Danzun War God

Chapter 205 Yuan Hong Launches an Attack

Upon hearing this, Yue Ling'er nodded solemnly, completely trusting Han Qi's words, and then said, "Then can we go back now? I want to plant the seed of the Tree of Life as soon as possible."

Han Qi nodded and said, "Going back is fine, but since we're here, I think we should explore further and see if there are any other good things."

Immediately, Yue Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she wholeheartedly agreed. The two immediately began another search, and after confirming that nothing had been missed, they prepared to return.

Han Qi suddenly said with a tense expression, "Yue Ling'er, I've discovered a serious problem."

Seeing Han Qi's expression, Yue Ling'er's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked, "What's the problem?"

Han Qi then slowly said, "How are we going to get out? I feel like we've fallen into a well."

Yue Ling'er immediately put on a bitter face and said, "Then what do we do? Are we going to be trapped here?"

Seeing Yue Ling'er's discomfiture, Han Qi was secretly delighted. He then said with a mischievous grin, "Even if we're stuck here, we won't be bored, right?"

Seeing Han Qi's expression, Yue Ling'er realized she had been tricked by him and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "I knew you couldn't say anything decent. You're never serious. Humph! I'm ignoring you."

Han Qi shook his head helplessly and said, "Do you believe I'll leave you here all alone?"

Yue Ling'er immediately backed down, smiling broadly as she said, "Brother Qi, I misspoke. Please don't hold it against me." But in her heart, she was gritting her teeth, seething with hatred.

Han Qi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's go!"

Han Qi then released his primordial spirit power, causing golden runes to appear on the ground. These runes were very similar to those in Yue Ling'er's bedroom. Using the same method, Han Qi easily broke through the formation. Some people were swept into the formation, and when they reappeared, the two were back in Yue Ling'er's bedroom.

As soon as they came out, Yue Ling'er forgot about settling scores with Han Qi and said impatiently, "Let's go find the mage with the bloodline of the Demon Ancestor."

Yue Ling'er already knew that Tang Siyu was the mage whose Fire Phoenix bloodline had awakened, and she also understood the relationship between Tang Siyu and Han Qi. Therefore, she turned to Han Qi for help.

Joking aside, Han Qi remained meticulous when it came to serious matters. At this moment, Han Qi also wanted to know whether this small square stone was indeed a seed of the Tree of Life, because the previous answers were just speculations. Whether they had ever seen the seed of the Tree of Life was merely based on their guesses.

The two immediately covered the formation again, opened the bedroom door, and realized that a day and a night had passed, and it was now morning.

The palace maids and guards outside the door looked at Han Qi differently. A man and a woman alone in a room for a day and a night made people wonder what they had done during that time.

When the two opened the door to the palace, they saw a group of people standing outside.

"The Demon King is actually seducing a wild man! How thirsty are you?" A deep voice rang out.

Han Qi immediately recognized the voice as that of General Yuan, who had appeared yesterday, and his eyes turned cold as he glared at General Yuan.

"General Yuan, please watch your words!" Upon hearing this, Yue Ling'er was even more furious, speaking with an air of regal authority.

"My self-respect? I've been pursuing you for so many years, and you still wouldn't agree. So you've been keeping a gigolo. If I'm not mistaken, this gigolo is even human. Colluding with outsiders deserves to be punished." General Yuan spoke with righteous indignation, wishing everyone could hear him.

"How dare you!" Yue Ling'er trembled with rage, her eyes almost spitting fire as she roared.

"I'm being presumptuous? Are you getting angry because I hit the nail on the head? If you don't want to be punished by the stewards, you can either give up the Demon King's position or agree to marry this general." General Yuan said with a mocking expression, completely disregarding the Demon King.

At this moment, one of General Yuan's followers also began to point and whisper about the Demon King, their eyes filled with disdain.

Han Qi patted Yue Ling'er's shoulder, signaling her to calm down and let him handle things. Then, Han Qi stepped out the door, his imposing aura spreading outwards, and said sternly, "Yuan Hong, who gave you the audacity to spout nonsense here? This is disobedience, and insubordination is a capital offense. Don't say that I have nothing to do with the Demon King; even if I did, it's none of your business to make a fuss here."

"Hey! Pretty boy, let me tell you, the Demon Queen is mine. Even though you beat me to it, I don't mind. But since I've run into you today, you're not going to live. Brothers! Attack!" Yuan Hong gritted his teeth in hatred. He had been eyeing the Demon Queen for years, never daring to touch her, thinking that one day he would surely win her over. He never expected that this greenhorn who had only been here for two days would beat him to it. Luckily, he arrived in time, or he would still be in the dark.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong's men immediately surrounded Han Qi menacingly, wanting to vent all their resentment on him.

"Stop! I'd like to see who dares to move! This is the Holy Palace! How dare you run wild here? Where are the Holy Palace knights?" the Demon King shouted domineeringly.

In an instant, twelve people dressed in golden armor, wielding spears, riding demonic beasts, and exuding an imposing aura appeared all around the crowd.

As soon as the twelve knights appeared, Yuan Hong's momentum immediately weakened. He was horrified. Legend had it that the Demon King had twelve immortal knights by his side. He had always thought it was just a legend, but he never expected to encounter them today. However, he dared not challenge the twelve immortal knights' combat power. Now he was in a dilemma.

The Demon King surveyed the crowd with an imposing aura, his red lips parted slightly, and he slowly said, "Yuan Hong, lay down your weapons, and I will forgive and forget."

Yuan Hong wasn't stupid. Seeing that the Demon King had offered a way out, he quickly seized the opportunity. He was the first to throw down his weapon, kneel on one knee, and say regretfully, "Thank you for your mercy, Demon King. I was foolish today. From now on, I will be loyal to the Demon King and do my best to protect the Demon Realm!"

Seeing that their leader had already laid down his weapons, the group knew that these twelve undead knights were not to be trifled with. So they all dropped their weapons, knelt on one knee, and said in unison, "Loyal to the Demon King, guard the Demon Realm!"

The Demon King breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still spoke with an air of dominance: "Very well. However, you mentioned earlier that I will not give you a single one of those eight hundred demon beasts. I order you all to return to the Wilderness Realm immediately. Without my orders, you are not to leave your posts. Anyone who disobeys will be executed! You'd better watch yourselves."

After saying this, the Demon King turned and left. Yuan Hong and the others shouted in unison, "Your subordinate obeys!"

With the departure of the Demon King, the Twelve Undead Knights also disappeared, but Yuan Hong and his companions all had livid faces and were deeply dissatisfied.
