Chapter 434: The Methods of the Demon Lord of the Dark Horse
"Your Majesty, the Four Demon Lords request an audience!"
The guards of the Demon Emperor's Palace entered to report, but as soon as they finished, they saw the Demon Emperor slumped down below his throne, trembling, his face filled with grief and fear.
At first, Konoe found it very strange.
He had never seen the true face of the Demon King, or rather, he was not qualified to see it. Originally, the throne was shrouded in a layer of mist, which completely blocked any detection, so it was impossible to see the appearance of the Demon King.
But this time, Konoe saw it.
However, the seemingly missing horns on the Demon King's head and the fine dragon scales around his eyes gave the guards a thought: The Demon King was actually a hybrid of an ancient dragon?
"..."
The Demon King looked at the guard who was staring blankly at him, and his expression, which had been filled with grief and indignation, suddenly turned cold and bloodthirsty!
He didn't make any move, but the guard who reported the incident was instantly blown apart, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.
I must not let any demon see me in this state.
As the Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons, he must never let his subordinates and subjects see his fear and wavering. Otherwise, the majesty he has maintained for so many years since his ascension to the throne will easily vanish.
just now.
The Demon King was already hesitant about whether to continue sending the demon army on its march.
Putting everything else aside, there's this one figure who lives in seclusion in the Sunflame Dynasty, not far from the border of the Demon Realm. He's a super strong expert capable of instantly killing a sixth-level Saint Realm expert with a single punch. The Demon Emperor isn't stupid; when his army marches over there, they'll inevitably have to go around that place. At that point, no matter how many demons in the Demon Realm swarm in, what use will it be?
I'm afraid they'll just get wiped out by the other side!
But if we don't send troops...
The demon realm will definitely not forgive me either.
He himself had already received the "benefits," and those super old demons who had been holed up in the deep mountains and forests for thousands of years had also received similar benefits of increased lifespan and replenished vitality.
They took the benefits but didn't get anything done.
The Demon King felt that being able to die a quick and painless death was already a sign of the Demon Realm's great mercy.
How to do?
He was anxious, but being anxious was useless. The guy who could make him feel helpless, fearful, and even on the verge of death could easily crush him. The difference in strength was so great that he couldn't make up for it no matter what he did.
Suddenly, "You are the Demon King?"
A hoarse, somewhat monkey-like, gloomy voice rang out.
The Demon Emperor was stunned for a moment. Then, he suddenly raised his head and saw a thin, hunched figure suddenly appear in the Demon Emperor's Palace.
"Where did this come from?"
He frowned.
Although it was an unconscious remark, Yinma Demon Lord's expression darkened even more.
Damn it, this damned mixed-blood demon didn't respect him from the start. Yinma Demon Lord knew he was not human-like and was self-aware, but... he was actually disliked by a mixed-blood demon!
This made the arrogant Yinma Demon Lord feel that he had been greatly insulted.
Even if he's to be insulted for not looking human, it should be someone stronger than him who does it. Why should this weakling, who could be easily crushed, be allowed to bully him?
The Demon Lord Yinma narrowed his eyes: "...It seems that I need to show you what I'm capable of today!"
With a wave of his hand, a chilling black, malevolent aura surged forth.
The Demon King's pupils contracted slightly, his heart filled with shock.
This oppressive aura is even stronger than that of the demon envoy from back then!
And this aura feels very familiar.
The Demon King couldn't help but swallow hard: "Who exactly are you?!"
He was utterly terrified.
His previous impulsive act of causing trouble for that human was enough to make the man grit his teeth in anger, so how could such a terrifyingly powerful figure appear on his own turf now?!
The Demon Lord Yinma's eyes were icy cold: "After I teach you a lesson, you won't need to know who I am anymore."
"You ant, you only deserve to be a 'puppet'!"
The black, malevolent aura transformed into a ferocious giant hand, which reached out to grab the Demon King. The Demon King felt his entire body stiffen, as if he were stuck in a swamp, unable to move, and had no strength left to dodge.
This is an absolute crushing defeat in terms of strength; there is absolutely no chance of resistance.
"No—help!"
The Demon King screamed in agony, truly terrified this time, the feeling of impending death was all too clear!
However, this time, no one could save him.
Moreover, this is the Demon Emperor's Palace, the forbidden ground of this demon emperor.
They were completely seized and enveloped by the giant hand, and only a faint sound like chewing or crushing could be heard from within. After a moment, there was no more movement. Then, the darkness faded away.
The Demon Lord Yinma withdrew his giant hand, a smile playing on his lips.
The Demon King stood there quietly, his face no longer displaying the arrogant demeanor of his former demon race, but instead showing a deep sense of blankness.
He could be said to be dead, but his physical body remained intact, which was, of course, part of Yinma Demon Lord's initial plan. Instead of Yuhai Demon Lord going to great lengths to cultivate any forces, why not just turn these native ants of the Xuantian Realm into "puppets"?
How convenient!
Moreover, these guys are usually impossible to tame.
To prevent any possibility of being betrayed, Yinma Demon Lord felt that he had to use some ruthless methods from the beginning, which would be harmless.
"You know what to do, right?"
Yinma Demon Lord laughed.
"Understood," the Demon King replied calmly.
"Then let's do it, throw the world into chaos, and then expose all those bastards in the immortal realm who are hiding behind the scenes and secretly manipulating things!"
Yinma Demon Lord had no intention of finding out who killed Yuhai Demon Lord.
Because there's no need for that.
Without a doubt, there must be the shadow of the immortal realm behind this!
The damage transferred through "Protecting the Demon Soul" could instantly kill Demon Lord Yu Hai. In the past, the beings with such strength were the Immortal Venerables or even Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm!
Yinma Demon Lord is self-aware.
Not to mention that the guy who killed Demon Lord Yu Hai definitely wasn't in the Xuan Tian Realm; even with the heavens watching, he could only send a clone at the tenth level of the Demonic Transformation stage. Secondly, with his strength, going to someone else to get revenge would be nothing short of suicide.
Therefore, the Demon Lord Yinma's idea was very simple.
The Immortal Realm is definitely the mastermind behind this!
What he wants to do is to plunge this world into complete chaos, causing unrest and disorder, forcing the celestial forces hiding in the shadows to reveal themselves!
"...Greetings, Your Majesty!"
A moment later, four figures descended into the hall and bowed respectfully to the Demon Emperor.
The four demon lords are also close advisors of the Demon King.
"No need for formalities, please rise," the Demon Emperor said after a moment of silence, glancing around the room.
"Give the order: the army will set off in three days!"
