Chapter 322 - Anxious Helios

A series of footsteps made the general recover from his shocked state. He put on a calm look and glanced at the entrance of the meeting room.

A few soldiers came inside the room with anxious looks.

"General, has something happened? We heard you shouting just a few moments ago." One soldier asked worriedly.

The matter about Jiu Shen was too sudden and mysterious and it wouldn’t be good if he told his subordinates about it. They would only become more restless if they learned it. With that in mind, the general shook his head and said in a commanding tone. "It’s nothing. Go back to your posts and bolster our defenses! Tell the patrolling guards to stay alert!"

"Yes, general!" The soldiers replied as they saluted.

After the soldiers left, the general stepped out of the room and stared at the crimson sky. "Who could he be?" He muttered with a contemplating look.

In Demon Lord Burlock’s residence, dozens of demons can be seen going out of his mansion and they seemed to be in a hurry. All of these demons were servants of Demon Lord Burlock and at this moment, they were all wearing anxious expressions.

"Where is the Demon Lord? He disappeared without notice. This did not happen before... Where is he?" A demon dressed in heavy metal armor muttered with a frown. This demon was Burlock’s right-hand man, Helios. He had a pair of wings and a muscular body. There was also a sharp horn on top of his head.

"Commander Helios, we still haven’t found the Demon Lord. Maybe, something bad happened to him..." A demon soldier reported to Helios.

Heading that, Helios’ face darkened and he immediately glared at the demon soldier. "Insolent fool! Aside from the Demon Ancestor, no one else in Morlon City can harm the Demon Lord! Not even the four other Demon Lords!" He slapped the demon soldier, sending him flying more than tens of meters away.

"A bunch of trash!" Helios shouted angrily.

Just then, another soldier suddenly came running towards him with an urgent look.

"Commander Helios! We have seen the Demon Lord! He...he is..."

The eyes of Helios lit up and he immediately grabbed the demon soldier and asked. "Where is he? Where is the Demon Lord? Spit it out!"

The soldier cried out in pain under Helios’ strong grip, but he still answered. "He... He is inside a building that... that looks like a blooming flower. We tried to ask him what he was doing there, but those ladies...they suddenly- Ah!" Before he could even continue speaking, he was already dragged by Helios.

"Quick! Lead the way! We must go there immediately! How dare those people confine the Demon Lord! I’ll beat them up!" Helios said angrily.

The demon soldier wanted to say something, but seeing the commander’s expression, he knew that talking to him was useless right now. Without any options left, he could only shut his mouth as he led Helios towards the lotus building that they had discovered.

’Could you at least let me finish my words...’ The soldier thought speechlessly.

"Meimei, why did you chase those guys away?" Xiaoxiao asked the girl beside her as she chuckled lightly. She was a girl with short black hair and a pair of hazel eyes. She looked just like a normal teenage girl if not for the blue scales on some parts of her body.

Meimei harrumphed coldly as she said in disdain. "Those guys are too rowdy. They are clearly here to cause trouble. Their ugly faces also made my mood terrible. Hmph!" Meimei had a shoulder-length green hair and her pair of chestnut brown eyes gleamed with arrogance.

"What if they come back here with more men?" Xiaoxiao asked with a smile.

"Come back? Then let them come here! I will have them clean the garden outside!" Meimei replied scornfully. She was confident of her own strength and those demons that came earlier were not even as strong as Burlock, so how could they threaten her?

"This little sister, how about you let me handle my men?" Burlock who was standing at the side suddenly said. A crooked smile hung on his face as he stared at this pair of mischievous little girls. The two of them had actually beaten up his subordinates right under his nose, but in fear of Jiu Shen’s might, he could only watch as the two frail-looking girls smack his men.

"They are your men? Why didn’t you say so earlier? I would have not beaten them up if I knew that they were your people." Meimei scolded him with a righteous look.

"This... You... That... Sigh. Nevermind. Just let me do the talking if they come here again." Burlock wanted to talk back to the girl, but when he saw her mysterious smile, he could only shake his head helplessly.

’You’re pulling my leg! You are not even allowing me to explain! Dammit!’ Burlock gritted his teeth as he cursed in his heart. If not for Jiu Shen’s unparalleled might, he would have already taught this girl a lesson even if he would end up being beaten up by her friends.

Seeing Burlock’s darkening expression, Xiaoxiao who was listening to their conversation snickered. She tried to suppress it, but with Burlock’s acute senses, how could he fail to notice it? However, he chose to turn a deaf ear to this.

"Lord Burlock, Helios is here to save you!" A loud voice suddenly echoed in all directions, stunning Burlock and the two little girls.

"Helios?" Burlock muttered in surprise as he looked beyond the gates. From there, he saw a muscular demon with a pair of wings walking towards the lotus building with large strides. Behind him was a large group of demons wearing battle armors.

"It’s them! They came back! They even brought more men with them! Hmph! Ugly demon, go and tell your men to shut up, or else I’ll beat them into submission!" Meimei stared at Burlock with sharp eyes as he threatened him with a look.
