Yin Ji was instantly kissed into a daze, completely unaware of where she was, and even forgot to resist.
Lanling’s kiss was filled with aggression.
That sucking, that biting, was the kind that almost drew blood.
He had now grown accustomed to biting people’s necks to drink blood at the slightest provocation.
It was not just his mouth that was wild. His hands were even wilder. The force of his gripping almost left Yin Ji’s buttocks swollen, red, and bruised.
They kissed for several minutes, and Yin Ji almost felt she could not breathe.
Lanling released her.
“What, what are you doing?” Yin Ji demanded, her voice fierce but her heart timid.
Lanling had wanted to say, I am saving your life, but he was not quite shameless enough to say that. He merely licked his lips.
“If there is anything, discuss it more with my uncle. I am leaving the tribe’s affairs in your hands,” Lanling said.
Then, he simply left.
He left Yin Ji standing in place, motionless.
What was this? Too overbearing, too disrespectful.
After grabbing her and kissing her passionately, after ravishing her, there was not a single sweet word. He simply got straight to business.
Originally, Lanling had wanted to be honest. If he had forced himself on her, she would probably have been driven to despair. So he planned to do it in steps. First kiss, then touch, finally push her down.
However, some things can be done but not said.
If he had really said it, Yin Ji would probably have slapped him directly, and steps two and three would have been ruined.
“Also…” Lanling said, “If Ninian does anything to harm the tribe, kill her immediately.”
Yin Ji said, “She was with you. Her pure body was given to you.”
Lanling said, “So what? Must I take responsibility for her?”
Seeing Yin Ji’s face turn pale and about to erupt in anger, Lanling turned and left directly.
“Lanling, you are a bastard. If you dare ravish me like this again, I guarantee I will bite off your tongue.”
“Uncle, I need to go to the Xie Li tribe. It will probably take some time,” Lanling said. “Khan Xie Li and his centaur army will remain in the Yan Mo tribe. While I am away, I leave the tribe in your hands.”
“Very well,” Suo Mo said.
Lanling said, “Also, Yin Ji is the princess of the Ye Lan duchy. Her parents were killed by me. She has always wanted revenge, but she has never seen me. She only knows her enemy’s name is Suo Lun, and she thinks I am the regent of the Nu Lang kingdom.”
Suo Mo was greatly shocked.
Lanling said, “So, do not let it slip.”
Suo Mo nodded. “Understood.”
“Yin Ji pleaded, so I have not killed Ninian for now,” Lanling said. “But if Ninian does anything to harm the tribe’s interests, do not be soft hearted. Order her execution directly.”
Suo Mo nodded. “Yes.”
“Take care, Uncle.”
Lanling left the Yan Mo tribe that very night, riding a golden maned griffin beast toward the ruins of the Heavenly Demon Ancient City to search for the Demon Flame relic. In total, thirteen death warriors rode on six griffin beasts with him.
The remaining thirteen death warriors stayed in the Yan Mo tribe, under the command of Suo Mo and Di Na.
The ruins of the Heavenly Demon Ancient City were located on the Silent Death Snow Mountain.
This snow mountain was extraordinarily high, probably exceeding ten thousand metres. Moreover, it was not a continuous mountain range, but a solitary peak. The diameter at its base was roughly five hundred li.
The entire mountain was a no man’s land, without a trace of life.
Below five thousand metres in altitude, the mountain body was entirely black rock. There was no soil, and no vegetation.
Above five thousand metres, it was gradually covered in snow.
This solitary mountain was very famous. Even within the entire Rakshasa tribe’s domain, it counted as a very high mountain. Many people had come to explore it.
In the end, nothing was discovered. One could even say there was nothing at all.
No one had expected that inside the mountain’s belly there would actually be the ruins of a Heavenly Demon Ancient City.
Without a doubt, this was an ancient demon tribe civilised city.
Over countless ages, humans and the demon tribe had attacked one another. Who knew how many times they had almost destroyed each other’s civilisation.
It was not just human civilisation that had been destroyed several times. The demon tribe’s civilisation had also been destroyed several times.
And the Heavenly Demon Ancient City was one of the countless demon tribe civilisations destroyed in ancient times.
However, exactly how it had perished, and whether it was destroyed by a human army, was unknown.
For thousands of years, Rakshasa tribe powerhouses had constantly come to this Silent Death Snow Mountain to adventure, trying to find something.
But whether from the mountain foot, the mountainside, or the mountain peak, they could not find the slightest trace, let alone any entrance.
And wanting to carve a hole from the mountain was even more impossible, because the rock of this Silent Death Snow Mountain was incomparably hard. Even with a dark gold heavy sword, it would be difficult to dig out a passage or cave.
So up to now, no one knew the entrance to the Heavenly Demon Ancient City.
But Lanling knew.
The Mirror Demon King knew, which meant he knew.
In fact, the entrance to the Heavenly Demon Ancient City was not on this Silent Death Snow Mountain, but in a great river a hundred li to the north.
Lanling and the thirteen death warriors dismounted their griffin beasts by the great river, then plunged headfirst into the water.
According to the Mirror Demon King’s description, there was a secret waterway beneath the great river.
Effortlessly, Lanling found this underground secret waterway, then swam inside along it.
This secret waterway led directly into the interior of the Heavenly Demon Ancient City. It was over one hundred and thirty li long.
Apart from Lanling and the death warriors, probably no one could swim this hundred plus li waterway. Even the strongest Rakshasa tribe martial artist, even an absolute powerhouse like Khan Xie Li, would suffocate and die swimming a hundred plus li waterway.
But Lanling almost did not need to breathe.
And the death warriors, to a certain extent, were driven by a very mysterious energy. They no longer needed to breathe.
The thirteen people swam continuously forward along the secret waterway.
Two hours later.
They finished swimming the one hundred and thirty li secret waterway and reached the end.
Ahead was a stone door, a stone door carved full of mysterious runes.
The death warrior Gou Li stepped forward and pushed the stone door.
“Master, it will not move.”
Then, all thirteen death warriors went to push the stone door.
In the end, it still did not move an inch.
This was astonishing. The combined strength of thirteen death warriors was several hundred thousand jin, yet they could not push open a single stone door.
“Let me try…” Lanling said.
Then, he stepped forward and pushed the stone door with force.
According to imagination, it should have been that thirteen death warriors could not push the stone door no matter what, but Lanling stepped forward and gently pushed it open.
Because of the Mirror Demon King’s constant brainwashing, Lanling felt he was full of specialness. Although he had not admitted to being some kind of demon king, he firmly believed he was absolutely different from others.
He had not expected to be slapped in the face.
He also could not push this stone door. It was completely motionless.
He took a deep breath. Still could not push it.
To save the Xie Li tribe and conquer the Chi Yan tribe, the first essential was to obtain the Demon Flame relic.
But now he could not even enter the ruins of the Heavenly Demon Ancient City. This was awkward.
The Mirror Demon King had mentioned this door, but had not said how to open it.
Because when the Ghost King had entered the ruins of the Heavenly Demon Ancient City, he had not needed to push open this stone door. He was an energy body.
That was right. The Mirror Demon King had learned the secret of the Heavenly Demon Ancient City ruins from the Ghost King.
Apart from the Ghost King, no one had ever entered here.
Lanling quieted down, closed his eyes, and thought about how to open this stone door to enter the Heavenly Demon Ancient City.
Force definitely could not open it. After all, this was an ancient demon city, a once extremely brilliant and extremely powerful civilisation. Its entrance was absolutely not something that could be opened with brute force.
After thinking for a while, Lanling bit open his own finger and smeared his blood on the stone door.
Had not the Mirror Demon King constantly claimed he was a demon king, a demon emperor, and so on?
Then he should be able to enter this Heavenly Demon Ancient City.
Lanling’s blood transformed into a ray of light and disappeared inside the stone door. Then, the rune carvings on the door emitted a blurred light and began to turn in a complex manner.
Moreover, the entire stone door actually gradually transformed into a crystal.
Three minutes later.
The changes in the runes on the stone door ended.
“Click…”
This crystal stone door gradually became transparent, and finally completely disappeared.
That was right. It did not open. It directly became transparent and disappeared.
Lanling walked in with the thirteen death warriors, completely unimpeded.
At this moment, Lanling finally realised how childish his previous attempt to force open this door with brute strength had been, because this door was a full thousand metres thick.
That was right. A thousand metres thick.
Lanling advanced all the way, and the door became transparent and disappeared all the way.
After walking for several minutes, this door finally reached its end.
Then…
Lanling was completely, completely stunned.
Shocked.
He could not even breathe, though he did not need to breathe.
He had never seen a city so huge, so magnificent, so astonishing.
The Mirror Demon King had not described any scene of the Heavenly Demon Ancient City ruins to him. He had only said to go see for himself.
This was the true demon kingdom.
This city was incomparably, incomparably huge.
Every space Lanling’s eyes could see was the Heavenly Demon Ancient City.
It stretched for hundreds of li in length and breadth, and rose over ten thousand metres high.
This was not a flat city, but a three dimensional city.
All the houses were floating in space.
That was right. Floating.
This Heavenly Demon Ancient City was inside the belly of the Silent Death Snow Mountain. There should be no gravity.
Countless beautiful houses, without any damage.
There were gorgeous small towers, huge high towers, magnificent great halls, spectacular plazas, and countless sculptures.
The roads here were all paved with gorgeous stone slabs. Every slab had various sculptures.
On both sides of the roads were fountains everywhere, and sculptures everywhere.
Even the chairs on both sides of the roads had beautiful carvings.
This city was probably divided into several dozen levels, each level about three hundred metres.
Exquisitely beautiful roads wound upward, connecting every level of the city.
When he had gone to the Blood Shore Lost City, Lanling had been shocked.
But compared to this Heavenly Demon Ancient City, the shock level of the Blood Shore Lost City was much smaller.
This was the heavenly demon city. This was the immortal demon kingdom.
Lanling estimated that this single Heavenly Demon Ancient City alone could accommodate a population of tens of millions. Because it was completely equivalent to a city of several hundred thousand square kilometres in the human kingdom.
Lanling took his first step and walked onto the winding great road of the Heavenly Demon Ancient City.
The several dozen levels of the entire Heavenly Demon Ancient City were connected by this winding upward great road.
Walking onto the winding road, Lanling was surprised to discover that this city had gravity. These huge plazas and magnificent great halls were not floating in the air, but were fixed in the air by relying on the winding great road.
This was too astonishing.
What material was this winding great road made of, that it could bear such astonishing weight?
Lanling crouched down to observe. It was not metal, nor crystal. It was a material Lanling had never seen before, more like an energy body.
Along the winding great road, he kept going up, heading toward the peak of the Heavenly Demon Ancient City.
The Demon Flame relic was at the very top of this city.
After more than an hour, Lanling arrived at the peak of the Heavenly Demon Ancient City ruins.
The space here was no longer so large.
This was the thirty third level of the Heavenly Demon Ancient City. Here there was only one Heavenly Demon Great Hall.
The Demon Flame relic was inside this Heavenly Demon Great Hall.
According to Lanling’s estimate, this should be the same as the Blood Shore Lost City. The Demon Flame relic was the energy core of the entire city, supporting the energy operation of the entire demon city.
He arrived before this incomparably magnificent great hall.
The entire great hall had thirteen pillars. Every pillar was a sculpture. Looking closely, they should be sculptures of the thirteen demon kings, a full three hundred metres high.
That is to say, the entire Heavenly Demon Great Hall was also three hundred metres high.
Lanling and the thirteen death warriors standing before this great hall were truly as small as ants.
Gou Li suddenly said, “Master, it is also fitting that you brought exactly us thirteen death warriors.”
It really was a coincidence.
Lanling passed the thirteen demon king pillars and arrived at the door of the Heavenly Demon Great Hall.
This door, three hundred metres high and one hundred metres wide, was truly like a great mountain.
On the door were countless sculptures.
The sculptures were all of various demonesses, bare bodied demonesses.
Every demoness had gorgeous wings and sharp horns on her head.
Every demoness was gorgeous and seductive.
Taking a deep breath, Lanling reached out to push the door of the Heavenly Demon Great Hall.
Of course, it was still completely motionless.
Lanling once again bit open his finger and smeared it on the great hall door.
As before, a golden yellow light flashed, and countless runes emerged on the great hall door.
Then…
The sculpted demonesses on the door actually came alive.
One after another demoness, world overturning, incomparably seductive demonesses, flew down from the door.
They knelt neatly before Lanling.
“Your servant pays respects to the Demon Emperor Your Majesty.”
Several hundred demonesses, their beautiful eyes gazing at Lanling, filled with affection, filled with fanaticism, said, “Your Majesty, you have finally come. Have you come to liberate us? Can we finally see the light of day again? Will you lead us to destroy the entire world?”
On the giant door, more and more demonesses came alive, flapped their wings, flew down, and knelt before Lanling.
They were so real.
Lanling could not help reaching out his hand to caress the face of one of the demonesses.
Warm, smooth cheeks, incomparably real.
They were real.
The demoness being caressed had a face full of intoxicated happiness, rubbing her cheek against Lanling’s palm, extending her tongue to lick his palm.
Then, more and more incomparably beautiful demonesses surged toward Lanling.
“The great Demon Emperor Your Majesty has finally come. Our demon kingdom’s great army can finally see the light of day again.”
