After a long time, Ji Tianxing's honor guard passed through half of the city and entered the entrance of the Imperial Palace in the Forest of Divine Steles.
The people of all ethnic groups on both sides of the street dispersed in small groups.
The inconspicuous man in black robe among the crowd quietly left the street and quickly ran out of Zhongzhou City.
After leaving the north city gate, the man in black robe entered the rolling mountains and ran for four hundred miles at lightning speed.
An hour later, he left Zhongzhou City, entered the depths of the majestic mountains, and crawled into a stone cave hidden inside the mountain peaks.
The cave seems to be naturally formed, but in fact it is winding and winding inside, with artificial tunnels and corridors.
The man in black robe walked through twists and turns in the corridor, and only entered the depths of the cave after a quarter of an hour.
The dimly lit cave was filled with a faint chill and blood.
The cave is not big, only about ten meters in diameter.
The ground and cave walls are both rough rock walls. There are only two futons made of large millstones, a few stone benches and a stone table in the cave.
Sitting on a futon made of black cold iron stone was an unusually tall and bald man wearing a scarlet robe.
This man was three meters tall and as strong as an iron tower. His neck and arms exposed outside his robe were covered with thick purple hair.
Obviously, this ferocious bald man is a powerful demon!
The man in black robe came to the cave, saluted respectfully to the bald man, and reported in a deep voice: "King Gale Demon, your subordinates have already obtained the information.
That reptile Ji Tianxing returned to Zhongzhou City today."
The Gale Demon King's big copper-bell eyes stared closely at the man in black robes, revealing a deep joy.
"Urakawa, is this news true?"
The black-robed man named Wu Chuan once again raised his hands and said: "This news is absolutely true. Just now, my subordinates saw Ji Tianxing's honor guard in the city and went to the emperor's palace."
The Gale Demon King suddenly grinned, his eyes bursting with intense light.
"Great! That little bastard is finally back! It's worth our while to take the risk of coming to Zhongzhou City and wait here for a month!
Wu Chuan, you will continue to lurk in the city and monitor the city's movements at all times.
Once Ji Tianxing leaves the Emperor's Mansion, you must report to me immediately!
Huh! As long as I let this king catch that kid, our Gale Tribe will become a great hero, and we will definitely be appreciated and rewarded by His Majesty the Demon Emperor in the future!"
Having said this, the Gale Demon King's eyes showed a look of intense anticipation.
Wu Chuan was silent for a moment and then asked in confusion: "Master Demon King, my subordinates still don't understand why His Majesty the Demon King gave orders to many tribes to capture Ji Tianxing no matter what?"
Although that human boy has some abilities, he is not worthy of His Majesty the Demon Emperor’s massive effort, right?”
When talking about this issue, the Gale Demon King's expression became dignified and serious.
He stared at Wu Chuan with burning eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Wuchuan, this matter is a secret that His Majesty the Demon Emperor has strictly ordered to discuss, and it must not be spread outside.
However, you are my adopted son, so I believe you and tell you the truth.
When His Majesty the Demon Emperor fled back to the Northern Desert, his vitality was severely damaged and his strength was very weak. He had to recuperate for many years before he could recover.
But Ji Tianxing possesses the blood of the Sword God, which is the blood of the supreme god and has incredible effects.
If His Majesty the Demon Emperor can obtain the blood of the Sword God, he can develop the infinite power of the divine blood and quickly restore his vitality and strength.
In this way, our demon tribe will have its day and we will surely be able to restore our former glory!"
Hearing Gale Demon King's explanation, Wu Chuan was suddenly filled with surprise and shouted in disbelief: "That lowly human boy actually has the blood of the Sword God? How is this possible?"
After being stunned for a moment, he came back to his senses, suddenly understood, and nodded repeatedly.
"No wonder that kid is called the number one monster in the human race, and he has become the overlord of a party at the age of only eighteen years old.
That’s it! No wonder after His Majesty the Demon Emperor’s order was issued, demon kings from all tribes came out in full force, vowing to capture Ji Tianxing and offer it to His Majesty the Demon Emperor.”
Gale Demon King nodded and said with a majestic expression: "Wuchuan, you just understand the importance of this matter!
Our Gale Wind Tribe, among the hundreds of tribes in the Northern Desert, is weak and does not have abundant resources, so it has almost no chance of getting ahead.
If I can capture Ji Tianxing and offer him to His Majesty the Demon Emperor, it will be a great achievement.
By then, with the support of His Majesty the Demon Emperor, our Gale Tribe will be able to become a top tribe!
However, there are more than a dozen tribal leaders who have the same purpose as me and have also come to Zhongzhou.
We must seize the time and act before those leaders, and we cannot let others take away this credit!"
Wu Chuan nodded quickly and said in a solemn tone: "I understand, my subordinates! However, Ji Tianxing can compete with a strong man at the seventh level of Tianyuan Realm, so Lord Demon King, you still need to be cautious!"
Gale Demon King waved his hands disapprovingly and sneered: "Since I dare to take risks in Zhongzhou City, I am sure that I can defeat him!
Even if I cannot capture him alive, I will kill him at all costs and bring his body back to His Majesty the Demon Emperor."
Wu Chuan bowed his hands and said, "I would like to wish the Demon King a successful victory, successfully capture Ji Tianxing, and win the appreciation of His Majesty the Demon King!"
I have resigned, and I will go back to Zhongzhou City and keep an eye on it. If there is any trouble, I will report the news to you."
After saluting, Wu Chuan turned around and left the cave, rushing to Zhongzhou City.
…
At the same time, Ji Tianxing's honor guard returned to the Emperor's Mansion and entered the Tianxing Palace.
Since he, Ji Ke and others left, there were only a dozen guards and maids left in the huge Tianxing Palace, which seemed extremely deserted.
Fortunately, no one came to visit during this period, and the Tianxing Palace was very peaceful and peaceful.
After the honor guard returned to Tianxing Palace, Ji Tianxing asked everyone to retreat and rest.
Originally, the two hundred people in the honor guard belonged to the Imperial Court and should have left the Imperial Palace and returned to the Imperial Court.
But the emperor gave these two hundred people to him. From now on, these people will be his servants and guards. They will stay in the Tianxing Palace on weekdays and serve as his guard of honor when he travels.
Ji Tianxing walked around the palace and inspected the defensive formations inside and outside.
After making sure that there was no problem with the formations, he returned to the room.
Although, Tianxing Palace is not as luxurious and spacious as the Territory Lord's Mansion.
But this place contains a stronger aura of heaven and earth, which is more suitable for retreat practice.
After Ji Tianxing arranged everything in the palace, he went into the secret room to practice in seclusion.
But at this moment, a guard came to report that the Emperor Long Yunxiao had come to visit.
Ji Tianxing inquired and found out that Long Yunxiao came alone to convey some news to him.
"I didn't expect that he would hear the news so soon after I returned to the Emperor's Mansion."
