Chapter 1160: Forced out
After a while, there were looks of disbelief that were on the faces of the ones that were at this banquet.
After all, they just couldn’t believe that two of the Eight Kings, the Fire Fist King and the Poison King would actually come to a wedding like this. Even if Lin Fan, who was their new disciple was here, it didn’t seem like they would take time out of their busy schedules just to come to this wedding.
Only that was shattered when the two of them walked in.
This was the territory of the Sacred Demon Empire, an empire that was under the Heavenly Demon Sect.
That meant that this was a place where those that were deeply involved in the Heavenly Demon Sect would be.
Since they were deeply involved in the Heavenly Demon Sect, they would know what the Fire Fist King and the Poison King looked like.
Even without that, it would have been impossible to fake the aura that was being released by the two of them as they walked in. Unless it was one of the Eight Kings, it was impossible for them to release this kind of aura.
Still, they couldn’t believe that two of the Eight Kings would actually come to a place like this.
The Fire Fist King and the Poison King didn’t seem to care about the stir that they were causing. They just looked around once before their eyes fell onto Lin Fan and they started walking in his direction.
But as they were walking over, the Fire Fist King suddenly asked, “Is something going on? Why does the mood seem strange?”
The Poison King gave a nod of agreement before saying, “Right, it feels like everyone seems to be surrounding our disciple for some reason. Is our disciple being bullied?”
Everyone couldn’t help trembling when they heard this.
After all, the protective tone that was in the Poison King’s voice made it very clear what he was implying.
As members of the Heavenly Demon Sect, they naturally knew the power that the Eight Kings possessed.
So they naturally wouldn’t dare to do anything to the disciple of one of the Eight Kings when they were present. Not to mention someone who was the disciple of two of the Eight Kings in the first place.
Everyone quickly shook their heads to deny the accusation that the Poison King was making.
But to their surprise…
“I’m just kidding in the first place. Why is everyone being so serious and tense about this?” The Poison King suddenly said with a faint smile on his face.
The Fire Fist King nodded in agreement as he said, “Right, it’s almost as if they have a guilty conscience or something.”
Everyone couldn’t help giving a gulp when they heard this before slowly turning to look at Deng You who had just been accusing Mu Bao Bao.
Deng You hadn’t said anything after the Fire Fist King and the Poison King arrived.
Even if she wanted to say something, it wasn’t as if there was anything that she could say to the two of them. If she were to continue with her accusations, then it might really be as they said.
But to Deng You’s surprise, Deng Tong suddenly stepped forward to say, “Two Sovereigns, we were just concerned about the wellbeing of the Junior Sovereign.”
When Deng Tong spoke, the two of them immediately narrowed their eyes to look at him. At the same time, everyone else who was watching couldn’t help looking at Deng Tong as if they thought that he was crazy.
Still, even with everyone looking at him like this, Deng Tong didn’t panic.
He just calmly looked at the Fire Fist King and the Poison King who were looking at him, as if he was waiting for a response from them.
After a long moment of silence passed, the Poison King finally asked, “Alright, I’ll bite. Tell me, what do you mean by this?”
The Fire Fist King raised his fist that suddenly lit up with flames before he said, “You should know the consequences of lying to the two of us.”
Everyone couldn’t help taking a step away when they felt the heat that came from the FIre Fist King. It wasn’t just the heat alone that was coming from the flames that made them take a step back, it was also the power that came from it.
This was anything but a normal flame.
Even though Deng Tong tried to remain where he had been, he couldn’t help taking a step back when he felt the pressure from the flames.
After taking that step back, he bowed his head to say, “The one that is beside the Junior Sovereign is someone that has been chased out of our Deng Family. For the Junior Sovereign to come back with this person, it’s clear that the Junior Sovereign is being lied to and manipulated. We are only hoping that the Junior Sovereign will trust the Deng Family to handle this matter on our own.”
The Fire Fist King and the Poison King turned to look at Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao after hearing this.
There were no expressions on their faces as they looked at the two of them, but everyone couldn’t help feeling tense seeing this happen.
But then the Poison King and Fire Fist King suddenly broke out in smiles which made them all confused.
Deng Tong felt that something was off, so he quickly bowed down and said, “Our Deng Family has been loyal to the Heavenly Demon Sect for generations, all we do is for the Heavenly Demon Sect. I hope that on account of this, the two Sovereigns will show magnanimity to the Deng Family.”
At this point, it was almost as if Deng Tong was using the Deng Family to pressure them.
It was just that the Fire Fist King and the Poison King didn’t seem to care about any of this. Instead, they just turned back to look at Deng Tong with the same smiles on their faces.
“You don’t know who she is, do you?” The Poison King said with an amused look on his face.
Deng Tong and Deng You looked completely confused when they heard this since they could hear the implications that were behind the Poison King’s words. Yet for the Poison King to say something at a time like this definitely wasn’t good for them.
Before they could say anything, the Fire Fist King suddenly said, “She’s the empress of the Mu Empire.”
There were still confused looks that were on their faces when they heard this.
After all, this didn’t really mean anything to them.
It wasn’t that they didn’t know what the Mu Empire was. Since they had been trying to deal with Deng Mei’er the entire time, they knew about Mu Huang’s connection to the Mu Empire.
It wasn’t as if this was something that was actually meaningful since the Mu Empire was a far off empire that had been previously controlled by the righteous sects. Even now, it had just fallen under the control of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Seeing the confused looks on their faces, the Fire Fist King looked even more amused as he said, “We recently designated the Mu Empire as the territory of our disciple. So is it really that strange that she was with him? She was brought here specifically by him.”
Shocked looks appeared on Deng Tong and Deng You’s face.
Once matters had reached this point, it was impossible for them not to understand what was happening.
No matter how they looked at it, it was clear that they had been set up…
All of this was a trap for them and the one that had set it up was the one that they were trying to ’look out’ for.
Now they realized that they should have tried to take care of Mu Bao Bao ahead of this. If she had been taken out, then it would have been easier to handle this matter.
But now…they had completely fallen for their trap.
“I…this…” Deng Tong looked like he wanted to think of something to say, but it was as if his mind just couldn’t turn at this point. It was clear that he had been completely shocked by what happened and just couldn’t think properly at this point.
Even if he wanted to say something, just what could he say?
The other side were two of the Eight Kings.
Was he qualified to say anything to them?
The Fire Fist King and the Poison King weren’t interested in how Deng Tong would react. The only thing that they were waiting for was to see if someone would step out at this point.
After all, there was only one person in the entire Deng Family that was qualified to actually speak to him.
And even then, he was only qualified to speak to them from an inferior position.
“That’s enough out of you. You’ve disgraced our Deng Family enough.”
When this voice rang out, everyone couldn’t help letting out a sigh of relief.
That was because they all knew who was stepping forward.
Since this person was stepping forward, it seemed that this matter had been settled.
The only ones that seemed disappointed and even anxious about hearing this voice were Deng Tong and Deng You. Well, as well as the groom that had been silent the entire time.
This person’s appearance meant that it was all over for them.
The one that had been forced to step forward was the ancestor of the Deng Family, Deng Ying.
