MTLNOVEL Chapter 316: Don’t Be Too Indulgent!
The Fengyue Demon Emperor is heading to Taizhou Mountain!
Emperor Heaven Ancestor sat grandly in the tiger-skin chair, but his millstone-sized tiger face was gloomy.
"Since His Majesty has already made a decision, we naturally respect it, but there should always be some order on Tianyuan Continent."
"Firstly, the Ten Thousand Mountains now have various demon clans with many affairs. If there isn't a demon candidate who can command respect, how can stability in the Ten Thousand Mountains be ensured?"
"Moreover, the Wolf Demon group suffered significant losses this time, and the Demon Imperial Palace needs to help them recuperate."
"After all, my Demon's Court's strategy to head south is delayed, and there must be an explanation for Lang Li, the only surviving Great Wolf Demon King."
Upon hearing Emperor Heaven Ancestor's words, the other Great Demon Kings in the hall exchanged glances and began to speak.
"Emperor Heaven is not without reason; the matter of the Wolf Demon group urgently needs resolution. It is not too late for His Majesty to solve this issue before heading to Taizhou Mountain."
"And what about the human Chen Yi!"
"Just now, news came from the south that he released the Azure Dragon of ancient divine beast bloodline at the human race's grand gathering and slashed tens of thousands of Evil Demons with a single sword, along with the small demons we sent to disrupt."
"His formidable presence reminds me of someone — the Sword Immortal Mu Qing from the Grand Void Sect of the human race in years past!"
"Mu Qing?"
A Great Snake Demon King with a human body and snake tail, cheeks covered in fine scales, hissed coldly with a long tongue:
"She is a troublesome figure."
"Years ago, Mu Qing ventured alone into the Demon Court and slew the ancestor of the Snow Bear Clan with her sword, in cultivation close to that of Emperor Heaven Ancestor today. Had she not gone to Taizhou Mountain later, attempting to break through the blockade and drawing several ancestors to besiege her, she might have become the first Great Power of Divine Power Tenth Realm of the human race."
Seeing the Great Demon Kings go off-topic further and further, Emperor Heaven Ancestor raised his solid hand to interrupt: "Mu Qing's cultivation indeed surpasses that of the human Chen Yi, but her nature is straightforward, less threatening than Chen Yi."
"Previously, you all saw it too. Despite being hunted by us, Chen Yi continued planning the slaughter of the Wolf Demon group, clearly showing he cares little for temporary gains and losses and will achieve his goals while ensuring his own safety. Such humans are more troublesome!"
The Great Snake Demon King nodded in agreement: "Emperor brother is right. The human Chen Yi's movement technique of Divine Power Realm possesses special might, and among us, only His Majesty the Demon Emperor exceeds his speed, while the others, including Emperor brother, cannot."
"If His Majesty the Demon Emperor heads to Taizhou Mountain, and Chen Yi infiltrates the Ten Thousand Mountains again... I'm afraid our Demon Court's clans big and small will be slain by him one by one!"
The Fengyue Demon Emperor listened silently to their discussion, only watching Emperor Heaven Ancestor without rushing to speak.
Even when hearing the trouble with "the human Chen Yi," her gaze did not waver.
Emperor Heaven Ancestor frowned, "Why is His Majesty looking at me like this?"
For certain reasons, it did not want the Fengyue Demon Emperor to go to Taizhou Mountain, yet it could not openly hinder her since Fengyue, as the Demon Court Emperor, is equal in both prestige and cultivation, and direct refusal has almost no chance of success.
"How many years have you been on Taizhou Mountain, ancestor?" The Fengyue Demon Emperor asked coldly, still staring at him.
Unable to discern her intention, Emperor Heaven thought for a moment and answered directly: "Over four thousand three hundred years."
"Over four thousand years..."
The Fengyue Demon Emperor's lips curled into a cold smile, "In such a long time, even a pig should have broken through to Divine Power Tenth Realm, yet why is ancestor only at Divine Power Eighth Realm?"
Emperor Heaven Ancestor's tiger teeth showed in a grin, "Is His Majesty blaming me?"
"My intentions, ancestor is well aware," the Fengyue Demon Emperor said as she sat back on the throne, her gaze falling on the other Great Demon Kings, "I'm equally aware of your thoughts."
The Snake Demon and other Great Demon Kings' expressions sank; they obviously hadn't anticipated her being so direct.
"You're merely hoping I won't go to Taizhou Mountain to cover your incompetence there."
The Fengyue Demon Emperor disregarded their thoughts, her voice growing colder:
"Were it not for your incompetence, why have you only besieged the human race on Taizhou Mountain for thousands of years without wiping them out entirely?"
"If they hadn't established a foothold on Taizhou Mountain, how could the human race on Tianyuan Continent have persisted till now?"
"Don't forget that most of those human ancestors who once drove us into the Ten Thousand Mountains are gone, dead, or missing, and are there any figures like Mu Qing among the later generations?"
Emperor Heaven Ancestor's gaze fixed, speaking in a deep voice: "His Majesty knows that during the besiege of Mu Qing, our Demon Court suffered significant losses, with two Great Demon Kings of Divine Power Eighth Realm dead and one severely injured..."
"And I was the one severely injured by Mu Qing!"
"The ancestor has contributed to the Demon Court, which I deeply remember, but that is not a reason for you to obstruct me from going to the Demon Court." The Fengyue Demon Emperor snorted:
"Ultimately, you're all doing this for personal gain; the talk about the human Chen Yi and clan affairs are merely excuses."
"You're worried that once I head to Taizhou Mountain, you'll lose the power you hold and fear I might divide your resources."
"..."
The Great Demon Kings' expressions changed again, clearly rattled by her confrontational words, and their eyes inevitably turned to Emperor Heaven Ancestor.
"His Majesty's words are excessive!" Emperor Heaven Ancestor naturally understood the signals from the other Great Demon Kings, yet unhurriedly said:
"I admit my cultivation breakthrough has been too slow, but I do not accept the claim of no accomplishments by the Demon Court on Taizhou Mountain for a thousand years."
