Chapter Ninety-Six: The Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan
Three days of waiting and binge drinking have finally come to an end.
Shi Jiu couldn't hold back the excitement and doubts in his heart, he pulled Old Man Li and asked, "Senior, I have something to ask." May I ask why Meng Qingchun volunteered to become a demon saint?"
"You've been waiting for three days, so why rush for a while?" Old man Li said: "This question, naturally someone will tell you, knowing it too early, it will not benefit you!"
Shi Jiu was silent for a while, and although he was unwilling to do so, he didn't continue to ask.
Shi Jiu felt more and more that there were too many stories and too many secrets buried in Old Man Li's heart.
Old man Li said to Shi Jiu: "Tonight is the ascension ceremony of the holy daughter who dreams of youth. I promised to take you there, but I want to emphasize beforehand, you have to promise me first!"
Shi Jiu nodded without hesitation and said, "As long as I can see Meng Qingchun, no matter what the conditions, I can agree!"
Old man Li thought for a while and said, "I will take you to see the ascension ceremony of the demon clan saintess, which is bound to cause you to be excited. But you have to keep your emotions down, you can't do anything drastic, and you can't interfere with the ritual in any way. ”
Shi Jiu nodded sincerely.
Old man Li continued: "If you don't listen to the dissuasion of my old friend, I will tell you the consequences a long time ago, not only Mengqing, but the two of us are probably also in danger. As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. You know that, right?"
Shi Jiu nodded firmly and said, "I understand, I will definitely be able to restrain myself!
Old man Li stared at Shi Jiu and said solemnly: "There is one more thing, you must also do it!"
"What's the matter, senior, but it's okay to say it!" Shi Jiu smiled: "As long as I can do it, I will definitely obey the orders of my senior." ”
Old man Li pointed to the void pendant on Shi Jiu's chest and said, "You must cover up the light of this pendant on your chest, you know the demon clan's fear and desire for light, don't cause unnecessary disputes for this." ”
"Okay, I'll give it a try!" Shi Jiu didn't know if he could control the glow of the Void Pendant, as he had never tried it before.
Shi Jiu tried to guide it with his consciousness, and then wiped a handful of Void Pendant with his hand, and sure enough, the light of the Void Pendant could indeed be controlled at will with the change of his will, no wonder Meng Qingchun said that this small pendant was a treasure of the underworld when he was in the Unpredictable City Duan Mansion.
Before the time came, Shi Jiu and Old Man Li had stopped drinking, and they returned to the cabin from the huge wine cellar.
At this moment, Shi Jiu couldn't hold back his excitement, and rubbed his hands anxiously, like a student who was about to enter the examination room.
He longed to see Meng Qingchun as soon as possible, but he was afraid to see her helpless and lost.
"Close your eyes and come with me!" Old Man Li finished speaking, and he had already taken Shi Jiu's hand.
Shi Jiu closed his eyes obediently, and let Old Man Li grab his hand, he felt his feet suddenly hang in the air, and the sound of whirring wind suddenly sounded in his ears.
About a pillar of incense, his feet paused, and he knew that he was already standing on solid ground.
"Alright, we're here!" Old Man Li let go of the hand that was holding him tightly, and then said, "You can open your eyes!"
Shi Jiu slowly opened his eyes and saw that they were already standing at the bottom of a huge basin surrounded by mountains, and a tall and majestic altar was erected in the center of the basin.
The altar was erected abruptly in front of him, Shi Jiu looked into the distance, and a weak figure on the altar caught Shi Jiu's eyes, dreaming of youth!
"Youth!" Shi Jiu called in a low voice, he strongly suppressed the excitement in his heart, but he still couldn't stop his heart from beating wildly!
Old man Li pressed Shi Jiu's shoulder and said, Steady, don't panic!
Shi Jiu took a deep breath, he gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously.
A few strange-looking monsters ran over, and they circled around next to Old Man Li and Shi Jiu a few times.
One of the green-haired demons said, "Old man Li, it seems that the Demon King only invited you, right?"
Old man Li smiled and nodded, but did not speak.
"So, this is the eldest or the second? Is it the third? But I've seen them all, none of them look like them? Old man Li, who is he? How did you turn them into like this?" said the green-haired demon in confusion.
Old man Li smiled and said, "Hehe, this is not any of their brothers!
"Today's promotion ceremony can't be attended by outsiders!" said the green-haired demon nervously with little eyes.
"He's not an outsider! Not only does your demon king know him, but he's also a great nobleman. Besides, he is also a guest I invited, if he can't be there, I can leave with me!" Old man Li suddenly rebelled with his reasoned words.
"He can't be that person, right?" the green-haired demon asked, "I've just heard of it, old man Li, don't lie to us!"
Old man Li patted Shi Jiu's shoulder and said with a smile: "How can my old man Li's words be nonsense?!Hehe, of course you can't be wrong, yes, he is the person recognized by the Demon King!"
The words that Old Man Li and a few demon clansmen said made Shi Jiu dizzy when he heard it.
The green-haired demon pulled the other two demon clan companions and hurriedly apologized, and moved two chairs from a distance and arranged for Old Man Li and Shi Jiu to sit down.
Several people from the demon clan formed a circle, standing near Shi Jiu and Old Man Li, and they looked extremely excited.
Shi Jiu looked at the weak figure on the altar, sighed and said, "There is actually something about me here!
After Old Man Li sat down, he replied to the question: "If the time is not enough, the demon king will not come out!"
Shi Jiu's eyes never left the dream youth on the altar.
He knew that Old Man Li wouldn't say more secrets, so he said slowly: "I really can't bear it, take a wisp of divine sense to see, how about the seniors help me set up an enchantment?"
Old man Li shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You are also exalting me too much, I haven't played such a profound thing in the enchantment for tens of thousands of years, and now I can't get it for a long time." Today's Old Man Li, his ability is limited to the soul stripping technique in his bloodline!"
Shi Jiu said suspiciously: "The predecessors have already achieved eight-star combat power, and it shouldn't be a problem to set up a small enchantment!"
Old man Li said: "Since the day I became a ferryman, I have vowed to use soul stripping only to surpass the deceased. Give up using the power of the battle star at any time and under any circumstances!Little brother, don't embarrass me!"
"Okay!" Shi Jiu didn't like to be strong, so he didn't continue to ask Old Man Li.
