Just when Lu Chen looked over, Huang Sheng and the other eight city lords began to order the cleanup and arrange things in an orderly manner: "... everyone should go back and have a rest first. We will organize a feast tonight to reward all the soldiers who participated in the war.
.”
After saying that, Huang Sheng turned to look at Lu Chen and smiled kindly at him: "Lu Chen, that's great, congratulations!"
After saying that, Huang Sheng said: "This place is left to others. Come with me. The Territory Lord wants to see you."
"Domain Lord?"
Lu Chen was stunned. He had heard of the Lord of the Black Territory earlier. He was a dragon that had always been seen but never seen. He didn't expect that he would meet him by chance.
Following Huang Sheng back to the tower, Huang Sheng took Lu Chen directly to a room on the top floor of the tower.
The outside of this house looks very ordinary, and there is no strong aura at all.
Opening the door, the layout inside is also very simple.
A huge floor-to-ceiling window faced the door. In front of the carved wood window was a low table, with a figure sitting cross-legged in front of the table.
It was a slender man, dressed in plain white clothes with a vivid cyan moiré pattern.
The sleeves are wide and the hem is very long.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the man turned his head slightly and looked at Huang Sheng and Lu Chen standing at the door with a smile in his eyes.
"You're here, please come in."
"yes!"
Huang Sheng was unprecedentedly respectful and obedient at this moment. This was something Lu Chen had never seen before. This was a kind of respect and recognition from the heart.
"Lu Chen, you can go in, don't be restrained, I'll wait for you outside."
Huang Sheng turned around and nodded slightly to Lu Chen, then waited for Lu Chen to step into the door and carefully closed the door.
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and walked towards the house.
At this time, the man in the room was smiling and making tea in a smooth and elegant way.
Then he personally handed the tea cup to the table aside.
"Sit down and have a taste. This is the tea I cultivated myself. After drinking it, it has the effect of prolonging life and purifying the body, and it tastes very good."
The man smiled and looked at Lu Chen as if he were seeing an old friend for many years.
"Thanks."
Lu Chen saw that this man did not introduce himself at all, nor did he open his mouth to introduce himself. He knew in his heart that the temperament of this domain lord was a bit strange and could not be considered based on common sense.
He immediately stepped forward and sat down, took the teacup directly, and took a sip: "It's really a rare and good tea."
After hearing Lu Chen's praise, the man smiled and said, "If you like it, I'll give you a pound later."
It was very strange that Lu Chen's demon soul sensed that the language used by this man was not the language commonly used in the Demon God Continent, but a very mysterious language, with each sentence carrying a unique meaning.
Even though the languages are different, everyone who hears his words can clearly understand what he means.
"Then I'm welcome, thank you."
Lu Chen really liked this tea. After one sip, he felt refreshed, exhausted, and even increased his demonic energy.
The man kept smiling and nodded, picked up his teacup and took a sip, showing an expression of enjoyment.
Then, he spoke out: "You must have a lot of questions to ask, right?
But there’s no harm in talking.”
It seems that this domain lord is really straight-tempered. Lu Chen put down his tea cup and asked: "Senior, may I ask, are you the lord of the black domain?"
"yes."
The man smiled and replied, "I didn't expect that you are really straightforward and very likable."
Lu Chen smiled and said: "The Lord of the Hundred Strong City said you came to me, what's the matter?"
"oh?
You are full of questions and don’t ask, but ask about this first.”
The Black Territory Lord raised his eyebrows and said, "I have something to do with you. I just want to see what you look like and then answer your questions specifically.
I say this, do you understand?"
Lu Chen asked: "Senior, I don't know why the ancient demon battlefield will be specifically used in this city siege competition?
Why does this battlefield generate a lot of merit after we exit?"
"You are really a rare smart person. I was right."
The Territory Lord smiled gently and said, "Then I will tell you slowly."
The Territory Lord gave Lu Chenxu a cup of tea, and then said: "First of all, your reputation is now at the peak of the sky in the Demon God Continent. I wonder if you understand this?"
Lu Chen nodded slightly.
"I noticed you, this is a normal thing."
"Then, I heard about your martial arts competition, your complete and overwhelming victory. This is something that has never happened in every city since the opening of the Black Territory.
You are indeed a person with a bright future, and you are definitely not a talent that can be trapped in a small black realm or even a small four realms."
The Black Territory Lord said, his eyes showing a bit of light.
"How could I not appreciate such talents?
Since you appreciate it, how can I bear with you tossing around in ordinary illusions? This is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of your ability."
"Actually, there has always been an unwritten rule in the Black Domain.
Those who have participated in the ancient demon war and successfully passed will not need to participate in the third competition.
Because...the third competition was originally to test whether the demon can resist the temptation of evil spirits."
The Black Territory Lord said: "Your performance in the demon siege battle can be said to be extremely perfect.
Therefore, I can announce later that you are the new Lord of Wancheng City, and you don’t have to waste time participating in the third test."
"Also, as for why this is the case, let me tell you this.
In fact, the ancient demon formation is not only an illusion formation, but also a sealing formation."
"What?"
Lu Chen couldn't help being slightly surprised when he heard this.
The sealing formation... let's put it this way... "Yes, this formation seals part of the demonic energy and soul of the ancient demon.
Therefore, those who enter the battle will either die or come out successfully.
Existences similar to those in Yun Zhong whose minds are confused by evil spirits will be eliminated by me personally."
When the Territory Lord said this, Lu Chen was suddenly shocked: "Sealed the demonic energy and demonic soul of the ancient demon?
! In other words, this formation is actually used to slowly kill those monsters, so why didn’t we completely eliminate the last few thousand monsters? "
"It's not that simple."
The Lord of the Black Territory said, "It can be said that the last bit of the demon clan's demonic energy has been wiped out by you. After all, the powerful energy of the rules of heaven and earth and the golden light of merit have swept away the entire formation for so long. No matter how powerful the demon is, it can't be destroyed by you."
It will hold up, not to mention those things are just derived from some residual souls and demonic energy.
The thousands of monsters that are still alive are all simulated by this formation and rely on the energy generated by the formation.
I still want to keep it to test the people behind me, or in other words, I will leave it for you to test your subordinates."
"And that cloud has evil thoughts in his heart, so even if you have merit and the golden light shines on the entire illusory array, it will not eliminate the evil thoughts in his heart."
The Territory Lord said, "It would be a good thing if you killed Yunzhong. I didn't expect that you were detained by Huang Sheng. In this case, I will take care of it myself later, so it will be fine."
When Lu Chen heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly but said nothing.
He really didn't expect that this red flame golden beast and those demon clans all had residual souls, and he didn't even notice it.
The demon clan is really too powerful. If I didn't have the merit and gold body, I could directly save those demon clan on the battlefield, and I would probably suffer a big loss.
The ancients were really powerful. They could actually think of a way to seal part of the demon souls, so as to kill the ancient demon clan and test the people behind them.
However, since the Lord of the Black Territory also advocates the elimination of evil beings, and there are so many levels of evil in the test of the City Lord, why do evil tribes take root deeply in the Black Territory?
The headquarters of Qisha Pavilion is even here.
Thinking this, Lu Chen asked directly.
The Lord of the Black Territory smiled lightly: "The evil tribe will find another place to exist if they are not in the Black Territory.
Instead of killing them and letting them develop in the dark, I might as well control their overall actions, right?"
"As for the city lord of Wancheng colluding with the Seven Kills Pavilion back then, let's put it this way, not everyone is qualified to pass the test of the ancient demon formation and become the city lord like you.
That guy was just going through a normal test. It is normal for his thoughts to change after so many years.
In addition, we have also detected that the power of the evil clan has expanded, and has even penetrated into the four realms and the black realm."
"This is why I test you. You are a peerless genius. If you can successfully pass the demon formation, then you will be an excellent seedling to deal with the evil clan..." Lu Chen heard this and said: "If
If I can’t pass, I’ll die inside, right?”
"You can say that."
The Black Territory Lord nodded and continued, "In addition, the Realm Lords of the Four Realms and I actually have a plan, which we have been planning for so many years.
This is also the ancient legacy that we have inherited, and it just so happens that you are also suitable to be the person who develops our legacy."
"What?"
Lu Chen asked.
"What is the specific matter, I should tell you together with the master of the four realms, now is not the time.
After you inherit Wancheng, calm down these things, and deal with the matter with Huang Sheng, we will choose a time to have a good talk with you."
The Black Territory Lord looked at Lu Chen and smiled lightly.
Seeing his smile, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel blessed: "Do you know why Lord Huang Sheng chose me as his heir?"
"Know."
The Black Territory Lord took out a small fan from nowhere and fanned it gracefully while saying, "This will also be our last test for you. As long as you pass, we will wholeheartedly and sincerely become your ally.
If you cannot pass, I will take revenge on you for the reason that you destroyed the remnant soul of the Red Flame Golden Elephant Beast today."
The Lord of the Black Domain said this, and after the smile on his face faded, the aura on his body changed.
The originally kind and approachable aura was transformed into a cold and indifferent aura.
He stared at Lu Chen and said, "I have said enough today. You can go back. I will send someone to announce the news later that you trust the Lord of Wancheng City."
Lu Chen: "..." These self-proclaimed superiors always like to speak only half the words.
Well, since it is a reminder to myself and a test by the way, it is normal not to tell the whole truth.
Now that he had received such a reminder, Lu Chen was completely sure that Huang Sheng not only had bad intentions towards him, but also had the intention of putting him to death.
Then, what he has to do is to win a beautiful battle in this game! Lu Chen said: "Okay, then I'm leaving."
"Leaving now?
Aren’t you ready to ask anything else?”
The domain master suddenly stared at Lu Chen and asked seriously, "I like you very much, and I can answer two more questions for you for free."
