The Heavenly Demon Palace was built on the mountain, and its scope was no less than that of the cultivation forces at the Martial Emperor level. However, compared with the normal cultivation forces at the Martial Emperor level, the Heavenly Demon Palace seemed much more deserted. This was because the Heavenly Demon Palace hardly recruited disciples, nor did it teach cultivation methods. It was more of a tribute site.
Even though the Heavenly Demon Palace did not recruit disciples or teach cultivation methods, a small town still formed outside the Heavenly Demon Palace. Every year, practitioners from all over the continent came to pay tribute. In order to ensure that they would not be late, many practitioners arrived early, and the small town in front of us developed because of this.
Seeing Yang Qi, who was in charge of gathering information, return, Yuan Jiu and Chen Jie immediately asked, "Brother Yang, what's the situation?"
"I have bribed the cultivators in charge of paying tribute, and also roughly investigated the Heavenly Demon Palace's mountain protection formation." Yang Qi nodded and continued, "According to my investigation, the power of this mountain protection formation should be at the level of a two-star martial emperor."
"Two-star Martial Emperor?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of Yuan Jiu and the other man darkened. With their strength, it would not be so easy to forcibly break through the mountain protection formation of their second brother at the two-star Martial Emperor level.
Moreover, entering such a powerful mountain protection formation, the opponent, with the help of the mountain protection formation, is also a huge threat. Although this situation had been speculated for a long time, when it really happened, everyone's faces also had a solemn look.
"The mountain protection formation must not be kept, otherwise once we fight with the Demon Emperor, we will most likely be at a disadvantage." Yuan Jiu said in a deep voice.
Yang Qi nodded slightly. This time they might have to face three Martial Emperors, and even some practitioners on the side of the Demon Emperor. If the other party relied on the blessing of the mountain protection formation, then it would be much more difficult for them to kill the Demon Emperor.
Yang Qi looked at Yuan Jiu and Chen Jie and said slowly, "In that case, let's follow the previous agreement. We will enter the Heavenly Demon Palace to pay tribute. Dao's clone will be responsible for destroying the mountain protection formation. We will take action after the mountain protection formation is destroyed!"
Before coming, they had discussed that if the power of the mountain protection formation was not particularly strong, then they might be able to try to kill the Demon Emperor by force. If the power of the mountain protection formation was not weak, then they would need to break the mountain protection formation first!
The shadow clone is good at hiding its whereabouts, and is undoubtedly the best choice for destroying the mountain protection formation. Moreover, since it is a normal tribute, there is no need to sneak in, which can provide them with considerable help in destroying the mountain protection formation.
Time passed, and soon it was time to pay tribute. The Heavenly Demon Palace was opened, and under the leadership of the Martial King Realm cultivator in charge of paying tribute, a group of tribute representatives entered the Heavenly Demon Palace one after another.
After entering the Heavenly Demon Palace, Yang Qi immediately hid his shadow clone and searched for the core of the formation that controlled the mountain protection formation. Yang Qi and the other two, led by the Martial King, headed for the tribute square.
During the tribute period, generally one of the three Martial Emperors will appear, and it is not necessarily the Heavenly Demon Emperor. The Martial Emperor that appears represents the Heavenly Demon Palace.
Led by King Wu, who was in charge of paying tribute, everyone came to a wide square. In front of the square was a huge platform, where everyone waited quietly.
Whoosh~
Everyone waited for a moment, and a figure flew over from the distant sky and landed directly on the huge platform.
"Demon Emperor!"
Looking at the middle-aged man in blue-black clothes, Yang Qi's gaze couldn't help but focus. This man was the strongest practitioner in this continent, the Demon Emperor!
"I didn't expect that the one who showed up this time was the Demon Emperor. Everyone, be careful and don't get targeted by him." Yuan Jiu immediately sent a message to Yang Qi and the others.
Now that the mountain protection formation has not been broken, it is not the time to fight against the Demon Emperor. Now they dare not even release their perception to sense the Demon Emperor's strength and can only wait.
"Greetings, Lord Demon Emperor!"
With the appearance of the Demon Emperor, many practitioners present bowed down one after another, and Yang Qi and the other two were no exception.
The King of Wu, who was in charge of paying tribute, immediately handed the list of tribute gifts to the Demon Emperor, "Master Demon Emperor, this is the list of tribute items for this year."
"good."
The Demon Emperor took a quick look at the list and nodded slightly. Although the items on the list changed every year, the overall value did not change much. This year was the same, and the Demon Emperor could naturally see it at a glance.
"It seems that there are more gifts this year?" The Demon Emperor looked at the King of Martial Arts and said.
Upon hearing this, the Martial King immediately said, "Your Majesty, this year three independent cultivators came to pay tribute. The extra items are the tribute items of these three independent cultivators."
not good!
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Yang Qi and the other two changed slightly. In order not to attract attention, when they bribed the other party, they only said that they came to meet the Demon Emperor. They did not say that they hoped to get any gifts or anything like that. They just wanted to reduce their presence.
Who would have thought that now that the Demon Emperor asked, King Wu would actually betray them directly!
"Get ready!"
Yuan Jiu quickly sent a message.
Ordinary Martial Kings cannot see their strength, but the Demon Emperor, as a Martial King, can feel it. Once the Demon Emperor notices them, their identities will definitely be exposed!
“Found it!”
At this moment, Yang Qi's eyes focused and he immediately sent a message.
Just now, the shadow clone has found the core of the mountain protection formation. I don’t know if it’s because the Heavenly Demon Palace has existed for too long and has been invincible for too long, but the core position of the mountain protection formation is actually guarded by a cultivator at the peak of the Martial King level.
"oh?"
The Demon Emperor seemed to be interested. Although there were independent cultivators on the continent, they often did not respect him, the Demon Emperor. Moreover, the independent cultivators were too scattered, so it was impossible for him to force them one by one.
"Lord Demon Emperor, these are the three wandering cultivators." Upon hearing this, King Wu immediately looked towards the location where Yang Qi and the other two were.
The Demon Emperor followed the direction of King Wu's gaze and immediately saw Yang Qi and the other two. When he glanced at them briefly, his brows slightly frowned.
Three peak martial kings? And they were independent cultivators
It should be noted that the resources of the continent are firmly controlled by the Heavenly Demon Palace. Although it is not absolutely impossible to produce a peak Martial King, the sudden appearance of three peak Martial Kings, who are all independent cultivators, is almost impossible!
The Heavenly Demon Emperor stared at Yang Qi and the other two and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
Boom!
As soon as the Demon Emperor finished speaking, a horrifying noise suddenly came from afar. With this noise, the mountain protection formation covering the Demon Palace was broken.
"Not good!" The Demon Emperor's face changed slightly. The mountain protection formation was actually broken by someone. How could he not know that someone was going to attack the Demon Palace!
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
The moment the mountain protection formation was broken, Yang Qi and the other two moved and rushed directly towards the Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor looked at Yang Qi and the other two who were rushing towards him, his face darkened, and he said coldly, "You are visitors from outer space!" (To be continued)
