"Show me your Dragon's Claw technique first," Xiao Hei instructed Le Xun from inside the tent.
Le Xun already possessed countless precious healing pills to suppress his hidden ailment. In addition, he had rarely used the Dragon's Claw in recent years, so he successfully eradicated the ailment with just three Black Flame Fire Pill.
Now, all that's needed is to practice Dragon's Claw and force out the fire poison.
Le Xun did as instructed.
The Dragon's Claw cultivates that wisp of dragon energy. The dragon energy is domineering and circulates continuously within the arm. As long as the direction of the dragon energy is controlled, it can be forced out by moving it to the places where fire poison accumulates and settles.
Xiao Hei needs to do is guide Le Xun channel the dragon energy.
An hour later, the dragon energy forced out some of the fire poison. Le Xun a long breath, wiped the cold sweat from his face, and hurriedly cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you, Commander."
Xiao Hei nodded, then looked at his subordinates training outside the tent and frowned slightly.
Calm, eerily calm.
Three days have passed.
The so-called command task has not yet been issued.
Seemingly sensing Xiao Hei's thoughts, Le Xun to the side, also said with some doubt, "Logically speaking, the commander's mission should be issued the next day. It's really unusual that so much time has passed."
It seems this has aroused suspicion.
Xiao Hei isn't stupid; he's good at hiding his strength and is also skilled in using the Dragon's Claw.
The Demon King Imperial Guard is an organization that is extremely sensitive to identity, background, and loyalty; it is estimated that the missions they issue will primarily test loyalty and involve investigation.
noon.
Training is over.
The commander-in-chief himself came to the camp.
"Commander Heizi, it seems you have a knack for training your subordinates. You've got them under your command so quickly," the commander said with a forced smile.
Xiao Hei cupped his hands and said, "You flatter me. So, what about the task?"
"Since you've already commanded your subordinates' obedience, you can take on the task yourself."
Le Xun sideways, a question lingering in his mind.
The usual task is to lead subordinates in a group mission, so how did it become an individual task?
The Grand Commander tossed out a scroll, which Xiao Hei caught and opened.
A person is marked on it.
Moreover, this person had appeared in his fragmented memories before.
He was Shang Yin, the chief array master who once designed and set up arrays for the Demon King Domain. Although his strength was only at the Early-Stage God Emperor Realm, he was able to set up arrays at the Half-Step Divine Lord level!
Perhaps it was because some formations required Shang Yin's guidance that he wasn't killed by Mo Ji to silence him.
The Grand Commander stared intently at Xiao Hei's expression, but couldn't discern any change. He continued, "Commander Hei Mu, what you need to do is a bit difficult. There are two ways to complete it. The first is to extract the activation method of the formation from him. If that doesn't work, then use the second method: kill him on the spot."
Um?
Le Xun nearby, asked in confusion, "Didn't they keep saying not to kill Shang Yin? Why are they saying this now...?"
The Grand Commander glanced at Le Xun and explained, "His continued lack of cooperation has completely worn down the Devil Master's patience. Therefore, we have decided to execute him."
Le Xun hesitated for a moment, but could only sigh.
The Grand Commander looked at Le Xun and said sternly, "I know who you admire. You must not show this kind of emotion in front of outsiders, understand?"
Le Xun was an exceptional talent, both in terms of leadership and innate ability.
The president didn't want anything to happen to him.
Xiao Hei glanced at Le Xun, then put away the scroll and deliberately asked, "How strong is this person?"
The Grand Commander smiled and said, "If he's not as Le Xun, then he's certainly not as good as you either, but be careful of his formations."
Xiao Hei nodded.
He then glanced directly at Le Xun and said, "You manage them for now, until I return."
After saying that, he walked towards the direction indicated on the dossier.
The Grand Commander watched Xiao Hei's departing figure, his eyes narrowed, remaining silent for a long time.
Le Xun also felt that the Grand Commander's attitude towards Hei Mu was a bit abnormal, but he couldn't figure it out, so he had to give up.
A small courtyard nestled in the woods on the edge of the Demon King Main City, surrounded by trees, with willows drooping over the courtyard walls.
There was no one around the courtyard, only wisps of smoke rising from within.
It was very quiet, with only a gentle breeze rustling through the ancient willow trees, bringing a sense of peace to the heart.
However, this silence was accompanied by a barely concealed murderous intent.
Xiao Hei walked along the forest path, each step landing on the bluestone. Sometimes he would pause briefly, and sometimes he would take a detour.
It looked no different from walking normally, but Xiao Hei's route perfectly avoided those murderous intent.
If you walk in a straight line.
They may have already fallen into the surrounding killing formations.
Before long, the small courtyard came into view.
Xiao Hei stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard gate.
Bang bang...
The courtyard gate opened automatically, and sounds came from inside.
"Come in."
His voice carried an barely suppressed surprise and disbelief.
Xiao Hei walked in and saw an elderly man with white hair tending a fire. Something was cooking in the pot, and a fragrant aroma was wafting from it.
The old man looked at Xiao Hei with a surprised and uncertain expression, and said, "There are only two people who know how to perfectly avoid my formation. One is in the Demon Prison, and the other's whereabouts are unknown. Who are you?"
Xiao Hei didn't answer, but instead looked around.
But the old man waved his hand and said, "There are no other spies around."
As a formation master capable of setting up Half-Step Divine Lord level formation, how could he possibly have escaped the old man's notice unless God Lord Realm expert was present in person? And who could withstand Shang Yin's formation attack?
Therefore, all Mo Ji could do was send people to stake out the forest to prevent it from leaving.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei nodded, and his expression changed at that moment.
Strands of bloodline power and Dark Demon energy swirled slightly around his body!
Upon seeing this, the old man's pupils contracted sharply, and then he knelt down with a thud, his face beaming with smiles and his eyes filled with tears. He cried out, "Your subordinate, Shang Yin, pays respects to Your Devil Master!"
Xiao Hei slightly raised his hand, and demonic energy lifted the old man, then shook his head and said, "I am not the Devil Master yet."
Not yet, but it will be from now on!
Upon hearing these words, Shang Yin trembled with excitement!
"It is my honor that Shang Yin's aged body can still be used by the Devil Master in his lifetime!"
"Besides, how could that beast Mo Ji be worthy of sitting on the throne of the Devil Master?"
At this point, Shang Yin's face flushed with anger, and he shouted, "Why did our Demon King Domain ever have to submit to others? Why did we have to become the lackeys of other forces? Now, two Divine Lord- level powers are secretly controlling the Demon King Domain, and the Demon King Domain's pride and spirit have long been crushed under the rule of that beast, Mo Ji!"
As they traveled, Xiao Hei also noticed this problem.
He nodded and said, "He won't be able to sit here for long."
Shang Yin laughed loudly, then asked, "What is the Devil Master's current identity?"
After Xiao Hei explained his plans and intentions...
Shang Yin nodded in sudden realization.
He then said solemnly, "Then please, Devil Master, kill me."
