Chapter 1903

Between Cangzhou and Lingzhou, nothing can go wrong; at the very least, our Myriad Monster Hall cannot launch a large-scale invasion of Cangzhou. I hope you understand this.

Cangzhou may be the weakest, but the higher-ups don't allow us to do that; if we did, Lingzhou would also face invasions from other forces, and the enemies we Myriad Monster Hall face are too many. Ultimately, this world is humanity's world—humans are the protagonists of heaven and earth.

Whether it's Lingzhou or Cangzhou, you need to understand one thing: the enemies we face are not only internal but also external; if we go too far, the enemies that come won't be just from the Tribulation Realm.

The Myriad Monster Hall needs to lie low, needs to become stronger; many eyes are watching us, we cannot afford to make a mistake.

Myriad Demon Palace - Myriad Demon Palace

Pig Dharma Protector earnestly advised, urging the Kunpeng Guardian not to act impulsively and not to strike out of momentary anger.

Cangzhou and Lingzhou are different; those forces in Lingzhou, if they are destroyed, they are destroyed, and the Myriad Monster Hall can cover for them, but Cangzhou is truly different—once a war between prefectures breaks out, it's no small matter, involving the lives and deaths of hundreds of millions, and it will quickly spread to mortals.

This is the key point: mortals are a taboo, must not be touched; whether they are them or cultivators, it is expressly forbidden to act against mortals—more precisely, large-scale slaughter of mortals is prohibited, and once such deaths occur, someone will surely investigate.

By then, the investigators won't be from Lingzhou or Cangzhou themselves, but from other, even stronger forces; once discovered, the outcome will be truly miserable.

Mortals are the foundation of those sects and cultivators; human Strong Ones clearly understand this, so they pay close attention to mortals' life and death. As for conflicts among mortals, or between lowly demon beasts and humans, they won't intervene—survival of the fittest is the natural law.

Demon Emperor, Your Excellency - Demon Emperor, Your Excellency

The Myriad Monster Hall is the same, bound by this prohibition; likewise, ordinary wild beasts and lowly demon beasts are the same—human Strong Ones cannot intervene, letting them resolve things themselves; if they lose, they die.

If the Kunpeng Guardian goes to Cangzhou and takes action, the commotion will be too great, drawing down human Strong Ones; then it will become troublesome.

Pig Dharma Protector did not want him to act impulsively or recklessly; upon hearing this, the Kunpeng Guardian said: "One of my Split Souls has been extinguished; I must kill the culprit, otherwise I cannot swallow this anger."

"Pig Dharma Protector, rest assured; once I kill the culprit, I will naturally withdraw."

Pig Dharma Protector looked at the Kunpeng Guardian and said: "Do you think you can withdraw? The Mangshan Demon Palace will not allow you to do this; if they resist, what will you do? Slaughter them all?"

Family Head Mulong Tian - Family Head Mulong Tian

If the Mangshan Demon Palace is destroyed, human forces will become even stronger—this is not what the Monster Emperor wishes to see. Kunpeng Guardian, do you still not understand? The Monster Emperor does not want you to go to the Mangshan Mountain Range.

Tribulation Realm - Tribulation Realm

Deliberately pulling him back, urging him not to act and not to be impulsive.

The news that one of his Split Souls had been killed could not be hidden from them.

"But I'm not willing!" the Kunpeng Guardian glared at the Pig Dharma Protector, fists clenched, unwilling to just let the culprit go like that.

Anyone who dares to exterminate his Split Soul must bear the punishment they deserve.

"Not resigned, so what?" the Pig Dharma Protector snorted coldly; he knew the nature of the Kunpeng Guardian and also knew what he intended to do.

"The Black Water True Dragon clan has been wiped out, the Azure Dragon clan has also been wiped out; they refused to submit to our Myriad Demon Hall, so their annihilation serves them right—but you, don't go too far. The dragon clans are strong; if they learn you have exterminated two dragon clans in succession, the other dragon clans will not let it rest."

"Kunpeng Guardian, just give up; Ao Hei cannot die."

That is the sole survivor of the Black Water True Dragon clan; kill her, and you will truly provoke public outrage. The dragon clans are strong; once they join forces, even our Myriad Demon Hall will not be able to get away with it.

You must understand that dragon clans are dragon clans, demon beasts are demon beasts; the two are not a single entity.

All dragon clans consider themselves superior, and they do not see themselves as part of the demon beasts.

"Your plan may fail." The Pig Dharma Protector saw through all his thoughts at a glance, leaving the Kunpeng Guardian silent.

The Kunpeng Guardian never expected the Pig Dharma Protector to know his purpose, also to know his plan—a plan that no one had told anyone; how could he know?

"How do you know?"

The Pig Dharma Protector gave a light smile: "Everything you have done can be hidden from others, but not from the Demon Emperor."

"Kunpeng Guardian, hold back."

The Kunpeng Guardian closed his eyes, remained silent for a long time, then spoke: "Pig Dharma Protector, the murderer—I will surely kill him; you need not stop me."

"I will settle it soon; I won't cause trouble for the Demon Emperor."

The Pig Dharma Protector shook his head: "Kunpeng Guardian, it's not that I don't trust you, but this is an order, so you cannot leave for now."

His purpose is to block him, prevent him from leaving the Myriad Demon Hall, and not let him leave the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

"Pig Dharma Protector, must you block me?"

"This is the Demon Emperor's order." the Pig Dharma Protector said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, the Kunpeng Guardian fell silent again.

After a moment, he spoke: "Since it is the Demon Emperor's order, I will obey."

"Kunpeng Guardian, it so happens we haven't discussed the Dao in a long time; today, let us discuss the Dao together."

"Good."

The Kunpeng Guardian was detained in the Myriad Demon Hall, temporarily unable to leave.

The outskirts of the Mangshan Mountain Range.

Members of the Mulong clan arrived, as did members of the Heavenly Heart Sect, coming ahead of time to set up the layout.

The two sides met; Elder Minghu greeted them with a smile: "Mulong Wenyi, I never expected it would be you who came this time; does Family Head Mulong Tian really allow you to come?"

Mulong Wenyi nodded and said: "Nothing to regret, Elder Minghu; how are the preparations?"

"Everything is ready; we are just waiting for the Kunpeng Guardian to arrive, Mulong Wenyi, and where is Family Head Mulong Tian?" Elder Minghu searched for the presence of Family Head Mulong Tian; he felt uneasy that the family head had not come.

The Mulong clan has only a few members worth noting; aside from the deceased, only Mulong Tian remains—of course, we cannot rule out the clan's die‑hard elders; outwardly the clan's strength is not weak, and behind the scenes it is not lacking either.

A clan capable of surviving many years in Lingzhou—how could it be lacking?

"The family head is on his way and will arrive soon." Mulong Wenyi glanced around, nodded in satisfaction; Elder Minghu may not be strong in combat, but his other abilities are truly outstanding, an indispensable presence in the Heavenly Heart Sect.

Such talent is very important to a sect and a family; if his strength were a bit greater, that would naturally be best.

"Very well, then; let us set up the formation together."

"Good."
