After returning to the small town, Shen Luo and his companion, under the leadership of the ghost general Zhao Feiji, successfully reunited with Rumeng Feihong.
The group found an inn in the small town, rented two guest rooms, and rested for two days before leaving.
Wu Man'er took the three spirits and set off back to Shenmu Forest, while Shen Luo continued his original journey alone, rushing to Tianji City to find a way to repair the jade pillow.
…
Lion Camel City.
Dark clouds rolled over the city, and the sky was pitch black.
In a majestic city, the evil spirit was overwhelming and all the monsters in the city were extremely angry.
In a grand hall in the City Lord's Mansion, a middle-aged man in a black feather cloak sat on a carved golden chair in the hall. He had a worried look on his face, leaning on the armrest, rubbing his eyebrows gently with one hand.
Although the man had a middle-aged face, his facial features were quite handsome, except for his hooked nose, which seemed a little too prominent.
It was none other than the Golden-Winged Roc, the lord of the Lion City.
There were several figures standing in the hall, all of them were burly and had ferocious faces. They looked at the figure sitting in the hall with nervous expressions.
One of them had a leopard head and a human body, and was a tall man wearing scale armor. He said tentatively, "My king, the second king has sent someone to urge us to hand over Fu Donglai as soon as possible. Let's..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw the hook-nosed man slowly open his eyes and immediately shut up.
"My second brother asked me to hand over someone. What did my eldest brother say?" asked the Golden-Winged Dapeng.
“Great King… Great King said that the task of cleaning up the house shouldn’t be done by them, right?” A one-eyed green wolf monster stepped forward and spoke.
"Hmph, they all seem to have determined, one by one, that Fu Donglai is the thief who stole the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle? Where is the evidence?" The Golden-Winged Peng snorted coldly, seeming a little angry.
"My king, we don't believe that it was Fu Donglai who did it. It's just that the timing is too coincidental. He had just been expelled from the Lion City by you, and the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle was stolen again. It is inevitable that the Second King and others will be suspicious..." said the One-Eyed Green Wolf.
“Bullshit, you have worked with Fu Donglai for many years, don’t you know what kind of person he is? We had no choice but to expel him this time, and it just happened to be such a critical juncture, and he... Alas..." At the end, the Golden-Winged Dapeng could only sigh.
"Then, my king, how should we explain to the other two kings?" the leopard monster asked tentatively.
"Explain... Explain what the hell."
The Golden Winged Dapeng cursed angrily at first, then sighed and said, "Send two teams out to look for him. Remember... no matter if he has touched the Yin Yang Qi Bottle or not, bring him back alive."
"Yes." The demons in the hall clasped their fists and responded.
They all lowered their heads, but there was a hint of jealousy in their eyes.
They never understood what was so special about the tiger-headed monster who yearned for human civilization that made the king so partial to him.
If they were trapped in their current situation, the king would not have much trouble and would order them to be captured or killed to give an explanation to the two kings of Lion Camel Ridge.
The monsters slowly retreated, leaving only the Golden-winged Roc in the hall.
