When the scholar suddenly heard that the bald First Master actually wanted to take advantage of a Demon Hero, his face instantly turned yellow. He stammered, "Big … First Master, a … a Demon Hero … Demon Hero … really has such a considerable amount of wealth?"
"Well … You're not a hero, so there are many things you don't understand …" The one-eyed man's face glowed.
"When I was young, I made a great wish to become a swordsman.
Do you really think I want to eradicate the Demon Clan?
Bullshit!
Let me tell you, this world is very, very big. Other than the North, South, East, West, and Middle Regions, there are also endless mysterious and vast territories. There are all kinds of mystic realms, ancient countries, historical remains, and countless natural treasures, opportunities, and karmic luck.
There was even a legend that an immortal's abode was left behind in this mountain and river … However, ordinary martial artists were not qualified to enter these areas.
Unless it was the Evil Hero.
The life of the Evil Hero is full of legends. Endless battles with the Demon Clan, adventures, treasure hunting, and success … I can responsibly say that every Evil Hero's True Cave must have stored an unimaginable amount of wealth! "
"So … So that's how it is … But, Great … Great Leader, if you recklessly make a move against a Demon Hero, if you don't have full confidence, I'm afraid … I'm afraid you'll invite a calamity of death …" The scholar's face was already filled with horror and fear.
He had seen the Devil Hero fight with his own eyes. That kind of efficient and deadly fighting style, and the rock-steady mind, were fresh in his memory.
"Men die for wealth, and birds die for food. No matter what, we have to take a gamble this time!" The one-eyed man said evilly.
"Lead the princess' wedding procession to that ghost town!"
"Wh … what?
That … that dead city!
That dead city at the border of the Blazing Sun Empire … "The scholar's face revealed an incomparably terrified expression.
"Leader … that … that ghost town … has … demon qi … and … it seems like there's an almighty demon being sealed there … for so many years, even the Demon Heroes of the Blazing Sun Empire didn't dare to rashly step into that place …"
"Hmm …" Baldy's deceitful eye was brewing a shocking plan, "That city.
Ten years ago, it was an extremely prosperous border trading city. It had a dense population and all kinds of businesses were thriving.
However, the Demon Race had stirred up trouble, and in one night, it had become a ghost town.
Later on, a powerful hero entered the ghost town alone and sealed the demon race. "
"That's right.
In the Blazing Sun Empire, there was once a time when it caused a great uproar, but in recent years, it has long since died down, and no one is interested in it. "The scholar continued.
"First Master, this subordinate doesn't understand.
Since the Demon Race has already been sealed, why hasn't the Blazing Sun Empire rebuilt that trade city? "
"Heh heh heh … That's because the vitality of the sealed demon race hasn't been completely extinguished!" The muscles at the corner of the bald one-eyed man's eyes twitched crazily as if he was recalling an extremely frightening matter.
"I once went to that dead city to investigate.
It was already in ruins.
A high-level demon was nailed to the square in the city by a powerful demon hero with a bone arrow, which almost completely destroyed its vitality.
But nothing was absolute in this world.
Perhaps because that demon was too powerful, there was still a breath of Demonic Qi left, and it seemed to be brewing and struggling all this time.
He wanted to break the seal on the bone arrow.
Last month, I went to the ghost town again and discovered that the bone arrow was sealed.
It's already starting to loosen … that demon might break free at any time! "
"Then … this subordinate is even more confused …" The scholar was doubtful.
"That powerful hero at that time.
Why didn't he completely kill that demon race?
Moreover, since the First Master also noticed that there was still a breath of Demonic Qi left in that demon and it was constantly struggling for its life, then other observant people must have also noticed this point. Why didn't the Blazing Sun Empire send a Demon Hero to directly cut the weeds and eliminate the roots?
To eliminate that demon race? "
The bald one-eyed man pondered for a few breaths before he knocked on the armrest of the chair and said.
"I also don't know about these matters.
But according to my analysis, that powerful hero must have spent a lot of effort to seal it with a single arrow. Perhaps, he didn't have the strength to kill that demon race at that time. As for the Blazing Sun Empire and the other Demon Heroes, why didn't they enter the ghost town afterwards and completely eliminate the weeds and the roots?
This … Perhaps they didn't dare to. They had a very deep fear. "
"Didn't dare?" The scholar wasn't an idiot. He rolled his eyes and understood.
"First Master, what you mean is that the demon race was sealed by the Demon Hero with a single arrow. Whether it was dead or alive, it had already become the prey of that powerful hero. If the other Demon Heroes rashly interfered, it would be tantamount to provoking that Demon Hero."
"Perhaps that's what you mean." The bald one-eyed man nodded slightly.
The scholar drew in a breath of cold air.
"This … is simply too domineering … Great Master, the Blazing Sun Empire has the Great Sun Son of Heaven and the Dragon Bone Saint Blade, but they were actually intimidated by a single bone arrow and didn't dare to act blindly without thinking … Then … how strong is the hero who shot the arrow of sealing …?"
"Yes, I don't know either. In short, he should be slightly stronger than the Great Sun Emperor and the Dragon Bone Saint Blade.
Otherwise, the Great Sun Emperor and the others would have already entered the ghost town and removed the sealed bone arrow. "The one-eyed bald man waved his hand.
"However, these are not important to our plan. The most important thing is that the sealed demon race will most likely break free from the seal soon. Then, as long as we lure Nangong Ye into the ghost town … Hehehe … Perhaps there will be a good show to watch."
"First Master, you mean to use the demon race that is trying to break free from the seal to fight against Nangong Ye first. After that, we will take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits?" The scholar's eyes slightly brightened.
"First Master, this … this is also a good idea."
"Nangong Ye is a Demon Hero who loves to kill demons. Seeing that the great demon's seal is about to be broken, he might not be able to control himself and make a move!
Although I don't know the level of that great demon, if we bring its corpse to the Demon Hero Pagoda, we might be able to exchange it for a supreme treasure.
Nangong Ye is the Demon Hero of the Beacon Fire Empire. He doesn't know much about the ghost town. Let's see if he dares to make a move.
The best case scenario would be when Nangong Ye enters the ghost town and the great demon breaks the seal on its own. That would be wonderful!
Hahahaha! "The one-eyed bald man burst into laughter. His laughter was bone-chilling.
"But, First Master, that demon race has been sealed for ten years and its life force has withered. Even if it could break free from the seal, it would be on the verge of death. I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough to pose a threat to Nangong Ye, right?" The scholar rolled his eyes and said.
"That demon still has the strength to fight … Its demonic qi is extremely terrifying." The one-eyed bald man's facial muscles twitched.
"Every time I go to the ghost town, I would be attacked by the demonic qi and be scared to death … Although that demon only has one breath of demonic qi left, it is still able to fight against a Low Stage True Qi Realm human … It's hard for me to imagine.
At its peak, it must be an extremely terrifying existence … Perhaps, it could turn mountains and rivers into powder with just a single thought. "
"There are a total of three paths to enter the Blazing Sun Empire!
Listen to my command and let the brothers start working!
Burn the Yellow Springs Poison Smoke on the other two paths and leave the path of the ghost town to Nangong Ye!
We will follow the tail.
Wait for an opportunity to act! "The one-eyed bald man made his decision.
"Don't worry. Once this is done, there will be no lack of benefits for our brothers!
The rich dowry, the endless top-grade True Qi Spirit Stones, and the great treasure that Nangong Ye brought with him … Do it! "
The scholar clenched his teeth … "Yes.
First Master!
Do it!
This subordinate will immediately order the brothers to prepare sufficient Yellow Springs Poison Smoke! "
… …

Princess Mo Hen's escort team.
Xiao Han was wearing a black cloak and riding a flood dragon horse. He was slowly moving to the left of the princess's carriage.
"These days, I have been trying to break through the eleventh true meridian. I can probably feel the throbbing of the eleventh true meridian, but I still need some time to accumulate and have an opportunity to break through.
He couldn't be too hasty in this matter.
Moreover.
I have sealed my blade intent and won't be exposed in the slightest. As a result, I don't have enough strength to break through the true meridian.
If I can use my blade intent as I please …
If I use the power of the void to forcefully break open the true meridian, I'm afraid it will take twice the effort for half the result. "Xiao Han silently thought.
Moreover, after continuously visualizing the first fifty movements of the Indestructible Golden Body.
Xiao Han's body was full of vitality, and the strength of his flesh shell was increasing day by day.
The bones in his body glowed with a golden light, and the bone texts emitted a strange light.
"With the strength of my flesh shell and the addition of bone texts, I'm afraid I can use my body to block ordinary true qi attacks." Xiao Han nodded to himself.
"Mister Yun." Hu Chenghe rode to Xiao Han's side and took out a map.
"We are about to enter the territory of the Proud Sun Empire."
"En." Xiao Han nodded slightly.
He also looked at the map.
"Mister Yun, please take a look. There are three paths to enter the Proud Sun Empire.
Two of them are mountain paths, and the other path leads to a city. After passing through this city, you will reach the border of the Proud Sun Empire.
After entering the Proud Sun Empire, if you do not stop and travel at full speed, you will reach the border of the Proud Sun Empire and the Flame Scar Empire in ten days at most.
After passing through the Flame Scar Empire, you will travel for a few days and pass through the territory of a few small countries. Then, you will completely leave the Southern Region and enter the Eastern Region. "Hu Chenghe explained.
"En … Senior Hu, have you been to the Eastern Region?" Xiao Han smiled and asked.
"Never been.
This old man has never left the Southern Region in his life. "Hu Chenghe slightly narrowed his eyes.
"For a martial artist of this old man's level, the Southern Region is very big. I will never be able to travel the entire Southern Region in my entire life.
As for the Eastern Region, that is an extremely prosperous and civilized place. Their civilization is flourishing, and they view our Southern Region as barbarians … Sigh, if Princess Mo Hen marries to the Eastern Region, I'm afraid she will suffer a lot of grievances … "As he spoke, Hu Chenghe gave Xiao Han a meaningful glance. His eyes revealed traces of instigating and hinting.
He said in a low voice.
"Mister Yun, us family servants do not wish for Princess Mo Hen to marry to the Eastern Region … I wonder what Mister Yun thinks about this?"
"Heh … this old man has other intentions. I'm afraid he wants to escape with the princess." Xiao Han laughed in his heart.
Then, he said without batting an eyelid.
"Senior Hu, let's leave the Southern Region first."
… …
… …
… …
At the front of the escort team.
Nangong Ye rode on a strange beast majestically.
"Heh … General Nangong, it seems that those bandits do not dare to make a move.
They must be afraid of General Nangong's prestige. "A deputy general said with a relaxed expression.
Another deputy general also smiled and said, "How could mere bandits dare to stop General Nangong Ye?
General is a Demon Hero, the strongest among martial artists. He can instantly kill ordinary martial artists of the same level with just a thought!
Those bandits are not idiots. Why would they be willing to dig their own graves? "
"Hahahaha …" Several deputy generals laughed loudly as if they had been relieved of a heavy burden.
They were only at the True Qi Realm. They were not as aggressive and battle-hungry as the Demon Heroes.
It would be best if there were no complications along the way.
"General Nangong, we are about to enter the border of the Blazing Sun Empire. There are three paths." A deputy general took out a map.
"There are two mountain paths and a city.
However, I have heard that this city was once haunted by the demon race. It is a ghost city and has been desolate for ten years. Even now, there is still a demon aura. "
"En … I have heard of the ghost town before. It is said that there was a great demon that was stirring up trouble and wreaking havoc in the human world. However, it was sealed by an evil hero." Nangong Ye's eyes were glowing with a blazing and restless light.
At this moment …
"Report!"
A scout galloped over on a horse. "General Nangong, there is a mountain path ahead that is burning with yellow poisonous smoke. It is a poison that can corrode true qi. It is called 'Yellow Springs Poisonous Smoke'. It is thick and does not disperse. It has almost filled the entire mountain path!
We cannot pass through! "
"Report!" Another scout galloped over to report.
"General Nangong, the mountain path to the west is filled with raging poisonous smoke. It is over a hundred feet high and is extremely difficult to pass through!
We must first clear the poisonous smoke before we can pass through! "
"Report!
General, there is a ghost city ahead. There is demon aura everywhere and no signs of life. "
… …
"General, this …" Several deputy generals were stunned.
"Hahahahaha!
Those bandits couldn't hold it in anymore … They want to lure me into the ghost city?
Hahahahaha! "The corner of Nangong Ye's mouth revealed a disdainful smile.
"So stupid … hahahaha … As a Demon Hero, why would we be afraid of a ghost city that has been haunted by the demon race?"
"General, why don't we use our true qi to completely clear the poisonous smoke on the two mountain paths?" A deputy general carefully suggested.
"Why waste time and true qi?
We will enter the ghost city directly!
We will pass through the ghost city and enter the border of the Blazing Sun Empire! "Nangong Ye waved his hand and declared heroically.
"General, this …"
"Enter the ghost city!" Nangong Ye said sternly.
"If there are any demons hiding in the city, I will kill them all!"
