502, fairy demon
With this guarantee, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty naturally rejoiced and hurriedly returned to report such great news, in order to calm the monarch's heart, and did not even mention the matter of taking the fairy princess back to Lingwu to settle down.
As for Cheng Youlu and the others, before the envoy left Blood Sea City, they had already shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
The Yan army pressed the border, and the raging waves and torrential rain could indeed keep thousands of troops and horses out of the city, but it was also true that the Shadow Killing Star needed the God of War to destroy the demons.
According to the report of the ear and eye spies earlier, because of the matter of the spirit fetus in the womb of the fairy princess, the two gods and demons have united with the Yan army, and now a total of 50,000 allied troops have been stationed around the Blood Sea City, just waiting for Shi Siming's army to arrive, and they will start a siege operation with it.
This kind of situation was already foreseen by everyone when the Sea of Blood decided to accept Yan Ling. But what puzzled Cheng Youlu and the others was that although the gods and demons alliance had surrounded the Blood Sea City, not only did they not show the shock in their hearts, but they also did not take any action against the Tang Dynasty envoys who came to inquire about the Blood Sea. Such an arrangement seems to be full of concerns about the side of the Blood Sea, and it seems to be contemptuous in every way, which makes everyone in the Blood Sea be vigilant in their hearts for a while, and always pay attention to whether there is a different kind of trick in the making.
In this regard, Wang Yueyao and Xiao Hanyi didn't care too much, and still prepared for the upcoming big battle as usual, and stepped up the practice of the formation. As for Ling Xiao, since the battle between Jiutian and Yuanyue that day, he was rarely angry, and reprimanded Jiutian speechless in front of everyone, bluntly saying that he was not serious, and almost wasted his skills, and damaged his own arm, so he was not majestic. Although Jiutian was not satisfied with this on the surface, he also knew that his overdraft of his skills to urge the double swords in order to make a name for himself was indeed reckless. After being reprimanded, he had to silently obey Ling Xiao's arrangement and patiently master the method of using the double knife, so as to avoid the situation of weak and prostration again. In this way, it also made the killers of the Shadow Hall re-evaluate this three-inch villain who is always hanging, and happily and convincingly crowned the word "young master" on Ling Xiao's head.
In such a stalemate, some more days passed.
On this day, before the Yan army arrived, the main gate of Blood Sea City had already fallen into a state of alert in advance.
Two visitors, one looked like an old man with a mackerel, and the other was dressed as a middle-aged Confucian student, highlighting their whereabouts from a position several miles outside the Blood Sea City, and slowly walking towards the Blood Sea City on foot. However, their steps seem to be slow, and every step under their feet can also make them cross a distance of several zhang, obviously they are all self-cultivation, beyond the limitations of the mortal world.
The soldiers defending the city of the Sea of Blood are now familiar with the means of flying through the clouds, but the identity of the person who came is unknown, and they do not dare to relax their efforts, so they have already issued a warning to the city. At the same time, the city gate approached, bending the bow and arrows to guard against the true intentions of the comers. However, the other party did not show any hostility, and when he walked about a foot outside the city, he stopped and looked up at the majestic city gate in front of him.
"It is worthy of being a place of grace from the Holy One, although it seems to be no different from the rest of the world, but it is also secretly crouching tiger, hidden dragon. The old man stroked his long beard lightly and sighed, "In this battle, I'm afraid that the gods and demons won't be able to get much benefit." ”
The middle-aged Confucian also felt the same way: "I heard that not only are there three masters sitting here, but the Absolute Shadow Hall has even been personally passed down by the Spirit Sage, although the gods and demons have the advantage in the number of soldiers, but against them, this victory is also unpredictable." ”
"If it weren't for that, the God Emperor and the Demon Venerable wouldn't have invited you and me to come and persuade me. ”
"It's not working, but it's a matter of trying. ”
"Yes. ”
After looking at each other and smiling bitterly, the two of them didn't care about the tension on the city tower, and stopped to rest, as if they were just visitors from afar visiting here, and what was about to happen to the battle situation and the general trend of the world had nothing to do with them.
And in less than half a pillar of incense when they stopped, a young figure had jumped down from the city wall, it was the king of the world, sentenced to life and death Xiao Han: "The immortal monarch and the demon emperor have arrived, and the sea of blood has not been far away, please forgive me." ”
Seeing that the king of people came forward to greet him in person, the two visitors returned the salute: "I came uninvited, disturbed you, and we should apologize." ”
Since their trip to the Beast Domain, Immortal Emperor Shulai and Demon Emperor Ji Luo have been staying in their respective territories, busy revitalizing their own clan. Now that he has reappeared, it is obvious why something is going on, although Xiao Hanyi treats them politely on the surface, he is actually secretly on guard. It's just that seeing that the two masters have not taken any action to turn their faces for the time being, they still put on a hospitable appearance: "Where, please also invite the two of you to enter the city with the cold." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a rumbling sound from the originally closed gate of Blood Sea City, and a white-haired figure had pushed open the two doors weighing a thousand catties, and walked straight to Ji Luo and bowed: "I've seen the patriarch in nine days." ”
When Jiutian was still young, it was De Jiluo who took her in and taught her a skill, which was a long time ago, and now she dares to face the God Emperor's sword soldiers. Although in Jiutian's heart, Ji Luo may not be as close to her as Xiao Pingsha, but she is also one of the few people who can let her let go of her defense, so there is this scene of opening the city gate alone and going out of the city to greet her. Ji Luo was also relieved when he saw his former people, and he smiled as if he had forgotten the purpose of today's arrival: "Tian'er, seeing that you are well, the old man's journey is also worth it." ”
The patriarch laughed. ”
Jiutian was also well-behaved in front of Ji Luo, and he had already walked to his side as in the past, picked up the emperor of the demon clan, and walked towards the city, how could he be the slightest guard against the other party's intentions?
Shulai and Jiluo arrived together, which can be regarded as a guest of the blood sea, and they are also the masters of the clan. Now that he is being ignored by Jiutian like this, although he understands the reason in his heart, he still inevitably shows a little embarrassment after all. However, Xiao Hanyi made a round in time next to him: "Xianjun, forgive me, my sister has always had this temper, please ...... Excuse. ”
"I heard earlier that Zhu Jiutian was unruly and unruly, and even the God Emperor and Demon Venerable didn't have the slightest room for maneuver in front of her. When I saw it today, it lived up to its name. Shu Lai came back to his senses, but he didn't seem to care too much, "Shu Lai has just arrived, and he asked the king to lead the way." ”
"Please. ”
In this way, under the guidance of a thousand thoughts and a sentence of life and death, he and the two visitors from afar finally officially stepped into the Blood Sea City. Those guards guarding the city saw that the two hall masters of the Absolute Shadow Hall treated Shulai and Ji Luo so politely, and they guessed what kind of distinguished guests they should be, and they didn't inquire at the moment, so they let the group enter the city.
In the Zhijie Palace, Wang Yueyao had already prepared tea here, waiting for the arrival of the Immortal Monarch and the Demon Emperor.
Shulai and Ji Luo already knew the identity of the Lord of Chaos, and when they saw Wang Yueyao waiting here, they each bowed their heads and took their seats. It's just that they are guests after all, and they don't dare to talk about some things at will, let alone say bluntly that they are entrusted by Yuanyue and Wuce to discuss matters this time. But even so, Wang Yueyao still guessed many details, and only after everyone was already seated did she smile and ask, "The two of you should have been entrusted by the God Emperor and the Demon Venerable to come for the matter of the spirit fetus, right?"
