Shiyan Palace, in front of the golden steps of the palace.
Many living beings were sitting on the long wooden tables on both sides in order, eating delicacies and fresh fruits, making soup and jade banquets, and what you saw was full of hustle and bustle.
Lion Yan Demon King is tall, wearing a crown of pearl horns and wings, and a wide golden robe.
The usually majestic face of this humanoid demon king was now full of humility. He held up a cup of wine in both hands and smiled at Taoist Wangxu at the top of the table: "Envoy, Xiao Wang, there is a person here. I’m sorry.”
Taoist Wangxu was the envoy of the Lingxi Mountain sect, and he was obviously not interested in the banquet in front of him. He played with the wine cup in his hand, glanced sideways at Demon King Shi Yan, and said lazily: "As a demon king, Lord of the city, there is no need to be so polite."
The Lion and Camel Demon King held the wine cup, winked at the waiter beside him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has traveled thousands of miles to come to our Lion and Camel Demon City. The little king did not treat you well, so he prepared some small gifts and gave them to you. I hope the envoy will accept it."
The waiter on the side immediately brought out a white jade tray and served it respectfully.
Taoist Wangxu was originally leaning on the throne, looking half-dead. He obviously didn't think that a demon king with divine creation realm could come up with anything good in this remote place.
However, when he saw the tray from the corner of his eye, he immediately narrowed his eyes, sat up straight, and said with a smile on his face: "The Demon King Shiyan is really rich, he even has a Calming Pill."
Demon King Shi Yan said with a smile on his face: "I have accumulated a lot of experience in the state of divine creation. If you want to pry into the true state of divine enlightenment, you can't do without the help of this elixir. Xiao Wang is very considerate and hopes to see you." Don't refuse."
Taoist Wangxu was not polite to him, and put the "Calming Pill" on the jade plate into his sleeve, and his smile became much more sincere: "If the Demon King has something to do, just speak up, there is no need to be so polite. "
"Shi Xiu, come and see the envoy!"
Shi Yan Yao Wang leaned sideways and waved.
A young woman wearing armor walked up next to him and bowed respectfully to Taoist Wangxu.
Demon King Shi Yan looked a little worried and said: "The good envoy has learned that the little girl Shi Xiu is in her twenties, and she was able to ignite her life last year. I wonder if the envoy can take her to Lingxi Mountain with her?"
Taoist Wangxu glanced at Shi Xiu, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "This woman's bone age is a bit too much, and she is a mixture of demon and human race. This may not be in compliance with the rules..."
Hearing this, Demon King Shiyan showed a look of disappointment that could not be concealed, and the young woman also lowered her head and almost shed tears.
Taoist Wangxu looked incomprehensible, and tapped the handle of the throne with his fingers, saying: "If a few more of the calming pills are used to clear the pass in the mountain, this matter is not entirely impossible."
Demon King Shi Yan sighed and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, you should know that the spiritual tax our Shitu Demon City pays to Lingxi Mountain every year is 40%, and the spiritual tax paid to Lingluo Palace is also 40%, plus There is not much surplus left among the demon generals and demon soldiers raised up and down the territory of Shangyao City. I got this priceless calming pill by chance, but there is not a single one left. "
Taoist Wangxu took a sip of the wine in the cup, and his eyes became cold again.
Although a calming pill is precious, it is not enough to make him break the rules.
Demon King Shi Yan turned his head and glanced at his daughter who was weeping secretly. His heart became more and more painful, and he ordered the waiter: "Go and get the package I gave to the envoy."
After a while, the waiter brought another tray, which contained many precious treasures. However, for Taoist Wangxu who had seen the big world, he could not look down upon the things that ordinary creatures in front of him were crazy about.
Putting these things into his sleeves very casually, Taoist Wangxu leaned on the throne with a mysterious look on his face and said: "Monster Lion Yan, I am also very considerate of your love for your daughter. Seeing that you are so sincere. , I will give you another way to go, if you really want her to go to Lingxi Mountain to practice, there is another way."
Lion Yan Demon King looked startled and said hurriedly: "My little king is stupid, please give me some instructions!"
The young woman wearing armor also looked up.
Taoist Wangxu stretched out his robe sleeves, pointed at the eight stone platforms heading towards here on the sky, and said with a smile: "Among these eight stone platforms, there are the close ones recruited by Lingxi Mountain in the Shitu Demon City. Hundreds of creatures, each of them holds a test token, which represents the certificate to enter Lingxi Mountain for practice. If you can get one of them to give up his qualifications to enter the mountain and voluntarily give up the test token, I can change this order The name taboo in the card, enter your daughter into it."
Before Lion Yan Demon King could speak, Shi Xiu took a step forward and said with a firm expression, "Father, I don't want to go to Lingxi Mountain anymore. There's nothing wrong with staying here."
Taoist Wangxu looked at Shi Xiu with interest and said: "You, this girl, are really interesting. Do you know that the difference between leaving and staying here seems simple, but in fact it is the difference between heaven and earth? "
Shi Xiu's eyes were clear and he said: "Because of this, I understand even more that no one is willing to give up their qualifications to enter the mountain and give it to others."
"Stupid!" Demon King Lion Yan looked at her with an angry look on his face, "Shut up now!"
Shi Xiu felt aggrieved, but still retreated behind him, not daring to say another word.
While he was talking, the eight stone platforms above the night sky descended on the square in front of the palace one after another. The mysterious energy spread out, causing bursts of blazing and bright sparks.
Many of the green-robed disciples above him all looked solemn, and they all saluted Master Wangxu and said, "We have seen the envoy who leads the way!"
Invisible sound waves scattered in all directions and rolled across the square in front of the palace, making many monsters during the banquet turn pale and pale in shock!
Whether it is the Qingpao disciples or the monsters in the Lion and Camel Monster City, most of them are in the Life Fire Tongxuan realm, but the aura exuded by the two is completely different!
Any Qingpao disciple has the terrifying strength to easily crush more than ten monsters from the Lion and Camel Monster City!
"Without courtesy," Taoist Wangxu waved his hand casually and looked sideways at the Lion and Camel Demon King, "The time is limited. For the sake of that calming pill, if you don't make a decision, I will leave right now. "
The face of the lion and camel demon king changed, he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment!"
He flicked his robe sleeves, walked down the golden steps of the palace, and led many creatures from the Lion-Camel Demon City to the eight stone platforms. His face had already restored the majesty of the Lord of the Lion-Camel Demon City and the Demon King of the Divine Creation Realm.
On those stone platforms, there were more than ninety creatures from the Lion and Camel Demon City who had passed the test.
The Lion Demon King is majestic. Although these creatures are about to leave here, wherever the Lion Demon King's eyes pass, these creatures still can't help but avoid looking at him.
"Is there anyone who is willing to give up his qualifications to enter the mountain? I am willing to reward him with an imperial palace, eight thousand pieces of spiritual treasure, plus many cultivation resources that I can provide!"
Demon King Shi Yan summoned his demonic power and spoke in a deep voice, and his voice spread throughout the square in front of Nuo University.
Silence fell.
On the stone platform, many disciples in green robes had expressionless faces, while those who passed the test lowered their heads. For a moment, the place was as quiet as death.
Demon King Shi Yan showed anxiety and spoke again: "I am willing to reward two imperial palaces and fifteen thousand pieces of spiritual treasure! Plus five magic weapons, you can choose at your will!"
Still no one spoke.
Everyone knows that Lingxi Mountain is one of the two most powerful traditions within a radius of 50,000 miles.
And this lion and camel demon city is just a remote outlying village in the corner, with a radius of no more than a thousand miles. If placed in the huge Lingxi Mountain boundary, it would not even make a splash.
At this time, there is a chance to reach the sky, and no one is willing to give up.
Taoist Wangxu had a look of impatience on his face and said: "Shiyan Demon King, since no one is willing to take the initiative to give up his qualifications, you will create a vacancy that is willing to give up your qualifications. Let me remind you that the time is almost up."
Lion Yan Demon King showed a ruthless look on his face, and with his cold eyes wandering around, he randomly selected a red-eyed rabbit demon and said in a cold voice: "Pull it out for me!"
Many Imperial City guards rushed onto the stone platform, passed by the green-robed disciples, and directly dragged out the red-eyed rabbit demon!
"I have passed the test! I will soon be a disciple of Lingxi Mountain! I am not willing to give up this qualification!"
The red-eyed rabbit demon was frightened and angry, and his voice was shrill with hatred!
Lion Yan Demon King silently stepped forward and struck out with a fierce palm!
boom!
The red-eyed rabbit demon didn't even say a word before his head was smashed to pieces. The turbid red and white things splashed everywhere, making all the creatures around him look fearful and dodge away in all directions!
A green-robed disciple leaped forward, presented a test token, and said: "Guide, this creature died before entering the mountain, and the token has no owner."
Taoist Wangxu took the blank test token, and while carving Shi Xiu's name, he smiled at Demon King Shiyan and said: "Demon King, according to Qingqiu's law, those who kill living beings without reason must pay for their wealth or their lives. Now I am Your supervisor, how are you going to repay this demon?”
There was scarlet blood remaining between the palms of Demon King Shiyan's hands, and he said in a cold voice: "I would like to offer 20,000 pieces of spiritual treasure to many fellow Taoists to buy some wine money."
Immediately, a guard brought many smaller trays and gave them to the Qingpao disciples. After this, almost everyone received hundreds of pieces of Lingxiu.
The disciple in green robe who took out the token just now took away the spirit, smiled, walked to Shi Xiu, and said: "Junior sister Shi Xiu, come with me. If there is anything unclear along the way, just ask me. .”
Shi Xiu bit her lip hard, lowered her head, and followed the green-robed disciple onto the stone platform without saying a word.
The other green-robed disciples on the stone platform also smiled and nodded towards Shi Xiu.
Although to them, a few hundred pieces of Lingxiu was not much, but after all, it was an unexpected windfall, which was better than nothing.
"Shiyan Demon King, I'll be leaving soon."
Taoist Wangxu jumped onto a stone platform at will, looked down at this place, and smiled at the Lion Yan Demon King.
Lion Yan Demon King cupped his hands and said: "We will respectfully send you to your envoy!"
Many creatures in the Lion and Camel Imperial City also said loudly: "We will respectfully send you the envoy!"
Eight stone platforms rose into the sky, getting smaller and smaller, and finally completely disappeared into the night, disappearing without a trace.
Lion Yan Demon King looked cold as he turned his head and ordered: "Find out the relatives, upper and lower clans of the red-eyed rabbit demon, and kill them all."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
When several Imperial City guards filed out, they disappeared into the darkness of the night.
After an unknown amount of time, a look of exhaustion appeared on the majestic face of the Lion and Tuo Demon King. He sighed deeply and whispered: "The creatures in the Lion and Tuo territory are all my people. How can I feel this way?"
He walked up the golden steps of the palace alone, and his originally tall figure turned out to be a little rickety.
Qingqiu's luck stretches for millions of miles. Even if you can pay for your crime with money after violating Qingqiu's laws, your soul cultivation will be gradually abandoned by Qingqiu's luck until there is no chance of breaking through.
I don't know since when, the real realm of divine illumination that seemed so close at hand has turned into a dream and become so far out of reach for this demon king who dominates an area.
