Before long, they finally arrived at the vicinity of the palace.
Completely different from the palace they had imagined in their minds, the building that came into view was eerie and dark, and an eerie aura emanated from it.
If this were a horror movie, this building would completely fit the description of a haunted house. It's the type where once you step in, you're doomed and there's no coming back.
Oh no, calling it a haunted house is an understatement, it looks like the underworld.
Gu Qingze was deeply shocked and couldn't help but think so in his heart.
Chu Lingxiao on the side was only slightly surprised, and he was not as imaginative as Qingze.
In front of the palace gate stood two neatly arranged rows of monster guards, all of them with serious expressions and majestic demeanor.
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao got out of the car and slowly walked into the palace under the guidance of the guards.
The scene inside the hall is completely different from that outside. The hall is spacious and bright, with gorgeous decorations everywhere, showing the king's majesty everywhere.
However, the piles of corpses, ferocious monster heads, and human heads embedded in the wall seemed extremely inconsistent with the entire gorgeous decoration.
As they walked slowly along the corridor, they encountered a woman walking in the opposite direction.
The woman was walking normally, but when she saw them being led by the guards, she lowered her head again.
The woman passed by them quickly. Although it was only a brief moment, Gu Qingze, who was always good at observation, still captured her face accurately.
For some reason, the woman's face reminded him of Ling Xiao, but she was only three-quarters similar to Ling Xiao. The woman's face was softer in comparison.
Gu Qingze felt a little strange, but did not think too much about it. After all, there were so many people in the world, and the probability of meeting someone with a similar face was not completely zero.
He and Chu Lingxiao continued to follow the guards forward and walked into an extremely magnificent hall.
All around the hall, all kinds of rare treasures shine brightly, making the entire space luxurious.
There is a huge throne in the center of the hall. The throne is completely inconsistent with the temperament of the entire hall and seems a bit too monotonous. However, it blends in perfectly with the surroundings without any sense of abruptness.
On the throne sat an extraordinarily young man. There was no white in his eyes, and deep black pupils occupied his entire pupils. His face was extraordinarily handsome, yet revealed an evil aura.
He was wearing a black robe embroidered with intricate and mysterious golden patterns. He crossed his legs and put his feet up, sitting in a free and unrestrained manner.
At this moment, the man was looking at them with boredom, and his whole body exuded an aura of "extreme boredom".
Gu Qingze was slightly suppressed by his invisible aura, but he still observed something with his peripheral vision.
On the man's skin, which was as pale as paper and looked like a dead person, oh no, to be exact, on the extension of his collarbone, there was a mark that looked like a black rose pattern, like a tattoo.
But Gu Qingze was certain that this was not a tattoo. He had seen it in the Qingyun Sect's Sutra Library. It was a blood contract.
Usually, it can only be entered into between two people who are in love with each other. Once it comes into effect, both parties to the contract will pay an extremely heavy price.
This means that the Demon King has a beloved.
Gu Qingze took note of this information carefully, although he didn't know if it would be useful.
Chu Lingxiao also lowered his head slightly like him, and he also felt the pressure coming from the Demon King.
This was not released intentionally by the Demon King. If so, it would not be just to the extent of making people lose face.
However, this is also a very normal situation, as the Demon King has reached the realm of demigod.
What is a demigod?
The Demon King's cultivation has reached the highest level. As long as he has enough understanding and can find the connection with the fairy world, or find the breath left by other gods before they became gods and complete the connection, he can become a god.
Therefore, at this level, even if the Demon King is now seriously injured due to the great war between demons, and even if he has not deliberately released his pressure, he can still achieve the state of being awe-inspiring without being angry.
Chu Lingxiao adapted well to this, but he felt a little uncomfortable with the posture of half-lowering his head for a long time.
Why was the Demon King constantly observing them? And his observations seemed endless. Now he and Qingze should wait for the Demon King to speak first before they could express their requests.
The demon king looked at them for a long time before looking away.
He gently raised his hand, signaling the guards to withdraw, then slowly stood up and walked down from the throne. Every step seemed so calm and unhurried, as if the rhythm of the whole world was adjusting to his pace.
"You are human."
His voice was deep and magnetic, with an authority that could not be ignored.
When he said this, there was no pause or hesitation. His words were not a question, but simply a statement of an indisputable fact.
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao were not too surprised when they heard this. They had long expected that the breath-holding pills they took and the specially faked monster aura would be exposed in front of the Demon King.
So they nodded in agreement.
The demon king came closer to them, and suddenly he seemed to see something interesting, and his original lack of interest disappeared in an instant.
His knuckles trembled slightly, and Chu Lingxiao was forced to raise his head and look directly at him.
"you...."
The demon king's eyes widened. He would never forget that look until his death.
