Chapter 195

The belly of Tianluo Mountain was filled with demons. There were so many demons flying and running. After entering, it was like throwing sand into the sea. Forget about filling it up, they gathered into four square formations and adorned the belly of the mountain. They were only four chess pieces on a chessboard.

The most vast part of the belly of the mountain was cleared out. Kun Shen returned to his original form and floated above the lake in the north. Yu Zaoyun was in the south. He was extremely small and led a hundred beasts. The Battle Corpse Ghost King was in the west, leading his troops.

Qing Xiong and Hongjun walked past the demons. Nearly three hundred thousand birds, beasts, and zombies were in this huge underground cave. It was silent.

The exorcists came to the back of the demons. Li Jinglong raised his hand and everyone stopped moving.

Hongjun followed Qing Xiong and walked to the center of the empty ground. Suddenly, he turned back and looked at Li Jinglong in the distance. They looked at each other across the demons. At that moment, Li Jinglong suddenly felt that Hongjun had become very unfamiliar.

"Go to the center and face Kun Shen in the north." As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Xiong turned into a golden-winged roc and flew towards the birds. Thousands of birds stood in a forest.

Hongjun stopped and looked at Li Jinglong from afar.

When he turned back for the first time, Li Jinglong understood what he meant.

There were thousands of demons, but Hongjun felt lonely. However, at this time, Li Jinglong could not go up. Qing Xiong had made it very clear that they were exorcists and were only invited to "observe the ceremony". He could not go up, so he could only look at Hongjun quietly.

Hongjun simply stopped and looked at Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong was helpless. Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly thought of something and laughed.

"Give it to me." Li Jinglong whispered in Chen Feng's ear. Then, he took the little Phoenix and walked naturally to Hongjun. Hongjun had been waiting for him until he brought the Phoenix to Hongjun's side. There was a commotion among the demons, but because the Phoenix was gently held by Li Jinglong, no demons expressed any objections.

"Let's begin." Hongjun said.

"Exorcists can't come here." Kun Shen said in a low voice.

"I said, let's begin." Hongjun replied. "He's responsible for guarding Gui Lai Lai, and Lai Lai Lai.

"Let's begin." Corpse Ghost King's voice echoed throughout the empty cave.

Li Jinglong glanced at the Battle Corpse Ghost King. The demons were incomparably quiet. Finally, Kun Shen said, "Then let's begin. Li Jinglong, you're the only mortal who stood beside the Demon King when the Holy Land of the Demons was built. I hope you'll remember this."

Li Jinglong was about to agree when he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Built? How? Were they going to use magic to build a Holy Land? Without waiting for him to ask, Hongjun's face was also full of doubts. Then, Kun Shen's body emitted a blue light.

The Golden-Winged Roc suddenly flapped its wings and let out a long cry.

The Battle Corpse Ghost King roared angrily, red flames flew out of its body. Yu Zaoyun followed up with a roar!

Then, all the demons in the entire cave gathered their magic power at the same time. In the ravines on the ground, energy flowed rapidly. The energy of the earth veins flowed into the ground. Raging waves rolled up from the lake and covered the ground in an instant. The flowing water crisscrossed, forming a grand array of several miles in radius!

All the exorcists were shocked.

In the blue light, Yuan Kun's primordial spirit left his body and whispered a strange incantation. It was as if only his throat vibrated and spoke. The Carp Demon was instantly awakened and hurriedly ran out.

The blue light covered the entire cave. The Demon King's power had reached its peak. The array was erected and began to rotate. The four Demon Kings' magic power surged into the array and filled it up. A strange rune flashed in the center.

"Hongjun!" Qing Xiong shouted, "Rainbow Divine Light!"

Hong Jun came back to his senses. He activated the Five-colored Divine Light and pushed it towards the magic array with both hands. The divine light curled around and shot into the center of the magic array. In an instant, all of his spiritual power was sucked out. The moment the Five-colored Divine Light filled the empty space in the center of the magic array, the entire magic array shone brightly. The originally illusory phoenix rune with wings spread out at the core of the magic array disappeared with a buzz. Instead, it was replaced by a glowing green peacock rune!

Li Jinglong frowned deeply. In the next moment, the array shattered and turned into fine powder. The demons roared angrily at the same time. The Battle Corpse Ghosts shook the ground with their weapons.

The array covered the entire sky above the cave and spread out into lines, outlining a huge palace. The white marble foundation appeared first. Then, it slowly descended and the entire palace was revealed —

Thousands of miles away, on the peak of Mount Taihang, the setting sun shone on the mountains. The entire Dazzling Gold Palace slowly disappeared under the sunlight. The peak of Mount Yu was flat.

In the Tian Luo Mountain of the Shu Lands, the Dazzling Gold Palace shone brightly and slowly descended from a high altitude. When the majestic palace appeared, even the exorcists were stunned. The demon kings had actually moved the entire Dazzling Gold Palace over!

The hundreds of thousands of monsters in the belly of the mountain lowered their heads at the same time, making whimpering sounds. Hong Jun and Li Jinglong had already forgotten everything else. They watched the huge palace's cornerstone descend. In the loud noise, the parasol tree leaves in the hall flew into the sky. The baby phoenix in Li Jinglong's hand suddenly widened its eyes. It spread its wings and flew into the Dazzling Gold Palace in front of it.

Then, a hundred birds flew in after the baby phoenix. The scene was magnificent. Hongjun was excited. His scalp tingled as he slowly walked towards the Dazzling Gold Palace. Every brick, tile, wood, and even the Phoenix totem on the main door was so familiar. But when it appeared here, Hongjun felt that it was very unfamiliar.

That kind of distant feeling of homesickness made him vaguely feel like he was in a dream.

Immediately, Qing Xiong let out a cry. The white marble bricks in the Dazzling Gold Palace rose and formed a huge floating bridge in the air. The bricks were carved with flying runes and started to absorb the energy of the ley lines. They crisscrossed and connected the vast space in the belly of Mount Tianluo and the cave at the entrance.

Qing Xiong and Yuan Kun transformed into their human forms. Yu Zaoyun jumped onto Hongjun's shoulder. They came in front of Hongjun and made way for him. Qing Xiong said in a deep voice.

"Please."

The door of the Dazzling Gold Palace opened with a golden light. Hongjun and Li Jinglong walked in slowly. The Demon Kings followed behind them. The moment they entered the main hall of the Dazzling Gold Palace, Hongjun faced the throne in the middle. He vaguely saw the Chong Ming of the past.

Behind them, the Demon Kings were the first to kneel. Only Li Jinglong was beside them.

He turned to look at Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong let go of his hand and gestured for him to go up. He then walked to the side of the throne. Hongjun stood in front of the throne and turned around.

On the throne in the middle, Chong Ming's Phoenix rune flashed. The runes on the three thrones disappeared and rearranged themselves. The rune in the middle turned into a flying peacock. It was vivid and lifelike, surrounded by a circle of flames.

"Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"

Qing Xiong was the first to kneel on one knee. Instantly, the Demon Kings shouted "Long live His Majesty". From the inside of the hall to the outside, the Demon Kings knelt. The Carp Demon stood at the entrance of the hall with a group of exorcists. He had mixed feelings.

"How do you feel?" Qiu Yongsi teased.

The Carp Demon shook his head blankly. Everyone had mixed feelings.

Hongjun was silent for a moment, then said, "You may rise."

The four Demon Kings stood in front of Hongjun. Qing Xiong was one of the Three Sages of the Dazzling Gold Palace. One of the thrones belonged to him. However, he did not sit beside Hongjun. Instead, he led the Bird Clan to pledge their loyalty to Hongjun.

The Demon Kings seemed to be waiting for Hongjun to speak. Hongjun was silent for a long time. He looked at Li Jinglong again and said in a low voice,

"Everyone … You've worked hard along the way. I hope this will be our eternal home."

The Demon Kings bowed again. Qing Xiong frowned deeply. He unintentionally exchanged glances with Li Jinglong. Both of them seemed to have reached some kind of secret confrontation with their eyes. Was he waiting for Hongjun to speak and hint that the Demon Race would take back China one day?

However, the fact that Li Jinglong was standing here was a clear signal.

Therefore, Qing Xiong did not wait any longer. He did not force Hongjun to speak. He knew that if he did not speak, the scene would fall into an unsolvable silence. He turned around and said to the Demon Kings, "From today onwards, each clan will be divided into districts in the Sacred Ground. The districts will be built on their own, with the Dazzling Gold Palace as the center."

The Demon Kings' subordinates bowed and left. Hongjun even had an impression of many of them. He had seen them when he fought against An Lushan. They must have been subdued by the four Demon Kings. Then, the four Demon Kings stayed in the hall. They seemed to be waiting for Hongjun's orders.

Hongjun glanced at them and said, "Let's leave it at that for now."

Therefore, the Demon Kings also left, leaving Hongjun and the exorcists behind. If it were anyone else, this ascension would have been spectacular. However, Qing Xiong actually informed Hongjun of this at the last minute. Moreover, the Demon Race did not have too many complicated formalities. After accepting the allegiance of the four clans, they went about their own business and went to build their homes.

There were even cheers coming from outside. It seemed like Yu Zaoyun was announcing something and received the unanimous support of his subordinates. Yu Zaoyun had always done things his own way. The beasts under his command were also very casual. When he heard this, Hongjun's nervous mood eased a little.

"Father!" Chen Feng came up and shouted at Li Jinglong and Hongjun. For a moment, no one knew who he was calling. He said, "Can you take me to play with the tiger?"

"Not now," Li Jinglong answered. "Later, your mother's emotions will fluctuate too much. Let her calm down."

Hongjun burst out laughing. His nervousness finally disappeared. Qiu Yongsi gave Li Jinglong a look. Li Jinglong knew that he had something to discuss. He moved out and said to Hongjun, "Come out and find us later."

Hongjun nodded and patted the armrest, indicating for Chen Feng to come over. Chen Feng then went to the throne and let Hongjun carry him. This was the first time in Hong Jun's life that he was seriously sitting on the throne of the Dazzling Golden Palace. He held Chen Feng in his arms and the two of them looked out. There were many parasol trees and it was empty. It was as if he could see through Halcyon's eyes and see what he saw.

The young phoenix jumped into the hall. Chen Feng cried out. At that moment, Hongjun almost thought that it would come towards him. However, the young phoenix only looked around before spreading its wings and flying out.

Chen Feng struggled to get down and ran out of the hall to chase after the young Phoenix. At this moment, Qing Xiong brushed past him and entered the hall.

Hongjun looked up at Qing Xiong. There was still a faint uneasiness in his eyes.

"When you were young, you were just like him," Qing Xiong said casually. "You couldn't sit still for even a moment."

Hongjun didn't say anything. He just looked at Qing Xiong quietly. He suddenly felt that Qing Xiong still loved him, just like Chong Ming. Otherwise, he could have spoken up for him in front of the demons today and ostracized the group of exorcists. No matter what, he acknowledged Hongjun's position. He didn't even move to sit on the throne directly. This acknowledgment was equivalent to successfully establishing Hongjun's authority.

At this moment, Qing Xiong slowly walked up and turned to sit on the throne of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird beside Hongjun.

"Even longer ago, your father and Big Brother were both here." After Qing Xiong sat down, he bowed slightly. His ten fingers pressed together as he looked out of the hall. He said, "The three of us would occasionally sit like this and accept their worship."

"Why didn't you come up just now?" Hongjun asked.

Qing Xiong smiled and said, "This will be your demon race, and also your divine land. Why would an old man like me come up here to join in the fun?"

Hongjun said in a low voice, "I won't live as long as you guys."

"A few decades is enough to do a lot of things," Qing Xiong said in a daze. "The key is whether you want to do it or not."

Hongjun was silent for a moment. Finally, he said, "Qing Xiong, you can be the Demon King. I can't do it. I don't even know who they are. I don't know how to … lead them. I don't think the demon race will have a better life under my rule. I don't have this ambition. "

"Chong Ming chose you," Qing Xiong said lightly. "Fox King and Ghost King also acknowledge you."

"What about you?" Hongjun said.

Qing Xiong didn't answer.

Hongjun suddenly said, "To you, is realizing the great plan of the demon race's revival more important, or am I more important?"

This time, Qing Xiong didn't hesitate. He said bluntly, "Of course it's you."

Hongjun turned to look at Qing Xiong. Qing Xiong didn't look at him. He just looked out of the hall in a daze.

"Hongjun," Qing Xiong said, "I won't stay here for too long."

Hongjun, "…"

Qing Xiong answered, "After three hundred and fifty years, I will be reincarnated as a human."

Hongjun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There are still three hundred years."

Qing Xiong said leisurely, "As a Golden-Winged Great Peng, it's very inconceivable that you will be reincarnated as a human."

Hongjun said in a low voice, "Is it a tribulation?"

A trace of confusion appeared in Qing Xiong's eyes. In the end, he said, "To me, perhaps it is, perhaps it is my reward for wanting to expel the human race and let the demon race retake control of the divine continent."

Hongjun said, "You didn't have to do this in the first place …"

"What do you know?" Qing Xiong suddenly turned his head and looked at Hongjun.

Hongjun's voice came to an abrupt halt. Qing Xiong said again, "You haven't even seen the entire world. You've only been to a few places. You don't know how the demon race lives. You just like to be with your human companions every day, mingling in the mortal world! "

Hongjun, "…"

"This mortal world is the mortal world you like." Qing Xiong said, "Just because you are the son of Dazzling Gold Palace, the son of Kong Xuan, so many people have stepped forward to pave the way for you. Have you ever thought about the future of the demon race? "

Hongjun suddenly remembered that Qing Xiong was never in Dazzling Gold Palace in the past. He would only come to see him a few times a year for a short period of time. Where was he during those times?

"Where did you go when you weren't in Dazzling Gold Palace?" Hongjun asked.

"I'm thinking of a way," Qing Xiong said, "to let the demon race in the darkness return to the light."

Hongjun suddenly said, "Since Chong Ming chose me, he must have his reasons."

Qing Xiong pondered for a moment and finally said, "The Ghost King said the same thing."

Hongjun looked at Qing Xiong quietly. Qing Xiong said, "Chong Ming really likes you. Maybe it's just because he likes you. But your kindness is also a part of it. "

Hongjun knew that if he didn't make things clear today, he might not be able to sit and talk with Qing Xiong like this in the future.

"I was thinking just now." Hongjun was silent for a moment and then said, "There are two paths. First, I'll give you the position of Demon King. You'll lead them. But from now on, maybe I'll just be an exorcist. In the end, we'll have to fight each other. "

Qing Xiong's face was expressionless.

"Second, let me sit here and listen to me." Hongjun said, "I won't start a war with the human race. At least in the years I'm alive, the demon race and the human race won't kill each other."

"Li Jinglong taught you?" Qing Xiong asked.

Hongjun shook his head and said, "It's my opinion."

"Now that I think about it, it was my mistake to let you go into the mortal world to gain experience." Qing Xiong sighed.

"Don't we have a chance to coexist with the human race?" Hongjun said in a low voice, "Everything will never be the same as before, Qing Xiong."

"No," Qing Xiong said.

Hongjun sometimes didn't understand why Qing Xiong was so stubborn.
