"Two adults, please wait a moment. I will go and report it right away!"
The patrol captain did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent a message to the messenger monk on the island to report the news.
Not long after.
Several demon generals came to greet them and invited Shen Lang and Long Xuan into the island.
Longyan Island is already riddled with holes, and there are even a few cracks on the entire island. Most of the buildings on the island have been destroyed and transformed into simple camps.
Flying over Longyan Island, you can see a large number of demon monks gathering in the camps to recuperate.
The long-term battle with the ghost monks made these demon monks exhausted.
There is a palace built in the center of Longyan Island, and the ancestor of Heiyan lived in the palace.
Shen Lang and Long Xuan were invited into the palace.
The palace is very empty.
A demon god wearing a black robe and having two horns was sitting on the roof above the palace, with a wisp of black flames burning between his brows, exuding a sinister and violent aura that made people shudder!
The demon looked very young and handsome, his face was quite pale, and his aura was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, giving people the feeling of recovering from a serious illness.
This was the first time Shen Lang saw the real ancestral demon. Apart from being shocked, he actually felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.
"My subordinate, Long Xuan, pays homage to the ancestor of Black Flame!"
Long Xuan bowed and saluted.
Seeing that Shen Lang had not saluted for a long time, Long Xuan tugged on his clothes and motioned for him to salute quickly.
Unexpectedly, the ancestor of Heiyan who was lying on the ground suddenly dodged and came to Shen Lang.
Long Xuan was startled, thinking that the ancestor of Hei Yan felt that Shen Lang was too rude, so he quickly explained for Shen Lang: "Master ancestor, this god is not..."
However, Long Xuan hadn't finished speaking yet.
The ancestor of Hei Yan actually prostrated himself in front of Shen Lang and said excitedly: "Hei Yan, I have met my father!"
Father?
Long Xuan was stunned.
He almost thought there was something wrong with his ears.
What is this situation? Why did the ancestor call Shen Lang his father?
Shen Lang breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried about how to explain his identity to the Black Flame Ancestor before, but it seemed that the other party already knew his identity.
Although he had been prepared in his mind, he still felt a little weird when faced with this scene.
"Get up, no need to be polite."
Shen Lang put on a calm expression and said in a deep voice: "I have not yet recovered my memory and cultivation before my death. I only retain a small part of my cognition. Before I become the Heaven Smiting Emperor, you don't need to call me Father Emperor."
."
The ancestor of Heiyan said quickly: "Father, you are joking. Even if you have temporarily lost your memory, you are still the Heaven Smiting Emperor. I am your son, and we will do our best to help your father rebuild his true body!"
Long Xuan on the side was extremely shocked.
As a war general in the Demon Realm, he has naturally heard of the "Heaven-Jieting Emperor", who is a legendary being who can be brothers with the Realm Lord!
Long Xuan never dreamed that this person was actually the legendary Emperor Jie Tian!
Thinking of the scene where Shen Lang rescued the Black Rock City army, Long Xuan felt like a dream.
"Let's put aside these things for now. You are seriously injured. What happened?"
Shen Lang saw that the ancestor of Black Flame was seriously injured and couldn't help but frown and asked.
The ancestor of Black Flame sighed and said: "The child is incompetent. He was injured in the battle with the 'Four-Eyed Ghost Emperor', one of the eight kingdoms in the ghost realm, and his soul was damaged."
"However, the four-eyed ghost emperor was also injured by the child and temporarily withdrew from the Black Sea front line."
"I see." Shen Lang frowned.
He had previously read many descriptions of the Eight Kingdoms of the Ghost Realm in the ancient books left by the Demon Realm royal family. The "Four-Eyed Ghost Emperor" mentioned by the ancestor of Black Yan was the king of the Wangyou Kingdom, one of the Eight Kingdoms of the Ghost Realm.
The so-called eight ghost kingdoms are worth mentioning.
Generally speaking, the Ghost Realm consists of eight countries. These eight countries are: Tianyue Kingdom, Disha Kingdom, Impermanence Kingdom, Black Swamp Kingdom, Gusang Kingdom, Wangyou Kingdom, Rakshasa Kingdom, and Shengxu Kingdom.
These eight countries divided up the territory of the ghost realm, which is similar to the ten fairy realms in the fairy world.
But unlike the fairy world, the eight kingdoms in the ghost realm have extremely strong dominance. There are only these eight forces in the entire ghost realm, which is similar to imperial rule.
The strength of the kings of various countries is not inferior to that of the Ancestral Demon, and at least they have terrifying cultivation levels at the peak level of the Divine Sea Realm.
If the monarch's power was comparable to that of the ancestral demon, he would not be able to occupy the demon territory so quickly.
The main reason is that the Eight Kingdoms of the Ghost Realm are extremely powerful. The number of monks alone is seven or eight times greater than that of the Demon Realm. Their overall strength far exceeds that of the Demon Realm. That is why the Demon Realm is being defeated step by step.
When the eight kingdoms of the Ghost Realm met, they each opened a crack in the interface to enter the Demon Realm.
The interface crack in the Black Sea was opened by Wangyou Kingdom.
The ghost realm monks who haunt the Black Sea are all ghost cultivators from Wangyou Kingdom.
Shen Lang learned about the situation from the Black Flame Ancestor and learned that although the Demon Realm army on the Black Sea front had temporarily repelled the Ghost Realm army, they suffered heavy casualties and had almost no personnel to replace them.
On the other hand, over in the Ghost Domain, there are still a large number of ghost cultivators from the Wangyou Kingdom crossing the interface cracks and coming to the Black Sea every day, constantly replenishing the combat power of the ghost cultivators from the Wangyou Kingdom.
The ancestor of Black Flame originally wanted to lead this main force of the Demon Realm to break through the defense line of the Ghost Realm army in one go, occupy the interface crack in the Black Sea, and thereby cut off the ghost realm monks' access to the Demon Realm.
Unfortunately, they encountered stubborn resistance from the ghost cultivator army of the Wangyou Kingdom on the Black Sea front, and were unable to break through the defense line of the ghost realm army.
"This is the situation. I have been waiting for a fierce battle until now, but the time has dragged on for too long. Instead, I am stuck in the quagmire."
"With the current situation, whether we can survive the next war is a question." The ancestor of Black Flame frowned, with a look of unwillingness on his face.
"Put the war aside for now, I'll treat your injuries first."
After Shen Lang said this, he immediately offered up the coffin palace lantern.
He could see that the ancestor of Black Flame's Yuanshen was injured, and that the power of the Yuanshen had been overdrawn by more than half, and his condition was extremely poor.
Shen Lang immediately activated the coffin palace lantern, releasing a brilliant glazed holy light that poured into the scarred body of the Black Flame Ancestor.
Being illuminated by the glazed holy light, the ancestor of Black Flame instantly felt a vast ocean-like vitality pouring into his soul. He couldn't help but feel energetic. His soul was nourished and was slowly recovering.
Since Shen Lang's cultivation level was much worse than that of the Black Flame Ancestor, it took more than half an hour of treatment for the Black Flame Ancestor's injuries to recover significantly.
Long Xuan waited respectfully aside, not daring to make any noise to disturb the two of them.
Finally, Shen Lang sealed a large amount of glazed holy light into the body of the Black Flame Ancestor in one breath, ending the treatment this time.
"You only need to sit quietly for a few days to digest the holy light in your body, and the damaged soul should be fully restored." Shen Lang said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Father, for the treatment!" Heiyan Ancestor thanked him with gratitude.
"It's just a little effort." Shen Lang shook his head.
Just when he was about to ask something, something unexpected happened.
"boom!!!"
A huge roar resounded throughout the world, and the entire Longyan Island seemed to have been shaken by a magnitude 10 earthquake.
"what happened?"
In the palace, Shen Lang and Long Xuan couldn't help but change their expressions.
The ancestor of Black Flame smelled something bad and immediately removed the restrictions in the hall.
"Report to the First Ancestor, the ghost army is approaching Longyan Island, and several vanguard ghost generals are already attacking Longyan Island's defense formation!" A patrol leader in the demigod realm shouted a message outside the palace.
The words were fresh.
"Boom!!!"
There was another loud noise, and the entire hall began to shake.
