Chapter 650 Surrounded
Seeing the different expressions on the faces of these old foxes, how could the Demon Emperor not know what they were plotting?
He smiled and said, "In three days, I will marry the Demon Queen. Everyone must come and have a drink at the wedding."
All the demon kings present were startled.
The Tengshe Demon King asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, you wish to establish an empress? Whose daughter is she?"
He also wanted to persuade the Demon King to marry a woman from his clan, so that they could become even closer relatives.
The Phoenix Clan Chief's eyes flashed: "Could it be that disciple of the Beast Taming Sect?"
The Demon Emperor smiled: "Indeed, I have already brought her here, and the wedding will take place in three days."
After their marriage, he used the pretext of raising the young master to lock her up in the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons, to see who could still covet her.
The demon kings looked at each other.
Didn't they say the attempt to steal the bride failed? He actually succeeded!
So, the baby dragon is now in his hands!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
The Soul-Stealing Insect Demon King stepped forward first and bowed respectfully, "Our demon race is finally about to welcome a Demon Queen. Let us celebrate together!"
The Tengshe Demon King forced a smile: "Why didn't Your Majesty inform us earlier so that I could prepare a congratulatory gift?"
Several divine beast clan leaders also stepped forward to offer their congratulations, but what they were really thinking remained a mystery.
The White Tiger Clan Chief, hot-tempered and impatient, stepped forward first and asked, "Your Majesty, where is the young master? I wish to see the young master; please introduce me!"
The clan leaders also seized the opportunity to say, "Now that the young master has appeared, we should pay our respects to him. Please, Your Majesty, introduce us!"
The Demon Emperor smiled faintly and said unhurriedly, "The young master is currently being raised by the Demon Queen. After the grand wedding, you may pay your respects to them."
The demons present immediately realized that the young dragon was still in the hands of that Beast Taming Sect disciple!
The Phoenix Clan Chief thought to himself, "There's still a chance!"
Once the Demon Emperor and that woman sign the Pact of Unity, won't the young dragon be firmly in his grasp?
We need to think of a way to sabotage this marriage!
He and the clan leaders exchanged glances and nodded slightly, everything understood without a word.
The main hall was rife with undercurrents, each person harboring their own secrets and their eyes concealing hidden malice.
Suddenly, the Demon Emperor's eyes sharpened.
He received a telepathic message from the Left Protector, Shadow, that Hu Xueji had returned empty-handed, and most of the servants who delivered the betrothal gifts had been killed or injured!
The Demon Emperor's expression changed drastically. A dignified Nascent Soul demon had been rendered so pathetic by a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator!
Could it be that another baby dragon has emerged?
He said in a deep voice, "Everyone, please step back for now."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The demons bowed and took their leave.
After leaving the main hall, each demon king secretly sent a message to their subordinates, instructing them to quickly inquire about the matter.
After the Demon Emperor captured that Beast Taming Sect disciple, where did he hide her?
I noticed the Demon Emperor's expression was strange just now; something must have happened again!
After the demon kings left, the demon emperor roared, "Get back in here!"
Hu Xueji entered the main hall tremblingly, prostrated herself on the ground, and cried, "Your Majesty, I have failed in my duties. Please punish me!"
"What exactly happened?"
Hu Xueji then recounted the whole story.
"...Her Highness the Demon Queen secretly set up a demon-slaying formation, activating it while we were presenting the betrothal gifts. Most of the servants were killed or injured, and I was almost injured by the formation myself..."
Hu Xueji cried out, her face streaked with tears, looking utterly pitiful.
The Demon Emperor wasn't buying it and coldly said, "You failed in your duties. Go and receive your punishment."
"Yes!"
Hu Xueji turned pale and retreated tremblingly.
The Demon Emperor was also greatly surprised. According to Hu Xueji's description, the sword light of the Demon-Slaying Formation was fierce and unstoppable. It must have been set up in advance by True Lord Chonghua.
This Nascent Soul sword cultivator, born with a sword bone, truly lives up to his reputation!
But what puzzled him was that, even if the Demon-Slaying Array could be activated under the confinement of the Spirit-Locking Maze, it shouldn't have such power!
Could it be that the little girl has some kind of magic weapon that can resist the spirit-sealing technique of the Spirit-Locking Demon Array?
The disciples of major sects are indeed not to be underestimated!
However, he was still very confident in his Spirit-Locking Demon Array. No matter what kind of magic weapon or array it was, it still needed spiritual power to drive it in the end. Let's see how long the little girl can last.
"Have Snow Wolf and Black Bear each lead a team to invite the Demon Queen!"
The Demon Emperor gave the order in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
After Jiang Li was abducted to the Demon Realm by the Shadow Sting, she was actually imprisoned in the Mist Spirit Valley at the foot of Wanren Peak. The valley was shrouded in mist all day long, making it a perfect place to set up a spirit-locking demon array.
Within the spirit-locking array, spiritual energy is gradually devoured, eventually turning it into a forbidden zone for spirits.
However, under the protection of Xie Chang'an's Seven Star Demon-Slaying Formation, the courtyard was still full of life and laughter.
The little snow wolf and the little black bear ate too much. Xie Chang'an couldn't grill all the fish by himself, so Jiang Li called out Huichun Teng to help.
With countless vines of the Rejuvenating Ivy joining in, the barbecue speed increased dramatically, finally allowing Xie Chang'an to take a breather.
The two little cubs were very envious and were thinking that when they got back they would also recruit a vine demon as a follower, and make him grill fish every day!
Jiang Li chuckled, "Don't be so wishful thinking. Little Vine is a housekeeper carefully trained by Aunt Lian. She's an all-rounder. How could an ordinary vine demon know how to do housework?"
At this moment, Xie Chang'an transmitted his voice, "They've arrived!"
Jiang Li stiffened: "Brother Chang'an, you should go back to the Dragon Palace first."
Xie Chang'an and Taixu are her trump cards and her solid backing for dominating the demon realm in the future; they cannot be exposed!
"Alright, be careful, and whatever you do, don't confront them directly."
Xie Chang'an instructed, "I will protect you at all times."
"Yeah, don't worry."
Xie Chang'an carved a bunch of sword talismans for her, and even gave her the protective talisman given to him by the Purple Sun Sword Master—a purple-gold sword talisman that sealed the Purple Sun Sword Master's three sword energies.
Jiang Li felt that she could rout the demon army simply by throwing sword talismans!
Soon after, a series of thunderous footsteps approached from afar.
The little snow wolf and the little black bear looked up in surprise, listening intently. "Sister, what's that sound?"
Jiang Li said nonchalantly, "The area around here is probably where the guards train. Let's ignore them and continue."
Seeing her calm expression, the two children suppressed their panic and continued to stare at the grilled fish from the Rejuvenating Vine.
"Xiao Teng, sprinkle in more chili powder, I like it spicy!"
"okay!"
Having witnessed the power of the Seven Star Demon-Slaying Formation, and seeing that Jiang Li was unaffected, Hui Chun Teng continued with her work.
I just hope that when the fight starts, these two little brats won't be scared and cry!
The loud footsteps grew closer, kicking up dust and causing even the crabapple blossoms in the courtyard to fall in a flurry.
Before long, the black-armored demon soldiers surged in like a tide, surrounding the courtyard layer by layer, with swords and spears standing tall and a murderous aura emanating from them.
The little snow wolf and the little black bear were so frightened that they dropped the grilled fish they were holding and hid behind Jiang Li in a panic, not daring to breathe.
Jiang Li remained calm and found a stone bench to sit on. She took a fresh fish from Huichunteng, skewered it on a wooden stick, and slowly grilled it over the charcoal fire.
The charcoal fire crackled and leaped, the fish meat gradually oozing oil, its golden skin glistening, and a rich, fresh aroma filled the courtyard.
