Strong winds swept in, sand and gravel flew everywhere. This weather was more terrible than a typhoon, and even if it was ten times worse, it was not as stressful as the demon lord and the centipede beast.
The head of the giant centipede was red, with two sharp tentacles on top of its head facing everyone. The centipede was ten and a half feet wide, and five or six horses could ride side by side on its body. Its body was over ten feet long, and it could carry more people than more than ten carriages.
The centipede monster was impervious to wind and sand, and even the strange wind was repelled away, so all the monsters stood firmly on it.
A huge tiger demon king, only slightly smaller than an elephant, stood on the centipede's head. Behind the tiger demon king stood four demon generals and more than twenty demon generals. Behind them stood some demon soldiers and civilians, both young and old.
Before Fang Yun and others could even say a word, the tiger demon opened its bloody mouth and roared at the many scholars.
"Roar… "
A strong fishy wind gushed out from the tiger's mouth, blowing everyone away, even the demon generals like Niu Shan were blown to the ground.
"Humans? Kill them all!" With a command from the Tiger Demon Marquis, the Demon Commander and the Demon General jumped off the giant centipede together.
The giant centipede opened its mouth, and a sand ball that kept rotating and growing appeared in front of its mouth. The sand ball contained a powerful energy and blood force. Once it erupted, each grain of sand was a hundred times stronger than a bow and arrow, enough to easily break through the defensive power of Jinshi Wenbao.
The energy and blood around the Tiger Demon Marquis became stronger and stronger, and a blood-red tiger claw with a diameter of ten feet condensed in the sky, which could fall down and kill everyone at any time.
The wind was getting stronger, and everyone was filled with despair.
"Let's fight!" Yan Yukong and several disciples from big families were about to take out their last trump cards.
Suddenly, Niu Shan shouted, "Who dares to kill His Majesty the Moon Emperor? Come and apologize!"
All the human race looked at Niu Shan as if he were a madman. Although the moonlight was useful, it was not omnipotent. No one knew what the demon ancestor's gate was. But since this was the biggest secret of the Holy Ruins, its level must be much higher than that of the Holy Ruins outside. The demons here might not care about the moonlight.
Just as the crowd was about to fight, the monsters who wanted to attack stopped. The tiger monster looked at everyone in confusion, and finally his eyes fell on Fang Yun. He jumped off the centipede beast with a surprised look on his face. The four strong and powerful tiger legs moved forward alternately, and they did not sink at all when they stepped on the sand.
As the Tiger Demon Marquis walked, he said, "It turns out that Master Yuewei has arrived. I was rude just now. I hope you will forgive me. Please get on the Sand Centipede and I will escort you to the First Star City."
After Tiger Demon Hou finished speaking, he lowered his head slightly and stood to one side, signaling Fang Yun to get on the centipede beast.
Niu Shan was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand how the Moon Emperor became a Moon Guardian, but thinking that this might not be the Holy Ruins anymore, he didn't dare to say anything more.
The candidates were stunned at first, and then their faces showed ecstasy.
There is help!
The officials did not expect that Fang Yun's identity would be applicable in such a place. No matter who the Moon Emperor or Moon Guard was, since he could make a powerful Demon Lord call himself a little demon, it meant that Fang Yun's status was above that of a Demon Lord, at least equivalent to a Demon King.
Sun Naiyong's clenched fist slowly loosened. He secretly felt lucky. Since the other party said there was a city, it meant that there was a powerful demon clan nearby. Once the two sides fought, it would inevitably attract the power of the demon clan city. Even if they played all their cards, they would not be able to deal with the power of a city.
Fang Yun had been mentally prepared for a desperate battle, but he didn't expect that his Moonlight would still have an effect. Although he was demoted from Moon Emperor to Moon Guard, he was still treated as a VIP, which was good.
"Thank you, Demon Lord. Can my companions go with you?" Fang Yun asked.
Tiger Demon Marquis narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully scanned the other people present. The murderous intent in his eyes rose greatly, but soon faded away. He said: "Since Lord Moon Guard has spoken, I will naturally obey. However, after entering the First Star City, these humans must not stay away from you, nor walk around randomly."
"I will restrain them." Fang Yun said.
"Please get on the sand centipede, sir." said the Tiger Demon Marquis.
Fang Yun nodded and slowly walked towards the sand centipede. The huge sand centipede was originally murderous, but now it swiftly put away the spinning sand ball, closed its mouth, and placed its head obediently on the sand. Its two tentacles shook gently, expressing its welcome to Fang Yun.
Those monsters slowly retreated to make room for Fang Yun.
The old demons showed awe, while the young ones looked at Fang Yun with great envy. A little tiger said in a baby voice, "Lord Moon Guard is so majestic. Even the big centipedes are afraid of him. I want to be a Moon Guard too."
An old demon tiger said softly: "Don't talk nonsense, Lord Moon Guard is the Moon God's personal guard, you are not qualified to be one."
"Oh." The little tiger was extremely disappointed, and looked at Fang Yun with more and more envy.
The others came up one after another, and the little tiger pouted, seeming to be very unhappy.
Fang Yun stood slightly behind the sand centipede, where the demon generals had originally stood. The other scholars and Niu Shan all stood behind him.
"Go to Star City." With a command from the Tiger Demon Marquis, nearly a hundred pairs of legs of the sand centipede moved together, rising and falling like waves, galloping across the sand at a high speed, comparable to a horse running at full speed.
All the wind and sand were blocked by the sand centipede's magical power, and everyone no longer had to worry.
Yan Yukong immediately bowed to Fang Yun and said, "Thank you, Brother Fang."
The others also bowed hastily to express their gratitude.
"You are too polite. We have been through thick and thin together. There is no need to thank me." Fang Yun said with a smile.
"Alas, Master Fang has saved us again." Shi Tang said.
Everyone thought about their previous experiences in the sandstorm and compared them with the current situation. There was such a huge difference, and they were filled with emotion.
Jia Jing'an looked at Xun Ye and said, "Brother Xun Ye, now you know why Brother Shoulu gave the Han family's "Secret Records of the Sacred Ruins" to Fang Yun."
Xun Ye's face suddenly turned red, a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head without saying a word.
"Oh? What's going on?" Sun Naiyong asked.
Jia Jing'an recounted the incident that day when Han Shoulu wanted to give Fang Yun the "Secret Records of the Sacred Ruins" but was stopped by Xun Ye. He then told how they were in danger that day and Xun Ye hid aside and did not rescue them, but Fang Yun dragged his seriously ill body to help and scared away the Wolf Barbarian Saint.
"Beast! I really want to kick you down." Sun Naiyong was immediately furious. He didn't care about any sub-saint family.
Although the other few people did not speak, they could not help but stay away from Xun Ye. It was so dangerous here, and it was a simple choice to get close to Fang Yun or Xun Ye.
Xun Ye lowered his head and remained silent.
After two quarters of an hour, the wind and sand weakened, and it seemed that the sandstorm was about to end.
Tiger Demon Marquis suddenly said, "Master Yuewei, you are a Juren of the human race, equivalent to a demon general. You came to the First Star City this time for the 'Comet Corridor', right?"
Fang Yun's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Oh? How did you know?"
"The Comet Gallery was originally the place where the Demon Ancestor selected the Star King. This time, the Comet Gallery flew over the First Star City in advance. The young demons from the Demon Realm and the Star City are already prepared. Apart from the Comet Gallery, there is nothing in the First Star City that can attract you to come."
"I know that many saints from the demon world have come here." Fang Yun said.
"Yes, I received news that the eight demon generals of the demon clan have arrived in Star City. But don't worry, our ancestral demon clan all belong to the Star Demon Barbarians. Since you are the Moon God and Moon Guard, they dare not touch you outside the Comet Corridor."
Fang Yun nodded, feeling confused, but since he was mistaken for a Moon Guard, there were some questions he couldn't ask, so he gave Li Fanming a wink.
Li Fanming thought for a long time before he asked Tiger Demon Marquis with a smile: "My Lord Demon Marquis, I have some small things here. Take a look and see if you like them." As he spoke, he took out a tiger-striped grass that he found at Longya from the Hanhu Shell.
Tiger Demon Hou sniffed it, turned his head and opened his mouth to inhale. He sucked the tiger grass into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and his eyes showed satisfaction.
Li Fanming breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile: "We humans call this place the Demon Ancestor's Gate. What does it have to do with the First Star City and Zuyuan?"
Tiger Demon Marquis did not answer, but chewed the tiger-striped grass slowly. After swallowing the tiger-striped grass, he said, "Zuyuan was a part of the demon world, and was later separated from the demon world by the Demon Ancestor to form its own world. After the Demon Ancestor disappeared, the demon world was in chaos, and the Blood Demon Barbarians attempted to occupy Zuyuan. The descendants of the Demon Ancestor had no choice but to close Zuyuan. The Demon Ancestor's Gate refers to the entrance to Zuyuan, which is vast and boundless, and the First Star City is the only city at the entrance to Zuyuan. In fact, Star City is an external name, and we native demons call it Demon Mountain."
"I see. However, we all know that the big cities in the demon world are all built on mountains. After all, the demons can't live in houses they built themselves like us humans. However, the Comet Corridor sounds a bit strange."
"When the Demon Ancestor saw a comet in the sky that was different from other comets, he reached out and grabbed it, and refined it into a long corridor for the Demon Generals to test. Later, he found that any disciple who could reach the core of the comet would be able to sense the stars in the sky, so he placed a throne at the end of the corridor. Every time someone enters the comet corridor, the first one to sit on the throne will be named the King of the Stars and become his personal disciple."
Everyone was shocked, Fang Yun was especially shocked, because they knew that he knew better than anyone else what a comet was. A comet was hundreds of millions of miles long, but it was refined into a long corridor by the Demon Ancestor, and it was only used to test demon generals. It was really a big deal.
"So can I still be a disciple of the Demon Ancestor now?"
"The Demon Ancestor has been missing for a long time. Although the Star King cannot accept his teachings, our ancestors still regard the Star King as the disciple of the Demon Ancestor, and his status is equal to that of the Moon Guard."
"Ah? The Demon Ancestor's disciple is only in name only. Does the Star King get any extra benefits?"
"No, it is said that becoming the Star King has other benefits, but unfortunately only the Star King himself knows, and we don't know. I also heard that the Second Star City has a way to let the demon commander enter it, and he can get more benefits, but it's just a rumor, and the details are unknown. But..."
The Tiger Demon Marquis looked at Fang Yun and said, "It has been a thousand years since the Moon Guards have participated in the Comet Corridor. As the first Moon Guard of a thousand years, I wish you to sit on the throne of stars and let the stars and the moon shine together." The Demon Marquis said as he looked at Fang Yun.
"Thank you for your good wishes." Fang Yun smiled.
The other candidates looked at Li Fanming together and asked him to continue to ask Tiger Demon Marquis questions.
"The gate of the Demon Ancestor, the Comet Corridor, is really impressive! Only the Demon Ancestor has the courage and strength to treat the heaven and earth and the stars as his courtyard. But what exactly is the Comet Corridor?"
Tiger Demon Marquis said, "You will know when you get there. With Lord Moon Guard here, you can all enter the Comet Gallery."
"Huh? Not everyone can enter the Comet Gallery?"
"Do you think that anyone can enter the Comet Corridor?" Tiger Demon Hou suddenly sneered and slapped the sand centipede with his tiger claws.
The sand centipede's body moved slightly, and then one of its legs suddenly bent upward, hooked Xun Ye, and threw him out. (To be continued...)
