Devil Emperor City was the residence of the previous generations of Devil Emperors and Devil Kings. It had long been fortified like an iron bucket, and there were so many restrictions that even true immortals would not be able to leave within a short period of time.
As long as the other party was still in the city, even if Gu Yunqiu came personally, he wouldn't be able to leave quietly!
"Zi Yi, Qing Yue, Hong Feng, Hei Yao, Bai Yu, heed my command!"
Clasping his hands behind his back, the Sky Fall Demon Emperor's eyes flashed like lightning. "I'll give you one hour to capture him and bring him to me. Otherwise, kill yourself to atone for your crimes!"
"Yes!" Knowing that Zhang Xuan was truly infuriated, the five Demon Kings dared not say a single word. They immediately flew forward, and in an instant, their Spiritual Perception shrouded the entire Royal City.
"Everyone, listen to my orders. Circulate your demonic arts at the same time and display your demonic energy. Furthermore, stay where you are. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to leave. Violators will be killed without mercy!"
A cold voice resounded.
Needless to say, the one who had snuck in was a human. As long as a giant demon didn't revert to its true form, it would be impossible to detect its presence even if one used their Spiritual Perception. There was only one way to determine the identity of the intruder quickly, and that was to … drive a demonic art!
Without Demonic Qi, he was a human!
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Demon Imperial City was filled with Demonic Qi. As the leader of the five The Great Demon, the Purple Wing Demon King was the strongest. He immediately realized that something was wrong. The pair of purple wings on his back flashed gently and he appeared at the edge of the city wall in a flash. He stared coldly at an old Giant Demon who was setting up a fruit stall.
"Demon Soldier Sa Ling Man greets Lord Demon King …"
The old man trembled as he bowed and cupped his fists. "I fought with humans and was poisoned by a poison master. Does Lord Demon King want fruits? They were all stolen from humans. What do you want to eat? I'll wrap it up for you! "
The Purple Wing Demon King harrumphed coldly. "Like I said, if you don't circulate your demonic arts and demonic aura, you'll die …"
Before he could finish his words, the big hand slammed down.
Dense demonic aura enveloped the surroundings, causing the surrounding space to distort. Sa Lingman was immediately trapped in the middle. In the next moment, the demonic aura condensed into a sword and pierced straight at him.
"You didn't even listen to my explanation before making a move. How boring …"
Sa Lingman's figure flashed and disappeared. In the blink of an eye, he appeared several hundred meters away. As he fled, he complained. His voice was exactly the same as the one that appeared in the Demon Emperor Palace.
"Did you really think that you could escape after being spotted by me?"
The Purple Wing Demon King was not in a hurry. With a single step, the distance of several hundred meters seemed to have disappeared. The fleeing old man immediately saw a gigantic palm descending from the sky.
Knowing that it was impossible to dodge, his body suddenly swelled up.
"Don't touch me. If you want it, I'll give it to you …"
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, Sa Lingman exploded. Ink essence surged, creating a huge crater in the ground. More than a hundred Giant Demons within a ten-meter radius were killed on the spot.
"Self-destruct? Another puppet? "
With a livid face, the Purple Wing Demon King was on the verge of exploding.
The person who had infiltrated Demon Emperor City might not have been as powerful as him, but the other party had many tricks up his sleeves. He had long guessed that Zhang Xuan would discover this' Sa Lingman ', and without any hesitation, he self-detonated on the spot!
He was a ruthless character!
Infuriated, Zhang Xuan was just about to continue his search when he suddenly heard another explosion in the distance. At the same time, a black silhouette dashed into the distance.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Knowing that the other party's true body had been discovered by the other Demon Kings, the Purple Wing Demon King dared not stop. Flapping his wings, he rushed forward.
Even though His Majesty did not mention the reward for capturing the other party, there was no doubt that he would be favored by the other party. How could he, Purple Wing Demon King, allow others to seize this opportunity?
While he was chasing after the black silhouette, among the hundred or so Giant Demons who had been killed by the explosion, one of the 'corpses' suddenly stood up.
"I told you that the Giant Demons are fools, but my master doesn't believe me. Hehe, I'll have a good talk with him when I get back!"
This' corpse 'was actually a young lady. She appeared to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was extremely beautiful. When she smiled, her eyes curved into crescent moons.
If everyone in the city were to drive their demonic arts simultaneously, those without demonic energy would be humans … This should have been an unsolvable plan, but she had managed to unravel it easily.
First, she had created a fake 'Sa Lingman' to draw the attention of the Demon Kings. Then, she had killed a few of them before disguising herself as one of them. Naturally, a corpse would not have demonic energy, so no matter how powerful one's Spiritual Perception was, it would be impossible for one to examine a 'corpse' carefully.
Then, she had created a black silhouette and had the Demon Kings chase after it …
She did have many tricks up her sleeves.
If Gu Yunqiu was here, he would have surely recognized her. She was none other than his precious disciple, Gu Ling'er!
Not only did this fellow infiltrate the Demon Emperor City, which was located at the center of the Giant Demon Tribe, she had even fooled the Demon Emperor and the Demon Kings … She sure was gutsy!
Knowing that no one had noticed her, Gu Ling'er turned around and headed straight for the city gates.
The entire Royal City had been sealed, but that didn't mean that she couldn't escape. The reason why 'Sa Lingman' had self-detonated wasn't just to kill a bunch of Giant Demons and conceal her identity. More importantly … she had used a unique artifact to corrode a small hole in the seal!
The hole was only the size of a fist. Under normal circumstances, a human cultivator wouldn't be able to squeeze through it. However, Gu Ling 'er was different. Her cultivation was high, and she had many means to protect herself. Putting aside the fact that it was only the size of a fist, even if it was two sizes smaller, she would still be able to escape easily.
Her body, which wasn't fat in the first place, immediately shrank by a few sizes. She was just about to jump through the hole to escape when a calm voice sounded behind her.
"You have quite a few tricks up your sleeves, and you sure are smart. However, it's a pity that His Majesty's foresight is incredible.
Gu Ling'er quickly turned around and saw Demon King Purple Wing and Demon King Qing Yue standing quietly behind her with cold sneers on their lips.
How could a person who had fought against humans for ten thousand years and cultivated to the level of a Demon King be a fool? The young lady had many tricks up her sleeves, and her thoughts were brilliant. However, she still couldn't fool them.
Gu Ling'er's eyes shone with admiration as she muttered, "As expected of a Demon King. How formidable! You actually managed to notice me so quickly. From today onward, I'll voluntarily join the Giant Demon Tribe and cultivate demonic arts …"
Before she could finish her words, the area where the two Demon Kings were standing suddenly exploded.
Purple Wing and Qing Yue hurriedly retreated. However, before they could get far, they realized that something was amiss.
The explosion didn't seem to be too powerful. There was only some thick smoke that made it difficult for them to see the direction and location of the explosion.
"I told you that you were dumb, but you didn't believe me. Hehe, I'll be leaving first …"
With a light chuckle, Gu Ling'er dived into the hole and left the Demon Imperial City.
However, before the smile on her face could fade away, she suddenly came to a halt. The Great Demon Obsidian, Bai Yu, and Red Maple were standing in front of her. They had sealed the surrounding space and were quietly waiting for her to enter.
In other words, even though she had escaped from the Demon Imperial City, she had fallen into the trap that the other party had prepared for her.
"It's one thing for you to cause a ruckus in the city, but why did you have to go to the Demon Emperor's Palace to wreak havoc? After committing such a grave offense, if we were to allow you to escape, what would become of our reputation?"
Demon King Purple Wing stepped forward and sneered coldly.
Five Demon Kings at the peak of the Pseudo Immortal realm had made a move at the same time. Furthermore, the Demon Emperor had even given the order personally. If they were to allow a single human to escape, they would no longer be worthy of being feared by the humans!
"Actually … I'm the one in the passageway. I've already communicated with the experts of the Celestial Realm and obtained more than one strand of Immortal Energy … As long as you let me go, I'll give it to you as a gift!"
Gu Ling'er looked at Demon King Purple Wing solemnly. "We're all at the peak of the Pseudo Immortal realm, so why is he the Demon Emperor? As long as I can break through, the Demon Emperor will be nothing! "
"Stop wasting your breath here!"
Demon King Purple Wing was unmoved. He interrupted her words and said, "Lock her up!"
"Yes!"
The remaining four Demon Kings nodded in unison and made their move.
In an instant, the air seemed to have solidified. Five threads formed from Demonic Energy gathered around the girl, attempting to bind her completely.
"Gu Yunqiu, Shen Moping, Feng Zhangxi, Fan Ruoting … What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for me to be captured?"
Gu Ling 'er was not flustered at all. Instead, she shouted loudly.
The people she was shouting at were the Hall Masters of the Dry Origin Alliance. They were famous figures of the human race.
Upon hearing her words, Demon King Purple Wing and the others' movements slowed down.
At this moment, another jade token appeared in the girl's hand. It was about to explode.
Whoosh!
Just as it was about to explode, a powerful force swept out and enveloped the jade token. Following that, the girl's body was completely restrained, and she could no longer move.
"I advise you not to use such methods!"
It was Demon King Purple Wing.
After being tricked consecutively, he already had a judgment. He knew that this girl was definitely lying.
Demon King Qing Yue and the others, who had fallen into the trap, also reacted at this moment. They were all about to explode from anger.
The battle between the human race and the giant demon race had not yet reached the time for the final battle. How could Gu Yunqiu and the others take the risk to come here?
They had been worried that the other party might have accomplices and had been careful in advance. In the end, they had been tricked because of this!
"How do you know that no one will come to help me?"
Being restrained, Gu Ling 'er no longer had the calmness from before. A trace of anxiety appeared in her eyes.
She had secretly come to Demon Imperial City many times and obtained a lot of information. She had even killed some demons. It was because of this that she had made great contributions in the Dry Origin Alliance.
She had thought that she could take advantage of the chaos this time to investigate the matter of the Immortal Qi and find out if the giant demon race could produce a true immortal. She had never dreamed that these Demon Kings would be so terrifying when they worked together.
She had many tricks up her sleeves, but it was impossible for her to escape in a short period of time.
"This is Demon Imperial City. If a human cultivator really dares to come to your aid and save you from the hands of The Great Demon … I'll chop off my head and let you kick it around like a ball!"
The Purple Wing Demon King sneered coldly.
With the five of The Great Demon working together, they dared to fight against the eight hall masters of the Dry Origin Alliance. To save someone from their hands … Unless the human race was willing to abandon Decimating Abyss City!
Otherwise, it was impossible!
"You're the one who said it … I'll get someone to save me right now …"
Gu Ling 'er's mind spun rapidly as she tried to think of a way to escape.
Her body was currently trapped, and she was unable to break free. Once she was captured and brought to the Demon Emperor Palace, it would be a small matter if she was killed. However, if she used her to threaten her teacher, she would really be punished.
"Then get someone to come over. We'll capture as many as they come! Hahaha … "
Before the Purple Wing Demon King could finish his words, his eyes suddenly widened, and he spat out a word, "Ga!"
Everyone also sensed that something was amiss. Raising their heads, they saw a silhouette falling from the sky.
Before this person, the seal formed by the five of them was easily torn apart as though it was a piece of paper.
Padah!
The silhouette landed on the head of the Purple Wing Demon King. Before the strongest Demon King of the Demon Emperor Palace could even react, his head was already smashed into his stomach. His body shattered, and even his soul was unable to escape in time.
A Pseudo Immortal realm expert, The Great Demon of the Giant Demon Tribe, was actually smashed to death by a person who fell from the sky!
In an instant, it was abnormally quiet. Everyone was stupefied.
Where did this person fall from? How could he possess such might?
Putting aside pinnacle Spirit artifacts, even if an Immortal artifact were to fall on his head, he would still be able to withstand it. For him to be smashed to death on the spot was simply unimaginable.
"Run!"
Seeing that the Demon King had fallen and the power that had trapped her had been torn apart, Gu Ling'er knew that this was the perfect opportunity for her to escape. Thus, she stomped her foot on the ground and leaped forward, vanishing before everyone's eyes.
She had no idea who the person who had saved her was, but to be able to smash the Purple Wing Demon King to death, he was definitely not weak. Even if he was not a match for the remaining four The Great Demon Kings, it should not be too difficult for her to escape.
The most important thing for her to do now was to take care of herself so that she would not let down the other party.
Having been on the battlefield for so many years, she had already become a decisive person.
In the blink of an eye, she had fled several thousand li away. Seeing that the remaining four Great Demon Kings did not pursue her, Gu Ling 'er heaved a sigh of relief.
Who in the world was it?
She knew all of the experts in the Dry Origin Alliance, but she had never heard of such a formidable expert before!
"This won't do. I have to return to take a look …"
Knowing that she would be able to return to Decimating Abyss City if she continued fleeing, Gu Ling 'er hesitated for a moment before deciding to turn back.
She did not know who the person who had saved her was, and she did not know whether he was in any danger. Her conscience could not be at ease if she were to flee just like that!
With a jolt of her body, she morphed into the appearance of a giant demon and flew back silently.
…
In front of Royal City, seeing the strongest of them, the Purple Wing Demon King, the Black Brilliance Demon King, the White Imperial Demon King, and the Red Maple Demon King, the four Pseudo Immortal realm experts, were so frightened that their faces paled. They could not be bothered to chase after Gu Ling 'er anymore. Instead, they looked at the' corpse 'lying not too far away warily.
If the other party could kill the Purple Wing Demon King, the other party could kill them as well. What if the other party was not a 'corpse' but a disguise by the expert so as to lure them out one by one?
The safest way was for the four of them to work together.
"White Imperial Demon King, you … go over and take a look at what's going on!"
After waiting for several dozen breaths, the 'expert' remained motionless, and the Green Mountain Demon King instructed.
"Yes!"
Of the five The Great Demon Kings, White Imperial Demon King was the weakest. Even though he was unwilling to give up, he still gritted his teeth and walked over. After taking a closer look, a bizarre expression surfaced on his face as he muttered, "H-he's still alive. Furthermore … he seems to be sleeping!"
