Demon Realm
The Demon King Qingcheng returned to his palace early this morning, a rare occurrence, but before he could even sit on his throne, he received shocking news.
"What did you say?! You're saying that Tanlang stole the treasures from my secret chamber? How is that possible?"
Qingcheng angrily slammed her hand on the luxurious throne and demanded an answer from her subordinates.
The subordinate was a tiger demon, a muscular and powerful man, but at this moment, the muscular man was anything but fierce. He was trembling all over from the demon king's roar, and he answered timidly, "Your Majesty, last night, Greedy Wolf suddenly attacked the palace, broke into the secret chamber, and stole the treasures. We were no match for him, and countless people were killed or injured. We couldn't even send someone to inform you to return, so..."
"Alright, I understand. I know Tanlang's abilities. You're lucky to have survived," Qingcheng interrupted her subordinate, saying, "I'll go check inside the secret room first. You go and take care of the brothers."
"Yes, then I'll take my leave. By the way, I've already informed the wolf clan chief, Lord Seven. I believe Lord Seven will be here soon." The tiger demon finished speaking and withdrew, while Qingcheng headed towards the royal chamber with a worried expression.
Inside the palace is a secret chamber known to the entire demon realm. Inside the chamber is a treasure, the only treasure in the entire chamber: the essence blood of the ancient divine Phoenix clan.
In fact, the phoenix essence blood is just a blood-red stone, which is the magic weapon that enabled Qingcheng, a member of the peacock clan, to become a demon king.
The peacocks of the Qingcheng clan are different from other peacocks. Their family belongs to the Phoenix God Clan, although it is only a branch. Long ago, a phoenix from the God Realm intermarried with a peacock demon from the Demon Realm, and thus the Qingcheng clan came into being. Then, the peacock clan obtained the position of Demon King for many years with the help of the Phoenix God Clan.
Of course, it wasn't easy for the Demon King to gain a foothold in the Demon Realm. There were many powerful demons in the Demon Realm, and countless others who were not convinced by the Peacock Clan. If it weren't for the Phoenix Clan protecting Qingcheng's clan, the throne would probably have been given up or stolen long ago!
Therefore, Qingcheng was also very worried about the Phoenix Blood Essence being stolen this time. Tanlang was the most ambitious demon in the demon realm. He was also a figure in the wolf clan and almost became the clan leader. However, he was defeated by his cousin, Qiyou, who was the Seventh Master mentioned by the tiger demon subordinate earlier.
Qi You grew up in the wolf clan and is a purebred silver wolf. He is the seventh in his family, so after he became the clan leader, everyone called him Seventh Master. However, Qing Cheng prefers to call him Seventh Brother because they grew up together and are very good friends.
The secret room was empty. The only stone table where things were placed had been overturned. Qingcheng was squatting on the ground in a daze, and she didn't react until Qiyou came in.
"Alluring beauty".
A handsome man with long silver hair was leaning against the door of the secret chamber, holding a silver longsword, calling out the name of the Demon King.
Qingcheng snapped out of her daze and smiled at the newcomer: "You've come. You know what happened, right? It was your good brother, Tanlang, who took my treasure."
Upon hearing this, the Seventh Clan Chief replied coldly and expressionlessly, "Not a good brother, but a cousin."
"Fine, since they're wolves from your clan anyway, Seventh Brother, as the clan leader, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Qi You looked at Qing Cheng with a serious expression and said, "I've already sent people to capture him. What about you? What do you plan to do about this? Tan Lang definitely won't stay in the demon realm after getting the phoenix's essence blood. He's probably already hiding somewhere to cultivate."
Qingcheng sighed, "Alas~ I know he definitely wants the spiritual power in the phoenix's blood essence. The demon realm won't let him stay, but it won't be easy to find him."
Phoenix blood contains immense spiritual power, which many demons desire. However, the power of the divine phoenix is not easily obtained by anyone. To unlock the secrets of the blood, one must pay a heavy price. This is why, although everyone knows there are treasures in the palace, few demons dare to steal them.
However, Tanlang was the most daring among the many ambitious people. It was unexpected that he would actually dare to try to seize the treasure. However, whether he could obtain the spiritual power of the essence blood depended on his ability. It should be noted that even the peacock clan, descendants of the phoenix, could only absorb a portion of the power of the essence blood, not the whole power.
The theft of the phoenix's essence blood caused a sensation throughout the demon realm. Half of the demons were restless, planning to challenge the Demon King and cause trouble, while the other half were afraid that the greedy wolf might actually be able to absorb the power of the phoenix's essence blood and return to the demon realm to become king.
It's important to know that Tanlang's ambitions have always been quite large. If he comes back to cause trouble, it will definitely lead to big problems. He might even go and attack other places like some other powerful demons.
Although the peacock clan are herbivores, they are peaceful, unlike carnivores who love war. Therefore, half of the monsters are loyal fans of Qingcheng.
After much deliberation, Qingcheng finally decided to pursue Tanlang. Although he had already sent his subordinates to capture him and the wolf clan had also gone to help, he still felt it was better to personally capture the traitor.
Clan Chief Qiyou naturally went out with his friend, and their first destination was the human realm.
j city
Since that giant catfish moved the hostages last time, no one has heard from it again, and even Mu Xiaoyi has not been able to find it for the time being.
The group of little monsters captured by Yazi didn't know where their leader was either. After interrogating a bunch of useless people, they were cruelly stewed and eaten by the group.
In the office, Yue Jiuling and Xiaobaicai were weeding a small potted plant. Actually, there were only a few tender grass sprouts in the pot, but the two of them were pulling weeds very carefully, so carefully that others thought they were going to plant grass.
Ya Zi took the day off today. He had been working for a few days and felt that there was nothing to do today, so he decided to take the day off to do something worthwhile, such as looking for the Blood Demon.
"Hey, are you two done yet? Jiuling, the kid likes to play with small plants, what are you doing here?"
Mu Xiaoyi found it amusing to watch the two of them pull out the weeds one by one.
Yue Jiuling turned around and said, "Sigh, it's because I'm bored. The case hasn't been solved yet, and there's nothing else to do for the time being."
Just when everyone was getting bored, Ye Dongfeng returned. He had been investigating some things because he couldn't find the hostages or the big fish, so he searched all the places with water in J City. That's why everyone had a boring half-day.
As soon as Ye Dongfeng came in, he put down the can of soda he was holding and said, "Alright guys, I've sent all the locations of fishponds, pools, rivers, and even large swimming pools with water to our group chat. Let's get ready to go. We'll split into several teams to search, just like before."
Finally, everyone had something to do, and they all eagerly packed up and set off.
