Chapter 1600

"Ah?" Bai Xinlan looked at her ancestor in a daze, her mind unable to keep up.

"Ancestor, are you saying you want me to become the Demon Emperor of Mangshan Demon Palace?" Bai Xinlan pointed at herself, asking her ancestor to confirm his meaning.

That is the Demon Emperor of Mangshan Demon Palace; her ability is not bad, she has improved a lot over the years, but it's unlikely she could steadily hold that position, her strength still falls a bit short of Black Tiger and the others, and moreover, Bai Xinlan does not want to sit in that position.

If it were before, she would be very willing to take that position; now, sorry, she has no interest, not even a bit.

That position is too deadly, also too exhausting; without sufficient strength one cannot Protector the demon kings below, nor resist outsiders; many forces around stare like tigers, each making her feel immense pressure, which she cannot withstand.

Tian Du Men, Corpse Refining Sect, Accumulated Dust Sect, Dragonherd Clan, Myriad Demon Palace's Six-Eyed Demon King, not to mention other forces that have not yet acted; these forces hide and will only strike later, and there are many human families; thinking of this gives her a headache, let alone the fact that within Mangshan Demon Palace itself there is division, demon kings distrust each other and each wants to rise.

Bai Xinlan thought of this, her whole self dazed; the first feeling was to give up that position, whoever loves to sit there can sit, anyway she does not want to sit in that position.

"Not bad, if Diewumeng fails the tribulation, the other demon kings are nothing; Black Tiger harbors great ambition, once he takes that position he will surely not let us have an easy time; Bee King and Lan Tiansheng do not want to be Demon Emperor; counting over, you are the most suitable person."

"With the ancestor's help, the Demon Emperor position is yours, no one will object." Bai Qing Shuang said confidently, she can Protector other demon kings, help Bai Xinlan steadily hold the Demon Emperor position, give her some time to cultivate, soon she will catch up with others, even achieve Advancement Tribulation Realm.

Bai Qing Shuang thought highly of Bai Xinlan, believing she could soon achieve Advancement Tribulation Realm; Bai Xinlan, upon hearing this, immediately refused: "Ancestor, don't, I do not want to be Demon Emperor; how about this, ancestor you take that position, disciple will absolutely follow your orders."

She cannot become Demon Emperor; better dead than sit in that position; now the Demon Emperor position is a hot potato, whoever sits in it is a fool; Bai Xinlan will not foolishly sit in that position to bring herself trouble.

Now this is fine; Bai Xinlan is very satisfied with her current life, no need to worry about external enemies, nor will it attract attention from other demon kings; Luotian White Snake Clan can slowly develop taking advantage of this; other matters do not require her concern.

Having finally obtained such a happy period, Bai Xinlan will not bring trouble upon herself.

Bai Qing Shuang shook her head: "As for me, forget it, I have no interest in the Demon Emperor position."

"Xinlan, have you decided? Really no interest? That is the Demon Emperor position, you weren't very eager to become Demon Emperor before?"

Bai Xinlan shook her head: "That was before, Ancestor, disciple has changed her mind, does not want to become the target of many."

Bai Qing Shuang asked again: "Xinlan, you must decide, this is a good opportunity."

"No, I don't want." Bai Xinlan firmly refused, without even thinking.

Bai Qing Shuang seeing this could only nod: "Fine, up to you, just don't regret it."

Actually, she also does not want Bai Xinlan to take that position; that is a hot potato, not only does it bring her no benefit, but it will make her the target of many, and she could be secretly attacked by others at any time.

Diewumeng's pressure is great; they all see it; at this time, who still wants to be Demon Emperor?

Previously, it was because Zhang Mang kept targeting them, wanting to exterminate the Luotian White Snake Clan, so Bai Xinlan wanted to become Demon Emperor, then kill all those harmful to the Luotian White Snake Clan; now the threat is gone, Bai Xinlan naturally will not bring trouble upon herself.

Inside Mangshan Demon Palace.

Black Tiger and the Bee King emerged from seclusion one after another, Lan Tiansheng also came out with them, the three waited for Diewumeng to come out, the tribulation had already begun to brew, they were certain it was Diewumeng's tribulation, that step, Diewumeng stepped forward, whether she could succeed or not depended on this tribulation.

"Bee King, Lan Tiansheng, what do you think?" Black Tiger asked first, this tribulation was too terrifying, they all felt the immense pressure emanating from it.

The fear that came from their bloodline, the trembling of their souls, for the tribulation, these demon beasts are innately afraid; at their level, they can resist fear, resist dread, Black Tiger looked outside with some worry.

The real threat came from outside, not the tribulation; his mood was very complicated, he wanted Diewumeng to fail, yet did not wish her to fail completely, the Mangshan Demon Palace needed someone to hold the fort, otherwise, the future Mangshan Demon Palace would be difficult.

Those humans outside watched like tigers eyeing prey, they could strike at any moment; once they broke through this barrier, the Mangshan Mountain Range would...

"Black Tiger, what do you want to do?" the Bee King asked.

Lan Tiansheng turned his head and said: "Black Tiger, do you also wish for Diewumeng to fail her tribulation? You are well aware of the situation of our Mangshan Mountain Range; we need a Tribulation Realm expert to guard it, otherwise, your and my own people's circumstances will be extremely dangerous; the humans' desire to exterminate us never dies, you would not wish for yourself or your kin to become human slaves, would you?"

"Diewumeng must succeed in her tribulation; we cannot stop her, but rather should lend her a hand."

Since Zhang Mang died, those people have repeatedly attacked and probed, seeking to swallow the Mangshan Mountain Range.

Humans and these demon beasts were originally at odds, and those humans, to achieve their goals, resort to any means.

If Diewumeng fails her tribulation, what awaits them could be an even more difficult situation; Lan Tiansheng does not wish for the Mangshan Mountain Range to fall into chaos, nor does he wish the master's plan to fail; at the very least, the Mangshan Mountain Range must maintain its current state and not descend into chaos.

Black Tiger fell silent for a moment, staring at Lan Tiansheng, and said: "Lan Tiansheng, do you mean we should help Diewumeng block those humans?"

"That's right, exactly so." Lan Tiansheng nodded and said: "Helping Diewumeng is helping ourselves, Black Tiger; you should understand this—you are only one step away from the Tribulation Realm; if you do not stand with Diewumeng, then when you undergo your tribulation later, your fate will not be much better."

"Our Mangshan Demon Palace must be united internally; at the very least, we cannot give humans an opening."

The Bee King beside them, upon hearing this, nodded and said: "Black Tiger, I, the old one, agree with Lan Tiansheng's words; the Mangshan Demon Palace has been in turmoil for too long, it's time to stabilize."

"Today you help Diewumeng; when you later advance to the Tribulation Realm, Diewumeng will also help you."

"Why cling to the Mangshan Mountain Range? Beyond Cangzhou is where our battlefield lies."

"A mere Cangzhou is not worth their internal strife; why not broaden their horizons and look toward Lingzhou, even other places—for example, the Demon Lands, the Central Lands—that is where the Strong One ought to go."
