Chapter 676: Close the Door
Outside the door stood two divine envoys from the land demons.
The leader, a seventh-realm greater demon, stood tall and imposing, his eyes sharp and piercing like those of a leopard. He was among the more powerful beings in the temple of the demons. This time, escorting the Azure Wave Lamp was a task of the highest priority.
Since the two demon kings were preoccupied with launching an attack on the Buddhist Cloud Monastery, he had been assigned to handle this task.
The other one was the divine envoy who had arrived earlier. This divine envoy's cultivation level seemed to be in the sixth realm.
When he saw Chu Liang and Xu Ziyang, he frowned.
“Why didn’t I see you two earlier?” he asked in a low voice.
"Honorable divine envoy, you have no idea what happened," Chu Liang replied smoothly as he welcomed the two envoys inside. "When those two were guarding the pavilion, some outsider snuck in and stole a valuable item. The Sea Master was furious! In his anger, he cooked both of them..."
“A valuable item was stolen?” the seventh-realm greater demon asked. “It’s not the Sea-Devouring Demonic Urn, is it?”
"Uhhhhhh..." Chu Liang hesitated, watching their expressions change. He then laughed and replied, "Of course not. Our Sea Master naturally keeps that treasure with him at all times. How could anyone steal it?"
"That's good," the seventh-realm greater demon nodded before continuing, "We have brought the Azure Wave Lamp and can proceed with the trade with the Sea Master."
“Azure Wave Lamp...” Chu Liang muttered to himself before saying, “The two of you, please follow me upstairs.”
