Chapter 2290: There is No Need

The clan masters were shocked. After all, there were armies all around them, and the three of them were the most powerful among the Demon race, and yet they hadn’t sensed this person before he spoke at all. There was no way they wouldn’t be shocked.
Suolun Shi, who was bound atop the platform, was extremely happy to hear the voice. “This voice… It’s big brother Zu! Big brother Zu!”
The three clan masters had already followed the direction of the sound and looked into the sky. They saw a figure suddenly appear in the distance; he walked over slowly, as if there was a set of transparent steps in the sky.
The entire battlefield erupted into a commotion. Everyone who could appear on this battlefield was strong enough to be the main character of their own stories. Even disregarding their strength, their sight was definitely good. If not, they would’ve already died in a ditch in some battlefield elsewhere.
They had seen people who could fly before. Once humans reached the master rank, they gained that ability. Some from the Fiend races were able to do so a bit earlier. But whether they were human or fiend, the way they flew in the sky was not as leisurely as the way this man moved, as if the sky was his own stage.
When they first saw him, he seemed to be a faint speck on the horizon, but after just a few steps, even though every step didn’t seem to be that large and he was walking in a carefree manner, he arrived in the blink of an eye.
There was no lack of female warriors in the Demon race. When they saw him, they couldn't help but blow a whistle in admiration. Their eyes were full of excitement.
This man is so handsome!
The Demon race had always been famous for having attractive men and women, but the Demon race’s men were usually more pale-skinned and were more like ‘pretty boys’, making them a bit feminine. After getting used to seeing that kind of man, and then seeing this man who resembled a chiseled statue, how could the women not be excited?
Meanwhile, the male warriors were all getting a bit jealous.
Fine, he is handsome, and the way he’s walking casually in the air makes us want to cry from jealousy! But your reactions don’t need to be that exaggerated, right?
All of them looked as if they were about to just sit down and give up.
…
“Is this guy always such a showoff?” The same amazement was happening on the flying ship.
Zu An’s group had headed straight for Suolun City. His divine sense could now cover an extremely large area, which was why he had been able to sense the danger here ahead of time. The women had stayed behind on the flying ship to steer it while he went ahead, but Xie Daoyun drew a Mirror Image Talisman to cast what was happening in the distant battlefield above the flying ship.
When she saw the manner in which Zu An had shown up and the crazy shouts of the Demon race's young ladies, Jiang Luofu finally couldn't help but say mockingly, “What’s wrong with the Demon race’s women? Have they never seen a man before or something? Look at how scandalous they're all acting.”
Yun Yuqing couldn't help but smile. “If I recall correctly, this was also how he appeared when he rushed to the Jiang clan to save you, right? He probably always shows himself like this. You were also really excited back then, so why do you now feel as if the Demon race’s young ladies are exaggerating?”
Jiang Luofu blushed, but as someone well versed in the law, she was good at talking and quickly said, “My clan was in a difficult situation, so that’s why I was excited when I saw him, no matter how he appeared. Those young ladies who are screaming excitedly are clearly the aggressors and not in a terrible situation at all. Doesn’t that mean this reaction is just a superficial one because of looks?”
Ji Xiaoxi couldn't help but say, “But big brother Zu is really handsome, and the way he appears matches his style.”
“What Xiaoxi says is correct.” Xie Daoyun smiled, but she couldn't help but sigh at Xiaoxi’s innocence. Everything just sounded completely natural, and no one would think anything else from what she said. Meanwhile, she was too embarrassed to praise Zu An in front of other women.
“He is indeed really handsome.” Yun Yuqing also had an infatuated smile.
When she saw that all of the women around her had the same look, Jiang Luofu thought, Is that guy really that deadly? Is his allure toward women that lethal?
Then, Yun Yuqing also snapped out of her daze. She began to explain the various forces of the Demon race to hide her lovestruck behavior.
“The one in front is my second uncle. In the past, he was jealous of my father…”
…
Meanwhile, Zu An arrived on the battlefield. With a casual scan of the situation, he noticed the bound Suolun Shi and the raging flames below. He couldn't help but feel a bit stunned.
Is this The Legend of the Condor Heroes or something…
The clan masters had already seen Zu An before. The soldiers below who had never seen him were one thing, but they knew who he was.
“Why is the regent here?” The Yun Clan Master was shocked. He seemed to have said some bad things about Zu An just now, and he wondered if the latter had heard it. He said, “Please excuse me for not going out to meet you, regent.”
“What is going on here? For now, release Princess Suolun first.” Zu An gave the burning platform a look. The Yun Clan Master's words pulled him out of his memories of his previous world.
Suolun Xing couldn't help but become excited.
Now that the regent is here, Shi’er can be saved, and the entire Suolun clan will survive!
The other three clan masters’ expressions changed. “Regent, this is something that has to do with our Demon race’s internal affairs.”
“Oh?” Zu An raised his brows. “Could it be that my word is no longer that useful these days?”
“We naturally respect the King Court and the regent, but our various races are largely self-governed. This is also the agreement that the successive Fiend Emperors and various leaders have agreed on for thousands of years. Thus, we will be troubling the regent to not take much interest in our internal affairs. Otherwise, the balance maintained for thousands of years might be easily broken, and the confidence of the various races shaken. That would probably not be good for the Fiend races.”
The expressions of everyone from the Suolun clan immediately froze. They knew that was correct. The races were only loyal to the King Court in name. They worshiped the Fiend Emperor and accepted his assignments. But at the same time, the King Court gave the various races a lot of freedom and courtesy. It had never interfered with the various races’ internal affairs to prevent powerful retaliation that could completely destroy the political balance.
Suolun Xing felt despair take him.
Could it be that the heavens really want the Suolun clan to end today?
After all, if one was given hope followed by disappointment, the feeling would only be worse than the initial pain.
“What a great accusation you're putting forth here.” Zu An sneered. He waved his hand toward the platform, and a gust of wind blew.
Even the three clan masters with their high cultivations almost lost their footing. They all used their ki and just barely maintained their balance. Meanwhile, the flames below were instantly blown out.
“Hurry and capture the Suolun girl!” the Yun Clan Master hurriedly shouted.
The moment he turned around, however, he was completely stunned. There were only severed ropes left on the pole, and Suolun Shi was gone. She was already at Zu An’s side.
The women on the flying ship felt their hearts beating nervously. Only now did they sigh in relief.
Thank goodness he's only holding her arm so she can stand next to him. He’s not hugging that woman in his arms.
“Big sister Yun, what's the situation with this Princess Suolun? Are you close to her?” Ji Xiaoxi couldn't help but ask.
The other women immediately perked up their ears. Yun Yuqing’s expression grew strange. “I only know that she is the Suolun clan’s beloved daughter, known for her beauty and talent, but I am not close to her. After all, I usually stay on the human side.”
…
Suolun Shi was already really excited even though she wasn’t being carried in Zu An’s arms. As she looked at him from the side, she became starry-eyed.
The female warriors were all envious, wishing to be in her place. If they were in despair and such a handsome man saved them, their reactions would probably be even crazier than hers right now, right?
The Yun Clan Master was definitely not in the mood to think about love and gave Zu An a deep look instead. “Is the regent determined to break the tacit understanding between the King Court and the various races? Do you insist on interfering with the Demon race’s affairs?”
Zu An said indifferently, “There’s no need for you to put those labels on me. Princess Suolun is my friend, which is already enough reason in itself.”
“Just friendship alone is enough for you to outrageously interfere with the Demon race’s internal affairs? I fear that the King Court won’t agree once they find out,” the Yun Clan Master said gravely.
Suolun Shi quickly said, “Big brother Zu, this is already no longer a matter of the internal affairs of the Demon race. I suspect that they're colluding with the alien monsters. This involves the survival of the entire Fiend races!” She didn’t want big brother Zu’s reputation to be tarnished because of her. She naturally wanted to speak up for him.
Aboard the flying ship in the distance, Jiang Luofu nodded. This princess was intelligent after all, immediately providing Zu An with a justified reason for his actions.
“You lowly woman, you’re speaking venomous slander!” The Yun Clan Master was furious.
The other two clan masters also spoke up in agreement.
“Niece, you cannot slander us with such crimes for the sake of your own safety!”
“Regent, you absolutely cannot listen to what she says. Her actions are merely that of a cornered dog driven to desperate action!”
Suolun Shi’s entire body shook. She was about to explain to Zu An when she saw his warm smile in return. He said, “You don’t have to say any more. I understand.”
In that instant, Suolun Shi’s resentment and anger vanished into thin smoke.
He understands me…
When he saw the two look at each other with such affection, the Yun Clan Master’s brows twitched. He said in a serious tone, “I believe that this matter should be reported to the King Court and we should let them make a decision.”
“There is no need for that.” Zu An paused for a moment before continuing, “Because I have the final say in the King Court.”
