Lin Qingyang stayed bored in Cangfeng Palace all day, and Cang Mo never showed up again.
Looking at the darkening sky outside the window, he couldn't help but feel a little beat in his heart. He wandered to the entrance of the courtyard, and looked through the light golden barricade of the gate at the group of guards guarding the outside. The leader was the eagle demon Yin Yu. He and the tiger demon Bashan he had seen before were the two guardians around Cang Mo, and they were also notorious among the human race.
Cang Mo actually sent him to guard a useless person like him, so he really thought highly of him.
"Hey, what are your kings busy with?" Lin Qingyang shouted towards the door.
Yin Yu stared straight ahead expressionlessly, without even moving his eyelids.
"Did he say how long he would keep me locked up?"
"Are you people naturally reticent?"
Yinyu turned his head and glanced at him, but still said nothing.
Seeing that the other party was unable to get in, Lin Qingyang sighed helplessly. It was not a problem to be locked up like this all the time, so he had to find a way to find out.
Just as he was thinking about it, a demon clan guard walked over quickly and whispered a few words into Yin Yu's ear. Yin Yu nodded, walked forward, took out a jade plaque engraved with demon clan patterns, and lightly scratched the restriction, and the light yellow light curtain dispersed like water waves.
"Your Majesty, let you go." Yin Yu said coldly.
"Where to go?"
Yinyu didn't answer, only took half a step to the side and made a "please" gesture.
Lin Qingyang had no choice but to step out of the threshold and follow them outside.
After walking out of the Blue Wind Palace, he finally saw this kid's lair. The entire Demon King's Palace was built against the steep black mountains. It was built entirely of rough basalt rocks. Giant crimson pillars connected the palaces in mid-air. The totems of beasts were cast on the pillars with dark gold bronze. The beasts' heads were ferocious, as if they would burst out of the pillars at any time.
How much money would this cost? Lin Qingyang sighed in his mind as he walked. In addition to the dense patrols on the ground, there were also three-step guard posts on the high-up city wall, and there were secret sentries from the Eagle Clan hovering overhead from time to time. It was as Cang Mo said, with layers of guards in the sky and on the ground. If he didn't let people go, he might not be able to get out.
After walking like this for a while, Lin Qingyang gradually realized that something was wrong.
The surrounding environment is getting more and more gloomy. There are no palaces around, only steep and cold black rocks on both sides are left, dark and cramped, and the air is filled with thick moisture and a faint smell of blood.
"What place is this?" Lin Qingyang asked nervously.
Yinyu ignored him and just continued walking forward.
The road underfoot was narrow and rugged, with numerous forks. The roars of wild beasts and blood-curdling screams could be faintly heard from the depths, while thick iron fences and dark red chains began to appear on the rock walls on both sides.
Lin Qingyang finally recognized that this was the dungeon of Demon Emperor City.
"Why did Cang Mo ask you to bring me here?" Lin Qingyang stopped and asked warily.
Yin Yu stopped, glanced at him with a frown, and gestured directly to the guards behind him. Two tall demon soldiers immediately stepped forward, reaching out to arrest him.
Lin Qingyang stepped back in panic. Seeing that he could no longer escape, he took out a dark ball from his sleeve and slammed it on the ground.
"Bang!"
A thick and pungent yellow smoke exploded instantly. The demon soldiers were caught off guard and were so smoked that they covered their mouths and noses and retreated.
Lin Qingyang took advantage of the chaos and turned around to run. The light in the dungeon was dim and there were many forks in the road. He ran around in a panic. As he ran, a sharp cry suddenly came from above his head, and a huge vulture came towards him from the thick fog.
Lin Qingyang subconsciously turned her head to dodge. As soon as her feet were in the air, she rolled down the steep gravel slope. She was holding on to the ground and just about to get up, but her movements suddenly froze.
Pairs of green eyes lit up in the surrounding fog. Immediately afterwards, a dozen gray wolves as big as cattle slowly walked out of the shadows, grunting greedily from their throats, and surrounded him.
Looking at those approaching fangs, Lin Qingyang suddenly remembered that Lin Yao once said that in the plot of the original book, the final outcome of his cannon fodder was to be thrown to feed the wolves. Could it be here?
Lin Qingyang's face turned pale instantly, and her heart was beating wildly in her chest. She turned around in a panic and used her hands and feet to climb up.
As soon as he raised his head and looked through the dim fog, he saw Cang Mo who had appeared on the top of the slope at some point, his silver hair swaying slightly in the cold wind.
Lin Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously stretched out his hand upwards, wanting to call him. But before his name came out, the gravel beneath his feet slipped and he fell back to the bottom of the pit.
The gray wolf in front of him was approaching, and Lin Qingyang looked up at the top of the slope again in panic.
But Cang Mo still stood there, looking down at him quietly, looking indifferent, obviously not intending to save him at all.
Lin Qingyang was stunned, his hand stretched out in the air froze, and his expression was a little unbelievable. The wolves were right in front of him, but he forgot about running away for the moment. He just sat on the ground, his mind was buzzing, and there was only one thought left: he actually wanted his own life.
This realization seemed to be more terrifying than the surrounding wolves, and his heart suddenly cramped. It was not until several wolves approached that Lin Qingyang came back to his senses and stepped back in a panic. But behind him was the cold stone wall, and there was no way to avoid it.
The leader of the wolf tentatively stepped forward, opening his mouth wide and approaching Lin Qingyang. But just when the tip of his nose was about to touch him, the leader suddenly made a move, as if he smelled something extremely terrifying. He suddenly picked up his tail, whined and backed away. The surrounding wolves also lowered their bodies and backed away.
On the slope, Yin Yu hurried over with his people, still carrying a strong stench. He knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was careless and let him run away."
Cang Mo glanced at him coldly, then jumped down. The wolves felt Cang Mo's aura and immediately scattered in fear, some of them turned up their bellies.
Cang Mo walked up to Lin Qingyang and saw him huddled under the rock, with his head lowered and his expression unclear. He seemed to be frightened.
"Aren't you very courageous? How scared are a few wolves?" Cang Mo said mockingly.
Lin Qingyang didn't say anything. He stood up with support on the stone wall and swayed a bit. Cang Mo saw this and wanted to step forward to help him, but as soon as he touched his sleeve, he was thrown away, and then the hand moved toward his face.
"Pah!"
The crisp sound of slaps echoed in the empty pit.
Yin Yu and the guards who followed him froze on the spot, and even the belly-turned wolf on the ground was frightened.
Cang Mo's face was slightly red, and he turned his head to look at Lin Qingyang with a confused expression.
However, he saw Lin Qingyang's eyes were extremely red, and there was still moisture in them, and she was staring at him angrily.
Cang Mo's eyes were filled with panic, and he looked at Lin Qingyang speechless for a moment.
Lin Qingyang ignored him and walked around him to leave. As soon as he took a step, he felt a pain in his ankle and his body swayed. Cang Mo quickly supported him.
"Let go." Lin Qingyang said coldly and pushed him hard, but he couldn't push him away.
Cang Mo pursed his lips and looked at him without saying anything. Then he bent down and hugged him sideways.
Lin Qingyang struggled for a while, Cang Mo tightened his arms, hugged the person's feet and used strength, and jumped up the slope in a flash.
The demon soldiers and wolves were left at the bottom of the pit, looking at each other.
