Chapter 720: Demon King (1)

“After swallowing the newly born little Demon King, the old Demon King will immediately reach its peak. You only have one chance.” Liu Huo looked at Ji Fengyan as he spoke.

Ji Fengyan stared at him. “Liu Huo, you seem to know a lot? Who exactly are you? Are you really of the blood clan?”

The question startled Liu Huo. He lowered his eyes and avoided Ji Fengyan’s gaze.

“Now is not the right time yet. I will tell you everything about myself in the future.”

Ji Fengyan laughed. “Don’t worry. I will not force you to talk about something you don’t want to.”

“Thank you.” Liu Huo heaved a sigh of relief.

After finishing her words, Ji Fengyan dispelled the boundary and had Linghe tie Zhan Fei up.

Following that, Ji Fengyan reorganized the troops. She did not dare to and refused to use men from the Green Nightmare Army.

She was not interested in being involved with soldiers who could not be loyal even to their own general.

After reorganizing the Wolf Smoke Regiment and the Blaze Army, the troops stood sternly before the huge palace.

Ji Fengyan looked at the tightly locked gate. Taking a deep breath, she kicked it open!

A strong demon aura surged out of the open gates. That intense smell was extremely suffocating.

The scene presented before everyone after the gates were opened had them all stunned.

Within the darkness of the palace, thick strands of demon vines were snaked all over the floors, walls and pillars. At the end of these demon vines were countless decaying demon corpses all sucked dry by those vines. Lying haphazardly all over the floor, the vines had penetrated their mouths—their expressions ferocious and demonic even in death.

Between the demon corpses, slender strands of demon vines coiled upon the ground, curving toward the throne facing the main door.

The demon vines, which had entwined to form a huge ball resting on the seat completely enveloped the throne. The vines on the surface of the ball were throbbing slightly.

“What... what the hell is this?” Linghe gaped at the scene before him. The soldiers behind him had also been scared witless.

A strong demon aura permeated the surroundings. It shrouded everyone who stepped into the palace.

The mass of dried-up corpses and that evil stench made one think of hell.

“That is the new Demon King.” Liu Huo told Ji Fengyan in a low voice.

“Didn’t you say that the old Demon King is also here?” Ji Fengyan looked at Liu Huo.

He nodded as he looked in wonder across the palace.

“Be careful. It must be hiding somewhere in this palace. You had fought it outside and it might already be on high alert.”

Ji Fengyan understood and ordered her men to stay.

Just as everyone was totally creeped out by this weird palace, a huge black shadow swept over the top of their heads.

Ji Fengyan was on high vigilance as she instantly turned towards that shadow.

A two meter high demon had landed on the throne.

It was a humanoid-shaped demon with four long, slender limbs. A mantle made from gray-colored scales trailed behind it. Overlapping scales could also be vaguely seen all over its pitch-black body.

“Unwelcomed guests, why have you come here?” A low, raspy voice sounded from the demon’s mouth. Its question echoed within the darkness within the vast palace.
