Save the beautiful and tragic hero
Chapter 078 Demon Venerable
Although some people headed by Lu Hai and Jing Ziang hope that Hu Luyan will quickly take the position of Demon Lord, but since Lin Chong passed away, the position of Demon Lord has been abandoned for a long time, and it is naturally not easy to help people up again .
However, Lu Hai and Jing Ziang had already made preparations. After Hu Luyan agreed, they immediately arranged for people to notify the various city lords in the Demon Realm, telling them to come to Drunk City as soon as possible.
At the same time, Mi Lu was also preparing to leave Drunk City.
He does have plans to go to Wenren's house with Hu Luyan, but before that, he has one more thing to do - I don't know if Jing Lan and Li Huai are still waiting for him in the formation, no matter what, He has to go back and have a look.
If Jing Lan and Li Huai are determined to follow him, then he can only place them in Drunk City first.
And the seven-star Kunlun sword left behind in the capital.
Mi Lu wasn't sure whether the voice that woke Hu Luyan up was from the Seven Star Kunlun Sword, but he and Hu Luyan had to stop by to see the three young men who heard about Wude. .
There are too many things to do, but there is no rush.
Mi Lu simply prepared for the trip while waiting for the arrival of the other city lords. As for the affairs of the drunken city lord...
It was only when he realized that the city lord had so much work to do!
Not only the big and small things in Drunk City, but also the contacts between Drunk City and other towns and the movements of Zheng and Demon will be reported by the housekeeper in detail.
Hu Luyan handed over most of the matters to the housekeeper, and those who were caught by the Wuwang Gang who had bullied Wen Liuliu were brought to Hu Luyan without any omission.
Hu Luyan asked the disciples of the Wuwang Gang to beat those people to death with long whips, and then hung the corpses next to Hao Xuri's corpse on the tall building, lined up and hung side by side.
Entering May, the Demon Realm is getting hotter and drier.
Hao Xuri's corpse had already begun to rot and smell after being exposed to the wind and sun for a period of time. The strong, nauseating corpse stench permeated the air inside and outside the city gate. Whenever passers-by experienced it, they had to Hold your nose and move forward quickly.
Even so, no one dared to say a word of complaint. Regarding the actions of the new city lord, everyone dared not resist at all, and only the word "obey" was in their minds.
Seeing more and more corpses hanging on the tall building, the fear in everyone's heart once again occupied the high ground. They were all glad that they hadn't attacked the poor mother and child.
Also uneasy, there are several city lords who live in the city lord's mansion.
They saw with their own eyes that those people were beaten to death by the disciples of the Wuwang Gang, and then the bodies of those people were dragged out by the disciples of the Wuwang Gang like dragging dead pigs, leaving only blood stains on the ground.
At this moment, no matter how many storms and waves they experienced, their legs felt weak unconsciously.
When they looked at the tall and beautiful wife of the city lord, their eyes were subconsciously covered with a layer of fear.
Hu Luyan felt their gazes, raised his thin eyelids, and turned his eyes to look over: "Do you have anything to say?"
Several city lords immediately shook their heads so that they almost flew up.
They want to cry but have no tears.
How dare they say anything!
"It's fine if you don't have it." Hu Luyan squinted his eyes and smiled, showing his white teeth. He smiled nicely and innocently, but the coolness in his eyes couldn't be faked, "If there is, I'm really afraid that there won't be enough whips in the house. "
Several people:"……"
They looked at Mi Lu pitifully.
Mi Lu pretended to hold the teacup, as if he didn't hear anything outside the window.
In fact, there is nothing he can do to help, who told him that he is not the real Hu Luyan?
Fortunately, at this time, the butler who appeared quietly broke the dignified atmosphere. The butler lowered his head and said, "The city lord..."
Hu Luyan glanced over coldly: "Huh?"
"..." The cold sweat dripped down the butler's face instantly, he stuttered, and changed his words reflexively, "Ma'am, Yan Fu, the lord of Qi City, and Wan Ji are here together."
"Let them in."
"Yes."
"Wait—" Hu Luyan suddenly called to the housekeeper who turned to leave, fell silent, and asked inexplicably, "Only the two of them?"
The butler was puzzled for a moment, and after pondering for a while, he replied cautiously: "There are more than ten servants who followed them, but they are the only leaders."
Hu Luyan raised his eyebrows: "That adopted daughter of Yan Fu didn't come?"
The housekeeper shook his head: "According to what the old servant has seen, apart from Wan Ji, there are no other girls beside City Lord Yan."
Hearing this, Hu Luyan's expression became visibly cheerful, he smiled and said, "That's very good, let them come in quickly."
The housekeeper was terrified by Hu Luyan's "please", and walked away tremblingly.
Although both Yan Fu and Wan Ji were mentally prepared, after observing the situation in Drunken City along the way, their expressions could not be described as serious.
After being led into the City Lord's Mansion by the butler, Yan Fu and Wan Ji looked at each other and almost understood each other's meaning.
They did have the idea of helping Hu Luyan to the top, but at the moment, the situation seems to have exceeded their expectations.
On the one hand, they underestimated Hu Luyan's strength.
On the other hand, they seem to have a better idea of Hu Luyan...
But the matter has come to this point, and they cannot be allowed to talk too much, after all, the initiative has already been handed over from them.
After passing through the lush gardens and winding corridors, they finally followed the butler to the reception hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
The blood stains in the hall have been cleaned up, but there is still a little smell of blood left.
Yan Fu's gaze swept across the ground in the middle of the hall, and he frowned slightly, but he didn't say much, and walked in.
Wan Ji followed closely behind.
The hall was full of people, all of them were other city lords who came here before them. At a glance, all the city lords of the demon towns had come, including Yan Fu and Hu Luyan, there were a total of [-] people.
As soon as Yan Fu and Wan Ji walked in, the castellan cast their eyes all over.
Hu Luyan and Mi Lu, who were sitting in the main seats, also looked at them at the same time.
After noticing Mi Lu's existence, Yan Fu didn't respond, but Wan Ji looked at him a little more in surprise.
If she remembers correctly, the young man hugged by Hu Luyan should be the young man who walked out of the Ten Thousand Snake Pit with Hu Luyan back then, it seems to be the young master of the Mi family.
Unexpectedly, after four or five years, that young master Mi still followed Hu Luyan.
Look at how intimate they are...
After all, Wan Ji was not a little girl who didn't understand anything, and she immediately saw some clues.
For a moment, she was even more surprised.
No wonder Hu Luyan mercilessly rejected her overtures back then, not to mention, and still had a sticky and ambiguous relationship with that Young Master Mi. It turned out that there was still such a relationship between the two of them...
Wan Ji was so engrossed in her thoughts that she couldn't help looking at Mi Lu for a long time, but just as she was about to look away, she suddenly met Hu Luyan's cold gaze that was staring straight at her.
Wan Ji: "..."
OK OK.
She just doesn't look at it!
Wan Ji, who had a guilty conscience, quickly lowered her eyes to the ground.
In Wan Ji's eyes, this was just an insignificant episode, but to the city lords present, it was no small matter!
It has long been heard that Hu Luyan and Wan Ji have an unusual relationship, and some people even say that they not only got married in private, but even have children.
Although the authenticity of this exaggerated statement needs to be verified, there is no groundless reasoning in this world. If there is really no relationship between Hu Luyan and Wan Ji, how could there be so many rumors?
Of course, everyone thinks so, but they don't dare to be too sure.
It wasn't until they saw the eyes of Wan Ji and the city lord above that they looked at each other, and everyone understood. They didn't make a sound on their faces, but their hearts were already full of waves.
Sure enough!
It seems that the rumors are not groundless, they are all real facts!
Look at Wan Ji's surprised eyes, look at the castellan's dodging gaze, and look at the castellan's wife's cold expression as if caught in bed.
What a great show! !
It's a pity that Wan Ji, one of the parties involved, didn't know what everyone was thinking. She walked up to Hu Luyan with Yan Fu, nodded and said: "The city lord..."
Hu Luyan interrupted them: "The city lord is here."
Wan Ji and Yan Fu were all taken aback, and looked up to follow Hu Luyan's gaze, only to see Hu Luyan's gaze fell on the numb Mi Lu.
Mi Lu sighed, and said, "Did you recognize the wrong person? I am Hu Luyan, the lord of Drunken City."
"..." Yan Fu turned his eyes back to Hu Luyan in shock, "Then he is?"
Hu Luyan hugged Mi Lu's arm happily, resting his chin on Mi Lu's shoulder, his long and narrow eyes were involuntarily bent, and the corners of his mouth were raised, as if the whole person was immersed in a jar of sweet honey. Also with an unprecedented lightness: "I am the wife of the mayor."
Yan Fu: "..."
Wan Ji: "..."
Both of them looked like they had been struck by lightning.
The butler standing by looked at them sympathetically and shook his head helplessly.
After being dazed for a long time, Wan Ji and Yan Fu's froze brains began to work again.
They didn't understand which drama Hu Luyan and Mi Lu were singing, but after thinking about it, they shouted cooperatively: "Your Excellency, Madam."
Mi Lu hummed, "Sit first."
Wan Ji and Yan Fu sat in their respective seats with dull expressions.
Seeing that everyone was here, Lu Hai, who had been greeted in advance, stood up and said loudly: "I think everyone here knows why we called you here this time. Rong, wars may break out at any time, it's okay for us to win in the Demon Realm, but if we lose, have you ever thought about what will happen to us?"
There was silence in the hall.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and no one had the intention of showing their heads at this juncture.
Hu Luyan, who was sitting on the main seat, seemed to have nothing to do with himself, and hung up high. He clasped Mi Lu's palm with one hand, and rubbed Mi Lu's thin back through the thin clothes with the other hand. It seems that there is something in Mi Lu that attracts him so much that he doesn't even want to hear what Lu Hai is saying.
Mi Lu twisted her body uncomfortably.
Even though the city lords below were listening to Lu Hai carefully on the surface, Mi Lu could feel that those people secretly glanced at him and Hu Luyan from time to time while they were gossiping.
However, Hu Luyan's hands seemed to be burning like a cluster of fire, wandering randomly on his body, making his skin all over his body itchy faintly.
After enduring it for a while, Mi Lu couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed Hu Luyan's restless hands and combined them in his own palm.
He lowered his head and glared at Hu Luyan: "Be honest."
Hu Luyan let him hold his hands, leaned his chin on his shoulder, and laughed softly: "I'm very honest."
Mi Lu retorted depressedly: "How can you be honest?"
Hu Luyan was silent for a while, then put his lips to Mi Lu's ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Do you mean you want to see me dishonest?"
While speaking, the scorching breath blew into Mi Lu's ears.
In an instant, Mi Lu felt that a place in his heart was ignited by Hu Luyan's breath, and the hot temperature spread all over his body.
He subconsciously clenched Hu Luyan's hand, his heart beat violently, and his eyelashes trembled violently.
But he still looked straight ahead, afraid that he would accidentally turn his head to meet Hu Luyan's dark eyes, and see his blushing face from them.
Fortunately, Hu Luyan didn't expose his self-deception. After laughing in a low voice, he quietly leaned against him, like a big obedient dog.
After a while, Mi Lu couldn't help but said: "Don't say these things outside in the future, others can hear you."
Hu Luyan suppressed a smile and said, "Okay."
Mi Lu snorted softly and stopped talking.
And Hu Luyan seemed to cast his eyes on Lu Hai, but in fact his peripheral vision was always fixed on Mi Lu's face. He was so focused that he could count Mi Lu's eyelashes one by one patiently.
Of course, this is not the first time he has counted Mi Lu's eyelashes.
He thinks that Mi Lu is really good-looking, with proper facial features, fair and smooth skin, every place grows into his heart, and he is more beautiful than anyone he has ever seen.
He couldn't get enough of the same.
He even wanted to lock Mi Lu up in a place where no one could find him. Only he could look at Mi Lu, touch Mi Lu, and hug Mi Lu.
But he knew in his heart——
If he really did this, the relationship between him and Mi Lu would never go back to the past.
Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, he will always suppress this desire and impulse.
He has to look like a normal person.
Otherwise Mi Lu will be angry.
Although Mi Lu didn't know what Hu Luyan was thinking, he more or less noticed the changes in Hu Luyan after Wen Liuliu's incident.
Hu Luyan seems to have become more sensitive, more suspicious, and very insecure. Even if he just woke up and didn't see him immediately, he would get up anxiously to look for him.
In this regard, Mi Lu had no choice but to adapt.
He pursed his lips and restrained his thoughts.
Just as Lu Hai had finished speaking, Jing Ziang took up Lu Hai's topic and said impassionedly: "In the past, we retreated again and again to this wasteland where not a single blade of grass grew, but what result did we get? It's their progress! Their delusion Drive us to extinction, and take our last piece of peaceful land as our own, if we remain unmoved, we will become fish on the chopping board, only to be slaughtered by them!"
Jing Ziang talked a lot, and finally got to the point, "To sum up, I propose that City Lord Hulu sit on the position of Demon Lord and lead our Demon Realm to regain the lost territory!"
As soon as the words fell, Yan Fu got up and said: "I agree with City Lord Lu and City Lord Jing. The devil world cannot be left alone for a day. Perhaps the appearance of City Lord Hulu is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to get back to the game in the devil world."
"City Master Yan is right." Lu Hai said, looking around the scene, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have any objections?"
Everyone has different expressions and looks at each other silently.
They whispered to each other for a while, and a city lord who looked very old broke the silence in the hall: "I think what the city lords said is wrong."
"City Lord Kang?" Lu Haipi looked at City Lord Kang without a smile, with undisguised sympathy in his eyes, "May I ask City Lord Kang what is his opinion?"
"I don't dare to take it for a high opinion, it's just some small doubts." The Lord Kang slowly turned his gaze between Mi Lu and Hu Luyan, looked at it for a moment, and then said, "The position of the demon king is not just a random one. The position is not something that a casual person can sit on. In the past, Lord Lin Chong became the Demon Lord because of his own ability, which convinced the heads and city lords. Now that Lord Lin Chong has passed away for many years, the Demon World has also It is much stronger than before, not to mention hidden dragons and crouching tigers, at least there are many talents, and several city lords have hastily determined the candidate for the Demon Lord based on some one-sided words, whether there is any selfishness among them, we all don't know."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a stone thrown into the water, causing ripples on the originally calm lake.
Although no one at the scene dared to blatantly echo what City Lord Kang said, it has to be admitted that City Lord Kang did express their common doubts.
Seeing that no one refuted him, City Lord Kang's arrogance rose slightly, and he even straightened his back a little. He returned a mocking smile to Lu Hai: "City Lord Lu, is it reasonable for you to say what I said?"
Lu Hai chuckled.
He waved his hand and didn't respond to the Lord Kang's question, but the sympathy in his eyes involuntarily increased a bit.
Even Jing Ziang, who was sitting across from Lu Hai, looked at City Lord Kang with a foolish face.
Kang City Lord was confused by their reaction, looked at Lu Hai, then at Jing Ziang, and asked, "Am I not right?"
"Yes." The voice from the main seat answered him, "You are quite right."
Hearing this, City Lord Kang's tense expression slowly relaxed. He looked for the voice, and when he saw that face so beautiful that even its beauty would be overshadowed, his brows furrowed visibly again.
He remembered that the handsome young man was Hu Luyan's male favorite.
Although Hu Luyan doted on him and pampered him, not only brought him to the stage, but also made everyone respectfully call him the city lord's wife, but the man's favorite is the man's favorite after all, unlike the regular wife who was brought back by eight sedan chairs, how can he be on the stage? Go to the Hall of Elegance?
Besides, Hu Luyan didn't speak, when will it be a male favorite's turn to speak?
"Mrs. City Mistress, we are discussing important matters related to the Demon Realm. Madam Mistress of the City Mistress doesn't understand the details. I'm afraid it's better not to participate indiscriminately." City Mistress Kang hid the disdain in his eyes, but still had some contempt in his words. Showed between the lines.
Unexpectedly, Hu Luyan twitched the corner of his mouth and turned to ask Mi Lu: "My lord, can I not participate in your discussion?"
Mi Lu: "..."
Hu Luyan pulled his hands out of Mi Lu's palms, quickly wrapped them around Mi Lu's arms, and when he spoke again, there was a hint of pity in his pretentiously aggrieved tone: "Just because I don't understand, I don't even say a word. Is it allowed?"
Mi Lu supported his forehead with a headache: "Tell me, you can say whatever you want."
Hu Luyan's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Is this really true?"
"Of course it's true. You are the wife of the city lord. If you can't say anything, who else can say it?" Mi Lu pretended to pat Hu Luyan's hand wrapped around his arm, and after soothing Hu Luyan, his eyes Sweeping coldly at the crowd below, "From now on, his words are my words, and his meaning is my meaning, do you understand?"
Everyone replied angrily: "Understood."
In the audience, only Yan Fu and Wan Ji were stunned.
After being confused, they took a sip of the teacups at the same time in a tacit understanding. Some things, it's better to pretend not to know.
City Lord Kang didn't expect Hu Luyan to praise a male favorite so much, and he didn't expect that he would be overwhelmed by a male favorite, so his face immediately became extremely ugly.
City Lord Kang choked for a long time, and squeezed out a sneer from his throat: "Since the Lord City Lord has expressed his position like this, it would seem that I am stingy if I don't listen to what the City Lord's wife has to say. "
Hu Luyan got up slowly and walked towards the Lord Kang along several stairs. With a suitable smile on his face, he said unhurriedly: "What City Lord Kang said is very true. It is not a trivial matter to set up a demon king. Just find it Not alone."
The Lord Kang watched Hu Luyan walk in front of him, only to realize that this male favorite whom he despised was a head taller than him, and he had to raise his head to look directly into Hu Luyan's eyes.
But the posture of raising his head made him very uncomfortable, and he stepped back subconsciously.
"It turns out that the wife of the city lord thinks the same way." City lord Kang said coldly.
"So I'm here to let everyone see if our city lord is qualified for the position of the demon king." Hu Luyan's eyes smiled into a crooked moon shape, and he took out the corpse bead and handed it to Kang City lord, "Before that, you look at this—"
Lord Kang looked up, and then he was surprised: "This is not righteous..."
Before the words "Corpse Transformation Bead" could be uttered from the mouth of City Lord Kang, black water suddenly flowed from the palm of Hu Luyan's hand and fell to the ground tick-tock.
The next moment, several pairs of rotten hands stretched out from the black water, dragging City Lord Kang directly into the black water.
City Lord Kang didn't even make a sound, and just disappeared from everyone's sight.
A magic cultivator at the pinnacle of golden core...
That's it.
Everyone was shocked, staring straight at the corpse bead in Hu Luyan's hand.
Only then did they belatedly recall the rumors about Hu Luyan and the rotting corpses they saw with their own eyes when they entered the drunken city.
Among them was Hao Xuri's body.
The overwhelming fear surged, drowning everyone in an instant.
Only then did they realize what a dangerous idea they had just had, and they were almost killed in that scary black water by that brainless Lord Kang.
Thinking of this, many people felt lingering fear, and their limbs went numb.
Just the wife of the city lord made it hard for them to fight, so how about Hu Luyan, who sat on the main seat and looked approachable and watched the tragic death of the city lord Kang without changing his expression...
The answer can be imagined.
The air in the hall froze.
No one dared to stand up and speak against it.
However, Hu Luyan did not put away the corpse beads, but walked around the hall with the corpse beads. Wherever he walked, black water gathered, and countless hands with a rotten smell tried to Get out of the black water.
The entire hall was filled with an extremely unpleasant smell.
Among them, the most shocked person was Wan Ji, because of Ming Sui's relationship, she had dealt with Yao Zongtang a lot, and she knew more about the Corpse Bead than the others.
In her memory, how did Ming Deyi's Corpse Transformation Orb ever have such power?
Hu Luyan raised his chin and asked with a smile, "Who else is not convinced?"
The crowd fell silent.
After a long time, under the leadership of Lu Hai and Jing Ziang, everyone stood up and knelt down as if they had just woken up from a dream, and their voices were as loud as a bell: "Greetings, Lord Mozun!"
However, Lu Hai and Jing Ziang had already made preparations. After Hu Luyan agreed, they immediately arranged for people to notify the various city lords in the Demon Realm, telling them to come to Drunk City as soon as possible.
At the same time, Mi Lu was also preparing to leave Drunk City.
He does have plans to go to Wenren's house with Hu Luyan, but before that, he has one more thing to do - I don't know if Jing Lan and Li Huai are still waiting for him in the formation, no matter what, He has to go back and have a look.
If Jing Lan and Li Huai are determined to follow him, then he can only place them in Drunk City first.
And the seven-star Kunlun sword left behind in the capital.
Mi Lu wasn't sure whether the voice that woke Hu Luyan up was from the Seven Star Kunlun Sword, but he and Hu Luyan had to stop by to see the three young men who heard about Wude. .

Rong, wars may break out at any time, it's okay for us to win in the Demon Realm, but if we lose, have you ever thought about what will happen to us?"
There was silence in the hall.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and no one had the intention of showing their heads at this juncture.
Hu Luyan, who was sitting on the main seat, seemed to have nothing to do with himself, and hung up high. He clasped Mi Lu's palm with one hand, and rubbed Mi Lu's thin back through the thin clothes with the other hand. It seems that there is something in Mi Lu that attracts him so much that he doesn't even want to hear what Lu Hai is saying.
Mi Lu twisted her body uncomfortably.
Even though the city lords below were listening to Lu Hai carefully on the surface, Mi Lu could feel that those people secretly glanced at him and Hu Luyan from time to time while they were gossiping.
However, Hu Luyan's hands seemed to be burning like a cluster of fire, wandering randomly on his body, making his skin all over his body itchy faintly.
After enduring it for a while, Mi Lu couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed Hu Luyan's restless hands and combined them in his own palm.
He lowered his head and glared at Hu Luyan: "Be honest."
Hu Luyan let him hold his hands, leaned his chin on his shoulder, and laughed softly: "I'm very honest."
Mi Lu retorted depressedly: "How can you be honest?"
Hu Luyan was silent for a while, then put his lips to Mi Lu's ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Do you mean you want to see me dishonest?"
While speaking, the scorching breath blew into Mi Lu's ears.
In an instant, Mi Lu felt that a place in his heart was ignited by Hu Luyan's breath, and the hot temperature spread all over his body.
He subconsciously clenched Hu Luyan's hand, his heart beat violently, and his eyelashes trembled violently.
But he still looked straight ahead, afraid that he would accidentally turn his head to meet Hu Luyan's dark eyes, and see his blushing face from them.
Fortunately, Hu Luyan didn't expose his self-deception. After laughing in a low voice, he quietly leaned against him, like a big obedient dog.
After a while, Mi Lu couldn't help but said: "Don't say these things outside in the future, others can hear you."
Hu Luyan suppressed a smile and said, "Okay."
Mi Lu snorted softly and stopped talking.
And Hu Luyan seemed to cast his eyes on Lu Hai, but in fact his peripheral vision was always fixed on Mi Lu's face. He was so focused that he could count Mi Lu's eyelashes one by one patiently.
Of course, this is not the first time he has counted Mi Lu's eyelashes.
He thinks that Mi Lu is really good-looking, with proper facial features, fair and smooth skin, every place grows into his heart, and he is more beautiful than anyone he has ever seen.
He couldn't get enough of the same.
He even wanted to lock Mi Lu up in a place where no one could find him. Only he could look at Mi Lu, touch Mi Lu, and hug Mi Lu.
But he knew in his heart——
If he really did this, the relationship between him and Mi Lu would never go back to the past.
Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, he will always suppress this desire and impulse.
He has to look like a normal person.
Otherwise Mi Lu will be angry.
Although Mi Lu didn't know what Hu Luyan was thinking, he more or less noticed the changes in Hu Luyan after Wen Liuliu's incident.
Hu Luyan seems to have become more sensitive, more suspicious, and very insecure. Even if he just woke up and didn't see him immediately, he would get up anxiously to look for him.
In this regard, Mi Lu had no choice but to adapt.
He pursed his lips and restrained his thoughts.
Just as Lu Hai had finished speaking, Jing Ziang took up Lu Hai's topic and said impassionedly: "In the past, we retreated again and again to this wasteland where not a single blade of grass grew, but what result did we get? It's their progress! Their delusion Drive us to extinction, and take our last piece of peaceful land as our own, if we remain unmoved, we will become fish on the chopping board, only to be slaughtered by them!"
Jing Ziang talked a lot, and finally got to the point, "To sum up, I propose that City Lord Hulu sit on the position of Demon Lord and lead our Demon Realm to regain the lost territory!"
As soon as the words fell, Yan Fu got up and said: "I agree with City Lord Lu and City Lord Jing. The devil world cannot be left alone for a day. Perhaps the appearance of City Lord Hulu is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to get back to the game in the devil world."
"City Master Yan is right." Lu Hai said, looking around the scene, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have any objections?"
Everyone has different expressions and looks at each other silently.
They whispered to each other for a while, and a city lord who looked very old broke the silence in the hall: "I think what the city lords said is wrong."
"City Lord Kang?" Lu Haipi looked at City Lord Kang without a smile, with undisguised sympathy in his eyes, "May I ask City Lord Kang what is his opinion?"
"I don't dare to take it for a high opinion, it's just some small doubts." The Lord Kang slowly turned his gaze between Mi Lu and Hu Luyan, looked at it for a moment, and then said, "The position of the demon king is not just a random one. The position is not something that a casual person can sit on. In the past, Lord Lin Chong became the Demon Lord because of his own ability, which convinced the heads and city lords. Now that Lord Lin Chong has passed away for many years, the Demon World has also It is much stronger than before, not to mention hidden dragons and crouching tigers, at least there are many talents, and several city lords have hastily determined the candidate for the Demon Lord based on some one-sided words, whether there is any selfishness among them, we all don't know."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a stone thrown into the water, causing ripples on the originally calm lake.
Although no one at the scene dared to blatantly echo what City Lord Kang said, it has to be admitted that City Lord Kang did express their common doubts.
Seeing that no one refuted him, City Lord Kang's arrogance rose slightly, and he even straightened his back a little. He returned a mocking smile to Lu Hai: "City Lord Lu, is it reasonable for you to say what I said?"
Lu Hai chuckled.
He waved his hand and didn't respond to the Lord Kang's question, but the sympathy in his eyes involuntarily increased a bit.
Even Jing Ziang, who was sitting across from Lu Hai, looked at City Lord Kang with a foolish face.
Kang City Lord was confused by their reaction, looked at Lu Hai, then at Jing Ziang, and asked, "Am I not right?"
"Yes." The voice from the main seat answered him, "You are quite right."
Hearing this, City Lord Kang's tense expression slowly relaxed. He looked for the voice, and when he saw that face so beautiful that even its beauty would be overshadowed, his brows furrowed visibly again.
He remembered that the handsome young man was Hu Luyan's male favorite.
Although Hu Luyan doted on him and pampered him, not only brought him to the stage, but also made everyone respectfully call him the city lord's wife, but the man's favorite is the man's favorite after all, unlike the regular wife who was brought back by eight sedan chairs, how can he be on the stage? Go to the Hall of Elegance?
Besides, Hu Luyan didn't speak, when will it be a male favorite's turn to speak?
"Mrs. City Mistress, we are discussing important matters related to the Demon Realm. Madam Mistress of the City Mistress doesn't understand the details. I'm afraid it's better not to participate indiscriminately." City Mistress Kang hid the disdain in his eyes, but still had some contempt in his words. Showed between the lines.
Unexpectedly, Hu Luyan twitched the corner of his mouth and turned to ask Mi Lu: "My lord, can I not participate in your discussion?"
Mi Lu: "..."
Hu Luyan pulled his hands out of Mi Lu's palms, quickly wrapped them around Mi Lu's arms, and when he spoke again, there was a hint of pity in his pretentiously aggrieved tone: "Just because I don't understand, I don't even say a word. Is it allowed?"
Mi Lu supported his forehead with a headache: "Tell me, you can say whatever you want."
Hu Luyan's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Is this really true?"
"Of course it's true. You are the wife of the city lord. If you can't say anything, who else can say it?" Mi Lu pretended to pat Hu Luyan's hand wrapped around his arm, and after soothing Hu Luyan, his eyes Sweeping coldly at the crowd below, "From now on, his words are my words, and his meaning is my meaning, do you understand?"
Everyone replied angrily: "Understood."
In the audience, only Yan Fu and Wan Ji were stunned.
After being confused, they took a sip of the teacups at the same time in a tacit understanding. Some things, it's better to pretend not to know.
City Lord Kang didn't expect Hu Luyan to praise a male favorite so much, and he didn't expect that he would be overwhelmed by a male favorite, so his face immediately became extremely ugly.
City Lord Kang choked for a long time, and squeezed out a sneer from his throat: "Since the Lord City Lord has expressed his position like this, it would seem that I am stingy if I don't listen to what the City Lord's wife has to say. "
Hu Luyan got up slowly and walked towards the Lord Kang along several stairs. With a suitable smile on his face, he said unhurriedly: "What City Lord Kang said is very true. It is not a trivial matter to set up a demon king. Just find it Not alone."
The Lord Kang watched Hu Luyan walk in front of him, only to realize that this male favorite whom he despised was a head taller than him, and he had to raise his head to look directly into Hu Luyan's eyes.
But the posture of raising his head made him very uncomfortable, and he stepped back subconsciously.
"It turns out that the wife of the city lord thinks the same way." City lord Kang said coldly.
"So I'm here to let everyone see if our city lord is qualified for the position of the demon king." Hu Luyan's eyes smiled into a crooked moon shape, and he took out the corpse bead and handed it to Kang City lord, "Before that, you look at this—"
Lord Kang looked up, and then he was surprised: "This is not righteous..."
Before the words "Corpse Transformation Bead" could be uttered from the mouth of City Lord Kang, black water suddenly flowed from the palm of Hu Luyan's hand and fell to the ground tick-tock.
The next moment, several pairs of rotten hands stretched out from the black water, dragging City Lord Kang directly into the black water.
City Lord Kang didn't even make a sound, and just disappeared from everyone's sight.
A magic cultivator at the pinnacle of golden core...
That's it.
Everyone was shocked, staring straight at the corpse bead in Hu Luyan's hand.
Only then did they belatedly recall the rumors about Hu Luyan and the rotting corpses they saw with their own eyes when they entered the drunken city.
Among them was Hao Xuri's body.
The overwhelming fear surged, drowning everyone in an instant.
Only then did they realize what a dangerous idea they had just had, and they were almost killed in that scary black water by that brainless Lord Kang.
Thinking of this, many people felt lingering fear, and their limbs went numb.
Just the wife of the city lord made it hard for them to fight, so how about Hu Luyan, who sat on the main seat and looked approachable and watched the tragic death of the city lord Kang without changing his expression...
The answer can be imagined.
The air in the hall froze.
No one dared to stand up and speak against it.
However, Hu Luyan did not put away the corpse beads, but walked around the hall with the corpse beads. Wherever he walked, black water gathered, and countless hands with a rotten smell tried to Get out of the black water.
The entire hall was filled with an extremely unpleasant smell.
Among them, the most shocked person was Wan Ji, because of Ming Sui's relationship, she had dealt with Yao Zongtang a lot, and she knew more about the Corpse Bead than the others.
In her memory, how did Ming Deyi's Corpse Transformation Orb ever have such power?
Hu Luyan raised his chin and asked with a smile, "Who else is not convinced?"
The crowd fell silent.
After a long time, under the leadership of Lu Hai and Jing Ziang, everyone stood up and knelt down as if they had just woken up from a dream, and their voices were as loud as a bell: "Greetings, Lord Mozun!"
