Chapter 23: Keep burning

Lei Luo was suddenly overjoyed, and said to the Nine Elders: "In that case, isn't it possible for the boss to return to the Demon Emperor City to inherit the throne and take back his power?"

Hu Lie shook his head: "Don't be stupid, it won't be so simple." ”

The Ninth Elder looked at the thoughtful Dao Yuan and said worriedly: "It's not just not simple, it's simply very difficult! Judging from the news I have investigated over the years, Bu Shen is definitely inextricably linked to the murder of His Majesty!"

"First of all, in addition to Your Majesty, Bu Shen's strength can be regarded as the highest in the clan, and he has the blood of the royal family, so he is the most qualified to sit on the throne of the Demon Emperor!"

"Secondly, he has a huge army under his command, and he is in a high position, if the demon clan dragon has no leader, of course he is the only one, and no one has the strength to compete with him!"

"Moreover, this person has a fanatical pursuit of power and position, and when he was still a teenager, he showed a domineering edge of self-respect!"

"Just these three points are enough to explain a lot of problems!" The Ninth Elder's face was full of gloom: "For more than ten years, several clan elders who are loyal to Your Majesty have disappeared inexplicably, if my expectations are correct, it is likely that Bu Shen imprisoned or killed them, and replaced them with people who are loyal to him!"

"And over the years, he has nominally sent people to find out the whereabouts of His Highness, but in fact the people he sent have not done their best at all, and I suspect that this is completely deliberate on his part......!

Lei Luo exclaimed, "Isn't that boss very dangerous?"

The Ninth Elder didn't speak, and nodded heavily.

Hu Lie said: "As you said, that step Shen's strength is both high and powerful, and he must have made a lot of arrangements over the years, how can Dao Yuan get back what belongs to him?"

"All of this depends on the strength of the son and the Questioning Stone!"

"Oh?

The Nine Elders said: "In the Demon Emperor City, there is a platform through the underworld, which is the gate to the cemetery of the demon emperors of the past dynasties, and the stone containing the true blood of the demon emperor is the only key to the gate, as long as the son stimulates and releases the energy inside, he can smoothly enter the cemetery and obtain the inheritance of the ancestors.

"At that time, the Demon Emperor's order will automatically come back to recognize the Lord, and at that time, no matter how powerful or unwilling Bu Shen is, he must obediently hand over the throne and establish a new lord. If not, it will be an enemy of the entire demon clan, and there will be absolutely no good end!"

Hu Lie said: "Then, what do you say about strength?"

The Ninth Elder said: "This is the ancestor's request and urging to the inheritor, or protection, if you want to enter the cemetery, at least you must reach the cultivation of the Chongyang Realm or even higher, and then you have the ability to use your essence blood to stimulate the Soul Stone, and when you get the inheritance, if the strength is not enough, the powerful energy and the vast information are a huge test for the inheritor, and it is very likely to cause irreparable damage...... Or go up in smoke!"

Lei Luo gasped: "In other words, being qualified to enter and whether or not you can successfully obtain the inheritance are fundamentally two different things!

The Ninth Elder smiled and said, "This is how the Demon Emperors of all generations were born, and only under harsh conditions can they create real masters!, otherwise, why would His Majesty the Demon Emperors of each generation of our reigns cultivate to the heavens and be extremely powerful!?"

Lei Luo slandered in his heart: If it was really powerful, it wouldn't be killed!

However, given that His Majesty the Demon Emperor who was killed was most likely Daoyuan's father, he finally couldn't help but say it.

"All in all, if Gongzi wants to take back the throne, Bu Shen will definitely obstruct it, even if he kills someone, I believe it!"

The Ninth Elder pondered, "My suggestion is that Gongzi should step up his cultivation and strive to reach the Chongyang Realm as soon as possible in order to obtain the qualifications to enter the cemetery. During this time, I set out to contact the old Ministries who were still loyal to His Majesty so that I could plan for the future. ”

Dao Yuan came back to his senses, stared at him and said, "I want to know now, my ...... What is my mother's name, where does the family live, and who else is there now?"

He faintly felt that something was wrong, if all this was really done by Bu Shen, then presumably his mother's family had also suffered from the pond fish, which was almost the inevitable means taken by the initiators of the conspiracy - killing people and destroying their mouths!

Sure enough, the Nine Elders said slowly: "The queen's family has been completely wiped out......

He glanced at Dao Yuan, whose face was instantly gloomy like water, and said cautiously: "The queen's maiden name is Liu Xinyue, and she is the eldest lady of the first city family, Liu Mansion......"

Hu Lie and Lei Luo's faces were shocked, and they said in their hearts that it wouldn't be such a coincidence!

Rumble!

A stone was shattered by the Dao Yuan, and a heavy gasp came from his nostrils, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife like never before.

......

......

It was getting late, and a fog suddenly rose in the mountains, and the distant scene instantly blurred, although it added a hint of ethereal meaning, but it became more and more deep, and the cold air was pressing.

"You should know about the war between the demon race and the human race, right?" Dao Yuan asked lightly, ignoring the growing moisture on his body.

"Yes, my subordinates know and want to ask Childe about it. Why are you here?" In fact, the Ninth Elder had wanted to ask for a long time, but when he saw Dao Yuan's face, he thought about it and held back.

Dao Yuan asked rhetorically, "What do you think?"

"Me?"

The Ninth Elder thought for a moment, then his face suddenly changed, and he said in disbelief: "Don't tell me, Childe, you want to sneak attack the army's grain and grass!"

Dao Yuan didn't answer, but continued to ask, "Do you know why the demon clan wants to invade the territory of the human race?"

The Ninth Elder said, "When Your Majesty was here, the relationship between the two races has always been good, and we even often trade with the human race for our own needs. It's just that I've been away for so many years, and I don't know what happened in Demon Emperor City...... However, as far as I know, the other elders did not support this action very much, and it should be due to Bu Shen's insistence on going his own way for some purpose!"

He suddenly snorted heavily, and said angrily: "Bu Shen, this bastard! The people of the demon clan are already small, and he doesn't talk about recuperation and hard work, but instead makes such a stupid act! The strength of the human race is the first in the continent, he doesn't know how many lives he will lose if he starts a war with others...... he will lose his son's life! Hmph, he and His Majesty's vision is far behind!"

After scolding a few words hatefully, the Ninth Elder said, "Childe, you haven't answered your subordinates yet, won't it be ...... I guessed it!"

Dao Yuan thought about it for a while, and then finally nodded and said, "Yes, you guessed it, we were indeed ordered to burn the grain and grass of the army. ”

"Huh?!...... That's our people! If there is no food and grass...... Why ...... Oh yes, you didn't know who you were back then!" the Ninth Elder was startled at first, then suddenly remembered and asked, "What about ...... What is Childe going to do now?"

He also felt embarrassed for Daoyuan, on the one hand, his own clansmen, and on the other hand, his mother's clansmen, it seemed that no matter how he chose, it was a little inappropriate.

Dao Yuan frowned and pondered, and after a moment, said softly: "Burn." ”

The Nine Elders were a little incredulous, and changed color and said, "Why?"

Hu Lie and Lei Luo also looked at him confused.

"We learned that the grain and grass of the demon army were hoarded in three places......"

Hearing Dao Yuan's words, the Nine Elders' hearts were shocked: They even knew such an important thing!

“...... In terms of location, two near and one far. In terms of quantity, two less and one more, we are going to this time to the farthest and most grain and grass hoarding place. ”

"If all three places are burned down and there is no logistical supply, the demon army will be defeated like a mountain, and the human army will be under the command of Marshal Tiekaishan, I don't know how many demon clans will kill and injure......"

Dao Yuan smiled slightly: "But if you just burn the two closer grains and grass and leave a reassurance for the army, maybe things won't be so bad......"

Hu Lie and Lei Luo smiled heartily and said in their hearts: This method is good.

The Ninth Elder immediately figured out the key to it, and said happily: "I understand what Childe meant, burn it all, no." If it is not burned, the two armies will face each other, and once a large-scale war starts, I don't know how many people will die!"

"If some of them are burned so that the rations of the army can only last for a small period of time, then, knowing that they cannot win, they will inevitably retreat, and it will not collapse for thousands of miles, so that the human race will have a chance!"

"High!

The Nine Elders were very happy in their hearts, not only because there was a great chance to minimize the casualties of the Demon Clan, but more importantly, Dao Yuan was able to come up with a way in a short period of time.

With such judgment and decision-making ability, isn't this a natural leader!
