Quick Wear: Saving the Heroine Isn’t Too Easy!

The inner hall of the Demon King’s Palace.

"That's what happened. The little demons saw it, too."

Leng Qingxin told the captain of the guard the information she overheard from Pan Tu.

"I understand. I didn't expect Pan Tu to betray the Demon King, even though the Demon King treated him so well."

The captain of the guard had a sad look in his eyes. They had clearly sworn an oath in front of the Demon King to be forever loyal to His Majesty the Demon King.

"Captain, please let this monster killer let us go. We will tell him everything we saw today."

The little rabbit demon jumped up and down to attract attention.

The little tiger demon hid behind the little rabbit demon trembling.

The voice of the nighthawk demon was intermittent. Leng Qingxin had put a silencing talisman on it, and now it really became a swallowed eagle.

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Leng, these little demons were frightened tonight. I will let the guards take them down to rest first."

After sending the little monsters away, the captain of the guard breathed a sigh of relief. Now it was time to clean up the traitors. No matter who they were, anyone who betrayed the Monster King must die.

In the past few days, with the cooperation of Leng Qingxin and the captain of the guard, they successfully found the list of traitors who participated in the assassination of the Demon King, including Pan Tu and his Black Hawk clan, as well as his followers.

"The evidence we have now is not enough to prove that Pan Tu betrayed the Demon King. Besides, Pan Tu has the Puppet Sect behind him, and we haven't found any traces of the Puppet Sect."

The captain of the guard discussed with Leng Qingxin that now that the Demon King was seriously injured, she had no other companions she could trust except Leng Qingxin who had the Demon King's token. Pan Tu's betrayal made her dare not trust other people in the Demon King's Palace.

She said that she was not suitable for civilian intelligence work, and what a mess His Majesty the Demon King had given her.

"Why do you need evidence? I'm right here."

The little fox on Leng Qingxin's shoulder jumped down and turned into a human form and said to the captain of the guard.

"Your Majesty the Demon King? I am here to see Your Majesty the Demon King."

The captain of the guard hurriedly saluted Gu Xici, his eyes full of admiration.

"Well, how is the Demon King's Palace doing lately?"

Gu Xici walked to the desk and sat down. He picked up a folded book and looked at it, then put it back with disgust.

"Everything in the Demon King's Palace remains the same as before. The little demons are all innocent and naive, and the guards have always been dedicated to their duties."

The guard saw the letter that Gu Xici put down casually and added hurriedly:

"I have handled things in an orderly manner. I haven't had time to deal with these memorials yet. Don't worry, I will be able to finish them today."

Gu Xici couldn't help but sigh, this god's subordinate is so difficult to find even with a lantern.

"Qingxin, go back first. I have something to say to the captain of the guard."

Gu Xici said to Leng Qingxin.

"it is good."

Leng Qingxin glanced at the captain of the guard, and finally nodded to Gu Xici.

After Leng Qingxin left, Gu Xici spoke:

"Spread the news to the public. The Demon King's Palace will hold a festival in three days, and the Demon King will personally meet with representatives from the Changsheng Sect and Xiaoyao Sect at the festival."

Gu Xici plans to take this opportunity to deal with the traitor Pan Tu, and at the same time lure out the evil cultivator hiding in the Demon King's Palace.

"Yes, Your Highness the Demon King, please ask me to send someone to protect you."

The captain of the guard was a little worried when he heard Leng Qingxin say that His Royal Highness the Demon King was seriously injured.

"Yes, and make a loud noise to let everyone know that there are many guards protecting my safety."

"Yes."

The captain of the guard didn't know the demon king's plan, but it was enough for her to just follow the demon king's orders.

"Before the ceremony, go get the peerless soul-controlling pill from the Changsheng Sect. Oh, and don't tell them it's what I want."

Gu Xici winked at the captain of the guard and said, "Remember to keep it a secret."

"Yes."

Just as the captain of the guard was about to leave, she saw the demon king pointing at the memorial on the table and finally stayed to read it.

Three days later, in the square of the Demon King's Palace, there were groups of demons gathered together. There were also some human monks among the demons, and cheers could be heard one after another.

Colorful lanterns are hung high, incense is curling on the altar, and a mysterious and solemn atmosphere permeates the air.

The altar was filled with demon guards, each standing tall and straight.

"The time has come, the ceremony begins."

A goat elder of the demon tribe stood beside the altar with a solemn expression.

Gu Xici stood in the middle of the altar, took the incense handed to him by the little demon next to him, and bowed three times to the altar.

"I bow, and hope that my demon race can live and work in peace and contentment."

"Second bow, may our demon race prosper."

"Three bows, may the inheritance of our demon race continue uninterrupted."

After worshipping, Gu Xici lit the incense and turned around to look at the group of monsters under the altar.

"I have another important matter to discuss today. My Demon King Palace has a close relationship with the three major orthodox sects in the world of immortal cultivation. Today I would like to take this opportunity to meet the representatives of the three major sects. Now come here so that I can see the outstanding talents of the human race."

After Gu Xici finished speaking, he looked at the captain of the guards among the monster group and nodded to her.

"Leng Qingxin, the 37th generation chief disciple of Xiaoyao Sect, pays homage to His Majesty the Demon King."

"Gong Xinyue, the 37th generation chief disciple of the Changsheng Sect, pays homage to His Majesty the Demon King."

Leng Qingxin and Senior Sister Gong came to the altar at the same time, clasped their hands and saluted the Demon King.

Why didn’t Piaomiao Sect come? Maybe it’s because their whereabouts are elusive?

"You have such accomplishments at such a young age. You are truly a young person to be feared."

Gu Xici's eyes were full of admiration, as if he was seeing them for the first time.

"Thank you for the compliment, Monster King. I grew up listening to stories about His Majesty the Monster King. Now that I have met His Majesty the Monster King, I am very happy."

Senior Sister Gong was very excited. She thought there was no hope of meeting the Demon King this time. However, the captain of the Demon King’s palace guards found her the day before yesterday and said that the Demon King agreed to meet her.

She hurriedly handed over the peerless Soul-Controlling Pill and some contracts for free pill provision to the captain of the guard, lest the demon king go back on his word.

Leng Qingxin didn't say anything, but looked at Gu Xici with confusion. She didn't understand what Gu Xici was going to do.

Gu Xici and Senior Sister Gong started talking. At this time, the captain of the guard came hurriedly and whispered a few words into Gu Xici's ear.

After listening to this, Gu Xici stopped smiling and said to Leng Qingxin and Senior Sister Gong with a little anger in his voice:

"I'm so sorry. I should have had a good chat with you two, but something unexpected happened in the Demon King's Palace. I'm afraid I've disappointed you two."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I don't know what happened. I am willing to share your worries."

After Senior Sister Gong finished speaking, she pulled Leng Qingxin, who was standing still for a long time. This was a good opportunity to win the favor of the Demon King. How could a good sister not show some performance? She still had to rely on her to pull her along.

"Ah... yes, yes, I am willing to share the worries for His Majesty the Demon King."

Leng Qingxin noticed the hint in Gu Xici's eyes and came back to her senses and added.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you two. Xiao Yue (Captain of the Guard), bring the traitor here. Let's have a thorough trial of him in front of all the demons and the two distinguished guests today."

Gu Xici said to the captain of the guard that everything was going as planned.

The captain of the guard came over with the traitor Pan Tu and his gang.

"Let me go, why did you arrest me?"

Pan Tu walked and cursed, full of momentum.

"Get down on your knees, you traitor."

The captain of the guard kicked the traitor on the knee and made Pan Tu kneel in front of Gu Xici.
