From the moment I entered the palace, I noticed that there were many more guards along the road. The guards were all wearing armor, holding spears, and looked majestic, ready to fight at any time.
Because of the addition of guards, the atmosphere in the imperial city became heavy and tense.
I frowned and asked the maid who was leading the way, "Miss Palace Maid, what is going on here? Why are there suddenly so many guards?"
The maid shook her head and said, "Madam, please don't embarrass me. When you see the king, you will know everything."
She has already said this, so I can't ask any more questions.
I was thinking wildly along the way. With so many guards, it couldn't be that the Demon King's private treasury was stolen, right? If true, then the thief is bold enough. To touch the Demon King's private treasury would be to take away his lifeblood.
.
After passing through the nine-winding corridor, the maid finally took me to the Demon King's Palace.
The maid did not pass the message, but directly let me in, while she stood outside the gate.
I nodded and walked into the palace.
This is the meeting hall of the Demon King's Palace, similar to the palace where human emperors go to court. The decoration in the hall is solemn and solemn, the space is large, and there is a golden dragon chair at the top. The Demon King does not sit on the dragon chair, but stands on it.
In the main hall, he walked around anxiously with his hands behind his back.
Except for the Demon King, there was no one else in the hall.
Hearing my footsteps coming in, the Demon King turned to look at me, with a big fat face and a frown, "Little Junior Sister, my private treasury has been stolen."
My eyes widened.
It really is!
I asked the Demon King, "Senior Brother, did you lose something valuable?"
The Demon King nodded and said with a pained expression, "Dragon Blood Bead! I lost the Dragon Blood Bead that can bring the dead back to life! When Master brought you back, when we first met, Master asked me to give the Dragon Blood Bead as a meeting gift.
You, I was not willing to give up at that time! Who would have thought that it was stolen! Little junior sister, I planned to use that dragon blood bead when I broke through the realm, so I hid it like a treasure. Damn thief, if I
If you catch him, I will definitely tear off his head and use it as a ball to kick!"
I,"……"
I suddenly felt a little cold on the back of my neck.
I have already eaten the dragon blood bead. It was Yuchen who teamed up with Ruchen to steal it.
I felt guilty, but at the same time I didn’t dare to let the devil see it. I changed the topic and said, "Elder brother, Yun Ling’s consciousness has returned today. I have to go back to help him protect the law. I can’t help with things being stolen.
.I go first……"
"Don't leave." The Demon King said, "I don't expect you to help me find the Dragon Blood Pearl. I'm looking for you for one more thing. Li Nangeng is here."
I was shocked.
"Li Nangeng is here?" Does this sentence mean what I understand? Li Nangeng has come to the devil world?
Hearing my disbelieving question, the Demon King nodded, raised his finger to the sky, and said, "Li Nangeng led the heavenly soldiers to surround the Demon King's city."
The Demon King's City is surrounded. Isn't this matter more serious than the dragon blood bead being stolen? Why don't we talk about the dragon blood bead being stolen first?
I frowned and looked at the Demon King, "Senior Brother, the Demon Realm did not participate in the battle in the Heaven Realm. Li Nangeng brought troops to the Demon Realm. Is he here to declare war? Does he know that Bai Ziqi is missing?"
If he was not sure about Bai Ziqi's disappearance, then Li Nangeng would not take the initiative to provoke the demon world in order not to make enemies.
The Demon King nodded, "Yeah. I don't know how this news leaked out. Li Nangeng has ordered that the New God Sect pursue the Ancient God Army with all its strength, and he personally brought the heavenly soldiers to the Demon Realm."
"What is his purpose of surrounding the Demon King's City?" I asked the Demon King.
The devil looked at me and said nothing.
But I seemed to understand, and my heart trembled, "Senior Brother, tell me, is Li Nangeng's target me or Yuchen?"
The Demon King sighed softly and said, "Yu Chen. Li Nangeng said that Yu Chen is the son of Concubine Tian, that is, his son. He wants to bring Yu Chen back to the heaven."
Concubine Tian cuckolded him, and this had long been exposed. Concubine Tian was imprisoned because of this. Li Nangeng knew Yuchen's identity, but still used such an excuse to take Yuchen away. What on earth did he want to do?
Also, how did the news of Bai Ziqi's disappearance reach Li Nangeng's ears? Who leaked it?
A person flashed in my mind.
Could it be the high priest?
Qianchen can use Yuchen's life to threaten the high priest to spare our lives, which means that the high priest cares about Yuchen. So, Li Nangeng suddenly came to the demon world in person to ask for Yuchen. Isn't this what the high priest meant?
Thinking of this, I said to the Demon King, "Senior Brother, I will go with you to see Li Nangeng. Senior Brother, don't worry, we will not bring trouble to the Demon World."
Hearing what I said, the Demon King frowned, raised his hand and slapped me, and said angrily, "Little Junior Sister, you think that Senior Brother is too cowardly. I'm not telling you this to make you
Hand it over. I just want you to be more vigilant and protect Yuchen. This is the devil's world, my territory, a world that I created with blood and sweat. Even if he is the Emperor of the Three Realms, he can't even think of being in my territory.
Go wild on the territory! If he really dares to fight with me here, then the demon general in my hand will not be a vegetarian. I will fight with him on the spot, and we will fight directly to the heaven. Maybe I can change from the demon king to the emperor of heaven."
I know that the devil has no desire to fight for power, otherwise he would not stay far away from the war in heaven.
Nowadays, with the war in heaven and the chaos in the three realms, the demon world has become the most stable place. During this period, many immortals who did not want to participate in the fight fled to the demon world, which made the demon world more lively and powerful.
I don’t want to start a war in the demon world because of us, causing everyone to lose their last pure land, and I don’t want to implicate the demon king.
I looked at the Demon King with emotion and said, "Senior Brother, I know you are protecting me, but fighting is not the only way to solve the problem. I will go with you to see Li Nangeng. Maybe there is room for change in this matter."
The devil doesn't want to fight. If there is a peaceful solution, he will be happy.
He told me that it was okay to take me to see Li Nangeng, but I had to promise him one thing, that is, not to agree to any of Li Nangeng's conditions because I was afraid of injuring him.
"Little junior sister, the biggest rule of our sect is to protect one's weaknesses. If something goes wrong, we all work together. We don't need you to sacrifice yourself for us."
"Yes, Senior Brother is right." After the Demon King finished speaking, Shi Xin walked in from outside.
I turned around and looked over, and Shi Li and Ming Si also came in.
Senior sister Mingsi said, "Let's go to meet Li Nangeng together, just to test his attitude. If he doesn't care, then we can find a way to rescue the second senior brother and Xiao Liu."
Looking at them, I feel grateful.
After walking out of the main hall, the Demon King took several of us brothers and sisters into the air and went straight to the sky.
Probably because he did not want to be an enemy of the Demon King, Li Nangeng led the heavenly troops to stay high in the sky, which did not bring any sense of oppression to the Demon King's City. The people in the Demon King's City did not even know that there was an army stationed in the sky.
But after taking off into the air, I looked up and saw the troops arrayed neatly to the edge, and I felt a sense of oppression approaching.
At the front of the huge heavenly soldiers, there was a golden dragon chair, and a man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe sat on the dragon chair. A dazzling light flashed on his face, as if his head were the headlights of a car.
, it’s so dazzling that you can’t see his appearance at all.
This man is none other than Li Nangeng. It turns out that he also looked this mysterious after leaving heaven.
