The two men injected spiritual energy under their feet. No matter how rugged the road was, their feet always stuck to it and walked all the way to the heart of the golem.
There is no danger inside the golem, but the ground under its feet is full of the corpses of its minions that have been chewed up by the golem. It feels sticky and a bit disgusting when you step on them.
Half a minute later, the two finally arrived at the heart of the golem.
This place is like an independent house, and the blood vessels are the channels leading into it.
Feeling the thick demonic energy emanating from it, Jiang Deng and Baili Chengfeng looked at each other and both switched to a state of being ready to fight at any time.
The two of them stepped in cautiously.
After walking in, I found that the space here was surprisingly large. Looking around, apart from the demon that had rotted into bones, I didn't see the person behind the scenes.
"Huh? Why is there no one here?"
Jiang Deng didn't believe it and looked around.
She found that most of the bones were broken limbs, and only the skeleton sitting cross-legged in the center was relatively intact. However, perhaps because it had decayed into bones, it looked very thin.
"Tsk," Jiang Deng said disdainfully, "Isn't this too skinny? It wouldn't even be tasty enough for bone soup."
Baili Chengfeng: "..."
He admired Jiang Deng very much, as he could associate everything with food.
"Who are you going to eat?"
A ball of black gas flew out from the skull's head, revealing a young man with a somewhat transparent figure.
His facial features were soft and handsome, and the black clothes he wore formed a sharp contrast with his pale complexion. Although he looked good, he was indeed as thin as Jiang Deng said.
He seemed to be angered by what Jiang Deng had just said, and was making a threatening move towards Jiang Deng. Unfortunately, there was a difference between humans and ghosts, and he couldn't touch Jiang Deng at all.
Jiang Deng was not surprised by the appearance of the male ghost. He even laughed and retorted, "I will eat whoever speaks."
"Ignorant little girl!"
The male ghost put his hands behind his back, his black robe fluttering in the wind, and said in a cold voice: "Do you know that I am the right protector of the previous Demon Lord——, Master Gu Zhu!"
“…”
Instead of feeling awe towards the male ghost named Gu Zhu, Jiang Deng felt extremely embarrassed.
Although this man was also a spirit like Yao Lanxin, he did not have the same terrifying aura as Yao Lanxin. She even felt that she could blow him away with just a breath.
Seeing that Jiang Deng was speechless for a long time, Gu Zhu thought that Jiang Deng was shocked. His expression became extremely proud, "Humph, I knew you had heard of my name! Since you admire me so much, I will reluctantly allow you to become my believer."
"stop!"
Jiang Deng couldn't stand it any longer. Gu Zhu's words gave her goose bumps. She interrupted, "You were making such a big fuss, I thought you were the Demon Lord. Turns out you're just his henchman."
"What do you mean by a little follower?" Gu Zhu was so angry that his face turned pale. "Do you know how difficult it is to become the guardian of the Demon Lord? In order to become a guardian, I forgot to eat and sleep, and practiced diligently. I..."
Jiang Deng subconsciously asked, "So you were able to become the Demon Lord's guardian because you worked hard enough and defeated your competitors?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Zhu shook his head and said proudly: "It's because I'm cruel enough. Since the Demon Lord doesn't accept men, I just castrated myself."
Jiang Deng: “…”
Ah, it turns out that there really is a way to cut off all love and affection by castrating oneself. It’s obvious that Gu Zhu is a person who is going to do big things.
Baili Chengfeng: "..."
Even though that thing isn't very useful and is a bit of a nuisance, there's no need to cut it off directly, right?
When mentioning this, Gu Zhu's expression was not at all gloomy, but rather extremely proud. "The Demon Lord felt that I was ruthless and a role model worthy of emulation by the entire demon world, so he made an exception and made me the Right Protector."
"Then what?" Jiang Deng's curiosity was aroused.
"Then..." Gu Zhu's face fell, "Then the new Demon Lord led his men into the Demon Palace. The Demon Lord was defeated and died. Her soul and mine were both taken into the Soul Locking Tower by the new Demon Lord's assistant, Venerable Wei Yan."
"etc!"
Jiang Deng keenly sensed the problem. "You said that you and the previous Demon Lord were both taken into the Soul Locking Tower. Could it be that she is..."
Under the gaze of the two, Gu Zhu nodded and said confidently, "The Demon Lord is on the fourth floor of the Soul Locking Tower. You will see her when you enter. Just a friendly reminder, she is not that easy to defeat! You will definitely lose!"
Jiang Deng: “…”
Although this ghost is not very smart, he is absolutely loyal to the previous Demon Lord.
"Who was the previous Demon Lord?"
After being flattered by Gu Zhu time and again, Jiang Deng couldn't help but become curious about the previous Demon Lord. He believed that the other party must have extraordinary qualities, otherwise, eight hundred years would not have passed and Gu Zhu was still full of confidence in the Demon Lord, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.
Because Baili Chengfeng was present, Jiang Deng could not ask the name directly.
She remembered that the Demon Lord a thousand years ago was a female demon cultivator named Danqing. She had no connection with him, but she had heard that he was a genius and had become a top-level powerful cultivator at the Venerable level at a young age like her.
I don’t know if the Demon Lord mentioned by Gu Zhu is the same Demon Lord she knows.
"Who else could it be? Of course it's the Demon Lord Danqing, who is unprecedented and unparalleled, and has made great military achievements in the history of the Demon Realm!" Gu Zhu said proudly.
Jiang Deng: “…”
It really was the Demon Lord she knew, but why was he dead?
"Since your Demon Lord is so powerful, why did you let others kill him?"
Gu Zhu said angrily, "What else could it be? It's because there's a traitor in our Demon Realm. The Left Protector betrayed the Demon Lord and teamed up with the new Demon Lord Fan Wuyin to attack her while she was undergoing her tribulation and ascending. Otherwise, there's no way the Demon Lord would have been defeated!"
"You said... the new Demon Lord is Fan Wuyin?"
Jiang Deng remained expressionless, but his heart was filled with turmoil.
Brahma without sound?
This person has the same name and surname as her five disciples. Could they be the same person?
But how did Fan Wuyin become the new Demon Lord of the Demon Realm?
Although Fan Wuyin's physique is that of a demon and he is naturally good at practicing magic, she doesn't want to see Fan Wuyin being hunted down by people of the righteous path, so she has been suppressing his demonic nature and letting him walk the righteous path.
Unexpectedly, after her death, Fan Wuyin still changed his ways to the devil...
For a moment, Jiang Deng felt mixed emotions.
Gu Zhu looked at Jiang Deng with disdain. "How come you, a young man, are even less informed than an old fellow like me who's been dead for eight hundred years?"
Jiang Deng didn't say anything.
Baili Chengfeng, who was standing by, kindly explained to Jiang Deng, "The current Demon Lord of the Hun Tian Demon Realm is indeed Fan Wuyin."
As he spoke, Baili Chengfeng felt a little unhappy.
Fan Wuyin, the fifth disciple of his master, fell into the path of evil after his master's death and committed numerous murders. The Hun Tian Demon Realm ruled by Fan Wuyin was simply a purgatory on earth.
Back then, his mentor didn't accept him as his disciple because Fan Wuyin was behind the scenes instigating it...
