I seized the Demon Emperor

To some extent, for the warriors of the Central Plains, the fall of the Great Xia Dynasty and the transformation of Yujing City into Luoyang City had a blow to the morale of the people, but it was not a big change.

To be precise, the Demon Emperor killed the Sword Emperor, showing a strength far beyond the past, and then led the Demon Cult to sweep the alien races across the Central Plains, which may have touched everyone more than the fall of the Xia Dynasty.

But even so, some people who were unwilling to succumb to the Demon Cult still had hope in their hearts.

This last hope lies in the Sword Pavilion and the Sword Emperor Tao Wangji.

He has been famous for decades and has always been the number one master of the Central Plains.

That small attic located in the remote mountains of Bazhou has been the number one martial arts holy place in the Central Plains for so many years, and the mainstay in everyone's mind.

It seems that as long as the Sword Pavilion is still there, everything is still hopeful.

Even if the demonic atmosphere is overwhelming, there is still an opportunity to set things right.

The reason why the Demon Emperor's killing of the Sword Emperor was a bigger blow to people's confidence than the Demon Emperor's destruction of the Xia Dynasty was that the Demon Emperor showed a stronger strength than the previous decisive battle with the Sword Emperor.

But as the last candlelight in their hearts, everyone was more willing to keep a glimmer of hope, hoping that the Sword Emperor Tao Wangji would make great progress like the Demon Emperor after the decisive battle on the plateau.

In this way, there would be another chance to compete for the victory.

Therefore, although the clothes on the vast land of Shenzhou are now silent, everyone is trembling under the rule of the Demon Cult.

But many people still have hope in their hearts.

For this mentality, the high-level strongmen of the Demon Cult are as clear as seeing fire.

Chen Luoyang's view on this is...

It is indeed a bit embarrassing for Xia Emperor Li Yuanlong to be the emperor of the nine-five. No wonder he is so deliberate and holds back.

If you want to find a person in the vast land of Shenzhou who has the most complicated impression of the Sword Emperor Tao Wangji, I'm afraid it must be Li Yuanlong.

On the one hand, he borrowed the other party's power to help him fight against foreign races in the north and the demon cult in the south.

On the other hand, as long as the other party was there, his words would not be the most counted.

I am afraid that only Li Yuanlong himself knows the taste of this.

Strictly speaking, compared with their prestige, Sword Emperor Tao Wangji and Jiange have actually been very low-key in their style of doing things, and they have shown great respect for Xia Dynasty and Li Yuanlong.

To a certain extent, it creates a situation where Emperor Xia is always the co-lord of Shenzhou, and the Sword Emperor is more like a spiritual pillar.

But unfortunately, for the emperor, broad-mindedness only applies to those who submit to them.

The more ambitious the emperor, the more so.

Of course, there are some differences between people.

Unfortunately, Li Yuanlong may have an especially strong ambition and desire to rule in this regard.

Perhaps, if Sword Emperor Tao Wangji died first and Li Yuanlong died later, he would have some different feelings before his death.

But that is destined to be just an unverifiable hypothesis.

As for the vast land of China now, the Great Xia Dynasty was destroyed, and the Sword Emperor was still in the world, so everything had not yet fallen to the worst.

Many people still had hope in their hearts.

But this time, this confidence seemed to have been shaken.

The signboard of Jiange was directly removed by the Demon Cult.

Although Lao Shou did not know the real purpose of his leader's search for the Sword Emperor, he accurately grasped the intention of the great leader Chen to make the matter known to the world.

Therefore, whether he went to Jiange to remove the signboard or left Jiange with the plaque to the East China Sea, he was extremely high-profile all the way.

From Bashu to Penglai, he crossed the land of the Middle Earth all the way.

The matter was a sensation, and almost everyone knew about it.

Not to mention the martial artists, even some secular people who like excitement knew about it.

So the whole vast land of China soon became boiling.

Although no one dared to oppose or question under the majesty of the Demon Cult, there was a lot of discussion.

Everyone was guessing, what exactly did the Demon Cult want to do?

Does this action mean that the Sword Emperor is going to return to the Middle Earth?

And is the Demon Emperor's action a declaration of war to the Sword Emperor?

After a month, is there going to be another decisive battle between the Sword Emperor and the Demon Emperor?

While everyone has different opinions, some people are in extremely complicated moods.

The Sword Emperor's return to the Middle Earth is of course a good thing, and they have been looking forward to this day.

However, the Demon Emperor's reaction, taking the initiative to issue a declaration of war, shows sufficient confidence, which makes everyone feel uncertain about the outcome of this duel, and they are worried about gains and losses.

Many people's mood at this moment is really mixed.

At this moment, outside Luoyang City in Yuzhou, located in the center of Shenzhou, there is a middle-aged man looking far to the east.

There, Lao Shou just left in a high-profile manner.

The middle-aged man looked calm and silent.

He touched his right arm with his left hand.

There, there was no right hand, but a wound broken at the wrist.

The wound has healed, but the middle-aged man feels as if it is twitching constantly, and feels a sharp pain.

This pain reminds him of the time when his wrist was pinched off by the closed void portal.

The middle-aged man remained calm, walked slowly, and walked into Luoyang City as if nothing had happened.

…………

After hearing about the commotion made by Lao Shou, Chen Luoyang nodded with satisfaction.

This is exactly what he wanted to achieve.

On the one hand, it is convenient for the guy named Cheng Huyuan to hear the news.

On the other hand, it also makes it impossible for Sword Emperor Tao Wangji to avoid this battle.

As long as his injury is not serious, he will not refuse this battle.

No matter how low-key, upright, or peaceful he is, he is still a fourteenth-level swordsman, the best swordsman in Shenzhou for decades.

If he doesn't fight against such a provocation while his injuries are not a problem, then he won't be able to pick up a sword in the future.

But will Cheng Huyuan take the bait?

Chen Luoyang is not sure about this.

The other party may wait for another wave.

This time, the Demon Emperor and the Sword Emperor are still on the sidelines in the decisive battle.

Anyway, the Demon Buddha is always there, and the Black Lotus Buddha Realm continues to encroach on the surrounding areas. Sooner or later, the Demon Cult will have a battle with them.

If Cheng Huyuan is particularly conservative and cautious, he may still observe secretly this time.

Chen Luoyang still has a limited understanding of this person's temperament and style, and can only infer and guess based on some previous behaviors.

If the owner of the broken hand is really Cheng Huyuan, then whether his hatred for Chen Luoyang will affect his judgment depends on the other party's personality, which may result in completely opposite results.

Judging from his current performance, Chen Luoyang tends to estimate that the other party will act more cautiously.

This time, the battle with the Sword Emperor may not be able to lure the other party to attack.

However, as long as he can lure him to watch the battle, for Chen Luoyang, the goal will be achieved.

The more cautious the other party is, the less likely he will miss this opportunity to personally determine the strength of the great leader Chen.

While thinking, Chen Luoyang received a secret report from the Azure Dragon Hall.

There are traces of unidentified masters in Luoyang City.

After receiving the news, Chen Luoyang's face did not change.

Interesting, is this Cheng Huyuan also trying to scare the snake?

Chen Luoyang guessed that the other party wanted to test what the great leader Chen cared about and what he didn't care about.

So far, the impression that the Demon Emperor has given to the outside world is that he is arrogant, self-centered, domineering, and cruel.

His majesty is very heavy within the Demon Cult, and his subordinates dare not make mistakes, otherwise they may suffer severe punishment.

From an emotional point of view, apart from Ying Qingqing who seemed suspicious at the beginning, outsiders can't see who the Demon King cares about or favors.

Ying Qingqing is missing now, and her whereabouts are unknown.

After Cheng Huyuan learned about these situations, he inevitably formed an impression of Chen Luoyang as a dictator.

For such a person, it is obviously unrealistic to expect him to pay the price of the "Life" Heavenly Book to exchange for someone's life.

There is no suitable target for hostage threat.

If you want to weigh between the "Life" Heavenly Book and something, perhaps the entire Demon Cult foundation can be counted?

But if you want to destroy the Demon Cult, it is not just one or two places.

There is no point in slaughtering all the way, and it is easy for Chen Luoyang to find and intercept them.

Cheng Huyuan is now deliberately testing to see what Chen Luoyang cares about and to what extent.

However, if he is really a cautious person, he will not act easily, at most he will touch the water like a dragonfly and leave.

He was also worried that some things were traps set up by Chen Luoyang to lure the enemy into the trap.

In Cheng Huyuan's mind, his biggest advantage now was that the enemy was in the open, but he was in the dark. Chen Luoyang might have known that there was an enemy like him, but he had no idea about him.

As long as he was careful, there would be no problem.

If he showed a little false flaw, the Demon Cult would be alerted and nervous, which would make it easier for him to observe the movements.

Unfortunately, the facts were a little different from his thoughts.

Chen Luoyang did not know much about him, but not that little.

Some of Cheng Huyuan's small movements, in Chen Luoyang's eyes, made his thoughts and ideas more and more obvious.

Relatively speaking, he knew the least about his strength and martial arts... Chen Luoyang pondered in his heart.

The current scene was interesting.

On Cheng Huyuan's side, he could roughly grasp the opponent's movements and ideas, but he knew nothing about his unique skills.

On the side of the Demon Buddha's descendants, they had a general understanding of their unique skills, but other situations were blank.

There is something strange about the Black Lotus Buddha Realm. People under the Black Lotus are not in a good state of mind. It is difficult for the demon sect members to interrogate the information directly from the people. They also have to be careful not to expose themselves or be deceived by the demon sound. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to obtain information in the Black Lotus Buddha Realm.

Chen Luoyang can only wait slowly now.

However, the latest news is quite intriguing.

The expansion of the Black Lotus Buddha Realm has slowed down.

The power of the Black Lotus has not weakened, but its pace has slowed down.

This is more like a change in its decision-making, not as urgent and radical as before, but tends to be conservative and stable.

The turning point is the battle with Yan Mingkong.

Does this mean that Yan Mingkong's results exceeded the original judgment, or has the idea of ​​the Demon Buddha lineage changed?

Did the news of the battle between the Demon Emperor and the Sword Emperor also spread, making the other party also think of watching the fire from the other side?
