Meanwhile, outside the secret room.
After arranging the guards, Long Zhan led everyone away.
Yun Yao was placed in the guest room, where Liu Qianqian tended to her wounds.
Mingli went to the city wall to continue monitoring the surrounding area.
Chen Wanqing stood on a high place in the city lord’s residence, looked up at the secret room, and was silent for a long time.
He remembered David’s appearance when he returned, his pale face, and his weak breathing, and an indescribable heartache rose in his heart.
He thought again of the woman named Yun Yao, and the way she leaned against David, and a strange bitterness rose in his heart.
He knew that David never lacked women.
She also knew that her relationship with David was nothing more than a martial arts contest to find a husband.
However, he still couldn’t hold back
He shook his head, smiled wryly, then turned away.
Maybe, this is fate.
While David was recuperating, the Demon Dragon leader, Long Yuan, had been alone in the depths of the Demon Realm for several days.
The Demon Realm was vast and boundless; the deeper one went, the harsher the environment became.
The dark red lightning in the sky grew denser, each bolt carrying devastating power.
On the ground level, boiling lava flows could be seen everywhere, giving off a pungent smell of sulfur.
The air was filled with dense demonic energy. If an ordinary cultivator inhaled even a single breath, he would lose his cool and become a demonic creature that only knew how to exterminate.
Longyuan turned into a dark red dragon, traversing the devilish energy.
Its scales shimmered with a sinister light, resisting the erosion of the demonic energy.
The flight took five full days.
Five days later, he finally arrived at the deepest part of the Demon Realm.
This was a barren, arid plain devoid of anything, not even lava.
The ground was covered in black gravel, which shimmered eerily under the dark red lightning.
In the middle of the plain stood a huge black palace.
The palace was several times more magnificent than the Demon Dragon Palace. The entire building was made of unknown black crystal, with dark red patterns flowing on the surface, like blood vessels, pulsating faintly.
The palace was surrounded by a series of extremely strict restrictions, each strong enough to wipe out even a True Immortal Realm expert.
Longyuan landed in front of the palace, transformed into human form, and knelt respectfully on the ground.
“Your subordinate Long Yuan requests an audience with His Majesty.”
His voice echoed throughout the silent plains.
A moment later, the palace door slowly opened, and a black beam of light shot out from within, hitting Long Yuan.
“Come.”
An old voice sounded, without any emotion at all.
Long Yuan took a deep breath, stood up, and stepped into the palace.
The palace is even more magnificent on the inside than it looks from the outside.
The dome was very tall, inlaid with countless dark red gems, emitting a sinister light.
The surrounding walls were filled with ancient runes, which shimmered with dark red light, as if they were alive.
In the middle of the hall stood a huge black throne.
An old man sat on a throne.
The old man had a wrinkled face with deep wrinkles and white hair that flowed down his shoulders.
His eyes were dark purple, so deep that they seemed to swallow all light.
The aura he radiated was restrained, making it impossible to know his true strength, but Long Yuan knew that this person was the true master of the Demon Realm.
He was none other than Mo Wuxin, the Demon King who turned Long Yuan and the others into demon dragons in the past.
Beside Mo Wuxin stood two people.
A man and a woman, both young.
The man wore a long black robe, with a handsome face, well-defined eyebrows and bright eyes, and a faint smile on his lips.
The aura he possessed was as deep as the ocean, giving people a feeling of immeasurable depth.
The woman wore a long purple dress, had a charming appearance, a calm and indifferent manner, and eyes that shone like stars.
He stood quietly beside the man, his gaze fixed on Long Yuan with a hint of scrutiny.
Long Yuan glanced at the two, secretly surprised.
He had never seen the two of them before.
Who are they?
Why can he stand next to adults?
However, he did not ask any more questions. He simply knelt respectfully on the ground and kowtowed, saying, “Your subordinate Long Yuan extends greetings to His Majesty.”
Mo Wuxin raised his hand slightly, gesturing for him to stand up.
