I Pick Up A Bunch Of Attributes

206 Unfathomable
“Test my loyalty?”

Mo Zhongxiu’s heart skipped a beat.

Given the Holy Son’s style, it was obvious that this test would not be simple. It was even possible that there would be a heavy price to pay. If she was not careful, she might die!

She knew very well in her heart…

The Holy Son was capable of doing such a thing.

“Master…” The woman took a gulp and pressed a hand to her chest. She asked nervously, “I heard that His Highness the Holy Son hates humans. Will I…”

“So what if he hates it? So what if he likes it?”

The old pangolin turned around and stared at her with a faint smile. “The Ruler is not around, and His Highness the Holy Son’s words is heaven’s will. If His Highness really wants you dead, do you think you can escape?”

The woman was horrified and speechless.

Indeed, this was not the Xuanwu Kingdom where she received endless protection and had a high status. Instead, it was the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons where she was surrounded by countless powerful living beings!

At the end of the day, she was just a registered disciple of the Great Prophet.

When the Holy Son wanted the city sealed, the entire Demon Capital was locked down for half a month. If he wanted to kill her, there was no chance of her escaping given her current strength.

“I understand.”

Mo Zhongxiu took a deep breath and nodded bitterly, “I will do my best to face the Holy Son’s test.”

The old pangolin nodded and revealed a satisfied smile. “This is more like it. However, you don’t have to worry too much. You still have some value. If His Highness the Holy Son only wants to kill you, why would he deliberately recruit you?”

Upon hearing this, the woman relaxed a little.

The old pangolin waved its claws, shook its head and walked forward. Mo Zhongxiu hurriedly followed it. Soon, they passed through the buildings of the Demon Capital and went straight into the depths of the Demon Divine Palace.

Along the way, the two of them did not deliberately hide their figures.

However, even the passersby who brushed past them did not notice them at all. It was as if nobody saw their existence from the beginning to the end.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry! As long as you have enough value, there won’t be any problems.” Mo Zhongxiu comforted herself in her heart. “I just don’t know what kind of test the Holy Son will give me…”

The internal layout of the Demon God Palace was simpler than she had imagined.

There were no maze-like structures or corridors, nor were there any familiar big and small palace halls. There was only a long and wide passageway that was tens of feet long. It was made of grayish-white rocks and it led to the end of the Demon Divine Palace.

Walking along this long passageway, one would even forget that this was actually indoors and mistakenly think that one was walking in a canyon.

However, at the end, the long road was still split into three forks.

One of them led straight to the front. Mo Zhongxiu was aware that if they continued forward, once they pushed open that stone door, they would reach the main palace hall of the ruler of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, the most supreme palace hall in the entire Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.

What they were taking now was the fork on the left. If they walked down the path, they would eventually arrive at the Demon Sacred Hall where His Highness the Holy Son lived.

Kaboom—

The pale golden door opened slowly. Mo Zhongxiu looked straight ahead while feeling restless. At this moment, she finally saw the interior of the Demon Sacred Hall clearly.

An indescribably terrifying shadow suddenly enveloped Mo Zhongxiu completely.

It was as if an invisible hand had grabbed her heart.

In the next moment, she suddenly let out a scream.

“What… what is this!?!?”

…

“Sky Snake is dead? How is that possible?”

At another corner of the Demon Capital.

Eagle Chengpeng, who had transformed into a human body with an eagle head, was sitting at a long stone table. His eyes met with the Blue-eyed Thunder Ox’s eyes, and his expression was exceptionally downcast and serious.

When the two demon kings arrived at the Demon Capital, the unusual scene in the Demon Capital immediately made them extremely vigilant.

After hearing that the Sky Snake demon king had died and that His Highness had ordered the city to be locked down, the two of them sensed something unusual. Locking down the city due to the death of a demon king was a big thing that had never happened before!

They thought about it honestly. Even if they died, it would not even cause such a scene, let alone the Sky Snake demon king who was ranked last among the top 10 demon kings?

“When this Holy Son was born, I’m afraid his head was smashed by someone!” Niu Mang could not help but mutter and curse. “How can he even think of locking down the city to do a search?”

“What I really care about is the Ruler’s attitude.” Ying Chengpeng shook his head.

“What kind of attitude can the Ruler have? The Lion King already said that the Holy Son has obtained the Ruler’s permission to do all these silly things.”

As Niu Mang spoke, he felt a little unlucky. “What do you think the Ruler is thinking? He forcefully created such a Holy Son. Can it be that in the future, he really wants to let this Holy Son rule over us?”

“No, stupid ox, haven’t you noticed?”

Ying Chengpeng paused for a moment and said with a solemn expression, “The Demon Imperial Tombs will open soon. According to the usual practice, the Ruler should have appeared by now, but he hasn’t appeared at all…”

Niu Mang’s eyelids immediately twitched.

He pondered for a moment with a deep expression before slowly saying, “You mean… the Holy Son is actually the Ruler, but then what do you think he’s after?”

Ying Chengpeng: “…Get lost.”

Indeed, he could not discuss any serious matters with this stupid ox!

“It’s very likely that the Ruler has gone missing, and the attack of that old flood dragon from the East Sea made me think of something else.” Ying Chengpeng took a deep breath and slowly voiced out the other question he was thinking.

“How many times have you seen the Holy Son?”

“Not many times. At most seven or eight times. Why? Are you jealous?”

Niu Mang counted with his hooves and looked as if there was an idiot in front of him. He could not understand why Ying Chengpeng would ask such a stupid question.

“Get lost.” Ying Chengpeng scolded mercilessly. He sneered and said, “I’ve met the Holy Son many times. Probably many more times than you.”

“Damn it, I can actually lose something like this…” Niu Mang’s expression immediately turned unhappy.

“… That’s not the point.”

Ying Chengpeng looked around and used his magical power to set up a restrictive barrier. After carefully checking around, he said the words that he was thinking.

“Do you still remember the Holy Son’s race, what he looks like, how high his cultivation is, and what he said to you?”

“Hmph, what’s so difficult about that?”

Niu Mang raised his hooves and said righteously, “Let me tell you all the details!”

He opened his mouth and his eyes widened. Two thick breaths came out of his nostrils and flew dozens of feet in the air. However, in the end, this demon king only squeezed out two words.

“I… forgot.”
