City of No Return, Temple.
"My Lord, Lord Sha Yanshan has arrived outside the city."
In the black and red Demon Realm Temple, Cen Ji sat on the Demon Lord's throne, supporting his chin with his arm, looking at His Highness Chopin with a calm expression.
He took off his old cotton-padded clothes and put on a dark black brocade robe with gold embellishments. His long curly hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin and fell on his shoulders and arms.
A pair of dark eyes, long upturned eyelashes, and an indelible gloom under the eyes.
"Finally here." Cen Ji said lightly.
He has been in the Demon Realm for nearly half a month, and he didn't expect that Sha Yanshan was so patient.
"Do you want me to order someone to stop them?" Chopin asked.
Half a month ago, Cen Ji ascended the throne as the Lord of the Demon Realm. In just half a month, he won over the hearts of all the people in the City of No Return.
"No need, let him in. The lord has come to see me, so I can't just turn the door away and not see him." Cen Ji said with a smile.
He has already merged most of Rong Jue's spiritual roots. With the spiritual power in his body now, it is enough to deal with Jing Jiu.
After a while, several people rushed into the hall.
The leader had a mask on half of his face and his face was covered with scars.
"After such a long time, I see today that this holy city is really different from what it used to be... There has been a big change..." Before Jing Jiu even entered the temple, his anxious voice came over.
There were many old people around Rong Jue who were dissatisfied with Cen Ji, and all those who were dissatisfied with him were killed by him. Now there are many new faces in the temple, all of whom were cultivated and promoted by Xiao Pin and Gui Ren.
"Jingjiu, why don't you bow when you see the Lord?" Guiren said coldly as he stood at the foot of the throne steps.
"Hahaha! General Ming, Rong Zhen died a long time ago, so where does the lord come from?" Jing Jiu said with a smile, stretching his arms.
If he doesn't sit on the throne of the Lord, no one else can.
"You don't think that you can just find some wild boy and let your puppet take over the position of the Lord, do you?" Jing Jiu's eyes flashed with viciousness.
"Rong Zhen is dead, and I am the best candidate for the new Lord. As for what you're talking about, the son of Rong Zhen? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"Boy, get down from your seat. I will leave your body intact today." Jing Jiu pointed at Cen Ji who was sitting on the throne and scolded.
"Your name is Jing Jiu, right?" Cen Ji said lightly, lowering his eyes to look at Jing Jiu.
"What? You don't want a complete corpse..." Jing Jiu narrowed his eyes and looked at Cen Ji dangerously.
He's just a wild boy, he wants to see what this brat is capable of.
"Don't speak too early." Cen Ji said with a smile.
"You little brat, don't think that a bastard like you can really hold this position. I've asked people about it, and you're just a crappy outer disciple of Guiyun Sect! You're not even worthy of carrying my shoes! Ghost Blade and Chopin can't protect you!" Jing Jiu drew the long sword from his waist and looked coldly at the young man sitting on the high platform.
Cen Ji frowned and curled the corners of his mouth.
If Ijima was so rude, he would more than just want him to shut up.
Cen Ji stood up and slowly walked down the stairs, stopping in front of Jing Jiu.
Ghost Blade put a little more strength into his knife-grip hand and stared at Jing Jiu with vigilance.
"Oh, you are not afraid of death?" Jing Jiu looked at the boy in front of him sarcastically.
Cen Ji's indifferent brows were suddenly filled with a smile, and black smoke floated around him, lingering around Jing Jiu like a snake.
Jing Jiu looked at the black smoke in front of him, and suddenly his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
"What...what is that?"
"Black smoke..."
The men brought by Jing Jiu retreated one after another, not daring to take a step forward for fear of being contaminated by the black smoke.
"This is... bone poison." Jing Jiu raised his hand and looked at the black blood vessels and meridians on his arm with a trembling voice.
"You..." Jing Jiu looked at the young man standing in front of him in disbelief. How could he have Rong Jue's bone poison? He... He absorbed Rong Jue's spiritual roots...
"Impossible, how could this be..." Jing Jiu endured the severe pain in his lungs and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"You are so stupid. I'm afraid you have been tricked by others. You come here to die so that others can make way." Cen Ji looked at Jing Jiu with a smile.
Jing Jiu is also quite pitiful. He didn't even know that he had absorbed the spiritual root of Rong Jue. Almost the entire Demon Realm knew about this, but he was the only one who was kept in the dark.
Perhaps he was instigated by someone to instigate Jing Jiu to come to the Holy City to kill him, but in fact he was sending Jing Jiu to his death.
"You...how is it possible..." Jing Jiu opened his eyes wide and looked at Cen Ji in disbelief.
Bone poison is called bone poison but it is not a poison that is put into the bones. Instead, the flesh of the poisoned person will dissipate and only the skeleton will remain.
Until his death, Jing Jiu could not believe that Cen Ji had actually absorbed Rong Zhen's spiritual roots.
"My Lord! It was Jing Jiu who forced us to come here! We have no second thoughts towards you, Lord!" The people brought by Jing Jiu knelt down hurriedly and said nervously.
"My Lord! This was all his idea. We were forced to do this!"
"Yes, it was Jing Jiu who didn't take you seriously, and we were also coerced by him."
"Ghost Blade, it's too noisy." Cen Ji turned around, walked up the stairs and sat back in his seat.
"I understand." As Gui Ren raised his hand, the guards quickly entered the hall, and the people brought by Jing Jiu were knocked unconscious and dragged away from the temple.
These people cannot be kept. They can even scheme against their own masters in this way. Keeping them will only bring disaster.
"From today on, the lord system of Shayan Mountain will be abolished and it will be governed by the Holy City. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy." Cen Ji said coldly while sitting in a high position.
"I obey your orders!"
