Chapter 192 Arrival at Heavenly Demon City; Emperor Sword Shuang'er
Ancient Demon City.
Above the palace in the city center.
Mo Lihai, dressed in a blue robe, stood here silently gazing at the sky.
Behind him were the commanders and generals belonging to the Demon General's Mansion.
Seeing their own demon general remain silent, the others dared not utter a word.
After a long while, Mo Lihai suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance.
Mo Lihai, who was in a bad mood, immediately relaxed when he sensed the presence of the newcomer.
"Mo Lihai pays his respects to Senior!"
Mo Lihai bowed respectfully.
"Sizzle!"
A golden streak of light sped from afar, transforming into a majestic golden-horned thunder beast.
Two figures stood atop the Golden Horned Thunder Beast's head.
It was Qin Hao and Yao Xixue.
Qin Hao glanced at Mo Lihai and said, "We're not late, are we?"
"No, no!"
Mo Lihai quickly said, "Senior, you've arrived just in time."
As long as the other party can help him win the competition and become the vice-captain, what does it matter if he waits a little longer?
Even if it meant being a slave for a thousand years, Mo Lihai would be willing.
Qin Hao chuckled lightly; Mo Lihai had no idea what he was going there to do.
If the other party knew his true purpose, they would probably be terrified.
"senior!"
Mo Lihai respectfully said, "My Ancient Demon City is far from the capital, requiring multiple teleportation arrays. Senior, please use the teleportation array instead!"
"Um!"
Qin Hao took away the Golden Horned Thunder Beast, and he and Yao Xixue teleported to the teleportation array.
Mo Lihai glanced back at the Ancient Demon City and said to his generals, "Take care, everyone. This time we're heading to the Heavenly Demon City, and we won't be coming back. Other demon generals will be arriving then!"
Then, he boarded the teleportation array.
"Buzz!"
As an incredibly dazzling beam of light shot straight into the sky, the three of them disappeared into the ancient demon city.
……
Tianyao City is located in the north of Tianyao County.
The city is surrounded by numerous intersecting mountain ranges. If viewed from the air, these nine mountain ranges resemble nine giant dragons encircling the city.
The nine dragon heads point towards a secluded pool, known as Dragon Pool.
There lies the spiritual symbol of the entire Tianyao County—the Ancient Demon Palace!
The area around the Dragon Pool is heavily guarded, and the Heavenly Demon City is built in front of it.
Tianyao City is not a single city, but a combination of nine cities, eight of which are arranged according to the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) pattern, with the central city being Yanjing.
The Demon Emperor's palace was located in Yanjing, a place filled with pavilions, carved railings, and jade steps.
Outside Tianyao City, there are eighteen teleportation arrays, eight of which are for civilian use and the remaining ten are for official use.
The fourteenth teleportation array is exclusively for use by demon generals from various regions. Each time it is activated, it signifies the return of a demon general from that region.
These demon generals commanded an army of 100,000, possessed astonishing supernatural powers, and were practically local warlords.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the teleportation array shone brightly, and waves of extremely powerful demonic energy surged forth, attracting the attention of the surrounding soldiers.
After the light faded, Qin Hao, Yao Xixue, and Mo Lihai emerged from it.
"We pay our respects to General Mo!"
Upon seeing Mo Lihai, countless demon soldiers and guards immediately bowed in unison.
"Senior, this is Heavenly Demon City!"
Mo Lihai said with a sigh, "It's been over thirty years since I've been back."
"roar!"
Qin Hao summoned the Golden Horned Thunder Beast again. It roared and unleashed its supreme thunderous power, which shocked the demon soldiers.
Qin Hao and Yao Xixue flew to the top of its head, and the Golden Horned Thunder Beast carried the two of them into the city gate.
Mo Lihai walked to the side, looking like a servant.
After they left, one of the demon soldiers couldn't help but ask his commander, "Who was that person? How could a demon general treat him with such respect?"
The commander guarding the teleportation array and city gate shook his head and said, "I don't know, but judging from his attire, he should be a powerful outsider, whose cultivation level must far surpass that of a demon general!"
"senior!"
Upon entering the city, Mo Lihai explained, "The Heavenly Demon City has one inner city and eight outer cities. The eight outer cities are also divided into inner and outer rings. The four cities of Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow form the inner ring, while the four cities of Universe, Zhou, Flood, and Wilderness form the outer ring."
"The inner ring is for civil officials, and the outer ring is for military generals. My residence is in Hongcheng. Would you like to come with me to Hongcheng, senior?"
Qin Hao nodded and said, "Lead the way!"
Mo Lihai said, "Let's cross the fork in the road ahead and turn right; that's the road to Hongcheng."
Qin Hao nodded and opened the chat group panel.
[Qin Hao @Dijian Shuang'er: "Xue'er and I have arrived at the Heavenly Demon City, do you want to come out?"]
[Emperor Sword Shuang'er: "You've come to Heavenly Demon City? Where are you? I'll come find you!"]
Qin Hao: "I just entered the city through the teleportation array. This is the fork in the road leading to Xuan City and Hong City."
[Emperor Sword Twins: "Wait for me!"]
……
Yanjing.
The inner palace.
Jian Ge.
The entire pavilion was devoid of any furnishings, except for a blood-red array.
At the center of this formation, a serpentine silver sword floats in mid-air.
This sword is the personal sword of the Demon Emperor of Tianyao County!
"clank!"
The once silent Emperor Sword was now filled with joyful sword cries.
Then, the sword transformed into a silver streak, swirling once in the sky above Yanjing before heading straight for the area between Hongcheng and Xuancheng.
"Why did she decide to go out today?"
Inside a palace, the Demon Emperor gazed into the distance and chuckled, "She seems to be in a good mood today. What happened?"
"Your Majesty, what makes you so happy?"
Behind the Demon Emperor, a beautiful woman embraced him from behind with her slender arms and asked with a smile.
……
the other side.
Just as Qin Hao closed the chat group panel, a series of whistling sounds came from ahead.
One after another, black warhorses galloped in from afar, each carrying a cultivator no weaker than the Nascent Soul stage.
"Your subordinate greets Your Excellency, Demon General!"
Upon approaching, the cultivators on it dismounted and bowed.
They were all demon cultivators of the Mo family, serving as retainers.
Just then, the sound of horses' hooves rang out ahead, and another group of people arrived.
The leader was dressed in blue armor, with flowing purple hair and an eerie face.
If it weren't for the scar on his right cheek, he would definitely be a handsome man.
Upon seeing Mo Lihai, the group of men not only failed to slow down but instead charged straight at him.
"roar!"
When the Golden Horned Thunder Beast saw that someone dared to provoke it, it immediately let out a furious roar.
"Boom!"
In an instant, boundless lightning appeared out of thin air, transforming into a huge golden lightning ball, carrying unimaginable lightning power, and blasted forward.
"Ah! Ah!"
Screams echoed as almost all the charging men and horses were reduced to ashes, with only their spirits remaining.
Only one person is still alive, and that is the sixth disciple of Tianyunzi's Purple Lineage.
"Glug!"
This scene truly shocked the surrounding crowd.
"How dare you!"
The eerie man's spirit roared, "I am a demon general personally appointed by His Majesty the Demon Emperor! How dare you destroy my physical body in Heavenly Demon City! You're finished!"
Then he looked at Mo Lihai and said in a deep voice, "Mo Lihai, you colluded with outsiders and murdered the demon general. You're finished too!"
