I Am Overlord

Chapter 1299: Devil Queen

Xiang Shaoyun had maintained a low profile for a very long time. He no longer intended to continue doing so. With both the Xiang Clan and Tang Zhan supporting him, he would be looked down upon if he remained silent.

"Haha, the ignorant are really courageous," said Di Chuan with a sneer before leaving.

The old woman also left with Yu Caidie. Initially, Yu Caidie wanted to resist, but Xiang Shaoyun signaled to her with his eyes to make her leave. They still needed more time before they could be together officially.

"Gather everyone from the Overlord Legion. Let's drink to our hearts' content!" said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Yes, let's drink!" replied the Overlord Legion people.

Nobody could threaten Xiang Shaoyun's placing in the ranking. This was worth celebrating.

Looking at Xiang Shaoyun, who was in high spirits, Tang Zhan said in a gratified manner, "Brother Zhan will definitely be smiling from ear to ear if he sees how remarkable his son is."

While Xiang Shaoyun was drinking with the Overlord Legion, his name spread throughout the fort. Before long, his name would also resound all over the world. As for Yu Caidie, she had rejoined the Yu Clan's group with the old woman.

This particular Bloodsin City was located in the Western Desert. As for the Yu Clan, they occupied the largest province in the Western Desert. Thus, they also held considerable power within the city. For this expedition, they had sent over many of their members for tempering. Several members of their clan had managed to enter the top-100 ranking, and they were the ones who had the chance to become Saints in the future.

Among the Yu Clan group was an incomparably elegant young woman. She was incredibly beautiful, as though she was the brightest star in the sky. With her boundlessly majestic presence, nobody dared look straight into her eyes.

She was Yu Huayan, an important member of the Yu Clan. The meaning of her name was enchanting and beautiful, and she had a physical appearance that matched her name. Due to her noble bearing, she was also known as the Queen.

As someone half a step into the Rebirth Realm, Queen Yu was no longer a youngster. However, she still looked tender and young, as though the passage of time had failed to leave any trace on her face. Yu Caidie was brought before her. Beside her, the old woman was carefully telling her about all that had happened earlier.

Yu Huayan listened as she slowly played with a flower stalk in her hands, tearing the petals apart one after another. She was incomparably enchanting and beautiful, yet no men would dare to dream of obtaining her.

"Aunt, I will decide on my marriage myself. I do not wish for the clan to interfere in this," said Yu Caidie solemnly.

"Young lady, do not be stubborn! I personally met Di Mie before. He is an outstanding young man much better than Xiang Shaoyun. Moreover, the Di Clan is about to end their seclusion. As a prince of the clan, he has boundless prospects."

"Enough. You may leave. I'll talk to her," said Yu Huayan as she waved her hand.

The old woman did not dare to disobey the command. She bowed before leaving.

Yu Huayan smiled and said, "Caidie, your temper greatly resembles me. You will never change your mind. However, those old fogeys are the ones with the final say on this. Seems like those Di Clan fellows have reached an agreement with them. So long as you marry into the Di Clan, our two clans will split the entire Western Desert among ourselves."

Yu Caidie was stunned. The Western Desert was one of the dominion's nine regions and was an incredibly expansive territory. The Yu Clan had always occupied a single province within the region and had never tried expanding. This time, they were actually planning to work with the Di Clan to conquer the entire Western Desert? If news of this spread, the entire dominion would be shocked.

"What is the Di Clan's background to have such confidence?" asked Yu Caidie.

"Bereaved royals," said Yu Huayan.

Yu Caidie was stunned. Any royal clan was an absolute superpower. A bereaved royal clan was essentially a royal clan that had been removed from power. This Di Clan was clearly one such clan that had decided to come out of hiding.

The current Di Clan might still not be as powerful as the past during their peak, but since they dared to set their eyes on half the Western Desert, it was obvious that they had gathered sufficient strength to share the entire region with the Yu Clan. Nobody would dare underestimate a clan like this. It was no wonder that the Yu Clan planned to marry Yu Caidie to Di Mie.

"I don't care who they are. I'll be making my own decision. Nobody can change my mind. At worst, I'll leave the clan," said Yu Caidie resolutely.

"Hehe. Interesting. I'm getting really curious about the man who can earn such loyalty from you," said Yu Huayan with a smile.

"He is the Overlord reincarnated," said Yu Caidie.

"Xiang Dingtian reincarnated?" Yu Huayan's pupils shrank.

"Yes. You know my identity well. Tell the clan to not force my hand, or what happened during my previous life will repeat. Perhaps things will be even worse this time around," said Yu Caidie with a complicated look in her eyes.

"If history repeats itself, if he still dares to bare his fangs for a woman, I'll support your decision," said Yu Huayan with a slight look of madness in her eyes.

...

At a certain place not far from the fort, a group of people had gathered. There weren't many of them, but each was incredibly strong. Among them was a man in his thirties. He was seated cross-legged atop a boulder with his eyes shut. As he meditated, it was as though he had become one with the world around him, as though he had forgotten about everything around him.

He wasn't exactly handsome, but he had an angular and steadfast face that looked like it was sculpted. Dressed in a dark red robe with a golden dragon embroidered on it, he emanated an incomparably majestic aura. Resting before his knees was a sword decorated with vermilion bird markings. It emanated flame energy that swirled around his body. He was Di Mie, a prince of the Di Clan, ranked second on the Devil Hunting Expedition's ranking.

Di Chuan appeared before him, knelt down respectfully, and said, "Prince, someone else has taken first place."

"Um," replied Di Mie calmly.

"The Yu Clan's Yu Caidie defied the marriage and publicly expressed her favor for Xiang Shaoyun, the person who had taken first place," said Di Chuan.

"Xiang Shaoyun," Di Mie muttered. Before him, a strand of energy wriggled and turned into words, writing Xiang Shaoyun's name in the air. He opened his eyes and lightly blew at the name, scattering the name into nothingness.

"I need someone with the blood of a phoenix. Yu Caidie can only belong to me. Anyone standing in my path will die," said Di Mie murderously.

"Shall I make the arrangements?" asked Di Chuan.

"No. Summon Xue Buyi. It's time he feasted on some blood," said Di Mie.
