clan elders could no longer bear it.

“Despicable creature!”

A clan elder with long fish whiskers said angrily: “You incompetent fool!”

“Now, in my capacity as the Head Clan Elder, I propose.”

“To revoke Zhuoyin’s status in the South Sea Imperial Family!”

“Raise your hand if you oppose!”

The many clan elders were indignant.

Not a single one opposed.

They had long harbored resentment against the Zhuoyin Demon Emperor.

Although some other members of the imperial family had received some benefits from Zhuoyin and wanted to keep him.

Seeing the murderous glance from the clan elders.

Who would dare openly support Zhuoyin?

Thus.

The entire room fell silent.

“Good! No one opposes!”

“The entire clan approves the expulsion of Zhuoyin from the Imperial Family!”

Then.

He looked at the Old Dream Demon Emperor and cupped his hands in respect: “Old Dream, do you have any objections?”

The Old Dream Demon Emperor let out a long sigh in her heart.

She knew things would unfold like this.

Deep inside, a trace of guilt crossed her mind.

She once promised the Old Demon Emperor to help Zhuoyin govern the South Sea.

Now, she was expelling Zhuoyin from the South Sea Imperial Family.

It was essentially a betrayal of the Old Demon Emperor’s dying wish.

But she also understood that the Zhuoyin Demon Emperor had become a poison to the South Sea!

Without removing him, the South Sea would never find peace.

Not even considering the future.

Offending Jiang Fan now would lose the South Sea a chance to resolve the clan’s century-old curse.

What is the point of keeping such a person?

The Old Dream Demon Emperor suppressed a moment of reluctance, her gaze icy:

“Since the imperial family has no objections, neither do I, Old Dream.”

“Now, I announce in my capacity as the South Sea Demon Emperor.”

“Zhuoyin Demon Emperor, expelled from the South Sea Imperial Family!”

“From this moment, move out of the South Sea Palace, and never set foot in the palace again!”

This solemn declaration was transmitted through special soundwaves to every part of the sea.

The sea demon clan within several hundred miles of the palace heard the South Sea Demon Emperor’s announcement.

This news would also be delivered in various ways to every corner of the South Sea.

And eventually informed to the Four Seas.

“Old Dream! Clan elders!”

“Are you really expelling me from the South Sea Imperial Family for the sake of a mere human?”

Zhuoyin Demon Emperor could hardly believe it.

In the past, he had acted more recklessly, far more serious than this disruption of the banquet, yet the South Sea hadn’t treated him in any way.

Now he merely bullied Jiang Fan.

And didn’t even touch a hair on him, yet received such severe punishment!

The Old Dream Demon Emperor ignored him.

Instead, she looked at Jiang Fan, her majestic face turning into a warm smile:

“Young Master Jiang, how do you find this handling?”

“Are you satisfied?”

Jiang Fan nodded slightly: “It’s acceptable.”

“But if he disappears from my sight now, that would be even better.”

The Old Dream Demon Emperor immediately cast a cold glance at Zhuoyin:

“Didn’t you hear?”

“Why are you still in the South Sea Palace?”

“This is not a place for you, get out immediately!”

“Don’t disturb Young Master Jiang’s mood!”

Seeing the Old Dream Demon Emperor’s cold look at him and her ingratiating smile towards Jiang Fan.

Zhuoyin Demon Emperor only felt a nameless anger burning in his chest as he shouted:

“Pretty boy!”

“What on earth did you do to my wife?”

“To make her so obedient to you?”

As he spoke, he lashed a vicious palm strike towards Jiang Fan’s head.

He didn’t believe this was real.

He didn’t believe it!

Smack——

Before he could make a move, a black dress suddenly flashed before him.

Next, a solid slap landed on his face, sending him flying sideways out of the hall.

The Old Dream Demon Emperor’s face was frosty as she coldly said: “Stubborn to the end!”

“Even at this point, you still smear Young Master Jiang.”

“Yet you even try to act?”

“Get out!”

“Or I’ll cripple your cultivation!”

Zhuoyin Demon Emperor spat blood as he crashed into the ground.

He roared with a sinister expression: “Old Dream!”

“You’re treating me this way for a pretty boy, aren’t you?”

“Fine, fine, fine!”

“In the future, don’t expect any more Cold Cicada Silence Pills from me for you or the South Sea Demon Clan!”

“Even if you kneel and beg me, it won’t do you any good!”

The Old Dream Demon Emperor had had enough.

Every time, threatening them with the Cold Cicada Silence Pill.

Thankfully, those days could finally end.

“Sorry, the South Sea won’t need your Cold Cicada Silence Pills in the future.”

“Keep them to enjoy slowly yourself!”

The several core clan elders also looked disdainful.

“He’s a piece of crap!”

“Finally, we don’t have to put up with him!”

“Get lost quickly! The South Sea doesn’t need someone like you!”

…

Zhuoyin Demon Emperor was dumbfounded.

His greatest reliance was gone?

He began to panic: “You… you are deliberately trying to scare me, aren’t you?”

“You rely on the Cold Cicada Silence Pill.”

“You need me even more.”

“Quick, you all kneel and admit your mistakes to me now, and I might consider forgiving you…”

The Old Dream Demon Emperor couldn’t listen anymore.

She lifted her long leg and stomped, causing a torrent to sweep Zhuoyin Demon Emperor out of the palace.

After doing that.

The Old Dream Demon Emperor hastily returned to the hall.

Seeing Jiang Fan covered in sand and mud.

She approached with an apologetic face, reaching out to help him brush it off.

But Jiang Fan evaded her, brushing himself off, and said calmly:

“The banquet ends here.”

“We’ll retrieve the Protective Luminous Pearl and complete the pill recipe.”

“Let’s finish this quickly.”

Hearing Jiang Fan’s displeasure, the Old Dream Demon Emperor’s apologies deepened.

She and Zhuoyin’s relationship had dragged Jiang Fan into their mess.

Anyone else, in his place, would be upset.

“Very well, I’ll lead Young Master Jiang immediately.” The Old Dream Demon Emperor nodded.

Even her manner of speaking became more cautious.

Afraid that Jiang Fan might become thoroughly upset and leave.

“Clan elders, could you please give me the key to the forbidden area?”

The Old Dream Demon Emperor looked to the eight core clan elders.

The Protective Luminous Pearl was protected by an array.

To activate this array, imperial symbols were needed.

There were two in total, one held by successive demon emperors.

The other was divided into eight pieces, managed by the eight clan elders.

The piece held by the Old Demon Emperor was accidentally lost before his end.

To activate it now, the eight pieces from the clan elders must be gathered.

It was because of this that the Protective Luminous Pearl had not been coveted by Zhuoyin.

Otherwise, it would have long been taken by him.

The eight clan elders handed over the pieces with anticipation.

“Old Dream, the hope of the South Sea is in your hands now.”

The Old Dream Demon Emperor gazed at the collected imperial symbols in her palm with expectation.

“Young Master Jiang, please come!”

With the handing over of the Protective Luminous Pearl, the history of the South Sea would be completely rewritten.

Jiang Fan sighed.

Hopefully, there are no more surprises.

Others might not gain any advantage, but face a needless hassle instead.

As for him?

Just passing by, he still got caught up in the trouble!

Even after keeping a distance of ten feet from the South Sea Demon Emperor, he got involved in so much trouble.

The more he thought about it, the more unfair it felt!
