Chapter 837
Following Shi Pokong and Shi Chuankong's prostration, Xue Dihou also hurriedly knelt down, praising loudly.
Han Li's eyes flickered slightly, he just bowed slightly and bowed in the direction of the chief seat, but he didn't bow down.
Shi Chuankong knelt down on the ground, and was shocked when he saw Qing Ning.
The Demon Lord attaches great importance to rules, and it is a serious crime not to kneel down when seeing a driver.
He was so regretful that he forgot to mention this matter to Han Li in advance.
Before he could react, a cold and stern reprimand came from the side:
"Bold lunatic, he didn't even kneel when he saw the Holy Emperor!"
I saw rows of seats arranged on the left side of the main hall, and there were already two people sitting here.
Han Li's heart trembled slightly. Ever since he stepped into the hall, his mind was completely attracted by the devil, and he didn't even pay attention to the surrounding situation at all.
There are thirteen seats in the first row next to it, and the whole body is dark golden, completely different from the vermilion seats behind.
At this moment, there is a person sitting on the fifth seat in the first row. This person is a young woman wearing a purple palace dress and a purple gold phoenix crown.
On the sixth seat next to the woman in palace attire, sat a young man with a round face in a purple robe. He was not tall and had a round body. At first glance, he looked like a short winter melon.
Sitting behind the two of them was a tall demon wearing blue armor, who looked like a guard like Han Li and Xue Dihou.
Han Li ignored the round-faced young man, but looked at the woman in palace attire, with a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
This woman in palace attire was exactly the woman in white dress who prevented him from contacting the First Prince earlier.
The clear eyes of the woman in palace attire also looked over at this moment, and she didn't show any resentment, but smiled at Han Li instead.
This woman's appearance was already extremely beautiful, but she smiled at this moment, and her gorgeous demeanor was like a hundred flowers blooming. Even Han Li lost his mind for a moment, then immediately recovered and looked away.
"Li is not from the Sanctuary. This time, he came to Yeyang City only to protect His Highness the Thirteenth Prince. Although I have great admiration for the Holy Emperor ruling the Sanctuary, to me, he is just a senior. Naturally, there is no need to bow down." Han Li pondered for a while before speaking.
Although he didn't want to bow down, he didn't want to offend the devil, after all, he had to rely on this person for the crying of the soul.
"Presumptuous, how dare you argue!" The round-faced young man's expression darkened.
"Forget it, Mingzhen, these are trivial matters, don't quarrel here." The devil said lightly.
"Yes, Royal Father." The round-faced young man was greatly surprised, and immediately agreed in his mouth. After giving Han Li a hard look, he didn't say anything more.
Shi Chuankong, who was kneeling on the ground, was also taken aback, with surprise in his eyes. The expression on Shi Pokong's face didn't seem to have changed much, only the tip of his eyebrows slightly raised.
"You are Li Feiyu? Since you are not from my sanctuary, the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping is exempted. Break through the sky, pass through the sky, and you all get up too." The demon lord said calmly, neither sad nor happy.
"Thank you, father." Shi Pokong, who was still bleeding, stood up upon hearing this.
Han Li also bowed slightly again to express his gratitude.
"Chuankong, you have been away from the sanctuary for a long time this time, how about your trip to the real fairyland?" The demon lord looked at Shi Chuankong, with a smile on his face, and said.
"My father, my son has seen a lot of exotic customs in the Realm of Immortals, and gained a lot." Shi Chuankong said hastily.
"You have made a lot of progress in your cultivation this time, and it seems that this trip is indeed worthwhile. This is exactly what cultivators of our generation should do. Only by broadening our knowledge and going through many hardships can we make progress." The demon lord praised, with the last sentence But it was said to everyone in the hall.
"What the father said is true." Shi Chuankong agreed deeply, and the woman in palace attire and the round-faced young man also nodded in agreement.
"Father, it is important to cultivate diligently, but we and the royal family are responsible for the livelihood of hundreds of millions of subjects in the sanctuary, and we can't just focus on our own cultivation. In recent years, the garrisons arranged by the heavens near my sanctuary have been frequently mobilized, and it seems that there are big moves. My son implores father and emperor to conduct a thorough investigation to prevent the Heavenly Court from invading again." Shi Pokong cupped his hands and said.
"Understood, I will arrange this matter myself." The devil said noncommittally after hearing this.
At this moment, an attendant walked in quickly from outside the main hall, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said, "Report to the Holy Emperor, Your Highness, Your Eighth Highness, Your Tenth Highness, please see me outside."
"Let them all come in." The Demon Lord said, and then waved to Shi Pokong and others.
Seeing this, several people retreated to the side.
Shi Pokong sat down on the third seat, Bloody Waiting stood behind him, and Shi Pokong came to the last seat, Han Li naturally followed behind.
"Fellow Daoist Li, the royal father has a paranoid and changeable personality. Although I don't know why he forgives your rudeness just now, it's really a blessing. You must never have any conflicts with his old man again, otherwise don't talk about helping the crying soul, you His personal safety cannot be guaranteed." Shi Chuankong's deep voice sounded in Han Li's mind.
Han Li was silent for a while, then nodded silently.
How could he not know that what he just did was inappropriate, he just did something and didn't do something, making him kneel down to others, no matter what, he couldn't do it.
Seeing Han Li nodding, Shi Chuankong relaxed slightly.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, who are those two?" Han Li glanced at the woman in palace attire and the round-faced youth, and asked via voice transmission.
"That's Fifth Sister Shi Jingyan and Sixth Brother Shi Mingzhen." Shi Chuankong replied through voice transmission.
"Are they related to the First Prince?" Han Li raised his eyebrows and asked again.
"Fifth sister has a high level of cultivation and great ambitions. She is an outstanding one among us. She can be compared with the eldest brother and the third brother. Her subordinates also have a lot of power. The sixth brother and the twelfth brother are hers. Supporters." Shi Chuankong whispered.
When Han Li heard this, he was secretly surprised. At the same time, he thought back to the time when this woman prevented him from talking with the eldest prince, and wondered if there was any conspiracy in it.
At this moment, with the sound of footsteps, the eldest prince and others walked in.
"Greetings to my father, I wish my father a high level of cultivation and attain the position of Taoist ancestor as soon as possible, eternal freedom, evergreen!" The eldest prince and others bowed down and said in unison.
"Okay, okay, let's all get up." The devil showed a smile on his face, as if he was quite receptive to the first prince's flattery.
The First Prince and the others stood up as they said, walked to the side and sat down in the first seat, and the Eighth Prince and the Tenth Prince also sat down in their respective seats.
After being seated, the first prince looked around the hall, first nodded slightly to the third prince Shi Pokong and the fifth princess Shi Jingyan respectively, and finally turned his eyes and smiled at Han Li.
Han Li acted as if he had never heard of this, and the First Prince didn't seem to care, and looked away.
In the following time, people kept coming to congratulate the Demon Lord on his exit.
Those who came here all bear titles and govern the affairs of Yeyang City and even all parties in the Demon Realm.
The celebration in front of me is a bit like the early dynasty in the secular world.
Shi Chuankong kept introducing the identities of these people to Han Li, which gave Han Li a general impression of the people from all sides in the Demon Realm.
Soon, almost all the seats in the hall were filled.
It's just that in the first row, there are still only seven people including Shi Pokong, and there are no other princes and princesses here.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, didn't you say that the exit of the Holy Emperor this time is a major event for the entire Sanctuary, won't the other princes and princesses come?" Han Li looked at almost half of the vacant seats and asked via voice transmission.
"Seventh brother is currently guarding Hei Yacheng, closely monitoring the movements of the heavenly court, unable to separate himself. Twelfth brother likes to travel and has not been in Yeyang City for many years. Even the emperor has nothing to do with it. As for the second sister, fourth sister, ninth sister Elder Sister, Eleventh Sister and the four of them worshiped a Taoist ancestor in my sanctuary to practice, and I haven't seen them for many years, and I definitely won't come this time." Shi Chuankong explained.
"So that's the case." Han Li snorted.
After a while, no one appeared outside.
"Since everyone is here, let's start. During the period of my retreat, you will report in turn what important things happened in the sanctuary." The demon master knocked on the table in front of him and said.
The eldest prince Shi Zhanfeng got up first when he heard the words.
"Father, during the period of your retreat, I visited the four regions of Mohe, Yongliang, Hanyun, and Lone Star. These are the briefings written by my father. Please read them." Shi Zhanfeng Take out a jade book.
A gray shadow flew out from behind the demon lord, and a flash appeared in front of the eldest prince, took the jade book, and then appeared beside the demon lord in a flash, presenting it respectfully.
Han Li's complexion changed slightly, knowing that at this moment he could clearly see the real body of the gray figure, but it was a figure in gray clothes.
This person's face was covered with a layer of black air, his face could not be seen clearly, his body was floating, not like a body of flesh and blood, but a ghost.
"That man's name is Shadow, and he is the royal father's personal guard. No one knows his identity, nor has anyone seen his appearance, but he is extremely powerful." Seeing Han Li's gaze, Shi Chuankong sent a voice transmission Said.
"Very good, you have done a lot to clean up the bandits in these four regions." The demon master took the jade book, flipped through it quickly, and nodded.
"Sharing my father's worries, I don't think it's hard work. On the contrary, you have worked so hard to practice in seclusion. A few years ago, I accidentally got a plant of 'Yuan Kongcao' and dedicated it to my father. I hope it can be of help to you. With a movement of his wrist, Shi Zhanfeng took out a white wooden box, opened the lid, and inside was a small grass several inches long.
The whole body of this grass is silvery white, and it has nine leaves, each of which has different shapes. Each leaf is covered with clusters of silver streaks, exuding extremely strong fluctuations of the laws of space.
The shadow took the wooden box in a flash and placed it in front of the demon master.
The demon master's eyes brightened slightly, carefully looked at Yuan Kongcao in the wooden box, nodded and put it away.
"The emperor's filial piety is commendable, and he rewarded three pieces of Celestial Blue Exquisite Pills, ten sets of holy armor from the beginning of time, and ten swords of dragon and elephant." The demon master said to the shadow with a smile on his face.
The figure of the shadow disappeared in a flash, and appeared in the next moment, with a white jade tray in his hand, on which were three palm-sized crystal clear crystals, sealed in each crystal was an azure elixir, ten pieces of white armor, ten A golden long sword.
A faint medicinal fragrance emanated from the three sky-blue pills. Han Li smelled the medicinal fragrance, and the thirty-six profound orifices opened in his body immediately squirmed, as if he wanted to swallow the three pills in one gulp.
