Chapter 430: The Great Sima at the Gate of the Demon Palace
The three of them sneaked into the Demon City, but the journey was extremely smooth. Not to mention soldiers, they didn't even see any ordinary demons.
Every house in the city had its doors shut, no lights were on and no sounds were made. It was extremely eerie and it felt like entering a ghost town.
If something is abnormal, it must be something wrong!
Now that’s bad. I had planned to sneak in in disguise, but now I haven’t even seen anyone. It seems like there’s no hope.
Just when Long Qi was wondering whether the demons simply disliked light, Adao stopped them.
"It smells of blood..."
Smell of blood?
Long Qi sniffed around but smelled nothing.
This is natural. Adao is originally a beast, and he has the cultivation of a demon. How can his sense of smell be compared to that of ordinary people?
"It's the palace!"
Yes, the smell did come from the palace, but why?
Adao couldn't figure it out, and suddenly became nervous.
"Master, is she... okay?"
Long Qi's expression turned stern, and he completely lost interest in playing. He looked at Chi Yanzi, who nodded, and the three of them hurried to the palace.
Before reaching the palace, one could hear the sound of shouting and killing, the clashing of weapons, and the occasional explosion of magic. From a distance, it sounded like the New Year.
But why would there be endless screams during the New Year?
The three of them didn't understand what was going on, so they sneaked in and saw a group of Taoists blocked outside the palace gate, fighting with the demon soldiers.
This group of Taoists are extremely brave. They don't look like the indifferent and ambitious practitioners at all. They are clearly killing gods on the battlefield, eager to earn fame and fortune.
Long Qi recognized Yuan Qing's Taoist uniform at a glance, and there were other things that looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them before.
But it doesn't matter.
Originally, Long Qi thought it was Shoucheng and the others, but he didn't expect to see Mu Cang piercing the demon soldier with a sword in the crowd.
As for Mu Cang, Long Qi only knew that he was the eldest disciple of Master Dong Hui, so he was not very familiar with him. After all, the eldest disciples of the elders were all very busy, so how could they have time to deal with new disciples like them?
Long Qi suddenly felt a little indignant. He thought that after all, he was the eldest disciple of Qingwei Peak and seemed to have the same status as Mu Cang and the others. Why had he never been in charge of any affairs?
But then I thought again, there is only a medicinal field and a thatched cottage on Qingwei Peak, not even a Taoist temple, so it seems that there is nothing that needs to be taken care of.
After all, he didn't understand pharmacology or medical knowledge, let alone alchemy. Even if he wanted to help, Lingxiang would probably be worried, so he could only help repair the house.
When he thought of this, Long Qi's face turned red and he actually felt embarrassed.
Seeing Long Qi still distracted at this moment, Ah Dao couldn't help but roll his eyes - what kind of suffering in the world could make him recognize such a hottie...
Immediately, Adao fell into deep thought again.
It seems that the old Taoist from Yuanqing Sect has received the map, so it was worth it for him to sell himself to Yue Niang of Liuyunxuan.
When Lingxiang ordered Zhanli Adao to run around, it was not aimlessly, but to draw a map of the underworld. At that time, Lingxiang had already had the intention of the demons.
But later on, Lord Wumin showed up and the project was put on hold for a long time. However, thanks to Lord Wumin, the map was drawn in more detail.
When he first returned to the human world, Adao wanted to go directly to Yuanqing, but because of Zhanli's identity as a demon, he had to go to Liuyunxuan.
I can't just leave Zhan Li alone, right? After all, I'm the senior brother and I have to take care of my junior brother.
But who knew that Yue Niang from Liuyunxuan was so hateful that she asked him to work with her for a hundred years before she was willing to help.
In order to save Lingxiang, he had no choice but to agree, but Adao also had some reservations.
It only said that it was work, but it didn't say when it would be done or when to go afterwards. Isn't it up to you to decide?
I guess it's up to me...
Adao was not quite sure, but he could not afford to think too much at the moment.
Under the city wall, the battle was raging. Although they were not at a disadvantage, they were still unable to capture the palace gate, and the demon soldiers continued to emerge. If this continued, they would be defeated soon.
How can the physical strength of mortals compare to that of demons?
With only the three of them, even if they went forward to help, it would be a drop in the bucket. There would also be the risk of being exposed, which would increase the difficulty of infiltration.
But if they don't help, once these Taoists have exhausted all their strength and lost the battle, even if the three of them sneak in, they may not be able to deal with the remaining demon soldiers after being discovered.
What's more, there must be other guards in the city. That old witch Yinghuan hasn't seen him yet!
We seem to be in a dilemma right now, unable to advance or retreat.
Just when Adao was in a dilemma, he saw Long Qi covering his face with a scarf that came from nowhere, rushing down with a roar, and Chi Yanzi followed closely behind him.
Are these two crazy?!
Long Qi, that reckless fellow, is fine, but what's with that old man? Why is he so impatient?
Besides, what's the point of covering your face with a scarf? You're wearing a Yuanqing Taoist robe! Do you think the demons are as foolish as you?
Adao held his forehead with his hand, feeling a severe headache. However, there was nothing he could do. He could only observe secretly and wait for the opportunity to act.
Although Lingxiang did teach Adao a lot of skills, most of them were for human cultivation, and were somewhat inappropriate for Adao, a demon.
Lingxiang was not familiar with the ways of the devil and knew that what she could teach was limited, so during this trip, she had repeatedly warned Adao not to show up rashly if possible and to leave everything to others.
Adao was well aware of the pros and cons of the matter, and also understood that it was for his own good, so he kept Lingxiang's instructions in mind along the way. Except for the time when he stopped Xinyi, he never took action at other times, and left all the fighting to Zhanli.
Although he was unwilling, he had to admit that Zhan Li was indeed more capable than his senior brother.
Oh!
That's all...
Ah Dao thought awkwardly, and suddenly felt that he was a little stingy, so he quickly shook his head.
It’s already this time, how can you be the same as that hottie Long Qi?
Really, how inconsiderate!
The trouble right now is not those demon soldiers, but the Grand Marshal guarding the palace gate.
Others only know the two brothers, Yinghuan and Feilian Shanglu. After all, these three led the troops in most wars. But few people know that behind them there is the Grand Marshal who commands the three armies.
Without any skills, how can you control these three people?
When Lingxiang was trying to gather information, she'd mentioned that Da Sima had a fiery temper. While he wasn't scheming, his strength couldn't be underestimated. The fact that he dared to shout and yell in front of the Demon Lord alone showed that this old man was no ordinary person, not to mention that he was entrusted with the safety of the Demon Realm in the Demon Lord's absence.
Da Sima is deeply trusted by the Demon Lord.
Moreover, Lingxiang had been trying to find out the true strength of Da Sima for so long, both openly and secretly. Even when she asked Wu Minjun, she only got the reply that he was a veteran of three dynasties, and she knew nothing else.
Now that none of the powerful old Taoist priests have come, what chances of winning can we have by relying on these small Taoist priests?
Adao looked worriedly at the Sima who was sitting in front of the palace gate. The latter seemed to be too disdainful to take action and was even sitting there drinking tea.
Tea?
Adao suddenly came up with an idea. He had some good things given by Lingxiang in his hands, but he didn't know how to temporarily divert Da Sima's attention.
While he was thinking, a long sword flew straight towards Da Sima. The latter just turned his head slightly and easily avoided it, as if it was just a leaf.
What a great man who remains calm even when facing a collapse of Mount Tai. This level of composure is truly extraordinary!
The one who threw the sword was Long Qi.
Seeing this, Ah Dao couldn't help but hold his forehead again -
This reckless man really thinks his life isn't long enough...
