"Sect Master Gu is coming to the Ancestral Demon Island, and all the people of my demon clan are welcome! The old man specially greeted the Sect Master Gu here, and asked you to enter the palace with me!" "Ancestral Demon Island, in front of the gate of the Demon Emperor's Palace, Hu Shan, the prime minister of the demon clan, welcomed Gu Chen and his party of five into the palace gate with a warm face.

Gu Chen followed behind Hu Shan, and as he walked, he asked him, "Prime Minister Hu, I wonder if the Demon Emperor's cultivation has been restored?"

"With the Lao Gu Sect Master worried, Your Majesty has not only cultivated to the fullest now, but even gone to the next level, and the crisis of my demon clan has been completely resolved!" Hu Shan said to Gu Chen with a smile.

"That's good!" Gu Chen nodded, and then asked Hu Shan: "I have something important to discuss with the Demon Emperor on this trip, please arrange it as soon as possible!"

Hu Shan smiled and said: "Sect Master Gu don't be impatient, Your Majesty is not in the palace now, but Your Majesty has already ordered that Sect Master Gu is the guest of honor of my demon clan, let the old man entertain you, please take a rest in Xihe Palace, and when Your Majesty returns, the old man will definitely report to Your Majesty as soon as possible!"

Gu Chen frowned slightly, since the Demon Emperor knew that he was coming, why did he go out at this time? Could it be that she knew my purpose and directly chose to avoid it?

Gu Chen couldn't help but continue to ask, "I don't know where His Majesty the Demon Emperor has gone, when will he return?"

"Your Majesty's affairs, the old man has no right to intervene, so naturally he doesn't know!" Hu Shan smiled without changing his face.

Although Hu Shan said it lightly, Gu Chen always felt that this old fox must know something, but he didn't want to say it!

"Since the Demon Emperor is not here, let's see Princess Linglong first! I also ask Prime Minister Hu Cheng to report on my behalf!" Gu Chen said to Hu Shan again.

"This ......" Hu Shan's face suddenly changed slightly, but he instantly covered up the past, "Well, Princess Linglong is not in the palace either!"

"Oh, such a coincidence?" Gu Chen said as he looked at Hu Shan with a strange expression.

"Ahem, it's a bit unlucky!" Hu Shan hurriedly said.

"Then General Niu Ting is always here, right? I have known him for a long time, and I want to catch up with him, is this all right?" Gu Chen looked at Hu Shan with a smile and said.

Hu Shan's eyes rolled, and he smiled and said to Gu Chen: "General Niu Ting is indeed here, but he is on duty during the day and has a task on his side, why don't you call him to greet Sect Master Gu later?"

Gu Chen felt even more strange, Niu Ting, as the left general of the demon clan and the commander of the Absolute Army, if there was no major incident, he could assign the affairs to the people below to do it in normal times, and it shouldn't be a big problem to take the time to meet with him, right? Why does it have to be postponed until the evening? What the hell is this old guy Hu Shan doing?

Although he felt different, Gu Chen still said quietly: "Since this is the case, let it be arranged by Prime Minister Hu Cheng!"

"Thank you Gu Sect Master for your forgiveness!" Hu Shan said to Gu Chen.

......

Walking and walking, Gu Chen came to a secluded palace under the leadership of Hu Shan, its name is "Xihe Palace", according to Hu Shan, Xihe Palace is used by the demon clan to entertain VIPs, and now, only Gu Chen and others live in.

Xihe Palace is located in the southwest corner of the Demon Emperor Palace, although it is remote, there are still a large number of guards to guard it, even more heavily guarded than Princess Linglong's palace at the beginning.

So did they really protect Gu Chen and the others, or did they spy on Gu Chen and the others? In fact, it was already self-evident.

After Gu Chen and the others entered the Xihe Palace, Gu Chen said to Hu Shan: "Prime Minister Hu Cheng has something to do, go and get busy!

After Hu Shan hesitated for a while, he arched his hand to Gu Chen and said: "Then the old man will leave first, if the Gu sect leader has any needs, just order the palace maids, they will meet all your requirements!

"Hmm!" Gu Chen nodded.

Hu Shan then retreated.

In the main hall of Xihe Palace, there are only Gu Chen, Yuqing, Youlan, ghosts, ghosts, ghosts and eight beautiful demon women, thinking that they are the palace maids in this Xihe Palace.

Gu Chen beckoned to the eight palace maids, and the eight of them quickly came to Gu Chen's body and bowed, "What does Sect Master Gu command?"

"I want to ask you a few questions, I don't know, are you willing to answer?" Gu Chen said to the eight palace maids with an expressionless face.

The first red-clothed palace maid's eyes flashed, and then Fu Shen said: "If Sect Master Gu asks something, how dare we not answer?" It's just that our status is low, and we have lived in the palace for a long time, and we are lonely and unheard, so I am afraid that many things will be difficult to answer!"

"It's okay, I'll just ask! You can say as much as you know, and I won't embarrass you if I can't say it!" Gu Chen waved his hand and said.

"In that case, we must know everything!" said the red-clothed palace maid with a smile.

"Very good, let me ask you, when did Princess Linglong come back?" Gu Chen nodded and asked the eight palace maids.

The eight of them replied in unison: "It has been almost half a month since the princess returned!"

Gu Chen couldn't help but nodded, the calculation time should be about half a month.

Afterwards, Gu Chen continued to ask, "Who else was traveling with Princess Linglong at that time?"

The eight palace maids immediately whispered to each other, and then the red-clothed palace maid spoke: "There is also the dragon king who has returned with the princess, and there is also a human woman! Oh, by the way, there is also a strange beast!"

Gu Chen nodded, and then asked directly to the red-clothed palace maid, "Where is the Dragon King now, and can the Demon Emperor punish him?"

"This ...... The slave maid doesn't know! The dragon king has disappeared since he returned!I just heard that his identity has been abolished, and from now on he will no longer be the dragon king, but can only be regarded as a commoner of the demon clan!" The red-clothed palace maid said hesitantly.

Gu Chen touched his chin and said secretly: "It seems that the Dragon King should be imprisoned, but his life should be safe!"

"What about the celebrity Terran woman and that strange beast?" Gu Chen asked the red-clothed palace maid again.

"They were taken to the Demon Transformation Pool in the southern part of the Ancestral Demon Island, and they haven't heard from them since!" replied the woman in red without hesitation.

Gu Chen continued to ask, "Where is Princess Linglong now?"

The eight palace maids shook their heads at the same time, and then the red-clothed palace maid spoke: "I only know that Her Royal Highness the princess is not in the palace, as for where she went, I don't know!"

Gu Chen said secretly: "The situation of the Dragon King, Rong Qingya, and Soul Absorbing Mink is all expected, but Ran Xi and the Demon Emperor are a little strange! If the Demon Emperor has something to deal with temporarily, it is understandable to leave! But Ran Xi knew that she would be here soon, so why didn't she wait for herself in the Demon Emperor Palace?"

"By the way, what about your Royal Highness?" Gu Chen suddenly remembered Ling Yuan, if he could find Ling Yuan, with his friendship with him, he should not hide it!

"His Royal Highness the Prince is naturally in the Dongyang Palace! Dongyang Palace is located in the east direction of the entire Demon Emperor Palace. The red-clothed palace maid replied.

"Oh, he didn't go out?" asked Gu Chen in surprise to the red-clothed palace maid.

"His Royal Highness the prince has a noble status, how can he go out at will!" the red-clothed palace maid shook her head and smiled.

"Can you go to Dongyang Palace and invite His Royal Highness the Prince to come here for a gathering!This seat is also his old acquaintance, he should come to see me!" Gu Chen looked at the eyes of the red-clothed palace maid and said.

"I'm afraid this won't work!" said the red-clothed palace maid with a look of embarrassment.

"Why, are you absolutely not worthy of this seat?" Gu Chen's face turned cold and he asked.

The red-clothed palace maid hurriedly knelt down and explained: "Don't dare, don't dare! The slave maid will never dare to snub the sect master, but the slave maid has a low status, and it is impossible for her to go to Dongyang Palace! The palace maids of each palace have a limited range of activities, and we cannot leave the southwest region! Once we leave, if we don't have a pass token, we will be taken down by the Praetorian Guards in an instant!"

"I see, it's your fault, get up!" Gu Chen waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, Sect Master!" the red-clothed palace maid hurriedly thanked.

"You guys stand down!" Gu Chen waved his hand again and said to the eight palace maids.

The palace maids immediately looked at each other, and at the same time looked at the red-clothed palace maids.

The red-clothed palace maid hurriedly said to Gu Chen: "Our duty is to serve all the distinguished guests, but since Sect Master Gu doesn't want us to serve, then we will wait outside, if Sect Master Gu has orders, just call us!"

Gu Chen nodded and said, "Well, when something happens, this seat will call you in, but if this seat doesn't call you, you are not allowed to step into here for half a step!"

"Yes!" the palace maids hurriedly replied, and then withdrew.

......

At this time, there were only Gu Chen, Yu Qing, and the three people of the Nether Python Clan left in the main hall of Xihe Palace.

Yu Qing said to Gu Chen with a puzzled expression: "Brother, what the hell do you say this demon emperor is doing? Didn't you once help her regain the throne? Even if she doesn't look at your identity as the leader of the Pantheistic Sect, she won't avoid it when your benefactor arrives, right?"

"Things are indeed a bit strange!The Demon Emperor may really be in a hurry, but how could Ran Xi not be there!" Gu Chen said with a frown.

Then, Gu Chen touched his chin and said, "Moreover, I always feel that Hu Shan knows something, but he just doesn't want to tell me!

"That's not easy, didn't you ask just now, that His Royal Highness the prince is Ling Yuan, right? Isn't he in the palace? Let's just go over and find him!" Yu Qing waved his hand and said.

"Hu Shan said earlier, if we want to go out, let the guards inform him first, presumably, those guards outside should be his eyeliner! If I go directly to Ling Yuan, I'm afraid it will cause trouble!" Gu Chen said with a frown.

"I'm afraid of a fart! Can these garbage Praetorian Guards stop us?" Yu Qing said disapprovingly.

Gu Chen waved his hand and said: "We are not hostile to the Demon Clan, there is no need to cause conflicts, this is the Demon Emperor Palace, and it is also appropriate to follow their rules! If we break the rules, then it is really a little unreasonable! Besides, the Praetorian Guards of the Demon Clan are not paper tigers! Although their individual strength is nothing, if they are facing the enemy in formation, even with the strength of the two of us, they may not be able to retreat in the encirclement of tens of thousands of Praetorian Guards!"

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then what do you say?" Yu Qing said to Gu Chen with an irritated expression.

Gu Chen waved his hand at Yu Qing and said, "Don't worry, wait and talk, if Hu Shan was not an excuse before, then Niu Ting will definitely come to meet me tonight!

"Okay, anyway, I'm not interested in these intrigue tricks, you can do it yourself!" Yu Qing said casually.

"There are a lot of rooms in Xihe Palace, you can each find one to live in!" Gu Chen said to Youlan and the others.

Youlan and the others had already been subdued by Gu Chen's strength, and they didn't dare to disobey Gu Chen in the slightest, so as soon as Gu Chen spoke, the three of them went to find a place to rest.

Yu Qing lay directly on the soft floor at the top of the main hall, eating fruit comfortably.

Only Gu Chen sat on the chair without saying a word and pondered.
