It doesn't matter what the lord is.

"Dad, when will the elf be sent here? I have been training hard recently, and I have no place to vent my anger. What if it affects my realm growth... I heard that pure-blooded elves are not only beautiful, but also have healing powers. It's just right for me..."

Snake pupil snorted. It knew what its son was thinking. The growth of the Snake Realm was very stable. It was just looking for an excuse. But it did not say it out loud. It only replied:

"Don't worry, it will be soon."

During the whole process, Fileta didn't say a word. She just stood there blankly. She didn't move without Shetong's command.

At this moment, a demon with a scorpion tail suddenly stepped forward, half-knelt beside Snake Eye, and said:

"Lord King of the East, when you were away some time ago, something happened around the palace. Langji, one of the newcomers of the East District Demon Clan, was assassinated. He was at the realm of the eighth level of perfection, and even killed several ninth level demons across the realm. He has great potential to become a backbone force in the future. The most important thing is that he is the direct descendant of the werewolf. The werewolf tribe is now in great trouble, and I demand that you give an explanation."

Snake pupil sneered and said:

"Their children are not good at learning, can you blame me?"

The demon kneeling on the ground replied tremblingly:

"That's not the case... The main thing is that someone wrote a few words with blood on the scene. The murderer didn't leave his name, just said that he killed Langji. He originally planned to beat Langji up and ask Langji to help pass on a message, but Langji not only refused, but also had his mind full of thoughts about how to kill him back, so he got rid of him. But the message still had to be passed, so he wrote it down with Langji's blood."

The Scorpion Tail Demon paused, not daring to look at Snake Eye's expression, and said carefully:

"He said that he wanted to make a deal with you, Lord King of the East. If you release Miss Fileta, he has other ways to help you achieve your original goal. If you don't agree, he will kill them one by one. He said that he would kill every demon with potential like Langji in the entire East District, and said..."

Snake pupil asked in a cold voice:

"say what?"

The Scorpion-Tailed Demon took a few deep breaths and said quickly:

"He said that once all the demon rookies in the East District that you like are dead, he doesn't know what you will use to compete with the other three kings for that position!"

After finishing speaking, the Scorpion-Tailed Demon suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked down in disbelief, and found a bowl-sized pit in his chest, and his vitality was rapidly draining away. He raised his head, stared at the snake pupil with hatred, opened and closed his mouth, wanted to say something, but fell to the ground powerlessly.

She Tong didn't even look at it, and said to She Mi calmly:

"have eaten."

She Mi was immediately delighted, holding the food as if it were a treasure, and ran to the back of the throne, where he feasted on the meal where no one was.

Snake Eye looked around at the high-level demons in the hall, and no demon dared to look at it. Seeing this, Snake Eye sneered:

"Please remember this for me. If you are afraid before the battle, this is the outcome."

After a pause, he said again:

"Ying Baiqing, lead the team to capture this man and send him to the werewolf tribe. If I have to worry about such a trivial matter, you might as well die. No matter who he is, what kind of trouble can he cause in the heart of our East District? Most likely he was lucky enough to assassinate Langji when he was relaxed, and he dared to make such a crazy statement, and even said that he would kill all the new demons in my territory... What an ignorant fool."

54. One cut kill

Jiu Luo was originally one of the newcomers of the demon clan in the East District, and was also regarded as the hope for the revival of the Night Dove family. It is only forty years old this year, but looks younger, probably only in its early twenties. Except for a pair of colorful wings and golden bird claws on its legs, it does not look particularly different from a human.

Jiu Luo became famous at a young age. When he was fifteen, his family was invaded by the Eagle Falcon Tribe, and more than half of the Night Doves were torn to pieces. Jiu Luo hid in the ruins for three days and three nights, and finally took advantage of the chaos to poison and kill the Eagle Falcon general who led the invasion at that time, and then came forward to integrate the remaining Night Doves, and finally pulled the broken tribe back from the brink of death.

Afterwards, Jiu Luo also united many demon tribes and launched a fierce attack on the Eagle Falcon Tribe, which directly caused the Eagle Falcon Tribe, which was originally firmly rooted in the Eastern District of the Demon Clan, to drop a level in strength and fall out of the super first-line echelon. In terms of battle record alone, Jiu Luo can be called brilliant; in terms of potential and strength, it also beats most of the demons in the Eastern District of the Demon Clan. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be able to break through the tenth level and go further in a few years, leading the Night Dove Clan to an unprecedented height. In fact, the current King of the East, Snake Eyes, also occasionally pays attention to it, implicitly expecting it, and sent people to promise that when Jiu Luo advances to the tenth level, he will allocate a large amount of resources to the Night Dove Clan, and Jiu Luo himself can also become Snake Eyes's direct subordinate and enjoy supreme glory.

Under such circumstances, Jiu Luo did not slack off at all. After his realm was raised to the middle of the ninth level, he stopped practicing blindly and began to suppress his realm at this level intentionally or unintentionally. The strongest thing about the Night Dove lineage is its poisonous feathers. Jiu Luo was able to poison General Falcon with this poisonous feather that was hard to defend against. But Jiu Luo knew very well that if he relied on poison skills to reach the tenth level or above, his dependence on poison would become higher and higher, and his means of attack would become more and more single. Once the opponent is on guard against his poison, it will become very difficult for him to succeed.

So over the years, it has been insisting on folding its wings every day and practicing fighting skills in the forest to strengthen its physique while eliminating excessive toxins. When its physical strength is not inferior to other demons, it will consider advancing. This is the safest way. Over the years, Jiuluo's realm has become more and more stable, its power has become more and more pure, its physical body is strong, and its venom is rarely matched. No one knows how strong it is now. It is only known that almost no one dares to provoke the Night Dove Tribe, and several small and medium-sized tribes only follow its lead.

This morning, Jiu Luo felt that the power in his body was a little hot and unbearable, so he went shirtless and found a forest to continue boxing. Before leaving, he received a message from an elder in his tribe, saying that the demon rookie named Langji from the werewolf tribe had died and was assassinated. The other party also spread the word that he would kill all the demon rookies. The elder advised Jiu Luo to be more careful.

Jiuluo smiled and said that he knew. But after a moment, only the first half of the news remained in his mind. Langji's death meant that the werewolf tribe lost another man, and its strength would decline. Many tribes that had originally formed an alliance with the werewolves would also begin to reconsider. Jiuluo was thinking quickly about how to get the most benefit from this matter. Which tribes could be won over and which tribes needed to be suppressed secretly, these things gradually became clear in Jiuluo's mind.

Those demons above the tenth level are indeed the towering trees that support a tribe, but trees will eventually wither and die. The future of a tribe still has to look to the younger generation. As the de facto ruler of the Night Dove Tribe, Night Dove must always consider the interests of the entire tribe. As for the second half of the elder's words, it has been silently ignored.

Jiu Luo didn't think that anyone could threaten him from the bottom of his heart.

A punch smashed a towering tree into pieces, and its hot blood finally cooled down a lot. Excessive venom dripped from the ends of its feathers onto the ground, corroding the hard soil into black mud. All the surrounding trees died, and the poisonous gas was thick. The demons who escaped quickly still had a chance of survival, but those who escaped slowly would be completely destroyed. Even for the demons who escaped quickly, as long as they were exposed to a little bit of poisonous gas, their skin would gradually fester, and they would die completely within a month.

The power was released wildly, and the feeling of controlling everything emerged in its mind.

A bright future unfolds before it, and the broad road stretches to infinity.

It can be said that there is nothing that can stop it from rising to prominence.

This feeling of elation made it squint its eyes slightly, but at the edge of its vision, the flat yellow soil on the ground trembled slightly, and then began to swell. Jiuluo felt almost nothing, and just glanced over there casually, but the time of this glance seemed to be infinitely slowed down.

It saw something shaking off the dust, and saw a figure appear and disappear, then reappear in front of it.

It also saw the dagger slashing across, with a flash of silver light.

Finally, it saw the world spinning, and saw a headless corpse standing strangely in its original position. It felt that the corpse was very similar to itself: it also had a pair of wings dripping with venom, muscles flowing with sweat, and claws firmly grasping the soil. This moment seemed to last for a long time from the beginning of the universe to the fall of all things in the world, and then at a certain moment, Jiuluo suddenly realized that it was his own corpse, a headless corpse.

After reacting, the head that was still conscious rolled to the ground, eyes wide open, looking at the human boy who had almost no murderous aura from his body.

It simply couldn't understand why this person had not been corroded into mud by the poisonous fog when he was so close to it. It didn't know why he was in front of it in just a moment, and it didn't know why its head was chopped off.

Even, Jiu Luo didn't know why he came to kill him, and whether he was colluding with some other tribe. He just suddenly remembered the reminder of his elder, and felt very cold for a moment, and then his consciousness gradually blurred.

It was a pity that when it heard the news of Langji's assassination, it focused all its attention on dividing the spoils, but did not raise any vigilance at all. As a result, after planning so much, it was just a bubble that burst at the slightest touch.

With Jiu Luo's death, the Yejiu tribe was leaderless, and the small and medium-sized tribes that depended on it would surely scatter like birds and beasts. The original order was gone, and the situation here would only develop in a more chaotic direction.

What Jiu Luo may not know is that for that human, this is just the beginning.

He wiped the dagger clean on Jura's trouser leg, turned around and slowly walked away. Soon his figure disappeared into the shadows of the woods, leaving no trace.

During the whole process, Lid didn't even know Jura's name.

I'm here, I killed him in one second, what's there to say.

55. Unsolvable Strategy

In just over ten days, the atmosphere in the entire Demonic East District gradually became weird.

The second young lady of the One-Eyed Tribe was sent to suppress a rebellion in a small tribe. After she killed more than 300 demons alone, she was assassinated.

The One-Eyed Tribe is a tribe in the East District that is not well-known but is definitely not to be underestimated. The second young lady is named Zhisheng. There is a huge eye in the center of her face, big and pointed ears, but a small nose and mouth. Her face shape is beautiful. If she were in a technologically advanced world, she could be a female internet celebrity who only shows half of her face. She is small and thin, but can wield a mace that is much larger than herself. So far, countless demons have been smashed into meat patties by it.

Usually, almost no demons dared to provoke such a monster. When they saw it, they basically avoided it, fearing that this lady would be in a bad mood one day and would smash them like walnuts and eat them. Zhisheng's realm had just passed the ninth level, but the souls who died under her club could probably circle the demons twice. She had an almost invincible intuition about fighting. Six years ago, she was attacked by an elder of a hostile tribe. At that time, the elder walked towards Zhisheng under the pretext of toasting, and suddenly attacked from a distance of only seven or eight meters. There was no sign, and even the big figures of the one-eyed tribe did not react. Zhisheng seemed to have noticed it first, and suddenly squatted down and rolled on the ground, pulling out the mace to protect his vitals. Although he was affected by the aftermath of the attack and vomited several mouthfuls of blood, he saved his life. The more than 20 family elites around her who were at a similar level or even higher than her level were not alert at all and died cleanly.

After killing her opponent, Zhisheng once said that she was born to fight for her life. On the line between life and death, she always had intuition that she could not imagine. It also proved this point. Over the years, Zhisheng's intuition has never failed. Every time she sensed the danger in advance, combined with her extremely high dynamic vision and terrifying hearing, she can dodge almost any attack.

A guy like this was suddenly assassinated. Many demons felt confused and couldn't react to what happened.

The worst thing is that the scene was destroyed. All we can see is that Zhisheng was stabbed in the eye and his head was pierced. We can't tell what kind of struggle he made before his death, or whether he left any fatal injuries on the other party. The whereabouts of the assassin have also disappeared, and no one knows where he is, but everyone can feel the invisible pressure in the darkness.

On the same day, Xiong Cheng, the most famous warrior of the Grizzly Tribe, was also assassinated. Xiong Cheng's experience was not as exciting as his life. He had almost no record of fighting with people of higher realms than himself. He had always been quite low-key, but no demon dared to forget his myth of being undefeated in battles with people of the same realm.

Xiong Cheng is in the middle of the ninth level, and is also extremely difficult to assassinate. His power is extremely pure and strong, and he is not inferior to any demon of the same level in a head-on confrontation. His innate strong fur and thick fat make it almost impossible for swords, guns, and blunt instruments to exert any effect. In simple terms, it is difficult for others to penetrate his natural armor. This is called the power of a bear.

Xiong Cheng died of poisoning.

The unique poison of the Night Dove Tribe was found in its corpse, causing half of the Grizzly Tribe to go out and surround the Night Dove gang. The demons from the Grizzly Tribe are basically stubborn. They are eager for revenge and don’t care about reason. After the Night Dove Tribe was basically crippled, they found that they were holding a funeral. After asking, they learned that the most powerful leader of the Night Dove Tribe and the only one who was capable of poisoning Xiong Cheng, Jiu Luo, had been confirmed dead yesterday. His head was chopped off and his body was separated. He also died in an unclear way. Because Jiu Luo would release poisonous fog when practicing, no one dared to disturb him before the poisonous fog dissipated. When he was found, no one knew how long he had been dead. Only the most toxic feathers on his body were plucked out. Xiong Cheng should have been killed by the assassin who killed Jiu Luo.

The Grizzlies didn't bother to apologize to the Night Dove Tribe. Seeing that they were leaderless, they killed them and brought back a lot of poison feathers, which made up for the loss caused by Xiong Cheng's death. Although the demons qualified to form a tribe will not live in a barbaric and disorderly killing from birth like the lower demons, they will not talk about any morality. It is normal for them to kill you while you are sick.

The Grizzly Bear Tribe calmed down its anger, but the dark clouds lingering over the Eastern District of the Demon Tribe had not yet dissipated, and the gloomy atmosphere became even more intense.

The recently famous centipede of the Black Centipede Tribe had its body, which was tens of meters long, chopped into eight sections and hung on eight trees. The densely packed and creepy legs were chopped off and piled up in a pile, with a fire lit around them. Many of the legs were roasted and eaten directly, and the whole forest was filled with an enticing aroma.

When the centipede was discovered, the assassin had left for a long time. There were countless low-level demons surrounding it to eat its corpse. The corpse of such a powerful demon was very attractive to the low-level demons. Although they knew it might be dangerous to surround it, the small demons still couldn't help but want to have a share.

This scene made the entire Black Centipede Tribe extremely furious. They slaughtered countless small tribes nearby and killed too many low-level demons that did not belong to any tribe. The super-large centipede demons rampaged across the land of the Eastern District of the Demon Tribe, and the low-level demons tried to avoid them as much as possible. Other demon tribes rose up in resistance, which directly evolved into a local civil unrest in the eastern region.

But the assassin was still not caught.

The carpet search is still going on, but many new demons dare not leave the tribal territory. Every time they move, they have to be accompanied by the elders of the tribe for protection. But this kind of cowardly behavior has a great impact on the state of mind. The most important thing about demons is their fierceness. The famous new demons all crawled out of the blood river and the sea of ​​corpses. They have eaten countless of their own kind to get to this point. The fierce killing feeling is their magic weapon that makes them invincible. Now they are so cautious even when they go out. What is the difference between them and turtles? Doing this can keep them alive, but it also makes it difficult for them to make breakthroughs and become elites from newcomers.

Each tribe was telling their outstanding young demons to be extremely careful. Every demon rookie was also very alert and on guard when they were acting alone.

But it still didn't work.

Like a shadow, he follows you everywhere. You never know where he is, but he is in the dark, staring at you, waiting for the moment you reveal a flaw.

This is an almost unsolvable strategy.

56. Only by studying can one achieve success

Alaya, Xiluo and Delis carefully moved eastward. Halfway through, they met many demons who had withdrawn from the front line. From their conversation, they learned that the demons had decided to withdraw and Yuxi City was relatively safe.

The three people intended to continue according to the original plan, but because the number of demons was large and Alayya's realm was not high enough, their whereabouts were exposed and they were chased by the demons all the way.

There are only two kinds of people in this world who are not easily detected. One is an absolutely strong person, like the Demon King of the Demon Tribe. As long as he doesn't want others to notice him, others can't sense him at all. The other is an absolute loser like Delis, who doesn't have any realm cultivation at all and doesn't have to worry about the breath leaking out.

Alayya happened to be one of those who were not strong enough. Although the sixth level of perfection was enough, many generals of the demon army could also reach this level. In addition, the sword energy on Alayya was extremely special, which could easily attract the siege of the demons. The three of them became more and more tired as they walked. They were still several days away from Yuxi City, and it was already difficult to move forward.

Shiloh held a straw in her mouth, chewing silently, looking for a hint of sweetness in the sourness. In the past few days, she has killed seven or eight demon army generals, the highest one is in the middle of the eighth level. But whether it is Alaya or Shiloh, they don't have the powerful AOE ability of Fileta. It's easy to kill a few demon generals, but it's difficult to deal with the endless demon army. She can only hide and hide, choose places with fewer demons to temporarily settle down, and go east whenever she can.

That morning, Alaya used a sword to fork a few fish of strange shapes from the river, cooked them, and shared them with Shiloh and Delis. Shiloh said nothing, but Delis complained about her cooking skills. When she ate the food grilled by Lid before, Delis felt that such vulgar food was totally incompatible with her status, but to be honest, it was still delicious. Now when she eats the fish grilled by Alaya, she always feels that it tastes like chewing wax. Delis took two bites randomly, ate the meaty and boneless parts of the fish back and tail, and threw the fish aside, never touching it again. Shiloh finished eating slowly, stuck the skewer into the ground, said "I'll go take a look around", stood up and walked towards the woods, suddenly frowned, shook his sleeves, and a cold dagger was already in his palm.

A silver-haired man in white clothes stood leaning against a tree, looking at Shiloh with a smile on his face.

He carried a huge staff on his back. When he saw Xi Luo, he clapped his hands and said:

"Don't be so vigilant..."

Before he could finish his words, Shiloh's dagger had already stabbed into his head.

The sharp tip was only a few centimeters away from his eyes, and suddenly hit the silver magic circle that appeared out of thin air. In an instant, fire splashed everywhere, and the tip of the dagger sank into the magic circle for about two millimeters, but could no longer penetrate a little bit.

Shiloh let go of the dagger and quickly retreated, at the same time pulling out another dagger from the outside of his thigh and looking at him warily.

Alayya also drew out her two swords and prepared to attack.

The man in white smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"I've already told you not to be so vigilant... Never mind, I know it's hard for you to believe me. Let me introduce myself. My name is Merlin, a not-so-famous magician. You should be from Yuxi City? Oh, yes, you must be Alayya, the young sword genius who inherited half of Qingyun's inheritance."

Alayya did not relax at all and asked coldly:

"you know me?"

Merlin flicked his finger, and the dagger stuck in the magic circle flew back and landed at Shiloh's feet. Merlin replied:

"I don't know him. But I recognize the sword energy on you, and I also know the person who taught you this sword art. After Qingyun died, I sent one of my illusions to the capital to find out about Qingyun's death and what the king did back then. I wanted to kill the king to avenge Qingyun, but I didn't expect that the Jinyiwei commander was quite capable. Although my illusion broke into the palace, it failed in the end. It's estimated that the commander will reach the tenth level in no time. It seems that the king is not destined to die, and I don't plan to bother him anymore."

He said this as if it were something very ordinary, then looked at Delis who was hiding behind Alayya and said:

"I have no ill intentions. I just promised to send you back to Yuxi City safely, so even though I know my strength is limited, I still want to take the trouble to try. But now it seems that the situation is more complicated than I thought... Alaiya, you should recognize this."

Merlin raised his hand, and a silver butterfly flapped its wings and flew over, landing on his fingertips, then flapped its wings again and flew up, landing on Alaya's shoulder. Seeing this butterfly, Alaya's eyes suddenly became less vigilant. The silver butterfly was left behind after Qingyun and the princess left, and it had the consciousness of both of them. Since the silver butterfly recognized Merlin, it meant that he was indeed Qingyun's friend when he was alive.

This is the most powerful proof from Qingyun himself.

"I understand."

Alayya put away her sword and exchanged opinions with Shiloh. Then the two of them told Merlin what happened in the demon tribe. Merlin frowned as he listened, and finally sighed and said:

"It was my mistake... I thought you wouldn't have anything to do with the King of the East, Snake Eye, but I didn't expect to be involved in such a plan. If your city lord had come back with you, I could still escort you away. Anyway, Delis is on your side, and even Snake Eye can't do anything to you. Unfortunately, he insisted on going to find Snake Eye, and there was nothing I could do."

Alaiya clenched her fists silently.

Merlin glanced at Alayya and said with a smile:

"But don't worry too much. Your city lord is obviously not a fool. Since he is willing to go, it means there is hope. I can't help much over there, so I will do him a small favor and send you back to Yuxi City safely."

After saying that, Merlin took out his staff from behind and tapped it on the ground.

This time, no magic circle appeared, but fog suddenly rose around them. Merlin's figure became hazy in the fog, and his presence instantly decreased to an unimaginable level. If Alaiya and Shiloh hadn't known that he was there and didn't move, they would not have been able to detect his presence even though they were almost face to face.

The fog spread, covering Alayya and the others.

As they walked towards Yuxi City, no demons bothered them along the way.

Even when they passed by the seventh or eighth level demon generals, they would not even look at them. The four people seemed to have completely evaporated from the face of the earth. The mist separated the inside and outside into two completely different worlds. The space in the mist was self-contained, and the flow of breath was normal, but it would not leak out of the mist.

When they were almost at Yuxi City, Alayya couldn't help but ask Merlin alone:

"What is your relationship with Master Qingyun?"

Merlin smiled and answered casually:

"We've fought once, so we can be considered friends. Among the top three swordsmen in the human race, he was the only one who broke my illusion head-on. Of the other two, one was helpless, and the other used violence to solve the problem. Neither of them is my type... Actually, I also like swords, but practicing swords is too hard. Learning magic is much easier. I read books at home, and before I knew it, I reached the tenth level."

57. No kidding

In the palace of the King of the East, Snake Eyes sat on the throne. With his eyes closed and his hands flat on the armrests on both sides of the throne, there was no emotion on his face, but the black mist in the palace undoubtedly showed that he was in a very bad mood. Even Snake Eyes' son, She Mi, was now huddled in a corner of the palace and shivering. The high-level demons in the entire palace knelt on the ground in fear.

Only Snake Eye's daughter, Fileta, still stood silently behind it, as if nothing had happened.
