Chapter 266: Why Can’t You Beat the Demon Emperor?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the Demon Race, the upper echelons of the Demonic Tribe gathered together.
The Demon Emperor Chu Xun’s expression was ugly.
From the looks of it, it was clearly not that easy to break through the human race’s defense line.
With the addition of a Saint Rank expert, the situation had completely turned towards the side of the human world holding the advantage.
In the end, they still needed more high-end combat power!
At this time, the 9th Grade Heaven Rank experts were a little unhappy.
“Chu Xun, when you summoned us, you didn’t say that the other party had another Saint Rank!”
A four to five-meter tall Flame Demon said unhappily.
Although their cultivation levels were lower than Chu Xun’s, they were not afraid of him.
No matter what, Chu Xun wasn’t the one who ruled over the entire Demon Realm. If he recklessly slaughtered the 9th Grade Heaven Rank experts, he would definitely be attacked by everyone.
Chu Xun glanced at him and snorted. “If I knew everything, would I still need you guys? How would I know that another Saint Rank human would come? In a war between the two worlds, death can’t be more common! Even my Demonic Tribe has lost a general!”
“Humph!” That Flame Demon snorted coldly before continuing, “I think what that human brat said makes sense. However, if there are benefits, we have to make sure we get ourselves more of it! If your Demonic Tribe wants to monopolize it, then you’re being too casual about this!”
The other 9th Grade Heaven Rank cultivators also chimed in.
“That’s right! We’re all here this time. We came here at the risk of our lives.”
“We have to know what that kid is negotiating with.”
“Don’t think about taking it all for yourself!”
Chu Xun gritted his teeth and said, “Up to you. You can choose two people yourself. When I send people to negotiate in two days, we can go together. We can discuss when we return! Alright, my Demonic Tribe still has a meeting! If you have nothing else to do, you can leave first!”
He did not stand on ceremony either.
These people knew that he was not to be trifled with. Seeing that he had agreed to split the benefits, they retreated one by one.
After these people left, only the upper echelons of the Demonic Tribe remained.
For example, some of their subordinate races did not have the qualifications to participate in the decisions of the Demonic Tribe!
The first general of the Demon Race, Mo Youhan, looked at Chu Xun and said in a soft voice, “The Nine Headed Hydra has died this time. If the Hydra Clan finds out, they will probably be very unhappy!”
Chu Xun said angrily, “So what if they’re unhappy? If they dare to cause trouble, I’ll kill them all!”
Mo Youhan shook her head and sighed. “Your Majesty, even if we want to kill them, the Hydra Clan is still a mutated clan with many above the 7th Grade Heaven Rank. If they really want to hide, even you won’t be able to find them so easily. Why don’t… we make the first move! Think of a way to gather them together and capture them in one fell swoop!”
Obviously, this woman was also ruthless.
“Hahaha! Good! That’s in line with my wishes.
Chu Xun frowned. “The main problem now is, do you think what that kid said is reliable?”
“I think it’s worth a try!”
Mo Youhan said in a deep voice, “Back then, how powerful was the Myriad Demons Emperor? He unified the Demon Realm and entered the human world, but in the end, he also died.
Although the human race seems to have recovered at a slower pace than us, Your Majesty, you have not unified the demon race after all. You are the only Saint Rank in our race. If we fight one against two, I’m afraid our chances of winning are not high!”
Chu Xun was puzzled. “Why didn’t Gongsun Shi let the Snow Saint come earlier? We fought twice before and he almost died! Wouldn’t it be better to call such helpers over early?”
He was a little suspicious of this fact.
However, Mo Youhan shook her head and said, “Your Majesty, perhaps it’s just like how you don’t get along with the Demon Ancestors in the Evil Fiend and Heavenly Fiend Tribes. It’s probably that she wasn’t willing to get involved in this matter at the start and wanted to see how Gongsun Shi handled it instead.
As for Gongsun Shi, after he was defeated by Your Majesty twice, perhaps he already expected that he wouldn’t be able to resist Your Majesty, so he invited this person over.”
Chu Xun gritted his teeth. “Damn it! That old thing from the Evil Fiend Tribe deliberately didn’t fight with me and let me go first. From the looks of it, he wants me to take the lead on purpose! He wants to test the bottom line of the human world!
Otherwise, with the power of our three great Tribes in the Demon Race, and the mobilization of some high grade Heaven Rank experts, perhaps we wouldn’t have to return empty-handed today.”
Mo Youhan said, “But Your Majesty, how do you know that there are only two Saints in the human world?”
“Huh?” Chu Xun was stunned.
That’s right, just because two people came out didn’t mean that there were only two.
Mo Youhan continued, “So I feel that instead of fighting to the death, the cooperation proposed by that fellow is more reliable.”
“The Evil Fiend Tribe is currently watching from the sidelines. If we really fight to the death with the alliance army of the human world, they might still benefit from it. If it’s really as Su Wen said, we can provide each other with living beings. Although it might be slower to obtain the blessings of Heaven and Earth, we can make up for it through time.
After ten years, His Majesty and the experts in the race will definitely improve greatly. At that time, not to mention those humans, if another Saint Rank appears in our race, at the very least, our Demonic Tribe will have a much higher chance of uniting the Demon Realm.”
In the mouths of the demons, there was no such thing as Heaven Earth Merit. They called it the blessings of Heaven and Earth.
In reality, the term ‘Merit’ was only passed down from the ancient Saints, on the pretext that it sounded better.
Nine Nether Island, Frost Iron Pass. This was one of the newly built cities of the Human Realm’s allied forces. The entire city was constructed purely out of frost iron.
At this moment, the city appeared rather desolate.
There was only a neat military formation and rows neat residences built by the commoners.
At this moment, Gongsun Shi, Su Wen, and Su Changqing were sitting together.
When Su Changqing heard Su Wen’s words, he frowned slightly. “Xue Qianxun’s identity can’t be hidden from others. I still need Senior Gongsun to warn them not to gossip in private. The fewer the rumors, the better.”
Gongsun Shi nodded.
Su Changqing looked at Su Wen and sighed in admiration. “I didn’t expect my son to have such a method to kill a 9th Grade Heaven Rank expert. Even I feel inferior to such a method!”
Su Wen shook his head and smiled bitterly. “That method can only be used once! Furthermore, there’s a 50% chance of failure!”
“One time is enough!” Su Changqing smiled. “Isn’t it a success now? Since we managed to scare the other party away, the chances of us cooperating will be very high.”
Su Changqing said, “This is the same as between countries. As long as your strength makes the other party apprehensive, the other party will hesitate and not dare to move lightly. For example, Senior Gongsun. If he wasn’t severely injured by the other party every time, that Demon Emperor might not have been so determined to attack the human world.”
Gongsun Shi: “….”
Is this my fault? Do I want to lose to that fellow? Do I want to be severely injured by that bastard every time?
After a moment of silence, Gongsun Shi chose to change the topic. He looked at Su Wen and frowned. “But according to what you said, we can swap living beings with them to obtain Heaven Earth Merit, but what if they become stronger and come back to war with us?”
Su Wen smiled. “Once the matter is settled, there will be many methods to handle it. Senior Gongsun, why are you so naive?”
Su Changqing also rolled his eyes. “That’s right. Senior Gongsun, it’s fine if you can’t defeat that Demon Emperor, but can’t you scheme against him?”
Su Wen also sighed. “That’s right. Senior Gongsun, why can’t you defeat the Demon Emperor? Otherwise, why would we have to waste so much effort?”
Gongsun Shi was speechless.
If he could not defeat the Demon Emperor, that meant he didn’t pass the test, was it?
“If we fight to the death, he might not necessarily win!” Gongsun Shi wanted to maintain his pride.
Su Changqing and Su Wen pursed their lips at the same time. The disbelief on their faces made Gongsun Shi want to beat them up.
However, he could tell from today’s incident that both this pair of father and son were not simple!
Not to mention anything else, Su Changqing’s methods of concealment were nothing to scoff at. In addition, Su Wen had defeated an 8th Grade Heaven Rank cultivator with a cultivation of 4th Grade Heaven Rank, and his potential was terrifying.
Today, he had even used an unknown method to kill a 9th Grade Heaven Rank expert.
This turned the situation around.
Now that they were in a deadlock, at the very least, they could help the human world stall for some time.
“You two, don’t keep me in suspense. Hurry up and tell me.” Gongsun Shi didn’t like the feeling of his intelligence being suppressed.
It was as if the two of them were normal people while he was a fool.
Su Changqing sighed and said, “From the looks of it, killing living beings should give Heaven Earth Merit.”
Gongsun Shi nodded and said, “That’s right. But, according to the strength of one’s cultivation, there are still differences based on the being’s intelligence.”
Su Changqing looked at Su Wen and guessed, “You should be using Ni Hongxiao, right? With that woman’s methods, she should have a way to nurture the creature you want!”
This matter couldn’t be hidden from Su Changqing, so Su Wen said with a smile, “That’s right. Look, if we trade with the demon race and use ordinary poultry, the merit given will definitely be very low. Therefore, we can use Ni Hongxiao to let her nurture some low ranked vicious beasts, making them have even stronger reproductive abilities! We can provide enough creatures to think of a way to move the Demon Race!”
Gongsun Shi still didn’t understand. He frowned and said, “But wouldn’t you be increasing their strength by doing this?”
Su Changqing said seriously, “This is inevitable. If we don’t give enough benefits, how can the other party be tempted? In any transaction, if we want it to last, we must let both sides have enough benefits!”
Gongsun Shi said worriedly, “Wouldn’t that be raising a tiger to cause trouble?”
Su Changqing roared with laughter. “Senior! Think about it carefully. If they obtained benefits, then what about us? If we trade with a type of living being, then shouldn’t we theoretically obtain the corresponding rewards?”
“That’s right!”
“But as long as we can obtain more benefits from trading with them, won’t it be enough?” Su Changqing looked at Su Wen and smiled. “You think so too, right?”
“Of course.” Su Wen said in a deep voice, “We have two Saint Rank experts now! In the negotiations, we naturally have to occupy more benefits! We can completely occupy more things of the same grade!
It would be more reasonable if we act more domineeringly, as long as it’s not too much! The other party will definitely agree because our two races are using items that are useless to us in exchange for benefits. Having something is better than not having anything!”
Su Wen turned to look at Gongsun Shi as he solemnly concluded, “In a situation where we can obtain more benefits, if we still can’t catch up to the other party, we can only say that our human race deserves to be destroyed and the human world deserves to die! This is the only thing we can do. At the very least, we don’t have the ability to protect the human world with ourselves now, right?”
Gongsun Shi looked at Su Wen and knew deep down that whatever he said was right.
No matter what, this was already a very good situation.
“I’ll leave this matter to you guys. I still have to recuperate as soon as possible! To prevent another war from happening one day! This includes coordinating with the Demon Race and the coordination between the various races of the various countries. I’ll rely on you guys. I’ll support you with all my strength!” Gongsun Shi said in a low voice.
“Alright!”
Su Wen accepted his promise.
After Gongsun Shi left, the Su father and son sat together. The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
“Can you complete it yourself?” Su Changqing asked with a smile.
“Don’t worry!” Su Wen waved his hand and said, “Leave it to me!”
Old Su reminded him, “You cannot be satisfied with just some benefits!”
“Your son has never been a philanthropist!”
“Those countries will definitely work together to pressure you.”
“I have an idea to counter them!”
Looking at how confident Su Wen was, Su Changqing could not help but sigh. His son seemed to have grown up a lot.
In the city, the various Heaven Rank experts were also making guesses about Xue Qianxun.
Yu Shensu couldn’t stop thinking about Xue Qianxun’s actions.
“What method is it? To think it can instantly kill a 9th Grade Heaven Rank cultivator? And what coin did she throw out? That woman has always been by Su Wen’s side. She looks like a servant, but she has such power! Why is she doing this?”
In reality, she was not the only one who was puzzled. Many people could not understand what was happening.
But then again, Xue Qianxun’s methods were proven to be effective.
The reality was in front of their eyes! She had insta-killed a 9th Grade Heaven Rank! Who would dare provoke her now?
As for the one who was most shocked, it was the Bright God Sect.
A few Heaven Rank experts from the sect gathered together.
The strongest cultivator in the sect was only at 6th Grade Heaven Rank!
Compared to Xue Qianxun and Zhang Qian, they were indeed inferior.
The 6th Grade Heaven Rank ancestor frowned, “Snow Saint was once a disciple of our sect?”
A Heaven Rank elder from the Bright God Sect said seriously, “It’s like this. Back then, she only had a cultivation level of Earth Rank. After that, she stole Su Wen’s Blue Cloud Tiger and was found by Su Wen. Because we were unwilling to fall out with the royal court and there was concrete evidence, she was taken away by Su Wen!”
The Bright God Sect Patriarch was furious when he heard this.
“You’re telling me that she has an Earth Rank cultivation base? Did you see that? A 9th Grade Heaven Rank vicious beast from the Demon Realm was casually annihilated by her!”
The Heaven Rank who spoke looked aggrieved. “Who knows what happened? But she really was just an ordinary disciple in our sect!”
Patriarch Ming Shen muttered, “Impossible! If it was her cultivation level, she definitely wouldn’t have achieved the Saint Rank in such a short period of time! Even if she’s the reincarnation of a legendary mighty figure, she wouldn’t be able to do so!”
Shock flashed across his eyes!
“There’s only one possibility! She herself was at Saint Rank a lot time ago! She was probably just someone who was wandering around and decided to stay in our Bright God Sect! In the end… because we weren’t firm enough, so she left with Su Wen!”
He gritted his teeth and said hatefully, “Maybe she’s a senior expert of my Bright God Sect!”
None of the Heaven Rank experts dared to interrupt. Clearly, the patriarch was in an extremely bad mood.
“How do you guys manage a sect! All of you only know how to cultivate all day, but I don’t even see your cultivation levels increasing! If such an expert had been discovered earlier, would my Bright God Sect be reduced to such a state?!”
Everyone pursed their lips in silence. Which Heaven Rank had the mood to manage the sect’s affairs? He made it sound like he had been actively involved in the sect the whole time!
The patriarch then continued, “Take a look at Su Wen. Have you heard of him? He used the cultivation of a 4th Grade Heaven Rank to force back an 8th Grade Heaven Rank demon general! His combat prowess must have been taught by Snow Saint!”
Su Wen’s reputation had spread far and wide among all Heaven Rank experts.
The Star Domain that stretched for tens of thousands of miles had killed several demon Heaven Rank experts and forced them back!
Such an accomplishment could be said to be the most brilliant amongst all the experts in the human world!
The news of Yu Shensu killing a demon general was not spread nor did anyone witness it, so no one knew!
Meanwhile, Su Wen’s scene was seen by many people, so it naturally spread like wildfire.
Su Wen was an existence that no Heaven Rank expert dared to look down on.
At this moment, they placed the reason why Su Wen was so powerful on Xue Qianxun instead.
Sometimes, people were just so strange, coming up with conclusions just like that.
The expressions of the Heaven Rank experts from the Bright God Sect turned ugly.
It was as if they had each lost a million dollars.
That’s right, this was too much of a f** king loss!
If they had known earlier, would they have been given some pointers as well?
“What should we do now?” someone muttered.
“What else can we do? We have to think of a way to curry favor with Snow Saint! Perhaps she can give us some pointers on account of our relationship back then!”
“That’s right!”
At this moment, the patriarch berated them, “Don’t think about it! Sage Gongsun has already said that Snow Saint doesn’t like to be disturbed. He told us not to disturb her and not to spread rumors about her past stay in the Bright God Sect. We have to take care of our disciples. If we anger Snow Saint, she might even turn her back on us!”
When everyone heard this, they couldn’t help but have other thoughts as they discussed.
“Looks like even Saint Gongsun has to show respect to this Snow Saint!”
“Of course. Didn’t you see that the Demon Emperor immediately cowered when he saw Snow Saint attack?”
“Sigh… what a pity… why didn’t I see that?”
“Can you even tell that she’s a Saint?”
The Patriarch snapped testily, cutting them off, “Now that things have come to this, what’s the use of lamenting? What do we do now is the main issue!”
He said coldly, “If we really do as Su Wen said, then how do we deal with the Demon Race? What kind of living beings do we use to transact? How do we split the benefits? This is what we should consider!”
A bright light flashed in his eyes as he said, “During this period of time, we must think of a way to form a relationship with Su Wen. This father and son of the Su family have impressive methods and have both money and power.
In addition, the two Saints have an extremely deep relationship with his Su family. This transaction should also be handled by the Su family. If we manage to get closer to them, there will definitely be great benefits!”
Everyone deeply agreed.
On the other side, the people from Yan Country were also studying this matter.
The Yan Country’s ancestor, Murong Qiu, had a worried expression.
“F*ck! What’s wrong with this father and son of the Su family? Why are they so close to the two Saints?”
He gritted his teeth and said, “When the time comes, will he target our Yan Country in this transaction?”
The 5th Grade Heaven Rank youth who had tried to assassinate Yan Luoying back then also smiled bitterly. “Do you still need to think? Of course they will. They already know about my assassination of Yan Luoying. Earlier, when we gathered resources and mobilized the troops, our Yan Country also paid the most!”
Murong Qiu gritted his teeth and said, “In the last battle, I obtained quite a bit of Merit. These few days, my cultivation and comprehension have been much smoother. This shows how important Merit is! Once the Su father and son start being biased towards the Chu Country, there will definitely be trouble!
For this matter, we must think of a way to obtain sufficient benefits! At the very least, we can’t let the Chu Country obtain too many benefits!”
Everyone nodded. One of them said, “In my opinion, we can contact the Barbarians, as well as those small countries and the Zhou Country. This matter absolutely has to be impartial! Otherwise, if this goes on for a long time, the Chu Country will definitely monopolize everything!”
“That’s right! This matter is not just related to my Yan Country! In the end, we are the ones who are protecting the human world now. Even the Saints cannot be biased!”
“This matter concerns the grand plan of ten thousand years. We cannot give way!”
