"Prime Minister Dugu is a smart man. I believe he should know very well what I want." The man in black sat on the horse and shouted to Dugu Yingcheng with a proud look on his face.
"In that case, please come upstairs, sir. After all, there are many things that can be discussed more clearly behind closed doors."
Facing the pressure from the men in black, Dugu Yingcheng remained calm and responded appropriately, showing no signs of panic or helplessness, which the men in black admired. No wonder Tianze could become the leader of the eight countries. With talents like Di Shitian and Dugu Yingcheng, the cause and effect are obvious.
However, Dugu Cinema is well-known, so one should be cautious when dealing with this person and be on guard against him.
"Of course you can let me go up, but Prime Minister Dugu should also show some sincerity, and don't forget that Emperor Shi Tian is still in my hands." The latter sentence is a threat to prevent the other party from cheating, so he used Emperor Shi Tian to block the sword. The first sentence is a tactful reminder, asking Dugu Yingcheng to order the Tianze soldiers to lay down their weapons and retreat to a safe distance to ensure his own personal safety. He doesn't want to let Dugu Yingcheng hold him in exchange for Emperor Shi Tian.
Dugu Yingchen was a smart man, so he naturally understood what the man in black meant. He smiled as he said, "Of course."
He raised his hand, signaling the soldiers on the city gate to lay down their weapons and retreat. Then he took a step forward and made a gesture of invitation to the man in black. The breeze blew his hair at the right time, making him look very graceful.
"Sir, please."
With his hands open, he leaped up with his body erect, stepped one foot on the horse's back, and with a light tap, he soared into the air. His black robe fluttered in the air, like dancing claws and soul-stealing hooks, giving people a suffocating feeling.
From his posture, one can easily tell that this man's martial arts skills are definitely among the best. Even the king may not be able to get away with it under him.
The monarchs of various countries looked at the person in the air, and in addition to surprise, they were more afraid. This envoy who appeared out of nowhere not only had a strange temper, but also did not play by the rules. He acted arrogantly and recklessly, and did not take anyone seriously. I really don't know where Fengguo and Tianqi got this living ancestor from!
Their biggest wish now is to end this matter quickly, send this plague god back to where he was invited, and stop letting them suffer under his hands...
As soon as he landed on the tower, Dugu Yingcheng felt a pressure from the man in black, and for a moment he couldn't raise his internal strength at all. He had never seen such a skill that could completely suppress the opponent's internal strength without taking action, and he was very surprised. Although he knew that the man in black was very skilled in martial arts, he never thought it was so strong.
It seems that the king's speculation is not entirely unreasonable.
"Your Excellency the Envoy has excellent kung fu, but I wonder who your master is?" This sounded like a natural greeting, without mentioning anything else, but it also asked what Dugu Yingcheng wanted to know most, the origin of the man in black.
Sure enough, the man in black was slightly stunned when he heard this question, but it was only for a moment. If Dugu Yingcheng had not been paying attention from beginning to end, he would not have caught it.
He has a problem!
"Prime Minister Dugu, it would be better for us to talk about business first. As for other things, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." After cleverly changing the topic, the man in black walked towards Dugu Yingcheng, "Since I'm here, can you hand over the military seal to me?"
As he spoke, his hand had already reached Dugu Yingcheng.
But what he heard next made him jump up and down again.
"Military tokens? Imperial seals? Are you kidding me, envoy? How can I give you something as important as a military token and an imperial seal? Besides, I don't have them, how can I give them to you!" He smiled, as if he was telling a big joke. The more he acted funny, the more annoyed the man in black became.
"Damn it, what did you say? Are you kidding me?" He grabbed Dugu Yingcheng fiercely and brought him in front of him. Seeing Dugu Yingcheng's face full of sneers, yes, sneers, he felt his blood boiling, as if he would tear him into pieces if he said one more word.
"Dugu Yingcheng, you don't care about your life, but do you care about Di Shitian's life? And the people in this city, what will happen if you anger me!" He gritted his teeth and spoke every word. It's not that he was impatient. In fact, he could end the life in front of him with just a little force. But he couldn't. He had to get those two things and complete the task assigned by his master.
"Don't get too excited, envoy. I'm just joking with you. What you want is inside."
Following the direction pointed by Dugu Yingcheng, I saw a small room on the tower. However, the door was closed, so I couldn't see what was inside, and I didn't know if there was any ambush.
But at this point, he could only choose to trust Dugu Yingcheng. His damn self-confidence was still at work. He always believed that as long as he had Emperor Shi Tian in his hands, Dugu Yingcheng would not dare to play any tricks. So, he took Dugu Yingcheng and walked towards the room. At an angle that he could not see, Dugu Yingcheng made a strange gesture.
Standing in front of the door, the man in black was still a little hesitant, and then pushed Dugu Yingcheng in. Then there was a "bang" and the door was knocked open by Dugu Yingcheng.
All he saw was a wooden table and two chairs, with simple furnishings. The room was not big, and it didn't look like it could be used to hide soldiers. After seeing all this clearly, the man in black felt relieved to enter.
"Prime Minister Dugu, now that we have entered this room, it's time for you to hand over the things to me. You'd better be honest and hand over the things to me quickly, so that your king can suffer less. If you try to play any tricks, the consequences will not be something you can bear."
Dugu Yingcheng dusted himself off and stood up straight, still politely replying, "Of course, I will bring it to the envoy right away."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the wall. Then he counted from the bottom to the place where there were five bricks. He pulled the brick out of the wall, reached in, and took out something wrapped in yellow cloth. He stood up and walked in front of the man in black.
"This is what your Excellency wants. However, you have seen your stuff, but I have never seen the true appearance of my king. So this..." Before he could finish his words, he felt his body being pushed suddenly, and the thing in his hand had been snatched away by the man in black.
The man in black snorted coldly and glared at Dugu Yingcheng with contempt. "Humph, you still want to bargain with me? Don't you think you have the capital? I'm telling you the truth. Today I want both the things and Emperor Shitian's life!" He was straightforward, decisive, ruthless and resolute. After saying that, he hurriedly opened the cloth bag and checked the contents.
But what I saw were two wooden sticks.
He exerted a little force with his hands and squeezed them hard. The two wooden sticks instantly turned into powder in his hands.
"Damn it, you dare to lie to me, I want your life!" With a fierce look in his eyes and a ferocious face, he gathered his energy and tried to attack Dugu Yingcheng. However, the next second, he felt dizzy, and when he woke up again, the surrounding environment had completely changed.
"This is…"
The carvings were made of black beast skeletons, and the unicorn patterns on the two pillars were lifelike. The places a little further away were all shrouded in white mist, and it was not very clear. However, he was very familiar with this layout. Subconsciously, he took two steps forward. As soon as he approached the white mist, the mist dissipated, and then a skeleton chair appeared in his eyes.
The whole body was pitch black, with a deep green light. The black skulls were piled up one by one, looking a little creepy. There seemed to be a black mist lingering above, like a ghost that would not dissipate. If he said that it was just familiar just now, then now he could almost confirm it.
"Devil's Palace."
Strange, when did he come back? Wasn't he supposed to be on a mission in the human world
"Moyi, do you admit your crime?" A cold voice came with irresistible pressure, forcing him to bend his legs and kneel down.
"I pay my respects to the Lord Demon. I know my crime." Although he still didn't know what he had done wrong, since the Lord Demon said he was wrong, then he was wrong. This is the rule of survival in the Demon Palace, absolute obedience.
"Humph, not only did you fail to complete what I asked you to do, but you also caused trouble for me. Tell me, how should I punish you?"
Although he couldn't see the face of the person who spoke, he would never forget this voice. He just didn't understand what he had done to make the Demon King so angry.
He only remembered that he received the military seal in the Thirteen Prefectures of Yanglin, and he didn't remember anything that happened afterwards.
Could it be that something unexpected happened later that not only caused him to fail in the mission but also caused him to be seriously injured, resulting in partial memory loss
Did Emperor Shi Tian escape? And then defeated the coalition of seven nations? Did he expose his identity as a spiritualist, and let the laws of heaven and earth find out that he broke the rules and disturbed the human world, so they traced it back to his master
Oh my God, if this is true, then I am committing a great sin.
I don’t know what the laws of heaven and earth have found out. Could it be that they have even found out about the fact that I caught the furnace and cauldron in the human world
It’s over, it’s all over now. If all these things were to be uncovered, I would probably not be able to survive even if I had nine lives.
The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. I knelt on the ground, my body shaking and sweating profusely.
At this point, I can only pray that my master can find a way to save my life.
"Master, I admit my guilt. Please spare my life."
"Then tell me what you did wrong?"
Although he didn't know why the master would post like this, since he asked, he had to answer it properly.
"I failed to complete the task assigned by my master. Not only did I not disrupt the order of the human world, I also failed to retrieve the jade seal. Moreover, I should not have easily handed over the matter of capturing the furnace top to Nangong Tianlan. As a result, not only did I fail to frame Emperor Shi Tian, but I also left an eyewitness to implicate my master. I deserve to die. I beg my master to spare my life for my many years of loyalty."
