Chapter 116: A belated confrontation
"It's so quiet tonight."
"It's like, it's finally quiet, the night before yesterday, there was a lot of fire, and I thought the orcs had called. β
"Hey...... I really don't want to fight, why do you say that our demon clan has been doing so much recently......"
Outside the Demon King Hall in the night, the two demon clan guards whispered, the rare silence of the past two days gave them a chance to breathe, no longer tired of guarding everywhere, the two of them leaned on the stone pillars outside the hall, talking about the turmoil of the demon clan in the past few days.
I only heard a "whoosh" sound in my ears.
"Did you hear it, it seems to be a sound!" a guard looked around alertly, vaguely sensing something flash past him in the night.
Don't be scary, you must have been tired for the past few days, and you are hallucinating. The other guard disagreed, yawned and patted the other man on the shoulder, "Okay, don't be suspicious, let's go up there for a walk, the leader of the province will see that he is lazy." β
As he spoke, he picked up the guards around him, and the two walked towards the other end of the corridor together.
And just behind them, on the roof of the palace, a black shadow was watching their distant backs, the black shadow's breath was weak, and the cold eyes looked around from time to time, seeing the guards gradually moving away, the black shadow slowly breathed, the feet were slightly forced, and the body fluttered, as if it was carried by the wind, quietly floating on the city wall outside the palace.
Although the outer wall of the Demon King's Hall is wooden, it has long been covered with moss and other mosses over the years, and it has become unusually smooth, and the black shadow seems to be stuck on it, moving up little by little, until the window with the lights on.
The shadow moved to the top of the window and slowly poked its head down, taking a closer look inside. I saw that on the dim lampstand, the bright light blown by the wind from time to time illuminated a sleeping figure, and only a faint sound of nose could be heard. And the sound of the leaves swaying outside the window blew through a gust of wind, the light suddenly illuminated the window, a pair of cold eyes suddenly appeared in the night, the black shadow feet on the wall lightly, both hands pressed the upper edge of the window, the body slowly rotated in the air, like a rotating windmill, the body fell on the lower edge of the window, the whole process did not make any sound.
The wind blew through the windows, and only a "bang" sound was heard. The windows were blown open by the wind, the candles on the lampstands were blown out, and the room became pitch black.
"Someone, someone!" With a few shouts, the sound of a rapid run sounded in the corridor outside the room.
The door of the room was slammed open, and several guards rushed into the room with lanterns in their hands, and the leading head of the guard rushed straight to the bed.
"Demon King, what's wrong?" the chief guard shouted at the bed, and the other guards behind him surrounded the bed while on guard. A man walked to the candlestick with a walking lamp in hand, and in a moment the whole room was lit up again.
The chief guard was stunned for a moment, it was the demon king Qinglong in front of him, and at this moment he was curled up in the quilt. And the quilt was constantly shaking, and the chief guard shouted twice, "Demon King, Demon King." He suddenly raised his head and shouted at the other guards, "Turn your head away." Go through the whole house. β
The demon king covered the quilt and shivered, after all, it was not a beautiful thing, and it was naturally not good to be seen by the guards. The chief of the guard can be regarded as sensible, so he opened all the guards and slowly lifted the life that was covered on the head of the demon king's green dragon.
A short sword suddenly stabbed out from the open life, the chief of the guard was shocked, the blade still pierced his eyebrows, the chief of the guard half opened his mouth, a look of horror, but he was no longer breathing, he never thought that it was the master he was loyal to day and night - the demon king Qinglong who gave him a fatal blow.
"Chief Guard, Chief Guard!" This scene happened so suddenly, and several guards were even more stunned.
"Bold, dare to approach me casually!" Qinglong suddenly shouted, raised a foot and lifted it towards the chest of the chief guard, the corpse was kicked out in an instant, blood spurted out along the wound, and the two guards caught the body of the chief guard, "Demon King, chief guard......"
"Shut up, it was he who approached me casually and caused me to be injured by mistake, you can drag him down. Qinglong couldn't help but shout at everyone.
The guards looked at each other, all of them were silent, carrying the body of the chief of the guard to the door, "slow" Everyone was stunned for a moment, only to see Qinglong slowly walk to the corpse of the chief of the guard, and covered his face with a white silk scarf, covering his face with a look of horror.
"When I went back, I said that I had died while capturing the assassin, and I told Elder SΓΉ Flying Fox to give him more compensation and bury him properly. Qinglong's deep voice echoed through the room, and several guards nodded and left with the corpse.
The door was closed, Qinglong looked at the blood on the ground, the sweat oozing from his face didn't know what had soaked his collar, and the clothes on his back were even more tightly attached to his body.
Qinglong sighed, sat down on the edge of the bed, and muttered to himself, "Why is this happening?
Just as he was immersed in his own anguish, he suddenly heard a familiar and terrifying voice in his head.
"It seems that your life is not having a good time," the voice kept echoing in his ears in the empty room.
Qinglong was suddenly stunned, and looked around in panic, "It's you, it's you!" His voice was full of anger and hysteria.
The two demon guards who stayed at the door just wanted to go in, but suddenly thought of the scene just now, the two of them glanced at each other, and they knew that there might be nothing in the door. The two demon guards quietly left, as if they hadn't heard anything.
"Guard, someone......" But before he could shout, he felt a tingling pain in his neck, as if he had been bitten by an insect, and when he touched it with his hand, it was a slender needle, "You ......" Just as he was about to continue shouting, he went to find that no matter how hard he tried, he could not make a sound, he was dumb, and a fear that had never been felt before instantly enveloped his heart.
He could only keep looking around, looking for that person, the god he had brought into the Southern Emperor with one hand.
"Looking for me?" The voice sounded from behind him again, Qinglong shuddered all over, turned his head slowly with a look of fear, and finally in constant panic and fear, he finally saw the person.
"Qinglong, are you looking for us?" A black shadow stood behind Qinglong, a pair of cold eyes stared straight at Qinglong, a deathly chill came to his face, he slowly removed the black veil on his face, and a sly smile was revealed, "Boy, we have a lot to say......" (To be continued......
