Prime Minister take care

Chapter 78 The Witch’s Doubts

The fog is heavy, the dark clouds are rolling in, and the sun cannot shine in all year round. The deeper you go, the darker it becomes.

The wind was howling, and deep in the demon lair, on a square made of jade, an altar stood.

Thirteen huge stone pillars surround the altar, and six demons in black robes are at the top of the altar.

The altar is sacred, and in the shallow blue pool at the top, a Devil Emperor egg is enshrined.This dark yellow and translucent Devil Emperor egg has taken shape. From the outside, you can vaguely see that the inside is organized like meridians. With each breath, it is like a human placenta, nurturing life.

This is the place where the Demon King was born. Ordinary Demons cannot approach it at all. Only the noble Yuan Demon among the Demons can come here!
The six Yuan Demons are the top beings among the demon clan. They are not as good as the ordinary demon clan and have wisdom that is not inferior to any living being in this world.

They can think and reflect, they can use past experiences, they can observe the trajectory of things between heaven and earth, and they can inherit the technology passed down by the demon clan in the past.

However, their innate abilities did not give them greater power, but were instead tightly constrained.That is a mark that goes deep into the soul of the bloodline. This mark makes everything they do center around the Demon Emperor.

Each of the six Yuan Demons had a corner and recited obscure scriptures.

The runes engraved on the altar shone brightly. In the shallow pool, the Devil Emperor's egg shrank suddenly faster. The meridians-like tissues pierced the epidermis and stretched into the pool, rapidly absorbing the blue water. The colored liquid is like a newborn baby greedily taking milk.

This is a symbol that the Demon Emperor's eggs are about to hatch, and the chanting sounds of the six elemental demons become faster.

But until the blue liquid in the shallow pool was absorbed by the Demon Emperor's eggs, the Demon Emperor still did not break out of its shell.On the contrary, because of the dry pool water, the Devil Emperor's eggs shrank rapidly, and the vitality visible to the naked eye was rapidly disappearing.The tissues that extended out of the epidermis began to wither, like dead tree bark, turning into dead ash and floating in the air.

This devil emperor's young egg failed to hatch, but this is just the epitome of countless attempts by the demons over thousands of years.

"We have used up all the spiritual liquid we have stored, let Su Mei send some more!"

"The tide of wild beasts in spring has passed, and the road over Yang Jue Pass should have been opened. This little fox has been very safe over the years. But I heard that there have been some changes in the human race, which may have some impact on our transaction. Influence."

"It doesn't matter. That little fox is just a fake. She doesn't have the ability to make spiritual liquid. That little fox is very alert. If things change, she will definitely retreat as soon as possible."

"It's a pity that no grass can grow outside this Yangjue Pass. All the materials we need are in the human race. Otherwise, we can refine it ourselves."

The several primordial demons were discussing, and they didn't feel any discouragement because of the failure just now, nor did they feel any boredom because of the failure of the day after day.

The vast majority of demons don't have any good thoughts in their hearts, and the Yuan Demons who stand at the top of the demons don't even have evil thoughts in their hearts.

These primordial demons can think, perceive, and look at other things in this world from an absolutely rational perspective.It looks detached, but it has limitations.

That is the Demon Emperor.

All their needs are centered on the Devil Emperor's interests, and the more detached they seem, the more paranoid they become.

However there are always some exceptions.

"Have you failed again?"

This is a female Yuan Demon.He has knee-length black hair, skin as white as snow, and a tall figure that is as tall as any man's.Even in the human world, she is an undisputed beauty.But in those eyes that should have been dark, blue flames were burning in the pupils.

This is a symbol of the Yuan Demons and a sign that distinguishes them from ordinary demons.

Biological genes will mutate during the process of transmission.Even among demons with a very strict inheritance process, accidents will always happen.

Why am I here doing this day in and day out?

Not long ago, this female Yuan Demon suddenly had this question in her mind.Like a stone dropped into calm water, waves arose in her heart.

Then, one question after another expanded from this most primitive question, making her heart no longer as peaceful as before.

"Nian Xianchen, what's wrong with you?" The cold face of the partner beside him remained the same, but Nian Xianchen felt very strange.Although it is close at hand, it is as far as the sky.

"fine!"

Nian Xianchen knew that even if she expressed her doubts, no one here could answer them.Instead, she will be punished very harshly and cruelly.

Yang is absolutely closed.

The room was dark, without any firelight.Xu He came back from outside, tired all over, ready to go to bed.

As the governor of Liang, Xu He has an independent residence.He tried his best to persuade Zhu Zi to stop his plan to attack the demon cave.

"Liang and Shu are at war. In order to prevent unexpected events, Liangzhou will send a strong force to garrison Guoting. In this way, both Liang and Shu will have concerns. Liangzhou can also reap the benefits of the fishermen."

A soft sound made Xu He, who was sitting on the couch, break into a cold sweat.This was Xu He's reason for persuading Zhu Zi not to attack the devil's cave.After ten years of getting along, Xu He knew Zhu Zi better than Yang Xian and knew that he was too cautious.Compared with the uncertain wealth in the devil's cave, Liang Jun and Shu Jun had real gold, silver, food and grass.

"Who?"

A candle lighted up in the room. Xu He stood up and looked in the direction of the fire. Yang Xian was sitting there, holding a cup of steaming tea in his hand.

"Zou Yi, what do you want to do when you come into my house at night?"

"Xu Changshi, is this how you repay a lifesaver?"

"What do you mean?"

"Xu Changshi probably doesn't know yet! The monster clan under your command has begun to evacuate Liangzhou. And Su Mei also plans to treat you as an abandoned child. If it weren't for me, the evidence of crimes left by Su Mei would have been exposed. Chariot General Zhu Zi's hands."

"impossible!"

Xu He shouted loudly, without any of the graceful demeanor of the scribes in the past.He didn't believe that those scoundrels would be willing to lose their shelter and live a life of food and shelter.

What was waiting for Xu He was not the answer to the doubts in his heart, but a chuckle.

Xu He looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes turning cold.

"You hold me in your hand, what do you want to do?"

"At this moment, Liang and Shu are confronting each other, and there is no winner in the short term. But if there is a strong army that breaks out from Guoting and goes straight to the rear of the Liang army, then the victory or defeat will be seen in an instant. Xu Changshi is willing to do this to protect the great Zhou. The first hero, to redeem the past?"

"Are you a member of Yang Xian or the Emperor?" Xu He squinted his eyes, tried hard to suppress his murderous intention, and approached step by step until he was at a suitable distance, "Do you think you can hold my evidence in your hand?" Can you blackmail me? If I kill you and then that bitch, I can still secure my position as the governor of Liang."

Xu He could tell that the boy in front of him had mediocre cultivation, and this distance was enough to kill him.

It's just that Xu He just raised his hand, and the bright yellow candlelight beside Yang Xian instantly turned green.A fireball the size of a thumb sent Xu Hejian ten steps away.

Xu He, who was lying on the ground with blood at the corner of his mouth, said unwillingly: "What kind of person is Huan Wu? How could he not be careful about his own retreat?"

Yang Xian smiled, stood up, and walked slowly towards Xu He.To Xu He, this smile looked like a devil.

"Others can't do it, but Xu Changshi can certainly do it. For many years, Xu Changshi has been secretly communicating with Huan Wu. If Zhu Zi sends others, Huan Wu will be wary. But if Xu Changshi is willing to ask for help, Huan Wu will feel relieved. , put all the troops into the battle to attack Shu."

At this moment, looking at the young man in front of him, Xu He really felt fear in his heart.
