Chapter 1507: The Demon Emperor's Throne Comes to an End? (Part 1)

~7 min read 1,397 words

Diewumeng, who had victory in her grasp, didn't put anyone else in her eyes at all, or rather, in her heart, these people weren't her opponents; those she most wanted to eliminate were already dead. Although she didn't kill them herself, thanks to various coincidences, those people died one after another, and she also contributed a bit. But she, she was still pleased to see it.

The present Mangshan Demon Palace cannot continue in chaos; it needs someone to take charge, someone to stabilize it, so the Mangshan Demon Palace can return to peace. She, however, knows that once Tian Du Men and the Mu Long Clan free up their hands, they will definitely act against them, and it cannot remain as before.

The Mu Long Clan lost many people, and the Grand Elder fell in the Mangshan Mountain Range; this debt, the Mu Long Clan will not let it rest.

Meanwhile, Tian Du Men suffered heavy casualties this time; as the main force, the Mangshan Demon Palace will naturally receive Tian Du Men's retaliation, especially since the Tian Du Dragon King was injured this time—the Mangshan Demon Palace exerted great effort, even letting the Corpse Refining Sect's corpse generals attack Tian Du Men's disciples, causing heavy casualties; this debt will surely be charged to them.

If the Mangshan Demon Palace continues to be as chaotic as before, it will easily be found by humans and destroyed.

This is something she does not want to happen, and also something other demons do not want to see. The Bai Xinlan and Lan Tiansheng before her are smart people; they naturally know how to choose, especially Bai Xinlan, who has some interest in the Mangshan Demon Emperor's position, though not much.

If she becomes the Demon Emperor, it benefits her at least: Diewumeng won't cause trouble like others, nor will she target their Luotian White Snake Clan; between them there is no direct conflict of interest, and they can even cooperate.

"Bai Xinlan, for the sake of the Luotian White Snake Clan and also for the future of the Mangshan Demon Palace, the human forces of Tian Du Men have always been watching us; we've made too much of a commotion, so they will definitely send people to intervene."

"If the Mangshan Demon Palace falls, your Luotian White Snake Clan will also also suffer misfortune. Once I become the Demon Emperor, I will not act against the Luotian White Snake Clan, nor will I act against you; instead, I will support your rapid growth."

"Between us, there is no direct conflict of interest; don't you understand yet?"

Diewumeng does not want to take action; although she is not afraid of these two people and could suppress them, emotionally and rationally she must let them know her thoughts and also wants their support—this is something that must be done.

Killing them would bring her no benefit; anyway, there is certainly no benefit now, only more drawbacks, and it would even provoke the grudge of the Luotian Old Ancestor. Facing that undying old one, Diewumeng has no confidence to defeat him, nor can she oppose him; at the very least, she must first secure her position as Demon Emperor, then break through her cultivation to become a Tribulation Realm Demon Emperor, before slowly settling the score.

For now, the priority is to stabilize them; these two are smart people, they know what they need and also what they want.

Lan Tiansheng heard this, raised his head and said: "Diewumeng, we don't believe you."

Bai Xinlan said: "What Lan Tiansheng said is correct; who knows if you'll settle scores later? First stabilize us, let us support you, then after you stabilize the Mangshan Demon Palace, you can act against us—we don't want to see that scene; it would be better to oppose you from the start."

"Diewumeng, your ambition is too great; we find it hard to believe you unless you swear on your life."

Only a Heavenly Dao Oath can earn their trust.

Diewumeng didn't expect these two to be so cautious, but she indeed will not act against them.

"Okay."

Lan Tiansheng and Bai Xinlan simultaneously raised their heads, looking astonished at Diewumeng before them; they didn't expect her to nod in agreement—it seems she is anxious.

This divine ability will soon be broken; these Demon Kings cannot be killed, not even one or two will easily fall into it—at least, they won't easily… succumb, for these Demon Kings have walked out of slaughter, their wills extremely firm; how could they easily fall for it?

Once they meet each other, Diewumeng will find it hard to control them; it's better to first win over a group, then threaten another group to make them bow.

This tactic is very effective; Diewumeng also knows very well that without giving them any trust, these two cannot possibly nod in agreement—Lan Tiansheng is still easier to persuade, but Bai Xinlan, this woman, is not so easy to get a nod from; however, for the sake of the Luotian White Snake Clan, she will also bow her head.

"I can swear, but you also have to swear."

This is her demand; she also does not trust the two of them, fearing they will betray her.

Lan Tiansheng nodded: "I have no problem; anyway, I have no interest in the Demon Emperor's position."

With insufficient strength, taking that position is extremely dangerous; unable to suppress the demon kings below, he will eventually be killed by others.

It would be better not to become this demon king from the start, to preserve oneself wisely; as things stand now, it's quite good.

Xu Kongwang died, the Mangshan Demon Emperor died, and he also gained great benefits; for him, this outcome is not bad.

Bai Xinlan also nodded: "I have no problem either, but I also want a share of the Demon Emperor's body."

It's impossible to let her monopolize it all.

Lan Tiansheng's eyes lit up; he stared nakedly at the woman before him and reached out.

"Everyone wants it," Diewumeng smiled and said, "the Demon Emperor's body has serious problems and plenty of toxins; giving it to you, you wouldn't be able to use it either—I plan to exchange his body for some medicinal pills."

"I also don't dare to devour his corpse; I don't want to be poisoned to death."

Black Tiger Venom, Queen Bee Venom, and also the Demon Emperor's own toxin—various toxins mixed together, that corpse is nothing but poison.

If swallowed, it could cause her to die on the spot; such a foolish act, Diewumeng will not do it. Her purpose, naturally, will not be hidden; she tells the two demon kings before her that she knows they both have ties to Qinglong Daoren and have even traded with him.

Their purposes are likely the same as mine—they also noticed the toxins in the Demon Emperor's body, and also want to exchange for more medicinal pills.

Bai Xinlan and Lan Tiansheng froze for a moment, involuntarily looking at Diewumeng; both were shocked in their hearts.

After exchanging a glance, Lan Tiansheng laughed loudly: "Haha, I didn't expect Diewumeng, you also went to Longshe Shan; it seems you have tasted the benefits."

Bai Xinlan's complexion was not good; these people all have their eyes on Qinglong Daoren's medicinal pills, it seems those two also made a deal with him—in that case, she is no longer the only one, and she cannot manipulate others.

The medicinal pills' secret was exposed, and they also obtained the pills; her sole advantage might be gone, but she had traded many years earlier, gaining considerable benefits—the Luotian White Snake Clan has grown rapidly, and these two pose no threat.

No wonder this Diewumeng has always been mysterious and unwilling to hand over the Demon Emperor's body; it seems she had been eyeing it all along.

"When?" Bai Xinlan asked, frowning.

Diewumeng gave a slight smile: "Not long ago, Bai Xinlan, you actually hid such a good thing—truly deceitful."

Bai Xinlan's expression stiffened, she gave a bitter smile: "I also wanted to tell you, but I simply had no opportunity; now it's the same, since our goals are the same, we demand an even split of the medicinal pills."

Lan Tiansheng smiled narrowly: "Not bad—we don't want the Demon Emperor's corpse, but we need a share of the medicinal pills."
