At night, the imperial city is still bustling with traffic, shops and lights.
Qingshu Pavilion is located in the suburbs outside the imperial city, occupying several hilltops.
"My Lord, Protector Xiao has arrived."
Cen Ji stood at the highest point of the mountain, with his hands behind his back, looking down at the twinkling lights below.
"Jiuzhou has been peaceful for hundreds of years, it's time to liven up the country." Cen Ji lowered his gloomy eyes.
"My Lord." Xiao Bang, dressed in black armor, appeared behind Cen Ji and saluted respectfully.
Cen Ji turned around and looked at Chopin. Chopin had always been loyal to him during the years he worked under him.
"Protector Xiao, if I destroy Qingshu Pavilion today, in your opinion, is it right or wrong?" Cen Ji asked.
Xiao Bang's expression paused for a moment, then he said, "I dare not judge whether you are right or wrong. You naturally have your own considerations when you act. I only follow your orders."
Chopin admired the Lord, his methods and wisdom.
Over the past seven years, Cen Ji has taken control of the entire Demon Realm's military, amended many unreasonable laws, personally promoted many subordinates, and firmly grasped the power of the Demon Realm. He is truly worthy of the title of Lord.
Wusu has now been destroyed, and no one in the Demon Realm dares to disobey him.
Cen Ji chuckled as he listened to Chopin's answer.
Although Xiao Pin and Gui Ren are both subordinates of Rong Zhi, he is a loyal and reliable person.
"It's strange. Rong Zhen has never set foot in Jiuzhou. How could such an ambitious man like him be willing to have no aggression with Jiuzhou?" Cen Ji narrowed his eyes slightly.
Rong Zhen was able to conquer the Demon Realm and sit on the throne of the Demon Realm's Lord, so it is impossible that he did not have the ambition to conquer the world.
Xiao Pin seemed to be hesitant to speak after listening to Cen Ji's words, but he finally spoke. "Actually, the old master can't be said to be an ambitious person..."
Cen Ji looked at Xiao Pin and waited for his next words, but Xiao Pin did not continue.
"Then tell me, what kind of person is he?" Cen Ji asked.
Cen Ji only knew that Rong Zhen was a vicious person with extremely cruel methods and only eyes for power.
He didn't know anything about Rong Jue. After all, the first time they met, Rong Jue was already lying in an ice coffin.
"I started following the old lord after he took the throne. I don't know much about him, but the old lord treats his subordinates very well and is... very kind." Chopin said lightly.
Cen Ji raised his thick eyebrows slightly.
This was the first time he heard that Rong Jue was kind. Could it be that Gui Ren was exaggerating and saying too many bad things about Rong Jue?
Ghost Blade has always been by Rong Jue's side. If he can cast the Delusion Devouring Curse on him, then naturally he can cast it on Rong Jue as well...
The ghost blade is really well hidden.
Cen Ji's expression grew a little colder, and he looked at the lights of Qingshu Pavilion below with disdain.
Rong Jue can be controlled by Ghost Blade in a group, but he is the one he cannot control.
I'm afraid Ghost Blade also regretted bringing him back to the Demon Realm.
The Delusion Devouring Curse had no way to restrain him now. His spiritual roots were wearing away the Delusion Devouring Curse bit by bit every year. Although he found this matter strange, he did not delve into it.
Ghost Blade...will sooner or later become the soul of his dead men.
"Go surround Qingshu Pavilion and don't let a single bird out." Cen Ji ordered in a cold voice. "Follow my orders at any time."
"Yes!" Chopin saluted and retreated.
Cen Ji gently stroked the sound transmission ring in his hand.
It will be soon, he will be able to meet the little ghost soon.
By then he would hold her tightly in his arms and tell her that he would never leave her again.
He has waited so hard for these seven years.
......
Imperial City, Qingshu Pavilion.
"Who are you?"
"Do you know where this is? How dare you come here!"
The disciples of Qingshu Pavilion drew their swords and pointed them at the newcomers.
Qi Jiang and Xiao Bang stood outside Qingshu Pavilion, quietly watching the patrolling disciples draw their swords and rush over.
"Wait, the Lord only said to surround us, he didn't tell us to kill anyone." Xiao Pin stopped Qi Jiang who was about to rush forward.
Qi Jiang has revealed his true form, turning into a giant python with a dark body, a mouth as big as a door, and a length of dozens of meters.
He didn't want to kill anyone, he came for revenge.
Behind Xiao Bang, a black mass of Demon Realm troops appeared out of thin air, all of them wearing animal armor and holding long blades, and surrounded Qingshu Pavilion without any explanation.
"What is that thing!"
"It's a monster! It's a monster! Run!" The patrolling disciples were so scared that their faces turned pale and they fled in all directions.
"There's an attack coming, report it!"
Qi Jiang opened his bloody mouth and swallowed a patrolling disciple in one gulp. His flexible snake tail swept over and entangled several disciples.
It spit out tongues and put all the heads into its mouth. The patrolling disciples had no time to shout before they were sucked into its stomach.
Before Qi Jiang could crawl into Qingshu Pavilion, Xiao Pin grabbed his tail and dragged him out.
"Listen, you stupid snake!"
Qi Jiang turned back into human form, burped, and raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Reckless man." Xiao Pin gave Qi Jiang a cold look.
This stupid snake doesn't listen to anyone except the Lord's words. After it turned into a snake, it couldn't be pulled back.
He dared to eat people even though the Lord didn't tell them to. He is so brave. Just wait for the Lord to punish him later.
Qi Jiang pondered Chopin's words. He is a python, a python husband... Is he talking about him?
Didn't the Lord mean to attack Qingshu Pavilion by asking them to surround it? If he didn't kill those disciples and let them go back to report the news, wouldn't things be even more troublesome?
......
"Who are you?" Wu Xun, holding a long sword, looked warily at the man in black in front of him. "Tell me your name."
