The Green-Crowned Lizard King swallowed hard, its body trembling even more violently.
He even glanced furtively at the doorway, seemingly considering whether to make a run for it.
At this moment, the palace demon envoy who had brought Zuan stood at the door and said coldly, "Lizard King, hurry up and see your master. There are others waiting behind you."
The Green-Crowned Lizard King had no choice but to abandon his thoughts of escape. He looked at Zaun with a sense of shared misfortune in his eyes.
He moved his lips slightly, originally intending to secretly join forces with the other party to fight back, but seeing the True Demon in front of the palace eyeing him menacingly, and thinking of the terror of the Demon Lord, he gave up the idea and dejectedly climbed the steps.
Looking at his back, Zuan had a strange feeling, as if this guy wasn't climbing the steps, but going to the execution ground.
Zuan observed his surroundings. There were guards standing far apart on both sides. The guards looked somewhat like the demon envoys in front of the palace, except that they did not have wings on their backs.
The aura emanating from his body was much weaker.
Because of the high steps on this slope, the view behind is no longer visible.
Zuan originally wanted to use his divine sense to investigate what was happening inside, but he was worried about alerting the Demon Lord, since he was sure the Demon Lord would be able to detect it.
With that thought in mind, he simply stood still, pondering his next course of action.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a palace messenger reappeared at the top of the steps: "Donar, the master summons you."
Zuan was taken aback, and couldn't help but ask the same question that the Green-Crowned Lizard King had just asked: "The Lizard King doesn't seem to have come out yet?"
"He no longer needs to come out," the envoy in front of the palace said casually, as if he were recounting something completely ordinary.
Zuan: "..."
That's a pretty high mortality rate.
He was quite calm when he came, because he thought the Demon Lord would not see through his disguise, and just happened to have something to ask him.
Now, the two people ahead of him in line were killed shortly after entering, and he's really not sure what to do.
He couldn't help but glance at the main entrance, just like the Green-Crowned Lizard King earlier, considering the possibility of breaking out.
Unlike the Green-Crowned Lizard King, he is now very confident of success; a single palace demon envoy is no match for him.
However, he eventually dismissed the idea. He came to the demon world to solve the problem at its root, so how could he just run away like that?
With this thought, he calmed down and walked straight up the steps.
As they walked, they couldn't help but marvel at how arrogant this Demon Lord was. He deliberately created such a long staircase to make the hierarchy strict, and those below him treated each audience with the same pilgrimage mentality.
Led by the demon messenger in front of the palace, he quickly arrived at a large hall inside.
The hall was extremely spacious, and the most eye-catching feature was a huge three-headed bird.
It was said to be a bird, but it had almost no feathers, and three strange heads were tearing at a corpse.
Zaun could vaguely recognize the Green Crown Lizard King from the mangled corpse and the green crown on the ground as someone he had met once before.
There was also a thick tail nearby, with grayish-white feathers that clearly did not belong to this strange bird; it should be the Mad King mentioned earlier.
It was eaten down to just its tail!
Even from afar, one could sense the ferocity of the three-headed strange bird, which resembled a prehistoric behemoth. Zu'an was quite wary of it.
This must be the mount of the Demon Lord. Does he have to use it to feed his executed subordinates? The world of demons is indeed cruel.
His gaze quickly fell on a figure in front of the strange bird.
It's hard to call it human; it's just a human-shaped creature, but its entire body is covered in a layer of fine, dense, jet-black scales.
Previously, the Green Crown Lizard King was also covered in scales, but the two types of scales were completely different.
The scales gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen, making them appear not as scales but as a finely crafted suit of armor, possessing a strange and beautiful quality.
What's even more eye-catching is his head, which is shaped like a diamond with four points. For a moment, Zaun even recalled the gacha stones in a game from his previous life.
"Greetings, Lord of Demons!" Zuan reacted quickly, without any hint of impoliteness.
The Demon Lord had two yellow beams of light above his head, and one could vaguely see strange vertical pupils, which were clearly his eyes.
He sized up Zu'an before speaking, "Do you know why I called you here?"
His mouth was vertical, splitting open from the middle to both sides, revealing a dense array of menacing teeth inside.
If Zuan hadn't been so knowledgeable, he would probably have been shocked to see this.
"I don't know." Zu An was secretly on guard. He found that he could not accurately sense the cultivation level of the other party. In this case, either the other party's cultivation technique was of a much higher grade than his, or the other party's strength was much higher than his.
He now possesses various extraordinary skills, and even the keyboard system requires F1-F12 to collect the techniques. He doesn't believe that the Demon Lord's techniques are much more advanced than his own.
That only means that the other party's current strength and level are higher.
Thinking about this, Zaun couldn't help but feel nostalgic for the time when he was connected to the will of the world. Back then, he truly felt invincible.
Now that I've come to the world of demons and monsters, and can no longer utilize the power of the cultivation world, I am indeed much weaker than before.
However, he did not panic. In many cases, realm and strength are not the sole determinants of victory or defeat.
Over the years, he has faced many powerful enemies, but in the end, he always emerged victorious.
If they perform well, they are not without a fighting chance.
