Just as the Heyu Demon Lord was filled with regret, a flattering voice came from behind him:
"Demon Lord is so modest. Even though the treasure called hot pot can kill the White Bone Demon Lord, it is still not as good as you. As long as you make a move, any hot pot or soup pot will be vulnerable!"
The face of Demon Lord He Yu darkened, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
But when it turned back, the gloom on its face and the murderous intent in its eyes disappeared. On the contrary, a smile appeared on the corner of its mouth.
Behind the Demon Lord Heyu stood several demons, some of whom had demigod-level strength. They were all his subordinates.
The one who just flattered was a monster over three meters tall with four faces.
If Xiao Ye was here and saw the appearance of this monster, he would definitely be able to recognize that it was an evil monster called "General Gaotian".
The book lover should also know it, but I don’t know if he can answer it first.
Seeing Demon Lord He Yu turning around, General Gao Tian forced himself into ingratiating smiles on his four faces.
"Do you really think so?" asked the Demon Lord Heyu with a smile.
"certainly!"
The four faces of General Gao Tian opened their mouths at the same time, and their voices were of different pitches, giving people the feeling of a quartet. It really was better to speak than to sing.
"Haha." Demon Lord Heyu laughed, and seemed very satisfied with General Gaotian's flattery.
But just when General Gao Tian was about to laugh along, the words that Demon Lord He Yu said next made him shudder and run cold all over.
"So, do you want to say that I stood by and watched the White Bone Demon Lord get killed without helping him? Or do you want to say that I pretended to obey the orders of the Lord of God, and I stood by and watched without trying to change the situation even though I had the ability to do so?"
“Ah?” The smiles on the four faces of General Gao Tian froze. They immediately realized that their flattery had backfired. They panicked and said, “No, Demon Lord, that’s not what I meant. I said the wrong thing, uh uh…”
It wanted to defend itself, but just as it opened its mouth, an invisible force grabbed its neck and covered its mouth, preventing it from saying anything else.
The smile on the face of Heyu Demon Lord turned cold and weird at this moment: "Since you said the wrong thing, you have to pay the price! You can't flatter randomly. If you flatter the wrong person, you will die!"
General Gao Tian nodded repeatedly, wanting to say that he knew he was wrong and to beg for mercy, but he simply couldn't bring himself to say the words.
The strange black liquid surged over, spread upwards, and quickly enveloped it. A muffled sound came from the black liquid, and the more than three-meter-tall General Gao Tian quickly disintegrated and was completely swallowed up by the strange black liquid.
When the other demons and ghosts around saw this scene, not only did they not dare to plead for mercy to General Gao Tian, they were also trembling with fear, fearing that they would be the next.
The Heyu Demon Lord glanced at them and chuckled, "Don't be afraid. You haven't done anything wrong. I won't punish you."
The demons and ghosts secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not dare to relax completely.
Fortunately, Demon Lord Heyu did not continue this topic.
It glanced in the direction of the temple, and after a moment's silence, it ordered: "Stay here, and kill anyone who dares to escape. I will go back to the Fairy Palace and report what happened here to the Lord God!"
"Yes!" The demons and ghosts quickly obeyed the order.
However, there was one thing that confused them: the battle took place at the foot of Jade Mountain, and the God Lord must have known the entire course of the battle at the first moment. Was it necessary to report to them?
The lesson of General Gao Tian was right before their eyes. No matter how confused the demons and ghosts were, they did not dare to speak rashly.
But the Demon Lord He Yu seemed to know the doubts in the minds of these demons.
After a light laugh, it said, "Whether the Lord God knows about this or not, I will go and report it in person. This is the attitude that a slave should have, not flattering the Lord blindly and putting the Lord in a disadvantageous position."
The demons and ghosts suddenly realized what was going on and wanted to say a few words of praise, but they didn't know how to do it.
Is it to praise the demon lord for being good at flattery? I am afraid that after praising him, he will have to follow the footsteps of General Gaotian, right?
Fortunately, the Demon Lord Heyu did not make things difficult for them. After explaining the important matters, he disappeared into the darkness.
Only after they were sure it had gone far away did the demons and ghosts finally relax.
Serving the king is like serving a tiger. Serving an unpredictable demon lord is much more terrifying than serving the king.
Then, they also disappeared into the darkness and went to different directions to monitor the demons and ferocious beasts to prevent them from escaping.
After a while, at the top of Jade Mountain, inside the Fairy Palace.
The demon lord Heyu stood in front of the bronze clepsydra. The moody expression he had at the foot of the mountain was no longer there. Instead, there was solemnity and caution.
It had just reported the course of the battle to the strange black liquid in the clepsydra and was currently conducting a self-examination.
"When the sun came out, I wanted to rescue the White Bone Demon Lord, but before I could get there, the White Bone Demon Lord had been blasted to death by the hot pot and turned into bone powder on the ground..."
A ball of black liquid surged up from the clepsydra and turned into a head.
The difference from before is that now the eyebrows, eyes, mouth and tongue of this head are all clearer. I wonder if it is because it has devoured the flesh and blood soul and restored the demonic power.
However, no matter how you look at it, this head looks more like a dragon or snake than a human.
The head looked at the Demon Lord He Yu and said, "We saw everything clearly on Jade Mountain. What killed Bai Gu was not a hot pot at all, but the Ten Sun Fire! Not to mention you and Bai Gu, even a true god can't resist it."
"Ten Days of Fire?"
The Heyu Demon Lord was stunned and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Those cultivators can actually summon the sun? And they can summon ten at once? But aren't ten suns a story from ancient legends? And nine of them were shot down by Houyi a long time ago..."
Before it could finish its words, eight heads made of surging black liquid suddenly rose up from the clepsydra, staring at him and roaring:
"Shut up and don't mention the name Hou Yi in front of us!"
"When I heard the name, I felt a sharp pain in my body and was filled with rage!"
"We can let you go this time, but if you dare to mention this name again, we will devour you in one gulp!"
"If you were not still useful, I would want to devour you right now! Remember, never mention Hou Yi in front of us again! When I hear him, I want to eat people and go crazy!"
"Yes, I will never mention this name again!" Demon Lord He Yu was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweats. He fell to his knees on the ground, trembling.
It was just teaching its subordinates a lesson, but it didn't expect that it would be taught a lesson by the Lord God in the blink of an eye.
The only thing that made Heyu Demon Lord feel fortunate was that after the White Bone Demon Lord was burned to death by the Ten Suns, its usefulness increased greatly. Otherwise, even if it didn't die at this moment, it would still be severely punished!
However, there was still a question in the mind of Heyu Demon Lord: "Why does the Lord God hate Houyi so much? Is there any grudge between the Lord God and Houyi? Was he cheated on? Or was he cheated on?"
It was very curious, but it didn't dare to ask.
After a while, the nine heads in the clepsydra finally calmed down and continued the previous topic:
"He Yu, you guessed wrong. The Ten Suns Fire was not summoned by the cultivators, but came from the corpse of the ugly woman!"
"The legend is true. When the corpse of the ugly woman was being killed by the ten suns, a part of the power of the ten suns was sealed in her eyes!"
"I didn't expect that the corpse of the ugly woman was in the hands of those cultivators. If we can get her and eat her, we can not only break the seal, but also restore our strength to the peak state in one fell swoop, or even become stronger!"
When He Yu Demon Lord heard this, his heart trembled and he immediately became afraid. He thought to himself, "Could it be that the God Lord wants me to help them snatch the corpse of the ugly woman?"
It is true that what you fear will come true. Just as the Heyu Demon Lord was thinking this, he heard a black liquid head say, "Go and get us the corpse of the ugly woman!"
Demon Lord He wanted to refuse, but he didn't dare to, so he could only say in a trembling voice: "Yes... yes."
Seeing its frightened look, the nine heads in the clepsydra all laughed.
"We're not asking you to die, why do you have to act like that?"
"Although the eyes of the ugly woman's corpse are sealed with the power of ten days, she needs to consume energy to unseal them. Find a way to use up her energy so that she can no longer unseal them for ten days. Then you can bring her to us safely."
So the power of ten days sealed in the eyes of the ugly woman cannot be used all the time? That would be much easier.
After hearing the explanation, Demon Lord Heyu breathed a sigh of relief.
It quickly calculated in its mind that it could send some great demon lords to consume the energy of the ugly woman's corpse! Especially the great demon lords who had followed the white bone demon lord before, they were the best choice for cannon fodder.
The Heyu Demon Lord, who had come up with an idea, was no longer afraid and said, "Please rest assured, Lord God, I will definitely find a way to get the corpse of the ugly woman and offer it to you!"
The nine heads in the clepsydra nodded with satisfaction.
Then, they said, "In addition to the corpse of the ugly woman, blood food and souls are also necessary! Although many demons and beasts died in tonight's battle, it is not enough. Wait until dawn, when more demons and beasts arrive, and then organize another attack. With the help of the cultivators, kill more demons and beasts. At the same time, you can let the demons and beasts help you consume the energy of the corpse of the ugly woman."
"Yes!" Demon Lord Heyu bowed and accepted the order.
"The power of the seal is getting weaker and weaker. As long as we devour some more flesh and souls, we can completely break the seal and regain our freedom! At that time, we can take you and follow the cultivators out of the Yuanjiao Secret Realm to the human world to devour flesh and blood and plunder spiritual energy and resources!"
The nine black liquid heads in the clepsydra turned their heads at the same time and looked towards a corner of the palace.
The Demon Lord He Yu also subconsciously turned his head to look over.
There was a flower basket floating in the air.
The basket was filled with colorful flowers, half of which were covered in black liquid, rotting and withered.
But the remaining ones were still emitting divine power, suppressing the black liquid in the clepsydra, and making the Heyu Demon Lord breathless and dare not look directly at it.
