The tall palace was extremely luxurious. The bright red carpet on the ground was made from the skin of an unknown demonic beast. It was extremely soft. The walls on both sides were carved with all sorts of flowers and birds. It was unknown whose craftsmanship was so exquisite that they were extremely lifelike.
Following the bright red carpet and the carvings on both sides, they walked forward. They passed by many magnificent palaces but did not see a single person.
However, it was not completely empty. After passing through the small garden and arriving at the back hall, they could hear people talking.
"King, have you recovered?" A pleasant female voice sounded.
"That's right. After eighty years of seclusion, I've finally recovered." A deep male voice said.
"That's great!" The woman said again. However, there was no hint of happiness in her voice.
Even so, the man was already very happy. Because this was the first time she said such words. No matter what, there was progress!
People who were immersed in love were always very humble. They would be wild with joy for the other party's slight change. Little did they know that it might just be because the other party was in a good mood today.
Everyone was like this. The Demon King was no exception. Back then, he insisted on marrying Lu Junrou. However, that thing was cut off. He had to cultivate in seclusion for eighty years before it fully grew.
As a matter of fact, the moment he came out of seclusion, he came to see a beauty. After so many years, she was still so beautiful! Although the servant beside her was not bad, compared to her … they paled in comparison.
The Demon King had not seen Lu Junrou for eighty years. Looking at her, he was a little infatuated. He wanted to make up for the eighty years of not seeing her.
However, Lu Junrou opened her mouth and said, "King, I heard that the absolute barrier was removed by the immortals ten years ago. Now, the north and south are open. We can reach in a month …"
The Demon King said, "I already know this. Once the passage is stable, I will ask the higher-ups whether to attack the south. This is not up to me."
The Demon King thought that Lu Junrou wanted to persuade him not to invade Cang Nan. However, that was not the case. Lu Junrou did not care about this. She also knew that the Demon King could not decide himself. Her words were as good as not saying anything.
Lu Junrou said, "No, I just want to go to the south to take a look … King, don't worry. I will definitely come back."
"Ah?" The Demon King did not expect Lu Junrou to want to go to Cang Nan. This question was a little sudden, and the Demon King didn't know how to answer it.
Just as the Demon King was in a daze, a guard suddenly rushed in from outside. It was the captain of the Demon King's Guard. This captain was not a standard Holy Devil Polo. He had a pair of black wings on his back.
"King, King, bad news." The team leader ran in in a panic and shouted.
The Demon King was quite displeased at being disturbed and said angrily, "What are you panicking for?"
The guard captain hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the passageway suddenly stabilized. However, the other side sent a message saying that everyone here is to wait for orders, not to speak or move, and to wait for the other side to make a decision. "
The Demon King asked curiously, "What nonsense? What do you mean? Why did they give such a strange order?"
The guard captain said, "That's why I can't say for sure. I feel that something big is going to happen, and it's definitely nothing good!"
The Demon King frowned, feeling an ominous premonition. He stood up and suddenly thought of Lu Junrou's question. He turned around and said, "When the arrangements here are complete, I will transform into human form and accompany you on a tour of Cang Nan."
After saying that, the Demon King strode out.
After he left, Lu Junrou frowned and said, "Chenwan, the Demon King said he wants to go with us. What should we do? Then we won't be able to find that kid. "
Lu Junrou's maid was the Sound Painting Devil Sect's Li Chenwan. Coincidentally, she didn't have the ability to give birth, so she wasn't defiled by the devils and was sent to be Lu Junrou's maid. The two of them had been relying on each other for a long time, but they didn't expect that they would talk about someone they knew!
Ye Kong!
It didn't matter that Li Chenwan had someone she liked, but Big Sister Lu Junrou had given most of her heart to Ye Kong. This person was also very strange. Lu Junrou had only seen Ye once, but she couldn't help but miss him every day. However, she didn't feel anything when she saw the Demon King every day.
When the two of them heard about the North-South Thoroughfare, they discussed going to Cang Nan to inquire about Ye. That was why they made a request to the Demon King just now.
Li Chenwan also frowned, but then she smiled and said, "That Ye kid was only at Foundation Establishment back then. At most, he'll become a Yuanying old monster in 80 years. That's already not bad. I reckon he's still strolling around Yunyao, so he won't meet him."
Lu Junrou's expression turned bitter and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't go."
"Big Sister Lu, you're really infatuated." Li Chenwan chuckled and said, "But that kid is really quite attractive. He's very courageous and very good at talking. Other than his bad temper and low cultivation, he doesn't have any flaws."
Lu Junrou's delicate face blushed and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense. I want to see him because I want to discuss our Shadow Clan's future development plan with him. This matter concerns the future and descendants of us shadow people. It's not as unbearable as you say. "
Li Chenwan chuckled and said, "I know, I know. You're the one who said that finding him concerns your descendants."
"What do you mean?" Lu Junrou flew into a rage out of humiliation and tangled with Li Chenwan. Who would have thought that the dignified and magnanimous former female clan leader would have such a feminine side.
While they were arguing, the Demon King's side was very quiet.
The passageway to the Demon World was not far from this Demon World city. There was a huge stone castle called the breeding base, and the passageway was inside.
This place was the most important and most heavily guarded place for the Demon Dwellers. Not only was there a passageway leading to the Demon Realm, there were also countless prisons. Countless human women were locked up in the cages to give birth to little Demon Dwellers for the Demon Dwellers. Of course, there was also the Ascension Pond where Yunyao cultivators ascended.
When the Demon King arrived, he directly entered the large room at the center of the castle. This was a large warehouse filled with goods that were prepared to be transported to the Demon Realm.
Very soon, the Demon King saw the person from the Demon Realm. He was a standard Holy Devil Polo, not even at the Asura Realm.
The Demon King hurriedly went forward and asked, "Senior, what exactly is going on?"
At this moment, Ye Kong was in a battle of wits and courage with the Sword Demon God. Thus, the person who sent the message did not know how the situation would develop in the future. He only said, "All units are on standby. Killing humans is forbidden. Speaking or moving is forbidden. Entering the transmission passage is forbidden. Wait for the latest orders from the Demon Realm!"
Actually, they were just waiting for Ye Kong to die. If Ye Kong died, everything would go on as usual. If Ye Kong didn't die, everything would go according to Ye Kong's plan. However, the latest news had already arrived. Ye Kong was already negotiating with the Sword Demon God.
The Demon King nodded and handed over a storage bag filled with Cangbei's specialties. He asked in a low voice, "What exactly is going on? Please make an exception. I won't spread the news."
The person looked at the storage bag and said in a low voice, "According to the new Bright Lord's request, all clansmen here are preparing to retreat …"
The Demon King turned pale with fright. "Ah!"
