Chapter 126 Meeting the Demon Lord
The three followed the Black Shark Demon King onto a flying boat, and the Xuan Turtle Demon General stepped forward to gather information.
“Your Highness, we are just Foundation Establishment stage demon generals. Let alone His Majesty the Demon Lord, we have never even seen the Demon Emperors. We don’t know what happened to us that made His Majesty the Demon Lord want to see us.”
Out of respect for the Venerable One, these matters should not be spoken of, but the Black Shark Demon King did. Firstly, all three of them were his people, especially the Xuan Turtle Demon General, who was his direct subordinate. Secondly, he felt that it was a good thing for the Demon Venerable One to see them, not to punish them, so there was no need to keep this secret.
He spoke frankly: "Since you asked, I won't beat around the bush. I'll just tell you straight. It's true that this is also my first time meeting the Demon Lord. I'm in the same boat as you. I don't dare to ask anything. But I saw that the Venerable One looked very happy, so I guess it must be something good. So, you don't need to panic. Just be open and honest."
His words put the group at ease. As long as nothing serious happened, that was all that mattered. Soon, the flying boat arrived at the sea of clouds, and the Black Shark Demon King dropped them off there, leaving the rest of the journey to them.
Gu Yuchuan stepped onto the sea of clouds. The touch was incredibly soft, a truly magical feeling. This softness was even better than his little bed. Well, he decided that when he became powerful enough, he would replace his bed with a cloud. It would be absolutely wonderful.
After walking a few steps, the group saw two figures: a demon lord and a fox spirit. They immediately bowed in respect.
"This humble demon greets Your Majesty the Demon Lord and Your Majesty the Fox Immortal."
The Demon Lord raised his hand, and they stood up straight.
The next second, the Demon Lord's cold voice rang out: "Alright, no need for formalities. We are the demon race here, we don't stand on ceremony. Please sit down."
After he finished speaking, three futons appeared beneath the three of them, and they sat down on them. The Demon Lord's attitude did indeed seem quite good.
Do you know why I sent you here?
After saying this, the three of them exchanged glances. In fact, they did have some guesses in their hearts, which were nothing more than the reason of the otherworldly cultivators and merits. Finally, the Xuan Turtle Demon General spoke.
"Your Majesty, we do have some guesses. It may be related to cultivators from another world, or it may be related to the merits we possess. If I am wrong, please forgive me."
The Demon Lord laughed out loud: "What's there to forgive? You little demon, you're not being fair. You're absolutely right, it's all because of these two things. Let's start with the simple one, which is merit. I've opened my Heavenly Eye, and the fortune of the three of you is now very profound. Your future opportunities will not be bad, and it's even possible that you could go further and become a primary Child of Fortune. Our Azure Cloud Realm is just a primary Lesser Thousand World, and the Heavenly Dao can only give birth to primary Children of Fortune."
The fox spirit spoke at this moment. Her voice was very moving. Just listening to her voice was like entering a fairyland: "That's right. The Demon Lord was able to break through to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage because he was a beginner-level Chosen One. If you take another step forward, not to mention the Nascent Soul stage, the Nascent Soul stage will be very easy. As for you now, you can practically achieve the Golden Core stage while lying down, and the level won't be low either."
This answered their questions, explaining the power of merit and fortune. The three of them naturally thanked him.
Now it's time to get down to business. The Demon Lord's expression became much more serious: "Alright, now let me tell you about the other world. Actually, I already discovered the spatial rift when it appeared. In fact, I was the one who dealt with that spatial rift for you, otherwise you little snake demon would be full of karma."
A cold sweat broke out on Gu Yuchuan's back. He had too many secrets, and theoretically, he shouldn't be spied on like this. But unbeknownst to him, a Nascent Soul cultivator had been watching him for so long, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy. However, he must not have exposed the simulator, otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
He quickly stood up: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I was unconscious at the time and had no idea about this. Otherwise, I would have come to thank Your Majesty long ago."
The Demon Lord waved his hand and made him sit down again: "Alright, the appearance of this spatial rift in Yunhai Marsh is something I should be concerned about. I didn't show up at the time because I didn't want to talk about it. I just happened to come across it today, so I'll talk about it. It's not the main thing today."
The fox spirit spoke again: "That's right. We came here today for the matter of the Canglan Realm. If they can invade us, we can invade them too. We've investigated, and they are also a beginner-level Lesser Thousand World, even a little weaker than us. If we can take them down and offer them as sacrifices to the Qingyun Realm, the Heavenly Dao will favor us, and our demon race's strength will surely increase greatly. Then we won't just be able to engage in such small-scale skirmishes."
All three were intelligent and naturally understood what they meant. They each had their own thoughts, but it was no longer up to them.
Finally, the Xuan Turtle Demon General spoke: "Your Majesty, we are willing to follow Your Majesty's lead."
However, he was interrupted: "It's not you, it's only the Azure Scale Demon General. You are the one who created the rift, and only you have the aura of space. Only you can go in without being detected. The other two, step back and wait for him outside."
After saying that, although the two of them were worried about Gu Yuchuan, there was nothing they could do, so they slowly left, leaving Gu Yuchuan feeling very uneasy.
He had never forgotten his principles of cultivation: to live a peaceful life. He had an advantage, so he didn't need to risk his life. He could live a peaceful life and eventually reach the peak. But this time, it was not something he could control, so he could only agree.
"Your Majesty, my strength is insignificant; I am merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator. What use would I be?"
The Demon Lord laughed out loud: "You didn't expect this, did you? The other side only sent a few Foundation Establishment cultivators, right? You are called vanguards, there to provide vision. As long as you place the array plate I gave you next to someone with good fortune, you will have completed the mission. At that time, not only will the world reward you, but I will also give you a lot of rewards. Get ready. I will inform you soon. Don't worry, I will prepare protective items for you and do my best to ensure your safety."
Since he had already said those words, he hadn't really given Gu Yuchuan any way to refuse, so Gu Yuchuan could only accept it. However, he still felt a little sad inside.
"Alright, go back now. Get ready. I'll let you know in advance. Remember to keep it a secret, and don't tell those two little demons outside. Let's go."
