At the moment she stepped into the Demon Realm, Shen Li felt that the air was three times worse than in the past, even more filthy. It was different from the usual miasma. Now there was killing and violent intent permeating the air everywhere, even the people in the capital were anxious.
Shen Li walked from the central avenue of the capital to the Demonâs Lord palace with a calm face.
The broken houses along the way told of the panic the Demon Realm suffered that day, and the white banners hung messy and deserted by the roadside, this place isnât the Demonâs capital she knows, but more like a ghost of the former city.
In front of the palace gate, the guard had a white cloth strip on his head. The expression on his face was not like the usual calmness, but a bit of strong majesty.
The guard on the left side saw someone rushing towards the palace gate, and didnât recognize Shen Li. He only raised the spear in his hand and yelled: âStand, stop!â
Shen Li frowned and said with a slightly harsh expression âWhy are you so flustered!â
The two guards were stunned. After seeing that the person was Shen Li, one of the guards twitched his mouth, Shen Li didnât know whether he was crying or laughing: âThe King⌠the lord⌠the lord is back.â His legs seemed soft. He knelt on the ground and squatted both heads fiercely, âAzure King is back! The king is back!â
Another guard stared at Shen Li silently and wiped his tears.
Shen Li clenched her fists: âWhat is this behavior? Crying on the job!â Her voice was majestic, âNo matter what happened, as a soldier of this King you shouldnât cry on duty! Donât let this king see someone who is crying and shaking the morale of the army, cut it off now!â
The two guards kowtowed.
Shen Li calmed down a bit: âWhere is the Demon Lord?â
âBack to the king, the Demon Lord is resting in the dormitory nowâŚâ
âHasnât he woken up yet?â
âNot yet.â
Shen Li only felt that her heart was burning. The Demon Lord was powerful and very good at strategy not to mention that there was always Yan Chi Rong to protect him. It is usually extremely difficult to hurt him.
This injury was so severe⌠Shen Li rushed to the Demon Lordâs sleeping hall. Before she got close, she saw the maidservants coming back and forth from the sleeping hall. The water basin in their hands fell and stained the ground bright red.
Could it be that the Demon Lord injury has worsened? Shen Li became more anxious and rushed straight into the hall.
People kept greeting Shen Li. They were officials of the Demon Realm. However, Shen Li didnât have the intention to respond to them. She went around the screen and went inside as soon as she lifted the curtain, the medical officer at the door could not persuade her.
The Demon Lordâs robes on the bed were not changed, and a little blood dripped from the neck. A medical officer pressed a clean cloth on his neck.
However, the cloth soon became wet, and the maidservant had to take it to wash it. And then replaced with a clean one.
The bloodstains on his clothes were dry. The mask on his face was not taken off, only the lower jaw was removed, and his lips were exposed to make it convenient for the servants to feed him medicine. The color of his lips revealed that his body situation was terrible.
His lips were blueâŚ
Shen Li took out the pills there were in her arms and said loudly,
âHere are a few boxes of elixir given by the Heavenly Emperor. Physicians, please come to see if there are any that can be used now.â
As soon as she said this, regardless of etiquette, the doctor on the side quickly took the pills off Shen Liâs hand, poured them out one by one, and carefully identified them, and then took one of them and put them in the mouth of the Demon Lord.
In a moment, the blue color on his lips faded slightly, and the blood on his neck slowly stopped.
âThis pill is useful! This pill is useful!â The medical officers were ecstatic, and someone rushed to Shen Li to worship, âAzure King, really is the savior of the demon world.â
âForget the flattery, the Demon Lord is hurt to this extent. Whatâs going on?â
The physicians looked at each other, and after a while, an old physician replied:
âMaster, the Demon Lord suffered only a sword wound on the neck. This wound was not critical, it just hurt the flesh. The thing that caused the devil to be unconscious⌠is poison.â
Shen Li frowned, âWhat kind of poison?â
âIt seems to be a kind based on miasma. This Poison can make people lose their minds, and then the person who was poisoned will fall into a coma. If there is a wound on the body, the wound will not heal, and the bleeding will not stop. But this kind of miasma is slightly different from the other miasma, it seems to be very harmful to the body of the demon, but it will not cause great damage to other things. This is like a poison made to go against the demons.â
Miasma poison⌠Shen Li couldnât help but think of the poison that Fu Sheng used when she was in Yangzhou City, but at that time the poison was not that powerful, and the miasma was dispersed with a little mana. Now this poison has something to do with the poison at the timeâŚ
Shen Li guarded on the Demon Lord side for a while, after eating the pill again, the blue color on the Demonâs lips faded away, and a pale white slowly emerged.
Shen Li could imagine how pale this face must be after under the mask. She looked at him quietly for a while, her fists could not help clenching: âWhere are Qing Yan and Chi Rong?â
The guard on the side replied: âThe two envoys didnât show up in this campaign.â
Shen Liâs complexion darkened. What a coincidence, it was almost as calculated⌠She was silent for a while and asked: âThose generals⌠Where are the generals who died?â
âThey are still lying down in a military camp outside the city. It may take a few days to be buried.â
âWhy?â
The guardâs voice was extremely low: âAccording to military regulations, after the war, the soldiers must be buried before the generals can be buried â
