The half-immortal monster in charge of the fourth floor is named ‘Chengyue’.

He was not originally a subordinate of the Heavenly Demon Emperor, but an old noble in the demon world. It was only after the Heavenly Demon Emperor rose up, achieved the realm of immortals, and unified the demon world that he joined the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

There are two other half-immortal monsters like him.

Counting Huli, there are a total of eight semi-immortal-level monsters under the Heavenly Demon Emperor. Seven of them are imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower, and three of them surrendered only after the Heavenly Demon Emperor rose to power.

But among all the semi-immortal monsters, Cheng Yue is the least popular.

Because his family is too powerful and too rich.

Historically, when the old emperor fell and the new emperor ascended the throne, it was a group of ministers of the new emperor who divided up the cake that belonged to the old forces. Even if those old forces surrendered, at most they would be left with a small piece.

Who made them have poor eyesight and not stand with the right people at the beginning?

This is the so-called emperor and his ministers.

But because Cheng Yue surrendered, and because his family was so powerful that even the new emperor did not dare to touch it lightly, the piece of cake that belonged to his family's power was not taken away by the new emperor's men.

It immediately aroused dissatisfaction from others.

Due to the entanglement of interests, Cheng Yue became the most unpopular half-immortal.

According to the normal plot trend, the next step should be a confrontation between the old and new nobles. The old nobles will gradually weaken and gradually hand over the profit cake in their hands to the new nobles.

However, the Demon Emperor did not follow the normal plot, but chose to gather his troops to attack the human world.

To a certain extent, this is also a way to resolve the contradiction between the old and new aristocrats.

Once the war starts, both old and new nobles will focus on the war to avoid fighting to the death among their own people. And if the war achieves huge results, I am afraid no one will still focus on the small piece of cake in the demon world.

Although the main purpose of the Heavenly Demon Emperor's attack on the human world was to obtain immortal-level techniques and skills, he also had the idea of ​​resolving the internal conflicts between the old and new nobles.

It's just the result of the war, not the result of the Demon Emperor's imagination at all.

Forget it if you can't beat them, they actually didn't even run away, they were all deceived by the ancient magic of the God of Confusion and brought into the Demon Locking Tower.

It's okay now, don't talk about internal and external conflicts, and don't think about any entanglements of interests. It's good if you can survive.

However, these contradictions and conflicts still exist after all, so when the Heavenly Demon Emperor planned a layout and needed a half-immortal monster to guard the fourth floor, the other six half-immortals all recommended Cheng Yue.

Including the two half-immortals who, like Cheng Yue, surrendered at a later stage.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yue couldn't help but sigh.

If this were to be a battle between two forces in the demon world, he would have surrendered long ago if he was targeted like this.

But now it was a battle between the demon world and the human race, and he had been imprisoned in the demon locking tower. Even if he surrendered, the human race would not be able to release him from the demon locking tower.

Therefore, even if he wanted to surrender, he had no place to surrender.

He can only continue to hang out under the Demon Emperor.

"I hope those sent by the human race are not those Shushan elders..."

Cheng Yue prayed in his heart.

The reason why the Heavenly Demon Emperor laid this plan on the fourth floor was because he was worried that Shushan would send the most powerful leader and several elders.

After all, these demon clans do not know that the Shushan Sect does not allow disciples to enter the Demon Locking Tower. They do not know that the Shushan Sect is in an extremely dangerous situation at the moment. Two elders are seriously injured. The leader and the other two elders must use all their strength to suppress the Demon Locking Tower.

tower.

Those who have reached the semi-immortal level are generally not easily injured, but getting better after being injured is naturally much more difficult than for ordinary disciples.

It would take at least ten days for the two seriously injured elders to turn from serious injuries to minor injuries.

The head of Shushan and the other two elders suppressed the Demon Locking Tower and were unable to leave at all.

Once they leave the formation and the suppression force weakens, the Heavenly Demon Emperor can directly rush out of the Demon Suo Tower.

There is no way, the Demon Emperor is too strong.

Therefore, the scene imagined by the Heavenly Demon Emperor, in which the head of Shushan led several elders and entered the Demon Locking Tower with various powerful artifacts, was simply impossible to realize.

But there is one thing to say, even though the eyes of the two parties are not equal and the information they understand is different, the layout of the Demon Emperor at this moment still seems to be a bit witty.

Regardless of whether the Shushan sect sends the head elder or a few ordinary disciples, their demon tribe is imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower, and they are still weak in the end.

When you are in a weak position and face a strong enemy, the best way is to shrink back, gather everyone together, and concentrate your efforts to deal with the strong enemy.

However, the Sky Demon Emperor sent out his men and even divided them into several waves to station at each level.

It looks wise, but it actually turns out to be wise.

This layout is completely inappropriate.

However, considering the tasks of the four reincarnators, this layout suddenly becomes reasonable.

If the Heavenly Demon Emperor had not laid it out like this, the reincarnators would have been able to go from the tenth floor to the first floor smoothly.

The main plot and the advanced main plot were all completed without any difficulty.

Not to mention the main plot, the difficulty lies in how to get in.

But the difficulty of advancing to the main line must be higher than that of the main line.

Considering this aspect, it seems normal for the Heavenly Demon Emperor's plan to subdue his wisdom.

Cheng Yue himself led several big demons to guard the passage leading to the third floor.

It should be noted here that even the passage is actually integrated with the entire maze of mechanisms. When the maze changes every day, the position of the passage will also change.

Therefore, it is impossible to remember the location of the passage and quickly pass through the maze.

That is to say, time is short now. If it happens that a day has passed when Zhou Ming and the others arrive at the fourth floor, then Cheng Yue and other monsters will have to find another passage to block Zhou Ming and the others.

After guarding the entrance of the passage for several hours, a big demon suddenly said: "Something's wrong!"

Cheng Yue opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

The big monster said: "Mr. Cheng Yue, the monsters we sent out are patrolling everywhere. According to their speed, there should be ten monsters passing through the passage every quarter of an hour.

But in the last quarter of an hour, only seven monsters passed by, suddenly half of them were missing, something is really wrong!"

The other big demons heard this and nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.

In this way, it becomes more and more embarrassing.

Because he was full of resentment, he had never observed such a thing.

Another big demon said: "Mr. Cheng Yue, this change must be caused by the monks sent by the human race. In order to prevent our demon clan from suffering excessive losses, please ask Mr. Cheng Yue to summon all the demons and gather them here."

"Okay, it should be."

Cheng Yue felt even more resentful, thinking that a bunch of big demons actually dared to order me?

It can be said that when you are in a bad mood, nothing you look at is pleasing to the eye. These two great demons spoke very politely, but Cheng Yue felt that they were ordering him on the following offenses.

But at this moment, he must do what these two great demons said.

Because what they said is right.

In the Demon Locking Tower, the suppressive power is so strong that ordinary monsters can only sense about one meter around their bodies. These big monsters are a little more powerful and can sense dozens of meters.

Half-immortal level monsters are even more powerful and can basically sense half a layer of the tower.

But it's only horizontal, because the materials used between the layers of the Demon Locking Tower are more special.

At the half-immortal level, it is still unable to sense the upper levels through these materials.

Only when you reach the level of a true immortal can you see through these layers and sense the situation at a higher level. But as the layers are weakened, this kind of sensitivity is very vague.

That's why the Demon Emperor couldn't tell who came to the Demon Locking Tower.

Although Cheng Yue was ostracized, his family was powerful and had a solid foundation, so his strength was among the eight half-immortals, so he ranked among the top three.

His spiritual power can cover two-thirds of the entire fourth floor, and his spirit can directly penetrate the body and connect to every monster within the coverage area.

At this moment, Cheng Yue frowned slightly.

Because in addition to sensing monsters, he also sensed five human races.

Presumably, they are the five human races who were sent in.

This is not good. It seems that the five human races have been within the range of his induction for a while, but because he did not release his mental induction, he has no idea about it.

If this were to spread, it would be a serious dereliction of duty.

Cheng Yue glanced at the big monsters and thought that it was lucky that they couldn't sense them, and said: "All the monsters have been notified... But why didn't I sense the existence of the human race? Could it be such a coincidence that they happened to be hiding in my body?

Out of sensing range?”

A big demon said: "It must be those humans who caught Le and a few little demons. These little demons were lax and leaked information about Master Cheng Yue."

After all, Cheng Yue is an established force, and he also has many great demons under his command. Of course, the tasks assigned this time cannot be all the great demons under his command. The one who spoke at this moment is one of Cheng Yue's subordinates.

He didn't know that Cheng Yue was negligent, he just agreed with his boss.

Cheng Yue smiled in his heart, his negligence was now covered up.

Not to mention the intrigues on one side of the demon clan, but on the other side, the five humans moved forward slowly.

"Do you guys feel it?" Weijing asked.
