Fortunately, with the palace messenger leading the way, the journey was smooth and unimpeded.
Soon they arrived at a castle. As they entered, Zuan took a second look because the gate was exceptionally tall, comparable only to the gate of the great tomb he had seen in the secret realm of the Embracing Simplicity Scripture.
However, he roughly guessed the reason: many demons were exceptionally large, and ordinary doors simply could not accommodate them.
Along the way, we saw various reliefs on the walls, but the taste of the demons was really hard to compliment.
The statues were all grotesque and ferocious, as if they were about to leap off the wall and devour people at any moment.
In the distance, I could see a slope of steps that seemed to stretch endlessly ahead. Torches burned on both sides of the steps, and under the dim light of the flames, the reliefs on the walls looked as if a thousand demons were dancing wildly.
Zuan suddenly noticed that there were already people standing at the bottom of the steps.
His body was covered in jet-black scales, making him look somewhat like a mutated lizardman, with exceptionally deep vertical pupils.
A wide, brightly colored scarf around his neck, like a crown, gave him a subtle air of royalty.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that it was his own protective membrane, with extremely sharp spikes at the tip. Given its dark and menacing appearance, being pricked by it would obviously not end well.
They initially thought the other party was the Lord of Demons, but quickly dismissed the idea.
Although this demon was also very powerful, its aura was only slightly stronger than his own, and it wasn't as terrifying as he had imagined.
More importantly, he was standing there with a slight bow, his whole body trembling almost imperceptibly, as if he were afraid of something.
The demonic messenger then said to Zuan, "Wait in line here. After the master has finished summoning the Green-Crowned Lizard King, it will be your turn."
Zuan thought that the guy must be the Green Crown Lizard King, but judging from the bright color around his neck, it wasn't green.
At this moment, another demonic messenger suddenly appeared on the high steps and announced in a loud voice, "The master summons the Lizard King to an audience."
At this moment, the Green-Crowned Lizard King couldn't help but ask, "Has the Mad King finished talking? Why haven't we seen him come out?"
The demon envoy standing atop the steps coldly said, "He no longer needs to come out."
Upon hearing this, the Green-Crowned Lizard King was taken aback at first, but then immediately understood what it meant.
There's no need to come out; they're obviously already dead inside.
In that instant, Zaun finally understood why this guy was called the Green-Crowned Lizard King, because the bright collar had instantly turned a ghastly green.
