Chapter 811 Demon Lord
Sikong Qing gave his love rival a proud look that was far ahead of him, and told Ye Xiaoman that he would meet her when he arrived in the Demon Realm. Then he hung up the phone and went to see the Demon Lord with the Demon Envoy.
Sikong Qing is the Demon Lord's illegitimate son, the product of a one-night stand between his mother and the Demon Lord at the sacrificial ceremony. Both of them have many lovers, and they just had fun with them.
His mother accidentally became pregnant. Thinking that the bloodline of Demon Lord Murong was powerful, she gave birth to the baby with the mentality of Murong being strong. After giving birth, she threw the baby to the Sikong family to be raised, and happily eloped with a lover. Her whereabouts have been unknown since then.
The head of the Sikong family went to the territory to quell a rebellion for two years. When he left, his wife's belly was not moving at all. When he came back, his wife had run away and the baby was already a month old. Everyone knew what was going on.
The head of the Sikong family gritted his teeth and recognized Sikong Qing. He chose a sentence from his wife's handwritten letter, "This is love that cannot be controlled," and named Sikong Qing. In fact, Sikong Qing should be called Murong Qing.
Sikong Qing grew up in the Sikong family, being looked down upon. Due to various life experiences, he developed a yandere and extreme personality. After meeting Ye Xiaoman, his character began to develop towards that of a "spoiled husband", but his essence remained unchanged.
He was not kind to his biological mother and adoptive father, and he had no extra feelings for his biological father, the Demon Lord, whom he had only met a few times.
If I had to describe my feelings, it was nothing more than a strong desire as a powerful lord to dethrone the Demon Lord and replace him after some time and when he becomes powerful enough.
Walking in the corridor for an audience with the Demon Lord, Sikong Qing took out a high-level magic weapon and threw it to the demon envoy who was leading the way.
"What has the Demon Lord done recently?"
The demon servant took advantage of the situation and replied respectfully with a smile, "When you meet His Majesty later, if you feel uncomfortable in any way, it would be best not to show any abnormality in front of His Majesty."
Sikong Qing glanced at him from the corner of his eye.
The demon moved a little closer to him and lowered his voice.
"Yesterday, Your Majesty cut off the noses of several of his attendants because he heard others say that he had a strange smell."
"The day before yesterday, because Weng Ji complained that he hadn't been close to her for a long time, he beheaded her."
Sikong Qing raised his eyebrows, very surprised.
His so-called biological father, the Demon Lord, is a self-proclaimed gentle and passionate playboy. He usually cares a lot about his appearance, dresses elegantly all day long, treats people with humor and kindness, and cares deeply for his many lovers.
This is also the reason why Sikong Qing's mother had a special liking for him back then.
Abusing subordinates and killing concubines were things that the Demon Lord would never do in the past.
The demon messenger told Sikong Qing.
"You've been away from the Demon Realm for some time, so you probably haven't noticed that Your Majesty's temperament has changed drastically in the past six months."
"Several lords have been punished by him. Now, among the lords, no one except you will take the initiative to come to see His Majesty."
Sikong Qing stepped into the Demon Lord’s Palace of the Underworld.
There was no light in the hall, but it was not dark. Instead, there was a demonic energy as thick as substance, slowly flowing through the space.
The source of the evil energy comes from the Xuanming throne in the center.
The moment Sikong Qing looked up and saw the face of the Demon Lord, he was stunned.
In my impression, the Demon Lord was a very handsome man, but now there was a haggard man sitting on the throne, like a skeleton covered with a layer of dry and black human skin. If it weren't for the familiar clothes, Sikong Qing really wouldn't have recognized that it was the Demon Lord.
The Demon Lord stared at Sikong Qing greedily with a pair of bloodshot eyes under his sunken eye sockets.
Sikong Qing suppressed his surprised expression, put his hand on his heart, lowered his head slightly, and saluted as usual.
"Your Majesty."
"My blood."
The figure on the throne disappeared, and in the next breath, he appeared in front of Sikong Qing. The sound was extremely unpleasant, as if many centipedes were crawling in an empty pottery jar, and the rustling sound was occasionally accompanied by the sharp sound of shells colliding.
"No need to be polite."
The figure of the Demon Lord was erratic, sometimes appearing behind Sikong Qing, sometimes beside Sikong Qing. He was like a devil smelling the delicious taste of blood, sniffing Sikong Qing greedily with his nostrils twitching.
"What do you want from me?"
Sikong Qing, reminded by the demon envoy, closed his five senses in advance. He looked at the black spots on the skin outside the Demon Lord's clothes that looked like corpse spots, and thought that this body was rotten, so how could it not stink.
Sikong Qing didn't want to stay with this weird Demon Lord for a moment. It was too shabby and he despised it.
He said, "I want the hiding place of Patriarch Tuoba."
The Demon Lord seemed impatient with ordinary topics: "Master Tuoba?"
Sikong Qing: "After his clan was exterminated, you provided him with a hiding place. I want the location."
Demon Lord: "You, what do you want to do?"
Sikong Qing: "I'm going to burn down his territory."
"I won't let any of those who invite him out of retirement go."
The Demon Lord showed unprecedented tolerance towards Sikong Qing's bloodline. He asked someone to bring a map to Sikong Qing. Sikong Qing did not stay and left immediately.
After he came out, the demon messenger who was waiting outside the temple came over and took him out.
Sikong Qing threw another reward to the demon envoy.
"What happened to the Demon Lord?"
The demon shook his head.
"We privately speculated that His Majesty might have gone astray during his cultivation."
Sikong Qing sneered: "Possessed? I think he's more like being possessed."
The demon envoy panicked: "Your Majesty is one of the strongest in our demon world. Who can take his body?"
"Anyway, the soul in his body is most likely no longer his," Sikong Qing instructed, "Keep an eye on it. If anything happens, report it to me immediately."
The demon envoy agreed uneasily, and Sikong Qing stopped.
"Is the Demon Lord particularly concerned about anything recently?"
The demon envoy recalled: "Your Majesty used to enjoy doing things like checking tributes from various places, watching beast fights, drinking and searching for beauties. Now he doesn't do them anymore. He stays locked up in the Palace of the Underworld Lord all day. I don't know what he is doing."
"Oh right," the demon suddenly remembered, "Your Majesty has been particularly concerned about the Six Realms Competition recently. He personally oversaw the completion of the final stage of the competition."
Sikong Qing: "What's the last level?"
Demon Envoy: "Climb the Ladder of Eternal Tribulation."
It is consistent with the information Sikong Qing found out.
The competition segments designed by the demons are simple and crude, following the effects of violence and blood flying everywhere.
In the previous levels, the geniuses of the six realms are placed in a harsh environment and allowed to fight each other.
Just like raising a Gu, they pick out a number of winners and then build a larger arena for them. The one who survives to the end is the winner.
The Ladder of Ten Thousand Tribulations has many checkpoints along the way. The geniuses need to break through the levels while knocking other competitors down the ladder. The first one to climb to the top wins.
Sikong Qing: "Is this a trick?"
The demon envoy denied: "The demon beasts, inner demons, evil puppets and other obstacles placed on the ladder have been inspected by the Righteous Alliance and there is no problem."
Sikong Qing felt that everything was weird and he had an uneasy feeling in his heart.
