Chapter 715 Demon Elder
The center of the Demon City.
The periphery of the Demon King Ridge.
The 108 Demon Elders’ Council Temple.
A burst of black and green nether fire fell rapidly from the sky, transforming into a demon with horns on its head and a slender body.
It was Prince Daly who was anxious to report the situation to the Council of Elders.
She hurried into the hall, looked around to confirm that everything was correct, and knelt on one knee in front of the stone statue of the 108 Demon Elders, respectfully saluting:
“An uncontrollable incident occurred at the entrance of the ‘Greed’ area of the Ancient Basin, and I request the Council of Elders to come forward and take charge!”
In the Demon Realm, apart from the seven ethereal Demon Lords, the remaining top powers and strengths are the Demon King and the 108 Demon Elders.
It seems that the Demon King and the Elders are in a superior-subordinate relationship.
But in fact, the comprehensive strength of the two sides is almost the same.
The combined power of the Council of Elders can completely crush the Demon King;
The Demon King alone can crush any Demon Elder in the Council of Elders.
The reason why the demon elders seem to be one level lower than the demon kings is mainly because the demon elders have to deal with all the affairs in the demon domain and make plans for the overall development of the demon clan.
The demon king only needs to stay on the Demon King Ridge to improve his strength and sit in the entire demon domain.
If you want to see the real face, you can only wait until the demon tide breaks out and expands to the outer domain, or when the prince challenges and the demon king responds, you can see it.
From a certain perspective, the demons have more opportunities to contact the demon lord than the demon king.
After all, as long as the former is "excited", he will bless him.
The latter will never show up easily until the critical moment.
Daley's voice echoed in the hall three times, and the silent stone statue finally responded.
The thick black and green mucus seeped out from its surface, like oil, slowly dripping to the ground, and then quickly bulged and condensed into three strange figures in robes.
Their appearance made the air in the whole hall more viscous, like gel, and difficult to breathe.
The leading demon elder stepped forward and spoke in a low and hoarse voice:
"Prince Daley, what happened in the Ancient Basin?"
Dai Li was still half-kneeling on the ground, without any intention of hiding anything, and went straight to the point:
"Two challengers are about to pass the Painful Road and receive the Demon Ancestor's reward..."
"Heh, isn't this a good thing... Why is it so uncontrollable that we still need to be in charge?" The other two demon elders also came forward and said.
"...If only my fellow sanctuary members passed the level, it would be a good thing." Dai Li continued:
"But the problem is that one of them is a mortal who has not been blessed by the great power..."
"Mortal?" The three demon elders interrupted the conversation, with a slight surprise in their tone, but they remained calm:
"It doesn't matter. The Demon Ancestor Projection has never given a precedent of rewarding mortals. Even if this time it is a precedent, that mortal will eventually be assimilated into our compatriots."
"...But that mortal challenger did not enter the end point where the Demon Ancestor Projection is located." Dai Li's eyebrows showed a hint of impatience.
She really hated being interrupted again and again.
If it weren't for the special identity of the other demon elder and the urgent situation in the Ancient Basin,
she really wanted to stand up and raise her hand, give each of these three idiots a big slap in the face, and then teach them what politeness is!
"Didn't reach the end?" The three demon elders' tone became more cheerful:
"Doesn't that mean you are still on the road of pain, and your five senses are still obscured by the miasma?"
"This doesn't count as passing the level, Prince Daley... This is at most 'the possibility of passing the level'."
Dai Li closed his eyelids tightly, took a deep breath and slowly opened them:
"Elder, that mortal challenger has entered a section of the road we have never entered, and is getting deeper and deeper!"
The three demon elders wanted to interrupt them habitually,
but this time Daley forcibly snatched it back with a heavier tone:
"And! That mortal challenger is carrying a prop that can stimulate the power of hypocrisy. I am worried that if I let him continue, it will cause irreparable damage to the Ancient Basin!"
Props that can stimulate the power of hypocrisy?
The three demon elders finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and their turbid eyes were wide open.
After a long pause, a surprised and angry question came out:
"How can you let such a person into the Ancient Basin! Why didn't you say it earlier?!"
Dai Li's mouth twitched, and anger appeared in her eyes.
She wanted to say it earlier,
but you old guys interrupted her eight times, how could she have the chance to say it earlier!
"The person was introduced by the three demon kings Vladimir, Kagmo and Bogang. I had just finished the level, so I didn't pay too much attention." Dai Li quickly explained:
"But the mortal youth and the female succubus who entered the Ancient Basin to challenge at the same time are in a master-servant relationship. If..."
"Master and servant? The kind that signs a contract?" A demon elder took a half step forward, and the hood slid off his head, revealing the head that looked like a toad inside.
"...According to the information I learned, yes." Dai Li felt the blue veins on her temples throbbing.
"That mortal is a servant, right?" Another demon elder immediately asked.
"...That's right." Daley frowned and nodded.
"Haha, it's okay, it's not a big problem, don't panic." The three demon elders breathed a sigh of relief:
"With the master-servant contract, we just need to wait for the fellow succubus to come out and then talk to her."
"You can handle this by yourself..."
"But to be on the safe side and prevent any accidents, the three of us should go with you."
After speaking, the three demon elders slowly set off, drawing magic power and began to teleport over long distances.
Dai Li also stood up from a half-kneeling position, with the nether fire burning all over her body, ready to take off.
But just as her feet were about to leave the ground, the maddening voice of the demon elder suddenly rang out:
"Prince Daley, this is the entrance to the 'Greed' area, right?"
"Yes..."
"Do you need us to give you a ride? The speed of teleportation is much faster than your flying with the Nether Fire..."
"No need..."
"Really? The outer perimeter of the Demon King Ridge is not close to the 'Greed' area. I remember that if you fly at full speed, it will take at least five or six minutes, right?"
"I have cleared the Painful Road and received the Demon Ancestor's reward, and I have improved..."
"That's great... Are you also ready to challenge the Demon King at a certain time like Prince Aura?"
Dai Li could no longer bear it, and the Nether Fire around him was surging, rising directly into the air:
"Three elders, the situation in the Ancient Basin cannot be delayed. Let's talk about other things after confirming that there is no problem there..."
"Otherwise, if the special force field of 'War Blessing' is affected, neither you nor I can bear this responsibility!"
...
