Two days later, Linlong and Deng Lai were summoned to the city's main hall.
Generally speaking, Linlong was not qualified to enter the main hall unless it was something special like the last time. This time, however, Linlong was naturally puzzled when he heard that it was the city lord who called him.
"Hall Master Deng, what's the matter?" Linlong could not help but ask on the way.
"I don't know." Deng Lai shook his head and said, "But don't worry. Since the city lord sent Elder Colin to the dungeon, he's naturally on our side. I guess he wants to reward you for what happened last time."
"Is that so?" Linlong nodded.
However, he felt that this was unlikely because if there really was a reward, it would have been given long ago. There was no need to make it so special.
After a short conversation, the two walked into the city's main hall.
After entering the main hall, Linlong found that there were many elders in addition to the city lord. However, he soon frowned because he noticed a few demons from outside Shading City.
One of these demons was Li Xi, who had a conflict with him.
What surprised him the most was that Li Xi was actually sitting on the right side of the city lord. It was surprising that a mere hall master would sit in such a position.
Deng Lai was also surprised and surprised. In fact, it was not just them. The other demons from Shading City were also surprised.
"Come, sit." The city lord gestured for Deng Lai and Linlong to sit down.
After seeing Deng Lai and Linlong sit down, the city lord said, "Almost everyone is here. I'll tell you the reason I called everyone here this time."
After a short pause, he continued, "In recent days, a group of demons from the Ming Region have been plundering and killing our people near the Yannan Mountain Range, causing us great losses. When the Demon King found out about this, he was extremely furious and personally sent people from Nanchuan City to encircle these demons from the Ming Region. This time, the one leading the team from Nanchuan City is the Hall Master Li Xi that everyone is familiar with."
Upon hearing this, the Demon Clan members of Shading City were stunned. Although Li Xi was a popular person in Nanchuan City, he was only a Martial Overlord Realm martial artist. A Martial Overlord Realm martial artist was personally leading a team with Martial King Realm martial artists as his subordinates. One could imagine how much the Demon King valued him.
Hearing the City Lord's words, Li Xi immediately stood up and said with a smile, "This time, thanks to the Demon King's concern, I can personally lead the team …"
At this point, his expression suddenly changed and he said coldly, "I will not disappoint the Monster King's expectations! We must kill all the demons in the Ming Domain! "
Then, he smiled and said, "However, due to my age, I believe some people won't believe me."
As he spoke, he took out a declaration from his body and displayed it in front of the demons.
Lin Long looked at the declaration and saw that it was written with the impassioned words of the Demon King killing the enemy. At the bottom, there was a seal.
At first, the seal seemed very simple, but at a second glance, it was as if an eagle was about to spread its wings and fly out.
Linlong knew that this seal definitely contained a bit of the Demon Monarch's soul. Otherwise, it wouldn't have such an effect.
In other words, this was really written by the Demon Sovereign.
"We will definitely listen to Hall Master Li Xi's instructions and kill those demons!"
Seeing this declaration, the demons present hurriedly said so.
However, Li Xi smiled and said, "Actually, the demons we are going to deal with this time are not strong. The people I brought from Nanchuan City are more than enough to deal with them. The reason why I came here to disturb everyone is to find someone familiar with the Yannan Mountain Range as a guide. After all, some of you are very familiar with the Yannan Mountain Range."
"If that's the case, then I suggest that Hall Master Li Xi look for Elder Bu …" an elder immediately suggested.
However, Li Xi waved his hand and said, "There's no need to trouble Elder Bu. I will look for Hall Master Deng Lai. After all, I am more familiar with Hall Master Deng Lai and have frequent dealings with him."
Seeing that Li Xi directly mentioned Deng Lai, the demons present felt that something was wrong. Two days ago, the news of Lin Long injuring Dong Si had already spread throughout Sand City. It could be said that everyone knew that Li Xi had a conflict with Deng Lai.
Now that Li Xi mentioned Deng Lai and Lin Long was called to the scene, how could they not see that Li Xi was specifically targeting Deng Lai and Lin Long?
However, Li Xi's current status was different. How could they dare to voice any objections?
"Deng Lai, are you willing to go with Hall Master Li Xi?" the city lord asked Deng Lai.
"Of course I'm willing," Deng Lai immediately replied.
"Then I'll have to trouble Hall Master Deng," Li Xi said with a smile.
After a slight pause, he pointed at Lin Long and said, "Oh, that's right. Hall Master Deng Lai, when you go, don't forget about this subordinate of yours. This subordinate of yours performed very well in the matter of taking down Hall Master Luo. I think we will need him."
"Hall Master Li Xi, don't worry. I will definitely go," Lin Long said before Deng Lai could reply.
"That's good." Li Xi nodded. Right now, there was an obvious pleased expression on his face.
"Alright, there's nothing else now. All of you can go back first. Tomorrow morning, we will gather again and head to the Yannan Mountain Range together," Li Xi said.
After returning to their branch hall, Deng Lai told the other demons about this matter. All of them were shocked and angry.
They were shocked that Li Xi, who was so weak, was valued by the Demon King. They were angry that Li Xi did this with ill intentions.
"Hall Master, Li Xi has the advantage in numbers. Moreover, he is the commander. When the time comes, even if those people directly surround us, we will not be able to say anything."
All of them were worried.
"Hall Master, why don't we just leave the Nanchuan Region? The world is so big, where can't we go?" One of the demons even said such a thing.
"Don't say such words. If it gets out, all of us will be in trouble." Deng Lai's expression changed, and he quickly stopped them.
"Hall Master, Ah Qiao's words are a little overboard, but we have to think of a way to deal with it. When the time comes, we cannot let Li Xi bully us," another demon said.
"Yes, Hall Master." The other demons nodded.
Immediately, all the demons focused their attention on Deng Lai, waiting to see how he would decide.
"When the time comes, let's not split up. I don't think he will dare to do anything to us. After all, if the news of him going against us were to spread, he will end up like Elder Colin even if he is chosen by the Demon King." How could Deng Lai have any other ideas?
Previously, the demons said those words out of anger. In the end, they could only listen to Deng Lai's words.
Soon, it was the next morning. Early in the morning, Deng Lai gathered his subordinates and met up with the demons led by Li Xi. Then, they headed to the Yannan Mountain Range together.
