Chapter 2417: Chapter 2422: Identity Revealed

As Xia Liu made his appearance.

All the demon cultivators participating in the Martial Combat Betrothal Contest suddenly saw the light.

Because Xia Liu simply did not have the qualifications to compete with them!

It was evident in the regretful expression on Fugui’s face.

If Xia Liu had the foundation of a Demon Infant.

With such vast knowledge.

He would surely stand out in the upcoming trials.

Becoming a son-in-law of Azure Blue Palace would be possible then.

The pity was, no matter how excellent he was, the King Lan would not approve of a demon with no cultivation.

However, King Lan’s demeanor was calm.

Though there was no aura on Xia Liu’s body.

His physique and even his meridians were distinctly different from demon cultivators.

Also different from ordinary demons.

For such a scenario to occur.

There was only one possibility, he could be a Demon Lord!

Furthermore possessing an extremely powerful Demon Body.

"Are you Liu Xia?"

King Lan thus inquired.

"It’s me."

"How did you pass the registration trials without any foundation or cultivation? Don’t tell me it’s true."

King Lan was being ambiguous.

If his guess was wrong.

The punishment this time would involve more than just Xia Liu.

"If I had no cultivation foundation, I would naturally be unable to pass the registration trials."

"Oh? To conceal your cultivation before me, you’re the first!"

As he said this, King Lan’s mind flashed to scenes from a few days ago.

It shouldn’t be the same person, he thought.

King Lan pondered, unleashing the Demon Might into the space, pressing toward Xia Liu.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

The space around Xia Liu was compressed to the point of bursting, unable to withstand the pressure of a Demon Lord Ninth Tier.

"Father! Why are you doing this! Even if he has no cultivation, even if he has intentions upon entering here, you shouldn’t act like this!"

Lan Lianxue could not bear it.

Even if Xia Liu cheated, treating him so violently was unreasonable.

"Lianxue, do you have feelings for him?"

...

With this question, Lan Lianxue fell silent.

She truly didn’t understand what had gotten into her father.

To ask such a question.

Seeing Lan Lianxue cease her fuss.

King Lan continued to look at Xia Liu.

"Reveal your cultivation; I want to know your foundation."

To not expose himself in the face of life and death.

Xia Liu’s courage was acknowledged by King Lan.

He was curious as to what level of cultivation Xia Liu truly held.

Even facing the Demon Lord Ninth Tier version of himself, he remained composed!

"Hmm."

Xia Liu lifted the restriction, and suddenly, ancient Demon Might enveloped the entire place.

The strength of the aura reached Demon Lord First Tier!

"So terrifying!"

"He’s actually a Demon Lord!"

"Oh heavens! A Demon Lord participating in the Martial Combat Betrothal Contest means we likely have no chance."

"Does it have to be this ruthless!"

...

The people below the stage were dumbfounded.

How can they possibly compete now?

Xia Liu not only possessed boundless knowledge.

But even his cultivation was fearsome to such an extent.

If his appearance were a little better.

We might never stand a chance.

"This Demon Might! It’s you!"

King Lan’s attitude directly turned severe.

Simultaneously.

The Demon Palm struck toward Xia Liu.

Bang bang bang!!!

The space was instantly shattered; the domineering Demon Might rushed at Xia Liu.

Though this was merely an ordinary strike from King Lan.

Yet the terrifying power contained within.

Even Demon Lord Seventh Tier experts dared not casually withstand it.

Boom!

But Xia Liu showed no sign of panic.

With a flick of the palm, dividing Yin and Yang, refining creation, he displayed Shangqing Ultimate Technique with Demon Essence.

"Combat Rotation!"

With a sweeping hand, Xia Liu forcefully countered King Lan’s attack.

Then, Demon Essence surged behind him.

"Stellar Shifting!"

Rumble!!!

Demon Might erupted from Xia Liu’s back.

Directly exploding the Void, unveiling a twisted dazzling display.

This scene unfolded too swiftly.

The crowd hadn’t even had time to react.

The terrifying power exerted by a Demon Lord Ninth Tier was actually caught by Xia Liu!

Everyone was utterly stupefied.

Could this be any stronger?

After all, he was only of Demon Lord First Tier foundation.

"Interesting!"

King Lan stood with hands behind his back.

Xia Liu’s performance was beyond his expectations.

Originally, he thought Xia Liu would submit to his power.

Yet, he effortlessly countered!

Not the kind of strength a Demon Lord First Tier cultivator should have.

"A few days ago, was it you who secretly infiltrated the Azure Blue Palace back garden?"

In front of countless people, King Lan straightforwardly asked.

"What! Someone dared to secretly infiltrate the Azure Blue Palace’s back garden!"

"This can’t be possible, right?"

"Azure Blue Palace is one of the supreme four palaces; even a Demon Lord cannot infiltrate it, how did this person manage?"

...

King Lan’s words once again rendered the crowd shocked.

If Xia Liu truly infiltrated the Azure Blue Palace’s back garden.

Then my chance might come!

After all, no one would want their future son-in-law to have once sneaked into their house like a thief.

"Hmm, it’s me."

Xia Liu readily admitted.

"Oh! Why did you infiltrate Azure Blue Palace?"

King Lan suddenly developed a keen interest.

Because Xia Liu was simply too outstanding.

If he could give a reasonable explanation, perhaps he wouldn’t hold it against him.

"I’m new to the Western Region and heard about King Lan’s Martial Combat Contest. Yet, I hadn’t seen the young lady, so I wanted to take a look."

"Arrogant!"

The word exploded in the minds of the crowd below the stage.

Xia Liu was simply too arrogant.

Just because he hadn’t seen Lan Lianxue.

He actually infiltrated Azure Blue Palace, successfully!

And in the end, even managed to evade capture by King Lan!

This demonstrated his formidable strength.

"After you saw my daughter, did you then decide to participate in the Martial Combat Contest?"

"Sort of."

Because Xia Liu knew Lan Lianxue was not truly willing to see this event through.

Thus, Xia Liu lent assistance, helping her avoid potential misfortune.

"Very well! You’ve succeeded in intriguing me. Next, unveil the black robe."

King Lan was keen to see what kind of bold and fearless face was hidden beneath this black robe.

"If I unveil my appearance and Young Lady Lianxue is satisfied, could I directly win?"

"Haha, you’re the demon cultivator with the highest cultivation in this contest. If Lianxue is pleased, this event can naturally be concluded."

King Lan was frank about this point.

Because no one dared to question.

Xia Liu’s strength was endlessly powerful, even capable of dissipating attacks from a Demon Lord Ninth Tier unscathed.

Who among the Demon Infant cultivators present could challenge him?

"Alright."

Under the watchful eyes of all, Xia Liu slowly lifted the black robe.

Instantly.

A breathtakingly handsome face appeared in view.

Lan Lianxue and Yi Fei’s pupils contracted sharply.

Frozen in place, unsure how to express their inner excitement.

Xia Liu!!!

It was Xia Liu!

Countless days and nights of anticipation, countless days and nights of breakdowns.

Today, Lan Lianxue and Yi Fei finally saw Xia Liu again.

Yet over these two years, the words they wanted to say were stuck, perhaps unsure how to start speaking...
