Chapter 37: Exploring the Demon Realm
On the wall of the magnificent palace of the Demon Palace, a black shadow swept quickly under the cover of the night, and there were demon soldiers patrolling back and forth around, but they did not notice anything abnormal at all, just like that, Zhige came to the palace where the demon high priest usually divined and alchemy.
Avoiding the demon chamberlain, Zhi Ge was about to stealthily enter the inner hall, but unfortunately she heard footsteps coming from outside the hall, so she hurriedly hid to the pillar on the side of the main hall. Although this stealth technique is convenient, it is easy to be noticed by people with high cultivation, and it is better for her to be careful.
"The second prince asked me to speed up the progress, is there a result for the people sent to collect breath?" A hoarse voice sounded, Zhi Ge secretly observed, the voice came from the mouth of an old man with a long beard holding a cane, it seemed that that person was the high priest of the Demon Realm.
Behind him, a disciple-like person followed, and replied respectfully: "Some of the demon soldiers have found the breath of the Great Prince, and with what we have now, the day of the Great Prince's rebirth will soon be approaching." ”
"Hmm...... That's good, it's better to hurry!" The priest instructed the disciples around him as he walked towards the inner sanctum.
Seeing that they all entered the inner hall, Zhi Ge dared to come out, and after scanning the left and right with his eyes, he also followed into the inner hall.
However, when she entered, she saw only bookshelves and desks in the inner sanctum, and there was no human figure.
Strange, Zhi Ge frowned, she had just seen the high priest and his disciples enter the inner hall together, could it be that there is another heaven and earth in this inner hall?
Squinted his eyes and carefully inspected, but still still couldn't find the location of the mechanism, Zhi Ge was a little discouraged, and was about to go to other places to explore, but heard footsteps coming from the outer hall, and then, a person wearing the same clothes as the disciple just now hurriedly walked in, skillfully turned a brocade box on the bookshelf, "click", the bookshelf slowly turned, Zhi Ge bent the corners of his mouth, and quickly turned into a barely invisible light smoke and followed the disciple into the bookshelf.
This is a large place like an alchemy room, and there is a lilac vial hanging in the center of the room, and when Zhi Ge takes a closer look, there is a black aura inside. There are four tripods of the same size in each corner of the platform under the bottle, and what is burning in the tripod is the red lotus karmic fire of the demon clan!
Could it be that this bottle contains Bo Wu's breath? Zhi Ge looked at the purple vial hanging in the air, thinking in his heart how to destroy their strange Qi Gathering Formation and postpone the day of Bo Wu's rebirth indefinitely. But suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and the doubts in her heart expanded little by little from when she received the secret letter.
She has lived for more than 800 years, and has led the demon world to fight against the demons no less than 100 times, but she has never heard of any method of gathering qi that can make the escaped demons gather qi and be reborn as soon as possible!
At this moment, the little disciple who had just come in behind him knelt down and reported: "Master Qiqi, one of our demon soldiers sent to collect breath was captured by General Chenyan of the Demon Realm, and the breath of the great prince also fell into their hands. ”
"What?" the High Priest immediately stepped forward and asked, "Could it be that they discovered that we used the Purple Fire Demon Array to resurrect the Great Prince?"
The disciple hesitated for a moment, and replied: "There shouldn't be, this Purple Fire Demon Array was newly created by the master when he collected ancient books in combination with the ancient formation, there has never been such a formation in the Demon Realm before, and the Demon Realm should have just caught the demon soldier who collected the breath this time." ”
The high priest pondered for a moment and instructed the two disciples beside him, "Get up." Pass the order, from today onwards, strictly guard my dormitory, idle people are not allowed to enter, the formation here must be kept secret, if it is known by the people of the demon world, the consequences are unimaginable. ”
The two disciples beside him listened and replied in unison.
At this moment, a woman's laughter rang out in the empty alchemy room, followed by a deliberately changing voice: "Hahaha...... It's late. ”
The high priest and the two disciples were both surprised and panicked and searched left and right for the person who spoke up, and a dark shadow suddenly appeared, running directly towards the purple bottle in mid-air. The high priest secretly said that something was wrong, and immediately held his staff to hit the black shadow, the black shadow flexibly dodged the attack, grabbed the purple bottle and held it in his hand, and after she stopped standing on the stage, the woman raised the purple bottle in her hand and shook it to the three people in the audience, and said coquettishly: "The breath of your great prince, I will laugh at it......!"
The laughter like silver bells sprinkled all over the alchemy room, and the black shadow instantly moved towards the exit, and when the high priest saw it, he immediately raised his staff and struck at her again, but unfortunately, she was still agile and dodged.
In the alchemy room, the girl's silver bell-like laughter had not yet dissipated, and the high priest's beard was about to be crooked. He slammed his staff to the ground and roared angrily: "Gather the demon soldiers immediately, and you must snatch back the breath of the great prince!"
Zhi Ge was speeding through the vast Demon Palace, and the guards had been sounded everywhere in the Demon Palace, and there were brigades of demon soldiers everywhere who were closely searching.
Alas, it's good that the demon clan has a long life, and the wealth accumulated over the past 100,000 years has built this demon palace, and the area is really terrifying! Zhi Ge ran for a long time and didn't run back to the place where he first came in, and he could only sigh helplessly that the demon lord was really rich!
At this time, a cloud of purple light mixed with silver lightning attacked Zhi Ge, Zhi Ge dodged, stood still and looked up at the attacker, and sighed silently in his heart.
It's the Demon Lord Jun-ho!
The demon clan and the demon clan have been fighting for thousands of years, the reasons are large and small, strange and strange, in the final analysis, it is because the demon lord has a troublesome and ambitious prince Bo Wu, and the demon emperor has a righteous daughter who has revenge and natural divine power, two or three hundred years ago, the demon emperor Yan Dan and the demon lord Jun Hao had an appointment to negotiate at the border on the issue of peace between the two worlds, and Bo Wu and Zhi Ge were also accompanied by Bo Wu at that time, so Zhi Ge remembered the appearance of the demon lord. It is a pity that Bo Wu got in the way of the peace talks, and the leaders of the two clans were unable to negotiate a final result for various reasons, and the matter of peace between the two clans was shelved.
Thinking of Na Bo Wu, Zhi Ge's evaluation of him is just one sentence: Although she is also a person who does not like to be plain and stable and loves to make trouble in this heaven and earth, but compared to Bo Wu, the great prince of the demon world, she is really far from it, and she has never seen anyone in this world who loves to fight and crusade more than him.
It's not just nature, it's ambition!
With such an ambitious demon prince here, it is impossible to be peaceful in this world. Pity them in the demon world, because they have always been weak, they were regarded by Bo Wu as the first to open the knife, and they were always picked by Bo Wu for various reasons to provoke trouble, and finally gathered troops to attack, the ultimate goal was to include the demon world in the territory of the demon world. It's a pity, probably because of the destiny of heaven to arrange a rival for Bo Wu, Zhi Ge was born, and since then, every time the demon world is defeated, Bo Wu will hate Zhi Ge even when he sleeps at night.
Not to mention the past, now standing in front of Zhi Ge is Bo Wu's father, the emperor of the demon world. Fortunately, he would not be recognized if he was masked, and Zhige was a little lucky.
Joon-ho was dressed in civilian clothes, as if he had just come back from outside. He looked at the black-clothed and black-faced man in front of him, and said coldly with his hands behind his back: "No matter who you are, obediently hand over the Taixu bottle, and this gentleman will let you live." ”
The person on the other side did not move, nor did he answer. Seeing this, Jun Hao's killing intent was even more victorious, and his tone was extremely cold: "Look for death!"
In the face of the Demon Lord's galloping attack, Zhi Ge retreated and attacked, and gradually retreated to the edge of the Demon Palace. Jun Ho sensed her thoughts, and the killing moves in his hand were fully revealed. He didn't have to show mercy to the assassins who trespassed into the Demon Palace and stole his son's breath.
After a move, the right hand of the demon lord Junhao stretched out from in front of Zhige, wanting to take off the assassin's mask first to find out, but how could Zhige let him succeed so easily, a spin, Zhige jumped over Junhao's head, and when he was very close to Junhao, Zhige smelled a familiar smell, like some kind of flower and plant.
After failing to make a few moves, Junhao's moves became even faster and more fierce. Zhi Ge felt that she might not be able to get any good results by facing it head-on, and besides, she had to rush back to Qingyao Mountain before dawn to attend morning class.
Thinking like this, Zhi Ge didn't want to dwell too much, and only looked for an opportunity to escape from the Demon Palace. But the Demon Lord Junhao is also a figure who has lived for tens of thousands of years, and he is also the leader of the Demon Realm, and his cultivation is unfathomable, not to mention, the experience of this battle alone is probably more than the meat that Zhi Ge has eaten. Soon, while Zhi Ge was distracted, the Demon Lord struck out a hard palm, and Zhi Ge quickly fled after receiving this palm.
Hearing the news, the demon soldiers who rushed to chase immediately got up to chase after them, Jun Hao waved his hand to signal them to retreat, and the worried demon general asked: "But the Taixu bottle and the breath of the Great Prince are in that person's hands, if you don't take this person, the day of the Great Prince's rebirth will be postponed." ”
"Then let's postpone it. Jun Ho commanded majestically as he looked at the night sky where the black shadow had disappeared. How many people in this world can survive his slap and not die, but can escape safely? Besides, how could that man be caught so easily? But this time he was so badly wounded, that man was afraid that he would be sad.
"Ahem. Zhi Ge leaned on a big tree and spat out a mouthful of blood. She wiped her mouth, sat down slowly against the trunk of the tree, and took out the Taixu bottle that she had snatched with great difficulty from her sleeve, and the black breath in the bottle was tumbling violently, as if she understood what fate awaited him next.
Zhi Ge stared at the breath inside, and laughed coldly: "Bo Wu, offended." ”
After speaking, she opened the bottle and poured all the breath into the Ten Thousand Souls Demon Bottle, and after pouring it, she stretched out her right hand to ignite the Ten Thousand Souls Demon Fire, and put the Ten Thousand Souls Demon Bottle into the fire and refined it.
After the breath in the bottle had been refined, Zhi Ge's face turned a little whiter. She looked in the direction of Qingyao Mountain in the distance, struggled to get up, and forced herself to fly towards Qingyao Mountain with the clouds.
The clouds landed, and Zhi Ge returned to the place where she had come out of Qing, on the other side of the enchantment, and Li Wei was standing there waiting for her.
After the barrier was opened by the spell of Leaving Worry inside, Zhi Ge walked in step by step, and when she reached the front of Leaving Worry, she finally couldn't support it and fell on top of him.
Hurriedly picked up Zhi Ge, but only saw the pale Zhi Ge smiling at him, and then fainted in his arms.
In the silent night, the man hugged the injured girl in his arms tightly, his eyes full of worry and distress.
