Many people were concerned about the outcome of the battle between Lan Ling and the Black Demon King, such as the Young Rakshasa King, Meng Tuoluo, Elder Mokan, the Netherworld Prince, and even the Rakshasa King.
However, there was only one person whose life was at stake, and that was the Misfortune Grotto!
When the news of Lan Ling's complete victory and the annihilation of the Heavenly Demon King's army spread, Elder Mokan vomited blood, and Meng Tuoluo almost fainted. Although their reactions were very intense, the damage to their interests was very indirect.
Only the Misfortune Grotto's life was at stake!
Although he had always felt that Lan Ling was doomed, he had been staying in Rakshasa City since the start of the battle so that he could get the news as soon as possible.
Originally, the Misfortune Grotto had no position in the battle for the crown prince position. Deep in his heart, he also felt that the Young Rakshasa King was the best successor to the throne. However, because of Lan Ling, he had no choice but to stand on the Netherworld Prince's side.
At the banquet that day, the Misfortune Grotto had used extremely humiliating words to attack Lan Ling in order to make his position clear.
After that, he lived in seclusion, because he was after all one of the leaders of the martial arts, and he had to maintain his aloof attitude.
However, after hearing the news of Lan Ling's complete victory and the annihilation of the Heavenly Demon King's army.
All his aloof attitude and the grandmaster temperament that he had cultivated for decades had disappeared without a trace.
Like everyone else, the first thing he felt was that it was impossible!
How could it be possible? Even if the sun rose in the west, it would still be impossible.
After confirming this fact, it was followed by endless fear.
He knew that whether it was Elder Mokan or the Netherworld Prince, the impact was indirect.
As for the Misfortune Grotto, it was the most direct, as it was directly related to his life.
Even an idiot would know that after Lan Ling annihilated the Heavenly Demon King, the first thing he did after returning to the Fiery Demon Flag was to destroy the Misfortune Grotto.
With Lan Ling's vengeful character, the Misfortune Grotto would definitely die.
Having been in charge of the Misfortune Grotto for more than ten years, the Misfortune Grotto felt that he was already a grandmaster. He was completely unmoved, and his expression would not change even if a huge mountain collapsed in front of him.
However, when the real crisis came, he realized that his only reaction was to not want to die.
Therefore, he immediately rushed to the Netherworld Prince's Mansion to ask for help.
At this point in time, the only person who could save him was the Netherworld Prince.
However, he did not see the Prince of the Netherworld.
How could the Prince of the Netherworld show himself at this time? Lan Ling's great victory was too strange. How could the Netherworld Prince possibly touch Lan Ling for the sake of a mere Cave Master of Misfortune when he didn't even know the details of this army of one million skeletons?
Not to mention the Prince of the Underworld, even the Devil King didn't want to provoke Lan Ling at this moment.
Lan Ling was too crazy.
Just because Prince Gu Tu wanted to steal his wife, he killed millions of people from the Demonic Flag and exterminated the thousand-year Demonic Clan.
Whether it was domineering or vengeful, this kind of person was too terrifying.
The Misfortune Grotto Master knelt outside the Netherworld Prince's residence for two days and two nights, but he did not manage to see the Netherworld Prince.
Then, he went to the Elder Mo Kan's residence and knelt outside for a day and a night, but he still did not see the Elder Mo Kan.
In desperation, he went to the Young Devil King's residence and knelt outside for a day and a night, but he still did not see the Young Devil King.
However, he did see Princess Sha Yan.
At that time, Princess Sha Yan was leading a team of ten thousand people, carrying countless gold and silver artifacts back to the territory of the Flame Demon Flag.
At that time, the Cave Master desperately kowtowed to ask for help, and his head was broken.
However, Princess Sha Yan only said coldly, "Wait for your death!"
At this point, the Cave Master returned to the Cave Master of Misfortune with a heart full of despair.
…
In order to face the biggest crisis in history, all the members of the Cave Master of Misfortune who were traveling and cultivating outside returned.
After a closed-door meeting for a day and a night …
The Cave Master of Misfortune prepared two plans. The first plan was to send messengers to other martial arts forces to ask for help while Lan Ling's army had not returned to the Flame Demon Flag. Even the forces of the Five Venerable Realm were not left behind.
The second plan was to use the strategy of surrender if there was no support.
The current Cave Master of Misfortune was removed and went to the Flame Demon City to beg for forgiveness. They would use his life to exchange for the safety of the Cave Master of Misfortune and push all the blame onto him.
A few days and nights passed.
The hundreds of messengers that were sent out all returned, and the result was the same.
In the entire Rakshasa territory, twenty-three martial arts forces all rejected the Cave Master of Misfortune's request for help.
The forces of the Five Venerable Realm could not even enter the mountain gate.
This result was not surprising. The Celestial Demon Lord was so powerful, but the entire army was annihilated. This was a huge blow to the Rakshasa Race's territory. Who would dare to become enemies with Lan Ling for a mere Cave of Adversity? Were they tired of living?
Therefore, there was no other choice. They could only sacrifice the Cave Master of Misfortune to protect the entire Cave Master of Misfortune.
It was also at this moment that the voice of the Flame Demon Flag messenger came from outside. "Where is the Cave Master of Misfortune? Come out and receive my lord's decree!"
This voice was very young and also very familiar.
The eldest son of the former Black Demon Flag Master was originally named Naiwu, but now he had changed his name to Hei Naiwu.
According to etiquette, the status of the Cave Master of Misfortune was completely the same as that of the Flame Demon Flag Master, Lan Ling. In fact, Lan Ling even had to come to the Cave Master of Misfortune personally. At the very least, he should have sent the Black Demon Flag Master, Hei Zhu.
Now, only Hei Zhu's eldest son was sent. The intention of dwarfing the Cave Master of Misfortune was very obvious.
However, after hearing Hei Naiwu's voice, the Cave Master of Misfortune immediately led the nine Elders and hundreds of disciples out of the cave master's door to welcome him.
Among them, the Cave Master of Misfortune even knelt down.
Hei Naiwu was stunned. He felt as if his worldview had been destroyed.
He had seen the Cave Master of Misfortune before. He was so arrogant that he even surpassed his father, the former Black Demon Flag Master.
Previously, every time the Black Demon Flag Master saw the Cave Master of Misfortune, he would first bow and call him brother.
As for Hei Naiwu, he had to go to the Cave Master of Misfortune to kowtow every new year. Moreover, the Cave Master of Misfortune would not speak to him for more than half a minute before sending him away.
It could be said that Hei Naiwu did not even have the right to speak in front of the Cave Master of Misfortune. He could only kowtow.
But now, the dignified Cave Master of Misfortune was kowtowing to him.
Hei Naiwu felt like he was drunk. It was too good!
Although he had pledged loyalty to Lan Ling before, that was because of his father, Hei Zhu. From the bottom of his heart, he was not convinced of Lan Ling. He had always harbored the thought of waiting for revenge, thinking that one day the Hei family would take back the Black Demon Flag.
However, at this time, he clearly felt that he had transcended his original status. This was all brought to him by the new lord, Lan Ling.
After enjoying himself, Hei Naiwu did not forget his duty. He said coldly, "Misfortune, do you know your crime?"
The Cave Master of Misfortune knelt down and kowtowed. "Misfortune knows my crime. I deserve to die."
Hei Naiwu said, "Since you know your crime, what will you do?"
The Cave Master of Misfortune said, "I will carry a thorn and ask for forgiveness. I will let the Flame Demon Lord cut me into pieces. The new Cave Master will also be appointed by the Flame Demon Lord."
Hei Naiwu was overjoyed. He did not expect things to go so smoothly.
In this way, his father Hei Zhu's painstaking efforts were not in vain.
He knew that in the Flame Demon Council, other than his father Hei Zhu, the other elders were determined to completely destroy the Cave Master of Misfortune. Above the dignity of Lord Lan Ling, anyone who dared to offend him must be killed.
It was his father Hei Zhu who wanted to preserve the Martial Vein of the Cave Master of Misfortune on account of their past friendship. Therefore, he proposed to only punish the Cave Master of Misfortune and preserve the Cave Master of Misfortune.
Hei Naiwu said, "Since you know your crime and are willing to accept your punishment, then follow me back to the Flame Demon Flag. Kneel and kowtow to the Lord, and accept your punishment!"
The Cave Master of Misfortune's senior brother, Elder E Ye, stepped forward and bowed. "Young City Lord, it is nearly three thousand li from here to the Flame Demon City. You came from thousands of li away. How can you not drink a cup of tea and eat a meal? This also shows that my Cave Master of Misfortune is not sensible. Moreover, I believe your mount is also tired. Please take a rest. This old man has some things to ask Young City Lord. "
Hei Naiwu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and landed at the entrance of the Cave Master of Misfortune.
Next, the Cave Master of Misfortune welcomed Hei Naiwu with very high etiquette, even more than the etiquette they had for his father Hei Zhu.
After welcoming him into the cave master, they used a high standard banquet to entertain Hei Naiwu. Apart from the Cave Master of Misfortune who had committed a crime, all nine elders accompanied him.
Soon, Hei Naiwu understood. Apart from the Cave Master of Misfortune going to accept his punishment, another person was needed to go to the Flame Demon City. Then, who would be more suitable? Because this person was the new Cave Master of Misfortune, and he wanted to express his allegiance to Lan Ling.
Hei Naiwu naturally knew that if the Cave Master of Misfortune took the route of surrender, then the new Cave Master would naturally be recognized by Lan Ling.
At the same time, he also knew that the Flame Demon Council had chosen Elder E Ye, but he could not say it.
"The Lord did not say who will go to the Flame Demon City to pay his respects," Hei Naiwu said. "But I have an idea."
Elder E Ye said, "Young City Lord, please enlighten us. This old man is all ears."
Hei Naiwu said, "I dare not call myself young City Lord. Although my father is the City Lord of Black Demon City, the next City Lord may not be me. The Lord needs to appoint me."
After explaining, Hei Naiwu said, "I think this is a rare opportunity. The nine elders have not met our Lord before. Why not take this opportunity to meet him?"
Hei Naiwu's meaning was very clear. Not only would the new Cave Master pay his respects to Lan Ling, but the nine elders would also go.
This, of course, meant that the Cave Master of Misfortune was no longer on equal footing with the Flame Demon Flag. It was not subservient, but completely loyal to the Flame Demon Flag Master Lan Ling.
Of course, the Cave Master of Misfortune would not agree.
However, the situation in front of them was already very clear. Not submitting would mean death!
The Cave Master of Misfortune was very powerful, but was it as powerful as Sky Demon Emperor's army that day?
The entire Cave Master of Misfortune only had three Demon Venerables, more than thirty Demon Sects, three hundred Demon Martial Grandmasters, and two to three thousand Great Demon Warriors.
Sky Demon Emperor's army of close to two million had been completely annihilated, let alone the Cave Master of Misfortune.
Therefore, other than kneeling and pledging their loyalty, there was no other way.
At this moment …
Suddenly, the cry of a Ghost Ray came from outside.
Then, the nine elders of the Cave Master of Misfortune could clearly feel an extremely powerful energy approaching, almost as if a mountain was pressing down on them.
The nine elders of the Cave Master of Misfortune were shocked. Could it be that Lan Ling could not wait any longer and had sent an army to attack?
"Young City Lord, please wait for a moment. I'll go out and take a look," Elder Eiye said and then left the cave.
…
Outside the Cave Master of Misfortune, there were more than a thousand Ghost Rays floating in the air!
The leader was the Netherworld Prince.
Behind him, there were more than a thousand martial artists from the five Venerable forces and the twelve Demon Flags' martial arts forces.
There were a total of eleven Demon Venerables, one hundred and fifty Demon Grandmasters, and more than a thousand Demon Martial Grandmasters.
The Netherworld Prince actually led a strong martial arts force to support them.
In the air, the Netherworld Prince said coldly, "Where's the Cave Master of Misfortune? I've led many martial arts forces to investigate the Cave Master of Misfortune. Why aren't you coming out to welcome me?"
Instantly, the gloomy Cave Master of Misfortune was overjoyed. As if he had just survived a disaster, he quickly rushed out and knelt before the Netherworld Prince. "Greetings, Your Highness!"
Then, the entire Cave Master of Misfortune welcomed the Netherworld Prince and more than a thousand martial artists into the Cave Master of Misfortune with the highest etiquette.
It was truly a new lease of life after a disaster!
However, the Cave Master of Misfortune was very confused. Didn't the Netherworld Prince just stand by and watch? Why did he come to support them?
Moreover, could these more than a thousand martial artists be a match for Lan Ling?
Back at the Sky Demon Flag Battlefield, the martial arts forces were four to five times stronger than this lineup, but they still managed to escape when faced with Lan Ling's Skeleton Corps.
Did the Netherworld Prince become more noble? Was he willing to risk his life for the Cave Master of Misfortune?
Of course not, because he had already received the most accurate information.
The one million Skeleton Corps that finally annihilated the Sky Demon King was indeed from the Ghost King Empire three thousand years ago.
Moreover, they only had a contractual relationship with Lan Ling, and they would only fight for Lan Ling once. At this time, the Skeleton Corps had already fled overseas and disappeared.
This information came from the Devil King, so it was absolutely true.
Moreover, there was another meaning in the Devil King's decree, which was to let the Netherworld Prince use the facts to test this point and confirm that the one million Skeleton Corps was not truly loyal to Lan Ling.
Therefore, the Netherworld Prince personally led more than a thousand martial artists to support the Cave Master of Misfortune.
This martial arts force far surpassed the Fiery Demon Flag. If not for the one million Skeleton Corps, these more than a thousand top-notch martial artists, in addition to the Cave Master of Misfortune itself, would be enough to annihilate Lan Ling's martial arts forces more than ten times over.
If the Skeleton Corps was loyal to Lan Ling, then they would appear again. On the contrary, it would prove that the Skeleton Corps did not belong to Lan Ling, so there was nothing for Lan Ling to fear.
Of course, neither the Netherworld Prince nor the Devil King knew that Lan Ling still had the terrifying Death Warriors. They also did not know that Lan Ling had the ability to suck and devour blood. Therefore, they did not know that Lan Ling had already turned all the martial artists under the Sky Demon King into immortal Death Warriors.
"The Skeleton Corps does not belong to Lan Ling. They fought for Lan Ling, and it was only a contractual relationship. They have already fled overseas and disappeared without a trace. Lan Ling is just bluffing," the Netherworld Prince said.
"Really?" the Cave Master of Misfortune said.
The Netherworld Prince said coldly, "Do you want to question my father?"
"I dare not …" the Cave Master of Misfortune was overjoyed. He said coldly, "Men, cut off the arms and legs of Lan Ling's messenger, Hei Naiwu. How dare this fellow humiliate me like this?"
…
Heaven Reaching Tower, Tian Sha Clan!
"Father, the investigation is almost done. The Skeleton Corps that Lan Ling summoned belonged to the imperial guards of the Ghost King Empire three thousand years ago," the Heaven Killing Prince said. "Lan Ling has some kind of token from the Ghost King, so he can summon them once. But this is a one-time contract. The one million Skeleton Corps will not fight for Lan Ling and will not change the situation! "
The Heaven Killing King nodded.
The war should have started three days ago, but because of the appearance of Lan Ling and the one million Skeleton Corps, the Heaven Killing King had to postpone the war.
Now that the investigation was done, the war could continue.
Suddenly, Princess Tigné said, "Father, you have a daughter, Princess Di Ning, right?"
The Heaven Killing King said, "Yes. Tigné, as her elder sister, you have never seen Di Ning."
Princess Tigné said, "How old is she?"
"Seventeen!" the Heaven Killing King said.
Princess Tigné said, "Ask Lan Ling to surrender. Marry Princess Di Ning to him and make him king in the future!"
