Chapter 8: Captivating Hearts
By this time it was completely dark, and on the remote path outside the village of Keyin, there were no lights, no candles, and it was even darker all around. The only light came from a silver long sword, the blade pointed at it, Yu Yang was pale, but he sat on the ground extremely calmly, sweat oozing from his forehead, sliding from the corners of his eyes. His eyes were fixed on the Demonic Heart straight ahead from the darkness.
"You are a member of the demon race, how did you come to my spirit realm, and when did you come. Although Yu Yang was no longer able to fight, he did not have a trace of fear, but wanted to figure things out.
The demon heart didn't say much, but replied: "Death is coming, and you still have the leisure to take care of these things." However, General Yu is not simple, and you can still keep you alive under the Thousand Kills Formation, it seems that my kung fu is not yet home. ”
Yu Yang smiled bitterly and said, "It's really not easy for you to have such skills at such a young age. Yu underestimated you today and died at your hands, which can be regarded as convincing. So far, I don't care who you are, it seems that you have already planned in advance, and I am afraid that this spiritual continent will have another storm. ”
The demon thought for a moment and said, "That's it, General Yu, if you answer me a question, I'll let you go back today." ”
Yu Yang didn't react after hearing this, but replied: "Yu's life is in your hands, you say let it go, and kill it if you say kill, how can I change it with a few words." Let's just have a good time, and that's it. ”
Demon Xin ignored Yu Yang's words, and continued to ask: "You have been working with He Xing for some time, this person is a little suspicious, if you want to attack and kill this person, I am afraid it will not be easy." Tell me how to take his life, or any of his weaknesses. ”
Yu Yang snorted coldly after hearing this, and replied: "Yu sincerely makes friends with others, and has never probed the other party's weakness. I'm afraid Yu won't be able to help with this favor. ”
If Yu Yang has something to say, the demon heart wants to go to this congratulatory trip for a while before the army comes, if Yu Yang doesn't say it, forget it, after all, he has no obligation to do these things. At this time, the demon heart felt a little tired, after all, the operation of the magic circle just now was extremely expensive. So he said to Yu Yang: "In this case, it's useless for me to keep you, you are here underground, together with Tao Xianxian, and watch the army of my clan trample through here." ”
It was only at this time that Yu Yangfang knew that Tao Xianzhang had also died at the hands of this person, but he didn't have a chance to think about it anymore, and the sword in the demon heart's hand flashed and took his life. His regret and unwillingness were also buried in the ground together. Demon Heart withdrew the silver long sword, and took one last look at Yu Yang on the ground, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. Then he left the battlefield, found a hidden bush, and sat cross-legged to regulate the magic in his body. He had to regain enough mana before dawn to deal with the unknown afterward.
Demon Race, on the plain of Asachons, on a huge magic circle, at this time, a burst of strong light flashed, and Bian Lu appeared in his array.
When the guards around saw Bian Lu, they saluted him one after another. Bian Lu was a little flustered at this time, and asked casually, "Where is the king now?" Seeing that he was in a hurry, the guard immediately replied: "It should be in General Shao's tent at this time." Bian Lu stopped talking and walked straight to Shao Xuanxuan's tent.
After Bian Lu left, the guard looked at his figure and asked the people next to him: "General Bian came back so panicked this time, I don't know if something important happened, when I came back last time, it wasn't like this." ”
Another guard said, "yes, that's weird. Then he thought for a while, and then said: "I remember that the last time General Bian went to the spirit world, it seemed that he was accompanied by the young master, why did he come back alone today." ”
The first guard also reacted at this time: "That's right. The young master did not come back today, and General Bian was so panicked, it could be that something happened to the young master over there. The two discussed for a long time, but they didn't know why, so they could only wait for news from the camp.
In Shao Xuanxuan's tent, Mo Yuan and Shao Xuanxuan were talking about something. At this time, Bian Lu hurriedly walked into the tent and saluted to the Demon Yuan.
At this time, Shao Xuanxuan had fully recovered, and his demeanor was slightly energetic. In this case, Mo Yuan no longer avoided Shao Xuanxuan in discussing military affairs. So after Bian Lu entered, he asked directly: "General Bian, why are you so flustered?"
Bian Lu didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "On Xilu's side, He Xing has discovered an abnormality, and I'm afraid that the formation will be discovered soon, so the young master asked me to come back and tell the king whether to march early." ”
After hearing this, Mo Yuan's face immediately became a little ugly, and he said, "This time, I ordered the two of you to enter the spirit, just to delay time and cover the smooth operation of the magic circle. Now that you say that the matter has been revealed, you dare to come back and report it to me. ”
Bian Lu was a little frightened when he heard this, and then said: "The young master did not return with me this time, and insisted on staying in the spirit realm to fight against Xilu's search force to ensure the safety of the magic circle. I was supposed to stay there and fight the enemy with the young master, but the young master asked me to come back first and tell the king the truth. At this time, the young master was still alone in the spirit world, hoping that the king could send troops to attack as soon as possible, and at the same time support the young master. ”
At this time, Shao Xuanxuan on the side said: "It is really dangerous for the young master to stay alone in the spirit world, and if he fights with the spirit world army, he will be outnumbered. The magic circle has now been basically arranged, and it can teleport nearly 100,000 troops, and if the king orders it, Xuan Xuan can open a large-scale teleportation at any time. ”
This was exactly what Bian Lu meant, he nodded his head, and turned to look at Mo Yuan with a pleading gaze.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Mo Yuan's face returned to calm, and he said slowly: "Since the Demon Heart has been protecting the Spirit Realm, it is another matter. According to the original plan, the troops will be sent at noon tomorrow, and the situation over there will be fine. ”
Bian Lu thought that he had misheard it at the moment, but he didn't expect that everything was just as the original Demon Heart said, and Mo Yuan didn't blame himself for this, but seemed a little happy! Bian Lu seemed to inadvertently see a snicker on the corner of Mo Yuan's mouth.
At this moment, Mo Yuan said to Bian Lu: "General Bian, is there any new information on this trip to the spirit world?" If there is, we need to discuss it as soon as possible today, so that we can make final preparations for tomorrow's attack. ”
Bian Lu immediately came back to his senses from his thoughts, although Bian Lu didn't understand Mo Yuan's attitude towards the Demon Heart leaving him alone in the spirit realm, but now that Mo Yuan's energy was focused on the matter of marching into the spirit attack, he wouldn't say more. He nodded to Mo Yuan, "This time, I have investigated the area around Xilu and obtained some information. ”
When Mo Yuan heard this, a smile appeared on his face again, and he said to Bian Lu, "Okay. Go and inform the generals to assemble at the main camp, and today I will determine the plan to march. Then he turned his head to Shao Xuan and said, "Xuan Xuan, come together, and explain the situation of the magic circle to everyone." ”
Shao Xuanxuan nodded yes. Bian Lu glanced at the two, stopped talking, and bowed and retired. After leaving the house, Bian Lu remembered the demon heart that remained in the spirit world. Now Mo Yuan's mind is all about the grand plan to enter the army, completely ignoring the life and death of the young master, and only regards him as his stepping stone. In the past, the king's concern, attention, and cultivation of the young master were for the sake of today? Bian Lu shook his head helplessly and went to inform everyone to gather.
When Bian Lu returned to the Demon Clan from the Spirit Realm, it was about evening, and the meeting of the Demon Yuan lasted until late at night.
After the meeting, everyone went back to rest. At this time, Bian Lu walked alone in the camp without any tiredness.
Although the Demon King Star is large, its spatial location is relatively remote, and it is relatively far away from the light source planet, so there are fewer days and more nights on this planet, and people are used to living and working at night. This is also a major flaw in the living conditions of this planet.
Bian Lu was also accustomed to such nights, accustomed to the surrounding fire. He didn't think there was anything wrong with living under such a night, but it made him feel that in this environment, he could think quietly, cultivate purely, or rest peacefully.
Bian Lu, as the leader of the Demon Intelligence Department, is the busiest at this time of war. What has happened in the past two days has made him very tired. He needs to calm himself down now to organize his thoughts in case he gets overwhelmed.
At this time, Demon Yuan silently appeared behind him, but he was completely unaware of it.
"You're tired from running around for the past two days, and you're still thinking about the devil's heart. "The Demon Abyss silently appeared, shattering the silence of this place.
Bian Lu stopped, turned around and found that it was Mo Yuan, and then saluted respectfully and said, "Nothing can escape your eyes, I am indeed still a little worried about the young master." At the moment when I returned to the demon, there were spiritual guards rushing to the magic circle, and the young master decided to stay alone to resist the spirit army in order to protect the secret of the magic circle. I don't know how many people there are on the other side, and whether the young master is okay now. ”
A kind smile appeared on Mo Yuan's face at this time, as if he was a kind and kind father. "Xin'er has been by my side since he was 10 years old, and while I hope that he will grow up more healthy and strong, and his skills will get better day by day, I hope that he can be responsible, responsible, confident, and assertive. If I only hope for the former, it proves that I treat him as a son. If I look forward to both at the same time, it proves that I am treating him as a king. Xin'er will take my place in the future and become the king, and he should have his own judgment and the ability to be a man. Protecting him too much will only make him more and more vulnerable, and only by letting him fight a piece of the world by himself can he support the entire demon clan with the power of one person. ”
Bian Lu listened to Mo Yuan's words, and he kept thinking. As Mo Yuan said, Demon Heart is not his son, but the future leader of the Demon Race. This time the choice of the Demon Heart is more like the choice that a king should make, which is a manifestation of his ability to lead the whole clan and put the interests of the whole clan first. Now Bian Lu feels that the choice of the demon heart, and the attitude of the demon yuan are right. And it's yourself who is wrong.
Mo Yuan continued: "I remember that when I was twenty-one years old, the first king led me to attack the foreign tribes, and ordered me to be a bait to lure away the enemy's army and attack the opponent's main city directly. I was trapped on a mountain for five days and five nights, holding my position and resisting more than 30 attacks, and finally waited for the news of victory. At that time, I hated the previous king for this plan, and it almost cost me my life. But then I realized that my hard work for a few days was exchanged for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of my clan. That's when I realized my responsibility. I don't just live for myself, but for the whole clan and civilians. ”
Bian Lu had already understood Mo Yuan's mind at this time, it was precisely because of the leadership of the person in front of him that his race would grow stronger and stronger. And for the sake of the future of the clan, the young master's demon heart must be the same as him.
Bian Lu said respectfully: "King Xie clicked, Bian Lu understood." Mo Yuan didn't say much more, waved his hand at him, and said, "Okay, rest early, tomorrow is the key, go back and recuperate." ”
Bian Lu nodded, Shi Li turned to leave, Mo Yuan's face flattened, snorted coldly at Bian Lu's back, and said to himself: "Ignorant people, don't spoil our clan's plan." ”
