Chapter 1441: Mangshan Demon Emperor's Conspiracy

Xukong Wang, this person can be left alone for the time being; letting him stay on Longshe Mountain is actually fine, because then no one can influence our plan, but with him gone we are missing a person.

The Mangshan Demon Emperor said, his brows furrowed, that Xukong Wang's effect is neither small nor large.

This person cannot die, nor disappear, but Xukong Wang is rebellious through and through; we cannot trust him, yet we cannot be without him.

The Mangshan Snake King saw the Mangshan Demon Emperor's dilemma and said, "Why not let him out, then stir up the Mangshan Demon Palace? Those people cannot be allowed to unite fully; otherwise, we would have no way to act against them."

"We can only defeat them one by one; they are too clever, and ordinary methods cannot kill them."

"These Demon Kings move together; in that case, I have no chance to act."

The Mangshan Demon Emperor furrowed his brows, stared at the Mangshan Snake King, and hesitated, "But that one on Longshe Mountain doesn't even give me face; he has latched onto the Heavenly Capital Dragon King's thigh. If I act against him, the Heavenly Capital Dragon King will not give up."

"Moreover, this person hides within a Formation; many of my methods are useless. Mangshan, why don't you go there; perhaps you can find a way to deal with him."

"That person from the Azure Dragon Clan is not easy to handle, also a trouble; if we can eliminate him in advance, perhaps it would be much safer for us."

The Mangshan Snake King frowned and did not immediately accept the task; he knows the dangers of Longshe Mountain. Even if the Demon Emperor went, it would be useless; what could he achieve by going?

He might just go there for nothing; he could be trapped inside and be unable to do anything.

Given his temperament, we have no good feeling toward him, and this person may have already cooperated with Bai Xinlan; once he gets entangled, death will be what awaits him.

"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, how could I compare to you? I cannot go to Longshe Mountain, and I must also keep an eye on Bai Xinlan; provoking internal strife among them is not that easy."

"Bai Xinlan, Xukong Wang, and Black Tiger Lan Tiansheng—they are none of them simple."

"We must divide them; otherwise, we will eventually be constrained by them and become their prey."

The Mangshan Snake King thought of many things and realized that Qinglong Daoren must be dealt with; otherwise, that person…

And Bai Xinlan, who relies on Qinglong Daoren's pills to rise quickly; give her a few more years and she will become even stronger. Her subordinate Luotian White Snake Clan is also rising swiftly, and not slowly.

"That person is very dangerous; if the other Demon Kings gain his support and his pill assistance, we fear…?"

The Mangshan Demon Emperor could not have been unaware of that; precisely because he knows, he intends to snatch the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill, then heal his own injuries, which would resolve all problems.

Who would have known that Qingling Daoist encountered an accident here, causing his plan to go awry.

Thus the current predicament arose: internal troubles and external threats; without resolving internal conflicts, external threats are also fatal.

Human beings outside are constantly watching their Mangshan Demon Palace and may act against them at any moment.

Tian Du Men, Corpse Refining Sect, and the outside families, as well as the distant Pasture Dragon Clan, have long set their sights on the Mangshan Demon Palace. Previously they could not confront it, and everyone coexisted peacefully.

They also know that the Mangshan Demon Emperor is wounded; those people will surely go mad.

They will devise every method to cause chaos in the Mangshan Mountain Range, allowing humans to seize the opportunity to invade the range and begin destroying its integrity. Ideally, the demonic beasts here would be divided into several factions that oppose and balance each other, so that the humans can feel secure.

The Mangshan Demon Emperor knows the humans' plan, intending to have their own people continuously wear down their own, then let his own people…

"Then what solution do you propose?" the Mangshan Demon Emperor looked at the Mangshan Snake King, asking for advice.

The Mangshan Snake King squinted and said, "I recall that Longshe Mountain has cooperation with the human Huang Family and also contacts with Tian Du Men; perhaps we should spread this information, and the demonic beasts in the mountain will certainly not rest."

The Mangshan Demon Emperor shook his head: "Useless. Those demonic beasts are of little use; they probably cannot even break the Formation and will instead become its fodder. Qinglong Daoren is very cunning; that Formation can isolate strong ones in the Dao Realm. In the entire Mangshan Mountain Range, only a handful can enter Longshe Mountain."

"Your method might work against others, but not against him."

The Mangshan Snake King asked, "Is that Formation truly that powerful?"

"It's even more formidable than you imagine. To put it simply, the Formation of our Mangshan Mountain Range versus that of Longshe Mountain is a difference of heaven and earth." The Mangshan Demon Emperor sighed, thinking of that Formation, and felt a chill down his scalp.

Even he does not dare claim he can fully break that Formation; once trapped inside, one cannot extricate oneself.

Even if immortal, one would be confined, constantly drained, and trapped for centuries; what can you do?

The Mangshan Snake King furrowed his brows: "If that's the case, then it's troublesome."

"This person's strength is not great, but his methods are not simple; our demonic beasts are not adept at Formations, yet he happens to excel at them."

"We cannot deal with him directly; could we lure him out of Longshe Mountain, so that handling him later would be a trivial matter?"

The Mangshan Demon Emperor's eyes lit up: "Indeed, if we cannot breach the Formation or confront Qinglong Daoren, then we can lure him out."

Then the question arises: how to lure him out?

One must know that Qinglong Daoren essentially will not leave Longshe Mountain or that Formation; even if he cooperates with Bai Xinlan, it merely means Bai Xinlan enters the Formation.

"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, according to the information I've obtained, this person values Huang Yan of the Huang Family highly; if we can capture Huang Yan, we can draw him out."

"Then we can manipulate him, and the impasse of the Mangshan Demon Palace can naturally be resolved."

"Moreover, we could let him act, hunting other Demon Kings; without us lifting a finger, we solve the trouble and intimidate the other Demon Kings—a triple gain."

Dealing with Qinglong Daoren is not that easy; that person is too cautious.

If we deal with others, wouldn't that be…?

Huang Yan is still easy to manipulate; that human is not powerful, and he will enter the Mangshan Mountain Range, so he need not act in the human world, which reduces many troubles.

It will not offend human forces, nor cause other Demon Kings to unite against them.

"Alright, we'll proceed as you suggest; Huang Yan is yours, Mangshan." The Mangshan Demon Emperor was thrilled; the feasibility of this plan was very high.

He can wait calmly for good news without taking risks.

"Yes, Your Majesty."
