Upon hearing this, Wutan's pupils contracted. He could claim to be the emperor, and had the two Tiannu brothers serving him respectfully. It didn't take much to guess that the eight-headed fire dragon must be the Demon Emperor Shuntian.
Temporarily suppressing the doubts in his heart, Wutan took a deep breath, and then strode in.
Looking up at the Demon Emperor Shuntian, Wu Tian was not afraid at all, and said calmly, "I wonder why the Demon Emperor called me here?"
Seeing this, the eyes of the two heads in the middle of the Shuntian Demon Emperor flashed with admiration, and he said with a slight smile: "It's nothing particularly important, I just want to see your true face."
"Are you sure you are not kidding me?"
Wu Tian raised his eyebrows, his displeasure was clearly visible. Would the ruler of the Dragon God Mountain Range call him here just because he wanted to see what he looked like? He would never believe this lame excuse.
Demon Emperor Shuntian said, "Wutian, you think too much. Not everyone would plot against you. I just want to see what's so special about the person my child has been praising so much."
"Your child?" Wu Tian was puzzled. The Demon Emperor Shuntian actually had a child, and he praised him highly? Who was that
"My child is the four-headed fire dragon you mentioned."
"What? It's really it!" Wutan was shocked. He had thought of the Fire Dragon before, but now hearing it from the mouth of the Demon Emperor Shuntian himself, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
Next, a series of questions popped up in my mind.
As if he knew what Wu Tian was going to ask, Demon Emperor Shuntian spoke first: "I know you have many doubts in your heart, but I can only answer two of them for you."
"First, this emperor and the Fire Scale Beast are indeed good friends. The Yuan Swallowing Frog beside you is not only the descendant of the Heaven Swallowing Beast, but also the inheritor of the Fire Scale Beast. Therefore, this emperor will not harm it. Instead, I will leave it and its companions in the Demon King Palace, preparing to temper their temperaments."
"Second, my children used to occupy Ganghuo Peak. It was actually my order. On the one hand, it was to help the Fire Scale Beasts. Unfortunately, they were too stubborn and unwilling to accept my request. On the other hand, it was to protect the Ganghuo Essence."
"The essence of Ganghuo?"
Wutan was surprised. He thought of many reasons why the fire dragon guarded Ganghuo Peak, but this was the only reason he didn't expect. But then again, what was the use of the Ganghuo Essence that made the Demon Emperor Shuntian pay so much attention to it
Before Wu Tian could ask, Demon Emperor Shuntian decisively said, "I will not answer any other questions. If you really want to know, come to the Demon Emperor Palace to find me after you reach the Unparalleled Stage. I will tell you everything I know."
"By the way, if you plan to enter the Fire Valley of Nanquezhou, I advise you not to go. There is no rush to kill the Sword Master and others. They will naturally show up soon." The Demon King Shuntian warned. When he said this, a hint of solemnity flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"Why?" Wutan frowned. The imperial master who stole his grandfather's remains followed the sword master to the Fire Meteorite Valley. If there were no special factors, he had to go on this trip.
"This matter is very complicated to explain. Besides, you are not suitable to know it now. Your primary goal now is to practice hard and do your best to improve your own cultivation within the next hundred years. Then everything will be revealed naturally."
Then, the Shuntian Demon Emperor added, "As for the remains of your grandfather and others, you don't have to worry at all. If the instigator really wanted to destroy them, he could have just destroyed them in Dragon Village. Since he didn't do that, it means he had other plans. Before he shows up next time, I can be sure that your grandfather's remains will be intact."
Hearing this, Wu Tian lowered his head, his expression changing constantly, and finally raised his head, stared at him, and said, "Why are you so sure?"
"Haha! This is experience." The Demon Emperor Shuntian smiled faintly. As soon as he spoke, Wutan felt the scenery in front of him change rapidly, and finally stopped at the first-floor hall.
The five little guys were still fighting each other, but Wutan ignored them and looked up at the tenth floor with flickering eyes. He still had a lot of questions in his mind.
For example, what exists in the Fire Meteorite Valley that makes the Demon Emperor Shuntian so solemn, what secrets are hidden in the Cemetery of Gods and Demons, what is the use of the Ganghuo Yuan, and so on.
Obviously, the Demon Emperor Shuntian was afraid that he would ask these questions, so he sent him directly out of the tenth floor.
"The Great Venerable announced that he would go into seclusion for a hundred years, and the Demon Emperor Shuntian also asked me to work hard to improve my cultivation within this hundred years. This seems too much of a coincidence. Could something big be happening a hundred years later?" Wutan muttered, his mind full of doubts.
After pondering for a long time, Wutan still couldn't figure out the reason. He couldn't help feeling a little angry. Why did everyone know some things but kept them from him
Shaking his head vigorously, Wu Tian stepped forward, grabbed the little guy, and asked, "How did you deal with the old man in the first place?"
"It's a secret, I can't tell you." The little guy struggled.
Wutan briefly recounted what had happened in Long Village and expressed his doubts.
Hearing this, the little guy stopped struggling and comforted him, "Little Emperor, I'm sorry, I didn't know so many things happened in the past few days, but your doubts are completely unfounded, because Su Lao was suppressed by me in the cesspool of the Ninth City."
"You didn't kill him?" Wu Tian said angrily.
"His cultivation has been wasted, so why kill him? Wouldn't it be more satisfying to let him suffocate to death in the manure pit?" The little guy laughed.
"Boss Frog, you are really shameless to think of such a way to torture people."
The Insect King winked at the little fellow, indicating that he agreed with its approach. He then looked at Wu Tian and said, "More than two years have passed. I'm afraid that the old man has already turned into bones. So, Wu Tian, it would be better for you to start your investigation from another direction."
After thinking about it, Wu Tian still couldn't rest assured, and said in a deep voice: "If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body. The five of you go to the Dark City immediately and bring back the body of the old man."
"Ah!" The little fellow howled miserably upon hearing this. "That's a manure pool that's bigger than the Demon King's Palace. The stench is enough to suffocate a person alive. You actually asked me to fish out the things in it? I would never do such a thing, even if I were beaten to death. Yes, I would never do it even if I were beaten to death!"
"We won't do it either." The Bird Saint and his beasts shook their heads and retreated decisively, keeping a distance of a hundred feet from Wutan and being on guard cautiously.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a pitch-black mustard bag shot out from the tenth floor and floated in front of Wu Tian. A voice also sounded: "There are fifty bodies of the deceased in the mustard bag, enough to open the altar twice."
"Old man, you are bullying me by taking advantage of your power!" the little guy roared.
"You are disrespectful to your elders. Be careful that your son may have no asshole..."
Seeing this, the Insect King and several other beasts became indignant and started to curse arrogantly.
"If you don't go, just go through the training again like you did two years ago. Also, after you come back from the Dark City, come to the Demon King Palace. I have treasures for you."
"Okay, let's go." Upon hearing that there was a treasure, the eyes of the little guys and the beasts lit up and they nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Who is the Demon Emperor Shuntian? He is the ruler of the Dragon God Mountain Range. How can the treasure he gives be bad? It is worth it to smell the stench for the treasure.
The five little guys were thinking with shining eyes, and didn't notice at all that Wutan beside them had a dark face and veins bulging. As their owner and friend, he was really ashamed of their behavior and felt so embarrassed.
The little fellow grabbed the mustard bag, glanced at it excitedly, and shouted at Wu Tian: "Asshole, Lord Frog has agreed, why don't you let go?"
After taking a deep breath, Wutan loosened his hand, the little fellow chuckled, shouted, and led the Insect King and several beasts to quickly rush towards the ruins of the City of Hell. As for the swarm of blood-sucking insects, they did not follow.
Watching the beasts gradually disappear, Wu Tian looked up and asked in confusion: "What do you want to do to these little guys?"
He would not simply think that if Demon Emperor Shuntian really wanted to give the little guys treasures, there must be something fishy about it. Sure enough, Demon Emperor Shuntian's subsequent response confirmed his guess.
Demon Emperor Shuntian said that the reason he said that was because he wanted to trick the five little guys back to the Demon Emperor Palace and personally guide them in their cultivation. Just like the more than 10,000 blood-sucking insects outside, they all had to stay in the Demon Emperor Palace for the next hundred years and accept his guidance.
When Wutan asked why, the Demon King Shuntian answered very straightforwardly that it was for preparation for future wars, and then without explaining clearly, he directly ordered them to leave.
After thinking about it, Wutan didn't ask any more questions. If this strong man didn't want to say anything, it would be of no use even if he stayed in the Demon King Palace, so he left decisively.
As for the blood-sucking insects, being able to stay in the Demon King Palace and be personally instructed by the Demon King Shuntian is a rare opportunity for them. Therefore, Wutan also specifically instructed them to practice well, and when the hundred years are up, he will take them to travel across the five continents.
"The sun and the moon alternate, cause and effect cycle, one reincarnation ends, and another begins. However, this time the chaos came much faster than before. It may be because of the emergence of the Heaven-Destroying Battle Body!"
On the tenth floor of the Demon King Palace, Demon King Shuntian looked up at the sky. His sixteen eyes were shining brightly, as if they could penetrate the heavens and earth and see the world outside the five continents. If you look closely, you can also find deep worry in his eyes.
"well!"
With a slight sigh, the Demon Emperor Shuntian retracted his gaze and ordered: "Heavenly slaves and earthly slaves, use all the resources of the Demon Emperor Palace and the Dragon God Mountain Range to raise the cultivation of all blood-sucking insects to the half-step unparalleled stage within a hundred years!"
"All the resources?"
The two were horrified when they heard this. Tian Nu hurriedly said, "Master Demon King, the resources of the Demon King Palace are treasures left by the Dragon God. In addition, the Dragon God once left a divine decree that no Demon King of any generation may use these resources without permission unless it is absolutely necessary. Please think twice, Master Demon King!"
"Lord Demon King, what my elder brother said is absolutely right. If you really want to use the resources of the Demon King Palace, you can select some ancient species with potential in the Dragon God Mountains." The slave advised.
“You mean, the resources of the Demon King Palace are a bit wasted on blood-sucking insects?” Demon King Shuntian said indifferently.
"Isn't it? What's more, those blood-sucking insects are loyal to Wutan. If we do this, aren't we helping Wutan?" Di Nu asked back.
"Haha! Regardless of who I'm helping, I'll tell you one thing. Others don't know the origin of the blood-sucking insects, but I know very well that as long as they reach the half-step unparalleled stage and awaken the blood power in their bodies, they will become a death army that will terrify everyone."
Hearing this, the two were shocked. Having known the Demon King for so many years, this was the first time they saw him praise a creature like this.
The earth slave pursed his lips and muttered in dissatisfaction: "I don't believe that they are so terrifying that even a tyrant like the Demon King would be afraid of them."
"You're right. If their bloodline powers all awaken, I'm really scared." Demon Emperor Shuntian answered very straightforwardly. He glanced at the shocked and horrified Tiannu and said, "Don't ask any more questions. Just follow my instructions. Go down!"
"Yes, Lord Demon King."
The two men bowed, turned around, and looked at each other with strong shock in their eyes. Then their figures flashed, and the next moment they appeared in the square.
"Little brother, you take care of them first, I'll go find Wutan." Tiannu glanced at the densely packed blood-sucking insects below in disbelief, gave instructions, and teleported, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
