Chapter 114 Red Skull Demon Lord: I've seen you before.
Sha Yuan!
Outside the white palace, apart from the White Corpse King, the other seven deceased rulers were waiting.
While most of the deceased rulers didn't have the exaggerated size of the Mountain Corpse, they were still at least a hundred meters away.
The vast space suddenly felt somewhat crowded because of their arrival.
Of the seven deceased rulers, only the two at the very front were the size of a human.
One of them was the Queen of the Nine Netherworlds.
The other was a cold, deep red skeleton with a hint of wisdom in its eyes, its gaze fixed on the palace gate ahead.
The doors of the white palace slowly opened.
Hua Yu appeared first, followed by the White Corpse King wielding a bronze spear made of white bones.
Thus, all eight deceased emperors have gathered.
"Ku~~~"
"Waaah~~~"
"Ugh~~~"
"Hooray~~~"
Sensing the presence of living beings, the four dead kings—Mountain Corpse, Skeleton Dragon, Agate Corpse King, and Ghost King—all let out a roar.
Listen to the voice of all things and activate.
Clearly, living people are not welcome here!
Having understood the meaning behind the cries of the deceased emperors, Hua Yu frowned slightly, but his steps did not falter in the slightest, and he walked out of the palace without fear.
As he stood at the top of the stone steps, holding the tiger tally, the stone figures guarding the palace suddenly came to life.
"Clang!"
The weapons in their hands clashed together, producing a series of clanging sounds.
Looking down from his vantage point, Hua Yu could vaguely see that many of the weapons in the guards' hands were broken, as if they had just been through a major battle.
The White Corpse King stood behind Hua Yu with his spear held high. His tightly closed eyes seemed indifferent to everything around him, as if he were completely immersed in his own world.
No wonder the ancient king chose this guy as his messenger.
He didn't ask any questions, just wholeheartedly fulfilled his duties. If not him, who else could we choose?
After Hua Yu asked Jiu You to call him over, the guy saw that he was asleep and simply waited motionless beside him.
But precisely because of his personality, when Hua Yu woke up and asked him a few questions, this guy couldn't answer a single one.
He had no idea who Hua Yu was or why he was waiting for him there.
Silver hair!
This was the only information he knew.
The ancient king's task for him was simply to wait here for a person with silver hair to appear, and to ensure that no one harmed that person.
And so, the White Corpse King, carrying this perplexing mission, waited silently here for thousands of years.
Having obtained no useful information from the White Corpse King, Hua Yu could only come to meet the other deceased rulers he had never met before.
Just as the group of deceased rulers, led by the Corpse of the Mountain Peak, were in turmoil, no one noticed a hint of surprise flashing in the eyes of the cold, deep red skeleton.
It was as if they had seen something extremely incredible.
"Nine Netherworld Empress!" Hua Yu ignored the few rioting deceased rulers and shouted loudly.
Although they were extremely dissatisfied, they were temporarily powerless against Hua Yu once they saw the Tiger Tally.
Purely, it's the feeling of pent-up frustration that you can't vent your anger on.
"This servant is here."
Jiuyou swayed her waist and slowly stepped forward.
"Find one of your people who can speak to me, and have it come over and have a chat with me."
As soon as Hua Yu finished speaking, Jiu Youhou's gaze immediately fell on the red skeleton behind her, as if asking for its opinion.
Red Skull nodded slightly, then took a step and climbed the stone steps.
"Clang!"
As it approached, the stone figures on the steps one by one sheathed their weapons, watched its figure, and then returned to their original state.
Upon seeing this, Hua Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. These stone terracotta warriors were actually showing it such respect.
What a formidable Red Skull Demon Lord!
He is the one among the eight fallen emperors who most resembles the commander of the skeleton army.
However, the truth is that it is not the commander of the skeleton soldiers. The real commander of the skeleton soldiers is the Skeleton Dragon. This setting feels rather abrupt and inconsistent.
The Red Skull Demon Lord's body lacked any of the imposing adornments one would expect from a monarch, and its height was roughly the same as a human's.
If it weren't for the fact that it could stand alongside several deceased rulers, probably no one would have guessed that this ordinary being was also a deceased ruler.
Hua Yu always felt that this guy had a hidden depth.
"White Corpse King, you've come too." After saying this, Hua Yu walked back into the white palace.
The White Corpse King didn't say a word, but followed after him with his gun in hand.
The Red Skull Demon Lord followed at a leisurely pace from a distance.
The front palace is the place where the Immortal Lotus was originally located.
After Hua Yu arrived here, he sat on the stone platform and looked at the two deceased emperors behind him.
He was not the ancient king after all. Although the tiger tally did have a certain restrictive effect, whether others recognized it or not was entirely up to them, and the initiative was not in his hands.
The Nine Netherworld Queen and the White Corpse King, who are human-like, are alright. But as for the Mountain Corpse, the Skeleton Dragon, and the Agate Corpse Lord, those stupid-looking creatures might suddenly lose their minds and attack him one day.
To prevent this possibility, Hua Yu decided to find a deceased emperor with whom he could speak to, and use the tiger tally to issue some orders before quickly evacuating the area.
When Hua Yu saw the Red Skull Demon Lord approaching, he sorted out what he wanted to say, but just as he was about to speak, the other party interrupted his train of thought with a single sentence.
"I've seen you before." The Red Skull Demon Lord's voice was somewhat hoarse.
Even without the ability to hear everything, Hua Yu could roughly understand what it was trying to say.
Do you recognize me?
Hua Yu's gaze involuntarily drifted towards the White Corpse King.
"Don't look at me. I was the head of the king's guards and his strategist. There are some things that I do know," the White Corpse King explained.
Where have you seen me before?
"On a painting."
Hua Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief. Thank goodness, it was just a painting.
Who knows, maybe the painting was something the ancient king dreamed about one night.
Anyway, I couldn't possibly be a monster who has lived for thousands of years.
Although her memories of her mother are not very vivid, Hua Yu is certain that she was born from her mother's womb twenty years ago.
"What else do you know?" Hua Yu asked, his gaze fixed on the Red Skull Demon Lord.
The Red Skull Demon Lord hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "That's all. But since you have the Tiger Seal, I can obey your orders. What do you need me to do?"
happy!
Hua Yu slapped the stone platform with his right hand and stood up.
With the Red Skull Demon Lord's words, the rest became much easier.
