From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 277 Demon Kingdom
"I forgot to ask Qingque for you."

Coming out from the backyard, Lin Yan led Meng Yuan outside, "Eat first!"

When he arrived at the door, he saw a captain guarding the door. He was from the Demon Suppression Bureau and was usually under Lin Yan's command.

"Let's go to Fengxianlou and order a table of first-class food." Lin Yan touched his waist, then looked at Meng Yuan again and said, "Junior brother, lend me some money. I'm short of money recently."

Last time, it was the sixth-rank bald donkey Jie Kaiping who asked for money, and now it was the sixth-rank Lin Yan who asked for money. Meng Yuan felt a little dazed.

This senior brother is a captain of the Demon Suppression Bureau. He must have a lot of money, both dirty and dirty. How come he is short of money?
Meng Yuan had no choice but to take out a silver note.

Lin Yan took the banknote and asked, "Where did you rob it?" He gave the banknote to the captain and explained to Meng Yuan, "Your sister-in-law wants to manage the money. She also wants to open a pharmacy. She didn't leave me a single penny!"

He felt wronged and sweet, and kept sighing, "Unfortunately, in my opinion, Yao Niang is not cut out for business. How can she do business with a cold face every day? You should talk to Qingqing more and let Qingqing teach her."

"..." Meng Yuan didn't know what to say, so he asked, "Did the mission go smoothly this time?"

Last time they parted, Lin Yan took him, a boy and a girl, to go north. Now they have returned safely and brought Yuan Yaoniang back home, which shows that the mission was completed well.

"It's OK. Zhou Ying was slightly injured." Lin Yan lowered his voice, "You will have such missions in the future."

"Which one?" Meng Yuan asked curiously.

"The barbarians in the north are restless," Lin Yan pointed to the north and whispered, "I took some people to assassinate the two leaders."

"What grade?" Meng Yuan asked.

"Two sixth-grade ones." Seeing Meng Yuan's surprise, Lin Yan explained, "That kind of stuff is far inferior to Xie Yisheng. Just be careful and you'll succeed."

At this point, Lin Yan became interested, and he began to talk about the details of his trip to the north.

After talking for a long time, Lin Yan said seriously: "When you go to Ping'an Prefecture this time, I guess you will do this kind of thing. But there are many bald donkeys in Ping'an Prefecture, and they are more capable."

"Be good to Wang Er." Lin Yan said seriously, "She has been a widow for many years. If you are good to her, you may get endless benefits."

"Isn't she unmarried? Why is she a widow?" Meng Yuan asked puzzledly.

"If I don't get married, wouldn't I just be a widow?" Lin Yan said as a matter of course.

"..."Meng Yuan didn't know what to say.

The two of them chatted nonsense for a while, and then the captain led his people to the banquet and set up a round table.

Lin Yan and Meng Yuan went to invite Yuan Yaoniang, Nie Qingqing, and Jiang Tang, and then the banquet began.

"Have a drink. Besides loving money, our master also likes to drink." Lin Yan took out a jar of wine and poured it for everyone.

Everyone drank a cup and then the banquet began.

After dinner, Lin Yan finally mentioned the matter of Elder Qingque.

"Elder Qingque was also involved in the Qingguangzi incident?" Yuan Yaoniang was very surprised.

"Both have the word 'Qing' in them, so there must be some interaction between the two." Lin Yan vowed.

Yuan Yao Niang glared at Lin Yan, then looked at Meng Yuan and said, "I didn't want to talk about the matter of the Demon Country, but since Xiangling values ​​you, it doesn't hurt to talk about it."

At this point, Yuan Yaoniang paused for a moment before saying, "In fact, your Demon Suppression Division knows more about the affairs of the Demon Country than I do. You will find out if you look through the files one day."

Yuan Yao Niang didn't say anything more and started talking right away. There are endless mountains in the south of Qing Kingdom, which is the territory of the Demon Kingdom. However, the border between Qing Kingdom and the Demon Kingdom is not very clear, after all, there are too many bordering areas.

There are many exchanges between the two, including business exchanges, discussions, and even feuds. Whether they live in harmony or fight each other depends on whether the demon king of the neighboring land is close to humans or hates humans.

The Demon Kingdom is vast and boundless, with countless demons, big and small, who all worship the One-Eyed King as their leader.

The One-Eyed King is a demon cultivator, and it is said that he is a second-grade great demon. Some also say that he has not yet reached the second-grade realm, but the more he cultivates demons, the stronger he becomes. The might he has displayed as a third-grade demon is already able to suppress the third-grade demons of other paths.

In addition, there are twelve guardians under the throne of the One-Eyed King, also known as the Twelve Demon Kings and the Twelve Elders.

The terrain in this endless mountain range is special. The One-Eyed King practices a feudal system, which means that the twelve demon kings all have their own mountains, and they are not fixed.

The twelve demon kings are not united, and sometimes they fight to the death without much logic.

Among these twelve demon kings, the paths they cultivate are different. Half of them follow the path of warriors, while the others follow the Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism schools, as well as the demon cultivation path.

“Outsiders don’t know that, in fact, there are no twelve demon kings now. Three of them were taken away by people from the Buddhist kingdom, and one died of old age. So only eight demon kings are left.” Yuan Yaoniang said with emotion.

"Guide?" Meng Yuan asked curiously.

Jiang Tang also stared at Yuan Yaoniang intently, while Xiangling widened her eyes and pricked up her ears.

"It means being robbed and becoming someone else's mount. Bald donkeys are most likely to do this kind of thing." Lin Yan said with a smile.

"What realm are they at?" Meng Yuan asked curiously.

"As for the so-called twelve demon kings as guardians, the rule set by the One-Eyed King is that only those at the fourth level can be guardians, but in fact there are a few at the fifth level to make up the numbers." Lin Yan said.

"What is the realm of this Qingque Elder? What are his abilities? What is his origin?" Meng Yuan asked again.

"The Endless Mountains are vast, and the places where the various demon kings live are very different. I have only heard about some things." Yuan Yao Niang thought for a moment, "Elder Qingque is the sixth demon king under the One-Eyed King, and he is at the fourth level of demon cultivation."

"What makes a demon?" Meng Yuan asked.

"I don't know." Yuan Yao Niang shook her head slightly and said, "I haven't seen it. I heard that it was a blue bird that turned into a demon. It was good at flying high and escaping very fast. It was once a messenger for the One-Eyed King."

"It's a fourth-grade bluebird." Lin Yan spoke up at this time, "I heard Wang Er mention it, saying that the bluebird is at the fourth-grade realm, good at transformation, but I don't know its nature."

Meng Yuan glanced at Lin Yan and thought, don’t you already know this? Why do you have to ask Yuan Yaoniang? Are you using your brothers as a raft to please your wife?

"What about the other demon kings?" Meng Yuan's martial arts progress was so rapid that his current strength did not match what he knew.

Yuan Yao Niang did not hide it. She stroked Xiang Ling's head and said, "I come from Elder Hua's seat. She loves to travel around the world and is rarely seen. She only returns to her hometown once every few years or even decades."

Meng Yuan knew about this matter. When he first went to Beijing, he heard Lin Yan mention it. He said that the elder Hua was named Hua Suzhi, and was a roe deer that turned into a demon.

"I'll invite the old man to have a drink at the wedding later." Lin Yan gave a smiling face.

Yuan Yaoniang didn't pay much attention and went on to talk about the other demon kings.

There are now only eight demon kings left under the One-Eyed King's throne, six of whom are at the fourth level, and the remaining two are fifth-level great demons.

However, these six demon kings are extremely powerful, and the One-Eyed King has never cared much about them. He would only summon them when something big happened. Otherwise, no matter it is internal strife, fighting with others, or doing business with humans, he would not care much.

"You want to seek revenge and find out the truth, but your level is far from enough." Yuan Yao Niang gently stroked Xiangling's little head, looking down at Xiangling with a gentle voice, not treating her coldly like she did to Lin Yan.
