154: Heading to the Kingdom of Demons
Looking at the familiar appearance of Danyangzi's remnant soul, Huyan Zhuo's mouth hung wide open.
This Danyangzi was someone who was hailed alongside him as one of the two peerless figures of the Canglan Continent. He was a powerful Alchemist and an old acquaintance of his.
It's just that this guy had suddenly vanished without a trace over a thousand years ago.
There were rumors that he had been poisoned to death by his own female disciple. He hadn't expected to run into him at the Qingtian Sect.
However, looking at Danyangzi's state, it seemed that the rumors about him being harmed by his female disciple weren't groundless; otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up in this state of a remnant soul.
"It's you, Huyan Zhuo!" Danyangzi was also full of shock when he saw Huyan Zhuo calling his name.
He hadn't expected to see Huyan Zhuo at the Qingtian Sect.
This guy was the richest person in the Canglan Continent. The fact that even he had joined the Qingtian Sect was truly shocking.
"Oh? Do you two know each other?" Jiang Chen asked with interest.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, this Subordinate has known Danyangzi for tens of thousands of years. This guy is an Alchemy Genius." Hearing Jiang Chen's question, Huyan Zhuo immediately bowed and replied.
Danyangzi's expression became awkward upon hearing these words.
He used to be a Great Emperor on par with Huyan Zhuo. Now that he had fallen to this state, it was truly a bit embarrassing.
"An Alchemy Genius?" Jiang Chen smiled upon hearing this.
He hadn't expected that a random remnant soul he recruited would turn out to be an Alchemy Genius. Now, the position of Elder for the Qingtian Sect's Alchemy Hall was settled.
"Little Zhuo, since you know Danyangzi, you will lead the team to the Demon Kingdom to retrieve the lotus root jade body. This Sect Master will send a few more Elders to assist you." Returning to his senses, Jiang Chen looked at Huyan Zhuo and said.
Since Huyan Zhuo was so familiar with the Demon Kingdom, he was the obvious choice to go and seize the lotus root jade body.
"Yes, Sect Master. This Subordinate will definitely seize—no, retrieve the lotus root jade body to reshape the emperor body for Danyangzi." Huyan Zhuo bowed to accept the order.
As long as people were sent to assist him, he wouldn't even blink an eye, let alone seizing the lotus root jade body—he would even raze the Demon Kingdom to the ground.
After all, the Human Race and the Yao Race had been fighting for so many years, and their hatred was as deep as the sea. Now that he could go to the Demon Kingdom to seize something, it was exactly what he wanted.
"Hmm."
Jiang Chen nodded and said to Li Big Saber, "Big Saber, notify Elder Zhao Da, Zhao Er, Zhao San, and Zhao Si to accompany Little Zhuo. Also, take these two ultimate dao emperor weapons with you."
After saying this, Jiang Chen took the dragon flame staff and the Heavenly Wolf Sword he had opened from the System backpack and flew them in front of Li Big Saber.
There were only four Great Emperors in the Demon Kingdom, and one of them was a cripple. Sending five Peak Great Emperors over, plus two ultimate dao emperor weapons, was absolutely more than enough to retrieve the lotus root jade body.
"Yes, Sect Master." Li Big Saber put away the dragon flame staff and the Heavenly Wolf Sword and bowed in agreement.
Seeing Jiang Chen casually toss out two ultimate dao emperor weapons, Danyangzi's face was filled with shock.
These were ultimate dao emperor weapons!
In the Central Region, only four Great Emperor forces possessed ultimate dao emperor weapons, and they were all treated as supreme treasures to guard their sects and clans.
Yet, Jiang Chen had casually tossed out two such supreme treasures. They really didn't know what to say.
Moreover, he also knew about the Demon Kingdom and the lotus root jade body.
To retrieve the lotus root jade body from the Demon Kingdom, the people Jiang Chen sent would at least have to be Great Emperor Experts.
Thinking of the fact that the Qingtian Sect had so many Great Emperor Experts, his heart was filled with incomparable horror.
One had to know that before he fell, there were only eight Great Emperors on the entire Canglan Continent, excluding the Demon Kingdom.
Now that the Qingtian Sect alone had so many Great Emperors, it was truly terrifyingly strong.
"Alright, Danyangzi, your Physical Body will return soon. Follow the Grand Elder down now, let him arrange accommodation for you, and wait for a while." Jiang Chen instructed Danyangzi again.
"Thank you, Sect Master!" Danyangzi bowed excitedly.
"You may all go down!" Jiang Chen waved his hand, signaling the three to retire and get to work.
"This Subordinate takes his leave!"
After the three bowed to Jiang Chen, they respectfully exited the main hall.
After arranging accommodation for Danyangzi, Li Big Saber notified the four, Elder Zhao Da and the others, and set off with the two ultimate dao emperor weapons and Huyan Zhuo.
The Endless Sea.
On a massive island, luxurious palaces were situated, forming a huge city.
A large number of humanoid or human-headed, beast-bodied Yao Race members were entering and exiting the city.
This was the capital of the Demon Kingdom, the Holy Land for the entire Yao Race of the Canglan Continent.
Just at this moment.
The space above the island split open with a huge gap, and Huyan Zhuo and the four, Elder Zhao Da and the others, appeared above the island.
"Hiss, these are Great Emperor Experts of the Human Race. Do they actually dare to come to our Demon Kingdom?"
"Hmph, they are simply courting death. Daring to come to our Yao Race's base camp with just five people, the Demon Emperor will not let them leave easily."
"That's right, daring to come to the Demon Kingdom with just a few people is simply courting death."
Seeing the five, Huyan Zhuo and the others, tear through space and appear above the island, the surrounding Yao Race members instantly discovered their figures and knew that there were Great Emperor Experts among the five.
However, although they knew there were Great Emperor Experts among the five, they didn't think that all five were Great Emperors, so they weren't too afraid.
After all, this was the base camp of the Yao Race, and all four Demon Emperors were here. They would come out soon to meet these humans.
If these humans didn't have enough strength, they would definitely not be able to leave the Demon Kingdom today.
"Bold! Who dares to trespass into my Demon Kingdom!!"
Following this shout.
Three figures emitting the aura of Great Emperors instantly appeared in front of the five, Huyan Zhuo and the others.
These were two men and one woman. The men were a young man and a Middle-aged Man, while the woman was a young woman with an explosive figure and a charming temperament.
"Hehe, three Demon Emperors, have you been well?"
Seeing these three figures, Huyan Zhuo spoke calmly.
Now that he had four Peak Great Emperors and two ultimate dao emperor weapons in hand, he wasn't panicked at all; he even wanted to toy with the three of them.
"It's you, Old Ghost Huyan! Why did you bring people to my Demon Kingdom?"
Hearing Huyan Zhuo's words.
The Middle-aged Man among the three Demon Emperors looked at Huyan Zhuo and the four, Elder Zhao Da and the others, with an unkind expression.
He and Huyan Zhuo were old acquaintances; they had clashed many times during the great war between the humans and the Yao.
But his mind was not on Huyan Zhuo at all, but on the four, Elder Zhao Da and the others.
Because he felt the faint emperor might from the four of them and knew that the four, Elder Zhao Da and the others, were all Great Emperor Experts.
Now that five Great Emperors had come to the Demon Kingdom, they definitely weren't here to sightsee.
Moreover, he had never seen the four, Elder Zhao Da and the others, and for a moment, he didn't dare to act rashly.
The other two Demon Emperors were also staring at the five, Huyan Zhuo and the others, cautiously.
If they hadn't discovered that all five were Great Emperors, they would have already beaten Huyan Zhuo to death; why would they be wasting breath on him?
