Chapter 173 Awe
"My lord, it's just a minor disturbance outside the city. You don't need to worry about it."
"I am the captain of the Demon Guards. I was sent by my superiors to receive you."
The man in black armor had a face full of stubble, but he looked very energetic, and his eyes were like flickering flames.
Li Yuan turned around and took a quick look.
"Does this happen often at the Demon Suppression Pass?"
he asked softly.
The man in black armor bent down slightly, looking at Li Yuan in awe.
After all, we are facing immortals and gods.
"The monster is bloodthirsty and often causes harassment."
"But the warriors at the Demon Suppression Pass can still handle this level. There is no need for you to take action."
The man in black armor guessed that this was Li Yuan's first time coming to the Demon-Suppressing Pass, otherwise, he would not have asked such questions.
I heard that the Bai Ze Bone Mirror at the city gate showed strange signs because of this young immortal god, which means that this young immortal god has good intentions towards the human race, which is a good thing.
but......
The man in black armor looked towards a certain direction in the city without leaving a trace.
In that place, there are luxurious palaces built, exuding a faint fairy air.
Li Yuan watched the fighting outside the city gradually come to an end, and the soldiers of the Demon Suppression Pass began to clean up the battlefield. He turned around and smiled faintly:
"You seem... not to want me to help?"
Faced with Li Yuan's seemingly playful smile, the man in black armor broke out in sweat on his forehead and quickly half-knelt down.
"Forgive me, Master Immortal!"
"I have no other intentions, I am just worried that the Immortal God Master is tired!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan thought silently for a while, then smiled and helped the man in black armor up.
"No need to panic. I'm just asking casually."
The man with the black sword was flattered and trembling a little.
He was afraid that Li Yuan would cripple him with just a move.
However, feeling Li Yuan's cold hands, the man in black armor calmed down a little.
He bent over respectfully, and when facing Li Yuan, he always kept his head down, not daring to raise it.
It should be said that when facing such transcendent beings as immortals and gods, one dares not raise his head.
The man in black armor stretched out his hand and led Li Yuan to the direction where the luxurious palace was built.
Li Yuan didn't notice the palace in the distance and chatted with the man in black armor.
I am also getting to know the Demon-Suppressing Pass a little bit.
Li Yuan and Zhang Tiansheng were strolling on the city wall, accompanied by a man in black armor behind them, who was respectfully accompanying them and looked quite restrained.
"I heard that someone once brought a famous ancient sword. What was it called... the Great Sorrow Sword?"
After chatting for a while, Li Yuan asked seemingly casually.
He was not clear about the attitude of the people in Zhenmo Pass towards the Fushang Sword, so he pretended to have heard it from hearsay.
The man in black armor bowed respectfully beside him, his sturdy body never higher than Li Yuan's shoulders.
"My Lord Immortal God, what you mentioned should be the Ancient Sword of Fushang."
"The one who brought this ancient sword here is the famous General Xuan Wei."
"However, General Xuanwei died outside the city after experiencing a wave of monsters more than ten years ago, and the whereabouts of the Fushang Sword... is unknown."
The black-armored man said respectfully.
Li Yuan frowned slightly, but was not anxious:
"What a great sword, what a pity."
Seeing that Li Yuan seemed to be in a bad mood, the man in black armor recalled how Li Yuan had personally helped him up just now.
After hesitating for a while, he whispered:
"Master Immortal God, I heard that this Fushang Sword may be a treasure to mortals, but to demons and even immortal gods, it is a dangerous object!"
"Before the battle, a certain immortal god wanted to... borrow General Xuanwei's Fushang Sword for a look. In the end, he was directly killed by the furious General Xuanwei!"
"This Fushang Sword seems to be able to kill even immortals and gods!"
Li Yuan raised his eyebrows and tilted his head slightly.
The man in black armor thought he had displeased Li Yuan and quickly slapped his own mouth.
"Please don't blame me for my excessive words, Master Immortal God!"
Li Yuan shook his head slightly:
"You don't need to be so reserved. I won't get angry over such trivial matters."
"I also understand that you want to remind me that the Fu Shang Sword is harmful to immortals and gods."
The man in black armor glanced at Li Yuan's face quietly, nodded slightly, and quickly lowered his head without saying anything.
Li Yuan asked a few more questions about other things and confirmed that the black-armored man's knowledge of the Fushang Sword was limited to the General Xuanwei who died in the battle.
With the guidance of the man in black armor, Li Yuan soon arrived at the palace in the city.
"This is a place where wars are ongoing, involving both humans and demons. Who came up with the idea to build such a luxurious palace here?"
"If you want to enjoy yourself, why bother entering this demon-suppressing pass?"
Li Yuan looked at the magnificent palace and sighed softly.
He already understood the general situation of Demon Suppression Pass and knew that this was one of the battlefields between the two tribes.
When it comes to ethnic movements, the struggle is often fierce and almost every possible means are used.
Every year, more than 100,000 human soldiers from all over the country die in battle here.
It can be called a giant meat grinder on earth.
But some people mobilized a large number of troops to build a luxurious palace in a huge war city.
Moreover, the palace looked very empty, as if it was not often used.
But there are a large number of soldiers guarding it.
This...Li Yuan couldn't understand.
The man in black armor bowed deeply.
"We built the palace voluntarily so that the immortal gods who came to support the human race could have a rest for a while!"
"The mortal world is hard, the city is simple; it can't compare to the fairyland, I'm sorry for the immortal gods!"
"Master Immortal has come from afar, working tirelessly for the human race and making great contributions. All the soldiers at Demon Suppression Pass respect him greatly!"
"In order not to damage your noble immortal body, I only need your word to immediately order people to rectify any dissatisfaction in the palace!"
He thought Li Yuan was being sarcastic and trying to brag that he was not a pleasure-seeking immortal.
Li Yuan was stunned for a long time.
He had already figured out a lot of information from the humble attitude of the man in black armor.
"It seems that the immortals and gods here have a very high prestige..."
Li Yuan turned around and complained to Zhang Tiansheng, emphasizing the last few words.
The man in black armor didn't dare to speak. He could only bend down and gesture to invite Li Yuan and the other man to go into the hall to rest.
The guards on the side were so nervous that they swallowed their saliva, fearing that Li Yuan would be unhappy.
Zhang Tiansheng's eyes were deep and his face was expressionless.
His eyes were colder than ice that had not melted for thousands of years.
I don’t know what I’m thinking.
He naturally understood the meaning behind Li Yuan's words.
What voluntary construction? No one would believe it if you said that.
The man in black armor had cold sweat on his forehead and his waist was shaking from being bent for too long.
Li Yuan took a deep breath and walked into the palace gate.
He didn't want to live in a palace.
But he knew that if he didn't 'enjoy himself with peace of mind', the man in black armor would probably be worried and unable to sleep.
Even many mortal high-ranking officials in Demon-Suppressing Pass would be extremely worried.
Li Yuan and Zhang Tiansheng slowly walked into the luxurious palace.
The man in black armor did not stand up straight the whole time, and kept bowing as he respectfully escorted Li Yuan and the other man in.
As Li Yuan was walking, he suddenly seemed to remember something and stopped and turned around.
The man in black armor was startled, and hurriedly lowered his head and trotted over with a respectful look.
Li Yuan shook his head and smiled lightly, then patted the black-armored man on the shoulder while he was trembling with fear.
"No need to be so servile."
"Remember, you are a warrior who protects the human race. You should stand tall and proud."
With his few light slaps, warm immortal power flowed into the black-armored man's body.
Relieve the pain the man in black armor suffered from bending over for too long.
After Li Yuan finished speaking, he turned and left, and actually entered the palace.
