Chapter 1618

At the Myriad Demons Hall, the Six-Eyed Demon King was angered beyond restraint and could not stay calm.

The Mangshan Mountain Range encountered an error, he was also injured, nearly turned to stone, and in exchange got the result of Diewumeng's successful advancement, nearly vomiting blood.

Indeed, this result differed from what he expected; the Six-Eyed Demon King truly could not accept it, nor believe it—clearly he had struck and wounded Diewumeng, yet still could not kill him; the Corpse Refining Sect's bunch of trash are truly utterly useless, leaving him at a loss for words.

"Trash, all trash, the Corpse Refining Sect still claims to be the strongest sect in Cangzhou—result, is this it?"

"Also the Mu Long family are trash—they couldn't let Diewumeng die, instead let her successfully breakthrough; afterward, wanting to target the Mangshan Demon Palace is hardly possible; my plan has been delayed again, damn it, damn it."

He paid such a high price; this time, he didn't mind being discovered by other demon kings and taking action, yet he ended up suffering a setback, and will become a laughingstock among the other demon kings—the entire Myriad Demons Hall might be laughing at him.

It infuriated him; the Six-Eyed Demon King was very angry—just then, someone came to visit; the Six-Eyed Demon King saw the visitor, who was another demon king of the Myriad Demons Hall, one of its twelve demon kings, namely one he dislikes most.

The Twin-Headed Snake King—this demon king shares the same bloodline as Zhang Mang and is of the same kind.

The Twin-Headed Snake King is a frail man, with a slender build and a pallid complexion; unlike Zhang Mang, he seems ill, as if he could collapse at any moment; when the Six-Eyed Demon King saw him, his face grew even darker.

The Twin-Headed Snake King didn't care about those things, he directly mocked: "Six-Eye, I heard you suffered a setback this time? I heard about the Mangshan Mountain Range affair—the newly born demon emperor's successful advancement through the Tribulation Realm; you tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice, tsk tsk, a mighty Tribulation Realm demon king took action yet couldn't stop her advancement—you're truly trash."

Mocking him to his face, moreover insulting him to his face, giving him no face at all.

Coming to his territory, mocking him as trash—whoever it was couldn't stay calm; the Six-Eyed Demon King gave a cold snort: "Hmph, Twin-Headed Snake King, if you came to watch my joke, good, you've seen it; now you can get lost."

This demon truly is loathsome, the most loathsome demon king in the Myriad Demons Hall, without equal.

The Six-Eyed Demon King's hatred of the snake kind is not without reason—the Mangshan Demon Emperor Zhang Mang, the Twin-Headed Snake King before him, and the White Qingfeng, patriarch of the Luotian White Snake Clan, have all offended him and caused him embarrassment; they are all snakes, all damned reptiles.

Of course, he wouldn't say these things to their face; disliking is disliking, he won't break relations.

"Haha, Six-Eyed Demon King, no need to be angry; this time I'm not here to laugh at you—I've come to cooperate with you." The Twin-Headed Snake King also knows when to stop; he can't keep mocking him, otherwise the Six-Eyed Demon King would really strike.

Both are demon kings with comparable strength; they cannot fight, for this is a rule of the Myriad Demons Hall—no one may fight within its domain, nor may kin fight kin; this is the rule, and also why the Hall has remained strong.

Prohibiting kin from fighting is to prevent kin from killing kin, which would covertly weaken the Hall's strength; such a situation is not allowed.

"Cooperate?" Upon hearing this, the Six-Eyed Demon King's expression grew even colder.

"There's nothing good to cooperate on between us, Twin-Headed Snake King; you'd better go back." The Six-Eyed Demon King does not want to cooperate with him; snakes are cold-blooded and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

The Twin-Headed Snake King has no good reputation; within the Myriad Demons Hall he is shunned by other demon kings, who will neither cooperate with him nor get too close—aside from his vicious tongue, he is also overly gloomy, scheming, and extremely vicious.

Whether dealing with enemies or his own kind, he is extremely vicious.

One careless misstep and you could fall under his influence, becoming one of his meals.

There are plenty of past lessons; the Six-Eyed Demon King does not wish to cooperate with such a dangerous figure—his goal unfulfilled, he might instead end up being devoured by him.

"Six-Eyed Demon King, why be so aloof? I sincerely want to cooperate with you; your setback this time was due to lack of help—if we join forces, we can certainly seize the Mangshan Mountain Range; then the range will be yours, and the demon kings of the Mangshan Demon Palace will be mine—how about that?"

The Twin-Headed Snake King has set his sights on those demon kings as well as on Diewumeng, wanting to devour them to complete his metamorphosis.

The Six-Eyed Demon King simply shook his head: "Twin-Headed Snake King, please."

No cooperation, nor will he agree; the Six-Eyed Demon King will not act together with him.

He does not believe he can control the Twin-Headed Snake King; in the end he will surely be schemed against by this demon.

From the start, cooperation was impossible, so such a thing would never happen.

"Six-Eyed Demon King, you will beg me." The Twin-Headed Snake King rose, walked halfway, turned back, and threw down a line.

The Six-Eyed Demon King watched him leave, his gaze turning cold.

"Hmph, Twin-Headed Snake King, you think I don't know what you're scheming? What you've always wanted isn't them, but me."

"Wanting to devour me to aid your metamorphosis—impossible."

Between them, they can cooperate, or they can mutually devour; especially him and the Twin-Headed Snake King, who are one of the Five Poisons—if they devour each other, it can stimulate their bloodlines to achieve a breakthrough.

What the Twin-Headed Snake King wants is him; his goal has always been that—cooperation, the Mangshan Mountain Range, those are merely excuses.

……

On the Mangshan Mountain Range side, silence fell; all enemies had been cleared, the Mangshan Demon Palace was undergoing reconstruction, the entire range was sealed off—no humans allowed to enter, nor anyone to exit.

This disaster affected too wide an area, requiring time to repair—especially the ground covered by the heavenly tribulation, most of which became its casualties; we need to restore the land, restore those trees, and have dispatched a batch of demon beasts to do the repairs.

Within a few days, repairs were mostly done; the rest is left to time to heal.

The Mangshan Demon Palace also convened a meeting, mainly for Diewumeng to thank everyone's help, while also giving the demon kings a promise: to assist them in advancing through the Tribulation Realm and to protect their Dharma once, repaying the favor.

This she did well; after receiving her promise, the other demon kings breathed a sigh of relief—they also feared that after Diewumeng completed her advancement she might turn against them, but fortunately she did not.

On Longshe Shan side, a guest arrived.

Strictly speaking, it is not one guest, but three.
