Rong Qianzi's reaction was not unexpected by Gu Zhongyou. Since one thing has reached a dead end, and it is unacceptable to deal with it no matter how it is handled, there is only one last way left, which is to continue to procrastinate.

Ancestor worship is a wonderful excuse. Since there is such a big event as the return of the prince, it is very natural to pay tribute to the ancestors and ask the opinions of the ancestors, and no one can say anything.

At the same time, ancestor worship is a very important ceremony, it is necessary to choose a good day and auspicious day, to prepare sacrifices, and to follow many extremely complicated processes, which belongs to the kind of thing that can be delayed for as long as you want.

But Gu Zhongyou didn't really care. He didn't think that Rong Qianzi would obediently welcome back the prince, so that the prince who was controlled by the Night King and others could ascend to the throne of the Demon Emperor.

The treeman's inspection of Mu Chenghei did not take too long, but only half an hour. Rong Qianzi hastily ended the transmission, and the people in the room naturally broke up unhappily. Gu Zhongyu, Mu Chengji, Momiji, and the three of them sat opposite each other in a carriage that could sit on four people. Lan Ruoshuang had already left early.

At this time, the night is not yet deep, but the lights are on. While the outside of the city is still besieged by a frenzied tide of red-haired baboons, the initial tension and depression in the city are gone. It is generally believed that the animal tide will subside in about ten days, and the lights of the streets and alleys will begin to make the night scene bustling again, and the figures of people coming and going will become more and more every day.

Gu Zhongyou closed the curtain of the car, the lights in the car flickered, he glanced at Mu Chengji and said, "Since their plan remains the same, then we will also act separately according to the original plan." On your sister's side, I have always been relieved. It's just that your side is extremely important, and you must be cautious. ”

After Mu Chengsi came out of the City Lord's Mansion, his whole spirit was refreshed. Not only did his waist straighten, but his eyes shot a domineering brilliance, changing his previous posture of cowering in front of this Gu clan senior. Without hesitation, he replied:

"Master Zhong You, rest assured, there will never be any mistakes on the junior's side. ”

In his mind, he is already a demon emperor. But he couldn't just get people to submit with an empty name. The higher the position, the more he has to make actual achievements. Without hesitation, he showed his determination, then lifted the curtain of the car door and jumped out of the car with a slight leap.

Momiji glanced at the door curtain that was still shaking, and said disappreciatively: "This junior of your family has nothing to say, and it is exaggerated. If there is any accident in this attack on the Sleeping Mountain, the first one will happen to this son. ”

Gu Zhongyou laughed and said, "So I deliberately only leave this matter to him." He doesn't need to actually get it, even if it just takes a while. You don't have to underestimate him too much. This time, my ancient clan had high hopes for him, and even gave him an immortal breath. ”

"Tsk, what a waste!" Momiji shook his head. It's just that although something like immortal breath has incredible power, it is only a one-time consumable. It's also just right to make a temporary supplement to this kind of person who doesn't actually have much ability.

......

"Damn, I've never eaten anything so good. Gou Zhu chirped in his mouth, unceremoniously waved the knife in his hand, and stuffed the strange beast meat on the plate in front of him into his mouth.

The meal was much later than he expected. Lei Yan just asked him to wait and go to Fengyue Tower with Ji Yan and the others to go to the meeting for dinner, but he didn't say how long he would wait. Dinner time has long passed, and another hour has passed, it is almost time, he is already dizzy with hunger, Lei Yan finally received the message from the city lord, and the three of them returned to the city through the secret passage under the protective tower, and arrived at Fengyue Tower.

Although the main and deputy two formation masters and Lei Yan, the steward, were not in the tower during this time, the nine-layer pure yang prohibition of the protective tower was all unfolded, and even if there was really a large group of red-haired baboons attacking, it was impossible to break through the nine-layer defense one by one. And any layer of defense is attacked, Ji Yan will feel it. At that time, he would immediately use the Great Teleportation Talisman and instantly return to the top floor of the Sky Piercing Tower.

This is not foolproof. But this meal is related to how many blood spirit stones he can share, and he will come over no matter what. What's more, the risk of the beast tide breaking out at night is already very small.

Gou Zhu wasn't worried about what would happen to the Sky Piercing Tower, but he was careful about his own safety. Even if a large amount of blood spirit stones were hanging in front of his nose and shaking, he would first see the front and back, left and right before considering whether to take a small step forward.

He agreed with Tong Yao, Mu Tou and others, who were still guarding the city, that if there was any danger, he would immediately contact them with the sound transmission jade slip. Even if there was no danger, every quarter of an hour, he would take the initiative to contact him with the sound transmission jade slip. If this contact disappeared inexplicably, Fengyue Tower was only three or four miles away from where they were guarding the city, and Tong Yao could reach it almost instantaneously with the cultivation of the Purple Mansion.

There was no abnormality in the entire Fengyue Tower, and as far as his eyes could see, there was no abnormal spiritual line, and no formation was arranged. Blood Refining Elder Tong Feng, City Lord Kapok and the others did not wantonly release or deliberately restrain their divine consciousness fluctuations. Gou Zhu didn't believe that he was enough to make these masters put on such a big Hongmen banquet against him, so he walked in with confidence.

The three-story Fengyue Building seems to have been chartered, the first and second floors are empty, only five or six seats are placed in a box on the third floor, and there are more people than Gou Zhu expected.

Although among the mortals of the demon world, Gou Zhu eats not bad every day, but he has never been to this kind of restaurant specially prepared for demon cultivators to enjoy it.

If it is an ordinary restaurant, ten taels of silver is already a gluttonous meal to the extreme. And only blood spirit stones are collected here. These feasts have to squander several taels of blood spirit stones, which is equivalent to thousands of taels of silver. With his temperament, no matter how rich he is, he will not eat this way.

But when he actually sat here, he knew what "value for money" was. The meat here is no ordinary meat, and the cooking is not your average smoky fire.

The meat on the table is almost all the meat of exotic beasts or even spirit beasts, and many of them are transparent slices of meat cut into thin cicada wings, dipped in the spiritual liquid prepared by the heavenly treasures to eat. Tender and delicious, melt-in-your-mouth, the slightly sweet umami mixed with the just right amount of salty meat from the minerals in the spiritual fluid made him unable to hold back his appetite anymore.

Of course, he did not forget his brothers who were still keeping vigil behind the fence. So everyone was stunned, he directly took out a living jade box and swept the meat on the table into the box. Fortunately, even if he emptied all the plates that he could reach for arm's length, the maid next to him would remove the empty plates in a very short time and replace them with a full plate of delicacies.

The people who came included the Blood Refining Elders, the City Lord, the Blood Refining Tribe Patriarch, and the Formation Masters who guarded the formation, as well as the cronies they brought, about forty or fifty people.

Sitting at the chief table were the Blood Refining Elder, the City Lord Kapok, the Straw Tribe Patriarch Muge, the Red Thorn Tribe Patriarch Huang Blood, and the three formation masters stationed in the protective tower, including Ji Yan.

There was a hazy soundproof mask around the group that separated them from the rest of the seats, as if separated by a layer of constantly rippling water, so that outsiders could not see it very clearly. I could only see them staggering, talking heads and ears, lips moving, but there was no sound. Even the lips were not clear because of the fluctuations of the mask.

Originally, the mask did not exist. It seemed that after greetings and politeness, these people began to discuss how to divide the "extra" blood spirit stones, and the interference formation that someone had set up casually.

Gou Zhu sat in a certain seat below, sitting with Lei Yan, the deputy of the formation master of another protective tower, and several elders of the Blood Refining Tribe. In fact, they are all inconsequential people, as long as they wait for the people at the chief table to finish their discussions, and then each take the money, and they will get as much as they get.

In addition to eating and drinking and liquidating and packing, he kept an eye on the movements of the city lord and others, waiting eagerly for the bigwigs to negotiate a result, and then scatter the blood spirit stone. So much so that he did not dare to leave the table even though he was full. But at this time, he felt more and more strange.

"Something is wrong. He suddenly had an inexplicable warning in his heart, and said to himself.

The interior of the restaurant is magnificently decorated with gold accents throughout, with gorgeous golden tables, chairs, seats, candlesticks, and cups shining brightly in countless candle flames that are constantly flickering.

But Gou Zhu felt that between the flickering golden light in these four places, there seemed to be a layer of indescribable obscurity. He couldn't see, he couldn't hear, he couldn't touch, he couldn't say what he felt, but his divine sense could detect the existence of this breath. It's just that he felt it carefully, but he felt that it had disappeared without a trace.

He remembered very well that when he first entered Fengyue Tower, he didn't feel this way. This strange aura grew very slowly after he entered the banquet. This is like boiling a frog in warm water, and it was only after half an hour that he suddenly realized something.

Without hesitation, he wiped his mouth and got up to leave the table. He doesn't care what others do, for him, no matter how many blood spirit stones there are, they are not as important as his life.

When he turned around, there was a bewitching fox girl serving food on a golden tray, and she was not a step away from him. As she passed by, the maid suddenly left the tray with both hands, and let the plate of dishes fall from the air, but she grabbed a knife stuck in the tray and stabbed him in the neck!
