Chapter 208: Nowhere to Run
After a while, Princess Linglong introduced the two demon clans to Gu Chen.
One of them appeared to be a septuagenarian with kind eyes, but he had two fox ears on the top of his head.
This person's name is Hu Shan, his body is a fox demon, and he worships the prime minister of the demon clan, and he can be called the brain trust of the demon emperor.
The second looks like a middle-aged strong man, with a fierce and vicious appearance, and a tall figure, a head taller than Nangong Yan, with two thick horns on his forehead.
This person's name is Niu Ting, and his body is a bull demon, the official worships the left general of the demon clan, and is one of the right-hand men of the demon emperor.
The demon race is different from the human race, the human race broke away from the imperial system very early, and changed to the self-control of the sect, with the powerful forces of all parties as the leader and the subordinate under their own jurisdiction.
And the imperial system of the demon clan has never changed since ancient times.
Headed by the Demon Emperor, there are civil and military officials under him, and those with high official positions are respected from top to bottom.
The promotion path of military generals is mainly by force, so the higher the official position, the stronger the strength.
Although civil officials are mainly intellectual, the demon clan has always advocated force, so force cannot be ignored.
Hu Shan and Niu Ting are the representatives of the demon clan's literature and martial arts respectively.
Although the cultivation realm division of the demon race and the human race is different, it is also similar, and its strength can be judged by the breath.
According to Gu Chen's observation, among them, Hu Shan probably had the strength of the Third Realm of the Heavenly Order, while Niu Ting had the strength of the Holy Realm.
The demon clan attached so much importance to it, not only let the princess of the demon clan greet her in person, but also let the prime minister accompany General Zuo, which really flattered Gu Chen.
But the more this is the case, the more Gu Chen feels that things are not simple, if it is just for a simple transaction, there is no need for the Demon Emperor to be so solemn, just send someone to inform Chi Li's whereabouts.
Or, with the strength of the demon clan, it is completely possible to take down the seriously injured Chi Li without much effort, so wouldn't it be better to send Chi Li directly to the Pantheist Sect?
"Sect Leader Gu has any doubts?" Hu Shan said with a smile as he touched his gray beard under his chin.
Gu Chen didn't go around in circles, and directly said the doubts in his heart.
Hu Shan smiled thoughtfully when he heard this, and said, "Hehe, I see! Sect Master Gu doesn't need to worry too much, the reason why my demon clan doesn't make a move on Chi Li is because of the agreement between the two clans, and the demon clan can't make a move on the human race at will! And His Majesty also admires Sect Leader Gu very much, since Sect Leader Gu is in person, we should treat each other with courtesy." ”
"I see!"
The reason why the human race and the demon race have been able to coexist peacefully for thousands of years is because the two races have always maintained a tacit understanding, and it turns out that this tacit understanding is actually caused by an agreement.
But this is also true, the strength of the demon race has always been weaker than that of the human race, and the initiative is naturally in the hands of the human race, as long as the human race does not take the initiative to violate, the demon race will not dare to make a mistake.
Although the human race seems to be scattered, this is a situation of external stability, and if a foreign enemy attacks, it will definitely put aside its prejudices and unite with the outside world.
Not to mention anything else, the three major Saint Realm powerhouses of the human race alone were enough to overwhelm the demon race.
Therefore, unless the demon clan really has the strength to compete with the human race, it can only remain honest and silent.
"Then there will be Prime Minister Lao Hu and General Niu!" Gu Chen said to the two.
"Sect Master Gu is polite, I don't know if Sect Master Gu plans to go to Chi Li's hiding place first or go to Ancestral Demon Island to rest for a while?" Hu Shan asked Gu Chen, pointing to the giant island in the distance.
"It's just a matter of Chi Li, it won't take much effort to take him down, in order to avoid too many dreams at night, let's solve this scourge first! Gu Chen said indifferently.
Hu Shan nodded, and was about to reply, but was interrupted by Princess Linglong.
"I'll take you there, I know where that strange man is hiding!" said Princess Linglong with a smile on her face.
Gu Chen hesitated for a while and glanced at Hu Shan.
Hu Shan also looked embarrassed and persuaded him: "Princess, this matter should be left to the people below, there is no need for you to take care of it! If you don't worry, the old man will personally lead the way for Sect Master Gu and the others." ”
"Grandpa Hu, don't be verbose, I finally took this opportunity to come out, so I don't want to go back so soon!" Princess Linglong said with a pout.
"But it is already Your Majesty's bottom line to let you come out to greet the distinguished guests of the Pantheon Sect, if you encounter danger, Your Majesty will not spare the old man, have you forgotten what happened last time?" Hu Shan persuaded with a bitter face.
"Don't worry, Gu Chen is very powerful, I won't be in danger with him, Grandpa Hu, you just let me go! I'm going to suffocate to death if I stay in the palace all day!" Princess Linglong shook Hu Shan's arm and said coquettishly.
Princess Linglong's expression of pity made Hu Shan unbearable for a while, and his heart was entangled.
In the end, Hu Shan failed to resist Princess Linglong's coquettish attack, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Okay! But you have to promise me not to run around, and come back quickly after solving Chi Li's problem!"
"Great!" said Princess Linglong, who jumped up and down on the water's surface with her feet on her feet, and let out a series of laughter like silver bells.
"General Zuo, I'm still a little worried, it's better for you to follow the princess, the old man will go back to the palace first to report to His Majesty. Hu Shan pulled Niu Ting and said.
"Don't worry, the prime minister will hand it over to the last general, and the last general will swear to protect the princess's safety!" Niu Ting patted his chest and promised.
Hu Shan nodded, and then saluted Gu Chen and said, "Sect Master Gu, the old man will be gone, and Her Royal Highness the Princess and General Zuo will accompany the three of you on this trip." ”
Gu Chen bowed his hand and saluted back: "Prime Minister Hu Cheng, please!"
Subsequently, Hu Shan left with a group of strange-looking demon clan masters.
Only Princess Linglong and Niu Ting were left.
"Come with me!" Princess Linglong beckoned to Gu Chen and the others, and then with a wave of her small hand, a huge wave rose from under her feet, supporting her towards the north.
Niu Ting didn't care about Gu Chen and the others, only to see his body move, driving a black demon wind to follow Princess Linglong's left and right.
"Let's go too!" Gu Chen said to Yi Guichen and Wen Xinliu.
Then the three of them turned into three streamers and followed Princess Linglong closely.
The five of them galloped all the way, and after more than a day, Princess Linglong finally stopped.
This place is far away from the place where the demons gather, and it is a remote area, with nothing but a few deserted islands and endless waters.
"Chi Li is actually hiding in a place where this kind of bird doesn't?" Yi Guichen said with a puzzled expression.
"There's something familiar here..."Gu Chen looked at a deserted island not far away with a thoughtful look.
"Have you been here? That strange man is in a cave under the island, under the sea. Princess Linglong said, pointing to a desert island.
Gu Chen suddenly realized that when he escaped from the unknown space in the void, it was from here that he returned to the Tian Yuan Continent! This can be said to be the place where Gu Chen has been reborn.
I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, Chi Li hid under this island.
Gu Chen hooked the corners of his mouth, and said to himself: "It's really providence! The fall of the Heavenly Demon Gate ushered in the rise of the Pantheistic Sect, and my Gu Chen's new place is the place where Chi Li's bones are buried, hehe, it's really interesting!"
Gu Chen's self-talk was not heard clearly, and Princess Linglong said impatiently to Gu Chen: "Hey, what are you muttering? Why don't you let General Niu help you force that strange man out? Submarine warfare is still more troublesome for your human race!"
"Don't bother General Niu, this is the grievance between our Pantheistic Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect, and we should settle it ourselves. Gu Chen politely refused.
"Hmph, don't pull it down!" Princess Linglong snorted coldly, turned her back and ignored Gu Chen.
Princess Linglong scolded in her heart: "Dead Gu Chen, stinky Gu Chen, this princess is kind enough to help you, but you don't appreciate it, I want to see what you can do!"
Gu Chen didn't pay attention to Princess Linglong's strange appearance, but asked Yi Guichen, "Elder Yi, have you sensed Chi Li's breath?"
Yi Guichen groaned for a while, and then said: "It is indeed Chi Li's breath, but due to the barrier of sea water, it may not be accurate to sense, and it is impossible to determine his specific location." Therefore, in order to prevent him from escaping, it is better for the old man to go to the sea alone, and it is more appropriate for the sect leader and the hall master to act above. ”
"Just do what Elder Yi said, Elder Yi still needs to be careful. Gu Chen nodded and said.
"Sect Master, don't worry!" Yi Guichen nodded in response.
Then he leaped into the sea and dived to the bottom of the sea.
"Sect Master, Elder Yi's Law Appearance is a bird, I'm afraid that the battle under the sea won't last long, will it be dangerous?" Wen Xinliu said worriedly.
"Last time, Chi Li was seriously injured and still had to endure the backlash of the Heaven Devouring Demon Skill, so it was not so easy to recover, and Elder Yi should be able to deal with him. Gu Chen waved his hand and said, but his eyes kept staring at the bottom of the sea, always paying attention to the changes.
Wen Xinliu was a little relieved when he heard this, but then he fell into worry again, he frowned and said: "It's best to ask about his relationship with the Shura Palace, the actions of the Shura Hall are really difficult to figure out, Tuoba Qianfeng may be brewing some kind of conspiracy!"
Gu Chen said lightly: "The mastery of the Shura Hall on Chi Li's body, whether it is from the meaning of Tuoba Qianfeng, or whether there is a strange voice in the Shura Palace, it is still unknown! It is naturally good to know some clues from Chi Li's mouth, if you can't and don't need to force it, even if there is a conspiracy in the Shura Palace, you will first calculate the Dao Gate, and there is no direct benefit to them to make a move on my Pantheistic Sect!"
"Ahh
Gu Chen fixed his eyes and saw that bursts of dazzling golden light appeared on the bottom of the sea, and the sea water began to churn.
The battle intensified, and although it was not real, everyone could clearly feel that the movement was getting louder and louder.
A huge vortex suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea, and a channel without seawater appeared in the center of the vortex, leading to the bottom of the sea.
Two figures, one in front and one behind, jumped out of it.
Gu Chen suddenly jumped into the air, and once again raised a few points, and the God King Law Xiang suddenly appeared behind him.
Wen Xinliu also turned into a green dragon in an instant, and the two fierce dragon eyes stared at a black figure that was about to break out of the sea.
"Wow! it's really a green dragon!" As soon as Wen Xinliu transformed, Princess Linglong's eyes were immediately attracted by him.
The big watery eyes showed a look of surprise.
"Chi Li, you have nowhere to escape!" Gu Chen shouted coldly at the black figure below.
