Chapter 1730: with translation of chapter title

This place is not suitable for speaking, Heaven Capital Dragon King, please follow me. Diewumeng glanced around; it was not suitable to discuss these matters, the surroundings were too chaotic—who knew if there were demon beasts nearby eavesdropping? If word got out, that would not be good.

"Good." Heaven Capital Dragon King followed Diewumeng back into the Mangshan Demon Palace. After several rounds of renovations, the vast Mangshan Demon Palace had become quite solid, and many Formations had been set up, making it much stronger than before. The Formations of this demon palace could shield a Tribulation Realm Strong One's bombardment without being destroyed.

The Formation opened automatically, sealing off inside from outside. Heaven Capital Dragon King glanced at the Formation and had a rough idea—this Formation was not bad, and also very……solid. Diewumeng arranged for people to bring up various spiritual fruits; one must not neglect etiquette.

Facing a Strong One like Heaven Capital Dragon King, proper etiquette naturally must be observed; one must not let him look down on this place, thinking it is a demon beast's land, a barbaric wilderness—these are the words Diewumeng and the other demon beasts least want to hear.

"Heaven Capital Dragon King, what do you plan to do next? How should our Mangshan Demon Palace cooperate with you?" Diewumeng didn't waste words, saw no need for pleasantries, and directly asked Heaven Capital Dragon King; they were alike, shared the same thoughts, naturally knowing what the other was thinking.

Still, it needed to be spoken aloud to confirm the matter. Diewumeng waited for Heaven Capital Dragon King to speak. He smiled and said: "Naturally, it is to destroy the Corpse Refining Sect. The Corpse Refining Sect has committed countless evils, continually provoking Tian Du Men and the Mangshan Demon Palace, and they have even colluded with sects of Lingzhou—unforgivable."

"How Cangzhou is fought or struggled over is our own affair; joining forces with outsiders to attack any of our powers is not allowed. The Corpse Refining Sect has violated the taboo and must pay the price; otherwise, other powers in Cangzhou will imitate them, wouldn't that throw everything into chaos?"

"As for Cangzhou, we cannot allow people from Lingzhou to interfere, Diewumeng Demon Empress, what do you think?"

Diewumeng nodded: "Heaven Capital Dragon King, you are absolutely right—how we fight among ourselves is our own affair; no matter what, the meat is still rotting in the pot, but if people from Lingzhou intervene, that changes everything."

"Nothing in Cangzhou can be given cheaply to outsiders; Lingzhou has always eyed Cangzhou tigerishly, wanting to annex us—impossible."

"Heaven Capital Dragon King, rest assured, no matter what you do, our Mangshan Demon Palace will cooperate with you—however,"

Heaven Capital Dragon King waved his hand: "Diewumeng Demon Empress, speak freely."

Having reached the most crucial step—profit distribution—the Corpse Refining Sect had been destroyed, leaving behind considerable territory and plenty of spoils.

These are all good things; the Mangshan Demon Palace cannot work for nothing, sacrificing demon beasts in vain and ending up with nothing—a loss-making deal; Diewumeng would not do that.

"I want half of the Corpse Refining Sect's territory, as well as half of their hoarded treasures—techniques, divine abilities, and all kinds of weapons and spiritual medicines; I want half of each."

Diewumeng smiled as she gazed at Heaven Capital Dragon King; everything half, she wanted no more, nor was she greedy.

Heaven Capital Dragon King frowned: "Half is impossible, Diewumeng Demon Empress; this operation is not just my Tian Du Men alone—there's also the Chichen Sect and many clans, all needing a share of the benefits. If you take half, what will we get?"

"At most I can give you one-third; your Mangshan Demon Palace takes one-third, my Tian Du Men takes one-third, and the remaining one-third is to be split evenly among them—the Chichen Sect participated, as did those other clans; it's impossible for us to eat the meat while giving them no soup."

"Eating alone cannot last long, Diewumeng."

The previous Zhang Mang was overly domineering, wanting to eat alone, which is why he was targeted by all factions.

Within Cangzhou, too, there are interests intertwined; humans and demon beasts are not mortal enemies, they fight for their own interests.

Diewumeng furrowed her brows, she stared at Heaven Capital Dragon King before her and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, since Heaven Capital Dragon King has said all this, if I were to oppose, I would not be giving you face—very well, I agree; my Mangshan Demon Palace will take one-third."

It's impossible to take more resources; Diewumeng knows well that one-third is already the limit.

This is also her psychological expectation; wanting more is unlikely, and Heaven Capital Dragon King would not agree.

"Diewumeng Demon Empress, you are far smarter than Zhang Mang." Heaven Capital Dragon King nodded satisfiedly; profit distribution was complete, the most worrisome matter settled, and the remaining matters were no longer matters.

Next came the plan—the plan against the Corpse Refining Sect: how to strike, when to strike, when to increase manpower, continually pressuring the Corpse Refining Sect so they lose more disciples.

The plan was set step by step; Tian Du Men and the Mangshan Demon Palace are the main force, while other powers will naturally join in.

The Corpse Refining Sect has offended too many people; for corpses, they have not hesitated to dig up the ancestral corpses of other clans to refine powerful zombies.

Before, they were no match for the Corpse Refining Sect and dared not act; now it's different, with Tian Du Men and the Mangshan Demon Palace taking the lead, together with the Chichen Sect, three forces surround and attack the Corpse Refining Sect—those clans naturally cannot sit idle, they must deliver a fatal blow to the Corpse Refining Sect.

After two hours, once the specific details had been discussed.

The two reached an agreement; Heaven Capital Dragon King extended his hand and said: "Diewumeng Demon Empress, this is our first cooperation; I hope we work together happily."

"Heaven Capital Dragon King, we will surely work together happily."

The two extended their hands and clasped them together.

Heaven Capital Dragon King observed Diewumeng up close and noticed that this woman had changed; she now carried an indescribable aura.

At the same time, he also caught a familiar scent on her, and couldn't help but smile.

That smile was quite strange, also quite eerie, leaving Diewumeng somewhat puzzled.

"Heaven Capital Dragon King, what is this?"

"Nothing." Heaven Capital Dragon King did not ask, having confirmed something.

Some things can be seen; there's no need to ask face-to-face or speak them out—mutual understanding suffices.

"Diewumeng Demon Empress, have your Mangshan Demon Palace act swiftly; the Corpse Refining Sect will surely not give up easily, and you also need to send people to watch Lingzhou, making sure they do not cross the Mangshan Mountain Range—the Mu Long Clan and the Heavenly Heart Sect will not relent, and the Myriad Demon Palace may also act against Cangzhou." Heaven Capital Dragon King gave this instruction, letting Diewumeng focus on facing those enemies of Lingzhou.

"No problem, Heaven Capital Dragon King; you can rest assured on this point—they cannot possibly cross my Mangshan Mountain Range."

The Mangshan Mountain Range now has three Tribulation Realm experts, their strength advancing by leaps and bounds—it is no longer the Mangshan Demon Palace of old; blocking those enemies is still doable.

Hei Hu had just completed his Advancement, and now he needed slaughter to consolidate his cultivation.
