Zhao Ning was not entirely because of Xiao Carp's plea. She had some doubts in her heart. She left because Princess Jin's eyes were too decisive, as if she had staked all her treasures on Zhao Ning's trip, and even the assassination. It may be to delay recruitment.
Until Zhao Ning arrived at Princess Jin's small courtyard, hiding in the shadows, she happened to see two shrimp soldiers dragging a figure out of the courtyard like a dead man.
The demon's hair was disheveled, his clothes were disheveled, and there were many wounds on his exposed skin. She was none other than Princess Jin.
Before they came, Princess Jin had already suffered a horrific abuse.
"Sister..." the little carp whimpered. She got a head out of the clam shell, but at this moment she also understood that there was nothing she could do. She could only watch Princess Jin being dragged away like this.
Probably because of the blood connection, the dying Princess Jin glanced in this direction while being dragged, and perhaps noticed them. There was despair and farewell in her eyes, as if to say, it will only be you next.
"Sister..." Little Carp couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to rush out regardless.
However, Zhao Ning forcibly grabbed her tail, and Princess Jin's sudden sharp eyes forced her back.
At this moment, King Pan strode out of the small courtyard. Zhao Ning took half a step back and completely hid in Yinyin, using the secret treasure to seal his aura.
King Pan stared at Princess Jin with cold eyes. At this moment, he lost half of the tenderness and doting he had when he first entered the courtyard. He looked at her as if she were looking at a dead thing.
"Princess Jin, it's in vain that I like you so much. You are the daughter of the Red King. I have long known that such a day would come, but I don't care." He glanced at his chest. He was only wearing a robe. The upper body is naked, and there is an almost ignored knife mark on the heart. "Even so, you, a second-level demon, still want to hurt me, it is really a joke."
Princess Jin didn't look at him at all, she even spat at his taunt.
King Pan's face became even colder, "Okay, okay, Princess Jin, you are such a ungrateful person."
He rushed up in a few steps and stepped on Princess Jin's belly. Princess Jin suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the two guards who were dragging Princess Jin let go of her, causing her body to hit the ground hard.
King Pan raised his hand, and the demon power gathered in his palm. Princess Jin was controlled by the power from the air and was forced to open her mouth. A crystal bead was about to spit out from her mouth, but it hovered near her mouth. .
That is Princess Jin's life pearl.
King Pan has complete control over Princess Jin's life bead. He only needs to hold it gently, and the brilliance will overflow from the life bead, which represents the torture of Princess Jin's soul and the destruction of Princess Jin's longevity for decades.
The little carp struggled in Zhao Ning's hands. It looked at this scene in pain. It was the greatest restraint in its life that it did not scream.
"Princess Jin, be careful. I want to kill you, but I just pinched it casually." But as soon as King Pan loosened his hand, the life bead returned to Princess Jin's body, and Princess Jin coughed heavily because of this. With a cry, King Pan sneered, "However, I am still kind-hearted. Seeing that you have served me for such a long time, I will give you a chance to return the stolen demon oracle to me. The king will give you a good end!"
After all, it was because of what happened in the main hall before. King Pan valued the demon god's oracle very much. Even the assassination of Princess Jin this time was believed to be related to covering up the stolen demon god's oracle.
The little carp struggled so much that it even slipped out of Zhao Ning's hand. Zhao Ning was slightly startled, thinking that the little carp was going to rush out regardless, but it was in the pain of not being able to bear to look at Princess Jin anymore. Inside the clam shell.
"Okay, okay, Your Majesty, let me tell you, Your Majesty." Princess Jin suddenly resumed her charming voice. King Pan raised his eyebrows and looked at Princess Jin, half-supporting her body and raising her body. "Your Majesty, please come closer. , let me tell you."
Of course, King Pan would not think that Princess Jin was afraid of death and really wanted to tell him the truth, but King Pan was also conceited enough. He did not believe that Princess Jin would be disadvantageous to him because of such an action. He even wanted to use such an action to insult Jin. Princess.
Princess Jin didn't care, her last smile was charming, she leaned forward and said, "You're dreaming."
As he spoke, he bit King Pan's ear and refused to let go.
The guard next to him was startled and kicked Princess Jin to let her go. King Pan was furious and raised his hand. Princess Jin was slapped and flew out, while half of King Pan's ear was bitten off. .
He wiped the blood from his ear with one hand and said angrily, "You bitch!"
"Bah-hahahaha-" Princess Jin spat out half of her ear mixed with blood and laughed.
The guard quickly said, "Your Majesty, we will send her to the dungeon of Ten Thousand Poison Cave right now!"
This is to torture Princess Jin to death.
King Pan suddenly raised his hand to stop, "Don't worry, hang her in front of the main hall. I want to see how long the guy who stole the oracle can hide for!"
"yes!"
The two guards dragged Princess Jin away again.
King Pan wiped the blood from his ear with one hand, and glanced at the nearby area with a cold gaze. He seemed to know that someone must be peeping nearby, but he could not find where the peeping came from, and in the end he could only walk away angrily.
Zhao Ning did not leave immediately. She waited in the shadows for a long time. She watched the patrolling guards rummaging through the small courtyard over and over again, and then searched hard nearby. She almost found them several times, but was cleverly caught. hid in the past.
It wasn't until a few hours later that King Pan probably thought that the guy hiding in the dark had slipped away, and the patrols around him stopped.
Zhao Ning walked along the edge to the outside of Pan Palace. When she walked out of the back palace, she saw Princess Jin hanging in front of the main hall.
Princess Jin was covered in blood, her clothes were in tatters, her hands were hanging high, and her breath was very weak.
The boulder above the main hall protruded outwards, and a long chain was somehow embedded inside the boulder, wrapping downwards around Princess Jin.
The demons passing by either looked at Princess Jin coldly or made comments that were extremely unpleasant.
Zhao Ning walked very fast, not daring to stay. Once she got out of the Panwang Palace and reached the outskirts of Haimo Cave, she breathed a sigh of relief when she returned to the area where the clam girls lived.
When the clam girls saw Zhao Ning coming back, some of them came up to greet her, "Yimei, why are you coming back now? Something happened in Pan Palace. There was a huge noise."
Zhao Ning whispered, "It's Princess Jin. Princess Jin assassinated King Pan and was hung in front of the main hall by King Pan."
"What?" The clam girls were in disbelief. There were even three or two clam girls who wanted to rush to King Pan's palace, but were pulled back by others.
A Clam Girl said, "Princess Jin was always very friendly to us Clam Demons, whether when the Red King was in power or when he was the King of Pan. Why has this happened now! We must find a way to rescue Princess Jin!"
"How to save!" Another clam girl said, "When King Pan seized the throne, he used the mark of the demon god to kill most of the demons close to the Red King of Haimodong. Those were all second- and third-level big demons. We But what can I do about the first-order little demon?"
"But..." some clam girls still said angrily, "Back then, the little princess was killed by King Pan just after she transformed. We didn't dare to care; now Princess Jin is about to be tortured and killed by King Pan, and we are still cowering. We From now on, just live in a clam shell, like those shrunken tortoises!"
Even though they were dissatisfied in their hearts, the clam girls understood how weak their strength was when they spoke of it. When they finally spoke harshly, they could only vent their anger back into their own holes.
The other clam girls, some sad and helpless, sighed and scattered away.
Zhao Ning returned to Yi Mei's cave according to her breath, and she released the little carp. The little carp fell to the ground and transformed, as if it had cried all its tears, and its whole expression was dull.
"Can we really not save our sister?" Little Carp asked Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning was silent for a moment and then said, "The possibility is very small. Even if Princess Jin is rescued and cannot find a way out, she will still be trapped and die here. By then, not only you and me, but the entire Beng clan will be implicated." .”
"Then find a way to leave." Little Carp said firmly.
But it's not that easy. Zhao Ning said, "Princess Jin said that as long as the mark of the demon god is broken, the entire Haimo Cave can be destroyed. Naturally, nothing can control us. I don't say whether such a method is feasible. I just say that Haimo Cave is We cannot accept the destruction of Modong and the destruction of many demon clans."
The little carp said nothing, and Zhao Ning added, "And you also discovered in that forbidden area that the mark of the demon god is not what we understand, and it also hides unknown secrets."
The little carp lowered his head, collapsed on the ground, slapped the ground in pain, shouted "Sister" over and over again, and cried over and over again, "Little incompetent."
At this time, a clam girl outside shouted, "Mei Yi, Granny Zhu is looking for you."
"Oh, here we come." Zhao Ning responded and then told the little carp, "You should rest here first and then wait. After we figure out the situation, there may be a turn for the better."
After saying that, Zhao Ning left.
Granny Zhu's cave is dotted with many pearls, which are all condensed by Granny Zhu with her own demon power. When they light up in the cave, they give a strange and bizarre illusion.
"Grandma Zhu, are you looking for me?"
When Zhao Ning saw Grandma Zhu, she was weaving a piece of clothing. The style and pattern were similar to the ones Zhao Ning gave to Princess Jin.
"Look at them, they know how to play and want everything. Grandma, I still can't bear it." Grandma Zhu smiled.
Zhao Ning sat on the stool next to her, "Grandma Zhu loves us the most. She said she rejected our sisters, but in fact she still knitted clothes for them."
"You are the best at talking." Grandma Zhu smiled, paused for a while, and her expression darkened, "Grandma, I heard about Princess Jin. Is she still hanging at the door of the hall?"
"Yeah." Zhao Ning lowered his head, "It's very humiliating."
Grandma Zhu sighed, "I remember back then, Princess Jin was also a proud and naive person. Now she is so humiliated but she still endures it with gritted teeth."
Zhao Ning was silent for a while, then looked up at Granny Zhu and suddenly asked, "Grandma Zhu, do you know what happened in Haimo Cave?"
Zhao Ning asked vaguely, but Grandma Zhu had lived for hundreds of years and had a clear mind.
While making clothes, she said, "These things are not new. In Dianlin Daze, such disputes between caves are too common."
Most of the area in Dianlin Daze was occupied by the demon clan, but many thousands of years ago the demon clan could only huddle in the mountains, and the demon clan in the water did not dare to go deep into Xianzhou Daze. But 200,000 years ago, the Dianlin Daze Feng Hong Xi Mian was born in the forest of Dian. No one knows what kind of monster he is. Some say he is an anaconda, while others say he is a demon crocodile. This is because it was not until Hong Xi Mian was promoted to Yuanshen that he emerged in Xianzhou, and In less than 100,000 years, he survived the three tribulations of the Yuan Shen and was promoted to Heavenly Lord.
In the past, Dianlin Daze was not called "Dianlin", but it was renamed because it was the birthplace of Tianzun.
The birth of the Demon Clan Heavenly Lord made Dianlin Daze the habitat of the Demon Clan. Even the Demon Clan from other continents sought refuge in Dianlin Daze.
Perhaps such a big move by the demon clan caused dissatisfaction among the other Daze human monks in Xianzhou. At one time, some sects even sent people to wipe out the demon clan near Daze. Dianlin Daze faced enemies on three occasions. The demon clan had already been suppressed before. The cultivation level is not high, and few can reach the fourth level.
Therefore, all the great demons knelt outside Fengdian Forest and begged Heavenly Lord for protection.
This request lasted a whole day, until one day, a sigh came from the Fengdian Forest. The Heavenly Lord did not appear, but he gave many strange talisman marks. Those with inherited memories can vaguely guess this. It is one of the sacrificial texts of the ancient demon clan. Those who have no inherited memory can also feel the majestic power hidden in the mark.
All the big monsters were overjoyed and scrambled for it. A total of more than 300 talisman marks were occupied, and they all took a look at their own territories.
The big demons enshrined the rune marks in the cave, and gradually they discovered that their own strength would be strengthened several times under the rune marks. This was what they discovered when they fought against the human monks. From then on, the momentum of the demon clan in Dianlin Daze increased. On several floors, with a small number of enemies and many enemies, they forcibly pushed back the human monks who were attacking from three sides back to their own swamp.
Some big demons took advantage of their victory and pursued other big marshes, hoping to expand their territory, but unexpectedly discovered that the further away from the Dianlin marsh, the strengthened strength would slowly return to its original state.
Helpless, the big demons could only stick to Dianlin Daze.
Years later, the overall situation in Xianzhou was stabilized again, and the Yao Clan's ruling power in Dianlin Daze was also recognized by the entire Xianzhou.
However, the demon clan is naturally aggressive and warlike, and not all big demons possess the more than 300 talisman marks, so the fight among you and me within Dianlin Daze began.
"This King Pan was once a subordinate of the Red King, but the Red King didn't value him very much and often punished him. I don't know when King Pan got disloyal. After he left Haimo Cave with the Red King, he came back. At that time, King Pan returned with the life pearl of the Red King in his hands." Granny Zhu recalled, "At that time, the entire Haimo Cave was frightened and ran away. At that time, Haimo Cave was not closed, but But King Pan forcibly captured all the demon clans, and in front of all the demon clans, he used the demon god's oracle to control the rune mark."
"He told the demons that he was the king of Haimo Cave and that he was an oracle. This god refers to Hong Xi Mian." Granny Zhu frowned, "But no one saw the content of the oracle, so he controlled it. The rune mark has sealed the entire Haimo Cave."
Obviously, what King Pan did was to prevent the demon clan of Haimodong from contacting the outside world and from escaping from Haimodong, leaving them with nowhere to go. In the end, they had no choice but to surrender to him and admit that he was the new king of Haimodong. .
Looking at it now, King Pan's plan has almost succeeded. At least in just a few days since Zhao Ning was in Haimo Cave, most of the demon clans have surrendered to the new king.
There is nothing wrong with fighting for territory, but...
Zhao Ning asked, "But that day when the sisters went to perform a dance in the main hall, someone presented more than two hundred life beads of the Red King's remnant party. Princess Jin also said that the life beads of the Red King's three thousand soldiers were also taken away. King Pan Do you want to devour their longevity?"
Granny Kezhu said, "The Life Pearl is a special demon elixir that our Dianlin Daze demon clan has formed under the mark of runes over the past hundred thousand years. For ordinary demon clan, the demon elixir can only be condensed at the third level. Once we draw Qi to practice, By gathering demonic power, we can be born. This makes us more powerful than ordinary demons. It is connected with the mark of the demon god. We are blessed by the mark of the demon god, so we believe in the demon god devoutly. Once the life beads are separated from the body, we will be protected by the mark of the demon god. The power gained will naturally be taken back by the demon god's mark, which to some extent will make the power of faith in the demon god's mark even stronger."
Listening to this statement, Zhao Ning always felt that there was something strange.
Granny Zhu had her own speculation, "Perhaps King Pan wanted to use this to show his loyalty to the demon god. However, the entire Dianlin Daze worshiped Hongxi as a god and believed in him devoutly. His short-lived power of faith was What else can it explain, why did Hongxi Mian notice him?"
She patted Zhao Ning's hand and said, "King Pan, he is cruel and stupid."
In this conversation, Zhao Ning finally understood that Princess Jin's last words were indeed correct. The only way to leave Haimo Cave was to rely on the demon god's mark, and the way was either to destroy the demon god's mark, or to seize Pan King's right to the demon god. Control of imprints.
Looking at it now, any method is extremely difficult.
At this moment, a panicked voice suddenly came from outside, "Granny Zhu, Granny Zhu, it's not good. Xiaozi and the others secretly ran to the main hall to save Princess Jin, but they were caught by King Pan's soldiers."
"What?!" Grandma Zhu suddenly stood up and looked at the Clam Girl who broke in in disbelief.
Ben Nu was at a loss and was extremely scared, "What should I do, Granny Zhu? They are going to hang Xiao Zi and the others together in the main hall."
Granny Zhu couldn't stand still and rushed forward a few steps. Zhao Ning caught up with her and supported Granny Zhu. Granny Zhu took Zhao Ning's hand and said, "No, we have to ask King Pan."
Granny Zhu was very insistent. When she walked out of the cave, all the nearby clam girls had heard the news and ran out.
