Chapter 388: Hongya Reunion, Demon King's Order
This team of demon soldiers are all wolves. They walk upright and hold maces in their claws.

Probably on patrol.

After seeing Lin Shan, they all howled excitedly like wolves and screamed like ghosts.

"Ouch~owoo~"

Lin Shan pressed down with both hands, signaling them to stay steady.

"Alright, alright, stop screaming."

At the beginning, the Demon King Kuihu gave him seven armies, and this group of little demons happened to be among them.

Now when they see their former leader coming back, dancing, howling, and drooling, those who don’t know would think they have come across the flesh of Tang Monk.

The Black Skull Demon Lord was a little surprised when he saw this. He didn't expect that this kid was doing well among the demon clan!
So popular?

Lin Shan immediately dispatched two little demons to carry himself and the Black Skull Demon Lord to find the tent of the Kuihu Demon King.

The rest should patrol.

The two wolf demons were running happily on the road, and their speed was not very slow, which was acceptable to both of them.

Probably a day or so.

We have arrived at Hongyadong.

It turned out that the Demon King Kuihu had completely defeated the Demon King Yuanlu and captured Hongya Cave two and a half years ago.

In order to prevent the Yuanlu Demon King from making a comeback, he personally stayed in Hongya Cave to guard it. As the gateway to the southern grassland, it is a good place to use as a lair because it can be used for both offense and defense.

The Jindan-stage cultivators who had tried to snatch the Reed Jade Stalactite from Hongya Cave had already escaped before the return of the Kuihu Demon King, leaving behind a mess.

Coupled with the war, Hongyadong was destroyed into a mess.

Fortunately, after so many years of renovation, the interior has been restored to its original appearance.

Based on the layout of the king cave left by the Yuanlu Demon King, it was improved and became the new king cave of the Kuihu Demon King.

Revisit the old place of Linshan.

Outside Hongya Cave, flags are flying and the cave is heavily guarded.

Outside on the grassland.

The two wolf demons were so tired that they were panting. They howled and sang the song that Lin Shan had taught them on the way while acting as mounts.

Two human voices and the howling of two wolves could be heard in the distance.

"The king asked me to patrol the mountain~an~an~"

"Ouch~"

"I'll take a look around the world~an~an~"

"Ouch~"

"Pick up my drum"

"Strike my gong~oh~"

“Life is full of rhythm~”

"Ouch~owoo~"

The sound was quite magical, and the little demons guarding outside the cave shook their heads and couldn't help but twist their tails.

The Kuihu Demon King in the Wang Cave was flipping through a military book when he suddenly heard singing outside and stopped turning the pages.

After listening for a while, he showed joy, put down the military book and walked out.

There is a yellowed manuscript on the desk with five big characters on it: "The Art of War by Guiguzi".

Outside the cave, the demon king Kuihu and Lin Shan met again.

"Your Majesty!"

A wolf stood at the foot of the mountain and bowed down.

The demon king Kuihu personally lifted him up and told him with a smile that he didn't need to be so polite.

"Military Advisor Lin, you are finally back!"

"When you went deep into the underground river and lost your trace, I was so worried. After driving away the Yuanlu Demon Queen, I went down there to look for you."

"Finally, we found the remnants of your presence, as well as those of Military Advisors Zhong and Wei, in the ruins of a karst cave, but that was the end of the clue, so we had to give up."

It was not difficult for Lin Shan to guess what the demon king Kuihu meant from just a few words.

Although the underground river is full of dangers and undercurrents, it is home to many unknown creatures.

But if this old overlord gets serious, just a slight move will be enough to turn the situation downside upside down.

It took a lot of effort to finally find the underground cave where the great battle took place.

However, the three brothers and Sailor Moon fell into the turbulence of space, so the clues were naturally cut off and they could not be tracked.

"There was some misunderstanding between us brothers, so..."

Lin Shan was extremely embarrassed. He wanted to explain but didn't know where to start. It was also difficult for him to talk directly about the Ming Snake Demon King and Shui Bingyue.

The demon king Kuihu was free and easy-going, generous and magnanimous. He waved his hand and told him it was okay.

"Since you have something to hide, there is no need to speak. I hope that Military Advisor Lin returns safely. I will welcome you back!"

Then he turned around and looked at the skeleton monster next to him.

"Who is this"

The Black Skull Demon Lord straightened his spine and spoke to him as if he were an equal.

"I am the third in command of the Skeleton Demon Lord in the fifth world of hell. I am the Black Skeleton Demon Lord!"

"never heard of that."

The Kuihu demon king shook his tiger head honestly.

"Uh"

The Black Skull Demon Lord was dumbfounded for a moment. Shouldn’t the normal procedure be “I’ve heard so much about you”?

You could at least be polite!

But the Kuihu Demon King stared with his tiger eyes as big as copper bells, clearly refusing to recognize his identity from the world of hell.

If it's the demon king from the Star-Swallowing Mountains, it's okay, but what about the messy Skeleton Demon Lord and the clones of creatures from other worlds? Can they affect me in the slightest?
There was no choice but for the Black Skeleton Demon Lord to retreat reluctantly and stand behind Lin Shan to be his obedient follower.

The demon king Kuihu brought Lin Shan into the king's cave and ordered his little demons to kill sheep and cattle in preparation for a feast.

At the same time, he summoned all the cave masters and demon generals, saying that today they were going to drink and party hard and not go home until they were drunk.

While waiting, the demon king Kuihu asked about the current situation of Zhong Shenxiu and Wei Wuya.

Lin Shan answered truthfully that there was nothing to hide and told it that the two were trapped in fragments of the outside world and they just needed to wait another Kun year.

When the two brothers return, they will definitely be the first to come to the Kuihu Demon King to claim the benefits. I am just one step ahead of him.

The Kuihu Demon King nodded, very curious about how he came back from Xiaoyizhou.

Speaking of this, it was exactly what Lin Shan wanted!

He gritted his teeth and told the story of Qingyang Peak's breach of trust and its betrayal.

In the end, he luckily survived the disaster and escaped from the turbulence in space.

After hearing this, the demon king Kuihu was also filled with righteous indignation and shared the same hatred for the enemy.

"Military Advisor Lin, rest assured. If these shameless people leave the forbidden area of ​​the cliff, it will be fine. But if they dare to pass through my territory, I will make them pay for it!"

At this moment, various cave masters and demon generals also came to the Wangdong Hall one after another.

They all found seats and sat down, listening to the conversation between Lin Shan and the Kuihu Demon King.

The little demons brought out the buffet one after another, and placed all kinds of fine wine and delicious meat on the table.

However, because the Demon King Kuihu had not started eating yet and was still chatting with Lin Shan, the other demon generals did not dare to eat and could only wait quietly.

"Thank you for your kindness, my king. I must avenge this grudge, but Qingyang Peak has many people and I am no match for them. I am afraid I will need to rely on you and the cave masters."

Lin Shan spoke frankly about his demands and did not intend to fight alone.

Why would you go there alone when you can borrow some help? Isn't Qingyang Peak awesome?

No matter how awesome you are, can you be as awesome as the Demon King Kuihu?
Aren't you people numerous?
How many demons can there be?
“Don’t worry, the outside world dare not say it, but as long as we are in the southern part of the cliff forbidden area, this king is the king!”

"How dare Qingyang Peak bully you? I'll stand up for you!"

"I'll notify you immediately if there's any news about them!"

The Demon King Kuihu immediately summoned a little demon and ordered him to search for the whereabouts of Qingyang Peak and others.

Lin Shan secretly praised the demon clan for their quick and efficient work, which was done neatly and without any drag.

After the demon king Kuihu gave his orders, the little demon took his orders and left.

"Come on, Military Advisor Lin, let's drink a big glass of wine and eat a lot of meat. You didn't attend the celebration banquet for the capture of Hongya Cave, so make up for it this time!"

"How dare you disobey your orders!"

Lin Shan picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

The Black Skull Demon Lord next to him also followed the local customs and drank while leaking.

After all, it is in the Jindan stage. Even though it cannot be on par with the Kuihu Demon King, it still has a place.

Now I am shocked that Lin Shan has such a good relationship with this great demon king!
And willing to help him get revenge!
He was also looking forward to it, and secretly sent a message to Lin Shan, urging him to speak quickly.

Lin Shan was eating and drinking happily, and reminiscing about the past with the Demon King Kuihu, General Bear, and a group of cave masters. How could he care about it?
I just kept agreeing and saying wait.

During the meal, they also asked about what happened after they broke into Hongya Cave that day and fought against the Yuanlu Demon King and Mr. Bei.

Speaking of this, the demon king Kuihu became depressed.

"Yuanlu is extremely powerful and gifted. I can certainly defeat and injure him, but even if he wants to run away, I can't kill him."

"The most important thing is that this kid has suffered heavy losses in his forces and is no longer able to compete with me. I'm afraid he won't worry about the struggle for hegemony and will instead focus on cultivation."

"I'll be afraid when it reaches the late Nascent Soul stage."

The Kuihu Demon King did not finish his words, but everyone could understand the implication.

The Yuanlu Demon King has the blood of a true spirit. Once he reaches the same realm as the Kuihu Demon King, he is afraid that the situation will be reversed.

In the past, due to various distractions, the Yuanlu Demon King could not concentrate on improving himself, and he had to keep fighting for territory.

But now it no longer has the capital to contend for supremacy, and with Mr. Bei, the logistics manager, to share its worries, it can lie dormant and practice for the time being, and it will surely make a comeback in the future.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much for now. It won't be possible to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage in the near future. Don't even think about it for a few hundred years."

"As for Mr. Bei, he is more than capable of maintaining the status quo, and is not as aggressive as others, so he is not a cause for concern."

“Your Majesty, take advantage of this time to build the southern part of the forbidden area into an iron barrel. Even if the Yuanlu Demon King in the late Nascent Soul stage comes to seek revenge, it will be difficult for him to compete with the entire southern forces alone!”

All the cave masters and demon generals nodded.

No matter how powerful the Yuanlu Demon King is, he is still just one person. It is impossible for him to fight against a large number of enemies alone when his subordinates have suffered heavy losses. He also needs the support of demon soldiers and generals.

Among the monsters, Mr. Bei’s military formation is certainly powerful, but the Monster King Kuihu’s ability to train soldiers is also not bad.

Without a piece of land to provide a steady supply of troops, it would be difficult for the Yuanlu Demon King to develop.

The Kuihu Demon King nodded and agreed with what Lin Shan said.

"Yuanlu has long since left the forbidden area on the cliffs and gone to the outside world to find a new place to live, a plateau, a plain, or a fertile pasture, where he is training and regrouping."

"It has Mr. Bei under its command, Dai Budong, Zhu Duiyou and others assisting it, and the remaining herbivorous monsters in the forbidden area follow it, so it still has a team."

"I have already sent little demons to explore the outside world. If I find their traces, I will chase them to the ends of the earth!"

The Kuihu Demon King spoke in a grim tone, holding a jar of wine in his hand. It was obvious that he was too afraid of this powerful enemy and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Even if you can't kill it, you have to hunt it down and suppress it, and don't give it a chance to develop.

Lin Shan nodded and no longer had any thoughts of getting involved in the battle between the two demon kings.

The demon king Kuihu wanted to tell him something.

"After Yuanlu was defeated, Qingniu from Xuanwu's corpse-rejecting land led his troops to flee southward, but was caught up by General Xiong near the Aurora Sea."

"This monster is worthy of being Yuanlu's right-hand man. He immediately abandoned half of his troops to guard the rear and led two thousand elite herbivores into the Aurora Sea and escaped from the forbidden area of ​​the cliff."

"Later, according to reconnaissance reports, we found traces of Yuanlu and his group passing by near the territory of a certain herbivorous demon king in the Swallowing Star Mountains."

"They migrated eastwards, to no one's knowledge."

Lin Shan listened silently to the demon king Kuihu telling about his troubles.

Ever since Mr. Bei defected to the enemy, the Demon King Kuihu no longer had any advisers around him and became lonely, with no one to consult.

Now that he saw Lin Shan coming back, he naturally kept nagging.

Finally, we finished eating.

The Kuihu Demon King took the opportunity to ask Lin Shan whether he wanted to stay by his side to give him advice and he was willing to treat him as a king.

Lin Shan politely declined, saying that he had a large religious family to support in Lu State and could not abandon it.

The Kuihu Demon King sighed and expressed his understanding.

Now that the Yuanlu Demon King has been defeated, it has become the only overlord in the south. It is temporarily free from internal and external troubles, so it has no intention of forcing Lin Shan to stay.

"I think Military Advisor Lin's visit this time is probably because of the promise I made to him after the war."

"Just as the king said."

Lin Shan bowed without feeling embarrassed at all, as this was what he deserved.

The Kuihu Demon King nodded and threw him a token directly.

Lin Shan took it. The token was made of frosted wood and was dark green in color. There was a tiger on the front and a monster on the back, both in the language of the monster clan.

There are prompts on the enhancement panel.

【Demon King Order】

Quality: Fifth-level spiritual material

Introduction: The unique token of the Kuihu Demon King, made from the ancient Kuisang tree.

Enhancement required: 128 points

“Ancient Kuisang Tree.”

"Demon King's Order!"

Lin Shan understood that the Kuisang ancient tree was most likely the previous demon king of the southern part of the Cliff Forbidden Land, and the Kuihu Demon King was his successor.

And for some unknown reason, his soul was driven into the spiritual treasure 'Bronze Zun Pan' and became the spirit of the artifact.

The current Demon King Order is also refined from its trunk.

"With this order in hand, you can not only go to my treasury and choose three treasures."

"You can also continue to command the Seven Armies, but only within the forbidden area of ​​the cliff."

"When you travel outside in the future, if you encounter other demon kings, you can show me. I can't say about other places, but at least in the Star-Swallowing Mountains, the carnivorous demon kings are relatively easy to use, and they will most likely give me some face."

The Demon King Kuihu was as generous as ever. Not only did he keep his promise and allow him to choose the treasure, he also gave him the Demon King Order as a token of trust, which was considered a special care for him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lin Shan was overjoyed and thanked him.

Then he hesitated and made a bold request.

"My king, can I sign an equal and free summoning contract with you? If I run into trouble at a critical moment, please come out and help me."

He thought that even if he had seven armies, it would be a bit risky to face Qingyang Peak, so he wanted to bring along the Kuihu Demon King as a precaution.

By the way, it can also be used as a layer of protection when you leave the forbidden area of ​​the cliff. With a strong backer in the late Nascent Soul stage, can't you do whatever you want?
The Kuihu Demon King glanced at him speechlessly and rejected him on the spot without hesitation!

"I owed you a favor at the Xuanwu Corpse Rejection Site, but I can only help you once at most."

"If you have any trouble, you can come to the Forbidden Cliff to find me. If you go out, you will easily be held accountable by the old human, so there is no need for a summoning contract."

"Ask the cave masters and demon generals below and see if any of them are willing to make a contract with you."
