Chapter 698: The Demon Emperor's Invitation
"Don't be in a hurry?
The purple-eyed lion king suddenly raised his voice, and the fire flickered in his dark purple lion eyes: "This time, the Demon Saint Lord sent us to the Southern Regions to hunt down Duan Chen, then Lu Chen is obviously very suspicious, but as a result, you don't care about it one by one, if I don't keep an eye on it, do I have to rely on you to make things happen?"
After a slight pause, the purple-eyed lion pretended to be yin and yang and said: "I know, you all have backers, even if you don't succeed in chasing Duan Chen this time, you are not afraid of the Demon Saint Lord blaming you afterwards, of course you don't have to worry." ”
Zhu Yan Demon King frowned slightly, but he knew that the Purple-Eyed Lion King was under a lot of pressure, so he had to comfort: "It's useless to be anxious, this is the Southern Domain, not our Eastern Domain, do you really think that the Demon Clan will watch us chase and kill Duan Chen, and don't care about anything?"
"Are you saying that the Demon Clan might meddle in this matter?" asked the Purple-Eyed Lion King, staring at the Zhuyan Demon King.
"It's not possible, it's certain. Zhu Yan Demon King shook his head and said: "The reason why the demon clan has no obvious action now is that they are waiting for us to find Duan Chen, once we find Duan Chen, they will definitely be the first to jump out!"
"So what? Is it because of the demons that we don't do anything?" the purple-eyed lion king frowned.
Zhu Yan Demon King was a little unhappy in his heart, but his face was silent: "Don't forget another purpose for us to come to the Southern Regions, right now the White Crane Demon Emperor is negotiating with the Heavenly Spider Demon Emperor, as long as there is progress in the negotiations, it will not be too late to act at that time." ”
"What about Lu Chen, don't tell me that you don't have any suspicions about him. The purple-eyed lion king nodded slightly, and then asked in a hurry.
Zhu Yan Demon King did suspect that Lu Chen was Duan Chen, although the race was wrong, but the racial origin could be explained by taking away.
And the two of them look extremely similar, at such a sensitive moment, how can the Zhu Yan Demon King not doubt that he met a person who looks so similar to Duan Chen in the Southern Regions?
However, the next development of events surprised the Zhu Yan Demon King.
The ranking of Lu Chen on the Demon Doctor List is enough to show his attainments in the way of the Demon Doctor, and after Lu Chen and the Demon Chen King fought each other, the strength he showed was also quite amazing.
All kinds of signs show that Lu Chen's attainments in magic skills are extraordinary.
And don't forget, he's a master magician himself.
Is it really possible that such a person is disguised by that Duan Chen?
Zhu Yan Demon King remained suspicious of this in his heart, but his face did not show anything: "This Lu Chen is indeed a little suspicious, but we don't have to make a big deal about it, just send someone to keep an eye on it, after all, this person is not necessarily Duan Chen's disguise." ”
"Don't you think he?" the Purple-Eyed Lion King raised his eyebrows.
"Probably not. Zhu Yan Demon King's tone was reserved: "If he is Duan Chen, then after he fled into the Southern Regions with all his might, why did he show his true face, make a big fanfare, and make everyone know?"
The purple-eyed lion king was dumbfounded.
This is also something he has never figured out, Duan Chen is now being pursued by the human race and the demon clan, even if he escapes into the Southern Regions, he may not be safe.
In such a situation, it is the most correct choice to remain incognito and hibernate in a low-key manner, where would he act with such fanfare as Lu Chen?
Unless he is idle and dies fast enough.
At this moment, his subordinates sent an invitation, and after reading the content of the invitation, the purple-eyed lion king and the Zhuyan demon king couldn't help but flash slightly.
Demon Soldier Pavilion, outside the Heavenly Flame Pool.
Yao An and the Qinglin Demon Emperor were bored guarding outside the door, and at this time, nearly a month had passed since Duan Chen entered the Demon Flame Pool.
Although the two of them didn't know the purpose of Duan Chen and the Demon Weapon Pavilion renting the Demon Flame Pool, being able to stay in the Demon Flame Pool for nearly a month was enough to explain some problems.
But there is one more important thing that needs to be solved by the two of them at the moment, and that is to renew the lease.
Before Duan Chen entered the Demon Flame Pool, he had only paid one month's rent, and now that the next month's period was about to expire, they were not sure if Duan Chenda planned to renew the lease, and they were even more unsure if Duan Chen was at a critical moment right now.
After all, if Duan Chen was at a critical moment and couldn't come out to renew the lease, they could only help renew the lease in advance.
Just when Yao Anxin was thinking about whether to help Duan Chen renew the lease for a month in advance, suddenly, the Qinglin Demon Emperor, who had been closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, suddenly opened his eyes, and his originally indifferent eyes suddenly flashed a trace of sharp edge.
Yao An was stunned, but he reacted very quickly, immediately realized something, and said with a slight narrowing of his eyes: "Friend, come out!"
As soon as the words fell, a demonic shadow emerged from the darkness like a ghost.
"Hehe, Mr. Yao deserves to be Mr. Yao......"
Before the other party's words were finished, the figure of the Qinglin Demon Emperor disappeared from the spot, and he did not hesitate to make a move.
Yao An couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this, although he didn't recognize the identity of the person, but this is the Demon Soldier Pavilion, the other party can walk here, whether it is allowed by the Demon Soldier Pavilion or not, the identity strength is not simple.
Of course, the Qinglin Demon Emperor was even more difficult, so although the incident happened suddenly, Yao An was not worried at all, and he didn't even plan to help.
You must know that although the Qinglin Demon Emperor is seriously injured, after all, his cultivation is still in the stage of transforming into a god, even if he can't use the magic power in his body, the strength of his own demon body alone is enough to subdue the comer.
Under Yao An's gaze, I saw that the figure of the Qinglin Demon Emperor suddenly appeared outside Zhang Xu Kai, and his right hand hidden under the sleeve robe poked out slightly, and a dark cyan magic pattern suddenly appeared on his arm, like a vine, quickly covering his entire right arm.
Then I saw the Qinglin Demon Emperor's five fingers bluffing, and he grabbed at the other party in the air. Flying
Airplanes!
In an instant, the void within a radius of tens of zhang was like dough, and with the grasp of the Qinglin Demon Emperor, it wantonly changed various shapes.
However, the person who came was obviously not a mediocre hand, and his body writhed strangely in mid-air, and he actually broke free from the grasp of the Qinglin Demon Emperor.
But before he could rejoice, a palm covered with dark cyan magic patterns quietly pressed on his chest.
Bang!
The dull sound of the impact was not very loud, but the person who came was like being struck by lightning, and the whole person was knocked away and slammed into the wall.
The sharp pain of the moment left his mind blank.
I don't know how long it took for him to regain consciousness, and then he found that every bone in his body seemed to be falling apart, and he couldn't lift up any strength.
What a subtle control!
The people who came were trembling, full of incredulity, the strength of the other party was obviously much higher than their own, and the control of their strength was very exquisite, they were obviously not injured, but their bodies could not move, it was not easy to do this.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart, he originally wanted to give the other party a dismount, but he didn't expect it......
Yao An glanced at the Qinglin Demon Emperor with a little surprise, the Qinglin Demon Emperor did not kill the other party, or even injured the other party, which surprised him.
You must know that although the Qinglin Demon Emperor seems to be very talkative on weekdays, no matter which version of the rumors, the Qinglin Demon Emperor is definitely not a benevolent person, let alone a soft-hearted person.
But this time, the Qinglin Demon Emperor rarely didn't hurt the other party, could it be because of years of cultivating his mind?
Or did he already recognize the identity of the person who came?
Yao An felt that it was most likely the latter.
......
In the Demon Flame Pool, Duan Chen looked at the Blood Demon Banner in his hand, his face full of satisfaction.
After refining, the Blood Demon Banner was integrated with many high-level magic materials, and the internal spirit patterns were also washed away by him with spiritual washing water, and replaced with the magic patterns designed by the Seven Demon Lords and the Heaven Locking Temple.
However, in general, the Blood Demon Banner has not changed much compared to before, and it has only transformed from a top-grade magic weapon to a top-grade magic treasure.
Therefore, even though the Blood Demon Banner had been transformed into a Demon Treasure, Duan Chen still decided to continue to use the name Blood Demon Banner.
"There are not many magic treasures in the essence, there are two superb magic treasures, the Blood Demon Banner and the Dust Extinguishing Aurora Mirror, which are enough for me to use in the Yuan Infant Period. ”
After putting the Blood Demon Banner into the dantian to cultivate, Duan Chen thought about it, and without hesitation, he opened the door of the Demon Flame Pool and walked out.
However, as soon as he walked out, he saw a strange unicorn demon clan desperately currying favor with the Qinglin Demon Emperor.
Seeing this, Duan Chen couldn't help but look at Yao An on the side.
Yao An was about to explain to Duan Chen, but the one-horned demon took the initiative to step forward and said, "Under the order of the deputy city lord, I have come to send the master an invitation to tomorrow's banquet. ”
As he spoke, Meng Tianzhu took out a red invitation card from the storage ring and handed it to Duan Chen.
Duan Chen raised his eyebrows, took the invitation with a slight surprise, and immediately showed a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
The content of the invitation is very simple, it is to invite him to the city lord's mansion for a banquet tomorrow night.
As for the content of the banquet, there was no mention on the invitation, and the payment was made by the Heavenly Spider Demon Emperor.
Obviously, no matter what the content of tomorrow's dinner is, the four gilded characters of the Heavenly Spider Demon Emperor printed on the invitation alone have to be treated with caution.
"Go back and tell the Heavenly Spider Demon Emperor seniors for me, just say that you must go to the banquet on time in the evening. Putting away the red invitation card in his hand, Duan Chen nodded slightly and said to Meng Tianzhu.
"Then I'll be waiting for the master in the City Lord's Mansion. Meng Tianzhu showed a satisfied smile on his face, and immediately bowed slightly to the Qinglin Demon Emperor, and then turned to leave.
"Does Elder Qing know this person?" After Meng Tianzhu left, Duan Chen couldn't help but look at the Qinglin Demon Emperor.
"I don't know each other, this kid is the youngest son of the Heavenly Spider Demon Emperor, and he has met a few times before. Qinglin Demon Emperor said casually, and then changed the conversation: "Tomorrow's dinner, you'd better be careful." ”
"Why did Elder Qing say this?" Duan Chen was already extremely wary of this sudden invitation to the dinner party, and couldn't help but ask when he heard this.
"The relationship between the Heavenly Spider Demon Emperor and Master Xiao of the Demon Doctor Pavilion is irreversible, and he invited you this time, just for the sake of Master Xiao. Qinglin Demon Emperor said in a deep voice.
"Master Xiao, is Qing Lao talking about Master Xiao Manxiao, who is ranked eighth on the Demon Doctor List?" Duan Chen's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked.
"Yes, it's him. Qinglin Demon Emperor nodded slightly: "The old hall master of the Demon Doctor Pavilion is approaching, this Xiao Man is one of the most favorable candidates to compete for the new hall master at the moment, at this juncture, the Heavenly Spider Demon Emperor took the initiative to invite you, and he wanted to win you over to help Xiao Man take the position." ”
