On the summit of Great Abyss Mountain, there were plenty of plants and vegetation. There were no lack of beasts traveling through the forest, and there were no lack of birds flying in the sky.
Even the stable Chen Kingdom had been affected by the devouring of the Dragon Qi from the Great Zhou and Great Xia Dynasties these past few days, and the winter was obviously colder than before. However, the summit of the Great Abyss Mountain is like a secluded paradise, still swaying in the wind and rain outside the world, I feel like spring.
"So this is what it looks like on the top of the Great Abyss Mountain." After another day of trekking, Liu Sheng, who had arrived at the summit of the Great Abyss Mountain, looked around and couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.
Xu Han became interested and turned to look at Liu Sheng and asked, "Then what do you think this place should look like?"
Liu Sheng thought for a moment and did not conceal anything. Instead, he said bluntly, "Not a single blade of grass grows, 10,000 kilometers of withered wood."
In the few records of humans about the demon race, demons seemed to have been intentionally or unintentionally depicted as extremely terrifying and evil existences. It was not surprising that Liu Sheng would have such an idea.
It was like a man walking alone in the dark night. When a companion suddenly appeared beside him, he could not see his opponent's appearance clearly, nor did he know his identity. He could only feel his heavy and powerful steps.
Thus, he inevitably began to guess the identity of the person who came, coincidentally traveling with him? Thief? Horse robbers? A villain who killed for pleasure … and this conjecture would inevitably fall towards the deeper and deeper abyss as time passed. It's a human instinct…
Xu Han had thought so before, so he was not surprised at all by Liu Sheng's words. However, because he didn't know much about the demon race, he naturally couldn't comment on Liu Sheng. Therefore, after hearing Liu Sheng's words, he only smiled faintly and didn't say anything. He turned around and led Liu Sheng towards the relatively wide flat peak of the Great Abyss Mountain again.
The highest point of convenience of the Great Abyss Mountain was a circular flat land. The Vast Ocean Current had once stood here and fought against the Demon Lord's blood.
That battle was one of the most unforgettable scenes in the depths of Xu Han's memories. Now that he had returned to the same place, Xu Han couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart.
"You can find that Demon Lord here?" Liu Sheng and Xu Hanfei stood on the flat roof, but there seemed to be nothing unusual about this place apart from the open space. Liu Sheng couldn't help but ask Xu Han doubtfully.
Xu Han shook his head. He did not detect any demonic aura. He only knew that there was indeed a Demon Monarch suppressing the Great Abyss Mountain. He had witnessed all of this with his own eyes, but he did not know how to find Xu Han.
Originally, he thought that he would be able to find some things to talk about after coming to the Demon Monarch Land that Canghai Liuliu had summoned back then, but now, it seemed that he was thinking too naively.
"Do you have any ideas?" Helplessly, Xu Han could only turn to Xuan'er and the others beside him for help. After all, they were also monsters, so there was no way they could sense anything special between the monsters.
However, when he asked this question, Xu Han saw Aowu jumping around like he was enjoying himself not far away. Ah Huang was eating a large mouthful of red and tender peaches that he had picked from nowhere. The two of them were obviously immersed in this paradise-like mountain peak of the Great Abyss Mountain, completely forgetting the purpose of their trip.
Only Xuan'er was still loyally squatting on Xu Han's shoulder, but hearing Xu Han's question, she obviously could not understand it. She could only widen her amber eyes and tilt her head to look at Xu Han with a flash.
Xu Han burst into laughter. He also knew that he was too sick to rush to the doctor.
"So we can only wait for the Demon Lord to come out and see us?" Liu Sheng looked at Xu Han suspiciously, probably feeling that since he knew Xu Han again, the other party rarely did such a thing without any plan.
Xu Han coughed dryly twice, and he also felt that his face was a little unhanging.
"Don't worry, I remember a technique." Xu Han said embarrassedly, but the expression on his face was somewhat lacking in confidence no matter how he looked at it.
Fortunately, Liu Sheng had 100% trust in Xu Han. Hearing Xu Han's words, Liu Sheng looked at Xu Han curiously and waited for him to use the technique he spoke of.
Xu Han coughed again and walked to the center of the flat roof. At that time, he took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with divine light, and his expression was solemn. Liu Sheng, who thought that Xu Han was going to use some profound technique, held his breath and stared at Xu Han.
Xu Han clasped his fists across his chest and said loudly to the horizon of the Great Abyss Mountain, "Sword Mausoleum disciple Xu Han requests to see Great Lord!"
With this sound, the peak of the Great Cloud Mountain was completely silent, but faintly, birds flew by and whistled.
Liu Sheng looked at it for a long time, and only after more than ten breaths did he ask uncertainly, "Not anymore?"
Xu Han nodded and said, "Nothing."
Liu Sheng's expression was strange and the corner of his mouth twitched. After a while, he said, "Your technique is really interesting."
Of course, Xu Han could see the suspicion in Liu Sheng's eyes, but there was nothing he could do about it. He remembered it clearly. When he and Canghai Liu arrived at the Great Abyss Mountain, the other party shouted at the Great Abyss Mountain like this. The Demon Monarch had already revealed his true body, but now that he had arrived, this move was no longer effective.
Xu Han frowned. He felt that with the Demon Lord's ability, he must have known of their arrival. Why didn't he want to come out and see them?
The Dark Asura Palace's plan to kill the Demon Monarch was in full swing. Could it be that the Demon Monarch refused to see him for too long and didn't even plan to take his life?
Seeing Xu Han frown, Liu Sheng also put away his joking thoughts. He walked over to Xu Han and asked, "Shall I help you roar?"
Hearing this, Xu Han smiled bitterly. This matter was truly not properly considered. He probably thought that it would be such a troublesome matter to meet this Great Monarch. However, he could not find any other way at this moment, so he could only nod his head at that time and said, "Try again."
The two of them shouted loudly from the summit of the Great Abyss Mountain. The shout of "Seeking to see the Great Lord" was overshadowed by a loud shout. In order to ensure that this voice could reach the ears of the Demon Lord who did not know where he was, Xu Han and the other two even shouted as they poured all the strength in their bodies into their voices.
As a result, the shouts shook the heavens, causing the birds and beasts in the forest to be alarmed and in chaos.
However, even though the two of them had already stirred up the mountain peak of the Great Abyss Mountain, the so-called Demon Monarch seemed to have truly fallen asleep and did not give them any response.
Just as the two of them were feeling helpless and their voices became smaller and smaller, Xuan'er, who was standing on Xu Han's shoulder, looked at the two of them who were hoarse and exhausted. The little fellow didn't know if he had suddenly realized something, or if he just felt it was simply interesting.
At that time, it suddenly jumped off Xu Han's shoulder and raised its neck, looking proudly at the horizon of Great Abyss Mountain.
"Meow!"
A cat's cry resounded at the top of the Great Abyss Mountain, and then all was silent.
…
Naturally, Xu Han had heard Xuan'er's call more than once, but there was a strange rhythm in this long call.
Xu Han and Liu Sheng were both stunned at that time. They also stopped shouting, exchanged glances, and then looked at Xuan'er with strange expressions. However, Xuan'er did not seem to have noticed that she had just displayed something unusual. When she sensed the other party's gaze, the little fellow also turned to look at the two of them. Her amber eyes were filled with confusion and confusion.
Rumble.
However, at this moment, a muffled sound suddenly came from the horizon.
The muffled sound was not the sound of thunder, but rather a long sigh from an enormous creature that had awakened from its long slumber.
The horizon where the voice came from immediately distorted and gradually transformed into a vortex. Waves of red light also began to flicker from the depths of the vortex. Very quickly, the blood-colored light covered the entire vortex and then continued to spread. In the blink of an eye, the flat roof that Xu Han and the others stood on was wrapped in the blood-colored sky.
What was even more terrifying was that along with the bloody light that filled the sky, a terrifying pressure rippled out from the bloody light.
Xu Han and Liu Sheng were in a trance. They stared blankly at the bloody light, unable to regain their senses for a long time.
"Meow!" It wasn't until Xu Han's soft cry sounded in Xu Han's ear that he woke up as if he had just dreamed.
Xuan'er jumped onto Xu Han's shoulder and rubbed her head happily against Xu Han's neck, as if she hadn't been affected at all by this abnormal situation.
"Is that him?" Liu Sheng also regained his senses at this moment. He turned around and looked at Xu Han with a strange expression, asking with a smile on his face. Obviously, even with Liu Sheng's cultivation, which was already comparable to the Earthly Immortal Realm, under this pressure, it was inevitable that his aura would not be smooth.
"Yes." Xu Han nodded solemnly. Then, he looked at the blood-colored vortex. After a slight hesitation, he was about to raise his hands to salute the owner of the aura. However, at this moment, he discovered that his right arm was not obedient, as if it was about to escape his control.
He had no choice but to use the sword intent recipe in his body to suppress the uprising. Then, he bowed to the vortex and said, "Xu Han greets the Demon Lord in his later life."
The blood-colored vortex continued to spin, but no sound was heard in response to Xu Han's words.
Xu Han frowned and was about to say something again. But who knew that Xuan'er on his shoulder seemed to be extremely displeased with the horrible aura's owner's disregard for Xu Han. At that time, he once again raised his head to the sky and let out a long cry, "Meow!"
However, he didn't want the blood-colored vortex to actually speed up a little as the sound faded away.
Then, under the surprised gazes of Xu Han and Liu Sheng, a blood-colored figure slowly walked out of the vortex.
It was a man who looked less than thirty years old, with a solemn expression, a straight nose, and an empty right arm.
Along with his appearance, the pressure that was already pervading the summit of the mountain actually became a bit greater. However, that person turned a blind eye to Xu Han and Liu Sheng. Instead, his gaze landed directly on Xuan'er, who was on Xu Han's shoulder.
He looked at Xuan'er calmly for a long time before he opened his mouth and said.
"I haven't seen you for tens of thousands of years. I didn't expect that the dignified Demon Lord Lu Wu would actually be like this."
