Chapter 1900

In dealing with one's own people, you can't just keep beating them; this trick, Diewumeng learned from Chen Chuyang, works every time; for his own subordinates, it's very useful; winning over all his subordinates' hearts, even the underlings of demon kings like Heihu have mostly become his people.

Nowadays, Diewumeng uses this trick on the Six-Eyed Demon King as well, saying: "Six-Eyed Demon King, if you work for me, you'll never lack elixirs; an Eighth-grade Pill, even if you searched the entire Lingzhou, you couldn't find one."

"Inside the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, being able to give you a Grade Six Elixir is already very good; an Eighth-grade Pill, you're not yet qualified to take it; but if you follow me, I dare not say anything else, but elixirs are still available; giving you one or two is no problem at all."

"As for me, I treat my own people very well and will not mistreat them; if you do what I tell you, rewards are indispensable."

This time, Diewumeng wasn't just making empty promises; she genuinely gave him benefits. The Six-Eyed Demon King obtained the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill, his mood was greatly excited, and upon hearing Diewumeng's words, he was naturally very happy.

An Eighth-grade Pill, just one such pill, is enough for him to break through.

Diewumeng's outright gift of an Eighth-grade Pill shows she still has plenty of such pills; such a generous master is certainly worth following. Looking at the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, good things are shared internally among them, whereas he, wanting to obtain some resources, would find it nearly impossible.

All along this journey, he has relied solely on his own labor to earn resources; relying on the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, he would have died long ago.

Any faction values its core; core personnel are truly one's own people, whereas he is not one of them—just an outsider.

In comparison, Diewumeng is generous and treats him without distinction, easing the Six-Eyed Demon King's heart considerably; he quickly stood up, put away the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill, and cupped his hands, saying: "Diewumeng, from now on, just give me any orders directly."

"I, the Six-Eyed Demon King, will not obey in appearance while defying in secret."

"Good, Six-Eyed Demon King, from now on you are my person, Diewumeng's, and a member of the Mangshan Demon Palace; since you are one of my own, I will not shortchange you." Diewumeng was pleased; the Six-Eyed Demon King is a smart person who knows how to act.

Those who discern the times are outstanding; for such smart people, binding interests is the best and most secure method.

With a wave of his hand, a bottle of Seventh-grade Elixir appeared before him—the Azure Dragon Grand Year Pill, which likewise possesses the Azure Dragon Clan's bloodline; for the Six-Eyed Demon King, it is a supreme good elixir.

"These are also for me?" the Six-Eyed Demon King's body trembled, his whole person becoming excited.

A bottle of elixir—this time, not just a single pill, but a whole bottle of Seventh-grade Elixir, simply given to himself.

What treatment, what favor—how could one not be excited?

"Not bad, since you are one of my own, I will not shortchange my own people." Diewumeng gazed deeply at the Six-Eyed Demon King, having given you benefits, hoping you will satisfy me; otherwise, I don't mind killing you.

The Six-Eyed Demon King immediately cupped his hands and said: "From now on, if the lord has any task, I, the subordinate, will not shirk even at the cost of my life."

"Hahaha, no need to be so serious; just do your job well." Diewumeng laughed; this was exactly the result she wanted. Controlling his life and death indeed can make him work, but then he would go through the motions, obey in appearance while defying in secret, and might even ruin her affairs.

Moreover, he would still try to find a way to break the seal; to make him completely one's own, one must let him… voluntarily work for oneself. Achieving this is not easy; benefits are the easiest way to move people and to open their hearts.

"Now, we can talk properly about the Kunpeng Guardian." Diewumeng wanted to learn more about the Kunpeng Guardian; she had heard quite a bit, but still worried about missing something.

As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles.

The Six-Eyed Demon King is a demon king of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, so he naturally knows more inside information; these are exactly what Diewumeng wants to know, as well as what Qinglong Daoren and Chen Chuyang want to know; the forces in Lingzhou may not necessarily tell one, or they may conceal things.

Their cooperation is merely verbal; in reality, they still guard against each other.

"No problem." The Six-Eyed Demon King put away the elixirs; he was genuinely happy, this wave wasn't a loss—following Diewumeng seems better, even wonderful.

"The Kunpeng Guardian is one of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall's Dharma Protectors; within the hall, his strength is the strongest below the Demon Emperor, ranking above us twelve demon kings. As for his exact cultivation level, I don't know, but according to other demon kings' guesses, it's roughly around the Seventh Tribulation."

"At his peak, the Kunpeng Guardian can fight above his level; his speed is unmatched under heaven, and his mastery of transformation techniques is peerless."

"The cultivation technique he practices is called the Kunpeng Method, a legendary Kunpeng technique; fortunately, his technique is incomplete, not whole, and precisely because of this, his cultivation path has encountered problems; many years ago, he got stuck at this stage, unable to make any progress."

"Over countless years, he has been trying to break through, seeking the complete Kunpeng Method; unfortunately, his luck is poor and he can't find it, and this has also injured himself…"

The Six-Eyed Demon King looked around, lowered his voice, and said: "I've heard his cultivation method has gone wrong; the incomplete Kunpeng Method drives him mad, and he may enter a frenzy at any moment. The Kunpeng Guardian wants to make up the missing parts, but I don't know how he does it, which makes himself very strange."

"In short, the Kunpeng Guardian has serious problems, and this is no secret within the entire Ten Thousand Demon Hall."

"When the time comes for us to act against him, we must be careful and not get close to him."

Diewumeng asked doubtfully: "Has his cultivation run into problems?"

"Indeed, the problem is serious; he has been trying to resolve it, which is why he went to exterminate the Black Water True Dragon clan, aiming to seize the Black Water True Dragon clan's Black Water Seal and their holy medicine, Black Water Profound Ice Marrow, to suppress his own abnormality."

"Perhaps he intends to use the Black Water Seal to alter his condition, thereby controlling the Lingzhou rivers and becoming the River Lord, then using this opportunity to achieve a breakthrough and fully transform into a Kunpeng."

"Diewumeng, you just need to know about this matter; don't spread it."

"Now the Kunpeng Guardian, gone mad, is searching for the Black Water True Dragon clan's princess Aohei; he likely has his sights on the Mangshan Mountain Range; if you want to kill him, this is a good opportunity."

"I'm telling you, inside the Ten Thousand Demon Hall we are also entangled in some matter, unable to free our hands; this opportunity must be seized."

"Inside the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, many hope the Kunpeng Guardian will fall; those people will obstruct the hall's others, time is limited, so we must fight quickly and decisively."

The Six-Eyed Demon King told Diewumeng everything he knew; these matters, he originally didn't want to say, but he wanted these people to be killed by the Kunpeng Guardian, preferably to perish together, so that he could reap the benefits as the fisherman.
