Chapter 701: The Feast of the Hongmen
Following the maid all the way to the banquet hall, Duan Chen asked with some curiosity, "I wonder who is attending the banquet tonight?"
The maid replied respectfully while leading the way in front: "Master Qiyu, all the people who came tonight are big people with heads and faces in the Nine Demon City, but the slaves and maids are shallow and don't know any of them, so please don't blame the master." ”
The maid seemed reluctant to mention the matter, so she shut up and concentrated on leading the way.
Seeing this, Duan Chen immediately stopped asking any more questions, and instead focused on how to deal with the Heavenly Spider Demon Emperor and that Master Xiaoman.
Before they knew it, the group came to the venue of the dinner.
The banquet hall was set up in the Celestial Spider Hall of the Celestial Spider Demon Emperor's Mansion.
At this moment, there have been many guests gathered in the hall, crowded, beautiful women like clouds, the air is wafting with the fragrance of wine and delicacies, and some acquaintances are greeting each other with familiar faces, with smiles on their faces.
It can be seen that at tonight's dinner, all the people in the Nine Demon City who are a little famous have received an invitation from the Heavenly Spider Demon Emperor.
And some well-informed forces have already received the news in advance, knowing that Master Xiao Man, who ranks eighth on the Demon Doctor List, has arrived in the Nine Ghost Demon City, and they even guessed that the Heavenly Spider Demon Emperor invited all parties tonight, the purpose of which is to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Master Xiao Man.
For a time, many forces moved their minds
Although Xiao Man may not be able to sit as the new owner of the Demon Doctor Pavilion in the future, no matter whether Xiao Man can succeed or not, having the opportunity to meet a Demon Doctor Master and leave a good relationship is enough to make many forces excited.
Among them is the Demon Clan Mission temporarily residing in the City Lord's Mansion.
......
With a kind smile on his face, the purple-eyed lion king kept toasting to the surrounding demons, and at the same time walked towards the Fengjiu Demon King.
"I can't see that you're quite social. When the Fengjiu Demon King saw him coming over, he couldn't help but joke with a smile.
The Purple-Eyed Lion King shook his head: "After all, this is the Southern Regions, and dealing with the local demons may be more helpful to our future actions." ”
He said so, but even he didn't believe his own words.
The demons are a very strange race. Internally, they can be ruthless, but externally, they are quite united.
Therefore, no matter how much they befriend the local demons, when there is a difference of opinion, these local demons will definitely not stand on their side.
"By the way, what about the White Crane Demon Emperor, aren't you going to attend today's dinner?" The Purple-Eyed Lion King looked at Duan Chen and his party who were brought to the Heavenly Spider Hall by the maid from a distance, and his eyes flashed slightly.
"How noble the identity of an adult is, it is natural that I have to wait until I will appear with Master Xiaoman. The Fengjiu Demon King shook his head, and also noticed Duan Chen's party who had just arrived at the venue.
"Yes. The purple-eyed lion king nodded, and then changed the conversation and said, "I didn't expect this Lu Chen to come too." ”
"It's not surprising that people are masters of magic doctors, so of course they will be invited. The Fengjiu Demon King disagreed.
"That's just as well. The Purple-Eyed Lion King didn't say much.
At this time, an old man of the demon clan on crutches suddenly walked in front of the two of them, and said with great enthusiasm: "I have long admired the names of the Purple-Eyed Lion King and the Fengjiu Demon King, and it is really an honor for the old man to meet two Taoist friends here tonight." ”
The Purple-eyed Lion King and the Fengjiu Demon King didn't know the old man of the demon clan in front of them at all, and when they heard this, the Fengjiu Demon King immediately smiled and said, "The concubine is clumsy, I don't know what the name of the friend is?"
The old man of the demon clan reacted, bowed slightly and said: "In the Lower Demon Frog Wise, from the Demon Frog Swamp, a very remote and small place, the two Daoists are afraid that they have not heard of it." ”
The Demon Frog Sage looked modest, but there were a few exclamations around him.
The location of the Demon Frog Swamp is indeed very remote in the entire Southern Regions, but the Demon Frog Wise Man is not an unknown person, he is known as one of the strongest primordial infant cultivators below the Transformation Stage, and he is famous in the entire Southern Regions.
The Demon Clan's mission traveled to the Southern Regions, and naturally it had collected relevant information beforehand, so it was no stranger to the Demon Frog Wise Man.
"It turns out that Daoyou is the strongest Demon Frog Wise of the Demon Frog Clan, fortunately, I will be lucky!" The purple-eyed Lion King's eyes lit up and took the initiative to stretch out his palm.
"Fortunately, I will be lucky!" The Demon Frog Sage obviously intended to befriend the Purple-Eyed Lion King and the Fengjiu Demon King, and immediately stretched out his hand to shake the Purple-Eyed Lion King.
"Is the wise man also here for Master Xiao Man today?" asked the Fengjiu Demon King curiously.
The Demon Frog Sage nodded slightly: "Yes, I heard that Master Xiao Man appeared in the Nine Ghost Demon City, and the old man happened to be in the city, so he tried his best to ask someone to get an invitation." ”
"The wise man is also in the city these days?" the purple-eyed lion king looked surprised.
"Yes, the old man entered the city a month ago, and he met a little girl from the Heavenly Demon Clan, if the old man remembers correctly, the little girl seems to be called Feng Qingxue. The Demon Frog Wise Man said as if unintentionally.
The Fengjiu Demon King raised his eyebrows: "Does the wise man know the wind and snow of the Heavenly Demon Clan?"
The Demon Frog Sage smiled: "It's not an acquaintance, it's just a few encounters." Besides, although the old man is well-known in the Southern Regions, in front of the Heavenly Demon Clan, this false name is not worth mentioning at all. ”
"The wise man is too humble. The Fengjiu Demon King smiled lightly, and then turned his eyes to look at the door of the palace: "Speaking of Feng Qingxue Daoyou, I didn't expect Feng Qingxue Daoist to come." ”
Hearing this, the Demon Frog Wise Man's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately looked towards the door of the temple.
I saw Feng Qingxue dressed in full costume, as if he was a different person, the country was beautiful and fragrant, the moment he walked into the hall, he immediately became the most dazzling pearl in the entire hall, and his every move touched people's hearts, and it was a little unreal.
For a while, many people in the hall were stunned, and even Duan Chen was slightly distracted.
But he soon came to his senses.
"I didn't expect Master Lu Chen to come too. In front of everyone's eyes, Feng Qingxue walked straight in front of Duan Chen, with a familiar face.
"I didn't expect that Feng Qingxue Daoyou turned out to be a great beauty who captivated the country and the city. Duan Chen's eyes flashed slightly.
"Master is not strange, Qingxue is also to avoid some unnecessary trouble, so he does not dare to show his true face, not intentionally to deceive the master. Feng Qingxue bowed slightly and said, "No matter when, the master is Qingxue's friend." ”
Friend?
Duan Chen's heart moved, feeling a little inexplicable, but his face was silent, and he raised the wine glass in his hand to signal to the other party: "It's an honor to be able to make friends with Feng Daoyou." ”
The master was serious. Feng Qingxue also raised her wine glass in response, with a smile on her face.
The Demon Frog Sage had been talking and laughing with the Purple-Eyed Lion King and the Fengjiu Demon King, and when he saw this scene out of the corner of his eye, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
It was at this time that the Heavenly Spider Demon Emperor, who had been belated, appeared in the Heavenly Spider Hall accompanied by Meng Tianzhu and the White Pole Witch.
For a while, the eyes of the audience couldn't help but fall on the Heavenly Spider Demon Emperor.
You must know that the Heavenly Spider Demon Emperor has absolute authority in the Nine Shadows Demon City, and his status is second only to the Nine Shadows Demon Emperor, and at the moment, the Nine Shadows Demon Emperor is not in the city, and all the affairs in the Nine Shadows Demon City are naturally handled by the Heavenly Spider Demon Emperor.
"Today is really a good day, full of friends and distinguished guests, it is really a great event in my Nine Demon City. The Heavenly Spider Demon Emperor was full of smiles, he was burly and mighty, but a pair of demon pupils were as narrow as knives, revealing a trace of coldness and evil aura.
And as he spoke, a group of people walked in from outside the door of the main hall, led by two old men with no distinction of temperament.
It can be seen that the two old men, one is dressed in white wings, with crane hair and a childish face, and has an incomparably pure strong demonic aura, and the other is dressed in a white robe with a faint smile on his face, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Seeing the two of them coming, the surrounding crowd involuntarily moved out of the way.
"Uncle Xiao Man, the predecessor of the White Crane Demon Emperor. Seeing the white-robed old man and the feather-robed old man walking from outside the hall together, Meng Tianzhu, who was standing behind the Heavenly Spider Demon Emperor, couldn't help but salute the two of them.
The white-robed old man couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "It's only been a few decades in the blink of an eye, Amon has grown so big, come over and let my uncle take a good look." ”
Uncle Xiaoman, Amun, and the faces of the crowd of onlookers suddenly became quite strange.
After all, judging from his appearance alone, Xiao Man can be Meng Tianzhu's grandfather.
However, the age of a cultivator can never be judged by his appearance alone, and Xiao Man and the Heavenly Spider Demon Emperor are close friends in life and death, and their relationship is irreversible, so Meng Tianzhu called Xiao Man his uncle, but he was not wrong.
"Okay, today is a good day for Uncle Xiao Man and the White Crane Demon Emperor Daoyou to pick up the wind and wash the dust, if you want to talk about the old days, you can talk about it later. ”
The Heavenly Spider Demon Emperor raised his hand and patted Meng Tianzhu's shoulder, then turned to face everyone, and said loudly:
"Everyone, let me introduce to you, the one standing on my left is the eighth master of the Demon Doctor List, and the one standing on my right hand is the head of the Demon Clan Mission, the White Crane Demon Emperor!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall suddenly exploded.
Although he had known for a long time that Master Xiao Man was coming to the Nine Demon City, and he also knew that the person in charge of the Demon Clan's mission this time was the White Crane Demon Emperor, there were not many people present who had really seen Xiao Man and the White Crane Demon Emperor with their own eyes.
Of course, except for Duan Chen, although he had never seen Xiao Man, he was no stranger to the White Crane Demon Emperor, a mid-stage cultivator of the Transformation Gods.
In the past, the two had several encounters on the ancient battlefield, so he was deeply impressed, and he recognized the old man in the feather coat as the White Crane Demon Emperor at a glance.
However, he was still slightly surprised that the White Crane Demon Emperor and Xiao Man appeared in the banquet hall at the same time.
Although the identity of the White Crane Demon Emperor is not below Xiao Man, and even if you consider that the White Crane Demon Emperor represents the demon clan, its status is much higher than that of Xiao Man, but at this juncture, the two appeared together, and the hidden meaning behind it is intriguing.
Because everyone knows now that Xiao Man intends to compete for the position of the new owner of the Demon Doctor Pavilion, and the relationship between Xiao Man and the Heavenly Spider Demon Emperor is even more well-known in the Southern Regions.
Now that the White Crane Demon Emperor and the two of them are so close, it is inevitable that people will think a lot, wondering if the three of them have secretly reached some kind of agreement.
This includes Feng Qingxue, who was born in the Heavenly Demon Clan.
