Ghost King's Cave, although called a cave, is actually a very complex underground labyrinth.
It has thousands of tunnels, hidden with various mazes, traps, and a large number of demon army bases.
The central part of the entire cave is a huge underground cavern, where various underground palaces have been built, which is the headquarters of the Ghost King.
"Your Highness, the Queen!" In front of the entrance to the underground palace of the Ghost King, two huge armored guards knelt to greet Sakiko.
"Your Highness, the Queen!" A handsome man with short golden hair and a tall stature, wearing a white robe with red shoulder armor, walked out.
"Jiumu?" Sakiko said with a frown.
This Jiumu is the adviser to the Ghost King, as well as the second-in-command of the Ghost King's army.
While the Ghost King is reckless, Jiumu is meticulous. The Ghost King only knows to charge and attack, but Jiumu possesses both the talent for commanding the army and handling internal affairs. It can be said that Jiumu is in charge of managing such a huge base and tens of thousands of demon army!
Jiumu's face was extremely pale, with a handsome face that seemed to exude a hint of mocking in his expression.
Therefore, the Ghost King did not pay attention to it. A few strangers appeared around Sakiko, but Jiumu noticed them as soon as they came. From their eyes, it could be seen that they were not ordinary newly recruited followers.
"Sakiko-sama, are these people familiar to you?" Jiumu asked.
"Them?" Sakiko had no intention of hiding it, as she thought it would only increase Jiumu's suspicion. "They are The Mercenaries of the Wind. They are fierce in Demonic Capital and are not weak in combat. I recently hired them to work by my side!"
Revealing some true information can make Sakiko's lies more believable.
"Oh, I see! I haven't been in Demonic Capital for a long time and I don't know much about the situation there. But looking at these few people, they are either young heroes or stunning beauties. It seems that The Mercenaries of the Wind is not simple!" Jiumu said.
"That's right! Ordinary mercenary groups wouldn't catch the attention of my sister Sakiko!" Ziwan said.
"Jiumu has met Miss Ziwan!"
"Jiumu, no need to be polite. This time, it's really commendable for the Ghost King to capture both The Maiden of the Celestial Realm and the Shura Witch! However, both of them are not ordinary women. How did the Ghost King manage to capture them at the same time?" Sakiko asked.
"Hehe, it's a long story. Simply put, during the fierce battle for treasures in the Tian Gui Tomb between the Shura Witch and The Maiden of the Celestial Realm, they were both severely injured, and that's when our Ghost King's army launched a surprise attack! Otherwise, even if the Ghost King can defeat the two beauties head-on, they would never engage in a direct confrontation with the Ghost King, and he wouldn't be able to capture them!" Jiumu said.
"I see. I never thought that these two legendary women who roam the Demon Realm would have such a moment of stumbling!" Sakiko sighed.
"That's right! From now on, these two mares will be ridden by the Ghost King every day!" Jiumu smirked.
"Jiumu, you... sigh, perhaps this is the inevitable fate of the beautiful women in the Demon Realm!" Sakiko sighed, "Take us to see the Ghost King!"
"The Ghost King said for you to rest in your palace first. The Ghost King will hold a celebration banquet tonight, and you will be invited to attend!" Jiumu said.
Sakiko led Xu Chen and the others to her palace. But the palace was simple and dimly lit, and Sakiko rarely stayed here.
"Aunt Sakiko!" Qingyin spoke up, "I always feel that there is something suspicious about this. I know that the major powers of the Demon Realm also have their eyes on The Maiden of the Celestial Realm and the Shura Witch, but for so many years, no one has been able to touch them. How come they were suddenly captured at the same time? It doesn't sound very credible!"
"I have the same concerns as you, Qingyin, but the Ghost King has no need to deceive me. Anyway, we will see them tonight at the banquet, and the truth will be revealed then!" Sakiko said.
"Mm..."
