In the Wutong Palace, Xilu stood under the Wutong tree for a long time, thinking about the authenticity of his imperial brother's words.
The imperial brother's background was actually nothing compared to his own. His mother-in-law was from the Shark clan in the Northern Sea of Demons. At that time, the Shark clan had a high prestige in the Beihai, and there were also demon kings in the clan. In order to stabilize themselves. That's why the Demon Emperor married that woman. However, no one expected that the ancestor of the shark clan would have a big problem in his practice. Not only did he become a demon, he would also kill everyone within the shark clan. , causing many strong men to fall one after another, and no talented descendants were born for a long time, so they naturally declined uncontrollably, even if they were related by marriage to the Demon Emperor.
The sharks' territory is constantly being eroded, and now there is still an island that is still surviving. It is also because there is a prince of the demon clan. Otherwise, the annihilation of the clan is not a joke.
Without his power, the prince was not popular in the palace. Being bullied was commonplace when he was a child. The Demon Emperor was similar to the Liang Emperor in that he hardly cared about his own children.
Even in Xilu, it was only after she showed her unparalleled talent in these years that she was valued by the Demon Emperor. Before, her life was no different from that of her imperial brother.
Before this, whether you can live comfortably in the palace depends on whether the family behind you is strong enough.
In fact, in many things, there is no difference between the human race and the demon race.
Nowadays, Xilu is regarded by the demon clan as the most likely to inherit the throne of the demon clan. When thinking about things, you must not start from one side, but must consider all aspects. However, although Xilu is smart, he is not that easy to deceive, but in these At work, I still feel irritable.
As expected, the young warrior is more suitable to think about this kind of thing.
Thinking of this, Xilu frowned, a little disgusted that he would think of that young warrior at this moment.
Her eyes turned white in an instant, and she quickly dispelled her emotions.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that if she thought too much about the young warrior, there would be some bad consequences.
Taking a deep breath, Xilu returned to the sycamore tree and continued practicing his sword.
Before leaving the Demon Realm next time, she will upgrade her swordsmanship to the realm of the Great Sword Immortal.
At that time, that young warrior, no matter how many tricks he uses, will die in the end.
…
…
The high priest has already set off for southern Xinjiang.
The Demon Territory is vast. If you include the Demon Sea in the north, this Demon Territory is actually not far behind the territory of the human race.
It’s just that the climate is harsh. In the middle part of the Monster Clan’s royal city, from the upper reaches to the lower reaches of the Onan River, including southern Xinjiang, there are still a few months without snow at the end of spring and midsummer every year. But on the other side of the Monster Sea, There is heavy snow all year round, and the sea is frozen all year round. It is actually very difficult for some low-level demon clans to live.
The reason why Bai Jing readily agreed to go south and was very interested in this matter was that no one would believe him if he didn't have this reason.
In fact, the high priest knows his old friend very well, and knows that although he is proud, he still cares about the people in his clan. Such a temperament is actually not common in the demon clan, especially among the great demons and demons who are accomplished practitioners. This is even more true for the demon king.
They have cultivated themselves to the point where they are immune to cold and heat, so they don't care what happens to others.
The southern end of the Demon Realm, which they call Southern Border, actually has a much better climate. There are many demon clans gathered here, and there are more tribes. It used to be a leaderless stage until the Demon Emperor took office. After his death, the Red-sleeved Demon Lord, who was the biological sister of the Demon Emperor, almost sat on the throne. Although he did not actually sit on the throne because he lost the battle with the Demon Emperor, the Red-sleeved Demon Lord went south and the Demon Emperor died. Nor did they kill them all.
Maybe she was thinking about feelings, after all, she was his sister-in-law, or maybe the demon emperor was busy dealing with the other ambitious brothers. In any case, after that, the red-sleeved demon king went south to southern Xinjiang and swept away many local tribes. The young demon king was forced to surrender.
From then on, the Red-sleeved Demon King became the de facto co-owner of Southern Xinjiang.
In the current Southern Border City, there have always been rumors about the demon clan. In the demon realm, you can disrespect the demon emperor, but you must never ignore the red-sleeved demon king.
The current eldest princess, in the south, speaks much more effectively than the Demon Emperor.
This is not to say how prestige the Red-sleeved Demon Lord is in the south or how many people are willing to go through fire and water for her, but because of her iron-blooded skills and the fact that she is here, she will know about anything happening almost immediately. Once she is She knew what the outcome would be, no need to say more.
Therefore, this time the high priest went to Nanjiang City not with much fanfare, but alone and quietly.
A few days later, when the high priest rushed to the gate of Nanjiang City, he was also a little emotional. The current size of Nanjiang City was actually similar to that of the Monster Clan Royal City.
He had traveled to the Demon Realm in the early years, and naturally he had also been to this Southern Border City. The Southern Border City at that time was much smaller and more dilapidated than the Southern Border City today.
Where can it be on this scale now?
However, he also knew that the last of several reconstructions of this southern border city happened after the Red Sleeve Demon Lord took over.
As for why the Southern Xinjiang City was built to be similar in size to the Demon Clan's Royal City, in fact, the Demon Clan in Southern Xinjiang have thought a lot about it and discussed it a lot over the years, but after all that, they still can't escape the word Demon Emperor.
The high priest slowly entered the city, not exempt from customs, and paid the entrance fee learned from the human race.
Entering the city, the high priest approached the main palace in the center of the city. He was thinking about whether to report his home directly and ask if the demon king was in the city. In front of him, a thin middle-aged man came here and saw the big man. After the priest, he slightly cupped his hands and said, "Is this Mr. Jing?"
The title sir is still rare among the demon clan.
The high priest thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It's me."
The man smiled and said, "Miss Hong wants to see Mr."
The high priest asked curiously: "Red girl?"
First, it's a title like "Mr. Girl" that is common in the human race but not at all common in the demon race, and then the surname Hong? The high priest couldn't remember that he had a friend here named Hong.
The man said: "It's Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."
The high priest was startled, then nodded.
With this person, there was really no need to think about whether he could see the red-sleeved demon king, but after that, he followed him to the main palace and still had a lot of small talk.
"Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, has actually been living in seclusion for these years, and she is not as murderous as outsiders rumored. Some of the monsters who died under her eldest princess are seeking their own death, and there is no one to blame."
"As for this title, it is Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess's only request. She requires all the servants in the palace to use this title. I don't know why, but it is definitely impossible to say that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess intends to turn to the human race. How about the royal bloodline? Will you abandon your own people?"
"But Mr. Jing is still the only outsider that Her Royal Highness the Princess has met in these years. It seems that Mr. Jing's status must be extraordinary."
The man was talking as he walked, but it seemed that he didn't know the identity of the high priest, otherwise he wouldn't have said these words.
The high priest smiled and said nothing. After entering the mansion, the man took the high priest to a study room and said goodbye.
The high priest took a deep breath and stepped into the study.
The study room is not big, just a place where a wooden table and two rows of bookshelves can be placed. A woman in a red dress lowers her head and writes something on the table. In fact, just by looking at it, you can know that the woman is actually good, no matter what Is it appearance or aura.
Also, Her Royal Highness, the only eldest princess of the demon clan, is not a mortal.
After a moment, the woman in the red dress raised her head, blinked her eyes first, then rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and asked, "Jing Zhu, is it really you?"
The woman who was already extremely beautiful now looked even more playful and charming in a different way.
The high priest was a little helpless, "If it weren't for me, why would Her Royal Highness invite me here?"
"I know who comes and goes in Nanjiang City, but even though I noticed you coming before, thinking about it, you, the high priest, should have a lot of things to do now and would not come to a small place like mine."
The woman in the red dress smiled and said, feeling a little happy from the bottom of her heart, "I didn't expect that it was you who came in the end."
Just as the high priest was about to speak, the woman in the red dress shook her head and said, "Jing Zhu, can't we talk about these things later?"
She seemed a little aggrieved when she spoke, and she looked pitiful. She didn't look like the legendary eldest princess who was decisive in killing and iron-blooded.
The high priest was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
The woman in the red dress nodded happily and said with a smile: "Jing Zhu, let me take you to Nanjiang City. Eat something good and see something you haven't seen before?"
The high priest nodded and said again: "Okay."
After that, he really left the mansion with the high-level princess in front of him, who was not necessarily good-tempered, and went out to see a southern city.
The two of them left the mansion together and walked casually in the large Southern Xinjiang city. The eldest princess talked a lot along the way, and the high priest responded... not too little.
"Jing Zhu, you know there are many things about the human race, but do you know what the marriage process is like in the human race?"
Hongxiu suddenly spoke, with a hint of expectation in her voice.
The high priest thought for a while and asked: "Are those monks becoming Taoist companions, or... those human beings?"
Hongxiu said angrily: "Of course it's the latter."
"If it's the latter, then the process will be cumbersome. At the beginning, there must be a matchmaker. The so-called parents order the matchmaker. That's it. After that..."
The high priest patiently talked about the marriage process on the human side, speaking slowly, ensuring that every word he said could be heard clearly by the eldest princess opposite.
After finishing these words, the high priest looked at Hongxiu and asked jokingly: "Is it possible that Her Royal Highness, the Princess of Growth, really wants to leave the demon clan and go to the human clan?"
Hong Xiu did not answer this question, but just said to himself: "After leaving the Royal City, I spent a lot of time getting to know the human race, and I liked their customs very much. Later I thought, if I had never been a demon race, I would It would be good if he is alone, and if he is not a monk who knows how to practice, he must be an ordinary person who lives for decades in this life and all he wants is three meals a day all year round."
The high priest said: "Those people had a hard time in the past. There were monsters living in Daliang who would eat people, and those monks from other places would kill them at will."
The implication of his words is quite simple, that is, your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, seems to be a little too simplistic when looking at the problem at the moment.
Hong Xiu said: "Daliang Dynasty has been in existence for more than two hundred years. Aren't such things becoming less and less? Especially now."
The high priest remained silent. For ordinary people, the emperors and officials above them were the best in history.
"So you want to destroy such a big beam, I'm not very happy."
Hongxiu looked at the high priest and said calmly: "But my idea is very selfish, because I know that they will definitely want to destroy us."
The high priest nodded and said: "Things like living in peace and harmony can probably be achieved if there are no old grudges, but there are always old grudges, and neither party can resolve them, so there is no way to live in peace and harmony. "
Hongxiu nodded and said, "I understand the truth."
The high priest thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, your Highness should know my purpose of coming."
Hong Xiu said: "Do you still know? If my nephew didn't ask for help, how could he send someone to see me? If he didn't ask me for a big deal, why would he send you?"
The high priest was silent.
"My nephew had murderous intentions at the beginning. If it weren't for your words, he would not have let me go south. I appreciate your kindness, but Jing Zhu, I have always had a question to ask you over the years, but you always I didn’t come to Nanjiang City, so I thought a lot, and now my thoughts may be getting more and more outrageous, but I still want an answer.”
Hong Xiu looked at the high priest, thought for a moment, and actually stuck out her tongue. It seemed that something happened back then had really changed the temperament of the demon clan princess.
The high priest glanced at a southern Xinjiang city in the distance, and after walking only half of it, he thought for a moment and said, "How about we finish shopping?"
"no."
Hong Xiu decisively rejected the high priest in front of him.
The high priest said helplessly: "Why? Didn't you say before that you have to see this southern city before talking about it? Why have you changed your mind now?"
"Are you stupid or am I stupid?"
Hongxiu said proudly: "Before, I was afraid that you would leave once you announced your intention, but now it is clear that you want to delay time. I will not wait foolishly."
The high priest thought for a while and said, "Then what is your problem?"
Hongxiu frowned and said, "Stop talking about this!"
The high priest smiled, then twitched the corner of his mouth, "There is indeed love, but it is just love."
Hong Xiu was puzzled, "Why?"
The high priest looked at Hongxiu and said calmly: "Because Your Majesty will not call me uncle."
