Lan Ling hurriedly bowed back and said, "This junior pays his respects to Her Majesty Jiang Shang."
Immediately after, the Tang man also stepped forward and bowed. "This junior pays his respects to Her Majesty Jiang Shang!"
The Tang man also addressed himself as a junior. It seemed that the two of them had interacted before.
After the Tang man bowed, Suo Mo also followed suit.
Jiang Shang, the Prince of Dongli, returned the greeting with cupped hands and said to the Tang man, "I trust you have been well since we last met, Tang man."
The two of them indeed knew each other. Both of them liked adventures, so it was not surprising that they had interacted before.
Jiang Shang said, "Her Majesty Lan Ling, when you encountered a disaster in the human kingdom, I was tens of thousands of miles away, so I was unable to rush back in time to help you. I am very sorry!"
His words directly exposed Lan Ling's identity as Søren.
Lan Ling said, "Where? Her Majesty Jiang Shang has no obligation to help me at all. "
"I do." Jiang Shang said.
Lan Ling hesitated for a moment and said, "Her Majesty Jiang Shang, do you know the whereabouts of my family?"
"Most of them were captured, but a few escaped." Jiang Shang said, "The Rock Queen escaped, and Liren brought Zhi Ning and her son to my Dongli Kingdom. When I was not there, my Dongli Crown Prince refused to protect Liren and Zhi Ning and her son, so they escaped by sea. Along the way, they were chased by the Dragon Temple's fliers. "
Hearing this, Lan Ling almost couldn't breathe.
He had prayed countless times, hoping that Zhi Ning and his son Zhi Yu would be fine. Hearing Jiang Shang's words, could it be that …
Jiang Shang said, "By the time I returned to the Dongli Kingdom, a long time had passed. I went to the Yanjing Temple to ask for Ashita Liren, but the Sky Priest Gu Ban told me that they did not succeed in capturing Liren, which means that she should be fine. Then I searched for two years, but I couldn't find Li Ren. "
Lan Ling said, "Then where do you think they should be?"
Jiang Shang was silent for a moment before she said, "The Liren's bloodline is very special, similar to the people of the Witch Kingdom. I … have also visited the Witch Kingdom, but before I could enter the Witch Kingdom's territory, I was expelled … "
There should be another story behind Jiang Shang being banished by the Witch Kingdom.
Lan Ling was surprised: "You mean, mother and daughter Ashita Liren and Zhi Ning might be in the Witch's Kingdom?"
Jiang Shang said: "The possibility is very high. From the Demon Queen's attitude, I could see some clues, so I left with peace of mind."
Lan Ling asked: "Ashita Liren is not Asimo's biological daughter?"
Jiang Shang shook her head and said, "No, he picked her up. Based on his and his wife's bloodline, they can't give birth to a child."
As long as they are alive, this is the best news Lan Ling has received so far.
Lan Ling asked: "Your Majesty Jiang Shang, what brings you to my Balrog Empire?"
Jiang Shang said: "I indeed have a very important matter to discuss with you. We will discuss it after your founding ceremony."
Lan Ling asked: "Can't you tell me now?"
Jiang Shang said: "It's hard to say now."
Lan Ling said: "Very well, then we will talk after the founding ceremony!"
…
After entering Flame Demon City, Lan Ling used the highest etiquette to entertain the East Li Monarch Jiang Shang. During the banquet, not only did he invite all the members of the Flame Demon Council, he also invited all of his wives and children to accompany him.
Whether it was Yoon Hi-hee or Princess Sha Yan, when they first saw the East Li Monarch Jiang Shang, they were filled with worship.
Jiang Shang's fame was far greater than Lan Ling imagined. Even Princess Sha Yan and Consort Ni Chang who lived in the Southern Wilderness knew of his great achievements.
And when Yoon Hi-hee saw Jiang Shang, she wanted to rush over to him. Before she even got close, she cried out in tears: "Master Jiang Shang."
As a princess of the Yelan Principality, she had twice accompanied her father to visit the Dongli Kingdom. When he was studying in Fengdu Dragon College, he also went to the East Li Kingdom for half a year for exchange, just like Ji Soo-ning and Jung Yeon.
The East Li Monarch Jiang Shang was the martial arts leader of the entire human kingdom. In order to be on good terms with him, the Dragon Temple would send the high-level students of the Dragon College to the East Li Kingdom to learn martial arts. This was considered an honor.
Therefore, all the disciples of the human kingdoms and duchies were considered Jiang Shang's disciples in name. Ashita Liren was also once their senior sister.
"Lan Yin, Lan Shi's daughter?" Jiang Shang still remembered Yoon Hi-hee.
"It's me, it's me …" Yoon Hi-hee couldn't help but throw herself into Jiang Shang's arms and burst into tears.
The relationship between Yoon Hi-hee and Jiang Shang wasn't that close. After all, she had only been in the Dongli Kingdom for half a year, and she was only one of the dozens of students. However, she had always regarded Jiang Shang as her idol. She had even composed music for Jiang Shang and his wife. When she first saw him, she instinctively thought of him as her father.
Jiang Shang was stunned. He wasn't used to being so intimate with children. He hadn't even been this intimate with Ashita Liren or Jiang Xue.
Then, he looked at Lan Ling with an inquiring gaze. Of course, he knew that Søren had killed Grand Duke Lan Shi and his wife. Now that Yoon Hi-hee was here with him, he wanted to ask Yoon Hi-hee if she knew that he was Søren.
Lan Ling nodded, indicating that Yoon Hi-hee already knew.
Jiang Shang couldn't help but feel pity for her. He patted Yoon Hi-hee's head lightly but didn't say anything. This matter was too complicated.
During dinner, Yoon Hi-hee sat next to Jiang Shang. She attentively poured wine for him and picked food for him.
She had lost her parents and family. She had found the man she loved, but this man was the enemy who killed her father. Therefore, she was especially lonely and insecure.
Now that Jiang Shang was here, she instinctively thought of Jiang Shang as her elder, as if someone from her maiden family had come to visit.
"Master Jiang Shang, how is Senior Martial Sister Liren? How is Senior Martial Sister Jiang Xue? "Yoon Hi-hee asked while attentively attending to Jiang Shang.
Jiang Shang replied, "Not really."
Yoon Hi-hee asked, "What's wrong? I like Senior Martial Sister Jiang Xue the most. What's wrong with her? "
Jiang Shang replied, "She seems to have suffered some kind of interference and infiltration."
From this, it could be seen that Jiang Shang was a sincere and meticulous person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have answered a child's question like Yoon Hi-hee. But as long as he answered, he wouldn't be perfunctory.
Yoon Hi-hee wanted to ask again but was stopped by Sha Yan, "Lan Yin, don't ask anymore. If there's a need, Her Majesty Jiang Shang will tell husband. "
Lan Ling asked while cutting the venison, "Her Majesty Jiang Shang, how are the human kingdoms?"
Jiang Shang replied, "The Raging Wave Kingdom is controlled by the Dragon Temple. The Temple Army almost controls the entire Raging Wave Kingdom and the borders of the Demon Kingdom. In recent years, the Dragon Temple has lifted the ban on advanced martial arts. Every year, tens of thousands of people go to the Dragon Temple to learn energy martial arts. They are preparing for a world war. "
After a slight hesitation, Princess Sha Yan asked on behalf of Lan Ling, "What about Queen Jung Yeon?"
Jiang Shang replied, "Before coming to the Demon Kingdom this time, I went to visit Queen Jung Yeon, but she wasn't there. All these years, she has been away from the country most of the time. The Raging Wave Kingdom is basically governed by the cabinet. "
At the banquet, Jiang Shang was like an idol, accepting many questions. On the contrary, people like Ah Li and Dina, who were born in the lower class, weren't very familiar with him.
When they were in the human kingdom, Lan Ling almost regarded Jiang Shang as a god because his martial arts were too strong. He was a master in the human empire.
After coming to the Demon Kingdom, he felt that his martial arts were nothing compared to the Demon Kingdom's.
But now, after Jiang Shang came to the Balrog Empire, he realized that Jiang Shang was really awesome. His martial arts were not only the best in the human kingdoms, but also the best in the Demon Kingdom. He might be on par with the Heaven Killer King or even the Demonic Buddha Great Emperor.
After the banquet, Lan Ling paid a private visit to Jiang Shang.
"Your Majesty Jiang Shang, the Tang people's energy heart was attacked by the Sky Shaman's Misfortune. A black hole vortex appeared, and they only have twenty days to live. I have racked my brains but couldn't find a way to save them. Is there anything you can teach me?" Lan Ling asked.
Jiang Shang looked at Lan Ling for a while and said, "Black hole vortex? Is it the advanced state of the Star Magic? "
Lan Ling nodded and said, "Yes."
Jiang Shang nodded and said, "I have an idea."
Lan Ling was pleasantly surprised. He really asked Jiang Shang with the attitude of giving it a try. He didn't expect that she actually had a way.
This King Dongli was really a pedant, worthy of being the world's number one.
Then, Jiang Shang said, "But can we talk about it after the Founding Ceremony? I'm not keeping you in suspense, but the matter of saving the Tang people and what I want to talk about with you are one and the same. What I'm about to talk to you about is too important. It's related to the fate of the entire world. Can you understand? "
Lan Ling said, "Of course I can. This humble one pays respect to Your Majesty Jiang Shang!"
"I don't dare …" Jiang Shang said.
Lan Ling said, "You just said that Princess Jiang Xue seemed to be under some kind of infiltration and interference. What's going on?"
Jiang Shang said, "She obtained a sword in the Bloody Maze City."
Lan Ling nodded and said, "I know about this. She even threw the Golden Dragon Sword away."
Jiang Shang said, "The sword she obtained in the Bloody Maze City has a very dark and evil power. It has already seeped into her soul and can't be removed. This power caused her to become very powerful, but it also caused her demonic nature to rise. Because I was searching for the whereabouts of the Dragon Emperor and had been traveling for many years, it was already too late when I discovered her abnormality. At that time, I needed to find Liren first before saving Jiang Xue, so I sealed her in ice, hoping to find a way to save Jiang Xue after I found Liren. "
Hearing this, Lan Ling was filled with admiration for Jiang Shang.
Ashita Liren was his disciple, and Jiang Xue was his biological daughter.
However, he chose to find and save Liren first, and put his daughter Jiang Xue after Liren. It wasn't that he didn't love his daughter, but because he felt that he had a greater responsibility to protect Liren.
"However, when I returned to the Dong Li Kingdom, Jiang Xue had already broken free from the seal and disappeared." Jiang Shang sighed.
Lan Ling said, "If she came to the Demonic Territory, I'll definitely pay attention."
At this moment, Gou Li's voice rang in Lan Ling's mind.
Her voice was extremely shocked, and it was trembling.
"Your Majesty … Princess Tigné is here to visit!"
Instantly, Lan Ling was shocked.
Princess Tigné had personally come to the Founding Ceremony of the Balrog Empire?
One had to know that in the United Front of the Demon Empire, her position was the same as the Heaven Killer King's, or even slightly higher. This was because the Winged Race and the Witch Kingdom only followed Princess Tigné, not the Heaven Killer King.
Tigné was the undisputed leader of the United Front of the Demon Empire. Not long ago, she had just slapped Na Xue in the face by sending troops to attack the three Southern Demon Territories.
At this time, she had a total of four major demon territories in her hands, plus the Witch Kingdom.
Out of the eight Demon Territories in the Southern Wilderness, she controlled five, which was more than half of the territory. Her territory was even larger than the Ghost King Empire from 3,000 years ago.
Moreover, she was extremely arrogant. Regardless of whether it was the Ground Killer King or other people, they were all like ants in her eyes. Only the Tang people were personally received by her.
Who would have thought that she would actually come to visit the Balrog Empire!
After recovering from his shock, Lan Ling looked at Jiang Shang, asking if she wanted to meet Princess Tigné, the leader of the United Front of the Demon Empire.
Jiang Shang shook her head and said, "Whether it's Na Xue or Tigné, it's not good for me to meet them."
Lan Ling nodded. Therefore, he once again led the Tang people and Suo Mo to welcome Princess Tigné!
…
Like Jiang Shang, Princess Tigné came alone. She didn't even have a flying mount. She descended directly from the sky.
On her back, there was a pair of bluish-purple wings!
When she descended from the sky, everyone in the Flame Demon City stopped moving. They stood rooted to the ground and looked at her in a daze.
Even though she left very quickly, her face seemed to fill everyone's eyes and minds.
She was devastatingly beautiful, captivating, and peerless!
Words still couldn't describe her beauty and demonic powers. This was because it had already reached the level of energy studies and metaphysics.
Indeed, in this world, the only one who could rival her was Princess Na Xue.
Tigné and Princess Na Xue were indeed the two peerless geniuses of the entire Demon Territory.
As for Lan Ling …
The moment he saw Princess Tigné, it was as if he had been struck by lightning!
There was a loud bang, and his entire mind went blank!
