Chapter Twenty-Four: The Battle of Wits in the Banquet Hall

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar below. Although this matter has been vaguely rumored before, but at this moment, the corpse demon suddenly mentioned this matter, or in front of the demon venerable and all the demons, and his intention was really shocking.

Compared with the panicked crowd, the few people sitting in the hall were much calmer. Liyang raised his eyebrows slightly, and then drank; The demon king twisted his beard and was silent; Hee Yin still sat expressionlessly.

Hanchen smiled and looked at the reactions of everyone below, and said to the corpse demon, "This matter is indeed done by Benjun, so next, what does Aiqing plan to do with Benjun?" ”

"Wei Chen thinks that the Demon Venerable is no longer suitable to be the lord of my Demon Realm, and we should choose another virtuous person." The corpse demon said proudly.

"Oh? So who does Aiqing think can replace Benjun and take on this great responsibility? Hanchen smiled, but there was a sharp light in his eyes, "Let Benjun guess, is it the Demon King, or you?" ”

The demon king frowned slightly when he heard this, and vaguely felt that something was wrong. The corpse demon didn't notice it, coughed lightly, and said, "This, naturally, must be jointly selected by the colleagues in the demon world." ”

"That's right," Hanchen nodded, leaned back on the throne, and said slowly in a low voice, "What if Benjun is unwilling to give way?" ”

"According to Weichen, it is better for the Demon Venerable to conform to the way of heaven, otherwise I am afraid that he will end up in ashes like the previous Demon Venerable." The demon king Hei Zheng said leisurely.

"Same as the previous Demon Venerable?" Hanchen sneered slightly, stood up, and said to the people in His Highness, "I, Hanchen, ask myself, since I took office as the Demon Venerable, I have never done anything ashamed of the people of the Demon Clan, you can also think about it, in the past thousand years, have I ever killed innocents indiscriminately and disregarded human lives like the previous Demon Venerable?" ”

The people below shook their heads and said no. Hanchen paused, and then said, "Then do you know why I slaughtered the whole grain of Peach Blossom Valley this time?"

Because the people there are all dead soldiers left behind by the Nine Toads, they have been pretending to be ordinary civilians all these years, waiting for the opportunity to avenge the previous Demon Venerable Nine Toads! A few days ago, it was discovered that they were trying to secretly contact the son of the former Demon Venerable, who is now the Corpse Demon Lord, and wanted to help him kill the king and seize the throne. So Benjun used winemaking as an excuse to recruit the valley lord into the palace, wanting to explore their reality. Sure enough, the valley lord took advantage of the unpreparedness and sneaked to the bedroom of Mrs. Snake Queen, intending to contact the corpse demon roe deer through the mouth of Snake Queen. Therefore, under the pretext of the rudeness of the valley owner, this monarch slaughtered the grain, and it is expected that he will be able to lead out the thieves who want to commit rebellion through the evil government. ”

The corpse demon was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't expect that there was such a story in it. "So, you already knew?"

Hanchen glanced at him mockingly, but did not speak.

The corpse demon glanced at the mountains in the distance, and saw that there was a previously agreed signal released, knowing that their men and horses were approaching the Demon Palace, and their hearts were at ease. Immediately sneered, "Whether you know it in advance or not, you are powerless to return to the sky at this moment." ”

"Hanchen, I advise you to be obediently tied up and captured, in this case, we may be merciful and leave you a whole corpse." Snake Ji couldn't bear it anymore, walked straight to the front of the hall, and said with a smug smile, "Let me tell you the truth, now the entire demon capital is under our control." I advise you to get acquainted with each other, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Hanchen curled the corners of his lips, "Really?" Then I'd like to see how you don't show me mercy. ”

The corpse demon snorted coldly and said, "Toast and don't eat and drink", and then the bandages on both hands suddenly hit Han Chen, Han Chen tilted his head slightly, and then dodged lightly. The figure flashed, jumped to the front of the temple, and beckoned the corpse demon.

The corpse demon was obviously not his opponent, and after a dozen moves, he fell behind. The demon king could see it clearly from the side, although he was annoyed that the brother and sister were too impatient, but he couldn't just leave it alone. So while frowning and stepping forward to help the corpse demon, he hinted with his eyes that Liyang also came to help.

Receiving the hint, Liyang slowly got up and stepped forward, and then, with a sword from behind, pierced the heart of the corpse demon.

The corpse demon's eyes widened, and he looked back at him in disbelief, a mouthful of blood spurting out, and slowly falling to the ground.

Snake Queen let out a loud "ah" and fell to the ground. The demon king was also taken aback, but he instantly understood, and said angrily, "Liyang, you, it turns out that you are actually his person!" ”

Liyang smiled casually, "Yes, I thought that the demon king, your old man was very wise, but I just found out." ”

The demon king glared at him angrily, and after blocking Hanchen's attack, he swung his sword and slashed at him, but before he could get to him, suddenly, a cold sword was placed on his neck.

Turning around, he saw that Xi Yin was looking at him indifferently, and the sword in his hand reflected a cold light.

"Report." The guards outside the hall reported loudly, "Qi Demon Venerable, the lurking corpse demons and the people and horses of the demon world have been captured, and they have all been disarmed and imprisoned. ”

"Well done, tell the brothers who have made meritorious contributions tonight that everyone will be rewarded."

"Thank you Demon Venerable, we swear allegiance to Demon Venerable." The guard replied loudly.

Everyone in the hall also reacted, and knelt down one after another, "We swear allegiance to the Demon Venerable." ”

When the demon king saw this, he knew that the general trend had gone, so he raised his head and laughed, "Haha, you are a good winter, this king has been fighting all his life, but I didn't expect to be calculated by a few of you hairy boys in the end." Good, good. ”

Said Yin Yin smiled, "However, you think that this is the end, then you are wrong. Let me tell you, I have arranged for people to bury countless spirit bullets in this palace a long time ago, and no one but me knows the exact location of these spirit bullets. As he spoke, he recited a series of incantations, "There is still half a pillar of incense before those spirit bullets are about to explode, and it is too late to run now, you guys, give me a funeral." Hahaha. ”

Hanchen squinted slightly, "Are you sure?" Are you sure you want your precious daughter to bury you too? ”

The Demon King suddenly stopped laughing and glared at Han Chen fiercely, "What did you say?" What did you do with Mo'er? ”

"Now it's not what I do to her, it's what you're going to do to her." Hanchen said lightly.

"Hanchen, you despicable villain, you actually caught Mo'er to threaten me!"

"Each other, in terms of despicability and shamelessness, you and I are half a pound and eight taels. As for catching your daughter," Han Chen smiled slightly, "Although I know that you can't win against me, I still feel that it will be safer to have some chips in my hand." Look, that's where it comes in. ”

The demon king struggled to pounce and fight with him, but was re-restrained by Liyang and Xiyin, and roared unwillingly, "What do you want? ”

"I don't want to do anything, I just want the demon king to accumulate some virtue for his descendants, destroy the spirit bullet you buried in advance, and the little princess of the province will suffer these unwarranted disasters."

The demon king gradually calmed down, was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled mockingly, and said, "Even if I destroy the spirit bullet so that Mo'er can live, you will still kill her in the future." In that case, instead of being tortured to death by you, it is better to let me, as a father, send her on her way now. ”

As soon as the decisive words landed, a crisp call was heard outside, "Father." ”

The demon king turned around and saw his daughter standing at the door, looking at him with teary eyes, and said, "What are you bad people going to do to my father?" ”

Hei Mo saw two men holding her father, and was anxious to rush over, "Let go, you let go of me, father!" Father! ”

The demon king looked at her distressedly, and said guiltily, "Mo'er, I'm sorry, my father is incompetent and can't protect you." Don't worry, your father won't leave you alone, and your father will accompany you. ”

Hei Mo was still struggling desperately, and in a fit of anger, he bit the hand of the guard who was holding her, and the guard was in pain, and with an instinctive flick, he actually threw the little princess out of the palace gate.

"Mo'er!" The Demon King exclaimed.

The steps of the main hall were very high, and Hei Mo was thrown into the air, and he was about to fall to the ground, when a figure suddenly flashed out, and caught her just before he landed.

Xiao Zhao'er stood up with her in her arms, returned to the main hall, gently put Hei Mo in the corner of the side, and untied her cloak to cover her.

"Don't worry, Lord Demon King, the princess just fainted and wasn't injured." Xiao Zhao'er walked up to the demon king and said.
