Ji Chen followed the Demon Venerable into the Emperor Mountain. The interior of this giant peak has been hollowed out and built into palaces and caves, and the layout inside is intricate, like a labyrinth, if it is not led by someone, Ji Chen really can't find the way.

Within the Emperor Mountain, it is also a strict hierarchy, the higher the status, the higher the location of the residence, Ji Chen and the Demon Venerable entered the Emperor Mountain from the foot of the mountain, and went all the way up, and the people they met along the way saw the Demon Venerable, all of them were respectful and saluted.

Ji Chen is going to meet the Qingyu Demon Emperor, as

The "Hand of the Emperor Mountain" has an extremely high status, and it belongs to the top demon emperors in the entire demon world second only to the early Yuan Demon Emperor, and it can be said that it is under one person and above ten thousand people.

Therefore, his residence in the Emperor Mountain is also extremely high, almost to the top of the Emperor Mountain, next to the palace where the Demon Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty lived.

Ji Chen followed the Demon Venerable to a straight upward passage, which was a specially built barrier-free passage, and flew all the way up along this passage, and Ji Chen and the two soon came to the area on the top of the Emperor Mountain.

There are palaces built here, and those who can live here are all Demon Emperor powerhouses without exception. Ji Chen glanced around, it was very quiet here, there was no figure outside, there was not even a guard, and indeed these Demon Emperor powerhouses did not need guards.

The Demon Venerable made a silent gesture to Ji Chen, and carefully led Ji Chen towards a palace.

Outside the palace, the Demon Venerable motioned for Ji Chen to go in by himself, and he retreated. Ji Chen first observed the palace in front of him, it was not so much a palace, it felt more like a pavilion, different from the solemn and majestic palaces of the other demon emperors around, the palace of the Qingyu Demon Emperor exuded a fairy aura, not like the style of ordinary demon cultivators.

Ji Chen walked in, there was no one to guard here, he stepped straight into the courtyard, and what greeted him seemed to be a academy, the style and layout were all elegant and elegant, and the air could faintly smell the fragrance of ink.

"Come in." A neutral and peaceful voice came into Ji Chen's ears. Ji Chen walked in the direction where the voice came from, it was a wing room located on the east side, the door was unlocked, and Ji Chen opened it as soon as he pushed it.

Normally, the east wing is usually a bedroom, but this place is arranged as a study by the Qingyu Demon Emperor, the four walls are full of books, and a desk is placed in the middle of the house, and a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament is in front of the desk, waving and writing something.

Ji Chen had already seen the appearance of the Qingyu Demon Emperor in the memory of the Guanglan Demon Lord, but he still felt a little surprised when he saw it with his own eyes.

Qingyu Demon Emperor can't see the slightest shadow of demon cultivation on his body, his temperament is dusty, and he gestures, just like a knowledgeable Confucian, with the calmness and wisdom of a scholar, which is completely different from other demon cultivators that Ji Chen has seen, without domineering and majesty, giving people the feeling of being gentle and kind, like a spring breeze.

Qingyu Demon Emperor raised his head, casually pointed to the chair on the side, and said, "Sit." Ji Chen was not restrained and sat down generously.

Qingyu Demon Emperor glanced at Ji Chen and said with a smile: "Don't doubt, I'm not a demon cultivator, I'm cultivating the Immortal Dao." Ji Chen was stunned, there was an immortal cultivator in the Demon Realm, and he had cultivated to the emperor level?

So it should be Qingyu Immortal Emperor, not Qingyu Demon Emperor? Although in the eyes of a strong person of Ji Chen's strength, there is no difference between immortals and demons, it is nothing more than choosing different cultivation paths, and in the end they still have the same end, but most ordinary monks, even if they are ordinary immortals and demons, I am afraid that they still can't treat immortals and demons as equals in their hearts, in their eyes, immortals and demons are like two races, and they still have each other

The exclusion of "non-self". Probably because of this, although this Emperor Mountain Hand cultivates the Immortal Dao, he still calls himself the Demon Emperor to the outside world.

If ordinary people in the Demon Realm knew that the right-hand man of the Demon Emperor at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Qingyu Demon Emperor who managed the Demon Realm on his behalf, was actually an immortal cultivator, I am afraid that there would be rejection and distrust in their hearts.

However, this should not be a secret at the top of the Demon Realm. What Ji Chen was more curious about was how the Qingyu Immortal Emperor entered the Demon Realm?

This is the first immortal cultivator Ji Chen has seen since he entered the Demon Realm. It stands to reason that only demon cultivators can ascend to the demon realm, how does an immortal cultivator enter the demon realm?

However, the Qingyu Demon Emperor didn't take the initiative to explain, and Ji Chen didn't want to ask. Qingyu Demon Emperor put down the pen in his hand and cut to the chase: "The position reserved for you before is now a bit overkill for you, this time I also want to ask you what you mean, do you want to stay in the Imperial City, or go to other places in the Yuan Chu Demon Domain to serve?" Ji Chen pondered for a moment, staying in the Imperial City is more convenient to get in touch with the core affairs of the Demon Realm, and it is better to get to know the high-level of the Demon Realm, but it will be more comfortable, everything in the Imperial City is stable, and there is no chance for him to perform, and if he wants to be promoted in the future, there will be fewer opportunities.

If you choose to serve in other cities in the Demon Domain at the beginning of the Yuan, you will have more room to play and it will be easier to make achievements.

In short, staying in the Imperial City means stability and comfort, and going to other cities is even more challenging. And the most important point, Ji Chen had to take it into account, that is, staying in the Imperial City was equivalent to being under the noses of many Demon Emperors, and he needed to be careful and cautious in everything he did, and he should not show his flaws.

In other cities, there is no such concern. Moreover, staying in the Imperial City, maybe when he will meet the Yuan Chu Demon Emperor, Ji Chen doesn't want to see the Yuan Chu Demon Emperor at this stage.

The other Demon Emperors couldn't see the traces of his seizure, but whether the Demon Emperor of the Yuan Chu Dynasty would see it, Ji Chen was not sure.

After comprehensive consideration, Ji Chen expressed his intention and wanted to serve in other cities other than the Imperial City.

Qingyu Demon Emperor nodded, and said: "It's a good thing that young people dare to fight, you wait in the city for a few days, wait for me to arrange the scheduling, and I will have someone send the appointment letter to you in a few days." Ji Chen got up and thanked the Qingyu Demon Emperor, and then said goodbye and left.

Ji Chen didn't know what kind of work the Qingyu Demon Emperor would arrange for him, but it must still be related to the formation, and he was not in a hurry, anyway, he had to stay in the imperial city and wait for the auction to start.

By the time the auction is over, his letter of appointment should also come down. Ji Chen left Dishan, returned to the city, contacted the Demon King of Xiujie, and the two met at an inn and had some food and drinks together.

The Demon King Xiujie proposed to go to the Witch Building again tonight, but Ji Chen firmly refused, and the Demon King Xiujie had no choice but to compromise and opened two rooms in the inn.

The Demon King of Xiujie has already determined the specific time of the auction, which is the morning after tomorrow, in a restaurant not far from the prison.

He had already arranged the seats for him and Ji Chen, and the two of them could enter directly when they arrived. Ji Chen knew that before this auction, it was estimated that there would be a turmoil, if his expectations were right, before the auction began, the sword guards should go to rob the prison, but this time the robbery would most likely fail, because there was a problem with the formation breaking method they relied on.

When they spent a lot of time and were about to break the formation, they found themselves stuck on the last step, and they didn't know what kind of mood it would be.

Originally, Ji Chen didn't want to pit the sword guard because of the relationship between the sword master, but there was no way, since the other party took the initiative to forcibly control him by means, he would naturally fight back.

Ji Chen stayed at the inn and didn't go anywhere, waiting for the auction to start with peace of mind. Originally, he thought that the sword guards would do it the next day, but the next day he kept an eye on the movement outside, and the whole day was calm.

Until the early morning of the third day, the sword guard did not start to rob the prison. Ji Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought, the auction would start this morning, but the sword guard hadn't moved yet, so there were only two possibilities.

The first is that the sword guard has given up the operation of the prison robbery, and the second is that the sword guard plans to do it when the captives are escorted to the auction grounds.

And no matter what the case is, Ji Chen feels that he is reminding a wave at this time, and selling personal favors is a sure profit.

So he took out the jade slip and sent a message to the person he had contacted before.

"If you have any plans to rob the prison, please be cautious, the formation of the prison side has been adjusted, and the defensive force has been increased." Whether the Heavenly Dungeon has added defensive strength or adjusted the formation, these Ji Chen are not clear, but it does not prevent him from saying so.

The sword guard took the method of breaking the formation he provided, and when he broke the formation, he was doomed to fail, and then he shirked that the formation was fine-tuned, so the method of breaking the formation was invalid, and the sword guard had no way to verify the authenticity.

This is also to excuse the identity of the Guanglan Demon Lord, otherwise the sword guard will definitely think that the Guanglan Demon Lord has provided a fake method to break the formation.

As for whether the sword guard believed or didn't believe it after seeing this news, whether he chose to suspend the prison robbery operation, or whether he didn't believe in evil, and whether the prison robbery was successful or failed, it had nothing to do with Ji Chen.

Even if the Sword Guard's people didn't see this news at all now, and only saw it after the prison robbery operation was over, it wouldn't be in the way.

As long as Ji Chen sent this message before the Sword Guard's people robbed the prison, and the Sword Guard did encounter problems in the process of breaking the formation, it was enough to prove his sincerity.

Isn't it enough to prove my sincerity that I have provided you with correct, valuable information before you act?

As for your heavy losses in the operation, what does that have to do with me? Who told you not to trust me?

Don't value my intelligence? After Ji Chen sent the message, he waited for a while, but he didn't wait to respond, and he didn't know if the other party didn't see it, or pretended not to see it.

He didn't care, put away the sound transmission jade slip, and quietly waited for the auction to start. …… Inside the Imperial City Heavenly Prison.

"Let's go!"

"Line up!" The jailers shouted and kicked the captives out of their cells. Jian Dong walked well, and suddenly received a whip on his back, and when he looked back, he saw a jailer swearing at him.

"Old thing, hurry up!"

"Dare to look back at me? What to watch? Do you still think you're a Demon Venerable? I'm telling you, no matter who you are out there, you're just a prisoner here! As he spoke, another whip was whipped on Jian Dong.

The jailer's face showed a little smugness, these Demon Venerable powerhouses that they could only look up to on weekdays were now sealed and cultivated, and they became a punching bag for them to beat and scold at will, and a tool for them to gain a sense of superiority.

Jian Dong frowned, ignored the jailer, and walked straight to the front of the line, and there were two other people next to him, a man and a woman, both of whom were Demon Venerable cultivators.

The three of them Demon Venerable captives stood at the front, and the other captives lined up in a long line according to their cultivation.

From the Demon Venerable to the Demon Lord cultivation, there are two hundred people. The Demon Realm army captured a total of more than 2,000 captives that day, but those who cultivated below the Demon Monarch were not qualified to be transported to the Imperial City Heavenly Prison, and they had already been digested in other Demon Domains.

Those who can be sent to the Imperial City for detention and auction are at least Demon Lord Cultivation. After the captives lined up, several jailers stood aside and waited, and began to chat.

"Since these mongrels were imprisoned, Lao Tzu hasn't been back home for a day, and he is on duty every day, and today can be regarded as sending them away."

"Yes, now we just need to hand them over to the Emperor Mountain Army in charge of escorting, and we will complete the task."

"You say, who will be in charge of escorting this time?"

"It's hard to say, it may be Lord Xintai Demon Venerable, after all, there are three Demon Venerable among the prisoners."

"You say, will there be an escort from the Demon Emperor?"

"This ...... Probably not, right? Every Demon Emperor has to be entangled in things, and he is very busy, how can he have the time to escort the prisoners. ”

"That's not necessarily, I heard that many of the prisoners this time are from the sword guards, and you know that those crazy people can do anything, maybe they will really be escorted by the Demon Emperor himself." A few people were chatting, and they didn't notice that it was quiet and scary outside the prison at this time.

Outside the Heavenly Prison, a spatial crack opened, and several Heavenly Prison guards who were close to the spatial crack had collapsed to the ground and lost their breath.

The two array mages stood outside the Heavenly Prison Guardian Array, holding the array plate and the jade slip in their hands, and were breaking the formation step by step.

Both of them could be seen to be very nervous, and their faces were anxious. A person came out of the spatial crack and comforted: "Don't worry, there is still an hour, you take your time, just don't make mistakes." "The people of the sword guard just chose to rob the prison at this time, instead of waiting until the prisoner came out of the prison and was ready to hand over before making a move, because they got the news that there might be a Demon Emperor escort this time.

Having the Demon Emperor escort means that they can't succeed for a while, which will definitely attract more Demon Emperors, so they can only choose the time of the prison robbery before the prisoner is handed over.

Because there are prohibitions in each cell in the prison, if they choose to start earlier, after breaking through the prison, they will have to break the prohibition in the cell one by one, which will delay too much time.

What they lack most in prison robbery is time, because their hard power is not as good as that of their opponents, so they can only fight quickly. At this time, it is the best time to do it, the prisoners in the prison are all released from the cell, line up and wait for the escort team to arrive, they only need to crack the big array, kill into the prison without knowing it, take the prisoners, hide in the void, and they will be safe.

But time was also very short, and there was only one hour between the time the prisoner left the cell and the escort team came to pick up the person.

Those two formation mages were also under a lot of pressure, both of them were seventh-grade array mages, and they were considered the top formation mages among the Vault Dwellers, but in the face of the eight-rank immortal formation, they had no bottom in their hearts.

The jade slip in the hands of the two of them was the method of breaking the formation that Ji Chen had given to Miss Yuwei before. Fortunately, the method of breaking the formation is really powerful, and the process of breaking the formation is extremely smooth and the progress is very fast.

The two array mages glanced at each other, at this speed, they would only need half an hour at most to break through this eight-rank array!
