Demonic Realm, Night Frontier.
The night was as dark as ink, the wind blew through the sky, and a large number of demon soldiers wearing black armor made of animal bones and holding long blades surrounded the lord's bedroom.
Inside the palace, the palace maids huddled on the ground, listening to the sound of weapons clashing right next to their ears, not daring to move. All the palace maids who resisted were silenced.
But in just a moment, the palace that was brightly lit just now turned into a Shura field with corpses everywhere.
"Where is your lord? Where did he hide?" The leading demon soldier pulled a palace maid up from the ground and asked sternly.
"I... I don't know..." The palace maid was frightened and spoke tremblingly.
"Don't know? You belong to this palace, how could you not know where your lord has gone?"
"I, I really don't know. I'm just a lamplighter... I know nothing about the lord's affairs. Please forgive me..." The palace servant was trembling and about to cry.
Without saying a word, the soldier raised his knife and slashed the neck of the palace maid in his hand.
Blood spurted onto the ground instantly.
"I say again, hand over the lord and I'll spare your lives, otherwise..." He thrust the knife in his hand forward and firmly stabbed the head of the corpse lying on the ground. "This is the end!"
Some of the palace maids lying on the ground whimpered, but no one spoke a word.
Several soldiers picked up the palace maids on the ground and questioned them one by one, but no one could tell the whereabouts of the lord.
"Please, I really don't know anything... Don't kill me..."
"The lord is not here, please spare us..."
"Waste! Kill them all!" the leading soldier said angrily.
The soldiers raised their blades.
"stop!"
The man was wearing black armor, and the long scar at the corner of his mouth looked particularly hideous.
"Greetings, Protector." The soldier immediately knelt down and saluted when he saw Chopin.
"Didn't I say that only those who resist and disobey will be killed?" Chopin lowered his eyes and looked at the leader of the soldiers on the ground with a murderous look in his eyes.
"Sir Protector, they refused to hand over the lord, and I... I also wanted to serve you wholeheartedly, so I acted on my own initiative." The soldier leader replied with his head lowered.
Cold sweat had already appeared on his back, and his legs were shaking as he knelt on the ground.
"You are really a hard-working person. You are violating military orders!" Chopin snorted coldly.
"Master Protector, why are you so angry?"
A young man in a black brocade robe walked slowly towards him upon hearing the sound. His curly hair hung down to his waist, with a faint smile on his lips and a pair of dark eyes that looked particularly distant.
"Your Excellency." Chopin nodded and saluted.
Cen Ji smiled and nodded, looking at a group of soldiers kneeling on the ground.
"Okay, everyone, get up." Cen Ji said coldly.
The soldier kneeling on the ground heard the sound but did not move and continued kneeling.
Cen Ji's eyes turned a little colder.
Chopin, feeling something was amiss, quickly asked, "Can't you hear the Lord telling you to get up? How dare you disobey the Lord's orders? Are you all deaf?"
The soldiers on the ground then stood up one after another.
Cen Ji chuckled softly, walked up to the leading soldier with an unclear expression in his eyes, and looked at the person in front of him quietly.
"If you disobey orders once, you can disobey them a second time, but you won't lose your life." Cen Ji said in a calm tone with a cold look in his eyes.
"I understand." The leading soldier replied with his head lowered.
Cen Ji still stood there without moving.
"My lord, Feng Xu is not here. We are afraid that the news has leaked out and he has evacuated early." Xiao Pin whispered as he looked at Cen Ji's back.
When Xiao Pin said this to remind Cen Ji, he also wanted to give this team of soldiers a way out. These soldiers had just disobeyed the order of their master and were afraid that they had angered him.
Although Cen Ji had been on the throne for a short time, he admired his courage and ability. He had put down the rebellion in the Demon Realm in such a short time, so he was willing to submit to him and assist him in becoming the Lord of the Demon Realm.
"Okay, then let's withdraw our troops." Cen Ji said lightly.
"Yes." Chopin turned around and took a step forward when he suddenly felt a chill on his spine.
Chopin turned around suddenly, only to see countless tentacle-like black mist extending from behind Cen Ji. The strange and terrifying tentacles quickly stretched and expanded, almost covering the entire palace.
It's bone poison.
The black fog spread and wrapped around the soldiers in front of Cen Ji.
Cen Ji stood in the center of the black fog, looking expressionlessly at the soldier in front of him kneeling on the ground in pain and howling loudly.
Xiao Bang lowered his head and dared not speak. Now Cen Ji had absorbed the spiritual power of the old master. If he angered him, he would not end well.
The team of soldiers just now turned into white bones. After a moment, the black mist shrank like a phoenix closing its wings and returned to Cen Ji.
"Do you know why?" Cen Ji asked softly while looking at the other soldiers in the hall.
Upon hearing the sound, all the soldiers in the hall dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word. Xiao Pin also bowed respectfully to the ground. The master was indeed angry.
For a moment, Cen Ji was the only one standing with his hands behind his back in the huge palace.
"I am the Supreme Lord of the Demon Realm!" Cen Ji stretched out his arms and glanced down at the demon army under his feet.
"I will only give my orders once. If you don't listen... this will be the outcome."
Cen Ji had just taken the position of Lord, and what he needed to do now was to establish his authority. Just now, the team of soldiers not only disobeyed his orders, but even did not salute him.
What he wanted was for everyone to fear and respect him, and for his words to be regarded as the will of heaven.
"Did you hear everything this time?"
"Yes! My Lord."
Cen Ji listened to Qi Ru's response and chuckled softly.
"Burn down this palace and withdraw our troops!" Cen Ji waved his sleeves and walked out of the palace.
"yes!"
When Cen Ji walked in front of tens of thousands of soldiers and left the palace of Lord Yejiang, the flames that shot up into the sky illuminated the night and smoke filled the sky.
"My lord, Feng Xu is really cunning. I didn't expect that he was not in Yejiang." Xiao Bang whispered as he walked beside Cen Ji.
He sent soldiers to Yejiang to ask Feng Xu to go to Bugui City, which was also considered as a way to give him a way out. Now Feng Xu could not compete with the Lord on his own.
However, the soldier who came to deliver the letter was kept turned away and did not even see Feng Xu. He was afraid that Feng Xu was raising troops in Yejiang, so he led his troops to kill him.
The Lord arrived halfway, but he didn't expect Feng Xu was not in Yejiang at all.
"He can't cause any trouble. Send troops to garrison Yejiang and control it together with Sha Yanshan. We must dig three feet deep into the ground to find Feng Xu." Cen Ji said coldly.
"I understand." Chopin nodded in response.
"What great things can a person who can't see the situation clearly accomplish?" Cen Ji sneered. He had given Feng Xu a chance, but he didn't seize it. So don't blame him for destroying his life.
He was supposed to compete in the ring today, but he rushed back to the Demon Realm after receiving the news before going on stage. He didn't know if that little devil had looked for him again.
"My Lord, are you still going to Guiyun Sect?" Xiao Bang asked. He really couldn't understand why Cen Ji would go to that sect when he had already secured the position of Lord.
Cen Ji didn't reply, just glanced at Xiao Pin and disappeared on the spot.
He naturally has important things to do and doesn't need others to ask him about them.
He didn't go on the ring today. He had to go back and explain to the kid. He couldn't let the kid think that he was a coward.
