As the representative ruler of the entire Demons, how could he not receive any battle reports in the past two months?
Moreover, because the human army had destroyed Ligu Demon City, he paid special attention to the movements of the human army.
This was because the Demon King Castle where his father, the Fuyun Demon Lord, resided was right next to Ligu Demon City.
Although he did not believe that the human army could pose any threat to Fuyun Demon Lord City, he still felt uneasy after not receiving any news for more than two months.
More importantly, he did not receive any news from his father in the past two months.
If it was in the past, the Fuyun Demon Lord would send him some news every month.
An ominous premonition lingered in the Purgatory Demon Lord's mind.
Thinking of this, he ordered the demon guard below him, "Go to Fuyun Demon Lord City immediately. You must greet the Fuyun Demon Lord on behalf of this lord. Then, report back to this lord!"
The demon guard hesitated and said, "My lord, the Demon Emperor ordered us not to leave the city without permission. Won't this go against the will of the Demon Emperor …"
The Purgatory Demon Lord said angrily, "This lord told you to go, so go! This lord will take responsibility for everything! "
"Yes!"
The demon guard did not dare to say anything else. He quickly flew out of the Devil Lord Castle and rushed toward Fuyun Demon Lord City.
After the demon guard left, the Purgatory Demon Lord walked down from his throne and paced back and forth in the main hall for a long time. After pondering for a moment, he sent out another fifteen demon guards to the surrounding Demon King Castle to invite the Devil Lord over.
These fifteen Devil Lord were the direct descendants of the Southern Demon Emperor. They were at least late-stage Venerable Realm experts. They built their cities not far from the Southern Demon Emperor City. Together with the Purgatory Demon Lord, they were known as the 'Sixteen Venerable Guardians of the Southern Demon Emperor'.
They were usually led by the Purgatory Demon Lord. When they heard the Purgatory Demon Lord's summons, they naturally rushed over.
"Lord Purgatory, why did you call us over in such a hurry? What's the situation?"
After waiting for the Devil Lord to gather, a Demon Venerable with a face full of sores asked loudly.
The Purgatory Demon Lord swept his gaze across the faces of the Devil Lord and asked in a deep voice, "This lord only wants to ask if you have received any battle reports during this period of time?"
Many Demon Sovereigns exchanged glances with each other. Soon after, they shook their heads and said no.
However, there were still a few Devil Lord who immediately showed hesitation. They did not know what to say.
With the Purgatory Demon Lord's cultivation, he naturally saw the expressions of the dozen or so Devil Lord below him. He immediately looked at one of the Devil Lord whose expression had changed slightly.
"Xu Ming, do you know something that you are deliberately hiding from me?"
The Purgatory Demon Lord asked in a deep voice.
The Xu Ming Devil Lord's expression changed once more. He stammered, "Lord Purgatory, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand? What could I possibly be hiding from you, Lord Purgatory?"
The Purgatory Demon Lord's face sank. His sense of foreboding grew even stronger. He said in a sunken voice, "Xu Ming, tell me the truth. Why are you hiding something from me? I'm temporarily dealing with the Demons. If you don't give me an explanation today, don't blame me for turning on you!"
The Devil Lord immediately panicked when he heard that, but he did not dare to tell the truth. He glanced at the other Devil Lord and said, "Lord Purgatory, don't just ask me. The Earth Dragon Devil Lord knows before me!"
The Purgatory Demon Lord's eyes narrowed when he heard that. He looked at the Devil Lord and called out, "Earth Dragon, what do you know as well? Why are you hiding it from me? "
The light in the Devil Lord's eyes flickered. He did not know how to answer.
At this moment, a hurried sound pierced through the air. Shortly after, a demon clad in tattered armor and covered in bloodstains knelt in the hall.
The Purgatory Demon Lord saw him. It was the demon guard he had sent to Fuyun Demon Lord City. He hurriedly asked, "Why have you returned so quickly? Why are you so heavily injured? Did you reach Fuyun Demon Lord City and see the Fuyun Demon Lord? "
The demon guard lowered his head even further when he heard the Purgatory Demon Lord's string of questions. He clenched his teeth and said, "My lord, this subordinate returned when I was five kilometers away from Fuyun Demon Lord City …
This was because as soon as this subordinate set foot in that region, I saw a large number of human cultivators surge out from Fuyun Demon Lord City. Those cultivators were extremely powerful. This subordinate fled desperately and even used my trump cards. Only then did I manage to survive and return to report … "
"What?"
Demon Venerate Purgatory was shocked when he heard this. He opened his hand and the Demon Guard's body was sucked into his palm. "What kind of message do you want to deliver?" he asked in a sinister tone.
The demon guard trembled, but he did not dare to lie. He said, "Fuyun Demon Lord City … has probably fallen into the hands of the humans …"
"Ah!"
The Purgatory Demon Lord directly flung the demon guard away when he heard that. The demon guard shot through the walls of the fortress like a cannonball, flying several thousand meters away.
Afterwards, the Purgatory Demon Exalt stared at the Void Underworld Demon Exalt and the Earth Obscuring Demon Exalt with bloodshot eyes. He asked in a shrill voice, "The two of you already knew that the Rotting Cloud Demon Exalt had fallen, didn't you?"
The Xu Underworld Devil Lord and the Earth Dragon looked at each other. They could sense the terrifying presence radiating from the Purgatory Demon Lord, so they constantly backed away. "My lord, please calm down. The Southern Demon Emperor gave the order to seal off the news. He didn't let us tell you!"
"South! Demon! Emperor! "
The Purgatory Demon Lord asked again through gritted teeth, "Why did the Southern Demon Emperor seal off the news? Why didn't he let you tell me? "
"S- because the Demon Emperor was worried that you would do something rash and ruin the entire plan of the Demons!"
The Purgatory Demon Lord laughed madly when he heard that. His voice was abnormally shrill, and his laughter echoed through the entire Demon King Castle. All the Demons in the castle prostrated themselves on the ground as they trembled.
Only after laughing for quite a while did the Purgatory Demon Lord slowly stop. He stared at the Xu Underworld Devil Lord with bloodshot eyes and sneered softly, "In other words, my father, Fuyun Demon Lord, has already died to the hands of the humans?"
The Xu Underworld Devil Lord shivered, but he could not help but nod in a hurry, "S- I'm afraid so. However, my lord, don't be rash, or the Southern Demon Emperor will punish you. You won't be able to bear the consequences! "
The Purgatory Demon Lord laughed madly again when he heard that. After a long while, his laughter stopped, and he stared into the distance with a sharp gaze, "I cannot live under the same sky as the murderer of my father! What bullshit orders of the Demon Emperor! And what bullshit plans of the Demons!?
In the past, the Southern Demon Emperor sent people to escort the Imperial Flower Fruit, but they were robbed by the humans, and now you're blaming me for it. Now that you've ripened the Imperial Flower Fruit again, I, the Purgatory Demon Lord, have nothing to do with it. We've worked so hard for you for tens of thousands of years, yet not only have we not received any benefits at all, even taking revenge for our father is an extravagant request! "
As he spoke, Purgatory Demon Sovereign smiled savagely and roared in a shrill voice, "You, the Southern Demon Emperor, forbade me from going, but I insist on going! Today, I will mobilize my entire army to avenge my father!
I'd like to see just which human Celestial Exalt killed my father. I'll rip him to shreds! "
