Chapter 441 Spirit and Will (Part 2): A Lament
The entire Stone City was bustling with activity on the day the Red Devils paraded.
The streets were crowded with all sorts of monsters, each stretching its neck.
Xiao Mei and the others woke up before dawn.
"hurry up!"
"If you go late, you won't get a good spot!"
Little Sheep grabbed Hiss's tail with one hand and Er Gou's collar with the other, running excitedly toward the city gate.
Hiss looked reluctant.
"Why are you pushing..."
"A bunch of demons huddled together, they stink."
Er Gou was very excited, his tongue lolling out: "Look at the Red Devils! Look at the Red Devils!"
Lu Yuguan had absolutely no interest in the parade.
He leaned against the window on the second floor of the tavern, gazing in the direction of the park next to the city lord's mansion.
The temple is right there.
"Tongzi, is Lingyuan really inside the temple?"
[That should be correct]
However, the Demon Realm is inherently lacking in spiritual energy, but it's even more scarce inside.
"Great!"
Lu Yuguan clenched his fist.
Once this is fixed, I can go back to see the Great Ancestor!
Just then, the sound of a horse-drawn carriage came from downstairs.
We've arrived at Litian.
He was dressed in formal attire today, and his smile was impeccable: "My lord, the city lord has ordered me to escort you to the temple for the ceremony."
Lu Yuguan nodded and followed him into the carriage.
The carriage drove towards the park. There were many demons around the temple, but elite demon soldiers guarded the area, and other demons were not allowed to get close.
The platform has been erected.
The rabbit demon sat in the center, dressed in a gorgeous little suit with a bow tie around its neck.
Upon seeing Lu Yuguan arrive, it waved with a smile.
"The boss is here! Please have a seat!"
Lu Yuguan nodded slightly and sat down in the seat next to it.
"The city lord is very impressive today."
"Excellent!"
The rabbit demon spoke politely, but its ears twitched smugly.
It asked, seemingly casually, "Is the tavern closed today, boss? Where are your employees?"
“I went to watch the parade,” Lu Yuguan said casually. “Young demons love excitement.”
"Yeah, it's great to be young."
The rabbit demon echoed, its red eyes darting around.
The two monks and demons from the temple exchanged glances upon seeing the important figures arrive.
"The time has come, please present the Scarlet Devil's token!"
They turned to face the temple gate, which was covered with magical runes, and formed complex hand seals.
hum...
The magic patterns on the door lit up one by one.
Lu Yuguan held his breath.
The opportunity is coming!
Just as the door was about to open—
"It's not good, it's not good!"
A pitiful figure scrambled over and collapsed below the platform.
It's a little lamb!
She was covered in wounds, a piece of her ram's horn was broken off, and her dress was tattered and stained with blood and dust.
"City, City Lord!"
"Oh no!"
Xiao Mei's voice was hoarse and trembling with tears.
"Human cultivators have attacked!"
"So many flying boats!"
what? !
An uproar erupted instantly around the platform!
The rabbit demon suddenly stood up, its little face grim: "Humans dare to launch an attack on the Demon Realm?"
"Absolutely true!"
Little Sheep coughed up blood, "Everyone is still holding them off, they sent me to deliver the message..."
The rabbit's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
"OK……"
"I intended to follow orders from my superiors and march on Zhongdu on a chosen day, but I never expected them to deliver themselves to our doorstep!"
The rabbit demon was surrounded by surging demonic energy, and its chilling killing intent caused the surrounding temperature to plummet.
It turned its head to look at Lu Yuguan, its scarlet tongue licking its lips.
"Boss, human cultivators' flesh and blood are highly nutritious, and their nascent souls are even more delicious..."
"Want to go try something new?"
All the demons' eyes were focused on Lu Yuguan.
Lu Yu cursed inwardly.
Ah shit.
This spicy rabbit head is so disgusting!
Although he thought this way, he remained calm on the surface.
"Thank you for your kindness, City Lord."
"However, this mermaid's cultivation is low, and I am not good at fighting. I cannot bear to see bloodshed, so I will wait here for the city lord's triumphant return."
The rabbit demon stared at him for a full three seconds, its ruby-like eyes filled with suspicion.
Are sea creatures not good at fighting?
What a liar!
The battles in the endless sea of demons are a hundred times more brutal than those on land!
But now is not the time to delve into it.
"In that case, boss, please wait here for a moment."
The rabbit demon leaped off the platform, its voice echoing throughout the surroundings:
"All demon soldiers, heed my command!"
"Follow this city lord to meet the enemy and slaughter all the human invaders!"
Roar! ! !
The demon soldiers roared and followed the rabbit demon like a black tide towards the city gate.
In the blink of an eye, the area in front of the temple became much emptier.
Lu Yuguan looked in the direction they had disappeared and breathed a sigh of relief, "The troublemakers are all gone..."
He turned around and stared intently at the temple gate.
The two monks, who were demons, were still guarding the door, looking wary.
Lu Yuguan strode away.
"Sir, please stop here."
A monk-demon reached out to stop him, saying, "The token has not yet been presented. Please return to your seat and wait."
Lu Yuguan kept moving forward.
"I've changed my mind. I want to go in and take a look."
Another monk-demon stepped forward, blocking the doorway, and said in a forceful tone: "The Red Demon's token is sacred and inviolable!"
"No demon may enter without the city lord's permission!"
Lu Yuguan's eyes turned cold.
"Step aside."
"I'm sorry, but I obey!"
The two monks, both demons, simultaneously unleashed their demonic powers, their demonic energy linking together to form a barrier.
"Humph!"
"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with alcohol!"
Lu Yuguan stopped wasting words and his mind was set on something!
boom! ——
The pure and boundless demonic energy, like a giant sea monster, suddenly awakened!
The demon shark's nascent soul erupted with a dark light!
The fins behind his ears unfolded instantly, shimmering with a cold luster, and his pupils turned into a deep ocean blue.
The demonic aura emanating from him surged like a tide, pressing down on the two monk-demons until they could barely breathe!
"This...this is..."
The monk's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with horror.
Bloodline suppression of superior sea races!
"Go away!"
Lu Yuguan gave a low shout and lightly plucked the strings of his golden harp!
hum...
A highly condensed beam of demonic light, like an undercurrent at the bottom of the sea, rushed straight towards the barrier!
"The Records of the Solar Terms, Part Two..."
"A lament."
As the strings were plucked, the surrounding space trembled.
The two monks and demons looked solemn. They were doing their best to maintain the barrier, but found themselves to be so small under this demonic light.
"A mournful song rises, and all demons fall silent!"
Lu Yuguan's voice was low and somber, each word carrying endless sorrow.
The two monks and demons exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
they know.
He was not only facing a demonic shark, but also someone who possessed a heaven-level cultivation technique.
"break!"
Lu Yuguan shouted again, his fingers suddenly slicing across the strings, and an even more dazzling magical light swept out like a tornado, instantly piercing through the barrier!
Click!
The demonic energy barrier shattered instantly!
The two monks were struck as if by a heavy blow, both spitting blood as they flew backward and crashed heavily into the temple wall.
"puff!"
"You...you dare to force your way into...the Crimson Demon's Holy Land..."
One of the monks, a demon, struggled to get up.
Lu Yuguan didn't even bother to look at them and walked to the temple gate.
The magic runes on the door flickered unpredictably due to the impact.
He reached out and pressed his hand against the door.
The power of the Demon Shark's Nascent Soul surged forth!
hum...
The gate trembled violently, and the magical runes on it broke off inch by inch!
"Open it!"
Lu Yuguan growled.
Boom!
The heavy door was pushed open forcefully, and the scene inside came into view.
An ordinary stone altar.
Above the stone altar, a withered, broken arm floats.
