207: Oh ho, even monsters play with the Geng metal element?
“Alright, why are you still pretending to be a good child in front of your father? Don’t I know what kind of person you are?”
The Demon Lord chuckled, completely devoid of the imposing Aura he had moments ago, looking just like a father teasing his son.
Of course, aside from the messy tentacles and distortions on his body, everything else was relatively normal.
“Father…” Luo Shuo lowered his head.
“I know this is my duty. Although I am unwilling, I must accept it.”
“Otherwise, it would be my younger siblings sitting here.”
“You’ve suffered.” The Demon Lord wanted to raise his hand and stroke Luo Shuo’s hair, but he had already lost the strength to do so.
“Your father won’t say much more. I can only last five more years at most.”
“During these five years, as long as you Cultivate diligently, even if you turn the Divine Demon Domain upside down, your father will cover for you.”
“While Cultivating, also go out and play more. Once you sit here, you won’t have the chance to leave.”
The Demon Lord took a breath and continued.
“Alright, your father needs to rest now. You may leave.”
“Yes.” Luo Shuo nodded and turned to leave the palace.

On the way to Golden Tiger City, Chen Heng suddenly turned his head to look at the sky.
At the same time, the Aura on his body instantly erupted, pressing down on Bai Jun and the Snake Demon Lord so much that they didn't even dare to breathe heavily.
“What’s wrong, Big Brother Chen?” Bai Jun looked at Chen Heng with some confusion.
“I don’t know, I just feel like someone is watching me?” After the feeling of being spied on disappeared, Chen Heng also withdrew his Aura.
“It’s very strange, that Qi was sometimes far, sometimes near, and it made me feel a bit sick.”
Chen Heng frowned, but he didn’t take it too seriously.
The sun was already setting, and the two men and one demon had reached the city gate of Golden Tiger City.
Golden Tiger City was more than six hundred and fifty li away from Kui Dragon City, and Chen Heng, with Bai Jun and the Snake Demon Lord, arrived in one day.
Chen Heng was in excellent condition, having barely exerted any effort.
Bai Jun followed Chen Heng on a Flying Sword, and aside from consuming some spiritual power, he was fine.
But the Snake Demon Lord was different.
In order to transform into a flood Dragon, she couldn’t use the Demonic Qi in her body at all, so she could only rely on her two legs to run wildly after Chen Heng.
Her shoe soles were smoking from the running.
“My, my Lord, can we not act today?”
The Snake Demon Lord was drenched in sweat, propping herself up with her hands on her knees, panting heavily.
“Let’s rest for a night, I, I’m almost dead from exhaustion.”
“Is there some exaggeration in your Demon Lord Realm?” Chen Heng rubbed his chin, looking at the exhausted Snake Demon Lord.
“No, my race naturally doesn’t have an advantage in physical strength. Battles mostly rely on poison and Spells.”
The Snake Demon Lord’s lungs wheezed like two broken bellows, huffing and puffing.
“You can even use Spells?” Chen Heng’s eyes lit up. He hadn’t seen the Snake Demon Lord use any before.
“Then why didn’t you use them when you fought me before?”
“You didn’t give me a chance…” The Snake Demon Lord finally recovered after panting for a long time, straightened up and said.
“Is it my fault?” Chen Heng spread his hands.
“No, I was too weak…”
The two men and one demon slowed down and walked towards the city gate of Golden Tiger City.
Even if they were going to extract a Demon Core, there was no rush. They could do it after dinner.
The Snake Demon Lord and Bai Jun could just find a place to rest. There wasn't much difference between them helping and them being a hindrance.
There were no minor enemies to clear out here, so Bai Jun could only play a supporting role.
The Snake Demon Lord was even worse, a completely useless flower snake.
But when the two men and one demon reached the city gate, more than ten rows of Demon Soldiers were already standing by, ready and waiting.
“What’s going on?” Chen Heng looked at the Demon Soldiers and found that except for the few leaders who were Demon Generals, the rest were all Demon Soldiers and Demon Spirits.
“I don’t know, could this be for us?”
Seeing this formation, Bai Jun’s first reaction was to pull out his startling swan sword and prepare to fight, even more impulsive than Chen Heng.
“Wait, don’t rush. It seems like it’s not for us.”
This time it was Chen Heng’s turn to stop Bai Jun, otherwise the boy would have already thrown out his thunder Spell.
“You guys, stop standing there foolishly, hurry up and enter the city!” A leading Demon General shouted at Chen Heng and the others.
“What’s the situation?” Bai Jun also put away his startling swan sword, looking at Chen Heng with a bewildered expression.
“I don’t know, but it looks quite interesting.” Chen Heng smiled slightly, planning to observe the situation first.
Under the escort of several Demon Soldiers, Chen Heng and the others successfully entered Golden Tiger City.
Bai Jun also immediately took out his myriad transformations, disguising himself and Chen Heng as members of the Yao Race.
“Brother, what’s going on?” Chen Heng walked up to a Demon Soldier, put his arm around his shoulder, and asked.
“You don’t know?” The Demon Soldier frowned and glanced at Chen Heng.
“A village to the east has been completely corrupted by black qi, and those mad demons are now rushing towards Golden Tiger City.”
“It’s black qi again…” Chen Heng had originally wanted to join in the fun, but it turned out to be such a small matter.
“Alright, you guys hurry into the city. The two City Lords will be here soon.”
The Demon Soldier urged Chen Heng and the other two, speaking with some impatience.
“Alright, then you all stay busy.” Chen Heng waved his hand, taking Bai Jun and the Snake Demon Lord to find a spot with a clear view, ready to start watching the show.
Not long after the three were ready to watch, two figures descended from mid-air.
Chen Heng narrowed his eyes and realized that these two seemed to be the brother and sister City Lords of Golden Tiger City.
“I remember the brother is called Zhu Ri, and the sister is called Zhu Chang.”
“Good heavens, not only is their hair white, but their eyebrows are white too?”
Chen Heng looked at the two figures, his gaze unconsciously drifting downwards.
“Hey, do you think the hair in *that* place for them would also be white?”
“Maybe so.” Bai Jun nodded, clearly also curious about this question.
While Chen Heng and Bai Jun were still discussing some strange topics, rumbling sounds already came from outside Golden Tiger City.
Groups of mad demons, whose strength had greatly increased after being corrupted by black qi, were rushing towards Golden Tiger City.
Zhu Ri and Zhu Chang, the siblings, stood in front of all the Demon Soldiers, simultaneously drawing the long sabers they carried on their backs.
A soul-stirring Tiger Roar echoed through the sky, and Zhu Ri and Zhu Chang attacked at the same time.
Golden Saber Qi shot up into the sky, and that large, dense mass of mad demons was directly cut down by the Saber Qi.
A thick smell of blood drilled into everyone’s noses, making Bai Jun sneeze.
“Big Brother Chen, the Moves of these two Yao Race members are quite similar to yours.”
“They are indeed very similar, both playing with Geng Metal Qi…” Chen Heng suddenly didn’t want to kill these siblings anymore. He had developed a great interest in Zhu Ri and Zhu Chang… “Clean up outside, gather it all in one place and burn it.”
Zhu Ri glanced at the leading Demon General behind him and ordered.
“Don’t leave any residue, even the blood-stained ground must be thoroughly cleaned.”
“Yes!” The Demon General bowed respectfully and hurried off with his subordinates to clean up the mess.
