"The Demon Palace's mechanism has been deactivated! No matter what we do, it will not self-destruct. "General Drexton said in a low voice.
As they moved forward, they saw a depression in the wall. It was a hidden pressure detector. If someone triggered it, it would activate a powerful self-destruct mode.
However, the indicator light of this pressure detector had already been extinguished, indicating that it was offline. The reason why it was discovered by everyone was because there was a small malfunction during the retraction process, and it was not completely retracted into the interlayer of the wall.
"Isn't this a good thing? Now that the mechanism is deactivated, we can move freely. "Someone said suspiciously.
Drexton's face was pale. "No, this is definitely not a good thing. To be able to deactivate the entire Demon Palace's mechanism requires a lot of authority."
"The command center said that two black figures were approaching quickly and entered the Demon Palace. They activated the barrier outside the Demon Palace, and combined with the fact that all the mechanisms are deactivated, I'm afraid we're in big trouble. The master of the Demon Palace, or the master's mount, should be back."
The atmosphere became heavy. The master of this Demon Palace was Flame Devil King Stanley. If he had already returned, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Not good, Nicai!" Dongfang He roared, his face pale.
If Flame Devil King Stanley had really returned to the Demon Palace, then Nicai was undoubtedly in the most danger. She was alone, and her left leg was injured.
* Swoosh! *
The group started to speed up and rushed toward the hall.
Not long after, the main door of the hall was right in front of them. The impatient Dongfang He and Jia Yuntian used their shoulders to push the door open, and then they gasped.
In the end, they were still a step too late. Stanley was already sitting on his high throne, looking down from above. His eyes were like the gaze of the God of Death, sharp and cold.
Nicai's face was pale as she stood beside Stanley. Seeing everyone rush into the main hall, Nicai revealed an anxious expression, but because she was afraid of the terrifying enemies beside her, she didn't dare to move half a step. It was as if she was tightly bound by an invisible chain, and everyone could see the word despair in her eyes.
"Let go of Nicai!"
Dongfang He disregarded everything and rushed forward. No one could hold him back. He released the Raging Flame Army and countless burning shadows surged out like a tide. In an instant, they formed a tenacious army of steel!
Rumble!
Stanley raised his left hand and burst out with mana. Dongfang He was sent flying, and the entire Raging Flame Legion was sent flying. Their bodies heavily crashed into the wall, and the Raging Flame Warriors summoned by Dongfang He instantly turned to ashes. It was like burning charcoal being crushed by a road roller, they had no power to fight back.
"Have you forgotten? I am the King of Crimson Flames." The corner of Stanley's mouth curled up and he said with a smile.
Dongfang He's Raging Flame Army was a variant of the fire superpower and the summoning superpower. Stanley was the Flame Devil King, so he also had the power of fire. So when Dongfang He saw Stanley, it was like a student meeting his teacher. His superpower was completely useless.
Drexton's face darkened. He took a few steps forward and stared at the man whose face was pale and eyes devoid of emotion.
In all fairness, Stanley was very handsome. He had a high nose bridge, deep eyes, and red skin all over his body. He seemed to be full of energy. If he were to be placed among humans, he would probably have nicknames like Handsome Man or Young Married Woman Killer.
Unfortunately, he was a demon. Regardless of whether it was a demon king or a demon dragon, they all had the ability to freely change their forms. They often walked the world in human form. Although he looked handsome, he had a heart of slaughter and destruction in his bones.
"Oh, it's you. You're not dead yet." Stanley said casually.
General Drexton was an old man who participated in the last war in the lower realm. At that time, he was only a young major general. Because of his outstanding achievements, he left some impression on the devils. Stanley remembered him, but he was not afraid at all.
After all, although Drexton's performance was outstanding, he was not a pillar of the human race. Those who used to be the best of the human race had already died in the war.
There was no such thing as fairness in the world. The devil race had a unique rebirth ability. They would bury demonic eggs in countless secret places. Once they died in battle, they would recuperate in the interlayers of space. Many years later, they would choose a demonic egg and be reborn. Unless humans could find and destroy the eggs of the 13 Devil Kings and their mounts, they would never be wiped off the face of the earth.
It seemed that Stanley had chosen to be reborn in the first layer of the lower realm. This choice must have been intentional. So why did he take the risk to be reborn in the human world?
Moreover, Stanley was not reborn just now. He had awakened on the same day as the second son of the Flame Spirit. After awakening, the second son of the Flame Spirit was left in the North Sea. Stanley and his mount, the Flame Spirit, had only returned to the palace today. Why did they leave? What did he do in secret?
Drexton gulped. There was no answer to these questions. Perhaps only Stanley knew the answer. In the current situation, the answer was not important. What was important was how to save Nicai from Stanley's demonic claws and let everyone escape unscathed.
As for the option of killing Stanley, Drexton knew very well that there was no such option. Before they set off, they did not assume that the Devil King would return. This was an unexpected situation. The situation was completely out of control. The command center must be in a terrible situation. He did not know if the city lord, Goethe, had a way to break the barrier and help him.
"Nicai is innocent. If you let her go, I will fight you fair and square!" General Drexton raised his head and said loudly.
Stanley let out a soft sigh, "Sigh, what do I have to say to make you understand? We may be devils, but we also have feelings. We are not animals that only know how to kill. Miss Nicai's peerless beauty made me fall in love at first sight. I can't wait to love her, so why would I hurt her? "
With that, Stanley pulled up Nicai's right hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed it.
In that instant, the infamous Devil King's eyes revealed a rare warmth. Nicai obviously did not believe that Stanley was a man with feelings. She trembled, but did not dare to pull her hand away, allowing Stanley to kiss her lightly.
"You damned bastard, you insulted my fiancée. I swear, I will kill you!" Dongfang He said.
He climbed up from the ground and raised his head. He was clearly the prince of Hidden Demon City, but at this moment, his face was ferocious, and there was a black aura in his eyes. It was really difficult to distinguish between the ferocious Dongfang He and the elegant Stanley, who was the legendary gentleman.
"Fiancée means that we are not married yet. I am willing to accept this challenge. One day, I will make Miss Nicai marry me willingly. I will not force her." Stanley said with a smile.
"You devil, only a ghost would be willing to marry you!" Dongfang He roared.
Stanley shook his head, "I am not a devil, I am just a devil. The biggest difference between you and the devils is our belief. You believe in those high and mighty fellows who live in the Upper Realm, but we believe in ourselves."
"We are both fighting for our beliefs, but it is hard to say who is the righteous one. Young man, you have been brainwashed by Hidden Demon City and your family for too long. You should learn to open your eyes and see the world. Use your brain to think. Don't accept other people's ideas just because they tell you that the devils are evil."
"Whether it is humans or devils, we all need to learn to think independently. Miss Nicai, am I right?"
This was really a shocking conversation. The legendary Thirteen Demon Kings had finally appeared, but the one in front of them was a handsome middle-aged man with good manners. If he didn't have the identity of a demon, he should be very popular with the girls, right? It was even possible that with his philosophical words, he would become a life coach for many boys.
"Humans and devils will never reconcile. If you are not willing to let Nicai go, why don't you do it!?" Drexton roared.
A hint of sadness appeared in Stanley's eyes. "I'm waiting for a friend. Unfortunately, his son has passed away. We're all very sad, and he's decided to avenge his son. Although I know that hatred can't make up for the loss of a beloved son, I've decided to support him because he's my best friend."
Jia Yuntian was stunned, "You mean the Flame Spirit?"
"Yes." Stanley nodded.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Everyone knew that the Flame Spirit was Stanley's mount, but this Great Demon King actually called his mount a friend? And support him?
Other than General Drexton, it was the first time for the young people present to see a Devil King. The existence of a Devil King completely subverted their worldview. It was completely different from what they had learned since they were young.
Indeed, Stanley had a naturally cold temperament, but his actions and words undoubtedly showed that he was well-mannered. This was too strange. Were all the Thirteen Devil Kings like this?
Clatter!
Suddenly, tears rolled down from the corners of Stanley's eyes. He had an incredulous look on his face as he looked at the collapsed door. The veins on his temples twitched rapidly as if he couldn't control himself due to the sudden sorrow that befell him.
"Why?" Stanley murmured to himself, "He was just a sad man who lost his son. Why did you kill him …"
Everyone was confused. Who killed who?
Could it be …
Was the Flame Spirit dead?
Soon, the answer was revealed.
Two figures rushed in from outside the door. It was Xia Fan who was holding Fo You's hand. They came at a speed of more than ten thousand meters per second, accompanied by a strong gust of wind and the smell of burnt skin.
Plop!
A huge black head was thrown to the ground. Its big eyes were wide open as if it had died with a grievance. Dragon blood rolled around the head, dyeing the golden hall red.
It was the head of the Flame Spirit …
He was killed by Xia Fan and Fo You!
General Drexton had almost forgotten that there were two of them in his team before he saw the two burned young men. They were left at the bottom of the Devil Palace to investigate the reason why the reactor restarted.
But now, although they were pitch-black and emitted a burnt smell, they had smiles on their faces as they carried the head of the giant dragon flame soul!
What an unbelievable result!
The air froze.
A war was about to break out.
Because Xia Fan and Fo You killed Stanley's mount and the son of his mount. They even brought the Flame Spirit's head and almost threw it at Stanley's face!
