Chapter 559: Tit for Tat
At the banquet of your return, all the demon ministers also showed subtle and strange expressions.
Earlier, I heard that there was a little demon cat in the Chaomu Palace that made His Majesty very happy. When I saw it today, it was indeed a great favor.
Since His Majesty succeeded to the throne, they have seen His Majesty show such obvious gaffes.
Mi Mi, who was sitting in the Young Master's seat, looked even more gloomy. When he saw the cat in Ning Feiyan's arms, the wound on his back started to hurt again.
In front of everyone, Balian couldn't bear to disobey her, so he jumped on the royal table, picked up the tender piece of fish and ate it.
Seeing him obediently eating the fish, His Majesty the Demon King calmed down a little, and then he put down his chopsticks.
The leyline fire flowing in the long steps is swaying, illuminating the broken beads of the crown to form an ink-painted eyebrow.
The demon king is born with a good appearance, a naturally rich and charming face, and is clearly dressed in the solemn and solemn robe of the Xuanjun, but for no reason it reminds people of the story in the book of strange stories that makes the young masters and scholars flutter. evildoer.
She put her arms around her and held Bailian softly in her arms, her expression and appearance were no different from before.
A faint red mark of beheading can still be seen between the fair and slender neck, which is the trace left by the execution of the owl's head back then.
As a corpse demon, Bailian's sense of smell is particularly sensitive to the smell of blood, and the five common tastes are difficult to find.
But now that he was trapped in the Demon Lord's arms, he could always faintly smell a faint fragrance.
The taste is very light, but the meaning is extremely long. If you don't smell it carefully, it is extremely difficult to smell it.
This light fragrance is definitely not emitted from the body of the Demon King, because Balian found that every time she was in a bad mood, she would stay alone for a while, and even he could not easily near.
When she appeared in front of people again, she had this mysterious aura about her.
And this time after she came out of the Xuanting Cave in retreat, this light fragrance became particularly easy to capture.
Thinking of this, Balian couldn't help but raise his head and look at her a few more times, and saw that the cruelty between her eyebrows was a bit deeper and more terrifying than before.
This year’s return banquet will probably end in a bloody battle.
Bailian felt a little restless for no reason, and had a vague feeling that something beyond his control was likely to happen soon.
He subconsciously glanced in the direction of Ning Feiyan twice more, but saw that she looked as usual. At some point, she changed the wine in the pot to tea, and she was chatting and laughing in harmony with the demon ministers who were toasting to him.
If her face hadn't been whiter than the fox fur around her neck at this moment, Balian would have really doubted whether this woman's injury was serious.
At this time, outside the Earth Meridian Tianzhu, the crow demon group suddenly separated in two directions.
The periphery of the Jungui Banquet is not as good as the main banquet, and is full of demons, but it is extremely difficult to be able to separate a path so quickly and with such tacit understanding.
The demons from all sides bowed their heads and made surrender gestures.
A black war horse and a golden chariot appeared on the road where the demonic group separated.
The war horse was three times taller than an ordinary horse. It was extremely majestic, and its eyes with blue flames were extremely fierce.
The aura is more dangerous and terrifying than that of monsters and beasts. A car and a horse, driving on the road, create a force of thousands of troops.
Even the flow of fire under the throne was obviously stagnant under the threat of this aura.
What is even more striking is that the black war horse actually has a dragon horn on its forehead.
Obviously, this horse has the blood of descendants of the dragon clan flowing in its body.
Since the last true dragon in the world disappeared and the ancient dragon perished, it has been difficult to find another dragon in the six realms and four seas.
The blood of the dragon clan has been thin and extremely precious since ancient times. Even the descendants of the dragon clan with mixed blood are extremely rare.
All the demons showed expressions of emotion. They saw the black horse pulling the golden chariot under the altar. The curtains of the chariot parted without any wind, and a man who looked like he was no more than thirteen or fourteen years old appeared. The girl stepped out of the carriage.
War horses and golden chariots are all dressed up to attend.
On the contrary, the owner of this carriage was dressed in a slovenly attire.
Maybe she is really not good at this, or maybe she is indifferent to etiquette by nature.
The girl's facial features are very delicate. Although she is not tall enough, she has an amazing appearance. Her short gray skirt reaches her knees, and her calves that fall outside the skirt are slender and straight.
A silver metal ring was extremely magical and floated around her ankle as if it was weightless. Her skin was the color of ice and snow, and her waist was extremely small.
It’s just that her face has not been retouched and her hair is messy, like a little girl who was forcibly pulled out of bed before she woke up. Her eyes are huge but lifeless, giving people a dull and indifferent feeling. .
But no one here dared to treat her like an ordinary little girl.
Except for the Demon Lord, everyone in the room stood up to greet him, including the young Demon Lord who had not recovered from his serious injury.
“I have met Master Shouhe.”
Shu Ci ignored them. Her young figure left the carriage, but her feet as naked as white snow did not fall on the ground. , like a little god, floating all the way to his seat without wading in the human world or touching the ground.
After she sat down, others dared to take their seats again.
After taking a seat, the atmosphere at the banquet was inevitably a bit depressing and dull.
Although Shuci has a very high status in the demon world, his seniority is second only to the Demon Lord.
Over the years, His Majesty the Demon Lord has been sealed under the Bronze Gate, and Shaojun Milu has even spent most of his own resources to support him.
There are also rumors in the royal city that in these years when the demon king is no longer around, in order to frighten the righteousness of the immortal sect, Shaojun Milu even intends to let Master Shuci temporarily take over the position of the demon king.
It’s just that now that the Demon King has returned and Yihe is in the spotlight, now that these two powerful men are together, I don’t know what kind of sparks will be wiped out.
They could clearly see that Master Shuci had just arrived, but he took his seat directly without paying any courtesy to His Majesty the Demon King.
Some bold people secretly glanced at His Majesty the Demon Lord's face with uneasy thoughts.
But I saw His Majesty lowering his head and plucking the cat's whiskers. It is true that those whiskers had been touched by Master Sihe.
Milu Shaojun's seat is not far from Shuci, and everyone has long been tacitly aware of the rumor that the two of them formed their own faction in private.
Mi Lu was also a bold and unruly master. He raised his wine glass towards Shu Ci without hesitation and said, "Master Shu Ci is late, but I will punish myself with three glasses of wine."
< br>
Shu Ci's empty and indifferent eyes rolled slightly. Although she was born delicate, her temperament was extremely strange. The look in the eyes of other women was so vivid and amorous.
When she came here, her eyes rolled slightly, but they were like a delicate puppet. Her eyes moved stiffly, neither lively nor charming, but more chilling.
She didn’t say much, just filled herself with three cups and drank them all.
Although it was a bit perfunctory, after all, he still did not ignore Mr. Milu like others. But you must know that not just anyone can make Shu Ci drink three cups of fine wine.
Shaojun Milu's face suddenly felt bright. He drank the wine in his glass with great satisfaction and wanted to continue talking to her.
But Shu Ci withdrew his gaze and looked at Ning Feiyan with an indifferent expression: "You are lucky."
Ning Feiyan had a strange look in his eyes, and then smiled. : "It's just so so, Lord Shouhe is overly praised."
"It's a pity that you won't survive the day after the Jungui Banquet ends." Her voice was faint, like a pool of black stagnant water.
Many people at the table showed strange and strange expressions.
Ning Feiyan was seriously injured by the Jiaolong clan, and the outside world heard about it.
Today's Jungui Banquet is also known as the River Washing Banquet. Sanhe is mysterious and Liuhe has not yet come to this world, so she naturally becomes the best target for everyone to take advantage of.
Many of the demon generals here are indeed targeting Ning Feiyan. The demons have always believed in the law of the jungle.
But Ning Feiyan has always had a good reputation and made friends everywhere. Both male and female demon generals have a good impression of her. Most of the demons want to defeat her and let her go. Just surrender.
There are very few people who really want to kill her. Shu Ci’s words are inevitably a bit chilling.
Ning Feiyan was not annoyed, and still smiled good-naturedly: "Life and death depend on each other for blessings and misfortunes, and the future has yet to be decided."
At this time, the sound of ancient bells rang in the east sky.
Everyone has arrived, and all the demon clans have returned to the King’s banquet. Today’s grand banquet officially begins.
The Demonic Land is vast and has a vast territory.
The Royal City is the capital where the monarch of the demon world lives. However, the demon world and the human world have some similarities in the order of the country. This is a demon soil force built by various forces, with the demon king as the leader. , there are also countless powerful affiliated demon forces in all directions.
The banquet of your return does not just start with the important event of washing the river. On top of the feast, there are many important matters of the country that need to be resolved.
“Your Majesty went south five days ago, destroyed the Nine Snakes alone, summoned the Nine Netherworld Thunder, and destroyed all the lands and rivers in one day. It was difficult to live in the dry land, and desolation and death spread. There is no longer a clan of the Nine Snakes in the world. Said that even other small countries close to the Nine Snake Tribe were also affected by the disaster
As the saying goes, the king's anger will destroy all directions. Your Majesty's words and deeds are related to the foundation of the world. Your Majesty has just returned to the demon world, and you would do such a killing. I am confused in my heart, and I hope your Majesty can be kind and solve it. Confused. "
The speaker is an old man with a goatee.
He is from the Qingyang tribe, and his territory intersects with the Nine Snakes First Division. Over the years, he has had a good secret relationship with the Nine Snakes First Division.
There have been secret ANBU transactions all year round, and the destruction of the Nine Snakes clan is nothing more than a painful loss for the Qingyang tribe.
Bailian knew that the things in those documents were secrets. The old man may not have known about the rebellion of the Jiaolong clan. The Nine Snakes were subordinate to the Jiaolong clan and were no different from the rebels in the heart of the demon king.
In other words, the old man knew it early on, but now he pretends not to know.
Because the Demon Lord has returned for the first time, there must be many forces in the Demon World that are against her. Now they are just taking this opportunity to cause trouble.
As expected, Young Master Milu, who was playing with the wine glass, sneered and took over the topic, saying: "Your Majesty succeeded to the position of Demon Lord when he was young. When my father died, I had many doubts about Your Majesty's abilities. It's just that The situation was so critical that the old man had no choice but to pass the message to Your Majesty before his death
It's all right. You are a half-remnant of the Abandoned Demon. He has always been worried about you and tried his best to leave a residual consciousness attached to Ling Yu. Every major decision you make must go through your father's order. Only when Yu's consciousness agrees can he act.
What? Now that he went to the Bronze Gate to play, His Majesty forgot the rules and dared to massacre his own people on his own? "
He addressed each other with the honorific 'you', but the contemptuous and sarcastic meaning in his words was not concealed at all.
The female demon king obviously had a mind far above him, and in front of the group of demons Even though her minister spoke so lightly, she still didn't show any trace of emotion on her face. Shui glanced at her and stopped the countless whispers in the audience.
She said calmly: "Brother Cai also said just now that it is a major matter for the country before you can ask your father for help. The Little Rebellious Nine Snakes, part one, went against my wishes, so I’ll kill you if you don’t want to. ”
Milu ‘Oh? ' He shouted: "The little Nine Snakes don't even have a demon cultivator who has transcended the tribulation realm. How dare they do something rebellious?" I have always longed to get married with the Jiaolong clan. , this time it is just a matter of attachment and rebellion."
Milu's eyes suddenly became aggressive: "If it is attachment and rebellion, then it will be determined by the laws of the devil world, and this crime will not bring harm to the whole clan. .
Even if they are guilty, they are the people of my demon world. The land they step on is also the territory of my demon world. Your Majesty’s lone act is to commit genocide and massacre for the sake of a cat, destroying my territory and leaving no grass growing for thousands of years. I’m afraid it is inevitable that he will end up like this. A faint "Your name?"
The old man with the goatee burst into tears: "It's pity that I, the Qingyang tribe, have been loyal for generations. I have never done anything rebellious, but I have also suffered from the consequences."
Amidst the old man's cries, some people felt that this matter was a bit of a fuss.
Since he is a traitor, he will be killed when he is killed, and destroyed when he is destroyed. Why do you do this gesture?
How can His Majesty’s majesty be offended by such trivial matters?
But some people think that there are laws in the world, and there is no square without rules. It is precisely because he is the monarch above all demons that he should set an example. How can he kill on his own like a butcher with blood spattered five steps away?
What’s more, it’s for a cat.
Isn't this ridiculous?
The flag on the high platform was flying, and under the reflection of the fire, the flag was as deep and solemn as blood.
The demon king sat leisurely at the highest place, as if he could not feel the pressure from his whole body. He caressed the cat gently and looked at all living beings, taking in a panoramic view of the dancing demons under the stage.
The indifferent eyes seemed arrogant, as if they were looking at a group of clowns.
She smiled softly, showing her contempt: "I have destroyed the clan; I have killed the people; brother, are you planning to settle accounts for the Nine Snakes clan?"
Milu raised the corner of his mouth slightly stiffly, and he didn't like her calmness and contempt.
He narrowed his cold eyes and said: "Your Majesty is serious. I will not offend you for the traitor. I just think that your Majesty has the power to reach the sky, so why waste your cultivation strength to destroy a small person?" Small earthworm.
The culprit is the Dragon Clan far away in Youchuan Daze, not to mention the evil spirits suppressing the thirteen cities of Qingzhou in recent days.
The evil spirits are in chaos and evil. When the door opens, just suppressing and repairing the barrier will end. After all, it's just treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Instead of going on a killing spree for a cat, if you really have the ability, it's better to catch a few dragons and sacrifice them with blood. Today's King's Return Banquet will strengthen my power, and use the blood sacrifice array to kill those evil spirits. The town was re-established in the last 180 years Yes, our soldiers who defended the battle suffered in vain.”
“There is no point in trying to show off one’s power by catching a few flies. The dragon has been rampant for thousands of years, but I am the only one who dares to take action to suppress it. A town.
Your Majesty has not suppressed the Jiaolong Clan for a long time. Could it be that you are afraid of the ferocious dragon in Youchuan Daze? Also, in recent years, the Jiaolong Clan has been repeatedly defeated by those who have overcome the tribulation. What's more, when I heard that the power of the dragon vein has been awakened, it is understandable that His Majesty is afraid. "
Milu respects her as a demon king on the road, but the jealousy and ridicule in his words cannot be hidden: "If these troublesome things cannot be solved, I advise your majesty to sort out the major issues in the world one by one. I leave it to my father to make the decision. Although my father is dead, just a single thought is far beyond the reach of your majesty. ”
The orthodox royal family is still the orthodox royal family after all, and the contempt and arrogance in the bones will not disappear even if the bones are broken.
After all, in Milu’s eyes, the current high-ranking demon king is different from the former ruler of the wasteland. They are both dirty and abandoned.
I am not feeling well today, so I will postpone the update until tomorrow. Sorry, I will update everyone the day after tomorrow. It is really hard today.
