Chapter 1466

The Mu Long family affair was temporarily settled; we killed a Mu Long Di Elder, a Strong One of the Seek Dao Realm—this person was truly a high-ranking member of the Mu Long Family, effectively cutting off one of their arms and leaving them thoroughly hurt.

Besides, other elite disciples and a few elders—only five people fled; this battle was their victory.

The Mangshan Demon Palace remains as it was, still able to repel all invaders, barring them from entering and causing them to perish here; the Mangshan Snake King is pleased, this act proved his strength and status and let him secure his position as Mangshan Demon Emperor; as for some costs, letting those Demon Kings bear them is fine.

Black Tiger returned, the pursuit failed; the Mangshan Snake King didn't blame him, it wasn't entirely his fault; the Mu Long Di Elder self-destructed, also self-destructing his two Spiritual Artifacts; this self-destruction caused damage worse than he imagined; the Mangshan Demon Palace suffered considerable losses, especially the mid-tier demon beasts, which, even if not dead, were severely injured.

He was also injured, not lightly; this time he was at the center of the explosion's distance; even though he finally fled, he wasn't fast enough, not as fast as Diewumeng and the Bee King; those two truly ran fast, yet they too were hit by the blast's shockwave, sustaining minor injuries.

But he, more severely, had part of his body blown away, even one of his heads missing, now gradually regrowing; the Mangshan Snake King winced in pain, glanced at the nearby demon beasts, his mood not good, but not bad either.

Finally falling on several Demon Kings, Diewumeng was largely unharmed, she crossed her arms, relaxed and carefree.

The Bee King was somewhat worse off than her, grimy and disheveled; this time his speed was great, yet he still got hit; the three were the closest, fortunately the Bee King's speed was sufficient, otherwise, like the Mangshan Snake King, his physique in every way would not match the Mangshan Snake King.

The Mangshan Snake King's body was still growing, still transforming, with a continuous influx of energy replenishing him, allowing him to recover quickly.

Black Tiger was in a sorry state; his thick skin and flesh meant no serious harm, just a gloomy mood.

"Damn it, let them get away."

"If it weren't for the Mu Long Di Elder's self-destruction, I would surely have killed them—damn it."

Just a little short, a step away, we could have killed the opponent; at least we should have left Mu Long Wenlong, but regrettably we couldn't achieve that, letting the opponent escape.

The duck that was almost in his mouth flew away—how could he resign himself to that?

"Forget it, they ran; this time the Mu Long Family paid a considerable price, they dare not send anyone again."

"The Mangshan Mountain Range is our demon beasts' territory; we don't welcome these humans entering, and the Mu Long Family at least needs time to recover."

"Next time, they'll be even less likely to succeed."

The Mangshan Snake King didn't blame him, but comforted him—indeed, he couldn't be blamed.

Our side failed to instantly kill the Mu Long Di Elder, allowing his successful self-destruction and sending the Mu Long Family's people away.

"Considering them lucky, next time I will surely kill him." Black Tiger gritted his teeth; those people were all his prey.

If he ate them, his strength would increase another level; now he can only swallow this mute loss himself.

Bai Xinlan and Xu Kongwang were both watching the show the whole time, basically not lifting a hand; the outside human forces—Tian Du Men, the Corpse Refining Sect, or the Dust Accumulation Sect—didn't intervene; they merely watched from outside.

The battle here ended, but they didn't leave immediately; instead they guarded against them turning around to attack, these people mainly focused on defense rather than offense.

When the battle ended, everyone's gaze turned to the Mangshan Snake King—what would he do?

Next, would they continue fighting or fulfill their promise?

Black Tiger, Diewumeng, and others stared at the Mangshan Demon King; Bai Xinlan and Xu Kongwang also stared at him, they didn't act, and the atmosphere grew oppressive and eerie.

The Mangshan Snake King said, "Our Mangshan Demon Palace has suffered considerable losses; we can't keep draining ourselves, so following the earlier agreed distribution, I, the king, am tired."

"Do you still want to keep fighting?"

He didn't want to fight; at least for now he just wanted to go back and heal his wounds, then digest the Demon Emperor's essence within his body, and later slowly act against these people.

Not a single Demon King will escape.

Besides, Bai Xinlan and Xu Kongwang won't escape either.

Bai Xinlan smiled and said, "I don't care; if you want to fight, I'll accompany you; if you don't, I naturally agree to a ceasefire."

Continuing to fight would also benefit her nothing; this time's gains weren't as good as she had hoped.

These people are tough to deal with and hard to kill.

The humans outside are eyeing them tigerishly; if they keep fighting, they'll only benefit the humans.

Xu Kongwang shrugged: "As the Dharma Protector, I'm fine with either."

Whether to fight or not, he doesn't care.

Diewumeng was injured this time and also doesn't want to keep fighting.

"If that's the case, then let's call a ceasefire."

"What about you two?"

The Bee King chuckled: "Let's call a ceasefire; continuing to drain ourselves will only benefit the humans in the end."

Black Tiger darkened his face and nodded: "Since you all agree, I, the king, agree as well."

He couldn't object, nor could he stand out, lest he be ganged up on and taken down.

He needs time to recover his body; the other Demon Kings also have their own considerations; the human forces outside are eyeing them tigerishly, and they naturally hope Black Tiger and his group keep fighting each other, preferably to mutual annihilation, so they can seize the Mangshan Mountain Range without lifting a finger—why wouldn't they?

"Good, since everyone agrees, then let this battle end here."

"Everyone, go back."

The Mangshan Snake King waved his hand, leading the remaining subordinates back to the Mangshan Demon Palace to rebuild it, leaving some demon beasts to watch the outside humans, and more to watch the Mu Long Family, ready to act at any sign of movement.

Bai Xinlan turned and left, taking the members of the Luotian White Snake Clan with her; she couldn't linger here.

Diewumeng thought for a moment, then followed Bai Xinlan's steps.

The Bee King left alone, not wanting to get involved in their affairs, mainly because he didn't want to die.

Black Tiger hesitated for a moment, glared at Xu Kongwang, then turned and left.

Soon, only Xu Kongwang remained at the site, his expression turning grim.

"Cough cough cough."

After a cough, Xu Kongwang turned, stared at their silhouettes, and murmured: "These people are all cunning; one or two have stopped fighting, it seems they also fear being schemed against; Shan Mang has a problem; in this battle, he suffered the worst injuries, yet he didn't……

"The Demon Emperor's corpse is still in his belly, yet this person didn't hand it over, hurriedly leaving; he surely wants to speed up digesting the Demon Emperor's body, and the other Demon Kings never confronted him face‑to‑face to ask what they meant."

"Besides, why……

"Pfft."

Xu Kongwang felt a sudden pain in his body; he instantly reacted, lowered his head, and saw a sword piercing his chest—a sword resembling grass.

To be precise, it was a blade forged from grass, and Lan Tiansheng's silhouette had appeared behind him at some unknown time.

Taking advantage of that opening, he found the chance to act.
