The flames in the brazier flickered, and the dim firelight dispelled the surrounding darkness, bringing a little brightness.
In the dungeon, a one-armed tiger demon who looked like a general was commanding several other demons who were using hands and feet to carry the “unconscious” Bai Qiuran into a cell at the bottom of the dungeon.
“Ohhhhh, wait a minute.”
Just when several demons held Bai Qiuran up and prepared to handcuff him with shackles in the dungeon, the one-armed tiger demon suddenly stopped them.
“Handcuff him upside down.”
The tiger demon walked to the brazier aside, reached out, and picked up a bright red soldering iron from inside.
“Could it be…”
Several demons glanced at each other, and then hesitantly said:
“General, isn’t it okay… the king hasn’t even ordered us to hurt him.”
“But the king also never said that we can’t do anything against him.”
The one-armed Tiger Demon looked at the hot red soldering iron, his face was full of revenge pleasure, he raised his only arm and said:
“Did you see it? Just because of a sword beam of this damnded Sword Patriarch, I lost my arm and almost lost my life. Now that he finally fell into my hands, let me imprint him with several slave brands!”
“But……”
“Stand aside! If you dare not do it, don’t get in my way!”
Seeing his demon subordinates still hesitating, he blasted them out impatiently.
After closing the cell door, the tiger demon used his own arm to handcuff Bai Qiuran carefully. Looking at Bai Qiuran, a grinning smile appeared on his face, then he walked away, got to the brazier, and picked up the soldering iron.
“What is this?”
Someone asked behind him.
“Huh, don’t you understand? This is a punishment we North Demon gave to war slaves. Once marked by this iron, it would be equivalent to revealing his status as a slave in the North Demon. No matter what he does in the future, this mark of humiliation can’t be taken off!”
The tiger demon in a good mood subconsciously held up the soldering iron, bragging about it, and then he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Turning his head, a white-haired young man who had already woken up and broke free from the shackles, stood beside him with a smile.
“Save–”
Before the tiger demon could scream, Bai Qiuran pointed it out, piercing his vocal cords directly, and strangling the tiger demon’s call for help in his throat.
He kicked it to the ground, then raised the soldering iron in the brazier, and said with a smile:
“Since you like this brand so much, I’ll help you… Let’s brand you a couple .”
Then, in the dark and cold dungeon room, there was a terror scream, like someone was burning alive.
A few minutes later, Bai Qiuran walked out of the dungeon with ease, closed the door with his backhand. The one-armed tiger demon general was lying on the ground with a buttock full of brands.
Wise Immortal, who was hung around his waist, couldn’t help but say:
“Who told the demon kings of the West Demon Realm before that human cultivators pay attention to cultivating their hearts and will not easily break out?”
“It’s me.”
Bai Qiuran admitted shamelessly:
“But what I’m talking about is the cultivator with a high level in the human race. Is my cultivation level very high?”
Wise Immortal was speechless. For Bai Qiuran’s special situation, if you wanted to say whether his cultivation level was high or not, it’s really subtle.
“My Soul Awareness has locked the White Bear King and Prime Minister Yun Kun. Let’s get the remaining map fragments and end this matter here.”
Bai Qiuran said:
“As long as the map fragment appears in your field of vision, you can see it, right?”
Wise Immortal replied:
“Yes, I can tell at a glance whether it is the real thing or not.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
All the way out of the dungeon, all the monsters who witnessed Bai Qiuran along the way were stunned by him before they made a sound. Bai Qiuran marched all the way in the city and first came to the room of the overlord of the northern demon, the White Bear King.
As said before, this bear, along with a group of demon kings under him, was drinking and having fun here, but the Ape King and Dragon King on Prime Minister Yun Kun’s side were not here.
The folk customs of the North Demon Realm seemed very sturdy. The White Bear King and the Flying Tiger King were already drunk. They hugged a beautiful demon girl who was wearing only a fur tube top and shorts and laughed with a flushed face.
The seat of the White Fox King was empty, but wine and food have been prepared for him. Next to that seat, the Kui Bull King was dazzling, ignored the few strong men sitting next to him, staring at the food on the table.
Bai Qiuran stood outside the door, thinking for three seconds, then pressed his palm to the door.
The Qi inside his body boiled and gushed out, turning into an extremely hot, inextinguishable real fire, condensed in his palm.
Bai Qiuran used this high-temperature fire mark to melt the door and then condensed the unquenchable fire into a few small fire beads, all of which penetrated through the palm-sized hole, and the fire beads condensed from palm strength passed through. The small hole made a crisp sound of “dong dong dong”.
............
Outside the city, the war was still fierce.
Even if Su Xiangxue had only a few dozen soldiers left, the White Fox King still had trouble taking her down.
The demons that have persisted to the present seem to have completely completed their transformation on the battlefield. With the blessing of Su Xiangxue, they could easily kill enemies of their own level. It’s like killing chickens and dogs.
The two sides fought all the way from early morning until the sky was bright, but Su Xiangxue’s army was not reduced. Instead, the Imperial Army and the Northern Demon Army army left dozens of corpses on the ground.
However, under the continuous high-intensity battle, the people on Su Xiangxue’s side showed a little fatigue, including herself. Upon seeing this, the White Fox King hurriedly spoke to persuade him:
“Princess, let’s stop, your defeat is set. Now, only these two dozen people are left, all of whom are loyal and strong fighters. Let them die here not only would be a waste, but it will also be a pity. ”
Su Xiangxue smiled upon hearing this and asked:
“From your tone, you thought that the war is over, right?”
“Is not it?”
The White Fox King looked around for a while, and then said:
“The Sword Patriarch has been subdued, what does the princess have to rely on?… Excuse me, but the princess’s command of the army in the past few days is really not like a trained commander.”
“Yeah, you are right, I never learn how to command an army. Compared with marching, this princess is better at playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery, cooking, and sex arts. However, there is currently no leader among the West Demon. This princess also had no choice but to temporarily take the commander position… It’s not mine anyway.”
Su Xiangxue smiled and said:
“White Fox King, do you really think that you successfully subdued Bai Qiuran?”
The White Fox King was surprised.
“What does the princess mean?”
“I mean you don’t understand Bai Qiuran enough.”
Su Xiangxue lifted her chin.
“Look over there.”
The White Fox King turned his head, and suddenly there was an earth-shattering explosion from the city lord’s mansion in the city behind. The billowing smoke and pillar of fire rushed into the sky, mixed with many screams and crying.
