Chapter 1336: Brazen Shameless Mangshan Demon Emperor

Bai Hang Holy Maiden listened to their conversation, and people were about to be scared to death.

She, all nervous, already worried that if they started fighting, wouldn't she be doomed?

The aftershocks unleashed by the two Strong Ones could scare anyone to death; she couldn't endure the battle aftershocks of the two.

Even a casual display of pressure from either could scare her to death; one is the Heavenly Capital Dragon King of Tian Du Men, mighty in strength, the other is the Mangshan Demon Emperor, renowned and formidable; neither is someone she can approach.

"Don't fight, please don't fight," Bai Hang Holy Maiden prayed inwardly, not wanting them to fight, yet her prayer was so cheap; the two's conversation was very rough, and they could start fighting at any moment.

The atmosphere grew tense; the two were on edge, ready to fight at any moment.

Bai Hang Holy Maiden was so frightened she froze, daring not even to breathe.

The two exchanged a glance, then burst into loud laughter.

"Hahaha."

"Hahaha."

The sudden burst of laughter left Bai Hang Holy Maiden bewildered; for a moment she didn't know what to do, looking here and there, and then she was dumbfounded.

The Heavenly Capital Dragon King suddenly said, "Alright, Zhang Mang, don't scare the kid. This little girl is one of the Holy Maidens of Tian Du Men, with potential to become the sect leader of Tian Du Men. If you frighten her, those people of the Faction will hold me accountable."

The Mangshan Demon Emperor couldn't help but glance again at Bai Hang Holy Maiden, and said slowly, "I naturally know this little girl belongs to you; otherwise, would you think she could freely enter and exit the Mangshan Mountain Range many times?"

"Tell me, what business brings you to the Mangshan Mountain Range?"

"What did you discuss with that Qinglong Daoren inside? What deal did you make?"

He was very interested in these matters, so instead of asking Qinglong Daoren, he asked the Heavenly Capital Dragon King directly.

The Heavenly Capital Dragon King curled his lip and said, "Do you think I would tell you?"

"You will, Heavenly Capital Soul. If you don't tell me, I'll be unable to eat or sleep; then, if I blurt out the news that you're injured and have less than five hundred years left, do you think the other forces of Cangzhou would go crazy?"

The Mangshan Demon Emperor threatened, "These pieces of information, I'll say them to his face."

Both were fully aware of each other's condition and would not strike.

The Heavenly Capital Dragon King said wordlessly, "You're still so shameless, Zhang Mang."

"Can't compare to you, Heavenly Capital Soul," the Mangshan Demon Emperor retorted, "You came to my territory seeking help to heal your injuries and to breakthrough. Cangzhou has so many people, yet you specifically came to my domain—doesn't that disgust me?"

"If I don't kill you, that would be fair to you."

"Alright, speak quickly, no idle talk; if those Demon Kings of the Mangshan Demon Palace find out, you might be targeted."

The Heavenly Capital Dragon King gave him a glance, sneering, "You still cling to the old ways; those Demon Kings of the Mangshan Demon Palace are ambitious, and you keep them around—aren't you afraid they'll backfire one day?"

"Isn't my purpose already known? I ask knowingly."

The Mangshan Demon Emperor squinted, "It seems you truly came for the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill; do you think Qinglong Daoren can forge it?"

"I can't guarantee it, but he did give me his assurance," the Heavenly Capital Dragon King said without concealment, telling the Mangshan Demon Emperor directly.

The Mangshan Demon Emperor, hearing this, exclaimed in surprise, "He agreed?"

"Correct." the Heavenly Capital Dragon King answered firmly, "He agreed, at least to give me one Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill."

"He can actually forge an Eighth‑grade Pill, the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill?" the Mangshan Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes, his demonic power radiating.

Bai Hang Holy Maiden hid behind the Heavenly Capital Dragon King, daring not to stick out her head, nor to… speak.

"I don't know; anyway he agreed, so I naturally choose to trust him." The Heavenly Capital Dragon King spread his hands, "You know, in our situation we have no choice but to trust him. Zhang Mang, do you want a Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill?"

The Mangshan Demon Emperor stared at the Heavenly Capital Dragon King, chuckling lightly, "Heavenly Capital Soul, would you be so kind?"

"Don't you know who I am? Though we are enemies, we are also friends; over the years we have fought countless times for breakthroughs. Those people wish us both to be destroyed so they can replace us."

"Many people hope we fall, then they can act."

"Especially the Mu Long family, they have been watching us for a long time…"

The Heavenly Capital Dragon King stepped forward, standing beside the Mangshan Demon Emperor, speaking lightly about Cangzhou.

Those people stared at them, hoping they would die.

If they don't die, those people won't dare act, and thus cannot expand themselves.

In short, the two of them are troublesome; within the Mangshan Demon Palace, many Demon Kings wish the Mangshan Demon Emperor dead.

Tian Du Men is different; they all hope the Heavenly Capital Dragon King lives. The two have different circumstances: the Mangshan Demon Emperor walks on the edge of danger, ready to capsize at any moment.

"If we want to breakthrough, we must gamble." the Heavenly Capital Dragon King turned, smiling as he spoke.

"And this person's appearance becomes the opportunity for our breakthrough; if successful, we could suppress Cangzhou for a thousand years." the Heavenly Capital Dragon King extended his hand.

The Mangshan Demon Emperor did not reach out, but gave him a cold glance, "Then leave me a Pill."

"Eh?" the Heavenly Capital Dragon King looked at the Mangshan Demon Emperor in surprise, blinking.

"Is that all? Where's the reward?"

The Mangshan Demon Emperor waved his hand, "The Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill is the reward you give me; consider it as compensation for me constantly protecting this girl. In the future, if you fall, rest assured I will take good care of this girl and ensure Tian Du Men does not perish."

"It also serves as a legacy for you, making good use of that one Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill."

Heavenly Capital Dragon King: "……"

"Zhang Mang, you are truly shameless."

After a long while, the Heavenly Capital Dragon King uttered that line, and the Mangshan Demon Emperor laughed in anger.

Only he could be so brazen to say such words.

"Hahaha, so it's happily decided, Heavenly Capital Soul." the Mangshan Demon Emperor pressed his hand, sealing the matter.

He needs to give nothing, yet can obtain a Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill—what's not to like?

"Zhang Mang, I haven't agreed to you, you…" the Heavenly Capital Dragon King looked again, as the Mangshan Demon Emperor left.

Having said that, he rushed away, giving him no chance to retort.

The Heavenly Capital Dragon King naturally realized those words could only stay on his lips.

He raised his hand, stared ahead, and after a long pause, sighed.

"This Zhang Mang is becoming ever more… shameless." the Heavenly Capital Dragon King sighed helplessly; he was truly at a loss for words.

He was schemed against again; a single Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill was promised away just like that.

And he got nothing.

It's truly... like trying to draw water with a bamboo basket—all for nothing.

"I really..."

The Heavenly Capital Dragon King blamed himself for talking too much; if he had known earlier, he shouldn't have said it.

"Ah."
