Chapter 761 I Don’t Want You to Die Again (4000 words)
"Why did you betray me?"
The Demon Emperor's words spread in the royal study room.
The imperial study fell into a deathly silence.
Si Fei's face turned pale.
The originally rosy lips seemed to have lost their color in an instant.
Si Fei's body was trembling constantly.
The Demon King did not exude any demonic aura or pressure.
But at this moment, the atmosphere in the imperial study room was extremely suffocating, as if Concubine Si would be crushed to pieces in the next moment!
"I wish to die."
Concubine Silk knelt in front of the Demon Emperor, her skirt spread out like a flower.
Without any excuse or plea to the Demon King, Concubine Si directly admitted her sin.
"Knew it"
Looking at the beloved concubine in front of him who he spent time with day and night, the Demon Emperor sighed softly.
How he hoped that what Su Li said was wrong.
But the reality is always contrary to what he thought.
"Do you want to explain something?" The Demon Emperor looked at the concubine in front of him calmly, "Maybe I will believe it."
Concubine Si bit her head and said, "Since His Majesty has found out, then Your Majesty knows everything, and I have nothing to say."
The Demon Emperor glanced at Concubine Si with a complex look: "If you don't tell me, then I will tell you first that your master is from Heaven, and you have been trained to enter the palace since you were a child and come to me.
What you have to do, besides detecting every move in the palace, is to poison me at the critical moment.
Then on the day of departure, I was poisoned and died, and the country of all demons was in chaos.
In the end, the time for the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom to attack the Ten Thousand Fa World was delayed, so that the Heavenly Court would arrive at a suitable time and reap the benefits.
Are these things I said true or false?"
Concubine Si closed her eyes: "What your Majesty said is true, but how did your Majesty know this? This is my last curiosity. I think I have not revealed anything."
"I also want to know how he knew."
The Demon King closed his eyes.
He is just a monk in the world of ten thousand laws. He has never been to the kingdom of ten thousand monsters, but he knows such a big secret.
How did Su Li know?
Does he exist in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters, or does he have some special ability?
"Maybe I really should let you poison me.
This favor is too great.
It’s hard to pay it back.”
Looking at the concubine kneeling in front of him, the Demon Emperor sighed.
When Su Li wanted to make a deal with him, the Demon Emperor didn't know how big the secret Su Li wanted to tell him.
As a result, looking back now, this secret not only saved his own life, but it can also be said to have saved hundreds of millions of people in the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom.
Although this secret was given to him unconditionally by Su Li, and he didn't need to pay anything.
But I have to accept this favor and have to return it.
The Demon King seemed to have aged a thousand years in an instant, and waved his hand: "That's all, please step back."
Concubine Si suddenly raised her head, and then kowtowed deeply: "Your Majesty, I hope to die in your hands, and I ask for your grace!"
In Concubine Si's view, after the Demon Emperor asked her to retreat, someone else would come to execute her.
But for Concubine Si, what she hopes most is for her sweetheart to do it herself.
"I won't kill you."
The Demon King shook his head.
"But starting from today, I will announce your death.
You move into the cold palace first and live there for ten years."
"Your Majesty." Concubine Si was puzzled.
Si Fei was already ready to die.
But why.
Why would Your Majesty let me go?
"Let's go."
The Demon King waved his hand.
"I don't want to see you in the near future."
Looking at the Demon King, Concubine Si bit her thin lips tightly and hesitated to speak.
But in the end, Concubine Si just kowtowed again: "Yes, I have thanked Your Majesty for your grace. I wish Your Majesty a great victory in the expedition. I will pray for Your Majesty in the cold palace day and night."
Concubine Si stood up, bowed, turned and left the imperial study.
But just when Concubine Si was about to walk out of the royal study, Concubine Si turned around and looked at the Demon Emperor: "Your Majesty, I have a question that has been buried in my heart. I wonder if your Majesty can give me an answer."
"Say it."
The Demon King's tone sounded very tired.
Si Fei's little hands were holding the hem of her skirt tightly, and her eyes were looking deeply at her beloved man, as if she wanted to carve the other person's appearance into her soul forever.
"Your Majesty, have you ever loved my concubine?"
Si Fei's tone was trembling.
"Even just a little bit"
Concubine Si's words echoed gently in the room, and finally fell to the ground, just like the white snow flying in the air, falling on the earth and melting quietly.
"The person I like is dead." The Demon King said slowly.
Si Fei's eyes swayed, and tears quietly filled Si Fei's eyes.
Si Fei felt as if her heart had stopped beating in an instant.
"Concubine, I understand." Concubine Si smiled and bowed, forcing herself to hold back her tears.
Concubine Si opened the door of the imperial study room and quietly closed it until the Demon Emperor's sight disappeared through the crack in the door.
"So, I don't want you to die again."
Looking at the closed door, the Demon King sighed.
For the Demon King, what he hates most is when others betray him.
When he heard that Si Fei was going to poison himself, the Demon Emperor was not only incredulous, but also thought that Si Fei would be completely destroyed physically and mentally.
However, when he heard that Concubine Si had committed suicide beside him without any suspicion after his death, the Demon Emperor softened his heart.
And this was the most fundamental reason why the Demon King spared her life.
Looking at the poisoned tea in the tea cup on the table, the Demon Emperor waved his hand, and the tea and cup disappeared from the world in an instant.
The next moment, the Demon Emperor left the imperial study. When the Demon Emperor appeared again, he was in a forbidden area of the palace.
This forbidden area is a garden, but it is surrounded by magic circles, and is guarded by two immortals from the imperial palace.
"His Majesty."
When a priest in the palace sees the Demon King, he bows to him.
"Um."
The Demon King nodded and disappeared in an instant.
The Demon King walked into the forbidden area and came to a courtyard.
In the courtyard, a man was holding some rice and feeding some chickens.
The man was dressed in linen clothes and his hair was a little messy, just like an ordinary common man.
"I wonder if your Majesty came to see me as a prisoner for something?"
The man said calmly, he was still feeding the chickens without even looking at the Demon King.
"Your Excellency, are you still used to living there?" the Demon Emperor asked.
"It's okay, I've gotten used to it over the past tens of thousands of years." The man turned around and looked at the Demon Emperor calmly, "Your Majesty came to me, are you here to greet me?"
"The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons and the World of Ten Thousand Laws are about to go to war."
The Demon King found a stone stool and sat down unceremoniously.
And as soon as the Demon King finished speaking, a light flashed in the man's eyes.
But this light quickly dissipated.
"oh."
The man said nothing, but turned around and continued to feed the chickens.
"Do me a favor." The Demon King stopped beating around the bush and said directly.
"I am just a useless person. How can I help Your Majesty? Your Majesty has so many people, and it is not my turn." The man continued to scatter the rice.
The Demon King shook his head: "They can't take action. The other party's identity is a bit troublesome. In the end, they have to give an explanation. The investigation is difficult. I hope you can help me."
"What if I don't want to? Does Your Majesty want to kill me?" The man's tone revealed that he didn't care, without any panic or fear at all.
"If you don't want to, then forget it, I won't force you."
The Demon King stood up and looked at the hens.
"But the first place we attack will be Penglai Holy Land.
And Penglai Holy Land is the first place to bear the brunt.
You are the senior brother of Penglai Holy Land, and you are almost the figure of Penglai Holy Land.
You know Penglaizhou's character.
This time I can guarantee it!
Penglai Holy Land must be destroyed!
Just like the last battle between humans and monsters.
If you promise to help me.
I can also promise you.
When Penglai Holy Land is breached, I cannot guarantee the life or death of those disciples and elders.
But you can keep three people.
The quota of these three people is decided by you.
I can guarantee that they will all be alive from the beginning to the end of the war.
how?"
The Demon King stated his conditions.
The man's hand holding the rice stopped in the basket.
The Demon King was not in a hurry, just waiting for this man's answer.
It's like time has stood still at this moment.
After a while, time seemed to continue to flow.
"make a deal."
The man scattered the rice in his hand and quietly looked at the chickens struggling for food in front of him.
"Thank you very much."
The Demon King did not stay any longer and turned around to leave.
That night, a maid brought the man a knife.
"Old man, we meet again"
The man held the long knife that had been separated from him for thousands of years and sighed softly.
The moment the long knife was held by the man, the long knife trembled with excitement.
And it was on this night that the man left the palace.
Soon, news came out one by one from the palace.
Concubine Si was killed on her way out to visit relatives.
A prince of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom was beheaded by the human race, and everyone watched as the prince's head was thrown from the city wall by a man.
And this prince was the adoptive mother of Concubine Si at that time.
This makes people have to think that the person who killed Si Fei and Si Fei's adoptive mother was the same person.
And this aroused the anger of the people of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom.
Finally, under the operation of the Demon King, this kind of anger made the morale of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom even higher!
Today's Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom is like a long bow that has been tightened, waiting for the bowstring to be loosened to shoot into the Ten Thousand Demons World!
Penglai Xianzhou.
In Su Li's impression, Penglai Xianzhou should be the most bizarre continent.
What stands out about Penglai Xianzhou is that it is independent of the world.
I don’t know if it’s because of Penglai Xianzhou’s atmosphere or something else.
Anyway, except for Penglai Xianzhou's desperate resistance in the last human-monster battle, Penglai Xianzhou basically ignored the matter.
The monks in Penglai Xianzhou basically do not leave the continent.
Therefore, Su Li rarely sees the monks in Penglai Immortal Continent.
But what I have to say is that although Penglai Xianzhou is independent of the world, it is extremely courageous.
During the last human-monster war, there were more or less sects on every continent who had taken refuge in the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom.
But in Penglai Continent, no matter how fierce the battle was, not a single sect in Penglai Continent took refuge in the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom.
Even Penglai Continent, as a continent directly bordering the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom, is the first line of defense for the next Ten Thousand Demons World.
Even though the war was about to begin, Penglai Holy Land still did not ask any sect from other continents for help.
Penglai Xianzhou will not care about other continents.
But Penglai Xianzhou will never ask other continents to help it.
It is this kind of character of Penglai Xianzhou that causes the relationship between Penglai Xianzhou and other continents in Wanfa Tianxia not to be very good.
Before Su Li went to Penglaizhou, he asked Zhou Wuqing about Mrs. Peach Blossom.
Although Zhou Qingqing seems to be a mediocre strong man, in fact, Zhou Wuqing was really powerful at the time.
It's just that Zhou Qingwu's cultivation stamina is insufficient, and now he seems a little mediocre.
But this is not important. What is important is that Zhou Qingqing is still a living fossil of history.
Of course, Zhou Qingqing knew nothing about what happened in Penglai Continent tens of thousands of years ago.
In fact, Mrs. Peach Blossom is not a demon cultivator in the world.
Mrs. Peach Blossom was originally from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.
And why was Mrs. Peach Blossom imprisoned in Wanfa Tianxia? Why did the monks in Penglaizhou not kill Mrs. Peach Blossom?
This goes back to the first human-male war.
During that human-monster war, Mrs. Peach Blossom was actually a very famous doctor in the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom.
Mrs. Peach Blossom is not only great at making wine, but her medical skills are even more impressive.
The most famous doctor in the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom today is Mrs. Peach Blossom’s disciple.
In the first human-monster war, Mrs. Peach Blossom, as the most famous doctor, naturally accompanied the army to fight and helped treat the soldiers of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom.
If Mrs. Peach Blossom was more cruel, then maybe nothing would happen to Mrs. Peach Blossom.
But Mrs. Peach Blossom is really too kind, so kind that Mrs. Peach Blossom saved a person.
And this man was the top disciple of Penglai Holy Land at that time, a genius with swords.
After Mrs. Peach Blossom secretly rescued him, the two fell in love with each other.
But the love affair between them was eventually discovered by their respective forces.
However, neither Penglai Holy Land nor Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom immediately dismantled each other.
Both sides are playing tricks on each other and want to put the other party to death!
For the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom, the strength of the great disciple in Penglai Holy Land is really too strong, and it will become even stronger in the future.
For Penglaizhou, Mrs. Peach Blossom is also a very troublesome existence.
Although Mrs. Peach Blossom did not go into battle to kill the enemy, Mrs. Peach Blossom's medical skills were really superb.
Many demon cultivators who were trapped in hell were all rescued by Mrs. Peach Blossom.
For Penglaizhou, Mrs. Peach Blossom is already on the must-kill list, and she must be killed!
Otherwise, as long as those demon cultivators are not killed, those demon cultivators will continue to join the battlefield!
