I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2143 Going to the meeting alone
"Um, General, can we not take the credit?" The village representative who was selected earlier said with a trembling voice and a pale face, almost falling to the ground. His eyes were full of fear and uneasiness, as if the black-faced general in front of him was a beast that would eat anyone it could.

General Nie Yun's face was as gloomy as water. He stared coldly at the village representative in front of him, and his voice was full of unquestionable majesty: "What do you think I am? Do you think the credit is something you can take if you want it or not? Since you want to share Sui Yang's credit, you have to share some of the work he has to do!"

After saying this, the general motioned for the soldiers beside him to come forward. The soldiers were well-trained and acted quickly, picking up the villagers who were still immersed in fantasy one by one and taking them away. Although their actions were rough, they did not cause any substantial harm to the villagers.

Seeing the villagers being taken away, General Nie Yun frowned slightly. These villagers were originally from the Platinum Divine Realm, and had little to do with their Skyfire Divine Realm.

At the beginning, when Lao Hu and his men discovered this village, they decided to deal with these people only because there was a formation left by Liu Jun in the village. They made an exception and invited them to the military camp and gave them a high-level reception.

However, this group of people were not satisfied. They greedily set their sights on Sui Yang's achievements, and attempted to improve their own status by snatching them away. This behavior was undoubtedly asking for trouble.

At this time, Sui Yang came to Liu Jun, his face full of apology: "Your Majesty, I am sorry to have caused you trouble. It is all my fault. I have implicated you and the entire village."

"It's okay, you did help me, but these villagers are too greedy and ignorant, you don't have to take it too seriously. Moreover, this also allows you to see their true colors, so you can be on guard in the future." Liu Jun said nonchalantly.

As for the lives of these villagers, it was obvious that he didn't care. They chose their own path and they had to pay the price themselves.

On the other side, the villagers who were taken away were being held in a simple tent. They looked at each other with regret and fear in their eyes. They finally understood that greed and ignorance would eventually backfire on them.

Liu Jun had no plan to stay in the military camp for long. He had already made a clear decision in his mind, so he resolutely embarked on the journey alone.

He couldn't bring Xu Baoer with him on this operation because he had the aura of a high-level ancient demon as a disguise, which allowed him to go deep into the black demon's lair without being discovered. However, Xu Baoer didn't have such an ability, and bringing her would only increase the risk of exposure.

The Black Demon's lair was not very close to the Skyfire Divine Realm's military camp, and one had to cross a barren wilderness and dense forest. Liu Jun's speed was extremely fast, like a black lightning bolt shuttling through the wilderness. However, even with his speed, it was not until dusk two days later that he finally saw groups of Black Demons wandering in the distance.

As he went deeper, he saw more and more black demons. According to intelligence, this place was nearly 300 miles away from the black demon's lair. Liu Jun could imagine how dense the black demons would be near the lair.

In order to blend in, Liu Jun had changed his appearance. He was surrounded by black energy and looked no different from the black demons. Moreover, the black energy on him was much thicker than that of ordinary black demons, which made him even harder to detect.

Liu Jun was a little confused, why the demon's aura was blue, but the power he gained turned into black aura. However, these doubts did not affect his actions. He only had one thought now, that it was not in vain, this black aura was so useful.

When he passed by a group of black demons, they immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling all over. They seemed to sense the powerful demonic energy on Liu Jun and did not dare to resist at all. Liu Jun glanced at the black demons coldly, and then continued to move towards the direction of the nest.

As he went deeper, the number of black demons he encountered became more and more dense, and the air was filled with an indescribable sense of oppression. The levels of these black demons also changed significantly and subtly. Although he knew nothing about the class division of the monster world, he could vaguely sense the increasingly strong threat from their behavior.

At first, the black demons wandering around the periphery were like tiny creatures gripped by fear, crawling on the ground, their bodies trembling with fear, as if even their breathing was accompanied by trembling. Their eyes were full of despair and obedience, as if they were facing an irresistible power.

However, as he moved closer to the core of darkness, the situation changed. The dark demons he encountered now, although still expressing respect, were no longer humble and fearful. They saluted in a peculiar way, beating their chests with one hand, with an inexplicable solemnity and power in their movements, as if they were paying tribute to some ancient tradition.

Faced with this sudden change in etiquette, Liu Jun seemed a little overwhelmed. He had never received such courtesy before, and didn't know how to respond. He could only bite the bullet and barely squeeze out a nod to try to fool around.

Fortunately, these seemingly ferocious middle-level ancient demons did not notice his abnormality. They seemed to only focus on their own rituals and order, and did not pay too much attention to the minor mistakes of this superior. This made Liu Jun slightly relieved, but at the same time he became more vigilant.

He is now in a typical situation of going deep into the tiger's den. If he is not careful, nothing will be left.

Finally, when Liu Jun was less than ten miles away from the legendary black demon's lair, his way was completely blocked. The density of the black demons here was far beyond his imagination.

In this sea of ​​black demons, there was only a narrow path winding forward. Sticky black mist was surging on both sides of the road, and hideous faces appeared and disappeared from time to time. This was the only passage to the black demon's lair, and it was also the only way for Liu Jun.

"Who are you?" A high-level black demon wearing dark purple armor suddenly appeared from the fog, and his scarlet eyes looked at Liu Jun vigilantly.

The high-level black devil raised his scaly palm and gently patted his chest, making a metallic sound as a salute. Liu Jun stopped, and his black cloak swayed slightly in the invisible wind.

"Come to see the queen." Liu Jun said in a low and powerful voice.

He used the purest ancient demon language, and each syllable carried an ancient and mysterious rhythm, just like the difference between London accent and ordinary English.

He did not learn this ancient demon language on his own initiative, but it was a language ability he acquired after absorbing the power of the female demon.

The high-ranking black devil was visibly startled, and the muscles on his face covered with scales twitched slightly. He saluted again, this time with a more solemn gesture, with his right hand touching his chest while one knee was slightly bent - this was the highest etiquette for an ancient devil to treat a superior.

"Your ancient demon language is so pure." The black demon's voice was filled with surprise that could not be concealed. "Please forgive my offense just now. May I know your name?"

Liu Jun raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Shh, don't ask too much, knowing too much is not good for you."

The black fog at the end of the road suddenly surged up, as if responding to this conversation. A low cry came from the distance, which was the signal for the Nest Guard to assemble. Obviously, Liu Jun's arrival has attracted the attention of the entire Black Demon Clan.

The high-level black mage stood up and made a "please" gesture: "Please follow me, sir."

Liu Jun nodded and stepped forward. As he moved forward, the black fog on both sides of the road automatically parted, as if making way for the mysterious visitor who mastered the pure ancient demon language. And in the darkness farther away, countless pairs of eyes were silently watching all this.
Soon, the high-level black magic took Liu Jun through a black forest filled with sulfur and came to the outside of their nest. There was a sweet and rotten smell in the air, which was nauseating.

Liu Jun endured the discomfort and looked at this strange nest, secretly surprised. Different from the magnificent palace-like nest of the Green Devil, the nest of the Black Devil looked more like a huge beehive from the outside, with dense hexagonal holes all over the surface. The whole nest was a sickly dark red, covered with sticky secretions, and glowed with a strange luster in the dim light.

Newly born black devil larvae were constantly being transported out of those holes by low-level black devils like worker ants. Those larvae were covered in mucus and made sharp hissing sounds. Even more horrifying was that Liu Jun saw some human beings tied up and being carried into the depths of the nest by the black devils like cargo. Those people had dull eyes and strange smiles on their faces, as if their minds were controlled by some kind of power.

"Where is the queen?" Liu Jun suppressed his uneasiness and asked in a deep voice.

The high-level black devil bowed his head respectfully and said, "Your Majesty is in the core of the lair, which is the gestation room. Your Majesty's personal guards will come to pick you up in a moment."

The waiting time was extremely long. Liu Jun noticed that the holes on the surface of the nest occasionally flashed strange red light, as if the entire nest was alive. His back was soaked with cold sweat, but he remained calm on the surface.

Finally, a black demon wearing matte black armor slowly walked out of the largest hole. Its armor was covered with fine lines, like some kind of ancient runes. This guard was two heads taller than the average black demon, and walked with a strange elegance. It came in front of Liu Jun and looked him up and down with its pupil-less pure black eyes, sweeping over every inch of Liu Jun's skin as if it had substance.

Just when Liu Jun was about to lose his patience, the Dark Magic Guard slowly spoke, his voice like countless tiny bugs crawling under his shell: "The Queen senses a familiar aura on you."

After saying that, the Dark Magic Guard paused, and the claws of his six fingers opened and closed unconsciously, "Where are you from?"

Liu Jun's heart trembled, and he glanced at the dark demons around him who were eyeing him covetously, knowing that the next answer would determine his life or death.

"I came from the Green Demon Clan to discuss something with the Queen." Liu Jun said after a few seconds of silence.

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding black demons instantly became agitated. Those figures that were originally dormant in the shadows appeared one after another, and their scarlet eyes flickered in the darkness, like countless bloodthirsty fireflies. The sharp friction sounds of claws and teeth came one after another, and the air was filled with a strong murderous intent.

Even the high-level black demon who led Liu Jun had a suddenly distorted calm face, with blood vessels bulging under his blue-gray skin, and he became full of murderous intent.

After all, the Green Demons and the Black Demons were two absolutely hostile tribes. For thousands of years, the hatred between the two tribes had already penetrated deep into their bones. Moreover, after coming to the God Realm, the Green Demons had been hunted down and besieged by the Black Demons, and countless Green Demons had died tragically under the claws of the Black Demons.

The enemy suddenly came to their door, or came directly to the depths of their lair. The first thought of the black magicians was that the enemy's purpose was not pure. Several young high-level black magic warriors could no longer hold back, and the sharp bone spurs popped out of their arms, making a "crackling" sound.
