Chapter 400 The Tao is one foot high, the devil is one foot high
As they were talking, they had already passed through the city and arrived in front of the Huanghua Temple garrison.
The two toad spirits were guarding the gate. Wen Rui looked familiar with them, as if he had seen them at the gate of a demon king's stronghold many years ago.
However, the two toads were naked and holding broken pitchforks in their hands, but now they are wearing neat uniforms and holding a nano multi-functional launcher in their hands.
Wen Rui rummaged through his arms and pulled out a jade token to show to the toad soldiers guarding the gate. The two toads immediately stood at attention and saluted, then hurriedly used the intercom to inform their superiors.
The gate of the garrison slowly opened, and the protective formation lost its effectiveness.
"This place borders the Lion Country and belongs to the border defense zone. The Demon Alliance has arranged for the Immortal Level Demon King to lead troops to guard it to prevent the Lion Country from invading."
Wen Rui led the three immortals into the gate and introduced them along the way: "Now the demon race has split into two major forces. The Southern Zhanbu Continent belongs to the Demon Production Alliance, referred to as the Demon Alliance, and the Western Niuhe Continent is called the Demon Country Alliance, referred to as the Demon Alliance."
"The Lion Country is only one of the demon countries, and it is not the strongest demon country. The production alliance was established not long ago, and its overall strength is slightly inferior to that of the demon country alliance."
"There are irreconcilable ideological contradictions between the two sides, and now an east-west confrontation has gradually formed, with constant friction on the border."
As they were talking, the group had already walked into the courtyard of the garrison. A tall man wearing a black windbreaker, sunglasses and a military cap came up to them with a smile.
"Brother Wen, long time no see. What brings you here?"
The visitor spoke in a friendly tone and with a warm attitude, as if he was welcoming an old friend.
Wen Rui also smiled and said, "Brother Baiyan, how are you? Oh, it's only been twenty years, and you have transcended the tribulation and become an immortal. Congratulations."
The tall man was none other than the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, now an important official of the Demon Alliance in charge of guarding the border.
"It's all thanks to the textbook on optical principles that my brother gave me. It contains profound principles, and I benefited a lot from studying it. It turns out that light is also an electromagnetic wave. This understanding made it easy for me to overcome the thunder tribulation."
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord sighed, "After successfully overcoming the tribulation, I wanted to go to Lishan to thank you in person, but Fairy Lingyun told me that you had been deified and ascended to heaven. I thought we would never meet again for thousands of years."
He suddenly looked confused. "Oh, right? Didn't you become a deity? Why are you back to the mortal world? What happened? Did you escape back because it was too boring up there?"
Wen Rui laughed and changed the subject: "I have been assigned an unlucky task to investigate a case in Lion Country. I came to visit Brother Baiyan to ask for advice. Is there any way to help us pretend to be monsters and sneak into Lion Country?"
"Oh, that's it."
The Hundred-Eyed Demon King took off his sunglasses, stared at the three immortals following Wen Rui for a while, and said, "The few people who came with you are all true immortals, and one of them has already touched the threshold of the Golden Immortal. Although my magical powers are all in my eyes, my eyesight is far superior to that of ordinary demon kings. But your immortals are too spiritual. Even if you use your magical powers to change your form, the rainbow light of your immortal energy is as dazzling as a comet in the night sky. It is difficult to deceive the eagle eyes of the great saint of the Lion Camel Country."
"I understand this, so I'm here to ask for your help." Wen Rui said with a wry smile, "Otherwise, if I sneak in alone and my whereabouts are exposed, it will be difficult to escape without a helper."
"Don't worry, your business is my business!"
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord patted his chest and said, "I've always wanted to repay you, brother, to fulfill your past favor and get rid of a worry. Let's go in and talk, and try your jujube tea." With that, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord politely led the few people to the reception room of the garrison.
After entering the reception room, the guests and hosts sat down. The Hundred-Eyed Demon King asked the Taoist boy to serve them jujube tea. After the three immortals in heaven tasted the tea, they all felt that it was refreshing and delicious. It was a good tea that was hard to find even in heaven.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord was not stingy either. He quickly ordered his men to prepare a few packages as gifts and gave them to them to take back to heaven.
"We are here on a confidential mission this time, so it is inconvenient to reveal their identities to you, brother. Please bear with us."
Wen Rui put down his teacup and went straight to the point: "We need to go to Lion Country to investigate some things secretly, but we can't rush in openly. Brother has been a neighbor of Lion Country for many years and knows them well. Please give me some advice."
"To be honest, it's difficult!"
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord smiled bitterly and said, "Before the Demon Alliance was established, I still had some face in the Lion Country and was able to talk to the Great Sage Hun Tian. Now... we have become enemies and a fierce fight is every time we meet. If it weren't for my innate magical power being greatly improved after receiving your guidance, I'm afraid I would have died under the pair of steel claws of the Demon King Peng."
Princess Longji couldn't help but interject, "He's just a powerful bird demon. At worst, we can just go to his house and beat him into submission before interrogating him. We won't kill him, and we don't have to worry about the people behind him."
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord smiled but said nothing.
"Your Highness, don't underestimate the talents of the world. You may not be able to defeat the Great Sage Hun Tian. The speed of the Peng bird is 80,000 miles with one flap of its wings. There are very few physical cultivators faster than it in the Three Realms. If you fight against it, I'm afraid you won't be able to see its moves clearly and will be killed by its claws."
Wen Rui said patiently, "Do you think that my brother is barely at the Heavenly Immortal Realm and is afraid of the Demon King Peng because he is not strong enough? Even though you are already at the peak of the True Immortal Realm, you may not be able to withstand my brother's innate magical power that is specifically designed to break the golden bodies of gods and Buddhas!"
"If he hadn't used his magical power to reach the speed of light, he really wouldn't be qualified to guard this place and guard against the swift-as-wind Roc."
"Thank you for your compliment, brother. I am just a small immortal from the lower realm. How dare I act rashly in front of a true immortal from the upper realm?"
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord waved his hand and said modestly, "But the Great Saint Peng Demon King is no ordinary person. He practices both demon and Buddha, and has cultivated the indestructible golden body of Buddhism. His innate magical power is also known for his speed. His golden beak and steel claws can tear through the immortal body like tearing silk. He is really not easy to deal with. If a cultivator in the realm of True Immortal does not have special abilities that counteract it, he is just a dish. In fact, he feeds on real dragons. Tens of thousands of years ago, he ate 500 real dragons a day."
Tianlong corresponds to the realm of celestial beings.
True dragon corresponds to the realm of true immortal.
The golden-winged Roc is the natural enemy of the dragon clan, an ancient alien species that devours dragons like an eagle catching a snake.
Princess Longji’s realm is not low, but she has not yet achieved the status of a Golden Immortal. Her body as a True Immortal is not strong enough to withstand the Demon King Peng’s natal eagle claws.
In addition, the Demon King Peng is extremely fast. If a fight really breaks out, I am afraid that he will be torn into two halves by the eagle's claws before he can use his magic weapon.
After listening to Wen Rui's detailed interpretation of Demon King Peng's abilities, Princess Longji's expression became solemn. She couldn't help but recall the scene many years ago when she thought she was invincible, but ended up rushing to the Seven Fragrance Chariot of the Golden Spirit Mother and was beaten to death by someone.
