The moon is bright in the sky and the wind is high and the air is fresh.
A man in gold clothes sat under the moon, drinking wine. There was no food but wine. He drank by himself, and a long time had passed.
As the last few people entered the city, the golden gate of Demon Castle was finally slowly closed.
"Let's go, the city lord has been waiting for us for a long time."
"I haven't prepared even a single peanut today. If you don't go quickly, the city lord will be drunk."
But when the Demon City Lord finished the last glass of wine, his eyes became brighter and brighter, without any sign of drunkenness. He put down the glass and said calmly, "Are you all here?"
"The Nine Evils of Demon City, the ninth one, Horse-Faced."
"The Nine Evils of Castlevania, the eighth seat, Minotaur."
"The Nine Evils of Castlevania, the sixth one, Adou."
"The Nine Evils of Castlevania, the fifth seat, Suzuzen."
"The Nine Evils of Demon City, the fourth one is Gu Ye."
"The Nine Evils of Demon City, the third one is Zhao Xiaqiu."
"The Nine Evils of Demon City, the second one is Ye Huo."
One after another, everyone knelt on one knee and saluted the Demon City Lord, but there was no sound after Ye Huo. There was a scholar standing next to Ye Huo, looking at the book in his hands with fanatical eyes, as if he was completely immersed in the story.
"Brother." Ye Huo reminded in a low voice.
The scholar finally reacted, put away the book immediately, and said aloud: "The chief of the Nine Evils of Demon City is Xiao Sheng."
Everyone said in unison: "Meet the City Lord."
"Okay." Mo Wen nodded.
The horse-faced man asked in confusion, "Why isn't Yan Laoqi here?"
Mo Wen stood up and said, "Seventh Brother has something else to do. Xia Qiu, have you settled both of them?"
"It has been arranged. We are having dinner in Zhu Gui Hall of the City Lord's Mansion." Zhao Xia Qiu replied.
"After running around for so long, it's time to have a good meal." Mo Wen nodded, then looked at everyone and said slowly, "Do you have a lot of questions to ask?"
Xiao Sheng immediately raised his hand.
"Oh? Boss, you have a question. Tell me." Mo Wen said with a smile.
"Can I read the book first? I'm at a critical moment. And it is said that the latest volume of Mr. Shanxu Laogui's storybook will be released soon, so I have to finish these previous works immediately." Xiao Sheng said seriously.
"Are you okay?" Mo Wen asked.
"I don't have time." Xiao Sheng answered simply.
"Then you just read the book. What about others?" Mo Wen waved his hand helplessly.
Xiao Sheng immediately picked up the scroll, sat cross-legged, and began to read it carefully. The others looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally Gu Ye made a decision and waved his hand to the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon: "The stage is ready, you two can start the show."
"Then I'd better obey your command respectfully."
"The two of us will express our confusion on behalf of all the brothers and sisters."
"May I ask why the city lord suddenly issued the Eagle Scream Order and summoned us back to the city?"
"Why did we encounter all the famous sects gathering outside the city when we returned to the city?"
"Why would the head of Shanglin Palace appear outside the city?"
"Today, a distinguished guest is entering the city with the Third Brother. Who is that distinguished guest?"
Mo Wen smiled and replied, "You two have said so many things, and each question is the answer to the previous one. I sent out the Eagle's Roar Order to summon you because the major sects have surrounded our city. And the reason why the major sects joined forces to besiege the city was of course because of the call from the Shanglin Palace, the leader of the world. And the Shanglin Palace called on the major sects because of the two guests entering the city. So you only have one question, which is who the two guests are."
Gu Ye frowned. "One of the two guests is Su Baiyi, who is said to be a master of the Demon Sect's secrets, and the other is a remnant of the Demon Sect, a descendant of the Nangong family. Rumor has it that our Demon City was attracted by their martial arts, so we brought them into the city."
"What do you think?" Mo Wen curled his lips.
"The secret teachings of the Demon Sect are not as powerful as the city lord's golden sword." Ling Ran said with a smile, "All those words in the martial arts world are nonsense."
Zhang Adou nodded immediately: "That's right. What's more, if the secret teachings of the Demon Sect are really that powerful, can Zhao Laosan capture them all by himself?"
Zhao Xiaqiu couldn't help but correct him, "I didn't use force. I said I invited them both to visit Demon City!"
"These two people indeed possess peerless martial arts, martial arts that even the Shanglin Heavenly Palace is envious of." Mo Wen suddenly said.
"This kind of martial arts is only worthy of being enjoyed by the city lord in the world." Ling Ran said immediately.
"How come your face changes so quickly?" Zhang Adou exclaimed.
Ye Huo, who had been silent the whole time, shouted in a low voice: "Stop arguing and listen to the city lord!"
Everyone fell silent again. Mo Wen sighed and continued, "But I am not interested in that martial arts. Su Baiyi is the son of an old friend of mine, and I want to save him."
Everyone looked at each other for a few seconds without saying a word.
"But this matter has nothing to do with you or Demon City. You can leave at any time." Mo Wen continued, "If Demon City still exists after this incident, you can come back at any time."
Still no one spoke, only Zhang Adou yawned.
"I've finished reading." Xiao Sheng suddenly closed the book in his hand, took a long breath, and stood up.
"So beautiful?" Mo Wen said quietly.
Xiao Sheng put the scroll into his arms and said, "It's so beautiful, especially the last sentence of this scroll."
"What?"
"Defeat them!"
Shanglin Heavenly Palace, the dark prison.
"Devil's Castle, is this your arrangement?" Helian Xiyue put the rice basket in his hand on the ground.
"Since I found out that the people from Qianjiyuan have found the vicinity of Xinghua Village, I wrote a letter to Mo Wen. As for what he does, that's his business. You know, he's a very uncontrollable person." Xie Kanhua took a pot of wine from the pot, "Demon City, I can't afford it."
"Your apprentice and daughter have entered the Demon Castle." Helian Xiyue said lightly.
"It seems like he made a very difficult choice." Xie Kanhua raised his head and took a sip of wine. "I guess Bai Jile sent a lot of people to besiege the Demon Castle. Shanglin Tiangong should send the Dragon Chief of Qingming Court who has a grudge against Mo Wen. The four major families and Daze Mansion should all respond."
"They want to destroy Demon City." Helian Xiyue said.
"They want to destroy Demon City just like they destroyed the Demon Sect back then." Xie Kanhua tore off a chicken leg, "But anyone with the surname Long can be the leader. How can such a weak Dragon Alliance still want to replicate its past strength?"
Helian Xiyue frowned slightly: "Aren't you worried?"
A soft cough was heard from the depths of the prison.
Xie Kanhua took out another pot of wine from the basket and pushed it into the depths of the Nether Prison: "What do you think, Senior?"
The voice from the depths of Hell sneered, "You are afraid."
Xie Kanhua sighed softly: "Of course I'm afraid. After all, what I told Mo Wen is a bit complicated, and Mo Wen's real choice has just begun."
