Chapter 3: Shocking Hidden Secrets!
"Stop with the nonsense!"
Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, glancing at the tiger demon, and snorted, "Just get to the point!"
"..."
The tiger demon hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "The new Demon Emperor is a Great Demon King jointly chosen by several ancestors and the king—Ah Man, titled Man, also known as the Barbarian Emperor!"
"Ah Man, Barbarian Emperor?" Chen Yi frowned and asked, "Does he have any special traits? Speak in detail!"
"Xiao Fu doesn't know much, only heard from several kings gossiping that Ah Man was born as a black-skinned wolf demon in Taizhou Mountain, with the ability to howl at the moon and swallow the sun." The tiger demon recalled piece by piece, speaking intermittently:
"Right, the kings also mentioned something ancient during their chats, like some inheritance Secret Technique of the Ancient Demon Court, saying that after the ancestors chose Ah Man as the Demon Emperor, we demons would benefit."
"They didn't go into specifics, and Xiao Fu only got the gist of it, but I heard that the Barbarian Emperor intends to hold a coronation ceremony."
"By that time, it won't need to be a secret anymore, and they said two Great Kings would be sent back to the Tianyuan Continent to inform that Fengyue Demon Emperor, asking her to stay calmly in the Tianyuan Continent, with two emperors standing side by side."
Chen Yi raised an eyebrow slightly, saying that two emperors would stand side by side sounded nice.
Even though he hadn't interacted much with Fengyue Demon Emperor, he could tell that the cold-looking female demon was not one to yield easily.
She doesn't know about Ah Man now, but once she finds out, she will definitely find a way to oppose him.
Hmm, it seems Fengyue Demon Emperor intends to come to the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield… If caught off guard, she, the Demon Emperor, might fall.
Chen Yi pondered deeply, considering how to handle this matter.
Another thing that piqued his interest was the Ancient Demon Court's inheritance mentioned by the tiger demon.
Although the tiger demon's words were vague, Chen Yi deduced that Ah Man must have found the secret realm where the Ancient Demon Court's inheritance resides and may have even obtained some inheritance magic from it.
Otherwise, with his understanding of Lu Chen, Emperor Tian, and other Great Demon Kings, such proud and domineering demons wouldn't yield easily.
Moreover, he guessed that Ah Man not only brought out the inheritance Secret Technique of the Ancient Demon Court, but his own cultivation and talent must also be terrifying—not inferior to Fengyue Demon Emperor at the very least.
Thus—the two tigers fighting would only benefit the Human Race!
For a moment, the four humans and one tiger were silent.
Gu Zhuo widened his eyes, exchanged a glance with Yin Shunan next to him, and nodded silently, reaching the same conclusion.
The Demon Court had two Demon Emperors, one in the Tianyuan Continent, and the other at the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield, and the Fengyue Demon Emperor in the Tianyuan Continent wasn't aware...
He could easily deduce—there would surely be a battle between the two Demon Emperors, a life-and-death struggle!
Even if one side surrendered, the winning side wouldn't spare the other!
And such secretive news must be passed on to several ancestors of the Human Race!
So the Human Race could take advantage if the Demon Court fell into chaos because of this. If the timing was right, perhaps this incident could break the Demon Court's blockade!
Thinking of this, Gu Zhuo couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "Does that Barbarian Emperor have any plans against our Human Race?"
The tiger demon glanced at him, its ingratiating smile instantly retreating, and said in a gruff voice:
"Xiao Fu doesn't want to deal with a losing hound."
Gu Zhuo: "..."
Upon hearing this, Ji Binglan turned her head, "You tiger demon, do you believe I won't... I'll let senior slaughter you?"
The tiger demon snorted, turning away.
"Hey!"
Before Ji Binglan could roll up her sleeves, Gu Zhuo hurriedly stopped her, gesturing towards Chen Yi, who was deep in thought, signaling her to be patient.
He had spoken out earlier only to get more secrets from the tiger demon.
After all, after the Demon Court's Demon Emperor coronation, there was always the tradition of launching massive offensives against Human Race fortresses.
If they could get related information from the tiger demon, the three strong cities and dozens of garrisons could prepare in advance.
After a moment of silence.
Chen Yi came back to his senses, having already made up his mind, then looked at Gu Zhuo and the others before signaling the tiger demon:
"The Demon Court has plans to attack the Human Race strong cities?"
The tiger demon immediately grinned, revealing a flattering smile, answering honestly:
"No intention to hide from the lord, temporarily the kings have no plans to attack the Human Race strong cities and garrisons."
"..."
Seeing its different treatment, Gu Zhuo was angered to the point of his teeth aching.
But at least he got the information he wanted, so he could only sulk in silence.
At the same time, he perked up his ears, trying to glean more intelligence.
Chen Yi nodded slightly, pondering, "If that is the case, then tell us about the current situation of the Demon Court."
"The number of Great Demon Kings, and their respective locations."
Previously, he only heard from Li Qingzhou that dozens of Great Demon Kings guarded the passages to other realms of Taizhou Mountain, making it impossible to delve deeper.
But Chen Yi wouldn't give up easily; after all, he came to the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield for the Ancient Daoist heritage competition.
If he couldn't explore those realms, it would be a waste of time for him.
Moreover, General of the "Purest Heaven," Fu Chen, and others found the Ancient Spirit Mountain heritage, and the Demon Court also had someone suspected to have obtained the Ancient Demon Court's Emperor Meng.
And he, the fake inheritor who once gained the title of "White Tiger True Monarch" from the Ancient Daoist Court, still didn't know where the Ancient Daoist Court was.
"My lord, you know, Xiao Fu's cultivation isn't high. Within the Demon Court, I'm barely a small leader and don't know much comprehensively. If there's any mistake, I hope the lord can forgive me." The tiger demon acted pitifully, putting on a poor show while saying a lot.
