The Li Family Residence.
Li Tian was handling family affairs in his study when suddenly his heart clenched violently, and the demonic energy within his body instantly froze!
"puff!"
He spat out a mouthful of tea, clutched his chest, and turned deathly pale.
"Big brother?"
"what happened to you?"
Bai Ming, who was standing nearby, quickly helped him up.
Li Tian's eyes were filled with horror, and his voice was hoarse: "Stone City...a great demon has descended..."
This demonic energy is clearly the bloodline suppression of the superior sea race!
*
Outside the pub.
The Minotaur, leading his patrol, arrived once again, looking menacing.
"We must find that human this time!"
He received a tip that suspicious sea creatures seemed to still be hiding in the tavern.
boom!
The minotaur kicked open the back door of the tavern.
"Listen up, you demon inside! Patrol team, search for suspects..."
Halfway through his sentence, the minotaur's large, bell-like eyes met a pair of deep, abyss-like blue pupils.
Lu Yuguan stood there quietly.
His body was surrounded by surging demonic energy, rising and falling like a dark tide, and the fins behind his ears fluttered slightly, swirling with eerie light.
He just stood there, doing nothing.
thump!
thump!
The patrolmen behind the Minotaur all collapsed to their knees, unable to even lift their heads.
That's the instinctive fear of facing a higher-level monster!
The Minotaur was in the late Nascent Soul stage and could barely stand, but his hand holding the spiked club was trembling violently.
The other side is like a terrifying sea of demons!
"you……"
"You are not...?"
The minotaur was filled with fear.
Lu Yuguan glanced at him indifferently, with a look of utter disdain as if he were looking down on an ant.
He gently raised his hand, and the demonic energy stirred, emitting a low whistling sound.
"roll."
A single word, like a thunderclap, exploded in the Minotaur's ears!
"puff!--"
The minotaur could no longer hold on, and he knelt on one knee, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He was horrified to discover that his late-stage Nascent Soul demonic energy was utterly powerless against this sea race lord!
Bloodline suppression!
It's definitely the bloodline suppression of a superior sea race!
"I'm so sorry, sir! I've offended you!"
The minotaur banged his head on the ground, his voice trembling, "We're leaving! We're leaving!"
He didn't even bother to pick up the spiked club, and scrambled away from the tavern.
The patrolmen were terrified and scrambled to keep up, wishing they had more legs.
The entrance area became quiet instantly.
Lu Yuguan slowly withdrew his demonic energy.
"hiss……"
"Isn't this demonic shark's Nascent Soul a bit too strong?"
Lu Yuguan felt much more at ease after sending the Minotaur away.
But he didn't forget his main task.
Go to the temple to repair the spiritual source, then return to Longhua Kingdom to find the ancestor and go to the immortal realm.
There isn't much time left.
Only five days left.
"I need to go to the temple as soon as possible," Lu Yu thought to herself.
However, before he could even set off, his distinguished guest arrived at his door on his own.
the next day.
The tavern was just about to open for business.
A magnificent carriage pulled by four Nightmare Beasts was already parked at the entrance.
"Isn't that the city lord's carriage?"
"It really is!"
"Good heavens, is the city lord here for a drink too?"
"..."
Hiss stood at the door, its tail trembling with fear, while the little sheep huddled behind the door in terror.
"Come on boss!"
We believe in you!
Lu Yuguan had no choice but to stand at the door to greet them himself.
Roar……
The carriage stopped.
Li Tian was the first to come down, and stood respectfully to the side.
Then, a short figure wearing a cloak with dark gold patterns slowly strolled down.
Although the cloak and hood covered most of his face, the imposing aura of the city lord made Lu Yuguan's nerves tense.
Lu Yuguan remained outwardly calm, but his demonic nascent soul was quietly circulating within him, and pure demonic energy permeated his entire body.
He stepped forward and nodded slightly: "Lord of the City, it is an honor to have you here. I am sorry for not welcoming you sooner."
The rabbit demon took off its hat, revealing its furry face. It sized up Lu Yuguan, and its pupils contracted almost imperceptibly when it sensed the deep demonic energy.
"The boss is very good at managing things!"
“Your little tavern is now the liveliest place in Stone City; even I, the city lord, have heard about it.”
Lu Yuguan smiled and said, "You flatter me, City Lord."
The rabbit demon was no pushover. He quickly changed the subject: "Boss, you are a noble sea creature with an extraordinary status. May I ask what important matter brings you to my remote stone city?"
coming.
Lu Yuguan's mind raced, but his face remained calm and composed.
He adjusted his non-existent cuffs and said casually, "It's nothing important, it's just that I'm a free spirit and I like to travel around."
"I, a mermaid, am passing through this place and find it interesting, so I'll stay a few more days."
That's a vague statement, but it doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it.
But given his identity as a member of the sea tribe and his Nascent Soul stage cultivation, it seemed particularly odd.
Rabbit Demon's heart skipped a beat.
make a sightseeing tour?
What a liar!
The Ocean Demons are so proud; what scenery could they possibly have in a remote and impoverished place like Stone City?
Will you pass through this place again?
Did you come here from the endless sea of demons?
The more the rabbit demon thought about it, the more certain he became of his guess—
This sea creature...
He's definitely a special envoy sent by the Demon Realm headquarters to conduct a covert investigation!
How powerful must the sea creatures be to dare to run around alone when they are only at the Nascent Soul stage?
The rabbit demon's smile widened: "I see, sir, you have quite the refined taste!"
"I wonder which parts of Stone City you would like to visit next, sir? I can arrange a guide."
Lu Yuguan's heart moved.
He pretended to ponder, then casually said, "I've heard there's an ancient temple in the city that's quite charming. I'd like to go and pay my respects."
The rabbit demon's ears twitched.
temple?
A suspicion arose in its heart, but it did not show it on its face:
"Your timing is perfect, sir."
"That temple is not open to the public on ordinary days. Only during grand ceremonies will the token left behind by Lord Red Demon be brought out for all demons to admire."
"And Lord Red Devil's procession will pass through Stone City in two days."
Lu Yuguan's eyes brightened slightly, and he continued the conversation: "Lord Red Demon's achievements are unparalleled, and his might shakes the Demon Realm. I, the merman, have long admired him."
He looked at the rabbit demon and said gently, "I wonder if I, the merman, will have the honor of seeing the token up close at the ceremony?"
Rabbit Demon's heart skipped a beat.
Respect for the Red Devils?
The Sea Clan and the Crimson Demons have a long-standing feud, a fact known to all the demons!
What the hell is this envoy up to?
Destroying the keepsake?
Disrupting the ceremony?
The rabbit demon broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
But it dared not question him directly, after all, the other party was a sea creature suspected to be a special envoy from headquarters.
"Of course!"
"It is an honor for our city that you have graced us with your presence, sir."
"We will definitely arrange the best seat for you at that time."
Lu Yuguan's face lit up with joy: "Then thank you in advance, City Lord!"
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Rabbit Demon, citing busy official duties, left with Li Tian.
As soon as they stepped out of the tavern, Rabbit Demon's face immediately darkened.
It looked at Li Tian and whispered, "Send someone to keep an eye on this place. Report on every move this sea creature makes immediately!"
"Yes!"
Li Tian bowed and accepted the order.
The rabbit demon leaned back in the carriage seat, its nose twitching incessantly. "What does it mean that headquarters suddenly sent a sea creature?"
