The message sent by Ji Chen was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response.

Ji Chen estimated that Jian Ping's family should be on their way to the rally, and they had no time to go to the bottom of the Tai River to receive news.

He had some bad premonitions in his heart.

"I hope I can contact Jian Ping before the rally starts."

Ji Chen sighed, he had finally established some contact with the Vault Dweller, of course he didn't want to be broken off like this.

But he can't do more, and it's impossible to save Jian Ping by himself.

After all, the connection with the Vault Dweller can be re-established, but if his clone is exposed, it will be difficult to break into the Demon Realm.

After thinking about it, he sent another message to Jian Ping: "At least two or more Demon Emperor-level powerhouses have entered the void from the Jinglong Demon Domain River Section, be careful." ”

After that, he will no longer bother with God, and let it be fate.

Ji Chen put away the sound transmission jade slip, walked out of the study, and came to the courtyard outside.

Peng Xin was burying his head in arranging the formation, and when he noticed Ji Chen's arrival, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

The demon world does not bow down, usually only to parents or teachers will do this big gift, Peng Xin has long regarded Ji Chen as a teacher, but Ji Chen did not open his mouth to accept apprentices, and he did not dare to call himself an apprentice.

Ji Chen helped him up, glanced at the halfway formation he had arranged, and nodded.

"That's right, if this formation is successfully arranged, you will be a five-grade immortal formation master."

The Nine Rank Array Emperor of the Cultivation Realm, when placed in the Immortal Demon Realm, is just a first-grade Immortal Array Master.

"The students are stupid, thanks to the teachings of adults." Peng Xin said sincerely.

Ji Chen shook his head: "You don't have to be presumptuous, although your comprehension qualifications are not as good as Luo Ji and the others, but they are not bad among ordinary array mages." ”

If the qualifications are really dull, how can they have the opportunity to enter the Guanglan Demon Monarch's Mansion as an apprentice.

According to Peng Xin's current progress rate, before Ji Chen, a doppelganger, was promoted to the Demon King, even if he couldn't become a seventh-rank immortal array master, it would not be much worse, and it shouldn't be a big problem to take over the position of the Guanglan Demon Lord.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and Ji Chen still hasn't received a reply from Jian Ping.

He counted the time, and the Vault Dwellers' assembly should have begun.

Ji Chen sighed, and he didn't know if Jian Ping hadn't seen his transmission yet, or if he had already died at the hands of the Demon Realm army.

At this moment, his expression moved slightly, and he felt the vibration of the jade slip under the sense of divine sense.

Jian Ping replied!

This jade slip, he only used it to contact Jian Ping alone.

Ji Chen checked the jade slip and read Jian Ping's transmission: "Where did you get the news?" Is it accurate? Hurry back! ”

Ji Chen asked, "Where are you now?" Has the rally already begun? ”

As soon as it was sent, Ji Chen received a reply from Jian Ping.

"I'm at the bottom of the River Tay now, not long after the rally began, the people are still here, I was a little bored after a walkaround, so I came to the bottom of the River Tay to see if you sent me a message."

Ji Chen's expression was solemn, and he said: "If my guess is correct, the Demon Realm army has already surrounded the assembly site, and it hasn't started yet, it is waiting for more people to arrive, so it can be wiped out!" ”

The rally lasts a day or two, and not everyone arrives at the beginning of the rally, and many more arrive halfway through.

"My father and brother are still at the meeting, no, I'll go tell them to leave now!" Jian Ping was anxious.

"If you don't want to die, don't look back! There's a high probability you've been targeted on the way here, and I didn't kill you, I just didn't want to startle the snake. ”

"So what should I do?" Jian Ping was a little flustered.

In the void, she can't use the sound transmission jade slip, she can't use the jade slip to transmit the sound to her family, and she will be caught in the net when she turns around.

"Don't think about anything else now, the most important thing is to save your life first, now, immediately, swim along the bottom of the Tay River, try to get as far away as possible from the meeting place, run as far as you can!"

Jian Ping, who was far away at the bottom of the Tai River in the Jinglong Demon Domain, was struggling in her heart at this time, and she couldn't even be sure whether Ji Chen's information was true or false.

After such a long time of communication, Jian Ping still has some trust in Ji Chen, although it is not much, but she doesn't think that Ji Chen will deceive her with this kind of fake news, and the key is that she will not get any benefit from deceiving her.

She didn't dare to turn back to confirm the truth of the news, after all, this turn back may have to pay the price of her life.

"Run!"

Jian Ping made up her mind and swam along the bottom of the Tai River towards the distance.

There is a void area at the junction of the Tai River and the Void, which is the most suitable for hiding the body and concealing the breath.

If Ji Chen's information is true, such a major event as the Demon Realm army besieging the Vault Dweller Assembly will definitely not be hidden, and rumors will fly all over the sky in two days.

Jian Ping decided to escape and lurk for a few days to see what was going on.

She didn't know that not long after she left, a figure appeared in the void, looked at the direction of Jian Ping's departure and said to herself: "Count her lucky, a small miscellaneous fish, just run away." ”

Jian Ping escaped all the way out of the Jinglong Demon Domain, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and find a cave in the barren mountains and mountains to hide.

She didn't contact Ji Chen, and even left the jade slip that communicated with Ji Chen at the bottom of the Tai River, she was afraid that Ji Chen would be able to lock her position through the jade slip.

For Ji Chen, she still has an extra layer of defense.

It wasn't until a week later, when Jian Ping blended into a small city, that she didn't have to deliberately inquire before she heard people all over the street discussing.

"The three Demon Emperors joined forces to exterminate thousands of Vault Dwellers in the Void, and even captured more than 2,000 people, how many years has this kind of achievement not been achieved?"

"These are not the most critical, the most important thing is that one of the Demon Emperors of the Vault Dweller fell in this battle, how many years has it been since an emperor-level powerhouse died?"

"My Demon Realm has been in the past 100,000 years, and this is the first emperor-level powerhouse to fall!"

"The Vault Dwellers are running out of breath and will perish, this is just the beginning!"

Jian Ping's face turned pale when she heard these remarks, and she tried to maintain her temper not to let herself lose her temper.

Now she can finally be sure that Ji Chen didn't lie to her, what she said is true!

"Father, brother......" she muttered to herself, wondering what the fate of her family would be.

Is it already dead in battle or captured? Or was you lucky enough to run out?

Jian Ping flew all the way back to the Tai River, went to the bottom of the river to retrieve Ji Chen's sound transmission jade Jane, and found that Ji Chen had only sent her a message for so long to confirm whether she was safe.

"I'm okay at the moment, thank you!"

If it weren't for Ji Chen's reminder, she would definitely be more than lucky this time.

"It's fine, what are your plans?" Jian Ping quickly waited for Ji Chen's reply.

"I want to go back to the void to find out the news of my father and brother first, can Mr. Ji also help me pay attention?"

"It's not within my purview, and I can't get involved, but you can tell me the names of your family members, and I'll keep an eye out when I have the chance." Ji Chendao.

"My father's name is Jian Dong, the Demon Venerable cultivates, and my brother's name is Jian An, the strength of the Demon Lord."

"Okay, I'll try to keep an eye on it."

"Thank you! When I return to the Void to confirm the news of my family, I will search the Void for the whereabouts of the Sword Guard, and I will definitely hand over your jade slip to them. ”

After a while, Jian Ping sent another message to Ji Chen: "There is one more thing that troubles Mr. Ji for help." ”

"What?"

"This time, the Demon Realm army can know the location of the meeting in advance, find the place accurately, and set up an ambush in advance, there must be a traitor to report it. And except for us Vault Dwellers, other people living in the Demon Realm are difficult to find even if they know the location, and they can't control the direction at all, so there must be a traitor leading the way and attracting the army of the Demon Realm. ”

Speaking of the traitor who reported the news, Jian Ping couldn't wait to eat his flesh raw.

"You want me to help you find that traitor?"

"Yes, this matter is just a gesture for Mr. Ji, the traitor has made such a great achievement, he will definitely be rewarded by the Demon Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, all the way to the top, Mr. Ji just need to pay attention to the new people who have emerged recently, the traitor must be among them!"

"Okay."

Ji Chen agreed, this was indeed a gesture for him.

This time, because of the traitor's betrayal, there was a Demon Emperor among the Vault Dwellers who fell, which was really beyond Ji Chen's expectations, whether it was a traitor or the soldiers of the Demon Realm who participated in the war, they would all be richly rewarded.

Ending the conversation with Jian Ping, Ji Chen thought for a while and sent a message to the Demon King Xiujie.

"Brother Xiujie, congratulations! With such great achievements, there is hope for promotion! ”

"Hahaha, I didn't tell you before, I didn't deliberately hide it, the main thing is that this operation is very important, and I don't dare to leak the news."

"Understand, understand, now that you've won a big victory, can you tell me about it? I'm also curious. ”

"This operation is indeed full of twists and turns, full of dangers, especially the battle of several Demon Emperors, which is extremely exciting! When I'm done escorting the captives at hand, I'll talk to you about it!" Xiujie Demon King said.

It seems that this battle has allowed him to find a talking point to brag about in front of Ji Chen for a year.

"Captive? Why keep any prisoners after killing them, but what are the important people among them? Ji Chen said deliberately.

Xiujie Demon King said with a smile: "This captive is so useful, what a pity to kill, not to mention that there are really a few important people in it." ”

"What kind of person is important?"

"Among the captives this time, there are three Demon Venerables alone! One of them is also a sword guard commander! ”

The Sword Guard!

is still a thousand-commander, and the demon is cultivated, and his status in the sword guard must not be low.

If Ji Chen can save this person, he will definitely be able to connect with the sword guard and establish initial trust.

It's just that it's almost impossible to save a Demon Venerable captive from the Demon Realm army.

If the main body is here, it may be possible to do it, but with this Demon Lord clone now, there is no hope!

Xiujie Demon King suddenly smiled lewdly: "But among these three Demon Venerable captives, my favorite is not this one, but that female Demon Venerable!" ”

"Tsk, even if it's the Demon Cave or even the Witch Building, I've only heard that you can make an appointment with a Demon King-level female cultivator, and the Demon Venerable-level female cultivator can't even think of it! I don't know how many people in the entire demon world have tasted it! ”

"It's a pity, brother, I don't have enough money, otherwise I would have to buy this female demon venerable and invite the Guanglan brothers to enjoy it together."

"Buy?" Ji Chen caught the key to Xiujie Demon King's words and asked, "Can this captive still be bought and sold?" ”

"Of course, why else would you take so many captives? Among them, the valuable ones are left to ask for information, and the worthless ones are all taken to auction! ”

Xiujie Demon King explained: "These captives will be planted with special prohibitions in their bodies, and they can only obey the orders of their masters, and some people will buy them back to use them as thugs as bodyguards, and some will use them to kill and cultivate magic skills or strengthen immortal weapons, and most of the female cultivators will be sold into Fengyue places like the Demon Cave, and a small number of people with high cultivation or special physique will be bought back as playthings by big people." ”

"I see, how many magic crystals do you need to buy a Demon Venerable captive?" Ji Chen asked tentatively.

The Demon Crystal is a Demon Realm currency issued by the Demon Emperor after the unification of the Demon Realm at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and can be used to purchase any goods in the Demon Realm.

"At first glance, you are addicted to the formation and don't ask about the world, and you don't even know about the auction of prisoners, this Demon Venerable-level captive has no market at all, the Demon Venerable captives are scarce, and the previous transaction prices cannot be used as a reference, it is possible to be higher or lower, it depends on the mood of those big people who participated in the auction."

"And they are both captives of the Demon Venerable, the situation is different, and the price is far from the same, such as this female Demon Venerable, she can definitely fetch a sky-high price! At least it is several times or even dozens of times more expensive than the other two Demon Venerable captives! ”

"Such a big difference?" Ji Chen pretended to be surprised, and then asked seemingly unintentionally: "You said that there were three Demon Venerable captives, what is the origin of the last one?" ”

The three Demon Venerable captives, one is a female Demon Venerable, the other is the commander of the Sword Guard, and if the remaining person is not Jian Ping's father, then it means that Jian Ping's father was not captured, but died in battle or escaped.

Xiujie Demon King replied: "The last person has no origin, and there is an ordinary Demon Venerable. ”

Ji Chen didn't want to ask too much, so as not to make the Demon King of Xiujie suspicious.

Now it seems that if Jian Ping's father is captured, he can only be the last Demon Venerable.

"You can inquire in the follow-up to see if it is Jian Ping's father Jian Dong, if so, then the only way to save him is through auction."

Ji Chen thought in his heart, it was unrealistic to rob the prison or something, and the safest way was through the auction.

However, a Demon Venerable powerhouse, it must be a sky-high price, Ji Chen doesn't have so many magic crystals, and the auction can only let Jian Ping pay for it herself.

After thinking about it, he asked the Demon King Xiujie: "Brother Xiujie, when will this auction be held?" I want to check it out. ”

"It's hard to say yet, the auction time will not be set until all the prisoners are interrogated, and I will inform you as soon as there is news, and we will go together then."

"Okay, then it's agreed!"

Ji Chen exhaled and put away the sound transmission jade slip.

He began to count all his net worth to see how much magic crystals were worth.

Among the three Demon Venerables, what he wanted to photograph the most was actually the Sword Guard Thousand Commander, the Sword Guard was the remnant of the Sword Master, and Ji Chen could easily establish a cooperative relationship with them.

Moreover, compared to other Vault Dwellers, Jian Wei has always been the focus of the Demon Realm, and he is a mortal enemy with the Demon Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and Ji Chen is more trustworthy.

In fact, as a top array mage, Guanglan Demon Lord's ability to absorb gold is quite good, far from being comparable to other Demon Lord powerhouses, plus he is a technical nerd, and his expenses are not large, so he has really accumulated a lot of magic crystals over the years.

"Not to mention whether my magic crystal is enough or not, with my current cultivation and status, taking a picture of any Demon Venerable captive will definitely attract people's attention and suspicion, even if you really want to make a move, you need to find a reasonable reason."
