The army with black armor and red eyes walked back on the thick ice and through the heavy fog.
Zhu Changyang stuck his head out of the window of the chariot and looked forward, and the towering cliff came into view again.
At this time, there were not yet tens of thousands of demon corpses on the cliff, nor was it a cliff "tomb". It was still majestic and dangerous, but it lacked the terrible demonic poisonous corpse aura that would occur thousands of years later.
So this time when he approached, he did not feel dizzy like the first time he flew across the Kudu River.
The cliff is divided into two, with a gap in the middle, forming a dangerous sky gate that can be guarded by one man.
The army passed through the sky gate and entered the devil's realm.
The atmosphere of the Demon Realm is completely different from that of other continents. As far as the eye can see, there are vast tracts of empty wasteland and wild mountains.
The spiritual energy is very thin, mixed with wisps of demonic energy, but it is just not suitable for righteous cultivation and does not affect daily life.
It was winter, the sky was grey and covered with thick white snow. Occasionally, a black ferocious bird would fly by, making a slightly shrill cry.
Zhu Changyang finally understood why other continents called the Demon Realm the Savage Realm. This place did look a little too primitive.
In fact, from a modern person's perspective, this place cannot be said to be very bad, it is still livable.
Modern China has built infrastructure in even worse places.
The key is that there are no spiritual veins and too little spiritual energy, so it is impossible to produce spiritual beasts, spiritual plants and various spiritual materials, which are the hard currency in the world of cultivation.
In addition, the demon cultivators practiced with demonic energy, which was contrary to the techniques of the righteous way, and they looked down on each other, so there were many conflicts.
There was another problem. As he went deeper into the Demon Realm, Zhu Changyang felt that his heartbeat seemed to speed up, and he felt inexplicably hot and restless.
He told Jun Shu about the situation and muttered to himself in confusion, "Could it be altitude sickness?"
He had studied the general map of the Misty Continent before, and this Demon Realm was not a plateau.
"It's the influence of the demonic energy." Jun Shu stretched out his hand and tapped his forehead. "You practice the righteous method, so you are not very adapted to the situation in the Demon Realm."
The orthodox practice of cultivation uses spiritual energy to cleanse the meridians and emphasizes fasting and abstinence from desires in order to reach a state of transcendence from the mundane world.
Demonic energy is just the opposite. It will stimulate people's desires. That is why demonic cultivators are often lustful and bloodthirsty. Once the desires of righteous people are too strong, they will also fall into the devil's way. This is the reason.
Zhu Changyang: I understand. The more evil spirit there is, the greater the desire.
No wonder these evil cultivators fight with the righteous people every day. They have great desires and scarce resources, which is enough to drive people crazy.
Jun Shu's breath passed into his sea of consciousness, and Zhu Changyang's heartbeat calmed down. He slowly let out a breath, then looked at Jun Shu and raised his eyebrows: "You are not affected at all."
Jun Shu paused for a moment, then pressed his temples with two fingers: "Ah, my head hurts a little."
Zhu Changyang: “…”
This poor acting is not exactly the same as when he first tried to scam me, but there is no difference at all.
I didn't expect that after so much time, Xiaoci's acting skills haven't improved at all.
The developer looked at Zhu Changyang, then at Jun Shu, and followed suit by raising his two front paws to hold the cat's head: "Meow~"
Zhu Changyang: “…”
Sure enough, the developers learned those uncivilized behaviors from Jun Shu.
After walking for another half a day, they finally arrived at the Demon Lord's palace.
The towering Black Mountain could be seen from afar. Huge palaces made mainly of black rock and white jade were scattered among the mountains, stretching from the peak to the middle of the mountain. They were more magnificent than any headquarters of any large sect that Zhu Changyang had ever seen before.
The army stopped at the foot of the mountain, and the chariot continued to fly forward, straight to the palace, and finally slowly landed in the square in front of the main hall.
Jun Shu, Zhu Changyang and the developer stepped out of the palanquin. A large number of attendants were already waiting outside.
As soon as Jun Shu appeared, everyone bowed and saluted: "Welcome your majesty to your triumphant return."
Zhu Changyang raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "Your Excellency is very respectful."
He had only seen this kind of scene in the evil feudal monarchy costume dramas before, and it was quite unfamiliar to a modern person who had been exposed to socialist ideas since childhood.
"It's all fake." Jun Shu looked calm, putting all the blame on the illusion, and then waved to the attendants, "Alright, everyone disperse quickly."
The attendants looked at each other, wondering why the Demon Lord didn't want to be served since he had just returned from the battle and should be tired. But they didn't dare to ask more questions, so they just murmured their promise and quietly left.
Jun Shu thought for a moment and called the two closest servants: "Wait a moment, you two, take us back to the room first."
After traveling all the way until now, it has already darkened, the snow is deep and the night is cold. It's time to take a good rest.
The two attendants quickly saluted: "Yes."
He then held the lantern and led the Demon Lord and another man and a cat towards the bedroom.
The heavy snow had just stopped and the road had been swept clean, but Jun Shu still reached out and held Zhu Changyang's hand: "Be careful, the road is slippery."
Zhu Changyang looked at him with amusement: "Don't worry, you won't fall."
Jun Shu remained calm: "I'm afraid I'll fall."
Zhu Changyang: “…”
How come Brother Jun developed prince syndrome after becoming the Demon Lord
The two attendants led the way while secretly observing Zhu Changyang out of the corner of their eyes.
Before the Demon Lord returned to the palace, the person in charge of communication sent back the news first, so everyone in the palace already knew that the Demon Lord had withdrawn from the battle for the sake of a righteous immortal master and brought him back to the Demon Realm.
The crowd was shocked and the news spread quickly.
In particular, the scene in which the Demon Lord resolutely showed up to meet the Immortal Master despite the confrontation between the two armies was repeatedly sung in vivid detail.
The nine realms and eighteen continents are no match for your smile.
With just one sentence, he asked the Demon Lord to withdraw his troops for him.
After seeing that the Demon Lord really allowed this righteous cultivator to return with him on the precious chariot, and now led him all the way, the palace attendants already had an idea in their minds.
It’s a pity that this immortal master is indeed good-looking, but apart from that, everything else is just average.
He is neither the leader of a famous sect, nor a powerful immortal master.
Never even heard of the name.
It really makes people wonder what the Demon Lord sees in this person
After passing through the wide courtyard and corridors, after a while, you will see the magnificent bedroom. The main body of the bedroom is still built with stone, which looks a bit cold and hard.
The maid had already lit the candles in the hall, and the yellow light shone through the windows, adding a bit of warmth.
"That's enough." Jun Shu stopped and waved to the two attendants, "You all can leave now."
"Yes," the attendants replied, but did not leave immediately. One of them looked at Zhu Changyang and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, where do you want to arrange for this young master?"
As a righteous immortal master, this person was brought back to the Demon Realm by the Demon Lord during the war between the two armies. In theory, he should be considered a prisoner. But this person was obviously not an ordinary prisoner, and they were a little troubled about how to place him.
"No need to make any other arrangements." Jun Shu said casually, "Just let him live with me."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhu Changyang and said, "You said you would sleep with me, is that okay with you?"
Zhu Changyang: “…”
here we go again!
When the two servants heard this, they looked at each other and saw the same gossip in each other's eyes: Wow, it is true!
And from the meaning of his words, it seems that the immortal master has already agreed to obey Your Majesty.
Compared to other immortal masters who tried to commit suicide after being captured, this one was relatively sensible.
But even so, Your Majesty is too impatient. He just came back from the battlefield and immediately wants someone to sleep with him. Doesn't he even want to take a rest
Zhu Changyang looked at Jun Shu who was pretending to be calm, but his hands unconsciously tightened slightly. He suddenly remembered the party at Jijin Sect. The comments in the live broadcast room said that Jun Shu slept on the head of his bed that night.
He also recalled the scene on the thousand-mile ice field in broad daylight, when Jun Shu's red eyes, which should have been filled with bloodthirsty murderous intent but were instead looking straight at him with such softness.
His heart suddenly started beating, and Zhu Changyang smiled: "I see, let's sleep together."
Seeing that he really agreed, Jun Shu's eyes suddenly lit up and he said happily, "That's better. Let's go into the room quickly."
The two attendants were smart and stepped forward immediately upon hearing this. Zhu Changyang happened to go to the side to take off his cloak, so the two took the opportunity to get close to Jun Shu and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you need us to prepare anything?"
Jun Shu was puzzled: "What do I need to prepare for a nap?"
One of them smiled and said suggestively, "Like bath water, perfume... something like that."
He paused deliberately in the middle to omit those words that were too explicit, but I believe that with your agitated mind at this time, you will be able to fully understand the main point.
Sure enough, Jun Shu's face showed a look of sudden realization: "That makes sense. Okay, then bring a bucket of hot water over, quickly."
The Lord really liked this. The two servants couldn't help but praise their own wit and asked, "What about the other...?"
Jun Shu thought they were talking about the ointment, so he waved his hand and said, "No need."
Zhu Changyang is not that refined.
The two waiters understood. After all, it was the first night and it was not a good idea to spend too much money. They heard that the immortal masters were very conservative.
The two were very skillful and soon brought hot water over. They also prepared some fine flower petals from other continents. One of them flatteredly said, "Your Majesty, the water is ready."
Zhu Changyang saw the unusually large wooden barrel and the steaming water and exclaimed, "Huh?" "You want to take a bath?"
"No." Jun Shu glanced at him and said, "I prepared it for you."
Monks are often outside for training and most of them practice cleaning spells.
Zhu Changyang also practiced, but just like he never practiced fasting, he still had to take a bath from time to time.
Rather than cleaning, it is more like a spiritual relaxation.
Jun Shu had been with him for such a long time that he naturally knew his habit. So when the servant mentioned bath water just now, Jun Shu immediately thought of it.
From the time they set out from Jijin Sect to the battle with Hu Daogui on the cliff tomb, demonic energy, corpse poison, and mud and sand were all mixed in. Although these have been removed with the cleansing technique, Zhu Changyang must still have felt a little uncomfortable psychologically.
Since I have nothing to do now, I might as well let him take a bath first.
Zhu Changyang understood his intention. Besides being surprised, he also had an indescribable feeling. After a while, he smiled and said, "Thank you."
Jun Shu didn't take it seriously, and just urged: "Hurry up and take a shower, you have to sleep with me after you take a shower."
Zhu Changyang: “…”
Brother Jun always says some strange things in the purest tone.
The two attendants were very perceptive. Seeing this, they quietly left the bedroom and were about to close the door when they were suddenly stunned.
One of them looked at Jun Shu who walked out of the door with them and asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, why did you come out?"
Jun Shu was even more confused than him: "He wants to take a shower, but I won't come out. Is he just watching from the side?"
waiter:
Of course not! You have to go down and take a bath together!
Play in the water with him!
Isn't that a big wooden barrel meant for you to do this
The author has something to say:
Attendant: What a useless lord.
