Chapter 780 The Only Pure White Jasmine Flower in the Cultivation World (26)
When the great wizard returned, he found an empty room, with neither the demon lord nor the cage.
All the guarding demon soldiers were knocked unconscious and fell to the ground.
"Somebody come!"
Soon, new demon soldiers ran out, shouting, "Here!"
"Where did the Demon Lord go? Did someone from the immortal sect steal him?"
Demon Soldier: "Reporting to the Grand Wizard, we saw the Left Protector enter earlier."
The high wizard looked around. "Where is the Left Protector now?"
"I don't know."
The Great Wizard: "A bunch of useless idiots with bad brains."
Summon demon soldiers and search for the Demon Lord.
"Yes, great wizard."
The Left Protector carried the Demon Lord on his back, first returning to his residence, then opening a passage and carrying the Demon Lord inside.
"Left Protector, where are you taking me?"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will certainly help you out of this predicament."
The Demon Lord didn't believe this, and his tone unconsciously became serious, "Put me down and send me back."
The lights in the passageway kept moving backward, seemingly without end.
The Left Protector ignored the Demon Lord's commotion; he had his own plans.
The Demon Lord, crouching in the cage, felt a little dizzy from the winding path and gradually fell silent.
After an unknown amount of time, the Left Protector finally stopped carrying the Demon Lord, but this place was an altar with strange arrays drawn around it.
Demon Lord: "Ling Xi, what are you doing?"
The Left Protector's real name is Ling Xi. He basically grew up with the Demon Lord, but one became the Demon Lord and the other became the Protector.
The Left Protector threw the Demon Lord into the formation, then lowered his head and chuckled maliciously. "What can I do? Of course, I'll help Your Majesty find liberation." With that, the Left Protector unleashed his magic power and began to activate the formation.
The Demon Lord looked around and saw four purplish-blue pillars of light emerging from the four directions: east, west, south, and north. They were clearly not good things.
This is actually a sacrificial formation. As long as you sacrifice someone close to you, you can gain unparalleled magical power.
Demon Lord: "Ling Xi, I have treated you well, why do you treat me like this?"
At the very top of the magic circle, another magic circle appeared, pressing down.
Ling Xi smiled. In the Demon Clan, the strong always reign supreme. If he becomes the strongest, can he also become the Demon Lord?
A protector who doesn't want to be the Demon Lord isn't a good protector.
The Demon Lord's hands and feet were still restricted by the quantum prison, and he could only watch helplessly as the formation was activated and operated, forcing him to fly to the center of the formation.
It's hard to believe that someone as brilliant as him would ultimately fall victim to his own people.
Ling Xi stood on another part of the formation, sat cross-legged, and prepared to receive the overwhelming magical power that belonged to her.
The Demon Lord closed his eyes in despair, but after waiting for a long time, there was no response, and the restraints on his body showed no sign of tightening.
With a loud crash, the Demon Lord, along with the demon and the cage, fell to the ground.
Ling Xi stood up and continued to apply magic to the formation.
Once you've started something, you can't afford to fail.
The Demon Lord was forced to fly up again in the middle of the formation, but he fell down again after a short while.
Both demons were stunned. Ling Xi doubted her formation for a moment, while the Demon Lord was completely bewildered by the fall.
This time, Ling Xi didn't add any more magic to the magic circle, but instead found a piece of parchment and examined it carefully to see where the mistake was.
"Reporting to the High Wizard, no trace of Ling Xi or the Demon Lord has been found so far."
The high wizard stabbed the reporting demon soldier to death with a fork, saying, "Useless trash, keep searching."
"Yes."
The Grand Wizard was also very nervous; no one was more eager to find the Demon Lord than he was.
Xiong Bufan was sleeping in his room, and no demon soldiers dared to come in and search; it was a peaceful and serene place.
Ling Xi searched for a long time but couldn't figure out where the problem with the magic array was, so she could only circle around it.
Although the Demon Lord cannot move, he can still curse people, which is terrifying.
"What a waste of space, they can even draw a magic circle wrong."
Ling Xi broke down, "You're not allowed to say that it must be because of this cage that we failed."
"Maybe the magic array was never going to work from the start. If you don't believe me, come in and see for yourself," the Demon Lord said sarcastically, his eyes subtly conveying his mockery.
The demon was lying there, and no matter how you looked at it, it looked like it was flirting.
Ling Xi was provoked and said, "Fine, I'll go. Once I've absorbed your magic, I'll definitely cut off your eyes and mouth and keep them as souvenirs."
The Demon Lord remained silent, his red eyes still filled with mockery.
Ling Xi made up his mind and jumped directly into the magic array. He wanted to check it out carefully.
The magic circle activated instantly, trapping Ling Xi inside.
Seeing that the magic circle above had taken shape, Ling Xi took out her weapon and kept slashing at the area around the magic circle.
It was no use. As the magic circle operated, Ling Xi, just like the Demon Lord before her, was forced to fly to the center of the magic circle.
"Ling Ran, you despicable, shameless, and vile villain, you actually used dirty tricks on me."
The Demon Lord lay on the ground in the middle of the formation, a smile on his lips. "You'd better pray that you fall down too."
Ling Xi said with a sliver of hope, "This formation is broken; it won't drain my magic power."
"Fool, this formation is real."
Although the Demon Lord didn't know why he was unharmed just now, he was now ready to kick him while he was down.
Ling Xi: "I'm going to kill you, kill you."
“I’ve been lying here all along, come here.”
"Pfft!" Ling Xi spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling his magic power draining away.
This was the first time the Demon Lord had observed this highly destructive magic array from this perspective, and he found it quite novel for a moment.
Ling Xi struggled, but it was no use. She could only relieve her tension by cursing.
"Ling Ran, I will haunt you even as a ghost..."
Demon Lord: "If I say less, I might be able to preserve my magic power and live a little longer."
Ling Xi looked at the Demon Lord lying there and continued to curse. Although he couldn't physically harm him, he still wanted to curse this cunning demon.
"Great Wizard, we've searched the Left Protector's house, but haven't found any trace of the two demons yet."
The Great Wizard said, "Keep searching. Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find His Excellency."
"Yes."
The demon soldiers are searching house to house, while the great wizard begins divination in the palace to see if he can find the Demon Lord and the Left Protector.
In no time, Ling Xi turned into a pile of powder and fell to the ground, which landed right on the Demon Lord's face.
Now that the Left Protector is dead, the Demon Lord opened his mouth, trying to speak, but couldn't make a sound at all.
After a moment of panic, the Demon Lord calmed down. Now that he couldn't get out, whether he could speak or not seemed to make no difference to him.
After the Grand Wizard performed divination, he discovered that the Left Protector was dead and the Demon Lord was still in the Demon City, so he began to send more people to search for him.
The clever demon soldiers took tools and dug holes in the ground, trying to find traces of the Demon Lord.
