The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 200: We Humbly Invite the Demon Emperor

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... it hurts..."

Having her cheeks pinched and twisted by five sisters, Phantom cried out in pain. She didn’t know what she said wrong to make almost all her sisters torture her like this.

"I thought your skin was too thick to feel pain. Turns out you can feel something, huh?"

Envious Demon King pulled the hardest. She had always been particularly jealous of Phantom’s slightly superior beauty, so now that she had the opportunity, of course, she wouldn’t let her off easily.

"Who are you trying to fool? You talk as if only you’re the sacrifice, as if the rest of us deserve it!"

The Furious Demon King couldn’t hold her temper. If it wasn’t for her sisterly bond, she might have slapped Phantom already.

"You sacrificed yourself, oh how noble! But have you thought that you’re the seventh one among us to be sacrificed!"

The big loli, usually bullied by her sisters, finally caught a chance to retaliate and wouldn’t miss it, especially since Lust sister’s cheeks are as soft as hers, making it fun to pinch.

"I didn’t mean that!"

Phantom was being pulled so much that even her words were leaking. Luckily, the Sloth sister was fast asleep, or else with six sisters pulling in six directions, she’d be speechless.

"I don’t care. Since you’re the source of chaos, the task of welcoming back the Demon Emperor is yours. We don’t care how you do it; seduce or exhaust him, just make sure we see him by the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, it’s hard to fool those outside."

With Greed Demon King’s words, she released her grip, and the other demon kings followed suit, letting Phantom go for the moment. Now that Celestial Destiny City was under lockdown by the Light Judge, only they, the original seven sisters, had the confidence to sneak in without being noticed.

Coincidentally, Phantom was the best among them at stealth, truly living up to her name, making her the perfect candidate for this mission.

"I’ll go, I promise I’ll complete the mission. If I don’t, then I won’t come back!"

As soon as Phantom finished speaking, the hands came at her again, turning her cheeks bright red.

"You must complete the mission! If you don’t, you’ll be punished to stay in the Goblin Nest for a month!"

The Furious Demon King patted Phantom’s head angrily, deliberately using her greatest fear to scare her.

Although the Goblin Nest wasn’t just filled with goblins but also sister monsters, and those lowly goblins wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on a demon king, just the environment filled with male energy would suffocate Phantom with despair. Forget a month, half an hour might be too much for her.

"If I didn’t have to stay here to manage things, I’d go with you. After all, with Lynn gone, I share a big part of the responsibility."

Ilya looked at the terrified Phantom and couldn’t help but frown. Her beautiful face was full of frustration. She was extremely reluctant to reach this point, but the sisters seemed quite willing.

They didn’t even consider other methods, jumping straight to sacrificial solutions, leaving her, the big sister, no choice but to agree with their strategy.

"No need to trouble you; you aren’t exactly persuasive and might end up angering Lynn."

Phantom waved her hand, indicating that she didn’t need the company of the big sister to negotiate with Lynn. Her mouth wasn’t made for persuading people; it’s better if she just stays and manages things with Liss. After all, her reputation as the first among Demon Kings was still somewhat well-regarded.

"I’ll set off immediately. His Demon Mirror still has one use left; I’ll use it to go to his home and then use my Demon Mirror to bring him back."

With that, Phantom attempted to manipulate the Demon Mirror left by Lynn. Although the mirror had been authenticated by him, now separated by the Great World, with her status as a legitimate member of the Seven Great Demon Kings, her affinity with the Demon Mirror was extremely high. She could briefly seize control and use it.

However, to everyone’s surprise, no matter how much magic power Phantom injected into Lynn’s Demon Mirror, it remained completely unresponsive.

"It shouldn’t be. With Lynn across the Great World, he can still maintain complete and inviolable ownership of the Demon Mirror?"

Even Greed Demon King, the most knowledgeable about treasures, was baffled.

Phantom wasn’t a rookie Demon King. Even if her bloodline wasn’t particularly pure, her magic power and throne were solid. With her compatibility with the Demon Mirror, she should be able to activate it even across both ends of the Demon Realm.

Unless the owner of the Demon Mirror was nearby, of course, she couldn’t seize control of the treasure in front of him, even if her power surpassed the owner’s.

"Demon Emperor... how about you reveal yourself?"

Except for the asleep Sloth Demon King and the utterly puzzled big loli, the few demon kings exchanged glances. Greed Demon King, standing as their representative, respectfully invited the Demon Emperor to show himself.

Lynn: "..."

A deathly silence lasted for a whole half-minute, under the watchful gaze of almost all the demon kings. A space rift that even a Demon King-level expert wouldn’t notice began to slowly expand.

The space rift was initially as thin as one percent of a hair strand. Forget seeing it with the naked eye; even using the Celestial Eye, it was likely invisible.

Unless one scanned it comprehensively with precise soul power, even a Celestial God might miss Lynn hiding in the hand-sized space rift.

"Ahaha, I left in a bit of a hurry earlier; it felt inappropriate, so I came back."

As the space rift expanded to the size that allowed a person to pass through, Lynn emerged, scratching his head and laughing it off, regardless of whether anyone believed him.

Back again?

You didn’t take the Demon Mirror, nor did you activate it, yet you traveled bodily from Miracle World to the Demon Realm?

If you had such power, would you be scared off by a mere two hundred Demon King-level experts?

This is something not even a Demon God could pull off. Are you playing at being a Divine King?

"Demon Emperor, assuming you’ve just returned, we’ve already discussed things. All seven Joyful Witches and the Seven Great Demon Kings will ally with you. What do you think?"

As the head of the Seven Great Demon Kings and spokesperson for the seven sisters, Ilya decisively stepped forward, negotiating a new cooperation deal with Lynn.

No need for Phantom to intervene. Even if she couldn’t persuade, with such terms, isn’t it a done deal?
