Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

Chapter 369 That person... is me

At the moment that question was asked, Sylvia seemed to freeze for just a second.

"Of course I know! I'll be making an official announcement about this very soon!"

For some reason, the practitioners present could detect a faint trace of nervousness and embarrassment in her voice, though it was barely noticeable.

But as they shook their heads and looked at the goddess before them, her face as cold and distant as an ice mountain, everyone dismissed it as their imagination.

After all, this was Goddess Sylvia. How could she possibly...?

Just then, Sylvia spoke again: "All the major sects here can return to your respective sects. In a little while, I will convene a grand assembly.

At that time, aside from addressing the situation with the Sepulcher of the Sacred and the Netherworld, I will also announce a second matter that I have yet to reveal."

Her voice, deliberately cold and aloof as usual, somehow felt... different. The practitioners couldn't quite put their finger on it, but something seemed off.

For a brief moment, some even thought the goddess seemed... cute?

"No way, that's impossible! It must be a mistake!"

Those who had this absurd thought quickly dismissed it.

Anyone could be cute, but the goddess? Absolutely not. There was no way she could ever give off that kind of vibe!

So, no matter how they tried to rationalize it, they could only chalk it up to an illusion.

"But what could this second announcement from the goddess be?"

"No idea, but if it's something she considers as important as the turmoil in the Sepulcher of the Sacred, it's bound to be something earth-shattering!"

"Whoa, now I'm really curious.

I wonder if this second announcement is going to be good news or bad news."

For a moment, many of them couldn't help but ponder, their hearts filled with curiosity about what Sylvia was going to reveal to the world.

"Zephyra, take the other disciples into the Sepulcher of the Sacred. Place the Holy Emperor's body back into the Mystic Realm and do your best to repair the damage inside."

By now, Sylvia had walked over to Zephyra and gently helped her up.

The moment Sylvia touched her arm, Zephyra felt a cool, refreshing energy flow into her body like a stream of water.

This spiritual energy seemed almost sentient, slowly circulating within her.

As the cool sensation spread throughout her body, Zephyra was shocked to realize that all the injuries she had sustained while facing the Holy Emperor Nordain had been completely healed.

Not only that, but as the pure energy washed over her, she felt as though her very constitution had been cleansed and purified. Her entire body felt light and refreshed.

"This feeling is so incredible... as expected of the goddess!"

Standing up again, Zephyra was filled with gratitude and admiration.

Though she didn't show it outwardly, she gave Sylvia a respectful bow. "By your command, Goddess. I will lead the disciples to the Sky Sanctuary immediately."

With that, Zephyra wasted no time, quickly gathering the disciples of the Sky Sanctuary and heading toward the Sepulcher of the Sacred.

With the Sky Sanctuary handling the aftermath inside the Sepulcher, and with Goddess Sylvia present, the other sects didn't dare linger any longer.

"Well then, we'll take our leave. We'll return to our sects and await the message from Goddess Sylvia."

One by one, the various sects bowed deeply to Sylvia.

They had all gathered here after hearing that the seal of the Sepulcher of the Sacred might break, potentially threatening the entire continent of Elant.

By now, the number of sects gathered outside the Sepulcher far exceeded the few dozen that had initially followed Sylvia inside.

Nearly every sect of any significance across the land had come, including some demonic sects that had long remained hidden in the shadows.

But at this moment, faced with Sylvia's cold and imposing figure, and grateful for her efforts in quelling the chaos within the Sepulcher, every practitioner present wore expressions of deep respect and awe. They bowed low, their hearts filled with reverence.

"Hmm, I'll be heading back to Sky Sanctuary soon as well. In a few days, I'll make an announcement to all the sects involved in the Sepulcher of the Sacred incident, regarding both the Sepulcher and the second matter I mentioned earlier."

Sylvia gave a slight nod.

With her permission, the practitioners from the various sects finally relaxed, stood up, and began leading their groups back, riding the wind as they departed.

The long, grueling battle at the Sepulcher of the Sacred, which had lasted for over half a month, had finally come to an end.

As the practitioners from the different sects left, the Sky Sanctuary members split into two groups.

One group, led by the Holy Envoy Zephyra, headed into the Sepulcher of the Sacred to deal with the aftermath of the battle.

The other group stayed with Sylvia, preparing to escort the goddess back to Sky Sanctuary.

Timothy gave Sylvia a faint smile, exchanging a glance with her before looking toward the direction of the Sepulcher of the Sacred.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Sylvia, understanding the meaning behind his gaze, nodded slightly.

The silent exchange between the two was about the poor souls still trapped behind the door deep within the Sepulcher: Holy Maiden Aeliana and Azura.

Poor Aeliana and Azura. Although the Holy Emperor's corpse hadn't been able to break through the door, so they were never in any real danger, they had still been stuck there for half a month, listening to the terrifying sounds of battle outside. That must've left them with some serious psychological scars.

"Especially Azura... wait, no."

Timothy shook his head with a helpless smile, thinking about how timid Azura could be.

But then again, both Aeliana and Azura were probably equally scared, huddled behind the door, trembling.

"Timothy, why aren't you going back to Sky Sanctuary with the goddess? What are you doing here?"

At that moment, Elder Turner noticed Timothy heading toward the Sepulcher of the Sacred and couldn't help but ask, a bit puzzled.

"Uh, well..."

Timothy scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

After coughing awkwardly, he finally said, "Actually, the Holy Maiden and Azura are still waiting for me inside the Sepulcher."

"They're still waiting for you? But hasn't everything in the Sepulcher already calmed down? Why haven't they left yet?"

Elder Turner looked utterly confused, as if a giant question mark had appeared over his head.

Timothy let out a long sigh. "It's a long story, but basically, the Holy Maiden and Azura are still trapped inside the Sepulcher and can't get out."

This time, Elder Turner's face was filled with complete disbelief.

"They're still trapped inside the Sepulcher? How is that possible? The Holy Maiden is a Holy Emperor-level powerhouse! Who could possibly have the ability to trap her?"

As soon as he said that, Elder Turner noticed Timothy looking at him.

And in Timothy's eyes, there was a hint of... well, the kind of look you give someone when they're being a bit of an idiot.

"That person... is me."

With a long sigh, Timothy confessed, leaving Elder Turner completely dumbfounded.

Forget about how Timothy had managed to pull off something so ridiculous—locking both the Holy Maiden and Azura inside the Sepulcher of the Sacred.

Was this... was this even something a normal person could do?!
