After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

Not long after, they finally arrived at the vicinity of the palace.

Completely different from the palace they had imagined in their minds, the building that came into view was eerie and dark, emanating a strange aura.

If this were a horror movie, this building would completely fit the description of a haunted house. It is the type of place where once you step in, you are doomed and there is no way back.

Oh no, calling it a haunted house is an understatement, it literally looks like the underworld.

Gu Qingze was deeply shocked and couldn't help but think so in his heart.

Chu Lingxiao on the side was only slightly surprised, not as imaginative as Qingze.

In front of the palace gate stood two neat and orderly rows of monster guards, all of them with serious expressions and majestic demeanor.

Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao got out of the car and slowly walked into the palace under the guidance of the guards.

The scene inside the hall is completely different from that outside. The hall is spacious and bright, with gorgeous decorations everywhere, demonstrating the king's majesty.

However, the piles of corpses, ferocious monster heads, and human heads embedded in the wall seemed extremely inconsistent with the entire gorgeous decoration.

They walked slowly along the corridor and met a woman who was walking in the opposite direction from them.

The woman was walking normally, but when she saw them being led by the guards, she lowered her head again.

The woman passed by them quickly, and although it was only a brief moment, Gu Qingze, who was always good at observation, still captured her face accurately.

For some reason, the woman's face reminded him of Ling Xiao, but she was only three-quarters similar to Ling Xiao. The woman's face was softer in comparison.

Gu Qingze found it a little strange, but he didn't think too much about it. After all, there are so many people in the world, and the probability of meeting someone with a similar face is not completely zero.

He and Chu Lingxiao continued to follow the guards forward and stepped into an extremely magnificent hall.

All around the hall, all kinds of rare treasures sparkle brightly, making the entire space look extremely luxurious.

There is a huge throne in the center of the hall. The throne is totally inconsistent with the temperament of the entire hall and seems a bit too monotonous. However, it blends in with the surroundings perfectly without any abrupt feeling.

Sitting on the throne was an extraordinarily young man. There was no white in his eyes at all, and deep black pupils occupied his entire eyes. His face was extraordinarily handsome, yet revealed an evil aura.

He was wearing a black robe embroidered with intricate and mysterious golden patterns. He crossed his legs and put his feet up, sitting in a free and unrestrained manner.

At this moment, the man was looking at them with boredom, and his whole body exuded the aura of "extreme boredom".

Gu Qingze was slightly suppressed by his invisible aura, but he still observed something with his peripheral vision.

On the man's skin, which was as pale as paper and looked like a dead person, oh no, to be exact, where his collarbone extended, there was a mark that looked like a black rose pattern, like a tattoo.

But Gu Qingze was certain that this was not a tattoo. He had seen it in the Qingyun Sect's Scripture Library. This was a blood contract.

Usually, this contract can only be made between people who are in love with each other. Once it comes into effect, both parties to the contract will pay a very heavy price.

This means that the demon king has a beloved.

Gu Qingze took note of this information carefully, although he didn't know if it would be useful.

Chu Lingxiao also lowered his head slightly like him, and he also felt the pressure coming from the Demon King.

This was not released intentionally by the Demon King. If so, it would not be just to the extent of making people lose face.

But this is also a very normal situation, as the Demon King has reached the realm of demigod.

What is a demigod?

The Demon King's cultivation has reached the highest level. As long as he has enough understanding and can find the connection with the fairyland, or find the aura left behind by other gods before they became gods and complete the connection, he can become a god.

Therefore, at this level, even if the Demon King is now seriously injured as a result of the great war between demons and monsters, and even if he has not deliberately released his pressure, he can still achieve the state of being awe-inspiring without being angry.

Chu Lingxiao adapted well to this, but he felt a little uncomfortable with the posture of half-lowering his head for a long time.

Why was the demon king observing them all the time? And the observation seemed endless. Now he and Qingze should wait for the demon king to speak first before they could express their request.

The demon king looked at them for a long time before he looked away.

He gently raised his hand, signaling the guards to step back, then slowly stood up and walked down from the throne. Every step seemed so calm and unhurried, as if the rhythm of the whole world was adjusting to his pace.

"You are human."

His voice was deep and magnetic, with a majesty that could not be ignored.

When he said this, there was no pause or hesitation. His words were not a question, but simply a statement of an indisputable fact.

Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao were not too surprised to hear this. They had long expected that the breath-holding pills they took and the specially faked monster aura would be exposed in front of the Demon King.

So they nodded in acknowledgment.

The demon king came closer to them, and suddenly he seemed to see something interesting, and his original lack of interest disappeared in an instant.

His knuckles trembled slightly, and Chu Lingxiao was forced to raise his head and look directly at him.

"you...."

The demon king's eyes widened. He would never forget that face until his death.

He seemed to have thought of something and laughed wildly. His laughter echoed throughout the entire palace, but there was a hint of desolation and sadness in his laughter.

There was no mistake, absolutely no mistake, his soul told him, it was indeed as he thought, it was her child with that human!

After laughing, a look of madness appeared on the demon king's face, and an emotion called jealousy quickly occupied his mind.

He suddenly changed his mind.

He no longer wanted the reward of becoming a god offered by that person.

That person once told him that as long as he cooperated with his plan, he would have the opportunity to become a god.

He previously felt that this world was too boring, and he no longer wanted to be a so-called demon king. He wanted to become a god to explore whether there were more interesting things.

So, from just now, he has been acting according to the plan, but now, he saw something more interesting...

At this moment, he just wanted to wipe it out, and it didn't matter whether he became a god or not.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed Chu Lingxiao's neck tightly, without using any spiritual power at all, just like a reckless man, grabbing his neck tightly.

Chu Lingxiao's body flew into the air and was almost suffocated by the powerful force. His limbs struggled subconsciously in the air, but his consciousness became clearer.

He is indeed special...If it were someone else, being strangled so hard, his neck would probably have been broken or he would have suffocated to death, right?

Gu Qingze on the side was stunned by this sudden change. However, when he saw Ling Xiao being treated like this, he subconsciously rushed over and tried to stop it, but was knocked to the ground by the powerful air pressure of the Demon King, so that he couldn't even struggle.

Gu Qingze watched all this happen helplessly, but had no idea how to deal with it. A deep sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.

Although he knew that Ling Xiao would definitely not die, seeing Ling Xiao's painful appearance still made him feel heartbroken.

Ling Xiao was struggling in pain. Gu Qingze wanted to close his eyes, unable to bear to witness this scene.

But he knew he couldn't do it. He didn't want to escape, nor would he escape, so even though he was in extreme pain, he still chose to open his eyes and watch it all.
