Chapter 1901

These secrets are known only to insiders; the Six-Eyed Demon King originally didn't want to tell outsiders, letting these people probe and search—wanting to find them naturally costs lives, with no knowing how many must die to uncover these secrets, but he doesn't care; the dead aren't his, so he couldn't care less.

Best if both sides suffer losses; that benefits him, and he can watch from the mountains as tigers fight. When they've fought to near exhaustion, that's his moment to strike—he can kill the Kunpeng Guardian, take everything he has, and… occupy the Mangshan Mountain Range, successfully control the Mangshan Demon Palace; if the plan goes as intended, he will be the biggest beneficiary.

What a pity—this step was wrong from the start, he was terribly mistaken, Diewumeng's strength broke his defenses and made him explode.

"Inside the Myriad Demon Hall, it's not as united as you think; we also have our own ideas and interests. Not to mention the Kunpeng Guardian, even we demon kings would fight each other for our own interests."

"The twelve demon kings, the left and right Dharma Protectors, and those demon generals below—all act for resources."

"Don't think our demon kings' high status means anything; actually, inside the Myriad Demon Hall, it's not likely for us to advance further."

The Six-Eyed Demon King sighed and said: "Inside the Myriad Demon Hall, the hierarchy is strict; it's not as if you can just cross over whenever you want. For ordinary demon beasts to find a way out is neither easy nor simple."

"It can only be said to be truly difficult—harder than ascending to heaven. Over countless years, ordinary demon beasts aspiring to become demon generals or kings are always the elite among demon beasts; wanting to go further is not likely."

"I don't want to resign myself to this, only to be killed later by those below and have my demon king position taken. I know among the twelve demon kings, many are training their own subordinates, all aiming to replace me; those demon kings ally with each other, but I am alone."

"Because they look down on me, why should I look up to them?"

"Diewumeng, you're fortunate—being inside the Mangshan Mountain Range, pressure is low, the path to demon king isn't that hard; your demon kings and ours are incomparable, not on the same level. The demon kings of the Myriad Demon Hall are all Tribulation Realm powerhouses; without entering the Tribulation Realm, one cannot be called a demon king."

The demon kings of the Mangshan Mountain Range, once inside the Myriad Demon Hall, amount to nothing—only Diewumeng is worth noting; others aren't in his eyes, nor in the Hall's. Staying in the Mangshan Mountain Range has pros and cons: you can stand out, but the future ends up just like that.

The Myriad Demon Hall can let you advance further, but ordinary bloodlines aren't given important roles; you're not one of our own, so you can't touch the core, nor receive focused cultivation. Impure, weak bloodline… that's trash, not worth valuing.

"In short, if the Kunpeng Guardian dies, it can fatten many; whether it's our Myriad Demon Hall or your Mangshan Demon Palace, we'll gain huge benefits—likewise, we might also face annihilation; opportunity and death coexist."

"If the human forces of Lingzhou join forces with your Mangshan Demon Palace, there's a high chance of killing the Kunpeng Guardian; plus my help and other demon kings blocking the Myriad Demon Hall's people, it'll give you greater convenience. If this time you fail to kill the Kunpeng Guardian, you'll never get another chance—instead, the Kunpeng Guardian will bear a grudge against you, and then your tragedy will come."

"So we must kill him, at any cost; Diewumeng, we are now our own people—I hope you can kill him, and I hope you can advance further; the stronger you are, the safer I am."

The Six-Eyed Demon King clearly understands that his safety is closely tied to Diewumeng; the stronger Diewumeng is, the safer he becomes.

Afterward, even if exposed, one can still seek refuge with Diewumeng.

Inside the Myriad Demon Hall, the treatment of traitors is utterly unanimous: kill without pardon.

"Don't worry, you're my person; without my permission, no one can kill you." Diewumeng spoke again, steadying the Six-Eyed Demon King's heart.

"Good."

What the Six-Eyed Demon King wanted to hear was just that; he was pleased, and Diewumeng is trustworthy.

"Go."

"Yes."

Diewumeng saw off the Six-Eyed Demon King, then Lan Tiansheng appeared and softly asked: "Diewumeng, do you trust him?"

"I don't believe him, but his life and death are under my control—he can't escape. The seal on him is higher than yours; he couldn't possibly break it, and no one in the Myriad Demon Hall can."

"As long as this person can work for us, that's enough; he'll naturally know how to choose—how the Myriad Demon Hall treats him, what he can gain by staying there, he knows better than anyone."

"If it were you, would you stay in the Myriad Demon Hall forever?"

Lan Tiansheng chuckled: "Of course not; those above treat me badly, so I naturally won't let them off easy."

"Just like me back then, the Void Forgetting wanted to kill me, devour me, and achieve himself; I wouldn't surrender, I'd find a way to kill him too. The Six-Eyed Demon King's situation is like mine back then—he saw the benefits we gave him, so he naturally has ideas."

"Soon, he'll stand with us on a united front."

"Not bad, that's the idea." Diewumeng smiled: "Just a few pills—being able to win over a demon king to work for us, why not?"

"The Myriad Demon Hall is very strong; to defeat them, we need to divide them, cause internal strife."

"Don't you think this is good? Once we have the first demon king, a second will follow."

"How many inside the Myriad Demon Hall are dissatisfied with the Demon Emperor?"

Diewumeng narrowed her eyes; she is no longer who she once was, the future she sees is different, and the pattern she perceives is not the same.

Her big-picture view has greatly improved; she naturally knows the Six-Eyed Demon King's importance. What she needs isn't loyalty, but a nail—rooted in the Myriad Demon Hall, ready to do her bidding anytime; other demands are few.

Lingzhou eyes Cangzhou, and the Myriad Demon Hall also has its sights on them; Diewumeng naturally won't sit idle—she'll let the other side know her tactics, for the Mangshan Demon Palace is not something they can casually manipulate.

"Since you've thought it through, I won't waste words; I just want to remind you that this Six-Eyed Demon King is not simple, his ambition is great, he's not trustworthy—if you don't control his life and death, he's very dangerous."

"He is a poisonous snake that will bite you at any moment."

Lan Tiansheng reminded again, not wanting Diewumeng to come to harm, nor wishing her to overtrust an outsider.

Outsiders remain outsiders; the Six-Eyed Demon King has shown no loyalty or faithfulness, thus he's not trustworthy.

"I know what to do." Diewumeng nodded, then soothed: "Lan Tiansheng, rest assured—I still know who are my own people."

In short, you are the one who belongs; the Six-Eyed Demon King is merely a pawn.
