At the same time, in the Demon Realm, the Demon Lord had absolute ruling power. Below him were the four ancient families. They were the Snake Race, the Demon Dragon Race, the Demon Ox Race, and the Merman Race.
These four families had a deep foundation. They had stood in the Demon World for many years without falling. All of this was due to the powerful strength of these families and the timely judgment of the family heads. Therefore, when Hanba defeated the previous Devil Lord and became the new ruler of the Devil World a few hundred years ago, they chose to surrender without hesitation.
Currently, the patriarchs of the four great clans were promoted by Hanba after he took the position of the Devil Lord. At the same time, it allowed the prestige of the few great clans to develop further. The few of them were extremely grateful to Hanba for his help. It was to the extent that the four great clans were already loyal to Hanba during the few hundred years that Hanba was in power.
On the other side, the news of Hanba's return spread throughout the entire abyss as if it had grown wings. At the same time, it also broke the rumor that the Demon Lord had disappeared in the Demon Realm.
Lan Yu, who had brought the betrothal gifts to propose marriage, was also quickly called away by the people in the Demon Palace, leaving behind Ming, who sat there with a deep expression and looked at Lan Yu's back.
Perhaps, this would be the last time she would meet Lan Yu as lovers.
As he thought about it, Ming closed his eyes in pain and gripped the armrests of his chair tightly.
Lan Yu cursed in his heart, wondering why the Demon Lord's return was so " coincidental " as he hurriedly rushed into the Demon Palace.
In the end, when Lan Yu followed the guards to the Demon Lord's location, he raised his eyes and saw the Demon Lord, who had not woken up for a long time, standing at the head of the hall with his back to him.
"Demon Lord." Lan Yu bowed respectfully.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the palace was closed with a bang. Hanba then slowly turned around and sat down. He raised his eyes and gestured to Lan Yu to sit down.
"How is the situation in the Demon Realm recently?" Hanba's eyes flashed with a dark light as he asked in a deep voice.
"A month ago, the White Cloud Devour of the snake clan was attacked by someone. It didn't activate the barrier and quietly broke into your bedroom to assassinate you.”Lan Yu thought about what had happened recently and slowly replied," Recently, there have been rumors in the Demon Realm that you have disappeared from the Demon Realm, so you need a new Demon Lord. This has caused demons everywhere to rub their fists.”
Hanba's eyes darkened when he heard that. It was as if a layer of ice had formed on his entire body, causing Lan Yu's gaze to turn cold.
It had been a long time since they last met, and the Demon Lord's magic power had already reached a new level.
"Have you found out who it is?"
Lan Yu's face revealed a trace of arrogance. He was ashamed that he had not found the culprit for so long. He quickly got up and knelt down on one knee to apologize."Demon Lord, please punish this subordinate for not doing his job properly.”
The entire air in the palace froze instantly. The terrifying aura emitted from Hanba's body made Lan Yu bend down involuntarily. Cold sweat kept dripping down his forehead.
Just as Blue Universe thought that he couldn't escape punishment today, the magic power that was concentrated on his body instantly disappeared. Hanba's cold words were left in Lan Yu's ears,""I'll return in ten days. If I still can't find out the truth, then you'll go to the Abyss Prison to receive your punishment.”
When he raised his head again, Lan Yu could no longer see Hanba's figure.
"Yes." Lan Yu slowly replied. At the same time, he heaved a huge sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Demon Lord gave him time to investigate.
But when he thought of the Abyss Prison, Lan Yu's face turned sour again. That was because it was the place where the demons of the Demon Realm who had committed great crimes were imprisoned. It was located at the crater behind the Demon City and was roasted by the hot lava all year round. Furthermore, there were a total of nine levels in the Abyss Prison, and each level imprisoned demons with different sins. The further down the level, the crueler and more difficult the punishment was, which also meant that the crimes of the demons imprisoned were heavier.
Therefore, if he could not find the real murderer, he would have to go in and experience all the punishment. Then, he would probably be skinned alive if he did not die after coming out.
Therefore, in order to prevent him from going there, it was better to go back as soon as possible and mobilize the entire family's strength to investigate this matter carefully. It seemed that his wedding with Ming would have to be postponed.
At the same time, in Ming's mansion. Ming retreated all the guards and walked into his room alone. He silently opened the dark wall at the side and slowly walked in.
In an instant, the hidden wall was closed, and the candlesticks hanging on the wall slowly lit up. In an instant, the entire dark wall became bright.
Ming slowly walked down the stairs. After a while, he pushed open the door at the end of the stairs and entered the secret room.
In the middle of the empty chamber, there was a large, shining mirror.
Ming slowly walked into the mirror and looked at it with a deep gaze. After a while, the mirror showed a middle-aged man with a sinister appearance and strange patterns on his clothes.
When the middle-aged man saw Ming Hou, a hint of surprise and greed flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly smiled and looked at Ming Hou, who had a cold face, and said fawningly,"I've got what you wanted.”
"Give it to me." Ming said coldly. At the same time, she was very annoyed. If it wasn't for the people in her family forcing her, she wouldn't have cooperated with such a disgusting demon exorcist.
The middle-aged man, Qi Ming, revealed a scheming smile as he rubbed his hands together."It wasn't easy for me to get this thing. No matter what, you should give me some compensation, Ming.”
Upon hearing this, Ming's eyes flashed with killing intent. He did not like this demon exorcist very much, but when he remembered that the item was still in his hands, he could only ask coldly,"What do you want?"
"Hehehe." A wretched smile appeared on Qi Ming's face as he sized up Ming with an obscene gaze." I want to touch your chest."”
After he finished speaking, Ming's killing intent could no longer be concealed and erupted. In an instant, cracks appeared on the wall of the room, and the mirror in front of him also had the same cracks.
At the same time, Qi Ming, who was on the other side of the mirror, also felt Ming's unconcealed killing intent. He immediately felt a little afraid and uneasy, hurriedly waving his hand and saying,"I don't want it. I was just joking.”
"Give it to me." Ming's expression was like a demon that had crawled out of the abyss, causing Qi Ming to shiver involuntarily.
"Good, good, good." Qi Ming was shocked by Ming's imposing manner and hurriedly nodded in agreement. He then placed the Demon Lord's hair into a teleportation array that had been prepared beforehand.
The moment he sent it over, a pile of dazzling gold appeared in front of Qi Ming, causing him to grin. The communication in the mirror in front of him disappeared completely when Ming received the item.
Qi Ming happily took the gold and nibbled on it. After confirming that it was real, he was even happier. Although he couldn't touch Ming as he wished, with this gold, he could touch whoever he wanted in the brothels of the human world.
When Ming took Hanba's mortal hair and walked out of the room, he looked up and met a pair of fiery eyes that were filled with anticipation. The corner of Ming's mouth twitched involuntarily.
"You got it?" Xue Haoming asked anxiously.
He nodded expressionlessly. This action made Xue Haoming look ecstatic. He walked back and forth excitedly and said incoherently," This is great. They can finally succeed."
Seeing this, Ming's eyes darkened and he lowered his eyes slightly. His face instantly revealed a sad expression that made one's heart ache. If one looked closely, one would see a drop of crystal clear tears slowly flowing down Ming's cheek and splashing everywhere the moment it touched the floor.
I really have to say goodbye to you this time, Lan Yu. But I don't want to leave you!
Ming, who was happy about their great plan, naturally did not notice this situation. After he calmed down a little, he turned around and happily said to Ming,"I'm going to tell this good news to the elders." Then, he quickly left the courtyard.
Tu Liuming stood alone under the eaves with her head lowered, making it impossible for others to see her expression clearly. However, the moment Xue Haoming left, drops of tears fell from her cheeks continuously, reflecting a dazzling light under the sunlight.
At the same time, at the intersection of the two worlds. The Heavenly soldiers in thick woolen clothes held their halberds and looked at the land of ice and snow in a daze.
Three thousand years ago, this place wasn't covered in boundless ice and snow. At that time, although this was the only passageway between the two worlds, it was the most beautiful place in the three worlds because it gathered the spiritual qi of heaven and earth.
However, due to the tragic war that the Demon Realm launched three thousand years ago, this place became a sea of blood. In the end, due to the spiritual power riot, this place was instantly frozen. Hence, the ice did not melt all year round and looked extremely cold today.
But today was different from the past. When the heavenly soldiers who were leisurely guarding the border between the two worlds suddenly noticed a large number of armored and armed demon soldiers coming from the demon world, their relaxed expressions were replaced by seriousness. They immediately blew the horn in their hands to inform the castle of the situation here.
The moment the horn sounded, the Heavenly soldiers of the guardians immediately moved in an orderly manner. They took their weapons and went to their respective posts. They focused on the situation of the advancing Demon soldiers not far away and prepared to fight.
When the Heavenly Army General, Slave Feng, who was resting, received the news, he immediately rushed to the top of the city wall and looked at the Demon soldiers that were coming straight at them with a solemn expression.
"This bunch of brats, they actually openly violated the armistice agreement signed back then.”Slave Feng gnashed his teeth in anger. He shouted at everyone in a deep voice," Guard this place! Don't let me pass a single Demon soldier!"”
At the same time, they were worried that the city's defenses were insufficient and they lacked manpower. Even Yu Yuan would return at this moment. The situation was very unfavorable for them. If they fought today, they would probably die here.
But even if he died in battle, he would never let these bastards pass. At this moment, Slave Feng's face was filled with determination. His eyes were filled with obvious anger as he stared at the Demon soldiers. The aura that he exuded made the Heavenly soldiers around him tremble uncontrollably.
General, quickly withdraw your terrifying spiritual power. We can't stand it!
