Chapter 546 Discussion
As you step into the City Lord's Mansion, you will see torches flickering on both sides of the bluestone road, reflecting the various shapes of demonic reliefs on the stone walls.
Gu Yeming looked around calmly and keenly sensed that there were at least five powerful auras hidden in the dark, all hovering at the disaster level.
Realizing this, he was surprised.
Logically speaking, this so-called city lord should also be at the level of a Calamity-grade powerhouse, but why are there so many Calamity-grade powerhouses in this mansion?
Moreover, news about the secret space of the universe-level demon has come, and a large number of strong people have come, including disaster-level and even boundary-level strong people. It is impossible for a mere city lord like this to stabilize the city.
Could it be that... there is someone else behind this city lord?
From this point of view, the city lord is just making a statement on the surface.
The thought flashed through his mind, and Gu Yeming's expression did not change at all. He quietly followed the law enforcer all the way.
The corridor, which was dimly lit, was very quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing.
Passing through the triple arches, a towering black palace appeared before our eyes.
The palace gate slowly opened, and a tremendous pressure came over us, carrying with it a strong smell of sulfur.
The leading law enforcer paused, turned sideways and said respectfully, "Sir, the city lord is waiting in the hall."
Gu Yeming walked in steadily. The candlelight in the hall flickered. In the shadows, a tall devil slowly stood up from the throne.
It was emitting a faint purple light all over, its horns were as sharp as crescent moons, and the twelve pairs of bone wings behind it were trembling slightly. It was none other than the lord of Yuan Gui City - the Demon King.
"Welcome, sir."
When the Demon King spoke, his voice was filled with a hint of allure, echoing throughout the empty hall:
"I heard that you got rid of the demon warrior who was causing trouble in the city. Thank you very much." As it spoke, the bone wings behind it stretched out, driving the surrounding airflow, and its tone was full of disdain for the demon:
"Those demons have only chaos and disorder in their minds. Compared with us devils, they are just a bunch of reckless men who can only shout and kill."
"Although we, the devils, have formed an alliance with the demons, we, the Abyssal Ghost City, cannot allow them to do whatever they want."
Gu Yeming's gaze lingered briefly on the Demon King, and then swept across the dark fluctuations hidden in the four corners of the palace. He responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:
"You are too kind, City Lord. That demon warrior has caused trouble for me, so I just dealt with him."
"But..." At this point, he changed the subject and asked directly:
"The city lord specially invited me here, surely it's not just to give me some compliments, right?"
The Demon King smiled and nodded in response:
"You are indeed the Abyss Humans transformed from pure-blooded humans. Even though you have fallen into the Abyss, your intelligence and way of thinking are still intact. We devils love smart people like you the most."
Having said this, it paused and continued:
"To be honest, sir, when you killed the demon warrior in the city, my spies in the city noticed you and informed me of the news about you."
"Since you were able to kill that demon warrior so easily, I guess your strength must be that of a demon king, that is, a powerful calamity-level warrior, right?"
Gu Yeming nodded slightly.
The Demon King was very satisfied when he saw this. The dark purple light around him became stronger and stronger, illuminating the hall with an eerie look.
"Sure enough!"
Its voice suddenly rose, and its twelve pairs of bone wings suddenly spread out:
"I can see that although you belong to the Abyss Humans, you have no good feelings towards the Abyss Demons. It seems that you are not one of those pro-evil people among the Abyss Humans."
"That would be great, and we can discuss the next steps."
Having said that, it suddenly raised its right arm, and streams of abyssal aura emanated from its palm, forming a piece of furniture similar to a negotiation table in the center of the hall.
The next second, its figure flashed, and in an instant it sat on the chair, making a gesture of invitation to Gu Yeming.
Gu Yeming walked forward slowly and took a seat.
Seeing Gu Yeming taking his seat, the Demon King clasped his hands together and said solemnly:
"Generally speaking, there is nothing in Yuan Gui City that is worth attracting a Calamity-level powerhouse."
"But since you have come to Yuangui City, I guess you came here because of the secret space of the universe-level demons, right?"
Seeing Gu Yeming nod in confirmation, it continued:
"Since you are a human from the Abyss, you must know that we devils and demons have always been at odds with each other, and friction often occurs. Wars are especially common. It is only because of the arrival of those insects that we have no choice but to form an alliance with the demons."
"This universe-level demon naturally perished in the war. We demons wanted to keep it for ourselves, but there was a ban that prohibited demons from entering, so we disclosed the relevant information."
"Although we are now in an alliance with the demons, once those bugs are completely driven out, we will definitely return to the confrontation stage."
"Letting those reckless men get the treasure left behind by the universe-level demons is something we demons don't want to see at all."
"We would rather destroy it than let the devil succeed."
"But this is an extraordinary period. Under pressure from all sides, we cannot adopt this strategy."
The Demon King tapped his fingertips lightly on the negotiation table, making a crisp sound, and continued:
"Although there is a ban on demons entering the secret space, according to our later discoveries, this ban seems to be effective only against demons."
"That is to say, except for the devil, any other creatures of the abyss can enter."
Gu Yeming listened expressionlessly. He already knew what the Demon King wanted to discuss with him.
The next moment, as he expected, the Demon King leaned forward slightly and said in a low voice:
"Sir, as a Calamity-level strongest Abyssian, you are undoubtedly the best candidate to enter the secret space."
"As long as you can help us obtain the core treasures left by the universe-level demons, we demons are willing to share the benefits with you, not only offering you precious magic crystals and secret books..."
"We can also arbitrarily allocate a city to you within the jurisdiction of our demons. We can also allocate an exclusive territory for you, and let you become the master of the city, dominating all the abyss creatures in the city. You can do whatever you want, and we won't ask."
"If you want to become a member of our group of devils, we can even cleanse the remaining human blood in your body and turn you into a complete devil."
"Don't worry that I will cheat. Although we devils have a particularly bad reputation, we are still willing to cooperate sincerely in the face of such a major issue."
"We are willing to sign a contract with you, and the abyss will witness it all."
After saying that, it looked at Gu Yeming earnestly, waiting for a reply.
