The Fire Hawk Emperor had always been the most powerful existence in the Fire Hawk Clan. He was the most respected king of the Fire Hawk Clan.
However, after he disappeared for a hundred years, all the Fire Hawks thought that he had passed away.
Therefore, Huo Shang was the most powerful among the Fire Hawks and became the new king of the Fire Hawk Clan. As for Huo Ming, he was the prince.
They were affiliated to the Heavenly Wind Hawk Clan and were not bullied by other clans because of their lack of strength.
However, the return of the Fire Hawk Emperor made all the Fire Hawks submit to him. This was an inevitable fact.
Huo Shang and Huo Ming naturally didn't have any objections. With a King, the status of the Fire Hawk Clan would be different. Although they hadn't become a royal family yet, the status of the Fire Hawk Clan in the Jueyao Ridge had greatly increased.
However, apart from that, there was also the addition of a prince. This was something that Huo Ming found hard to accept!
Among the Fire Hawks, Huo Ming's bloodline was the most outstanding. If the Fire Hawk Emperor returned, it was possible that he would be chosen by the Fire Hawk Emperor and be groomed as the next emperor.
However, Yao Yue had beaten him to it. Naturally, Huo Ming was unhappy with Yao Yue.
Although Yao Yue did not guess that far, he understood Huo Ming's hostility. He was too lazy to argue with him.
They were all Great Demons, but Yao Yue could fight with a low-grade Demon King. Naturally, he did not put Huo Ming in his eyes.
Yao Yue sat on Huo Shang's back and sped away from the Jueyao Ridge.
The Old Emperor and He Wei did not have the same treatment. They could only follow behind Yao Yue.
Huo Shang wanted to leave as fast as he could. With his speed, the Old Emperor and He Wei would not be able to catch up. After all, the Fire Hawk Clan's flying speed was very fast.
However, Yao Yue wanted to take care of the Old Emperor and He Wei. He asked Huo Shang to slow down so that they could keep up.
'Xiao Liuzi, take care of yourself. Boss will come back to see you when he has time.' Yao Yue thought to himself as he looked in the direction of the Monkey Ridge.
This trip to the Demon Race was like a dream to Yao Yue. He had gained so much that when he returned to the outside world, he would be able to amaze everyone with a single brilliant feat!
In a short span of two to three months, he had already consecutively leaped through the ranks. This kind of terrifying speed of improvement was indeed tongue-tied!
It had only been slightly more than a year since he had started cultivating. Now that he had reached the realm of a high-grade Origin General, no one would believe it!
However, this was the truth, and no one could doubt it!
However, Yao Yue wasn't so complacent that she could ignore everyone in the world!
He had met the various demon kings and even befriended demon emperors. He knew that there was always someone better than him!
There was no limit to martial arts. He still wanted to make himself stronger. One day, he would go to the Asura Dynasty and rescue his wife.
Under Huo Shang's lead, Yao Yue's journey through the territories of the various Demon Kings was rather peaceful!
Many of the Demon Kings already knew what had happened at Fox Demon Ridge and understood Yao Yue's identity. Naturally, they didn't dare to act rashly and offend the Fire Hawk Emperor!
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to escape death even if they went to the outside world!
Some of the Demon Kings were tactful enough to come out and greet Yao Yue and Huo Shang, respectfully inviting them to their territories as guests.
However, Yao Yue was impatient to return home. He didn't have the mood to stay any longer and politely rejected them all.
About ten days later, after traveling day and night without stopping, they finally arrived at the vicinity of Black Bull Ridge.
Yao Yue couldn't help but laugh at the sky. "Haha, I'm finally out!"
His laughter attracted the disdain of Huo Ming, who wasn't far away.
Old Emperor and He Wei also had a few more happy smiles on their faces. Their nightmare was finally over.
"Your Highness, I can only accompany you up to here. From now on, Huo Ming will be cultivating by your side!" Huo Shang said.
"Father, I won't cultivate with him. I'll go back with you!" Huo Ming said in dissatisfaction.
"Shut up! Are you going to go against the Fire Hawk Emperor's decision?" Huo Shang bellowed at Huo Ming.
Huo Ming cried out in dissatisfaction. Flapping his wings, he said to Yao Yue, "If you can defeat me, I'll follow you!"
Yao Yue shrugged. "Forget it. Huo Shang, you can bring him back."
Yao Yue didn't want to take in a Fire Hawk follower who didn't work for him. Moreover, he didn't lack followers.
"How can that be? This is the Fire Hawk Emperor's order. Please wait a moment, Your Highness," Huo Shang said nervously. He then said to Huo Ming, "If you don't want to follow His Highness, don't return to the clan!"
Huo Shang's tone was very decisive. He was definitely not joking.
Huo Ming said indignantly, "Why? How is he better than me? Didn't the Fire Hawk Emperor take a liking to him?
I can't accept this! "
"Forget it. Since it's the Fire Hawk Emperor's decision, I'll let him follow me!"
Yao Yue hesitated for a moment. He then looked at Huo Ming and said, "If you can't accept this, I can defeat you in one move. Come and try me!"
Yao Yue looked at Huo Ming with disdain. Huo Ming's pride suffered a huge blow.
"That's what you said. Watch carefully!"
Huo Ming's eyes flashed with a sharp glint as he shouted. Then, he turned into a streak of fire and pounced at Yao Yue.
Its pair of eagle claws carried an incomparably sharp aura as it furiously clawed at Yao Yue's chest.
Huo Ming was a high-grade Great Demon, but he wasn't any slower than a peak Great Demon. Moreover, his attack wasn't weak either. Intense flames floated around his talons.
An ordinary high-grade Great Demon wouldn't be able to defend against this attack in time, and a high-grade Origin General of the human race wouldn't be able to withstand it.
The old emperor and He Wei didn't understand why the small Fire Hawk was attacking Yao Yue. They couldn't understand the communication between Yao Yue and the Fire Hawk.
"You think too highly of yourself if you want to compete with me with such strength!"
Yao Yue's eyes flashed with contempt. His body was as still as a mountain as he clawed at the Fire Hawk with lightning-fast speed.
Just as the Fire Hawk's talons were about to reach Yao Yue's chest, Yao Yue caught them.
Huo Ming didn't show any fear. He flapped his wings and pecked at Yao Yue's head with his sharp beak.
This peck could even tear apart the flesh of a thick-skinned Great Demon, let alone Yao Yue's head. He was in danger of having his head broken!
Yao Yue didn't wait for Huo Ming's peck to land. He pulled Huo Ming's body and slammed it into the ground.
Bang!
Huo Ming's large body slammed into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. He screamed in pain.
Just as Huo Ming was about to fly up again, Yao Yue followed him like a shadow. He descended from the sky and stomped on Huo Ming's body angrily. He roared, "You want to fight me with this kind of strength? You're overestimating yourself!
I even dared to kill the princes of the Devil Bats and Heaven Devouring Rats, let alone a mere Fire Hawk. If not for the fact that we are of the same race, I would have stomped you to death already! "
Yao Yue's strength had already been revealed. He had taught Huo Ming a lesson in front of Huo Merchant for two reasons. First, he wanted the father and son to know that he didn't become a prince out of thin air. Second, he wanted to establish his image and subdue Huo Ming.
With Yao Yue's foot on his body, Huo Ming felt as if there was a boulder weighing several thousand kilograms pressing down on him. He couldn't move at all. Moreover, he could clearly sense the terrifying demonic aura emanating from Yao Yue. He could actually feel the suppression of his origin!
The demonic aura behind Yao Yue seemed to have transformed into an Eagle King. He had fused with the Eagle Emperor's blood essence, so he could naturally produce a strand of imperial blood pressure. It had a great suppressive effect on his own kind!
Even Huo Merchant could sense it. He hurriedly flew down from the sky and said, "Your Highness, please show mercy!"
"Hmph, if you dare offend me again, I will kill you!
Now, it's up to you whether you want to stay or leave! "Yao Yue snorted coldly at Huo Ming.
After saying that, he moved his foot away, allowing Huo Ming to regain his freedom.
Huo Ming struggled on the ground a few times before barely managing to fly up. He then lowered his proud head to Yao Yue and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. Huo Ming is willing to follow you for the rest of my life!"
Huo Ming clearly understood Yao Yue's terrifying strength. Yao Yue was not much weaker than his father. Moreover, the suppression of his origin had forced him to submit completely. He would never be disloyal again!
Huo Merchant hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please spare him this time!"
Huo Ming did not understand why the Fire Hawk Emperor wanted him to follow Yao Yue, but he understood that the Fire Hawk Emperor wanted the prince to nurture Huo Ming well. Perhaps, Huo Ming would have a chance to become the next Fire Hawk Emperor in the future.
Yao Yue knew when to stop. He nodded lightly and said, "For the sake of the Fire Hawk Emperor and Huo Merchant, I will forgive you this time. I hope you won't disappoint me in the future!"
"Yes, Your Highness," Huo Ming said respectfully.
"Alright, Huo Merchant, you may return.
I will bring Huo Ming back to Fire Maple Forest in the future! "Yao Yue said to Huo Merchant.
"Alright. Take care, Your Highness!"
Huo Shang said as he glanced at Huo Ming. Then, he flapped his wings and flew into the sky.
After Huo Merchant left, He Wei stepped forward and said to Yao Yue, "Thank you. I will repay you generously in the future!
I will take my leave first! "
Yao Yue waved his hand and said, "I hope you will forget everything you saw."
"I will!"
He Wei nodded solemnly. He then soared into the sky and left in a certain direction.
"I wonder where he came from. It would be great if he could stay in our dynasty and serve us!" The old emperor sighed as he watched He Wei leave.
Yao Yue thought to himself, He is from the Cangxuan Palace. Why would he care about a mere position in the dynasty?
"Old emperor, please wait for a moment. I will escort you back to the dynasty!" Yao Yue said to the old emperor before rushing towards Black Bull Ridge.
"Little Black, let's go home!" Yao Yue shouted towards the ridge.
However, it was not Little Black. Instead, a Crimsonblood Horse King flew out.
"Eh? Why is it your Crimsonblood Horse King?
What did you do to Little Black? "Yao Yue asked.
