The green-crowned lizard king swallowed hard and his body trembled even more.
He even glanced secretly at the door, as if considering whether to run away.
At this time, the demon envoy in front of the palace who brought Zu An stood at the door and said coldly: "King Lizard, go see the master quickly, there is someone waiting behind you."
The green-crowned lizard king could only give up the idea of escape. He looked at Zu An with a sense of sympathy in his eyes.
His mouth moved slightly, and he originally wanted to join forces with each other to fight in private, but when he saw the real demon in front of the palace looking at him with eager eyes and thought about the terror of the demon lord, he gave up the idea and climbed up the steps dejectedly.
Looking at his back, Zu An had the illusion that this guy was not climbing the stairs, but going to the execution ground.
Zu An looked around, and there were some guards standing far away on both sides. Those guards were somewhat similar to the demon envoys in front of the temple, but they didn't have wings on their backs.
The aura fluctuations emanating from his body were much weaker.
Because of the high steps on this slope, the scene behind it cannot be seen.
Zu An originally wanted to use his spiritual mind to find out what was going on inside, but he was worried that it would alert the Demon Lord. After all, with his strength, he would definitely be able to detect it.
Thinking of this, he simply stood there quietly, thinking about some next action plans in his mind.
After about a moment of burning incense, a messenger from the palace appeared again at the top of the steps: "Donal, the master has summoned you."
Zu An was startled, and couldn't help but ask the same question as the green-crowned lizard king just now: "It seems that the lizard king hasn't come out yet?"
"He doesn't need to come out anymore." The messenger in front of the palace said calmly, as if he was describing an ordinary thing.
Zu An: "..."
The mortality rate is a bit high.
Originally, he was quite calm this time, because he felt that the Lord of Demons would definitely not see through his disguise, but he just happened to want to see him for something.
As a result, the two people in line in front of him were killed one after another not long after entering. He was really unsure now.
He couldn't help but glance at the gate, thinking about the possibility of killing him just like the green-crowned lizard king just now.
Unlike the Green-crowned Lizard King, he is now very sure of success, and a single demon envoy in front of the palace cannot stop him.
But he finally gave up the idea. This time he came to the demon world to solve the problem from the root, so how could he just run away like this?
Thinking of this, he calmed down and walked straight up the steps.
As I walked, I lamented how powerful this demon lord was. He deliberately built such a long staircase just to make the hierarchy more strict. The following people seemed to be on a pilgrimage every time they went to see him.
Under the leadership of the magic envoy in front of the palace, he quickly arrived at a large hall inside.
This hall is extremely empty, and the most eye-catching thing is a huge three-headed strange bird.
It is said to be a bird, but there are no feathers on its body. Three weird heads are fighting to tear apart a corpse.
Zu An could vaguely recognize from the broken body and the green crown on the ground that this was the Green-Crowned Lizard King whom he had met once before.
There is also a thick tail next to it, and the gray hair on it obviously does not belong to this strange bird, but should be the mad king mentioned before.
It was eaten until only one tail was left!
From a distance, one could feel the ruthlessness of the three-headed strange birds as if they were giant beasts from the wild, and Zu An was also very afraid of them.
This should be the mount of the Lord of Demons. Does he have to feed it when he executes his subordinates? The world of demons is indeed cruel.
His eyes quickly fell on a human figure in front of the strange bird.
It's hard to call it a human being, it's just a human figure, but its whole body is covered with a layer of fine and dense pitch black scales.
Previously, the Green Crested Lizard King was also covered in scales, but the two types of scales were completely different.
The scales on this body exude a cold metallic luster, as if they are not scales but a piece of delicate armor, giving it a strange beauty.
But what is more eye-catching is his head, which looks like a diamond-shaped four-pointed star. For a moment, Zu An even recalled the card-drawing stone in a certain game in his previous life.
"I've seen the Lord of Demons!" Zu An responded quickly, without any rudeness.
There are two yellow rays of light on the head of the Demon Lord, and strange vertical pupils can be faintly seen, which are obviously his eyes.
He looked at Zu An and then said, "Do you know why I asked you to come here?"
His mouth was upright, split from the middle to both sides, revealing the densely packed teeth inside.
If Zu An hadn't been well-informed, he might have been shocked when he saw this scene.
"I don't know." Zu An was secretly on guard. He found that he could not accurately perceive the opponent's cultivation level. In this case, either the opponent's cultivation level was much higher than his, or the opponent's strength was much higher than his.
He now possesses all kinds of extraordinary skills. Even the keyboard system has to use F1-F12 to collect the skills. He does not believe that the skills of this demon lord are much higher than where he practiced.
That can only show that the opponent's current strength and realm are higher.
Thinking of this, Zu An couldn't help but miss the time when he was connected to the will of the world. At that time, he really felt like he was invincible.
Now that we are in the world of demons and monsters, we are unable to use the power of the world of cultivation, so we are indeed much weaker than before.
But he didn't panic. Many times, realm strength doesn't completely determine the outcome.
Over the years, he has faced too many powerful enemies, and in the end he had the last laugh.
As long as you perform well, you won't be able to fight.
The Lord of Demons looked at him deeply: "What is the result of practicing in the world?"
Zu An's heart skipped a beat, as the Lord of Demons indeed knew that he was going to cultivate in the world.
Judging from the meaning of these words, it seems that Donal has been assigned a task.
I really have a headache now.
Salamei had also assigned a task before, but he finally managed to fool him.
I didn't expect that the Demon Lord exists here, but the Demon Lord is obviously not as easy to fool as Salamee.
"There are some twists and turns..." Zu An said ambiguously, wondering what the other party's mission was.
"Have you met the regent?" the demon lord suddenly asked.
Zu An hummed: "It was indeed almost destroyed by him."
"Tell me about the regent." The Lord of Demons suddenly became interested, "All three armies under my command were defeated in his hands. What a talent he is."
"The regent is as handsome as a jade tree stands in the wind..." Zu An secretly breathed a sigh of relief. There was a lot to talk about about that world without exposing any flaws.
During the process, the Demon Lord was very interested in Zu An's cultivation and various abilities.
Zu An felt very strange in his heart. Now when he was praising himself to the Lord of Demons, he couldn't appear too weak, nor was he too outrageous, nor could he reveal his true identity. The balance was really difficult to grasp.
After hearing this, the Lord of Demons nodded: "It's pretty good that you can save your life when you meet such a character."
Zu An said hurriedly: "Actually, I didn't meet him face to face. I was prepared for his arrival in advance, so I rushed back after getting the news, leaving a lot of things unfinished."
This is true. No matter what Donal was doing before, he obviously never finished it.
"So you've done a good enough job." The Demon Lord smiled widely, then suddenly changed the subject and pointed at the body of the Green-crowned Lizard King in the distance, "Do you know why I want to kill them?"
"I don't know." Zu An suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Because they cheated and took refuge in Salame," the Lord of Demons snorted coldly, "I have treated them badly over the years, but in the end they dared to betray me and deserved their death."
Zu An: "..."
At this moment, the Lord of Demons suddenly looked at Zu An, his pupils getting darker and darker: "Have you completed the task that Salamee gave you?"
