Chapter 707 The Great Universe
.The sun shines slantingly on the ancient castle, and the golden brilliance interweaves with the mottled stone walls to create a sense of vicissitudes of beauty. On the high tower of the castle, Rodin was wearing a black robe, his clothes swaying gently in the wind. He looked down at the panicked figure below - the city lord. The face of the city lord was full of fear and uneasiness, like a deer being stared at by a cheetah with nowhere to escape.
Luo Dan's eyes became extremely sharp at this moment, like ice picks penetrating the clouds in winter, directly hitting the deepest secrets of people's hearts. He took steps slowly, and each step seemed to carry irresistible power, making the city lord below even more frightened. Finally, Rodan stopped, his eyes locked on the city lord, and there was a trace of unquestionable majesty in his tone: "What were you doing just now?"
When the city lord heard this, his body trembled involuntarily and his lips pursed, as if he was trying to find a suitable excuse. He looked up at Rodan, his fearful eyes flashing with a cry for help. "I...I..." The city lord's voice trembled so much that he could barely hear it. He swallowed and tried to calm himself down, "I think your Excellency is not inside, so...out of curiosity, I wanted to open it and take a look. Look, I didn’t expect you to come out, sir.”
When Rodan listened to the city lord's explanation, a sneer appeared on his lips. The chill contained in that smile was enough to freeze the air around him. He slowly raised his hand, and his fingertips lightly touched the air, causing a slight ripple. When the city lord saw this, his face instantly turned pale. He knew that what awaited him next might be unimaginable punishment.
At this moment, Rodan's movements suddenly accelerated. He waved his backhand, and his palm hit the city lord's cheek like lightning. There was just a crisp sound of "pop", and the city lord's body seemed to be thrown up by an invisible force. His whole body drew an arc in the air, and with a terrified scream, his body spun around in mid-air. , as if being pulled by an invisible rope, the next second, miraculously landed smoothly, but the dust under his feet was stirred up.
The moment the city lord landed, his legs weakened and he almost fell to his knees. However, he still supported his body and put his hands on the ground. He looked up at Rodan, with fear and confusion in his eyes. The air around him seemed to freeze at this moment, and even the wind stopped blowing. Luo Dan stood there, with a trace of disdain in his eyes. He spoke slowly, with a low and powerful voice: "Remember, curiosity is often more dangerous than ignorance. Next time you dare to have such an idea, it will not be a simple lesson. It’s easy.”
When the guards around him saw this, they were all as silent as a cicada, not even daring to take a breath. They are well aware of Rodan's strength and temper, and they also understand that this mysterious visitor is definitely not a thing in the pool. The city lord was lying on the ground, not daring to move at all. He just kept nodding his head, as if he was using this method to prove his loyalty and repentance.
As Rodan turned and left, his back gradually disappeared into the shadow of the castle, leaving only the silence of the place and the breathing of the city lord. The castle once again returned to its former peace, but an indelible mark was left in everyone's heart about the powerful and mysterious Lordan and his inviolable majesty.
In the dim and solemn hall of the city lord's palace, Rodan stood on the high steps. His figure was elongated by the shadow behind him, making him appear taller and more majestic. His eyes were like flames in the abyss, shining with unmistakable light as he stared directly at the trembling demon subordinates below.
"When did I need you to take care of my affairs?" Luo Dan's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to carry a huge weight, hitting everyone's hearts hard. His words were full of irrefutable authority, which made people feel awe-inspiring, "You guys should behave yourself. Without my permission, you must not step into my territory!"
As Rodan finished speaking, a powerful force of shock spread out from him, sweeping across the entire hall like a violent storm. Those demon subordinates who originally wanted to quibble or resist, under the pressure of this force, gritted their teeth and retreated silently, not daring to make any more mistakes.
"Sir, we know we were wrong. Please spare us a lot of time. We don't dare to do it anymore!" A demon subordinate finally plucked up the courage and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy in a trembling voice. His forehead was close to the ground, as if he could feel Rodan's tolerance and compassion.
Luo Dan withdrew his gaze calmly and glanced around the city lord's palace. Suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he noticed something unusual. He took a deep breath and immediately pretended to be disgusted, as if he smelled something disgusting.
"Why are there humans? As you know, we demons have always hated humans. Why is there still a scent of humans here? Who can explain to me?" Rodan's voice sounded again, this time more cold and stern. His gaze was like a sharp sword, sweeping over every demon subordinate present one by one, as if he wanted to cut open their souls and examine them.
When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled. They knew that Rodan was famous for his dislike of humans. Once humans were discovered on his territory, the consequences would be disastrous. For a moment, the hall fell into a deathly silence. Everyone was trying to think back and find the "culprit".
"Sir...Sir, I...I don't know! I have never seen any human race!" A demon subordinate stammered, his eyes full of innocence and fear.
"I don't know either, sir, we have always been careful and cannot let humans sneak in!" Another subordinate also quickly defended.
Luo Dan listened to everyone's excuses, but the look of disgust on his face did not fade away. He walked down the steps slowly, and every step seemed to step on everyone's hearts, making their hearts beat faster. Finally, he stopped in front of a demon subordinate and stared at him with burning eyes.
——————————
"Have you noticed anything unusual recently?" Rodan's voice was low and dangerous, as if a fatal attack would break out at any time.
The demon subordinate trembled all over and almost collapsed to the ground. He tried to keep himself calm and replied with a trembling voice: "Sir... Sir, I... I really didn't notice it! I..."
At this moment, a small voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the demon subordinate's words. Rodan's ears twitched slightly, and he immediately captured the source of the sound - a hidden corner deep in the city lord's palace. A sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth, as if he had found the answer.
"It seems that some people are not honest enough." Luo Dan said, and disappeared in a flash, leaving only an afterimage and the horrified eyes of everyone. They knew that what awaited them next would be Rodan's ruthless punishment and endless fear.
Rodan's words were like thunder, exploding in the spacious and gloomy hall of the city lord's palace, and the demon subordinates who were originally immersed in fear and confusion were suddenly brought back to reality. They looked at each other, with mixed emotions flashing in their eyes - both awe of Lordan's majesty and anxiety about what might happen next.
"Sir, we captured the human race specially for you, sir!" A demon subordinate suddenly spoke. Although his voice was still trembling a little, his tone was full of flattery and flattery. "Sir, you are naturally talented and intelligent. Ordinary people, especially adults with extraordinary strength, of course need more spiritual energy to nourish them!"
His words seemed to open the floodgates, and other demon subordinates also echoed, each voice louder than the other, as if this could wash away their previous mistakes.
"Yes, sir! We captured the human race just to dedicate it to you, so that you can improve your aura!" Another subordinate said eagerly, his eyes shining with anticipation, as if he had foreseen Rodan's strength. The glorious scene after the big increase.
"Yes, sir! You are the best among our demons, and only you are worthy of possessing the aura brought by this human race!" Another subordinate shouted, his face full of piety and admiration.
Rodan listened to their words with a playful smile on his lips. He slowly glanced around and found that although these subordinates spoke sincerely, their eyes could not hide their desire for strength and coveting status. He sneered secretly in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be taking advantage of it.
"Well, I accept your wishes." Luo Dan said lightly. Although his voice was calm, it carried an unquestionable majesty. "However, I have my own plans for the human race. Don't do it arbitrarily in the future." Make a decision, do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, all the subordinates nodded in agreement, their faces full of respect and awe. They knew that although Rodan accepted their "good intentions", it did not mean that he would tolerate their arbitrary opinions.
At this moment, a demon subordinate suddenly plucked up the courage and asked cautiously: "Sir, you are very powerful. Can you tell us how to improve your bloodline? We...we all want to become Be stronger so that you can serve your lord!”
His question seemed to touch everyone's heartstrings, and for a while, echoes echoed in the hall. They all know what the improvement of bloodline means to the demon clan - it is not only an increase in strength, but also an improvement in status and a symbol of dignity.
Luo Dan looked at the expectant eyes of everyone and thought to himself. He knew that although these men were sometimes dull, their desire for strength and their loyalty to him were real. So, he spoke slowly, with a hint of mystery and depth in his voice.
"Promoting your bloodline is not something that happens overnight. It requires the accumulation of time and the blessing of opportunities." Luo Dan said, his eyes seemed to penetrate time and space, seeing the distant past and future, "But the most important thing is, You must have firm belief and unremitting efforts, and only in this way can you go further and further on the path of the demon clan, and finally reach the realm you desire."
Listening to Luo Dan's words, all the subordinates' eyes flashed with blazing light. They seemed to see the dawn of hope and felt the surge of power. They know that as long as they follow Rodan and keep working hard, they will one day reach the height they desire.
And Rodan became the beacon in their hearts at this moment, guiding them in the direction forward.
In a dark and spacious underground palace, candlelight swayed, casting mottled shadows, and an ancient and mysterious atmosphere filled the air. Luodan, a young man with extraordinary temperament and deep eyes, was sitting on a throne inlaid with gems. His face was as calm as water, but he revealed a sense of power that should not be underestimated. Surrounded by them were several attendants in black robes with solemn faces. Their eyes showed both awe and a bit of curiosity.
Luo Dan spoke slowly, his voice low and magnetic: "Why are you so flustered today? It seems that you have something important to report to me." There was a hint of imperceptible majesty in his words, making the atmosphere in the entire space more solemn. .
As soon as these words came out, the servants looked at each other, and a trace of relief after panic flashed in their eyes. One of the older servants, named Carl, mustered up his courage, stepped forward, and answered respectfully: "Sir, we were too excited just now and forgot the etiquette. In fact, we brought some "gifts" and hope they can help you."
As he said, Carl waved his hand, and saw several sturdy black-robed men walked out of the shadows, escorting several pale and ragged human captives. These human captives were full of fear and despair, but they were also confused by this sudden change.
Luodan's eyes swept over these captives, and his brows frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something. "Humans? Why did you capture them for me?" There was a hint of confusion in his voice.
At this time, another servant, named Irene, hurried forward to explain: "Sir, we captured the human race and brought it back to you! You are naturally intelligent and naturally not an ordinary person. Moreover, your strength is extraordinary, so of course you need more spiritual energy to nourish and improve." Her words were a bit flattering, but also revealed her full belief in Luodan's ability.
The other servants also echoed, as if this would make their behavior more legitimate: "Yes, sir, we captured the human race just to tell you that these humans contain rich spiritual energy. If they can be used reasonably, they will definitely help you improve your cultivation!"
After hearing this, Luodan smiled lightly, with both playfulness and deep meaning in his smile: "So that's it, you have good intentions. However, there are many ways to improve spiritual energy, why do you choose this method?"
The servants looked at each other, obviously not expecting Luodan to ask such a question. Carl took a deep breath and said bravely: "Sir, you are very powerful and we admire you very much. (End of this chapter)
