"The Heavenly Court?" The Demon Lord's face lit up with joy. "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations! We have finally found the legendary Heavenly Court!"
The Lord of Slaughter laughed heartily: "Why are you being so polite with me? I want to share this joy with you. You know, the Heavenly Court is rumored to be very powerful and mysterious, so I also urgently need your help."
"Thank you, my lord. I will come over after arranging things here." The Demon Lord said happily.
"Yes, arrangements must be made. The demon race and the sea race still have strength, so we cannot be careless and give them a chance to rise again. Make arrangements as soon as possible and try to set off in the next few days," the Lord of Slaughter instructed.
"Yes!" The Demon Lord bowed respectfully.
After the video camera was turned off, Steward Pi, who was standing to the side, said with a big smile, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty."
"What's there to be happy about?" The smile on the Demon Lord's face had long since vanished.
Seeing the other party's expression change so quickly, Steward Pi was also taken aback and subconsciously replied, "Of course, I, the Lord of Slaughter, still trust you, and even want to share the secrets of the Heavenly Court with you."
The Demon Lord sneered, "You're wrong. He intends to kill me."
Steward Pi and the War Priest were instantly dumbfounded:
"???"
The Demon Lord then said, "The old man has been immersed in the Demon Clan's royal tomb for so many years, yet he hasn't made any progress. Why did he find the Heavenly Court as soon as something happened to Mogard?"
"My lord, are you saying the old man did it on purpose?" The war priest's expression changed.
“Of course it was intentional,” the Demon Lord said with an equally solemn expression. “Otherwise, he wouldn’t have just called me to the Imperial Mausoleum without mentioning Morgard at all. Given his relationship with Morgard, even though there were some disagreements in the past few years, would he not have called him for such an important matter?”
"Clearly, the Lord of Slaughter already knew about the annihilation of Morgard's army, and then discovered the changes in the military's power structure in recent years. He became wary of me, which is why he summoned me and kept me away from the army and his confidants, taking the opportunity to strike at me."
After hearing this, the war priest couldn't help but feel a little scared: "That old man is really cunning and treacherous. If you're not careful, you'll fall into his trap."
The steward, Pi, immediately flattered him, saying, "No matter how cunning the old man is, he was still seen through by the master at a glance. Truly, the devil is always one step ahead of the saint."
The group burst into laughter. The Demon Lord's eyes gleamed: "In that case, we'll give him a big surprise."
...
Meanwhile, Zu'an wandered around the camp for a long time, subduing nearly a hundred demons of all sizes, but he did not get any information about Manman from them.
You have to understand that Da Manman's personal characteristics are so distinctive that if she had recently dealt with demons, there would be no way that no one would know.
Did she manage to bypass this area and go directly to the demon royal tomb?
Zaun fell into deep thought, or perhaps... there was another possibility?
Unfortunately, there is very little information available right now, so we can only go to the demon royal tomb to check the situation first.
After traveling day and night, Zu'an arrived near the Demon Clan's royal tomb. Revisiting this familiar place, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
Last time, he had Yan Xuehen, Yun Jianyue, and Yu Yanluo by his side, but now he is all alone and is still searching for Da Manman's whereabouts.
The demon royal tomb looks quite different from those of later generations. The buildings on the outside are much more magnificent and densely packed, and it is clear that many of them have decayed and disappeared over time.
Seeing that demons and monsters were stationed all around the imperial tomb, Zu'an remained silent.
If Da Manman came here, what would she do?
With her intelligence and resourcefulness, she was by no means a reckless person. Seeing so many demons gathered here, including even the Lord of Slaughter, why would she risk going to find the Glass Hairpin Flower? She would definitely try to notify me so that everyone could come and search together.
Could it be that she's on her way to the sea tribe right now, and we just missed her?
If she were to meet the Mermaid Queen, she would likely know what happened.
Zuan breathed a slight sigh of relief. Just in case, he still infiltrated the demon camp below, circled around, and came to the room of a demon leader. Taking him by surprise, he subdued him: "Have you captured a woman...?"
He then gave a brief description of Da Manman's appearance. Actually, there wasn't much to describe; her features were so distinctive that no one who had seen her would forget her.
"No...no," the demon leader hurriedly added, seemingly worried that the other party wouldn't believe him, "Now that our lord is here, who would dare to venture here..."
He froze halfway through his sentence, suddenly realizing that this guy was capable of such a daring act.
Zuan fell into deep thought; what the other person said did indeed make sense.
At this moment, the demon leader continued, "I advise you to let me go. Our lord is invincible. Once he discovers this, you won't survive even if you have nine lives. Leave on your own, and I'll pretend this never happened."
He was horrified. Although the attack was sudden, the opponent's strength was unfathomable. He couldn't react at all. Even in the world of demons, the opponent was at least a powerful figure comparable to a war priest.
He figured that once he got rid of the other party, he would immediately raise the alarm, and then work with his colleagues to capture such a powerful figure, thus redeeming himself through meritorious service.
Seeing the darting around in his eyes, Zu'an naturally guessed what he was thinking, but didn't expose him. Instead, he asked, "Where is the Lord of Slaughter now?"
"How dare you address our lord by his name!" The demon leader's face turned ashen.
“Answer my question.” Zuan placed his hand on his shoulder, and a terrifying suction force was about to be unleashed.
