The news of Hülegü's recall to the Central Capital caused a commotion in the demon camp, but even Hülegü himself didn't expect that his number one enemy, who was supposed to be smiling brightly, actually sighed loudly in his heart.

Compared with Hülegü, Shi Chong's situation is actually very similar, perhaps this can also be seen as a common phenomenon to all the high-level demons. Although there are many subordinates around him, who can be called excellent talents, and they are still loyal for the time being, they do not have a friend who can speak their hearts, this is the case with Hülegü, and the same is true with Shi Chong, when they want to complain about something, they can often only swallow the words into their stomachs.

Yinzhen hid himself behind the scenes, and handed over the work and power of attacking the human world to Hülegü and Shi Chong, so that the two of them competed with each other.

So...... The one who inherited the position of the next Great Demon God King may be Shi Chong?

Thinking of this possibility, everyone looked at Shi Chong with a little reverence, after all, for two thousand years, he has always been giving orders on behalf of Yinzhen, and all the practical work of the demon clan is also shouldered by him, not only those junior courtiers have seen him more often than they have met Yinzhen, even those old ministers who are contemporaries and contemporaries of Shi Chong are also accustomed to following Shi Chong's orders, and they don't think there is anything wrong with this.

Therefore, compared to Hülegu, who has the blood of the demon king but has a deviant style, Shi Chong is undoubtedly more supported by the conservatives in the demon clan, and it seems logical that he will succeed him as the Great Demon God King.

Regarding this speculation, Shi Chong smiled cheerfully on the surface, but he didn't feel any joy in his heart. Regardless of His Majesty Yinzhen's true intentions, he himself never had the idea of fighting for the position of the Great Demon God King, and he didn't even think that he should sit in that position.

His lifelong dream is to assist His Majesty Yinzhen, consolidate the royal power of the Demon King clan, eliminate the turmoil of the various tribes in the Demon Realm internally, expand the territory of the Human Realm externally, and achieve an unprecedented glorious hegemony in history. The demon world is born with insufficient resources, the environment is harsh, only to expand the territory, is the only way to stabilize the foundation of the millennium, His Majesty Yinzhen is wise, is the best candidate to realize the dream of this hegemony, only he can realize this ideal for himself, but only he can realize this hegemony for him.

The only one who can sit on the throne of the Great Demon God King is the blood of the Demon King, and no one else can, so the only person who can inherit His Majesty Yinzhen's throne is currently only Hülegü. If Hülegü can't sit in this position, it will cause an unstable struggle within the demon clan, and even an armed civil strife will break out, destroying the hard-earned foundation, so no matter how Hülegü hates himself, he must choose to retreat, and even help Hülegü remove the unstable factors that threaten the royal power, so as to stabilize the overall situation of the demon clan.

It may be unbelievable to others, but Shi Chong, who has always given people the impression of being cunning and deceitful, has been loyal to Yinzhen all his life, and everything he does is for the sake of the great cause of the demon clan, and he has never planned for personal gain, nor does he care whether he will be rewarded or promoted to status;

Because of this, when the outside world kept speculating that Shi Chong might become the next candidate for the Demon King, he didn't feel happy at all, but he was very troubled, because among the various future blueprints he planned for himself, he never became the Demon King, could it be ...... Is this also His Majesty Yinzhen's deliberate test of his loyalty? It shouldn't be like this, he has been loyal wholeheartedly for 2,000 years, and he should not let His Majesty Yinzhen have doubts.

However, despite the fear in his heart, Shi Chong still looked very happy on the outside. Since His Majesty Yinzhen deliberately created this situation, it must be to convey some message to all the demons, as a courtier, he can only cooperate with His Majesty's "policy", besides, Hülegu's behavior style is quite out of proportion of the prince of the demon clan, if his existence can give him some pressure and let him restrain a little, then it will not be in vain His Majesty Yinzhen's painstaking efforts.

"Lord Shi Chong, the third wave of attacks is over, please make the next decision. ”

The subordinates beside him asked, and Shi Chong woke up like a dream and looked up at the Kunlun Mountains in front of him.

Kunlun Mountain, which only floated from the bottom of the sea a few days ago, has undergone incredible changes in the past few days. Originally, when it had just risen from the bottom of the sea, the mountain was bare, except for the seagrass entangled in the land, there was no green at all, but since a few days ago, countless trees began to appear on the mountain, appearing and growing at an astonishing speed, and in a short period of time all over the entire Kunlun Mountain, to this day, not only all kinds of flowers and plants grow arbitrarily under the shade of trees, and even colorful butterflies are flying, just like a fairy world scene.

All kinds of strange changes made the demon troops stationed outside Kunlun Mountain dumbfounded, but Shi Chong didn't react, after all, Kunlun Mountain is one of the four major vitality caves, as long as it involves the changes in the vitality of heaven and earth, it is not strange that any abnormal scenes occur, not to mention that no matter what changes there are outside, the situation inside the mountain is the most important.

Shi Chong's martial arts could not be compared with Hülegu, so almost all of the heavenly combat power transferred from the Ten Thousand Demon Palace was transferred to Shi Chong's command and acted at the command of Shi Chong. This can also be said to be the best arrangement, because in the Demon Clan's camp, a person like Shi Chong who can use auxiliary magic, combined attack formations and tactics really can't find a second one.

There is an immortal tree in Kunlun Mountain, and this strange tree that the demon clan is determined to obtain is currently protected by Mei Lin and Hai Jiaxuan, which makes the demon clan out of reach and annoyed.

Hai Jiaxuan's true identity is the Moon Sage Lu You, which has been told to the entire demon clan by Yinzhen, and it is no longer a secret. In the face of this brave and resourceful peerless sword saint, the demon clan is really tricky, the other party is not only strong in martial arts, but also experienced in a hundred battles, cunning like an old fox, especially one step ahead of the grasp of the geographical advantage, so that the demon clan's attacks have repeatedly returned.

Mei Lin is not an easy character to deal with, this Chief Magician of Reyns, his true face is the sister of the last two Great Demon God Kings, the aunt of the current Demon King, even in the Demon Clan, she is an elder-level figure, in addition, before Temujin and Yinhei appeared, she was also known as the wizard with the highest talent in the Demon Clan's martial arts at that time.

The serious injuries suffered by these two people in the Shangri-La battle have not yet healed, so their appearance has degenerated into a child's appearance, and they look very innocent and cute, but they are such a pair of cute children like golden boys and jade girls, and they have beaten the demon masters to hold their heads and run away, and they have not been able to attack Kunlun Mountain so far.

"It's a pity, if only those old friends were still around......"

The same generation as Shi Chong, who has experienced the history of the Kyushu War, who has worked hard to forge chains in the past two thousand years, and who are ready to show their skills when attacking the human world, there are originally five or six, those are the elite combat power of the demon race, not only have they experienced a hundred battles, but they are also familiar with the use of heavenly power, and they have secretly practiced several powerful martial arts in the demon world. Helplessly, these people were responsible for commanding the troops, and when they passed through the boundary tunnel, they were shot into ashes.

The masters who were left behind in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, although their martial arts were good, they were all the new generation after the Kyushu War. As far as Shi Chong's elders are concerned, they are indeed combative and determined, after a series of changes in heaven and earth, most of them have been promoted to the strong heaven rank level in recent days, but they lack the thousands of hammers and chains eliminated by the bloody battles of the previous generations, and I am afraid that they will only be defeated against the enemies of the level of the three sages.

These young warriors, coupled with the mutant poison dragon that Shi Chong had completed in his hand, were equivalent to dozens of warriors who contributed to the strength of the Heavenly Rank, if they had such a lineup during the Kyushu War, they could have leveled the human camp with their feet, but now they could not give them the upper hand in Kunlun Mountain.

"Tie Zhi who fights with the masters of the White Deer Cave, never let them occupy the geographical advantage, and never make a move on the battlefield they choose. ”

Of course, Shi Chong understands this truth very well, but he also has no choice, because Hai Jiaxuan and Mei Lin expected the enemy to be the first, and rushed into the interior of Kunlun Mountain one step earlier, when he was able to mobilize a large army to come, the time was already many days after the poisonous dragon group was wiped out, the enemy had already laid out Qimen Dunjia in Kunlun Mountain, all kinds of magic arrays, or absorbing energy, or charming ears and eyes, when the demon master went deep into it, let alone fighting the enemy head-on, and even the appearance of the enemy could not be seen, it was beaten into chaos.

Although they are all strong heaven ranks, in the eyes of martial arts veterans like Hai Jiaxuan, these novices in the strong heaven positions are like children, in the use of power in one move and one style, there are many fatal flaws, the sword blade is swayed at will, and those demon generals who are invincible when they break in are defeated one by one, if they don't have the golden dragon armor on their bodies, they don't know where they will die.

"It's really bad, although the strength has increased, the person has become weaker. During the Kyushu War, demon warriors were not so useless. ”

Defeated and retreating, when the demon commando team withdrew from the mountain, the pair of boys and girls who appeared in the cave loomed in the cave, their figures were uncertain, like ghosts, even more terrifying than the most vicious monsters in the demon world, so that they dragged their bodies full of injuries to escape from the mountain.

Such a humiliating defeat is not good for everyone, when a group of subordinates asked Shi Chong for guilt, Shi Chong replied very seriously, "Those people are not something you can deal with, and it should be impossible to attack, as long as there are no heavy casualties, it will be our victory." ”

Mei Lin and Hai Jiaxuan are both strongmen among the heavenly martial artists, Mei Lin may even have the power of the Zhai Heavenly Position, although he has transferred a number of masters from the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, but compared to it, it is still impossible to fight head-on, to put it bluntly, as long as Mei Lin is out of the way and fights with the strength of the Zhai Heavenly Position, the Kunlun Mountain Front of the Demon Clan will be completely wiped out within one day.

(But that shouldn't be possible.) His Royal Highness Jianning was sealed by the curse of the previous emperor, once she used the power of the Zhai Heavenly Position, she would immediately break her body and die, although two thousand years have passed, but the effect of the curse is still there, and it is impossible for her to risk her life to deal with us...... ）

Shi Chong, who was familiar with the inside story of the year, was very aware of the actual state of the enemy, and he was also vaguely aware that Mei Lin was more or less merciful when she was fighting against the demons. However, Shi Chong did not rely on the enemy's sympathy to build tactics, on the contrary, because he knew too much that it was impossible to defeat head-on, and it was almost impossible to rely on trickery, so from the very beginning, Shi Chong set the goal of the battle to waste the enemy's strength.

Although Hai Jiaxuan and Mei Lin are strong, it is not so easy to kill people in an instant against the same strong heavenly rank martial artists; they will organize the strong heavenly position combat power at hand, and all of them will wear the armor formed by the mutant golden poison dragon, and more than double the resistance power, in the form of wheel warfare, several people will attack day and night, not seeking merit, but seeking that their own side has no casualties, and try to consume the enemy's mental and physical strength.

Although this method is clumsy, it can produce a definite effect, although there are strong heavenly martial artists on the demon side, but there are no truly outstanding talents, Shi Chong doesn't think that he can defeat with these people at all, however, if these young juniors are not given the opportunity to forge chains, they will never become veterans one day, and furthermore, if they can consume the enemy's strength first, and wait until their main force comes to make a fatal blow, the loss will be reduced a lot.

The master who can perform the main blow, in Shi Chong's eyes, there are two people, one is Hua Tianxie, and the other is Dolgon, these two people are regarded as the same faction as themselves in the demon camp because they have a friendly relationship with themselves.

Hua Tianxie was seriously injured in the Battle of Zhongdu, but his injuries are now almost healed, and it is expected that he will be able to enter the battlefield in a short time.

In order to get the complete Tianwu Holy Skill, Dolgon secretly broke into Reyns alone a few days ago, and had a fierce battle with Gengoro, and then disappeared, and may have gone to the Demon Realm, when he returns, he should have quite amazing power.

Success or failure are all pinned on the future in the near future, Shi Chong glanced in the direction of Kunlun Mountain again, and then moved his gaze to the west.

In fact, if His Majesty Yinzhen can drive the expedition in person, that is the best policy......

※※※

Ignoring all the disturbances in the human world, Reyns's special mobile team in the demon world is slowly marching in the direction of the Termination Mountain.

Dolgon didn't reappear after that day's surprise attack, which made the trio feel helpless when they wanted to fight back. In addition, the three of them also discussed whether it was necessary to terminate the trip to the mountain.

The fact that the Heavenly Demon Gong Ultimate Secret is hidden in the Termination Mountain has been known long before the three of them came to the Demon Realm, and it can even be said to be an open secret known to the entire Demon Realm, however, Nier and Chireth have also witnessed it with their own eyes, and the secret text engraved in the Termination Mountain Canyon has been destroyed by Yinzhen himself, and now there is nothing in the Termination Mountain, and it is meaningless for everyone to go there, rather than wasting time for a meaningless thing, it is better to return to the Human Realm as soon as possible and help their comrades fight.

This idea is a great temptation for the three of them, because the battle between humans and demons is very important, and the combined combat power of the three of them is very precious, if the battle line of the human world collapses because of the lack of themselves, it is something that the three of them are afraid of.

In this difficult time of choice, it was Padora who affirmed their will.

"There are countless secrets hidden in the termination mountain, it has been a demon holy place since ancient times, even if Yinzhen once found something in it and destroyed something, it doesn't mean that he has all the secrets. What's more, there has always been a saying that the rebels loyal to the previous demon king have occupied Termination Mountain for many years, and they have hidden the secrets they have found, and Yinzhen may not have found those things. ”

Padora's explanation calmed everyone's doubts to a certain extent, so that Lancelot decided to go to Termination Mountain and search more carefully, because even if he returned to the human realm now, the deadlock faced by everyone still did not change, once Yinzhen personally went into battle, with his invincible strength, the combat power of the human side would collapse in an instant, just fight a doomed war.

After the group determined their goal, they prepared to speed up to the end of the mountain, but this was also stopped by Padora.

"There is no point in rushing early, although you can search earlier, but after seven days, it is the day of the blood moon once in five hundred years in the demon world, and many magic mechanisms will change under the blood moon, which is the natural key, if you want to explore the secret realm, it will be the best time. Conversely, the Scarlet Moon would only appear for a quarter of an hour, and if you didn't make it to Termination Mountain within seven days, you would miss out on this opportunity. ”

If you use the power of the Heavenly Rank to rush at full speed, you can reach the Termination Mountain within two days, but now that the travel time limit has been extended to seven days, Lancelot and the others naturally have no need to hurry, so they slow down their pace and escort this group of slave laborers towards the Termination Mountain.

"Actually, you don't have to be in too much of a hurry, no one on the other side of the mountain will take the lead. In terms of practical benefits, Yinzhen will help you remove all obstacles......"

Padora's faint words made Lancelot and Niel feel puzzled, but this is a question that Izumi Sakura has been thinking about for a long time.

"Well, actually, I've thought about it, it's been a few days since we broke into the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, and we made such a big fuss, and then we fought with Dolgon, Yinzhen must have known that we came to the Demon Realm to smash his lair. If Yinzhen wanted to counter us, he could have made a move a long time ago, and he might have even appeared in front of us, but ...... Until now, he hasn't moved, why is that?"

Izumi Sakura explained to Lancelot and Nier that Yinzhen was not in the right position, and he simply relied on force to usurp, and he did not practice according to the ancient scriptures of the Heavenly Demons, so many of the hidden secrets of the demon clan may not be obtained, and now Lancelot and Niel have come to the demon world together to explore and trigger those confidential objects, it stands to reason that this is exactly what Yinzhen has dreamed of for 2,000 years, so why stop it?

"To put it bluntly, with Yinzhen's invincible martial arts, we can wait for us to get the secrets in our hands, kill people and seize things, as long as we start quickly, and kill us before we use those things to strengthen ourselves, then he will become the ultimate beneficiary of our series of exploration activities. ”

Izumi Sakura had already thought about these things a long time ago, especially after the commotion in the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, but Yinzhen never turned a blind eye, Izumi Sakura strengthened this idea even more.

In fact, everyone's trip to the Demon Realm was not without success, Lancelot went deep into the top secret of the Ten Thousand Demon Temple, Kaazzo, and saw the guidance in it, and saw the human words that should not exist, and this is the harvest.

It stands to reason that with the hatred of the demons for humans, there should be no human writing in Kaazzang, but according to Lancelot's observation, that text was written on the stone wall with the Demon Finger of the Explosive Spirit, and the person who left the words was obviously practicing Heavenly Demon Skills, and the age was extremely old, far beyond the period of the Kyushu War, and it may be an ancient old relic carved tens of thousands of years ago.

"I will guide the Ultimate Secret of Heavenly Demon Gong to Termination Mountain!"

What is the meaning of the words left by the people? What secrets are transferred to the termination mountain? These are all mysteries, and I am afraid that even Yinzhen himself may not know the existence of that line of words. Just to solve this puzzle, it is worth a trip to Mt. Terminus, and I hope that Mt. Yamauchi does have a secret worth the fare.

"Actually, it may simply refer to the information that has been scraped off the mountain wall, and it's really pointless to run empty......"

Lancelot had always had such doubts, and he had no interest in detective games, so he was not interested in the possible outcome.

"You can't pay too much attention to the immediate interests, looking for information about the ancients, this kind of archaeological work is sometimes very twisty and round, and good things always happen in the most unexpected places. ”

Izumi Sakura persuaded her husband in this way, but in addition to verbal comfort, she actually had a feeling in her heart that the words that Lancelot saw in Kaazzo were definitely not meaningless, and they might contain some important information, some secrets that had been buried for thousands of years, and would be of great help to her.

None of this is yet known, and everyone can only march towards the Termination Mountain with trepidation, and in this journey, Padora's presence has formed a peculiarity.

The origin is mysterious, the face is mysterious, and he always speaks coldly, but he is familiar with many allusions to the demon world and the Aixin Jueluo royal family, and in Lancelot's eyes, Padora is really a dangerous person.

Lancelot's suspicions, Izumi Sakura and Niel also had them, and they couldn't make any strong explanations to convince themselves that they could trust this mysterious woman, although the enemy of the enemy was a friend, but no one could guarantee that Pardora really had a deep enmity with the Aixin Jueluo royal family, and she was sent by Yinzhen at all.

When no one was around, Lancelot had discussed the matter with his wife.

As the saying goes, a man who speaks too beautifully can't be trusted, and a woman who covers her face all day long can't be trusted, I don't like her, she always speaks coldly, if you expose her true face, maybe it's a Chinese ghost woman. ”

"Uh...... I've only heard that a man or a woman who is too beautiful can't be trusted, and a woman who hasn't heard of a mask can't be trusted. ”

"You stupid woman, if I say that, doesn't it mean that I and you have a problem?"

At first hearing this, Izumi Sakura was a little incomprehensible, and thought about the meaning of the words for a while. She is confident in her looks, but by "a man who is too pretty" means...... After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly understood what my husband meant, and then looked at his expression as a matter of course, and couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha~~"

"Hey, hey, what's so funny?"

"You...... What do you look like...... Adonis...... Hahahaha......"

"Is this kind of thing also worth laughing at? Don't forget the one you are carrying in your belly, if it is a man, it is probably like me, if you think it is ugly, in the future, when you are careful that you hold the child and feed you, a passer-by with the same vision as you will come and give you a banana to the monkey in your arms!"

Lancelot looked a little annoyed, but when the topic touched the child, Izumi Sakura put away her smile and fell into a brief contemplation.

Seeing his wife unconsciously put her hand on her lower abdomen, stunned, Lancelot knew that she must have thought of something, and immediately lowered her voice and asked her if there was anything wrong.

"Well, I'm thinking...... Is it unfair to him that we have this child at this time? will he resent us for giving birth to him in such an age?"

The dragon clan is different from the human physique, Izumi Sakura, who is a few months pregnant, has a flat and slender lower abdomen as before, and there is no sign of bloating, and it may take a few months, or even more than a year before her belly is obviously bigger, however, she clearly feels that there is a child in her body, and as the days slowly pass, she realizes that she is not only pregnant with a child, but also a future.

The current situation is not good, the battle between man and demon is fierce, and the demon clan still has the upper hand, although he has worked very hard, but purely rational analysis, in his own estimation of the future, it should be the demon race that wins, Yinzhen attacked Jixia City, killed all the people who resisted him, trampled the entire human world under his feet, and entered the dark world.

So, when this child is born into the world, what kind of world will he see, and what kind of future can he give as a mother?

I saw those slave laborers in the Temple of Ten Thousand Demons, imprisoned at the bottom of the Temple of Ten Thousand Demons for generations, born as slaves, until death, never saw the light of day, and spent my whole life in misery...... Izumi Sakura, who witnessed those scenes, was shocked a lot, especially when she thought that this might be her child's future, and she suddenly felt a chill from the bottom of her heart.

"Well, I've noticed that since becoming a mother, you've become more gentle than before. Not only do you want to protect these slaves on the road, but even when you go into battle, you are a little less ruthless, and the probability of being released is much higher. ”

Noticing his wife's mood, Lancelot smiled and spoke, but suddenly wondered in his heart, not knowing how to explain that after he became a father, he became more and more ruthless, and he hardly left a living change against the enemy; perhaps, just like the beast desperately guarding the lair, he also wanted to help the child clear possible future crises.

However, the world is like this, as a child does not have the ability to choose his parents and choose the environment in which he was born, no matter what future he encounters in the future, he must create it with his own strength, and it depends on his will to be a hero or a dog. We...... Isn't that how you came along?"

Lancelot's words were so cold at first glance that Izumi Sakura was startled, but she immediately understood them. In a sense, he and his husband are both orphans, they have never met their parents, and they have created their own achievements all their lives, so in Lancelot's concept, he has high expectations for the independence of his children.

However, growing up in the struggle since childhood, in order to survive, you must tense your nerves all day long, always stand at the top of the chain of strong and strong creatures, and prevent being replaced by enemies, just like all the inhabitants of the Demon Realm, isn't this kind of life tiring and cold?

It's been many days since I came to the Demon Realm, and I constantly look at the ecological competition here every day, which is nothing more than the words "the weak eat the strong, the superior and the inferior", for the residents who grew up in the human realm, the Demon Realm is a struggle environment that will never be able to adapt. However, the inhabitants of the Demon Realm do not fight fiercely all day long because they like this, they are born in an environment of extreme scarcity of materials, in order to survive, they only do this, only by making themselves stronger, only by killing the enemy first, can the winner survive until tomorrow.

This should be the ultimate reason for the war between humans and demons, it doesn't mean that Yinzhen will be defeated today, and this war can be over, as long as this situation remains unchanged, the demons will still attack the human world repeatedly, once, twice, three times...... Until they can get rid of this horrible ecological nightmare.

The Creator is really not an all-powerful being, otherwise how could such an absurd world be created?

"Lately, I've often wondered, what kind of person is the Deep Blue Demon King, what kind of person is capable of creating such an extinction martial art as the Heavenly Demon Skill?"

Snuggling up to Lancelot's broad shoulders, Izumi Sakura said softly. A casual remark made Ranslow's body shake violently, because this was indeed a question he had thought about repeatedly after coming to the Demon Realm.

Although he and Nier are both inheritors of the Heavenly Demon Skill, they only have martial arts skills, and they don't know much about the founder of the Heavenly Demon Skill, even if they love the new Jueluo royal family, they only worship the King of the Demon God as a god, and they don't leave much record of deeds.

Isn't it ridiculous that the mountain contains the secret of the Heavenly Demon Skill left behind by the Deep Blue Demon King, and when everyone is vying to obtain the inheritance, no one knows what kind of person it is?

"We'll solve the puzzle. Go to bed now, and when you wake up, the problem will be solved. ”

Lancelot comforted Izumi Sakura like this, and the two of them cast their eyes on the dark night sky, hoping that the situation would change when they woke up, and soon fell into a deep sleep. However, when the two of them were awakened the next day, instead of the sun, they saw a veiled Padora, standing coldly in front of them, holding a yellow fruit in her hand.

"Hello, ma'am, give this banana to the monkey next to you. ”

"Fuck! You're a ghost woman, take off your veil, I'm going to ruin your face!"

"Who's the ghost woman?"

The demon world in the early morning is still a noisy world......
