In the ancient corridor, Han Lie was walking behind the bearded old man. The closer he got to the end of the corridor, the more ancient and majestic he felt, which made people's hearts beat faster.【】
"This is……"
When Han Lie walked into the hall, he was completely stunned by the scenery in front of him. He never expected to see this scene after so many years.
A nine-story altar is located in the center of the ancient and majestic palace. Each stone step is covered with the bones of countless monsters. The altar seems to have been dyed blood-red over the years, and there are green flames beating around it, like
Some kind of mysterious ritual is going on.
There is a stone platform in the center of the top of the blood altar. This stone platform is covered with many mysterious runes, and there are several gullies with blood-red liquid flowing upwards into the depression in the center of the stone platform.
A milky-white monster egg was placed in the depression. It looked like it was absorbing power from the blood-red liquid, and it was emitting little auras.
Not far from the stone platform, Yuan Tiangang was sitting on a majestic stone bench. His figure looked even thinner than before, and his face was no longer so bright. He looked like he had stepped into the oil field.
The state of being in a state where the lights are dry.
Upon closer inspection, blood was flowing out bit by bit from Yuan Tiangang's wrist resting on the chair, flowing along the small ravines on the floor of the altar and toward the top of the stone platform.
That monster egg is absorbing Yuan Tiangang's blood!
After seeing Han Lie walking into the hall, Yuan Tiangang showed a rather tired smile and said, "I didn't expect that we would meet so soon."
Hearing this, Han Lie did not answer immediately, but glanced at the bearded man next to him in surprise. When he walked in, the man stared at him with cold eyes, exuding a murderous look.
His thoughts were wrapped around him, and he had no doubt that if he made the slightest move, he would be attacked like a violent storm.
Han Lie was not frightened by this murderous intention. Instead, he smiled at the bearded man, then turned to Yuan Tiangang and said, "Did you open the door for me just now?"
Yuan Tiangang nodded slowly, and said with a hint of weakness in his voice: "I can control the power of this ancient palace by sitting on this throne. Although I believed you had some relationship with the demon clan before, I didn't expect it.
You know how to use the ancient covenant, it seems that you are really worthy of our Dongzhou Monster Clan's trust."
Han Lie said noncommittally: "It's been so many years. Who knows whether you will stick to it now?"
Yuan Tiangang didn't care about his attitude at all, but showed some appreciation in his eyes, and then said with a pale smile: "If you don't want to abide by the covenant, how can you be alone and take risks? If you don't have trust in me, the Dongzhou Monster Clan, and
How can you enter here with only the strength of the Spiritual Wheel Realm?"
Han Lie showed a slight sneer on his face and said: "I don't trust the Dongzhou Monster Clan, I just trust you."
"court death!"
The bearded old man was furious when he heard this, and the murderous aura around him suddenly became several times stronger. He raised his hand to kill Han Lie here.
At this moment, Han Lie suddenly turned his head and glanced at him. His eyes were as cold as knives, but they also contained something special. A little purple lightning was clearly visible in his pupils.
"you……"
The bearded old man looked at him with a horrified face. His right hand could not fall down despite any words. He felt an irresistible pressure enveloped him. This was not the pressure when fighting against a strong man, but more like
Standing in front of him was an elder from the demon clan.
This breath is full of dignity and inviolability...
"Um?"
Surprise appeared in Yuan Tiangang's eyes again, and then he took a deep look at Han Lie and said, "It seems that the Demon Emperor has indeed taken care of you."
After saying that, he showed a little sadness on his face, sighed and said: "You are right, most of the demon clan in Dongzhou cannot be trusted now, and the demon clan outside are enough to prove this."
Han Lie did not answer his words, but looked up at the milky-white monster egg and said, "If you continue to sacrifice with a close call, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow."
Yuan Tiangang's whole body trembled slightly, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Han Lie became completely different. Finally, he sighed quietly: "The Human Race's reputation as Sky Summit is indeed well-deserved. Perhaps in terms of seniority, I can only be regarded as a junior. But you
If you don't claim the name of Shangding Dingding today, I won't bring you here."
Han Lie nodded, knowing that the demon clan never liked foreigners interfering in internal affairs.
Yuan Tiangang looked at the milky white monster egg, with respect and enthusiasm in his eyes, and said: "This is the last hope of my Dongzhou Monster Clan. Even if I suck all the stinky skin out of me, I am willing to do it. As long as
If this great man can be born into the world, the Dongzhou Monster Clan will surely rise again!"
After Han Lie heard this sentence, he knew that the reason why Yuan Tiangang was in such a weak state due to his short time was definitely because he kept sacrificing this monster egg with his own essence.
Now there is not much essence left in his body, and his realm has dropped to an extreme level. If this continues, it will really be drained away by that monster egg.
But all of this was done willingly...
Han Lie looked at the withered bones around the altar, frowned and said: "So many great demons are offering sacrifices here, why are you the only one left now? And there must be many terrifying demon clans hidden in Dongzhou.
Why do you have to bear all this by yourself?"
Hearing this, Yuan Tiangang's eyes showed a little sadness and said: "Since the decline of the Dongzhou Monster Clan, many Monster Clan have become a mess, and some extremely powerful old monsters have no hope for the birth of this adult.
, so he couldn’t get out of seclusion and wanted to pass the realm one step further and become the Demon King of Dongzhou.”
"Nowadays, some of the slightly famous juniors among the demon clan have become ambitious. After knowing that I have a demon clan treasure in my hand, they didn't dare to show it at first. But since my realm fell, I want to take advantage of those demon clan's treasures.
The old monster went into seclusion, took the things from my hands, and reached the sky in one step."
After hearing these words, Han Lie didn't show any surprise on his face. He just sighed silently. Sometimes, the struggle for power among the demon clan was far more bloody and cruel than that of the human clan.
At this time, Yuan Tiangang looked at the corpses around the altar and sighed: "Simply, there are so many admirable ancestors of the Dongzhou Monster Clan who dare to make sacrifices, and I will sit here today, and join the effort."
There are some preparations before going up, which should be enough for this gentleman to be born."
"Senior Ancient Ape, the Dongzhou Demon Clan cannot live without you!"
The bearded man suddenly looked horrified when he heard this and said something urgently.
Yuan Tiangang glanced at him with relief and said: "The demon clan has always respected strength. Now that I am in this situation, what can I do even if I can continue to live? If you hadn't ordered the men in the forest to resist outside this time,
, this place has already been breached, and it’s really hard on you.”
The bearded old man said with tears: "This is what I should do as a member of the demon clan, and I was also grateful for your care back then..."
Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said: "You should still hate me. Because of my arrival, the forest you control fell into war and all your sons died miserably here. If you hate me, I will feel better.
"
Hearing this, Han Lie understood in his heart the identity of this bearded man. He was actually the demon king in this forest. No wonder he could make the demon beasts in the forest resist so fiercely without fear of death.
At this time, Yuan Tiangang stopped the bearded man from continuing to speak with his eyes, turned around and said to Han Lie with twinkling eyes: "My friend Futianding, can I entrust you with the last hope of the Dongzhou Monster Clan?"
"Senior, no, I am willing to protect this gentleman at the cost of my life!"
When Big Beard heard that Yuan Tiangang was going to entrust the monster egg to Han Lie, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged. In his opinion, it was better to entrust it to the human race than to entrust it to himself.
The human race is simply unreliable!
Yuan Tiangang looked at the anxious look on the bearded face, with a deep look of regret in his eyes, shook his head and said, "You can't save it."
"Yes! How about I go out and kill those bastards now to prove myself!" The bearded man begged.
Hearing this, Han Lie glanced at the bearded man in surprise. He knew in his heart that with his strength, he could definitely kill the monsters outside, including the leaders, but why didn't he go out?
Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said: "Humans like to play chess. This time I will also play a chess game that all monsters cannot understand. You must hide it and not be exposed. You shoulder a more important mission.
"
After speaking, he looked at Han Lie and said, "Can you give me an answer?"
When Han Lie heard this, he said with a smile in his eyes: "You don't know the current situation of Futianding, do you?"
Since Yuan Tiangang is a giant of the Dongzhou Monster Clan, he will definitely know that Futianding no longer exists. Even if it happens in the distant Zhongzhou, there is always a way to deliver some important news.
What does he mean by entrusting the future demon king of the Dongzhou Demon Clan to himself who has nothing?
Yuan Tiangang looked at him deeply and said, "Just because you know, you will take good care of this adult and spare no effort to protect him, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Han Lie's heart moved. He looked at him thoughtfully and said, "Can you trust me?"
Yuan Tiangang smiled, looked into his eyes, and said, "It's like you trust me so much."
Han Lie thought carefully for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, if your flesh and blood essence can completely satisfy this person, I don't mind taking it with me to take good care of it, and by the way, give it the secret technique of the demon clan.
"
This existence hidden in the monster egg was not successfully born even with so many monster corpses. God knows what price he would have to pay to cultivate it if it had not hatched after Yuan Tiangang died...
But if this little demon king can be successfully born, those old monsters hiding in the depths of Dongzhou will definitely not sit idly by. When this demon king grows up, they can order the demon clan of Dongzhou to revive themselves.
In terms of overturning the sky, it is a total benefit without any harm.
