Rong Qianzi's reaction was not unexpected by Gu Zhongyou. Since a matter has reached a dead end and is unacceptable no matter how it is handled, the only way left is to continue to delay.

Worshiping ancestors is a perfect excuse. Since there is such a big event as the return of the prince, it is very natural to pay homage to ancestors and ask them for their opinions. No one can say anything else.

At the same time, ancestor worship is a very important ceremony. You need to choose a good and auspicious day, prepare sacrifices, and follow many extremely complicated procedures. It is the kind of thing that can be delayed as long as you want.

But Gu Zhongyou actually didn't care. He had never considered that Rong Qianzi would welcome the prince back obediently, so that the prince who was controlled by the Night King and others could ascend to the throne of the Demon King.

The tree man's examination of Mu Chengsi did not take too long, only half an hour. Rong Qianzi finished the transmission hastily, and the whole room naturally broke up unhappy. Gu Zhongyou, Mu Chengsi, Hongye,

The three of them were sitting across from each other in a carriage that could seat four people. Lan Ruoshuang had already left early.

The night was not yet deep at this time, and it was just the beginning of the lanterns. Although the city was still besieged by the crazy red-haired baboons, the city was no longer tense and depressed. It is generally believed that the beast tide will subside in about ten days, and the crowds in the streets and alleys will disappear.

The feasting and feasting began to make the night scene lively again, with more and more people coming and going every day.

Gu Zhongyou closed the car curtain and the lights in the car flickered. He glanced at Mu Chengsi and said, "Since their plan has not changed, we will act separately as planned. I have always been relieved about your junior sister.

It’s just that your side is extremely important, so you must be careful.”

After Mu Chengsi came out of the city lord's palace, his whole person's spirit took on a new look. Not only did his back straighten up, but his eyes shone with a domineering light, changing his previous timid attitude in front of this old man from the Gu family.

He answered without hesitation:

"Don't worry, Master Zhong You, there will never be any mistakes on my part."

In his mind, he is already the Demon King. But he cannot make everyone surrender with an empty name. The higher the position, the more he has to make actual achievements. He has no intention of making people surrender.

He expressed his determination without hesitation, then opened the door curtain and jumped out of the vehicle silently.

Hong Ye glanced at the door curtain that was still shaking and said disapprovingly: "This younger generation of yours is just an illusion and exaggerates. If there is any accident during the attack on Mian'e Mountain this time, the first one will happen to me."

Gu Zhongyou laughed and said: "So I deliberately leave this matter to him. He doesn't have to really succeed, even if it just takes a while, it will be enough. You don't need to underestimate him too much. This time I Gu

The clan has high hopes for him and even gave him an immortal aura."

"Tsk, tsk, what a waste!" Hongye shook his head repeatedly. However, although things like immortal breath have incredible power, they are only disposable consumables. They are used as temporary supplements for people who actually have no ability.

Also just right.

…

"Damn it, I've never eaten anything so delicious." Gouzhu made a squeaking sound in his mouth. He waved the knife in his hand unceremoniously and stuffed the ancient monster meat on the plate in front of him into his mouth.

This meal was much later than he expected. Lei Yan just asked him to wait to go to Fengyue Tower with Ji Yan and the others for dinner, but did not say how long he would have to wait. Dinner time had already passed, and another full hour passed.

, it was almost Chen time, and he was already dizzy with hunger. Only then did Lei Yan finally receive a message from the city lord. The three of them returned to the city through the secret passage under the protective tower and arrived at Fengyue Tower.

Although the main and deputy array masters and the steward Lei Yan were not in the tower during this period, the pure sun restrictions on the ninth floor of the protective tower were fully deployed. Even if there was a large group of red-haired baboons attacking, it would be impossible to defeat the nine-layer defense.

Ji Yan will feel it if any layer of defense is attacked. At that time, he will immediately use the big teleportation talisman and return to the top floor of the Sky-piercing Tower in an instant.

This cannot be said to be foolproof. But this meal is related to how many blood spirit stones he can get, and he will come no matter what. What's more, the risk of the beast tide breaking out at night is very small.

Gouzhu was not worried about what would happen to the Thorny Sky Tower, but he was careful about his own safety. Even if a large amount of blood spirit stones were hung in front of his nose and dangled, he would first look at the front, back, left, and right before considering whether to take a small step forward.

He made an agreement with Tong Yao, Mu Mu and others who were still guarding the city that if there was any danger, he would contact them immediately using the sound transmission jade slips. Even if there was no danger, he would take the initiative to contact them every two quarters of an hour using the sound transmission jade slips.

If this contact disappeared inexplicably, Fengyue Tower was only three or four miles away from where they were guarding the city. Tong Yao could reach it almost instantly due to his cultivation in Zifu.

There is nothing abnormal in the entire Fengyue Tower. From what he can see with his vision, there are no abnormal spiritual lines and no formations are deployed. The blood refining elder Tongfeng, the city lord Kapok and others did not release their energy wantonly or deliberately restrain themselves.

His consciousness fluctuated. Gou Zhu didn't believe that he was enough for these experts to stage such a large Hongmen Banquet to deal with him, so he walked in with confidence.

The three-story Fengyue Tower seemed to have been reserved. The first and second floors were empty. There was only a private room on the third floor with five or six tables. There were more people than Gouzhu expected.

Although among ordinary people in the demon world, Gou Zhu eats well every day, but he has never enjoyed it in a restaurant specially prepared for demon cultivators.

If it were an ordinary restaurant, ten taels of silver would be enough for an extremely luxurious feast. But here we only accept blood spirit stones. These feasts will cost several taels of blood spirit stones, which is equivalent to thousands of taels of silver.

Okay. With Gou Zhu's nature, no matter how rich he is, he will not eat like this.

But when he actually sat here, he realized what "value for money" meant. The meat here was by no means ordinary meat, and the cooking was not ordinary smoky.

The meat on the table is almost all the meat of exotic animals or even spiritual beasts. Many of them are cut into transparent slices as thin as cicada wings, and eaten dipped in the spiritual liquid mixed with heavenly materials and earthly treasures. It is tender and delicious, and melts in your mouth.

The slightly sweet umami flavor mixed with the perfectly salty meat brought by the minerals in the spiritual liquid made him unable to hold back his appetite any longer.

Of course, he did not forget his brothers who were still watching behind the fence. So when everyone was stunned, he took out a living jade box and swept a lot of meat on the table into the box. Fortunately, even though he was as long as his arms

All the plates within reach were emptied, and the maid next to them would remove the empty plates in a very short time and replace them with plates full of delicacies.

The visitors included the blood refining elders, the city lord, the blood refining tribe chiefs and the formation masters who guarded the formation, as well as the cronies they brought with them, totaling about forty or fifty people.

Sitting on the banquet table were Elder Xue Lian, City Lord Kapok, Cangzhou Tribe Chief Muge, Red Thorn Tribe Chief Huang Xue, and three formation masters stationed at the defense tower, including Ji Yan.

There is a hazy soundproof light shield around this group of people, which separates them from other seats, as if they are separated by a layer of constantly undulating water, making it difficult for outsiders to see clearly. They can only see them mingling, whispering, and moving their lips.

There was no sound. Even the lip language could not be seen clearly due to the fluctuation of the mask.

Originally, this mask did not exist. After what seemed like pleasantries, these people began to discuss in earnest how to divide the "extra" blood spirit stones and the interference formations that someone had casually set up.

Gouzhu was sitting at a certain table below, sitting together with Lei Yan, the deputy of another formation master of the protection tower, and several elders of the blood refining tribe. In fact, they were all insignificant people, as long as they were waiting for those at the table

After the discussion is over, everyone gets their money, whatever they get is what they get.

In addition to eating and drinking and cleaning up and packing, he had been keeping an eye on the movements of the city lord and others, waiting eagerly for the big bosses to negotiate a result, and then scatter the blood spirit stones. Even though he was full, he could not

He didn't dare to leave the table. But at this moment, he felt more and more strange.

"There's something wrong." He suddenly felt an inexplicable warning sign lingering in his heart and said to himself.

The interior is sumptuously decorated, with gold as the main tone throughout. The gorgeous golden tables, chairs, seats, candlesticks, and cups shine brightly in the countless flickering candlelights, making the place intoxicated.

But Gouzhu felt that there was an indescribable and obscure aura permeating the golden light everywhere. He couldn't see, hear, touch, or feel anything, but his spiritual consciousness could detect the existence of this aura.

But when he looked at it carefully, he felt that it had disappeared without a trace.

He remembered clearly that when he first entered Fengyue Tower, he did not feel this way. This strange aura grew extremely slowly after he entered the banquet room. It was like boiling a frog in warm water, and he was half a little smaller.

After a while, I suddenly felt a little conscious.

He didn't hesitate, wiped his lips, stood up and left the table. He didn't care what others did. To him, no matter how many blood spirit stones he had, it was not as important as his life.

When he turned around, there was a fox girl in enchanting clothes carrying a golden tray serving food. She was only one step away from him. As she passed by, the maid suddenly left the tray with her hands, letting the plate of dishes fall into the air.
