Every remaining drop of blood gathered together, and an illusory demon figure appeared in mid-air!
This illusory demon figure was the Demon Fox Emperor. Its gaze was sharp and intimidating, and its superior aura was unmistakable. Its body was slender and well-built, and its body was covered in snow-white fur that appeared smooth and soft. Behind it, there were four fluffy tails that swayed, making it appear rather conspicuous!
This was a Demon Fox Emperor with four tails!
Legend has it that the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was the ancestor of the Demon Clan. A Demon Fox with nine tails was the most orthodox and powerful Demon Fox with one tail was the most ordinary Demon Fox. A Demon Fox with two tails was slightly stronger, and a Demon Fox with three tails was naturally more powerful. A Demon Fox with four tails was already considered rare, and the power of its bloodline was naturally extraordinary. It was no wonder it could reach the Demon Emperor realm!
The Demon Fox Emperor's blood had already seeped into the stone wall. No other Demon Clan member could have known about this. Furthermore, they needed the Demon Fox Emperor's leather handkerchief to gather them together.
Yao Yue knew that these gathered blood essences were the Demon Fox Emperor's true inheritance. It did not disappear with the passage of time, nor did it disappear with the destruction of the Tian Peng Clan!
The Demon Fox Emperor's arrangements were extraordinary. It could be seen that the Four-Tailed Demon Fox Emperor's strength was absolutely top-notch when it was alive. Otherwise, it would not have been able to set up such a trap!
The blood essences condensed into bright red blood droplets the size of a thumb. Finally, they were wrapped up by the Demon Fox Emperor's leather handkerchief, as if to seal them and prevent them from dissipating!
After the Demon Fox Emperor's leather handkerchief wrapped the blood droplets, it fell from mid-air. The Demon Fox Emperor's shadow disappeared, and all the light disappeared!
Yao Yue stared blankly at this scene, and his heart was in turmoil!
He knew very well what the Demon Fox Emperor's inheritance meant!
Any Demon Beast with the Demon Fox's bloodline that swallowed the blood droplets would possess the Demon Fox Emperor's bloodline. In the future, it would be easy for them to reach the Demon Fox Emperor realm!
Although Yao Yue was not a Demon Fox, he had the Ten Thousand Demon Devouring Blood Art. As long as he was willing, he could refine the blood droplets and complete his path to becoming a Demon Emperor!
However, he was still very clear-headed. His path was not that of the Fox Demon Emperor, but that of Hu Meiniang!
"This is great. Mei Niang has become a Demon Emperor. With her protecting me in the future, who would I be afraid of?
Haha! "Yao Yue thought excitedly.
However, this idea of his was a little hopeless!
He actually needed a woman to protect him. It seemed like he had the potential to be a gigolo!
Yao Yue took the blood bead wrapped in the Demon Emperor's skin into his hand. He didn't find anything special about it. It seemed to be just an ordinary little thing. No one would know that it contained the unexpected Demon Emperor's Blood!
After Yao Yue put away the blood bead, he quickly left the cave. He didn't want anyone to know about this. Otherwise, even with the Firehawk King protecting him, he wouldn't be safe!
Yao Yue returned to the old emperor and He Wei. The two of them had almost recovered from their injuries.
The old emperor had already tidied up his appearance. From his aged face, one could see that he was still young and heroic. Although the aura of an emperor was weak, it was still there. This wasn't the aura of a true emperor. It was the aura of an emperor that had been nurtured by staying in an emperor's house for a long time. It was the aura of the heavens that could only be passed down through words and not understood!
The old emperor had the strength of a middle-grade Xiantian Yuan King. He had been bitterly searching for an opportunity to break through and become a high-grade Yuan King. Therefore, he had entered the Jueyao Ridge to look for opportunities.
Unfortunately, an accident had caused him to become a human pet. This was the most humiliating day of his life!
As for He Wei, she still looked the same. Her hair was unkempt and her face was dirty. It was as if she didn't want anyone to know her appearance and identity!
Her strength didn't seem to be inferior to the old emperor. As someone from Cangxuan Palace, her strength naturally wouldn't be weak!
"Little Yue, when do we plan to leave?" the old emperor asked as soon as he saw Yao Yue return.
When he asked this, He Wei also looked at Yao Yue attentively.
Yao Yue replied, "We might have to wait a day or two. I'm still waiting for someone. We need him to bring us out of here!"
"Alright, let's wait a little longer. I'm getting old and I suddenly miss home!" the old emperor sighed.
The experience of being a human pet had left a deep impression on the old emperor. He had already given up all hope of advancing further. All he wanted now was to return to the dynasty and enjoy his old age.
Yao Yue hesitated for a moment before saying, "Old Emperor, don't be discouraged. I believe that you will live as long as the heavens!"
Having said that, he took out some monkey wine and said, "Old Emperor, I'll treat you to a sip of wine. Have a taste!"
The old emperor was puzzled. However, when he smelled the fragrance of the wine that Yao Yue took out, he felt a little hungry. He smiled and said, "Haha, alright. I haven't had wine in a long time. This will satisfy my craving!"
Having said that, the old emperor took the monkey wine from Yao Yue and started drinking.
"Old Emperor, don't drink too fast. This wine is too strong!" Yao Yue reminded.
However, he was too slow. The wine had already flowed into the old emperor's stomach.
"Ahhh!"
The old emperor suddenly screamed. The wine jar in his hand fell to the ground.
Yao Yue quickly caught the jar. This was the Monkey Immortal Wine that was only brewed once every hundred years. He couldn't let it go to waste!
It was normal for the old emperor to react this way. Yao Yue still remembered the first time he drank the Monkey Immortal Wine. However, he hadn't drunk it as fast as the old emperor, so his reaction wasn't as intense.
After the old emperor screamed, his body swayed a few times before he stabilized himself and closed his eyes. He seemed to be immersed in some kind of sensation.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Good wine!"
"Do you still want more?" Yao Yue smiled at the old emperor.
The old emperor immediately replied, "Yes, of course!"
After saying that, he realized that he had lost his composure. He smiled awkwardly and said, "This wine is too extraordinary. It must be very precious. Little Yue, don't you feel sad for me to drink it like this?"
Yao Yue smiled. "Hehe, the wine might be precious, but you're the late emperor of our dynasty. You're the pillar of our dynasty. You've contributed a lot to the dynasty. It's Yao Yue's honor to be able to treat you to a few sips!"
"Haha, good. You're good with words!"
The old emperor laughed loudly. His gaze was fixed on the wine jug in Yao Yue's hand, and he was almost drooling.
Yao Yue quickly handed it over and said, "Old Emperor, drink slowly. It will have unexpected effects!"
The Old Emperor nodded repeatedly. He took the jar of wine and drank it again.
This time, he didn't dare to drink too quickly. Instead, he savored the wine one mouthful at a time. His smile was so bright that He Wei, who wasn't far away, looked at him suspiciously.
After the Old Emperor drank a dozen mouthfuls, his old face turned red and he started to get drunk!
"Let's get drunk. When you wake up, perhaps everything will be different!" Yao Yue sighed.
The Monkey Immortal Wine was indeed very precious. It could cleanse one's marrow and meridians, strengthen one's body, and extend one's lifespan. It wasn't something ordinary people could drink.
The old emperor still had a lot of lifespan left. However, his original cultivation talent wasn't very outstanding. He had relied on various spiritual herbs to break through to the Xiantian Yuan King realm. His foundation wasn't very stable and it would be extremely difficult for him to advance further.
On the other hand, the Monkey Wine could cleanse his aging body once more, causing his unstable foundation to become much more stable. It would increase his chances of advancing to the next level by a few percent!
Yao Yue had solved his fundamental problem for him.
Yao Yue didn't have much Monkey Immortal Wine in stock. If it wasn't for the old emperor's extraordinary status and the fact that it would be useful to him in the future, he wouldn't have been willing to give it to him.
Yao Yue only hoped that his efforts this time would pay off in the future.
In the blink of an eye, another day passed and the old emperor woke up again.
His old face became a lot rosier, and the wrinkles on his face became a lot fewer. His entire face seemed to have become ten years younger, and the aura of a ruler exuded from his body. His spirit had become several times better than before!
"Haha, Little Yue, this emperor thanks you!" The old emperor expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
He could feel the changes in his body. The bottleneck of his breakthrough seemed to be loosening, which made him extremely happy.
He knew very well that this was the reason why Yao Yue gave him the wine. He couldn't help but be grateful to Yao Yue.
First, he saved him from the jaws of death. Then, he gave him hope of a breakthrough. Yao Yue was undoubtedly his benefactor.
"Old Emperor, you're too kind!" Yao Yue said humbly.
"You're such a good child!
Come, this emperor will bestow this token to you! "After the old emperor praised Yao Yue, he gave the token to Yao Yue.
Yao Yue was terrified. "I can't accept this!"
Yao Yue understood the significance of the token.
Seeing the token was the same as seeing the old emperor. He could do whatever he wanted in the Empire. Even if he made a grave mistake, it was equivalent to a golden token of immunity. Even the current emperor did not have the right to kill him.
In the entire Empire, his grandfather Long Tianba was the only person who was not part of the Imperial Family to have the token.
His grandfather had achieved many outstanding military achievements and was a minister for three generations. That was why he was qualified to receive the token. Now that the old emperor gave him the token, he was really flattered.
"Take it. You saved me and even gave me the divine wine. You're definitely qualified to receive the token.
What's more, you're one of the pillars of the Imperial Academy. This can be considered as me throwing you a branch in advance. I hope that after you finish your term, you'll be able to serve the Imperial Academy and protect the Imperial Academy's mountains and rivers! "The Old Emperor forcefully stuffed the Imperial Order into Yao Yue's hands.
He was right. Yao Yue had saved him, but if Yao Yue was not outstanding, he was not worthy of the old emperor giving him the token.
He could tell that Yao Yue was a righteous young man and Long Tianba's grandson-in-law. His potential was limitless. The old emperor was only trying to recruit Yao Yue in advance.
Yao Yue hesitated for a moment before accepting the token. He then got down on one knee and said, "Thank you for your reward, Old Emperor!"
He was a human and a member of the Empire. To receive such a reward from the old emperor, he had to kneel and accept it.
It was at this moment that a loud voice rang out, "How can a prince of the Blazing Hawk Tribe kneel to a human? Get up!"
