Phoenix Zhiyin

The sleeping hall of the demon god is located on the side of the inner hall, but only a hundred steps away.

After entering the sleeping hall, the demon god first went to take the healing and recovery pills, and waited until his complexion improved a little before he went to the inner hall and sat on the seat beside the Emperor of Heaven.

The Heavenly Emperor watched the demon god's face gradually turn red and the blood on his lips returned to color within a short period of time, and he said in amazement: "It really is a panacea. I don't know which immortal made the medicine so effective. I will also go get some back for emergencies. need."

The demon god waved his hand, "It's just refined from a few common nourishing medicinal materials. It's not a rare thing, and its efficacy is no better than the pills left by the predecessors. I suffered some minor injuries a few days ago. I have been recuperating for the past few days, and my body is already more than half healed. If I didn’t consume too much internal energy today, I wouldn’t need to take these recuperating pills.”

"I said that you are not in good condition today, but I never thought it was because of this." The Heavenly Emperor understood, and snapped his fingers lightly on the table, "The heavens are so peaceful, I wonder who can hurt you?"

"This is related to one thing I want to ask." The demon god gave the Heavenly Emperor a meaningful look.

At this time, two little fairies offered a cup of tea to each of them, and after blessing their bodies, they left in a hurry.The agate beads on the bead curtain collided with each other, and the sound was extraordinarily crisp, clearly reflected in the ears of the Heavenly Emperor.

The demon god pointed to the teacup in front of the Emperor of Heaven with one finger, and casually said: "Yunwu mountain needle tea." After a pause, he added, "clear tea."

"..."

The Emperor of Heaven touched the tip of his nose, smiled a little uncomfortable, and said, "Thank you."

The Heavenly Emperor took a sip from the cup symbolically out of politeness, and then slowly put it down.

The demon god followed the movement of the Emperor of Heaven with the corner of his eyes, and when he saw him put down the cup, he turned his eyes to look forward, and said slowly: "Half a month ago, the Jade Emperor summoned me to go to Zixiao Palace with the three gods Qinglong, Baihu, and Xuanwu. Discuss about the defense of the heavenly realm. Neither I nor Qinglong Shenjun agreed to the conditions proposed by the Jade Emperor for this matter. The Qinglong clan is thin, and it is impossible for me to risk the unknown with the lives of my clansmen. And I also That's why I was injured." The demon god turned his head to look at the thoughtful expression of the Heavenly Emperor, and said without a word, "I think the Lord Heavenly Emperor must know the Jade Emperor's plan, if it is convenient to tell me, it will help me to prepare. The Jade Emperor insists on not saying the reason, but just blindly ordering, how can we make our four families feel at ease?"

The Emperor of Heaven didn't answer his question directly, leaning against the back of the seat, crossed his hands on his lap, and said casually: "Since you didn't agree to the conditions of the Jade Emperor, why do you need to ask me again?"

"..."

The demon god lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

After a long time, the Emperor of Heaven changed his sitting position again, rubbing his fingertips lightly, feeling a little impatient in his heart.Just about to ask, the demon god said:

"The Jade Emperor used the divine killing order left by the four ancient gods."

The Emperor of Heaven raised his eyebrows, "If I remember correctly, according to the historical records of the Heaven Realm, the last god-killing order disappeared 10,000+ years ago."

The demon god closed his eyes, took a sip from his teacup, and then calmed down: "Of course I know that the disappearance of the god-killing order is the gospel of the four gods. But this thing is indeed the ancient god-killing order." , Qinglong Shenjun and I have no power to resist in front of this thing."

The Emperor of Heaven said: "This is strange."

The demon god pursed his lips, and said hesitantly: "In the ancient war between immortals and demons, many things from the fairy world fell into the demon world. The demon world...should also have a god-killing order."

"Oh?" The Heavenly Emperor suddenly became interested when he heard the word Demon Realm, sat upright, and said in a faint voice, "You mean that the Jade Emperor made a deal with the Demon Realm in exchange for a god killing order, which was used to force Do you work?"

The demon god looked at the expression of the Emperor of Heaven, and then listened to his words, and he already guessed a little bit of his thoughts in his heart.The demon god sighed, "I don't mean that. I'm just afraid that someone with a heart will take advantage of this for their own benefit."

The Emperor of Heaven didn't answer, but slowly picked up the teacup, blew away the tea leaves floating on the water, and took a sip.

Suddenly laughed.

"Master Demon God trusts me so much?"

The demon god looked sideways at the Emperor of Heaven, lightly tapped the table with his fingers, and said calmly: "In the fairy world, the Emperor of Heaven is a person with a heart, and he is more trustworthy than those double-faced people."

The Heavenly Emperor raised his eyes to meet the demon god's gaze, "The interests are the same?"

"No." The demon god looked at the emperor and shook his head slowly, "It's the same purpose."

The Emperor of Heaven said without hesitation: "Now that you are bound by the god's killing order, you are looking for me as a breakthrough to find the answer." His voice paused, and he raised his eyebrows and looked at the demon god, "The purpose is the same?"

Hearing this sentence, the demon god's little finger trembled slightly, with a natural expression on his face, "Naturally, there are some things that need not bother the Emperor of Heaven. What's more, I only represent my personal wishes. After all, the feeling of being kept in the dark is always uncomfortable." good."

The Emperor of Heaven laughed at the demon god's words and said, "Then what do the other three gods think?"

The demon god glanced at the Heavenly Emperor lightly, turned his eyes slightly, and did not answer the Heavenly Emperor's question directly, but said: "I think what the Heavenly Emperor does not know is that the four guardian god clans have long been in harmony with each other, and the harmony and stability of the four directions are just illusions. The Azure Dragon Clan The power gradually declined, and the forces that made good friends with it became less and less. Now, we are the only one left." After a pause, the demon god rubbed his clean fingers, narrowed his eyes, and said with a bit of sarcasm in his voice, "Many Immortals are secretly thinking about which clan is more qualified to replace them if the Qinglong clan perishes. Today's Xuanwu and Baihu two gods are even more eager to move, trying to send their subordinate clans to this position. In recent years, the two clans have A lot of effort has been put into pleasing the Jade Emperor. The Suzaku clan has long been extinct, and now we have replaced them. If the Qinglong clan followed in Suzaku's footsteps, this Heavenly Court—”

The demon god shook his head and didn't say any more. There are some things, just click and stop.

The Emperor of Heaven is a smart man, so he naturally knew what the demon god meant when he heard the words.The Heavenly Emperor silently completed the sentence in his heart.

——I'm afraid I might lose my insurance.

The heavens are declining day by day, and under the extravagant and corrupt life, there is a smell of corruption.The struggle for power is intensifying.Up to the gods, down to the servants of the gods, hypocrisy, filled the entire heaven.

If it was placed 10,000+ years ago, even if the guardian gods of the four directions perished, it would not have much impact.It’s just that looking at the heavens now, there are still a few immortals who are tens of thousands of years old. No matter how old the immortals are, they either fell asleep or perished in the great war ten thousand years ago. The few remaining ancient immortals never involved the world , living in seclusion in the depths of the heaven.

On the other hand, the Demon Realm has strict discipline, and its development has become more and more vigorous in the past ten thousand years, and there are ancient demons sitting in the Demon Realm, guarding the peace of the four corners of the Demon Realm.Except for the battle between immortals and demons thousands of years ago that seriously injured both sides, the demon realm is much better than the heaven realm in terms of strength and atmosphere.

The heavens are no longer what they used to be, and only the guardian gods from all directions and a few immortals can compete with the generals of the demon world.However, the internal struggle for power and profit in the heavenly realm caused many great clans to decline and fall.The seemingly prosperous heaven has already become an empty shell, but the demon world still dares not to do anything to the heaven because of the remaining fear of the heaven.

The internal and external troubles in the heavens are no longer a temporary matter, and it may be so thorough as the emperor and the demon gods see it, which is really commendable.

Yao Shen said: "I think the Emperor of Heaven understands what I mean."

"Heavenly, there is the Jade Emperor." The Heavenly Emperor answered these six words concisely, but the meaning could not be more obvious.

"But what the Jade Emperor did this time is undoubtedly deepening the gap between us." The demon god pointed out, "Although I am trying my best to avoid this side, there will always be an insurmountable gap in front of me."

"Really." The Emperor of Heaven pretended not to understand, "You might as well tell me."

The demon god felt a little helpless in his heart, but there was nothing he could do, so he said softly: "I intend to make friends with all the immortals, but there are always a few who refuse to sell my face. Especially Xuanwu Shenjun always doesn't want to see me. Because Xuanwu Shenjun is absent , Our Quartet Guardian Protoss Meeting has not been held for a long time."

The Heavenly Emperor was not in a hurry to answer the demon god's words, he was thinking a lot.The Heavenly Emperor also knew something about the affairs between the four guardian gods of the heavenly world, but he did not expect that the demon god would tell him so much today. It seems that the conditions proposed by the Jade Emperor have forced him to nowhere to retreat .

The demon god didn't see the Heavenly Emperor's answer for a long time, and seeing the Heavenly Emperor's look of wandering in the sky, he couldn't help frowning, and raised his voice: "Master Heavenly Emperor?"

The Heavenly Emperor came back from his thoughts, looked directly at the demon god, and said, "According to the demon god's meaning, perhaps the heavens have been divided into several factions, so should I guess that the demon god's actions are trying to lure me into his gang?"

The demon god loosened his grip on the teacup, and sighed, "I'm just being honest."

The succinct and candid answer has nothing to make the Emperor of Heaven pick out what is wrong.

The Emperor of Heaven held the teacup to his lips, "What you asked just now is actually not a mystery."

The demon god's eyes lit up, and the hand holding the cup suddenly tightened.

The Emperor of Heaven took a sip slowly, and said lightly: "The guards of the heavens are defending, and who they are guarding, I think you can vaguely guess in your heart."

The demon god said: "The devil world?"

The Emperor of Heaven nodded and put down his cup, "Someone came to report that spies from the Demon Realm had infiltrated the Heaven Realm. The Jade Emperor had told me, but in order not to alarm you four patron saints, he did not spread the news to the outside world."

"It seems that the Jade Emperor is still very considerate of us." The demon god's tone was indifferent, and the meaning was unclear.

The Heavenly Emperor didn't care much, and continued: "Since the Jade Emperor called the four of you to discuss the matter of defense and cloth a few days ago, there must be a new development in the matter."

The demon god closed his eyes and did not answer.

The Heavenly Emperor changed the topic, "What makes me doubtful is the conditions that the demon god said about the Jade Emperor. I don't know what kind of conditions can make the demon god so troubled?"

"The Phoenix Clan is only an auspicious beast, so its mana is naturally not as good as that of the extinct Suzaku Clan. What's more, the Phoenix Clan is not involved in world affairs and is used to being lazy. Except for the elders who hold important positions in the clan and the few martial idiots who practice diligently, the rest of the clan They can only protect themselves. For tens of thousands of years, except for the fact that the demon god of the Phoenix clan must take the position of Suzaku, the Phoenix has no connection with the guardian gods of the four directions, and no one has classified the Phoenix clan as the guardian gods, but this time... ..." The demon god let out a long sigh, "It's just that this time, the god killing order is not only for me and Qinglong Shenjun, but also... my whole Phoenix clan!"

Heavenly Emperor's heart skipped a beat, and a clue flashed through his mind, but it was so fast that people couldn't grasp it. He always felt that he had seen such a familiar plot before, but he couldn't remember it anymore.

The demon god smiled wryly and said: "The Phoenix family is all in the heavens now, so they should contribute to the heavens. But if we want the Phoenix family to guard the heavens and resist foreign enemies, it will undoubtedly let my people die in vain. How can I bear to see it?" Such a situation."

He looked a little excited.

The Heavenly Emperor had a panoramic view of the demon god's expression, and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.

For a moment, needles could be heard in the hall.

When the demon god's breathing gradually stabilized and his mood calmed down a little, the Heavenly Emperor tentatively said, "There must be a reason for the Jade Emperor to do this. The news has not been confirmed, and the Jade Emperor is just taking precautions. The demon god doesn't have to be like this." concern."

The demon god took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said bluntly: "The news about the Jade Emperor is so groundless. The incident is so sudden and secret this time, the Heavenly Emperor is not worried? Or..." The demon god opened his eyes , said word by word, "The Emperor of Heaven doesn't believe this news at all?"

The deepest thoughts were poked by the demon god's words, and the Heavenly Emperor could only secretly sigh in his heart.

The Heavenly Emperor looked calm, "Of course I believe what the Jade Emperor said. Since he summoned you to discuss the matter of the Ministry of Defense, maybe things have changed. But the Jade Emperor has never summoned me except for the first time to tell me about it. It means that things are still within the control of the Jade Emperor, so why should I worry about it? I’m asking for trouble.”

"You are really good friends, the Emperor of Heaven understands him so well." Hearing the Emperor's avoidance of the important, the demon god chuckled, rubbing the rim of the cup with his fingertips, and murmured, "Yes, why should I ask for trouble."

The Emperor of Heaven pulled the topic away without any trace, "I and the Jade Emperor were just friends when we were children, but now we are much strangers."

The demon god smiled, but there was a bit of bitterness in it, "Although I have many friends, none of them can become a confidant with me. I envy you. Although you don't have many friends, you are all close friends."

The words of the demon god made the emperor's mind condense, and a thought that was buried deep in his heart finally broke through the ground.

The Emperor of Heaven smiled slightly, and said bluntly: "You and I hit it off right away, and I want to become best friends with you. I don't know what the demon god thinks?" The palm of his hand holding the armrest of the seat was full of sweat.

The astonished expression of the demon god flashed by, and after a moment of silence, he smiled absent-mindedly: "Why don't you become sworn brothers?"

As soon as the words came out, the demon god himself was also stunned.

On the contrary, the Emperor of Heaven breathed a sigh of relief, gradually loosened his grip on the seat, and said with a smile: "It is my blessing to have such a good friend as the demon god."

The initial astonishment passed, and the demon god also found his own language, curling the corners of his lips, "My honor."

Four eyes facing each other.

The two strong men looked into the depths of each other's black eyes, and their eyes were entangled.

There was another moment of silence.

The demon god turned his gaze and called the fairy servant outside the door to prepare the wine.

"Isn't the demon god unwell?" The Heavenly Emperor stroked the cup gently, "It's better to replace wine with tea."

"It's okay." The demon god waved his hand, "It's just an overdraft of internal energy. After taking the medicine, it's mostly healed."

"I was overthinking it."

As soon as the Emperor of Heaven finished speaking, a little fairy walked in and brought two small cups of wine, and removed the two cups of tea from the table.

The line of sight splits at the touch of a button.

The demon god was the first to stand up with the wine, arching his hands slightly.

The Emperor of Heaven also took a glass of wine and stood up.The wine was clear and mellow, and he could clearly see his own figure reflected in it.

"Jiuyuan." The Heavenly Emperor smiled, put the wine glass to his lips, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Feng Yu." The demon god smiled back, and immediately raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
