Chapter 1553

Inside the Mangshan Demon Palace.

Diewumeng had awakened, stuck at the breakthrough juncture, she was furious but could do nothing; the enemy had already arrived outside the Mangshan Mountain Range, and this time there were many enemies, and they were very strong.

They came targeting the Mangshan Demon Palace, and also targeting her; it was obvious these enemies were moving to attack the newly stabilized Mangshan Demon Palace, hoping to smash its reconstruction and plunge the Mangshan Mountain Range into chaos again.

"Six-Eyed Demon King, and the Pasture Dragon Clan, and the Corpse Refining Sect too—do they want to get involved?"

"Hmph, these people really are in league with foreign enemies, wanting to use outsiders to suppress the Mangshan Mountain Range; Corpse Refining Sect cannot be spared."

Diewumeng was furious; the battles of Cangzhou, no matter how tragic, were fights among our own—deaths could not be blamed on others—but if they joined forces with Lingzhou's power to act against Cangzhou's forces, that would be betrayal, that would be treason.

To deal with such traitors, Diewumeng believed in eradicating the roots and exterminating completely.

Rather than leaving them to continue wreaking havoc in Cangzhou; fortunately, this time the Tian Du Men did not act, the Accumulated Dust Sect also did not intervene, and the Mangshan Demon Palace faced these enemies directly—not easy—so Diewumeng immediately summoned all the Demon Kings to come discuss.

This concerns the safety of the Mangshan Mountain Range; they cannot avoid it.

Soon, several figures appeared inside the Mangshan Demon Palace: Black Tiger, Bee King, and Bai Xinlan came; Lan Tiansheng was naturally among them. Everyone arrived together, and the Demon Kings inside Longshe Shan all came, each representing a faction.

Diewumeng went straight to the point, saying: 'You all know the specific reason for summoning you this time, right?'

Black Tiger nodded coldly: 'Diewumeng, the enemy comes with great force; if you cannot resist them, you might as well relinquish the Demon Emperor's position and yield it to me; I will make these invaders know what despair is.'

'Hmph, these clueless things dare to offend the Mangshan Demon Palace again; I see they are tired of living.'

Black Tiger was furious; when dealing with invaders, there is only killing without mercy.

Any words are cowardly and useless; only slaughter can establish might and instill fear.

Humans are like that; they fear terror, but if you don't kill them until they are afraid, if you don't kill them until they... fear you, it's useless. Black Tiger understands humans well; in fact, any creature is the same: they fear what they fear.

'Black Tiger, don't cause trouble; this time the enemy comes with great force, it's not the time to vie for power and profit; if you later want to become Demon Emperor, you can challenge Diewumeng, we have no objections.' Bai Xinlan spoke, stopping Black Tiger's challenge; with a major enemy at hand, it's not the time for internal strife.

At this moment, we must jointly face the external enemy; killing those enemies is more important than their internal conflict.

The Bee King also spoke: 'Black Tiger, if you have any dissatisfaction, speak after dealing with those clueless invaders.'

Lan Tiansheng echoed: 'Black Tiger, you're impatient.'

Black Tiger glanced at the three, gave a cold snort: 'Hmph, I naturally know that as Demon Emperor, Diewumeng should protect the Mangshan Mountain Range; this time I won't quarrel with you, but after success I will surely seize the Demon Emperor's position.'

That position belongs to him; he lost last time, but this time he cannot possibly lose.

His injuries fully healed, and his strength increased again; Black Tiger is full of confidence, believing he is no inferior to Diewumeng.

Diewumeng pressed his hand: 'Enough, Black Tiger, and all you Demon Kings; I understand your feelings. Now the Mulong clan, together with the Six-Eyed Demon King of the Myriad Demon Hall, is invading the Mangshan Mountain Range; it is likely that the Corpse Refining Sect's First Corpse General Jiang Tiānsheng will also join them, making this enemy very troublesome. Demon Kings, do you have any plans?'

Black Tiger gave a cold snort: 'Hmph, no need for methods; just kill them outright. Those Corpse Refining Sect scum only know how to do such treacherous deeds; they must be made to regret.'

'Hand this First Corpse General Jiang Tiānsheng over to me; I will tear his body apart.'

Black Tiger hates traitors the most; although he often does such things himself, those are only internal betrayals—if one is dissatisfied with the Mangshan Demon Emperor and does not resist him, he will be killed; he too is merely trying to survive.

But Jiang Tiānsheng is different; this person has no scruples, will do anything to achieve his goal.

Such a person must be killed; Black Tiger despises this kind of person the most.

'Good.' Diewumeng nodded, naturally not saying he opposed Black Tiger's request.

'Six-Eyed Demon King, I can block him; this demon is not inferior to Zhang Mang; facing him, I also don't have much confidence.' Diewumeng's concern is this one: the Six-Eyed Demon King is a Tribulation Realm Demon King, equal in realm to the Mangshan Demon Emperor Zhang Mang; he has long coveted the Mangshan Mountain Range, but because he couldn't defeat Zhang Mang, he hasn't acted.

This time, he has come to probe; once he confirms that the Mangshan Demon Palace lacks a Tribulation Realm Strong One, he will surely bring people to seize the Mangshan Demon Palace; then, the fate of those present will not be good.

Everyone knows Bai Xinlan said: 'Don't worry, Diewumeng; at the crucial moment, my clan's ancestor will intervene.'

Upon hearing this, Diewumeng nodded: 'Good.'

Everyone felt relieved; Tribulation Realm and below are not on the same level; wanting to block them is not that easy.

If the Luotian Ancestor is willing to act, that will suffice.

'Many from the Mulong clan have come; among them, the younger brother of the Mulong Earth Grand Elder, Mulong Ren, has also come, likely for revenge; moreover, their target seems to also include Longshe Shan.'

Upon hearing this, Bai Xinlan's heart jolted; Diewumeng's words were specifically meant for her to hear.

Lan Tiansheng was the same, his eyes narrowing.

'The First Corpse General Jiang Tiānsheng is also heading for Longshe Shan; the reason is that the Extreme Yin Corpse General was killed and fell on Longshe Shan.'

Few people knew this news; after Diewumeng spoke, Black Tiger and the Bee King exchanged glances, neither voicing an opinion, for they knew... Longshe Shan is very dangerous and mysterious, yet they dare not enter.

Among those present, at least three have connections to Longshe Shan.

They naturally know these things, but simply haven't asked; all are focused on breaking through that step, temporarily having no time to attend to Longshe Shan.

'Has anyone been sent from Longshe Shan?' Black Tiger asked deliberately.

The Bee King is also curious; he has never seen the master of Longshe Shan, only knowing that the one there is not simple—Xu Kongwang and the former Mangshan Demon Emperor Zhang Mang have both suffered setbacks inside Longshe Shan, and that one is very mysterious.

They have been paying attention, but cannot approach; the Luotian White Snake Clan protects Longshe Shan, and ordinary demon beasts are not allowed to approach.

'None.' Diewumeng shook his head: 'For now, ignore Longshe Shan; they cannot approach it; their invasion of the Mangshan Mountain Range is a slap to our face; if we let them do as they please and it spreads, where will the face of the Mangshan Demon Palace be?'

'The first step: we absolutely cannot retreat; otherwise, our Mangshan Mountain Range will fall into complete chaos.'

A single pull moves the whole body.

Furthermore, once outsiders know the Mangshan Demon Palace is not fearsome, the Mangshan Mountain Range will be flooded with many humans; those humans have long wanted to set foot in the Mangshan Mountain Range, but were unable due to the palace's dignity.
