Three days later, led by Qin Guihe, a group of dozens of people entered the main hall of the Demon Palace.
This hall was constructed from ten-thousand-year-old bloodwood, its blood condensed like jade, emitting a chilling aura. The hall was vast, like a square, its jade bricks reflecting one's reflection. Ninety-nine stout, round wooden pillars supported the dome. A single blood-bone throne stood in the center, suspended in mid-air.
As soon as he entered the hall, Luo Jianqing felt difficulty breathing.
The air was filled with the smell of blood, so thick and sticky that it was almost impossible to breathe. He didn't know that this hall hadn't been stained with human blood for thousands of years, yet the blood of those who had died over a thousand years ago still lingered, as if expressing their anger and resentment.
After everyone entered the hall, they did not see the Demon Lord.
Elder Gui Yi of the Broken Soul Sect asked dissatisfiedly, "Qin Guihe, the Demon Lord hasn't appeared yet, how are you going to explain it?"
Qin Guihe, dressed in white, brandished his sword and sneered, "I'll give you a shit explanation."
"you!"
The two parties froze in the hall for a moment, waiting for half an hour without seeing the Demon Lord. Qin Guihe was relatively relaxed, but Elder Gui Yi, representing the Broken Soul Sect, the Bai Family, the Yun Family, and others, grew impatient.
Both sides waited for another half an hour. A whole hour passed, but they could not even see the shadow of the Demon Lord, let alone see him.
Gui Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Qin Guihe, are you from the Demonic Palace playing tricks on us again?"
Qin Guihe didn't care: "What if I'm playing tricks on you, you shameless old thief? When you leave the Demonic Palace, believe it or not, I will chop you into 180 pieces and feed them all to the dogs!"
A gleam of light flashed in Gui Yi's eyes, and a dazzling green ghost energy suddenly appeared in his right hand. Then, he roared and rushed towards Qin Guihe. This kind of sneak attack made Qin Guihe unable to react for a moment. He quickly raised his sword to block the attack, but he was also knocked back more than ten meters, crashing into a column and spitting blood.
Gui Yi: "Something really happened to the Demon Lord!"
Qin Guihe was furious when he heard this and cursed, "Shut up! Do you think you can just speculate nonsense about our Palace Master?"
The next moment, the two men were fighting each other.
Qin Guihe had reached the late Mahayana stage hundreds of years ago, while Gui Yi had only been there for a hundred years. During the war between the two clans, Qin Guihe, as the guardian of the Demonic Palace, commanded a large army of human cultivators, slaughtering millions of demons, while Gui Yi was merely a deputy general under his command.
In this fight, Qin Guihe quickly gained the upper hand.
Gui Yi was the cultivator with the highest cultivation level on the righteous side. No one could stop his fight with Qin Guihe, but Luo Jianqing heard Venerable Yu Qingzi say loudly and dissatisfiedly, "The Broken Soul Sect really has some tricks up their sleeves. I've seen them all this time. From now on, no one from the Broken Soul Sect may set foot on Mount Taihua!"
Upon hearing this, the people from the Broken Soul Sect immediately asked, "Yu Qingzi, on what basis do you forbid our Broken Soul Sect from going to Mount Taihua?"
Yu Qingzi sneered and said, "It's all up to me if I'm willing!"
"you!"
Although Yu Qingzi's cultivation wasn't even at the Mahayana stage, the people from the Broken Soul Sect didn't dare confront her, instead muttering quietly, "You talk as if Taihua Mountain is so powerful. Who would want to associate with you? You only have Xuan Lingzi. If it weren't for Xuan Lingzi, who was lucky enough to become a god within three hundred years, Taihua Mountain would have long ceased to be the leader of the righteous path..."
Venerable Yuqingzi sneered and said, "You are a villain who talks behind my back."
"you!"
On this side, the righteous people seemed to be about to fight, and the duel between Qin Guihe and Gui Yi was about to decide the winner. However, this was the Demonic Palace after all, and if Gui Yi really died here, Qin Guihe would not be able to justify it. After all, he was here to celebrate his birthday.
So the battle ended, Qin Guihe held the big knife across the neck of old man Gui Yi and said coldly: "I will spare your life today, but if you dare to act presumptuously in the Demon Palace again, your grandfather will chop you into pieces and feed you to the pigs!" As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Guihe retracted the big knife.
Unexpectedly, at the moment when Qin Guihe put away his knife, Gui Yi took out a dark green gem from the ring.
Yu Qingzi exclaimed in surprise: "Ghost King Pearl!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the righteous people threw away their magic weapons in horror and fled into the distance while protecting their own young ones.
The Ghost King Pearl is a precious pearl condensed from the soul of a thousand-year-old Ghost King. The conditions for forming a Ghost King are extremely demanding. First, they must have suffered a great injustice in their lifetime. Second, their death must occur on an yin year, yin month, yin day, and yin hour. Furthermore, they must recover from a soulless ghost to a living memory within an hour and seek revenge, but they must not succeed.
Combining the above three conditions, after 81 days, the wronged soul will become the King of Ghosts.
If the Millennium Ghost King is eliminated, a Ghost King Pearl will form. Once detonated, it can kill a cultivator in the middle stage of the Tribulation Crossing Stage, or even severely injure a cultivator in the early stage of the Mahayana Stage whose realm is unstable!
Qin Guihe never expected that it was just a verbal argument, but Gui Yi would actually use the precious Ghost King Pearl!
He raised his sword in shock, only to hear Gui Yi angrily shout, "Two hundred years ago, I was assigned to the army of a lowly demon cultivator like you, and suffered humiliation at your hands! Qin Guihe, you will die!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Jianqing suddenly understood that the Second Elder of the Broken Soul Sect had come for Qin Guihe, the Left Protector of the Demonic Palace! The intention of joining forces with the righteous to find the Demon Lord was a lie; their real intention was to avenge their former inferiority.
Luo Jianqing couldn't understand why Gui Yi had such strange thoughts. During the war between the two clans, the demon cultivators were also allies of the righteous path, so it was normal for him to be assigned to Qin Guihe's subordinates. However, people's hearts are unpredictable. Qin Guihe mobilized all his spiritual power to resist, while retreating rapidly.
