Chapter 12: The Demon King

The identity of the translator is even better than expected.

Yan Jing, who stepped into the ferry, was quickly noticed by the patrolling monster team and came forward to inquire about the situation.

"The Mandate of Heaven appeared in the Peng'an Realm, stunned for what to do, and didn't hurry up to send someone to Tongyu."

Through the subordinates of the **, Yan Jing had an understanding of the situation in Zhongshan City in advance, and said calmly,

"Leave me two other scale horses, and I will take the witnesses to the Tianjiao Palace."

In order not to cause internal disputes, the three demon kings in Zhongshan City each governed some of the demon clans in Dongzhan Continent.

The water tribe is under the jurisdiction of the Jiao Demon King, and turning ** is naturally no exception.

Now that I get the relevant news of the Mandate of Heaven, the first thing to report is the Jiao Demon King.

After all, the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon had already given an order, and whoever could destroy the Candle Dragons would be able to get their richest reward.

This makes the news of the Mandate of Heaven mean that he can make a deal with the extraterritorial Heavenly Demons.

If you dare to report it to the other demon kings first, if you don't say anything else, the Jiao Demon King will let it suffer enough first

Where could the monsters patrolling at the port think that this return to Zhongshan City would bring such exciting news, and the captain led by him galloped towards Tianjiao Palace without saying anything about dialing his horse, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Its team members instinctively wanted to keep up, but as soon as they were about to turn around, Yan Jing, who was a little impatient, directly raised his hand and slapped the two away, and grabbed a horse from Zhu Xia each, and followed without hesitation.

Rely on the patrol leader holding the token to clear the way.

Yan Jing and Zhu Xia easily crossed several checkpoints located at the foot of the mountain and halfway up the mountain.

Waiting for the Tianjiao Palace, which was close to the top of the mountain, was forcibly intercepted by the Jiao Demon King's personal guards.

"No matter who you are or what the purpose of coming here is, you must get the will of the Jiao Demon King before you can enter."

Wearing heavy armor and a strong half-demon soldier stationed in the vermilion corridor between the mountains, it recognized the **, and said,

"Your Excellency, please wait here for a while, the captain has gone to report to the Jiao Demon King, and it won't be long before there will be a reply."

Unlike other yokai.

Turning ** can be valued by the Jiao Demon King, and he is specifically responsible for guarding the Tongtian River, which shows the status of turning **.

Yan Jing and Zhu Xia glanced at each other, nodded to the half-demon soldier, and turned to the side of the corridor.

In order to promote supremacy, the palaces of the three demon kings are all separated from the city halfway up the mountain by a vertical distance of nearly hundreds of meters, and are connected by winding covered bridges and mountain roads in the middle.

At the moment, Yan Jing could clearly see the brilliant lights on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain, which seemed to be extremely prosperous and lively at first glance, but he was also at a high place and saw the dark and gloomy mountains outside Zhongshan City.

The latter is like a thick blockade that surrounds the ostensibly bustling city.

As long as the existence hidden in this deep night is willing, in the next second, the Zhongshan City that the demons spent hundreds of years to build will collapse and collapse, turning into a purgatory for the demons.

Yan Jing originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to release his spiritual power and perceive the candle dragon that might exist somewhere in Zhongshan.

Just as he had this thought, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor in the distance.

"Jiao Demon King's oracle, announce the overturning of ** Lord to see you!"

Imitating the language of the Terran court, the patrol leader shouted from a distance of road.

Behind him was a beautifully dressed maid, with a strong demonic aura around her body, and her strength was a few points stronger than that of this patrol leader.

The half-demon soldiers guarding the intersection were immediately released, and the maids of Tianjiao Palace led the two to leave.

Follow the trail.

It didn't take long for Yan Jing's vision to appear a magnificent building that was completely modeled after the imperial palaces of ancient human dynasties.

The location of the construction and the materials used are even more sophisticated.

The scarlet gate was open.

The gilded "Tianjiao Palace" on the door beam is particularly eye-catching under the reflection of the light of the night pearl.

The human dynasty collapsed a hundred years ago due to the erosion of evil spirits, and it was not expected to be reproduced on the side of the demon clan.

"Watch me do the signal."

Seeing the maid go in first to report, before entering the hall, Yan Jing walked beside Zhu Xia and whispered an explanation.

The little spider that Zhu Xia gave him earlier was crawling into the cuffs along the back of his hand.

On the way to Zhongshan City by the fish dragon, Yan Jing specially explained that Zhu Xia absorbed some of the evil energy into his body, as long as the disguise of the Spirit Ring was not recognized, he would have the confidence to continue the scene.

Stepping on the jade bricks that can be seen in the light, Yan Jing walked into the Tianjiao Palace, and felt more and more that this Jiao Demon King was deliberately imitating the palace, not only the regulations in all aspects were almost the same, but he even made a dragon chair for himself and placed it on the high platform in front of him.

Jiao thinks about Jackie Chan, I'm afraid I want to go crazy!

Just as Yan Jing was slandering, the golden yarn next to the dragon chair was picked open, and a middle-aged man about two meters tall in a yellow robe walked straight to the dragon chair and sat down, shaking the yellow robe lightly, and posing in a dignified and majestic posture.

Glancing at the five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on the yellow robe, Yan Jing hurriedly knelt on the ground, and according to the information gathered when he came, he shouted,

"Wechen knocks on Your Majesty!"

"Uh-huh, I heard that you have news of the Mandate of Heaven?"

No matter how he dressed up, the face of the Jiao Demon King still revealed an evil owl that was difficult to hide, and his words were hoarse.

"Yes, just last night, the hundred-eyed centipede in the Peng'an Realm was killed by the Heavenly Mandate Man, and the Earth Immortal Temple where it practiced was destroyed, including the Spirit Infant Fruit Tree cultivated from immortal fruit seeds, which was also burned to ashes!"

This statement was thought of by Yan Jing on the way here, and what he said was indeed the truth.

"Is there any evidence?"

"With Weichen came Zhu Si Daxian in the Peng'an realm, who is also the junior sister of the hundred-eyed centipede, she was the first witness to arrive at the scene, and she also put away the bones of the hundred-eyed corpse."

In between speaking, Yan Jing turned to look at Zhu Xia, who immediately understood and took out the corpse of the centipede from his storage bag.

Although Yan Jing hadn't yet considered the current scene when he was in the Earth Immortal Temple, at that time he had already realized that the corpse of the Hundred-Eyed Centipede was probably far more valuable than when it was alive.

The various wounds caused by the power of faith and the impact of soul fire were very conspicuous, and there was no need for Zhu Xia, a witness, to explain them one by one, the Jiao Demon King, who was originally sitting on the dragon chair, had already leaped down first, and grabbed the head of the hundred-eyed centipede.

Casually snapped off the tentacles on the side of the skull, and the Jiao Demon King crushed it with a little force.

Gray-white flesh slipped from the fingertips, and the evil energy that should have been hidden in it was annihilated.

"Good, good to come"

Realizing that the Mandate of Heaven was very likely to appear again, the Jiao Demon King was not only not annoyed, but rather excited, and turned to look at Zhu Xia,

"Now tell me everything that happened that day, and there can be no mistakes!"

Hearing this, Zhu Xia secretly breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to speak.

Who knew that before the words reached his throat, a whirlwind swept outside the gate of Tianjiao Palace, blowing the candles in the hall into flames.

Yan Jing, who lowered his head, raised his eyebrows.

There is another one in the heart path.

"Humph!"

The Jiao Demon King snorted coldly.

The wind in the palace dissipated and the candles returned to their original state.

The bright yellow candlelight reflected on the bright golden feathers, reflecting a dazzling light.

Yan Jing secretly raised his eyes to observe, and noticed that a thin figure wearing a feather crown appeared on the side of the hundred-eyed centipede.

At first glance, it looks like the younger generation of the Jiao Demon King, but in fact, Wei Ya, who was deliberately released by the former, didn't care, and grabbed a part of the centipede's head and began to examine it.

Needless to say, this is obviously one of the three demon kings, the Peng Demon King.

Yan Jing had fought against Peng demons in Immortal Palace City, and at that time he was deeply impressed by the latter's extraordinary speed, and now he was facing this, his strength was undoubtedly even more terrifying.

To put it mildly, the demon king of Immortal Palace City is basically fighting with his own racial ability, and the Peng Demon King in front of him is already the top existence among the demon cultivators of this heaven and earth, otherwise he would not be valued by the extraterritorial heavenly demons.

However, it was obviously not a coincidence that the Peng Demon King was able to come at this time.

Yan Jing stayed in the corridor for a while, thinking that it was at that time that the news came out.

There is always only one reward for destroying the candle dragon

"Peng Demon King, just breaking in like this, it's a little unruly!"

Regarding the attitude of no one next to the bastard in front of him, the Jiao Demon King's expression became more and more gloomy, and he said coldly.

"Who told me not to turn over such a good subordinate as **, if you want to get the news of the Mandate of Heaven, you have to be diligent."

Crushing the centipede stump in his hand, and making sure that this was related to the ability of the Heavenly Mandate, the Peng Demon King didn't care about the threat between the words of the Jiao Demon King, paused, and said again,

"Besides, I'm not the only one who is in a hurry."

"What?"

The face of the Jiao Demon King, who realized that something was going on, changed suddenly.

Before the words fell, there was a muffled sound of broken bricks and stones outside the Tianjiao Palace.

"Huha~ Lao Jiao, I heard that the Mandate of Heaven has appeared again, where is it, I can't wait to fight him!"

A rough voice came from outside the gate of Tianjiao Palace, a strong man with his shirtless body, long hair draped over his shoulders, and a pair of horns on his head was striding towards the hall.

Because he is nearly five meters tall, and his body is full of muscle knots, every step he takes trembles as if he has a thousand forces to fall, and the bricks and pillars along the way are not cracked when he touches them.

The Jiao Demon King is a person who pays special attention to his identity, and always considers himself the emperor.

The palace that symbolizes status is trampled on like this, where can it endure it.

Just looking at the various scars on the Bull Demon King's chest, as well as the undisguised manic demonic aura on his journey, the Jiao Demon King opened his mouth, but he still chose to endure him this time.

When the candle dragon is destroyed and the reward of the extraterritorial heavenly demon is obtained, these two guys must be made to kneel at the feet of his Jiao Demon King.

The three demon kings who ruled Zhongshan Castle all gathered here.

After a short exchange, their eyes invariably turned to Yan Jing and Zhu Xia next to them.

A terrifying coercion came to the face.

Zhu Xia's figure suddenly shook uncontrollably, her face turned pale, and Yan Jing, who had just stood up, fell to her knees again.

With his strength, he was not very affected, and even took this opportunity to quietly release silver-gray tiny objects from the robe that was close to his side to mop the floor.

The topic that the Jiao Demon King had asked halfway through before continued.

Fortunately, he had already considered the current situation on the way here, so even if Zhu Xia was oppressed by the momentum, he still informed the three demon kings of the pre-made rhetoric one after another, and emphasized that the Mandate of Heaven would soon arrive in Zhongshan City.

To find out how far the Demon Kings have progressed in their quest for the Candle Dragon, the premise is to put enough pressure on them.

Sure enough, after knowing that the Mandate of Heaven was about to arrive, the three demon kings glanced at each other and exchanged information.

Taking advantage of this time, Yan Jing was also observing them.

Unlike the Hundred Eyes Centipede and other demon kings, the demon kings who ruled the Demon Realm of Dongzhan Continent seemed to be corrupted by evil energy to a lower extent than they imagined, and with such a close induction, Yan Jing still didn't detect too much evil erosion from them.

This made him sure that there was some kind of ulterior deal between the Demon King and the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon.

The phenomenon that the concentration of evil energy in the boundary where Zhongshan City is located is much lower than that of the outside world is only the tip of the iceberg.

"There's nothing to do with you here, let's go down first."

After obtaining the information, the Jiao Demon King glanced at Yan Jing and Zhu Xia, who were still half-kneeling, waved his hand and said.

The next conversation is not something that these two demon kings are qualified to observe.

"I beg Your Majesty to give me a chance to avenge my brother, and I am willing to serve Your Majesty by capturing the Mandate of Heaven!"

Before leaving, Zhu Xia immediately opened her mouth to ask for instructions when she got Yan Jing's eyes.

This decision was not made on a whim, but was discussed in advance, it was impossible for Yan Jing to continue to return to Tongtianhe after reporting the news, he needed a suitable reason to continue to stay in Zhongshan City as a turning **.

The relationship between Zhu Xia and Baimu is the most suitable excuse.

At least in the eyes of the outside world, Zhu Si Daxian and Baimu Daxian are brothers and sisters for hundreds of years, and their friendship is long, and it is normal for the former to want to avenge Baimu.

"Well, then stay, too, the Mandate of Heaven has appeared, you don't have to return to Tongtian River, go to the mountainside to stay first, appoint and arrange later, there is only one goal, arrest the Mandate of Heaven as soon as possible!"

Although the news of the Mandate of Heaven failed to hide the other two demon kings, the Jiao Demon King was quite satisfied with the behavior of turning ** to come to tell him for the first time.

Zhu Xia planned to stay and serve his life, so he pushed the boat down the river and left his right-hand men by his side.

After getting the desired appointment, Yan Jing and Zhu Xia immediately bowed down and left Tianjiao Palace.

When the front foot goes out, the back foot palace door closes.

The three demon kings obviously have internal meetings to meet.

"What to do now, they consciously want to avoid us."

After walking a distance, Zhu Xia leaned over to Yan Jing and whispered.

This time I came to report the news of the Mandate of Heaven, originally planned to take this opportunity to find out the search for the Candle Dragon in Zhongshan City, but now the latter's strict defense made Zhu Xia a little disappointed.

"Don't worry, I've got something else to do."

Yan Jing stared ahead, not caring at all about being kicked out, and instead activated a Bluetooth headset and stuffed it into his ear.

Ordinary eavesdropping methods may be easy to detect by powerful demon kings.

They've never seen anything like this high-tech!
