Jackie Chan Adventures: I, the Holy Lord's Brother!

Chapter 27 My Lord, Don't Abandon Qing Mei

Shentian sat on the dragon throne, supporting his chin with one hand and holding a piece of information compiled by Huo Wen in the other hand, which briefly recorded some things.

After reading it, Shen Tian said, "Huo Wen, are you saying that you have already discovered the existence of these people?"

"Yes, but these people usually hide very deeply, leaving no trace of their actions. Their communication with each other is done through ordinary humans without integrity."

"Although we knew that such a force existed, we only truly determined their exact location last night."

"Originally, we were planning to submit this information to you today, but you happened to be traveling to the Shadow Kingdom, so we were delayed."

"I never thought these lowly ants would take advantage of your absence to cause unrest. We were unable to protect you, and I beg your punishment!"

After Huo Wen finished explaining, the four of them knelt down again.

Shen Tian waved his hand, signaling the four to stand up, and said, "We'll discuss the punishment later. Kuang Ming, first lead a thousand Death Guards and kill the Righteous Mage who's still causing chaos outside!"

"My subordinate understands!"

The tall Kuang Ming stood up and said.

He was originally responsible for the security of the kingdom. Now that the righteous wizards had stormed into the palace, his dereliction of duty was undoubtedly the greatest among the four.

So after Shentian finished speaking, Kuang Ming immediately walked out angrily. Soon, screams of humans were heard outside.

Shen Tian then said, "Shan Yuan, didn't I order you to go find a hidden place? You're here now, but do you know where it is?"

Shan Yuan knelt on one knee and said, "Yes, my lord. I have discovered an excellent place in Asia according to your wishes."

"According to my investigation, it is an ancient primeval forest. There is no trace of human or demonic life there, and even very few animals."

"The most important point is that I suspect there is a very high possibility that this is a magic-forbidden stone forest!"

"Are you talking about the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest?" Shentian's tone changed slightly. "Have you carefully investigated the underground soil there?"

"My Lord, I haven't been able to investigate yet, as I'm not very skilled in analytical magic. However, in order to quickly determine the exact situation there, I brought back some soil."

Shan Yuan said as he took out a small jar of soil. The soil was dark brown in color, different from the common soil.

When Shentian turned his eyes to the soil, he keenly felt the difference of this jar of soil.

Because when his evil spirit covered the soil, some substance in the soil actually tried to suppress his evil spirit.

This state,
It fits the characteristics of the Forbidden Magic Stone perfectly.

The magic-forbidden stone, as the name suggests, is a special stone that can imprison and suppress the demonic energy.

The anti-magic spell that Shentian used on Ji Ling before was actually developed by a demon through research on the anti-magic stone.

If the place that Shan Yuan mentioned really contains a large number of forbidden magic stones, then it would be perfect for him to sleep there.

However, just in case, Shentian still said to Qingmei, "Qingmei, please analyze the soil in the jar to see if it is the Forbidden Magic Stone."

"Yeah!" Qing Mei nodded, and raised his palm in the air, releasing his own demonic energy, covering the soil in the jar.

After a moment, Qing Mei retracted his demonic energy and said, "My Lord, the soil that Shan Yuan brought back does contain a large amount of Forbidden Demon Stone fragments."

"Good, very good!" Shen Tian said happily, "Shan Yuan, you did a great job on this matter. Just tell me what reward you want!"

Shan Yuan bowed and said, "Being able to share the Lord's worries is my only hope. As a minister, I should not ask for anything else."

"But today, I saw a righteous mage who was able to bypass the Death Guard and appear directly in the main hall, threatening the master's safety. This is unacceptable to me!" "So, I hope that the master can grant me a magic that can enhance the demon's aptitude, so that I can train the Death Guard and the Death Guard to become even more powerful."

"If something like today happens again, the family members will be able to protect the master on my behalf."

"Well, magic that enhances aptitude?" Shentian thought for a while and raised his hand. A shadow soldier holding a book of black magic appeared beside Shentian.

I turned to one of the pages based on my memory.

Shentian moved his fingers slightly, and the words on the pages immediately seemed to come to life, turning into swimming fish that fell off the pages and gathered into a ball of energy.

The ball of light flew towards Shan Yuan, and Shen Tian said, "This is a magic trick that can improve the demon's aptitude to a certain extent. Take it!"

"Thank you for the reward, my lord!" Shan Yuan said respectfully.

And the matter should have ended here.

Qing Mei suddenly stepped forward and asked, "My Lord, could you please tell me what you are trying to do by searching for the Forbidden Magic Stone Forest?"

Shentian frowned, not understanding why Qingmei asked this, and then said casually: "It is useful for me to find the Forbidden Magic Stone Forest, you don't need it..."

However, before Shen Tian could finish, Qing Mei stepped forward and pressed him, "Master, please answer Qing Mei's questions directly and don't give her any perfunctory answers!"

"Qing Mei, what are you doing? How can we, the ministers, guess what the lord is thinking?" Huo Wen said dissatisfiedly. The position where Qing Mei was standing now was no longer where a minister should stand.

Qing Mei turned a deaf ear and walked forward stubbornly.

But when she spoke again, her voice trembled slightly: "So, my Lord, what you said to Qing Mei last time was true. Are you really planning to seal yourself?"

"what?"

"Seal yourself?" Huo Wen looked shocked.

Shan Yuan grabbed Qing Mei's shoulders and asked, "Qing Mei, what do you mean by this?"

Qing Mei said nothing, but just looked over pleadingly.

In those beautiful eyes, there was a sadness that ordinary people could not understand, as if saying those words had exhausted all her strength.

Seeing this, Shentian knew he couldn't hide it any longer and sighed deeply, "Yes, you are right, I am planning to seal myself."

"What?" Shan Yuan was stunned and released the hand that was holding Qing Mei. He said in disbelief, "Master, what are you talking about?"

Huo Wen's body trembled, and he almost couldn't stand and said, "Master, have we done something wrong, so you are abandoning us?"

Seal yourself,

How strange these four words are.

They couldn't figure out why a monarch-level demon would abandon a good kingdom and choose to seal himself away.

The only explanation is that Shentian was tired of the existence of the kingdom, so he abandoned the kingdom and them.

Because not all demons like to rule over humans, some demons also pursue [freedom].

After hearing the answer, Qing Mei hurriedly covered her chest, feeling as if there was suddenly a large empty space in her heart, and even breathing caused her heartache.

But even so, Qing Mei still pleaded in a very low voice: "Master, please don't abandon Qing Mei, okay?"
