On the banks of the Menglan River, black river water flows on the calm surface.
Along the flow of the river, there are the winding and towering walls of the demon clan, resisting the attack of the invaders. Behind the city wall, as far as the eye can see, are the continuous mountains of the Demon Realm.
There, there is a temporarily opened cave. The cave is not big, but it is not small either. The space inside is enough to accommodate about ten people.
On the roof of the cave, there are ups and downs, and water drops are dripping. From time to time, a "tick" sound is made in the cave.
The cave was very quiet, as if there was no one around.
However, deep in the cave, on a raised flat stone, there was a person sitting cross-legged.
His whole body was surrounded by a strong black demonic energy, and his appearance and figure could not be seen clearly. However, the aura he exuded spread from the cave and shrouded the sky above the entire Menglan River, making people dare not be disrespectful.
This powerful pressure has shrouded the Menglan River for more than ten years.
However, even after more than ten years, the demon soldiers and generals stationed here have formed a habit. They did what they had to do under pressure.
That coercion reminded them all the time that there was an extremely noble man, the king of their demon realm, who was practicing retreat here.
The pressure spread all the way to the opposite side of the Menglan River.
There is a place where aliens will pass by every time they appear. There, there is chaotic spatial turbulence. In the past ten years, whenever spies from foreign races appeared and wanted to investigate the situation in the Demon Realm, they were frightened back by the terrifying coercion.
What's more, some people did not believe in evil and continued to approach the Menglan River, but under the city wall, they exploded into blood flowers. Before they died, they saw the mocking and mocking expressions of the demons.
Such a shock has made the Menglan River unusually peaceful in the past ten years.
"General, these ten years of peace have almost made me forget what it was like to fight." A demon general sighed on the city wall with the demon general stationed on the banks of the Menglan River.
Yuan Feng gave him a faint look and said in a rash voice: "Don't be ignorant of blessings when you are in the midst of blessings. In recent years, the aliens have become more cunning and more ambitious. Your Majesty, you are worried that something will happen during his seclusion, so you personally Sit down and ensure peace."
"Actually, the king has thought too much. Even if there is an alien attack, wouldn't there still be feudal lords?" The demon general said disapprovingly.
But Yuan Feng saw it more clearly than he did, "The feudal lords have their own territories that need to be managed, and stabilizing the peace of the Demon Realm is their main responsibility. What's more, you and I have been stationed here for so many years. In any battle led by the feudal lord, was there not a narrow victory? A defeat. , there are also some.”
As he said that, he clenched his fist and hammered the city wall hard. He gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "These damn aliens! They are becoming more and more difficult to deal with."
Over the past ten years, he has discovered that the alien races seem to be evolving at a very fast rate. They are becoming stronger and more cunning, and are more difficult to deal with than before.
"Who says it's not the case? These alien races are also interesting. They keep staring at our demon race. The gods are just making small fuss." The demon general complained.
Yuan Feng shook his head, "That's not entirely true. I received news not long ago that the aliens also launched a sneak attack on the Divine Continent. However, those divine races were all doing their own thing. By the time they reacted and rushed over, the aliens had already retreated. They had to eat. A secret loss, it is said that there were heavy casualties, the city where two gods lived and ten mortals lived was massacred."
The demon general was shocked, "When did this happen?"
Yuan Feng said with a sarcastic smile: "It's not surprising that you don't know. As soon as this incident happened, it was immediately suppressed by the Divine Realm. It was said that it did not want to disturb the people's hearts and cause panic. If we, the demon clan, had not been so powerful, we would not have known about this at all. thing."
"Hmph, what the Gods are always good at is whitewashing peace." The Demon General mocked sarcastically.
At this point, Yuan Feng nodded in agreement.
"Actually, I still think the king is worrying too much. Even if the feudal lords are not opponents of foreign races, don't we still have the princess? The last time the princess led the battle, my blood was boiling, and I just felt that if I followed the princess, I would not If we defeat the battle, we can ruthlessly kill all the aliens!" the Demon General said excitedly.
"Shh!" Yuan Feng cautiously stopped his lieutenant. He said: "I heard that the princess has been away from the Demon Realm for some time."
The demon general was dumbfounded, as if he never expected such an answer.
After a while, he muttered, "The princess is not here, so it's no wonder that the king is worried about the war here and suppresses it here personally."
"Actually, this is also beneficial. It prevents the attack of foreign tribes, and the king can retreat with peace of mind." Yuan Feng said.
The Demon General nodded in agreement and looked at the black Menglan River.
Suddenly, he said doubtfully, "In the past, as long as there was no war, the Menglan River would become clear and beautiful. But in the past ten years, even though there was no war, the water of the Menglan River was still as black as ink. What exactly is the matter? what's going on?"
His muttering was not heard as it was.
However, even if he heard it, he couldn't give an answer. After all, everything is calm now. Even if there is doubt in my heart, the thought is just a passing thought and will not be investigated deeply.
…
Night is gradually coming.
At night, the Menglan River seems to blend into the sky, making it difficult to distinguish between you and me.
On the other side of the Menglan River, the weak point in the barrier between the gods and demons exudes a faint halo, sometimes dark and sometimes bright, no different from before.
However, at this moment, a hole slowly appeared in the barrier, and a figure quickly flashed out, followed by several more figures one after another.
When the hole was restored, there were seven more figures on the side belonging to the Demon Realm.
In the darkness, their figures could not be seen, and their faces were covered with masks, covering their appearance.
"Hmph, what kind of status do we have that we actually want to come here secretly." One of them said in a muffled voice. The tone was very dissatisfied.
Another person said: "We are here to assassinate. If we come in a big way, how can we do it secretly?"
"That's right. The assassination is disgraceful after all. Since we have covered up our appearance, we just don't want to reveal our identity. Therefore, let's stop pretending to be the God Emperor." Someone agreed.
"It's such an honor for a junior to actually let several of us take action at the same time." The person who spoke first was still dissatisfied.
Someone reminded: "It is true that the Demon Lord of this generation is our descendant. However, don't forget that his talent is comparable to that of a monster. He is young, but his cultivation level exceeds that of you and me. Otherwise, how could he be defeated by us?" You are afraid and want to take this opportunity to get rid of it?"
