Shi Changhua, Zhang Deliang and others returned to the east courtyard with expressions of reluctance and panic.
Zhang Huaian frowned, glanced at Luo Guan coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, I take my leave."
He waved his hand and led the navy away.
Although today's crisis was not dangerous, he felt more disgusted with this junior. .??.
Mr. Zhou observed his words, bowed and took the initiative to retreat... But Xu Ying was more discerning than him and had already returned to her room.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Tong and Luo Guan were the only ones left in the west courtyard.
Her eyes were complicated, and she became more and more convinced that Luo Guan had some kind of trump card to restrain the demon clan. Otherwise, how could the mighty eldest son of the Mountain-moving Demon King's Mansion, the Demon Lord of the Soul Realm, have his head chopped off after three "bang bang bangs".
"Alas! Luo Guan, even if you are angry in your heart, you should not kill the eldest son of Mountain Moving. These two sons, the older one and the younger, are the thorns in the heart of the old ape. He will never let you go."
Luo Guan shook his head, "Killing one means death, but so what if you kill two? Everyone on the left and right is a mortal enemy, so let's just have fun!" He smiled and brazenly said, "That old ape who can move mountains wants revenge, so just come, young master.
Send the three of them to a reunion!"
Jiang Tong rolled his eyes angrily. Among all the demon kings, the old ape who moved the mountains was fierce in combat. It was rumored that he had reached the peak of Guiyuan. He was just one step away from becoming one and promoted to the great demon king. He was qualified to be ranked among them.
Royal Court.
Kill him... Luo Guan really dared to brag, but looking at the carefree and wanton smile in front of her, she felt inexplicably at ease.
"That day in Zhenhai City, I helped you escape a disaster. I thought I saved you, but instead I brought you into the dangerous situation now... Luo Guan, be careful, I don't want you to die."
The second day.
Golden Demon King City, Teleportation Hall.
In order to avoid surprise attacks, the teleportation arrays between the demon king's palace and the royal court were protected.
Only under special circumstances, such as when Jiang State is on an envoy, will the authority be temporarily granted.
Buzz——
As the light surged, the Jiang State envoy and his entourage in the teleportation array disappeared.
Deep in the Red Sea, there is a vast island.
It is more than a million miles east to west, north to south, and can be regarded as a small continent in the sea.
This is where the Demon Clan Royal Court is located, Demon God Island!
In the center of the island, a majestic city was built, which was the capital of the demon clan and the seat of the royal court.
At this moment, somewhere in the southeast of the royal capital, in a large hall.
The ground teleportation array was activated, spewing out dazzling spiritual light, and figures emerged from it, none other than the Jiang State envoy and his entourage.
Luo Guan's heart trembled slightly. Through the transmission time, it can be determined that the Demon Clan Royal Court is extremely far away from the Azure Continent, and the Red Sea is so vast that it is unimaginable. Even if he knew that the Emperor Sword fragments were in this sea area, how much time would it take to search them again?
Buzz——
The origin of the Imperial Sword in the body vibrated, causing ripples.
Not in the royal court!
Luo Guan was disappointed and relieved at the same time. It was quite complicated for a moment. After gathering his thoughts, he followed everyone out of the teleportation array, his eyes swept around the surroundings, and he frowned subconsciously.
Then I saw that the main hall was completely empty. There was only one demon king standing in the hall, looking at it with serious eyes. Look indifferently.
Jiang Guo sent an envoy and said that the demon clan's royal court did not take it seriously, but sent a demon king to greet it. But if it said it valued it... this situation is really not like it.
At this moment, the demon king in the palace said calmly, "I am across the river, and by the order of the royal court, I am here to welcome the envoy from the Kingdom of Jiang. You will come with me."
Turn around and lead the way.
The carriage was already waiting outside the palace, with only one armored demon clan silently standing by. The surrounding area was empty and no demon clan could be seen.
Jiang Tong hesitated for a moment and said, "I, Jiang Tong, may I ask where Demon King Tongjiang will take us?"
Demon King Tongjiang glanced at her and said, "The monks from Tianji Sect have been waiting in the royal court for a long time. I have been ordered to hand you over to him."
Everyone in the mission was obviously relieved, and Jiang Tong said, "Thank you, Demon King."
After boarding the carriage, everyone discovered that the windows were sealed, with only a few gaps through which they could vaguely see outside.
Mr. Zhou frowned, "This carriage is almost a prison carriage. How can Demon Court be so rude?!"
Zhang Huaian frowned, feeling uneasy in his heart. The behavior of the Demon Clan Royal Court was very strange.
I hope nothing happens.
Shi Changhua, Zhang Deliang and others showed embarrassment and uneasiness, but they tried their best to show calmness in front of the eldest princess.
For a moment, his expression was distorted and weird.
Jiang Tong glanced at Luo Guan in the corner. He lowered his head slightly and could not see the expression on his face.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't worry, everyone, this trip to the royal court will be protected by the experts of Tianji Sect, so there should be no accidents."
"In addition, there is another hidden story regarding the mission to the Demon Clan Royal Court."
Jiang Tong turned around and nodded to Mr. Zhou.
He coughed lightly and said, "This matter is classified as top secret before the mission. Zhou and His Highness are ordered by the emperor not to leak it in advance. Please forgive me."
Looking around at everyone, he continued, "Years ago, somewhere at the intersection of the red and yellow seas, Jiang State discovered the ruins of an ancient immortal gate. It was quite large and seemed to contain the mysterious technique of cultivating the Yuan, which was related to breaking through the realm and returning to the Yuan. It's a pity.
, before the excavation of the cave was completed, it was discovered by the demon clan. Because the ruins of the ancient immortal gate were too precious, the Tianji Sect came forward to mediate, and this mission to the demon court came about."
"With Your Highness the Eldest Princess as your honor, Jiang Guo has formed the Hidden Star Team, which will enter the duel field with a certain little demon king and his subordinates from the demon court. The winner will obtain the ownership of the ruins of the ancient immortal gate. Your Majesty attaches great importance to this matter.
I also hope that all my friends will go all out to help His Highness win and promote the prestige of our Jiang country..."
After that, they poured chicken soup for a while, blah blah blah, and said that a duel only involves victory and defeat, not life and death, and that you can voluntarily admit defeat, etc.
Xu Ying's eyes widened. She knew about the selection of the consort. She thought it was just a blind date trip, but she didn't expect that there was a hidden project. When she looked at Luo Guan, she saw that he had a calm face and lowered his voice and said calmly, "Sir, you have already guessed it.
?”
"Yeah." Luo Guan nodded, not pretending to be calm after the fact. After confirming the members of the Hidden Star Team,
He made some guesses.
Going to the Demon Court as an envoy is a big deal for the Jiang Kingdom. How could it be just to choose a son-in-law for the eldest princess? In addition, the members of the Hidden Star Team are all at the Golden Core level, and their followers are also limited to Nascent Soul.
Although I don’t know the specific details, it is not difficult to guess that there are other arrangements.
That's why Luo Guan thought before that he might take this opportunity to return Jiang Tong's favor. But what he encountered after entering the Demon Clan Royal Court was a bit strange... But think about it, in a mere ancient cave, the Demon Clan King
Ting didn't care much, which was normal.
"That's right! The Demon Court may not want this matter to be known to too many demon clans, so as not to cause criticism from the demons after the defeat!"
"That's right, that must be why they deliberately concealed the news about our arrival at the Demon Court."
"With Tianji Sect's endorsement, there should be no problem with this matter. We will do our best to help His Highness win and bring prestige to our Jiang country!"
Everyone in the Hidden Star team expressed their opinions one after another, with high morale and eyes gleaming.
It seems that after a great battle, he forces the demon tribe to bow his head and admit defeat, and then wins the favor of the eldest princess, thus reaching the pinnacle of his life.
After walking for a long time, the carriage stopped.
The voice of Tongjiang Demon King sounded, "Jiang State Envoy, we are here."
As everyone walked out, the carriage drove directly into the interior of a large mansion.
There was a green-robed Taoist standing opposite Demon King Tongjiang, his eyes flashing slightly at this moment, covering everyone.
"I, Tianjizi, am the Supreme Elder of Tianji Sect. You will follow my arrangements when you are next."
Everyone in Jiang Guo’s envoy looked respectful, “We are here to pay our respects to His Majesty Tianjizi!”
The machine is very strong today.
It goes without saying that he has a cultivation level in the Guiyi Realm, but he also has a fierce aura, like a divine sword unsheathed. Just looking at it can cause a faint sting, making people unable to help but shed tears.
Luo Guan was secretly frightened. This man must be the strongest swordsman he had ever seen in his life. Even if he tried his best, he was not sure he could block this Tian Jizi's sword.
It is worthy of being an existence that can single-handedly frighten the demon royal court. Its strength is so strong that even the Great Demon King of the Unity Realm would have to avoid the edge for a while.
Tian Jizi said expressionlessly, "You stay here for the next two days to adjust your condition. The day after tomorrow, the duel with the Demon Court will begin."
He turned around and left with Demon King Tongjiang. Before leaving, he waved his sleeves and a formation suddenly opened, covering the entire courtyard and isolating it from the inside and outside!
Luo Guan was startled. He looked at the surrounding formations and felt even more uneasy.
Everyone in the Hidden Star team around them expressed surprise and gratitude.
"What an ingenious method, using the sword formation to protect one party is really unbelievable!"
"Senior Tianjizi took action personally to protect us and others from being disturbed by the demon clan."
"Jiang Guo and Tianji Sect have always been close. Your Majesty will be more considerate of me and take more care of you."
Even Zhang Huaian, after Tianjizi appeared, seemed to have great trust in Tianji Sect. Luo Guan thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, there are many weird things after entering the royal court. Maybe you can ask Senior Tianjizi to explain it to us."
Confused."
Everyone's expression A change.
Shi Changhua shouted, "Luo Guan, what do you mean by this? But it is disrespectful to have doubts about the Supreme Being!"
Zhang Deliang sneered, "Your Majesty didn't say much, so there is no problem. Luo Guan, you are so bold, you dare to question Tianji Sect!"
The others also scolded him one after another.
A bunch of bastards, so loud, I'm afraid Tianjizi can't hear it?!
Zhang Huaian looked at him coldly and said, "Your Highness, this is absolutely unacceptable. Your Majesty is busy with the affairs of the Jiang Kingdom. How can we be disrespectful?"
Jiang Tong nodded, "I understand." She waved her hand, "Luo Guan also has good intentions. Please don't say any more and go down and rest."
After everyone dispersed, she whispered, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Luo Guan nodded and said nothing more.
Soon, two days passed.
On this day, the formation suddenly dispersed, and Tian Jizi arrived with a calm expression, "The Jiang State envoy, please follow me to the duel field."
Everyone bowed respectfully and said, "I will obey your Majesty's orders!"
It was the same carriage as when it came, with the windows still closed, and it seemed to have added a formation, and it was extremely quiet. Shi Changhua, Zhang Deliang and others were nervous and a little excited at this time, and they kept discussing the next response strategy.
.
In order to fight against the Little Demon King, they prepared several plans, and now they are bringing them out just to attract Jiang Tong's attention. Compared with a few others, Luo Guan and Xu Ying, master and servant, seem to be in another world.
Always remain silent.
"Sir." Xu Ying lowered her voice, "You seem to be in a bad mood."
Luo Guan thought for a moment and said, "Follow me later and be more careful."
"Ah..." Xu Ying's eyes widened. Her Royal Highness the Princess said it was okay, and the Emperor of Tianji Sect was present. How dare the Demon Clan Royal Court do something? She was full of doubts. Seeing that Luo Guan had no intention of saying more, she blinked and fell silent.
But I felt wary in my heart.
Xu Ying is more willing to believe in her own judgment than others, but if the Supreme Leader of the Tianji Sect is unreliable, the problem this time may be a bit big!
Soon after, the demon clan duel arena arrived.
But today's showdown is not an open fight but a secret fight.
The dark field refers to a secret realm made from space fragments, where both parties enter the duel and no one is watching. Its existence is similar to Luo Guan's previous experience when he participated in the test in the dream world.
In the main hall in front of you, there is a slowly rotating whirlpool, which is the entrance to the dark duel. Several monsters are waiting, and the leader is the Demon King Tongjiang whom he met once before.
Luo Guan's heart sank, and he felt a strong warning sign.
"Those participating in the duel at the royal court have entered in advance. Members of Jiang's envoys, please take your seats as soon as possible." Demon King Tongjiang said calmly.
Tian Jizi lowered his eyes slightly and remained silent.
Jiang Tong frowned, "A secret duel?" She looked at Tianjizi, but received no response, and took a deep breath, "Excuse me, Demon King, what are the rules of this battle?"
Demon King Tongjiang smiled half-heartedly, "Rules? There are no rules! Today's secret duel, the one who comes out of it alive is the winner!"
