Deep underground in the Yan Palace, there is a place that only the Yan royal family is qualified to enter and exit.

It's called Zugu Cave.

Today, the eighth king of the Great Yan Kingdom, Yan Huanren, plans to enter Zugu Cave because of several recent events that have happened in the border.

He wanted to tell the people in this cave house the ins and outs of those things carefully.

It's hard to imagine that the dignified Yan King, a figure at the pinnacle of power! I even have to report the matter to another person.

At this time, he walked down the wide bluestone staircase.

On the two mottled stone walls, a light and candle will appear at intervals, pulling Yan Huanren's figure down and stretching it slenderly.

The face of the fifty-year-old is still full of elegance, and it does not look old, which shows that it is not often encountered in daily life that you need to work hard.

But today there is a little seriousness on this face.

Although there are already two pillars of incense on the stone steps.

Yan Huanren didn't have the slightest impatience.

His Royal Highness King Yan, who can be pampered and pampered, has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and walked hard in person.

It's the only one in the Turquo Cave.

……

After about half a burnt of incense, his feet finally stepped down the stairs.

A deep hallway appeared ahead.

Yan Huanren stepped on the copper brick floor and walked to the end of the corridor.

The innermost part of the promenade is not lit.

Because every time you light a candle, it will be extinguished quickly, and if you can't light it, you won't light it at all.

Every time I come, I have to walk in the dark on the last road of the promenade.

The foot is also flat, so be careful not to fall.

At the end, there is a heavy stone gate that cuts the corridor into the inside and the outside.

Outside, it is the place where Yan Huanren and other royal families are qualified to set foot.

Inside, there is a secret that has never seen the light and never let people see the true face for hundreds of years.

At this time, Yan Huanren stood six feet outside the stone gate, and then bowed respectfully.

"The younger generation sees the ancestors."

The words fell for a long time, and only a trace of his own echo was obtained.

But Yan Huanren is not surprised.

Continue to say respectfully, "Next, the junior will tell the ancestor what happened in the Great Yan Kingdom recently."

Then, he said aloud.

"Two months ago, a large number of demons suddenly appeared in the major cities of the Great Yan Kingdom, and high-level demon slayers almost rushed out to fight against them."

"Fifteen days ago, there was a great demon of unknown origin who washed the Demon Slayer with blood, causing two hundred and seventy-six first-order demon slayers and two third-order demon slayers to die."

"In addition, the aura of the demon dragon soul suppressed in the demon dragon cemetery disappeared, but the thunder seal was not damaged. After the inspection of the demon slayer, the demon dragon soul has been completely annihilated. ”

"As for the large-scale invasion of Yan Kingdom by demons and ghosts, what is the purpose of the bloodbath of the Demon Division, it is still under investigation. However, the preliminary judgment should be related to the demon dragon soul. Shen Long, the director of the Demon Suppression Division, is also cooperating with the criminal court trial. ”

So solemnly, after finishing this speech, Yan Huanren grabbed a scroll from his cuff.

In this scroll, everything he has just told is recorded.

The reason why I did this extra thing, both talking and writing, was to ensure that the ancestors could actually know those things.

After all, this ancestor has been in retreat for hundreds of years, and he does not eat the fireworks of the world. Even Yan Huanren, who is the eighth generation of the prince of Yan, has never seen the true face of that character in Shimen.

If it weren't for the occasional scroll that I would take back in the stone drawer on the back of the scroll, I would have seen the handwriting of the instructions written by the ancestor in a few words, I am afraid that the descendants of the surname Yan would have suspected that there was no one in the stone gate at all.

……

At this time, Yan Huanren raised his hand and gently pressed it on a square brick on the stone door in front of him.

"Smack-"

Immediately, a two-foot-square stone drawer popped out of the heavy rock of the stone door.

In the drawer, there are also scrolls.

That was the last time I responded to the old ancestor's report on the status of the ninth-order demon slayer cultivation in the Demon Slayer Division.

At this time, Yan Huanren took out the old scroll, put the new scroll in, and finally gently pushed the stone drawer in.

When you're done, bow down.

said, "The junior retires."

Then he turned around and walked down the dark hallway, the way he came.

When he turned the corner and stepped up the stone steps, he paused to meet the light of the first candle hanging on the wall, and opened the old scroll that had just been replaced.

Yan Huanren carefully examined the scroll in his hand, both on the front and back.

only to find that there was no word of the ancestor's command in the scroll this time.

This is to be expected.

It is not common for the handwriting of the ancestors to appear in the scroll, and it is considered a lot to have one out of ten times.

The words accumulated over hundreds of years are no more than a thousand words.

But even so, it can't change the absolute authority that this character in Shimen has over the Great Yan Kingdom.

Today's descendants of the Yan royal family are not proficient in cultivation techniques, and they can't bear the hardships of cultivation, they are just ordinary people with noble status.

But this group of ordinary people can make the demon slayer who has the ability to open mountains and seas with their bare hands bow down and obey their orders.

Not for him.

It is precisely because of the Yan Palace, in this ancestral cave, there is an ancestor of the Yan royal family who has lived for hundreds of years.

His name is Yan Beichen.

Four hundred and sixty years ago, he killed the demon dragon, cultivated the demon slayer to build the demon town division, and created the Great Yan Kingdom, the first generation of Yan King!

……

At this time, Yan Huanren retracted the scroll into his sleeve and walked up the stairs.

The next time I came back, it was a month away.

The Turgu Cave has regained its silence.

It was like a secret room that Yan Huanren used to talk to himself.

There was no movement in this place except for his own voice, which had just echoed.

Silent as a tomb.

However, not long after Yan Huanren left.

At the end of the corridor, inside the stone gate, in the inky dark space, a pair of eyes that seemed to radiate the light of the stars slowly opened.

It was three or four feet above the ground, two or three feet apart.

The two eyeballs were silently suspended in the air, not moving a single bit.

When he opened it at this moment, his pupils were not mixed with any emotions, just like the eyes of a night owl isolated on the dry bones and corpses during the third watch.

After a long time, those eyes looked down slightly.

At the same time, he seemed to raise one of his hands and place it horizontally in front of the eyes, scrutinizing it.

Through the luster of his eyes, he can glimpse the outline of a finger on that hand.

It was a long, thick, eagle-clawed finger.

In the darkness, the eyes carefully examined their hands, revealing a strange glow.

After a long time, he put his hand down again.

The pupils, which were as bright as stars, also closed again.
