"I'll go in and check the situation first. You guys wait here for me. If there is any problem, evacuate this territory immediately!" Li Xuan said to the two.
Their strength was not enough to deal with a sixth-order demon lord. Li Xuan felt that the higher-ups arranged for them to come here to help him familiarize himself with the situation in the territory.
After all, this matter requires someone who is absolutely trustworthy, and the two of them have experienced the Beining City incident with him, so there is absolutely no problem with their identities.
Jiang Yang shook his head. "No, the mission was assigned to the three of us. We should shoulder the risk together. Even if we're not strong, we can still help you draw some firepower!"
Feng Zao nodded and said, "Let's go together!"
Li Xuan was a little surprised by the firm tone of the two people. Seeing that he couldn't persuade them, he could only let them follow behind.
At the gate of the ancient castle, a fifth-level peak demon general led four fifth-level high-level demon generals to guard this place.
Wow!
Suddenly, a hazy feeling enveloped the five of them, causing their bodies to sway and they seemed to be about to fall into a deep sleep.
clang!
Brilliant sword lights and sword intent intertwined, crushing the bodies of the five demon generals into pieces.
The sword intent disappeared, and Li Xuan's figure appeared at the door. Under the weaving of dreams and the Green Lotus Sword Song, he killed all five demon generals without making any noise.
Swish!
His figure flashed and he rushed directly into the castle. With the combination of the two skills of shadow stealth and space flash, he turned into a terrifying assassin and killed his way to the top floor of the castle.
At the top floor, three fifth-level peak demon generals stood in front of the door.
Suddenly, one of the wizard demons, whose body was covered with runes, opened his eyes and shouted, "Your Majesty, someone from the human race has broken in!"
While shouting, he had already taken out a round compass and was about to press it with his five fingers.
squeak!
The door behind him suddenly opened, and a mysterious demon king in a gray robe walked out.
"Your Highness the Demon Lord!"
"Your Highness the Demon Lord!"
The three fifth-level peak demon generals hurriedly said respectfully. Except for the wizard demon general, the other two looked a little confused. They didn't sense anything.
Wow!
At this moment, flying swords rushed out from the corner ahead. The two fifth-level peak demon generals immediately felt like they were facing a formidable enemy and each used their skills to prepare to meet the enemy.
The wizard demon general's hand, which was originally frozen in mid-air, reached out for the compass in his hand again.
This is the compass that connects the center of the territory. Once it is activated, the Headless Demon Lord will immediately know that human beings are attacking here and will send demon lords to support.
Wow!
At this moment, the gray-robed demon lord suddenly attacked, his hands suddenly stretched out.
Phew!
A stream of blood sprayed on the wall, and blood spurted out of the wizard demon general's neck. The hand reaching for the compass stopped in mid-air, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
He simply couldn't believe that the Demon Lord he had always followed would actually attack and kill him at this moment.
Why? Why would His Majesty the Demon Lord do this?
With this question in mind, his consciousness fell into endless darkness.
The demon king in a gray robe slowly pulled down his hoodie, revealing a pair of gray pupils without any emotion.
Wow!
The other two fifth-level peak demon generals were unable to withstand Li Xuan's flying sword at all. They were killed after only a few seconds of resistance from the flying sword's attack.
The flying sword was retracted, and Li Xuan appeared at the corner of the corridor. He walked towards this side while scrutinizing the Demon Lord with his eyes.
He had seen what happened just now. If the Demon Lord had not taken action in time, the news would have been exposed.
At the same time, he also had the gray pupils unique to the spies, but Li Xuan still did not dare to be careless.
It was not until the gray-robed figure took out a sword talisman from his sleeve that Li Xuan scanned it with his mental power, and suddenly felt a sense of mystery, as if he was trapped in the sword path.
This is a sword talisman made by the Sword God Li Chungang himself. No one in the demon clan can forge it. It is also the item that the traitor Huitong uses to prove his identity.
Only after seeing it did Li Xuan no longer have any doubts.
"You almost exposed this place just now. I will suffer with you then." Gray Eyes still had no expression on his face and spoke in a calm tone.
He seems to be comparable to Ye Qing with a dead face.
"Sorry, I was negligent!"
Li Xuan apologized frankly without giving any reason.
He also didn't expect that there was a fifth-level demon general in the castle who could sense him before him.
After making sure it was safe, Jiang Yang and Feng Zao walked out openly. If Hui Tong's identity was wrong, they would hide in the dark and take action.
"We have tried our best, okay? Who could have expected that the wizard demon general had the ability to predict good and bad luck?" Jiang Yang complained.
Gray Eyes didn't say anything else, just turned and walked into the house.
"Time is running out. What is our next mission?" Li Xuan asked.
Wang Tianyao and his men are still holding back the main force in the Headless Demon Lord's territory. Once they are forced to withdraw, it will be a hundred times more difficult for them to sneak into the demon territory.
“Follow me!”
Gray eyes are very frugal with words.
After Li Xuan and the other two followed him into the room on the top floor, Huitong activated a certain mechanism and a teleportation array appeared there.
"Teleportation array? Where are we going?" Jiang Yang asked curiously.
But before Huitong could say anything, an extremely terrifying force instantly filled the entire castle.
Immediately, powerful mental forces locked onto the entire castle.
Li Xuan immediately checked the detection technique and saw at least a dozen powerful sixth-level demon kings appearing around. Among them was the most powerful aura, which was most likely the headless demon king himself.
"You betrayed us?!"
Jiang Yang took out his sword and pointed it at Hui Tong.
Feng Zao also took out his guqin and was ready to urge it on at any time.
Li Xuan glanced at the gray pupil, his eyes thoughtful.
"It's you who didn't take care of your whereabouts, and let the tail follow you!" Although Gray Eyes' expression did not change, his tone was a little annoyed.
Li Xuan placed his hand on Jiang Yang's sword handle: "It's not him, it must be that our whereabouts have been exposed."
"How is this possible?"
Jiang Yang was somewhat reluctant to believe it.
Li Xuan didn't explain to him, but looked at Hui Tong: "The most urgent thing now is to find a way to break out. Otherwise, being trapped here will only lead to death."
Gray Eyes finally changed his expression, revealing a hint of a sneer: "The Headless Demon Lord has arrived personally with over a dozen sixth-rank Demon Lords. Do you think we can break out with just a few of us?"
It is indeed the Headless Demon Lord!
Li Xuan's heart darkened, but he did not give up in despair. His eyes sparkled as he said, "How can we know if we don't try? Either surrender or fight to the death!"
In this critical moment, he did not lack the courage to fight to the death.
Jiang Yang and Feng Zao also swept away the gloom in their hearts. Even if any sixth-level demon king could deal with them, they were no longer afraid at this moment.
