Chapter 343: The Two Brothers Who Finally Received a Blessing
Su Luo looked at the young demons in front of him, who were only about a thousand years old, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good, very energetic!"
"With the emergence of this secret realm, many geniuses from the human side will surely come. You must let them know that the geniuses of the demon race are absolutely no less than theirs!"
Su Luo said earnestly.
After instructing the younger generation, he let out a long breath and felt the gentle breeze brushing against his cheek.
Honestly, I never realized before how refreshing it is to be outside in the wind.
He was actually imprisoned in the "Prison of Ten Thousand Insects" for only a few months, not very long.
For powerful demon race members, a single sleep can last for more than a decade.
But it was during those months of being locked up and suffering that Su Luo truly understood what the "authority of the Demon Emperor" meant.
Previously, because she tried to hide it from her cousin Su Jinxi, she somehow ended up among humans and became a pet of a reclusive human powerhouse. If the Demon King found out about this, she might lose her life.
Although Su Luo and Su Jinxi have always been rivals, competing with each other since childhood.
However, the Nine-Lives Demon Cat clan is different from other tribes. They value family ties, so Su Luo chose to lie to the Demon King.
Then the Demon King searched his soul, and everything was exposed.
Fortunately, the Demon King spared him, considering that he and Mu Gu were both powerful demons who had passed the tenth level of tribulation, and that the war between the demon realm and humans was imminent, and that the two of them were also considered combatants.
But this does not mean he will not be punished. As the saying goes, one may be spared the death penalty but cannot escape the punishment. As a substitute for the death penalty for deceiving the emperor, he must repay the responsibility for disgracing the demon race on behalf of Su Jinxi—that is, to have his cultivation locked up, be imprisoned in the Ten Thousand Insect Prison, and suffer the torment of being devoured by insects!
That feeling was very unpleasant.
At least when Su Luo and Mu Gu were released, it was no different than if they had lost half their lives.
But at least he's still alive.
As a way to atone for his crimes, the Demon King knew that a massive immortal-level secret realm had emerged in the Sun Flame Dynasty. If it were too far away, the demon race would naturally not get involved, but... this was in the Sun Flame Dynasty.
So close!
So close, it's like having a piece of fat right in front of their mouths, why wouldn't the demons come and get a bite?
Therefore, he ordered the two protectors to lead the most outstanding young demons from the demon realm to visit this "Ancient Secret Palace".
And Su Luo.
He is one of the two protectors.
The other one is Mu Gu. These two have been friends since childhood and trust each other a lot, so teaming up is very easy for them.
"Phew, I really don't want to go back to that prison of ten thousand insects."
Mu Gu and Su Luo stood on the giant eagle's head, feeling the oncoming gale, and said with lingering fear.
"Nonsense, who can describe the feeling of being gnawed on by bugs every day?"
Su Luo rolled her eyes.
"Do you remember that it was because you tried to hide Su Jinxi's whereabouts that His Majesty imprisoned us both?"
"...Mine," Su Luo said, looking at Mu Gu's furious expression, and turned her face away somewhat embarrassedly.
indeed.
If they had reported the truth at the time, saying that Su Jinxi had become a human's pet, and then followed the Demon King's wishes by saying something like, "Su Jinxi, as a great demon, is ignorant of the dignity of the demon race and is obsequious to human cultivators. She must be punished..."
Actually, nothing will happen to them. The Demon Emperor might even be so pleased that he might let them do something more important.
But Su Luo just couldn't do that.
Su Jinxi and he had argued and quarreled for thousands of years, so they could be considered enemies. They weren't exactly inseparable, but at least she wouldn't do something like kicking someone when they're down or stabbing them in the back.
"Forget it, it's all in the past."
Mu Gu hummed.
Anyway, he had already suffered the physical pain, and the Demon King wouldn't pursue the matter any further.
What's past is past.
"I wonder how she is now."
Looking at the majestic mountains in the distance, Su Luo suddenly murmured.
That guy, he gave up being the tribal elder, failed his tribulation, and suddenly fled to the human world to become someone's pet. It's really strange... Speaking of which, Su Luo finds this matter a bit odd.
Why did Su Jinxi fail to overcome her tribulation?
She made thorough preparations for advancing to the Mahayana stage, and given her cautious nature, it's impossible for anything to go wrong.
"Speaking of which, I heard some rumors from the eunuchs in the Demon Emperor's City..."
Sudden.
Mu Gu whispered in Su Luo's ear.
"It's said that Yun Ke, that female fox, is very unhappy that Su Jinxi is highly valued by the Demon Emperor." After hearing this, Su Luo rolled her eyes at him.
"What kind of gossip is this? It's common knowledge that the female fox doesn't like Su Jinxi."
Su Jinxi has few friends and few enemies in the Demon Realm, but she does have some.
As for "enemies," the one with whom Su Jinxi had the most strained relationship was Yun Ke, the daughter of the chieftain of the Qingqiu Fox Clan.
However, the two of them were at odds both openly and secretly, and this was no secret at all. They even staged a dramatic scene of tearing each other apart and pulling hairpins at the "Spirit Offering Ceremony" held by the Demon King...
"Exactly, is it possible that Yun Ke, seeing that Su Jinxi is about to break through to the Mahayana stage, can't stand it and is planning to trip her up so that she fails to advance?"
Mu Gu said in a low voice.
The reason for speaking softly.
The reason is that among the young demons who came with them this time, there was a fox clan.
"Do you... have any evidence for that?"
Su Luo frowned slightly. "It's true that the two of them have a very bad relationship, but this is a critical time. Such acts of mutual destruction are very serious. If it is confirmed, His Majesty will definitely not let the Fox Clan off easily."
The demon race competes fiercely with each other, even going so far as to cause each other to fail their tribulations...
Such things can't be said to be nonexistent.
But now, absolutely not!
Because the Demon King is gathering the power of the entire demon race, preparing to start a war!
Whether it's Yun Ke or Su Jinxi, they are both capable generals of the demon race. If a conflict arises between their subordinates now, the Demon Emperor will definitely deal with it seriously!
Of course, if Mu Gu is lying, then the Demon Emperor will not let him off easily for "sowing discord" between the two tribes. "Who knows?"
Mu Gu shrugged. "Anyway, I was just guessing."
"Watch your words. We just got out of the Insect Prison, and I don't want to go back."
Su Luo glanced at him.
"We'll talk about these things when we get back. We're here to protect these younger generation members."
