Chapter 1230

Just thinking about the ugly faces of the other demon emperors, Bo Xun got so angry his teeth itched.

Such a tiny Haotu Shijie, a closed world that has never even come into contact with Zhu Tian Wan Jie—and you could actually lose?

With fury burning in his eyes, the next day, the many Demon God Kings under Bo Xun gathered together in the Demon Emperor's Hall.

Seeing Bo Xun with a dark, iron‑blue face and saying nothing, the multitude of Demon God Kings also lowered their heads and remained silent.

Those who knew Bo Xun's temperament well all understood that at this moment Bo Xun was on the verge of exploding, and now was not the time to provoke him, lest they draw his wrath.

The hall was so quiet it felt oppressive; after a while, Bo Xun finally spoke in a cold voice.

"What's wrong, all mute? Nobody speaking?"

This................

Hearing that, the multitude of Demon God Kings exchanged glances in secret, for a moment not knowing what to say.

Seeing this, Bo Xun let out a cold snort, and at that moment one of the Demon God Kings finally rose and spoke.

"Demon Emperor, this defeat of Bei Zun is eighty percent due to his underestimating the enemy; without first ascertaining the situation in Haotu Shijie, he rashly sent troops—if he hadn't lost, that would be strange."

"Exactly, this Haotu Shijie is absolutely no match for our demon race; Bei Zun's loss is entirely his own fault."

"Bei Zun even surrendered to the Human Race; he is the disgrace of our demon race."

"Exactly, this person is the disgrace of our demon race."

"Please, Demon Emperor, issue an order to expel Bei Zun from the demon race, to carve out his heart and scrape his bones, leaving him no place to bury himself."

"Exactly, please Demon Emperor, severely punish Bei Zun."

Someone spoke up, and the other Demon God Kings quickly followed suit, though their accusations were clearly aimed at Bo Xun.

Who made you suffer a crushing defeat? Who made you lose and still be captured, along with tens of thousands of demon warriors?

And in the end you even surrendered, damn it—whose pot is this if not yours? No, this was originally Bei Zun's affair; what does it have to do with them?

They never really paid any attention to Haotu Shijie at all.

If it weren't for this crushing defeat of Bei Zun, they would probably have forgotten all about Haotu Shijie.

Listening to the words of the crowd below, Bo Xun kept a blank expression, waiting until the multitude of Demon God Kings had finished speaking before he coldly opened his mouth.

"You're done speaking? Then, according to you, this matter has nothing at all to do with you."

"Bei Zun suffered a crushing defeat; have you ever thought about avenging our demon race's past humiliation by conquering Haotu Shijie?"

This.............

Hearing that, the multitude of Demon God Kings were stunned, "What does this have to do with us?"

Originally it was you who assigned Bei Zun to handle Haotu Shijie; now that Bei Zun has suffered a crushing defeat, what does it have to do with us?

We also can't manage the affairs of Haotu Shijie.

This is just taking out your anger on us.

Even though they understood, they dared not show the slightest sign on their faces, each lowering their head and falling back into silence.

However, it was obvious that Bo Xun's anger would not dissipate so easily.

He again turned his gaze toward Yi Qi and spoke coldly.

"Yi Qi, I recall that initially you assisted Bei Zun in handling the affairs of Haotu Shijie, right?"

"Yes."

"And the result? Is it really like this?"

"Demon Emperor, please see clearly: Bei Zun acted arbitrarily and dictatorially; I have reminded him repeatedly, but he refused to listen, which ultimately led to the crushing defeat."

What Yi Qi said is not false; he indeed advised Bei Zun, though not as exaggeratedly as he claimed, and he did remind him repeatedly.

Being able to say it all once is already not bad.

With an icy stare fixed on Yi Qi, under Bo Xun's gaze, Yi Qi felt very uneasy.

If Bo Xun insists on finding someone to vent his anger upon, Yi Qi would absolutely be the most likely to be implicated, after all he is involved in this matter.

Those five Demon Caves are still within his territory.

Fortunately, in the end Bo Xun averted his gaze, as if he had no intention of pursuing the matter further.

Bo Xun also understood that punishing Yi Qi now would be pointless, and moreover, his knowledge of Haotu Shijie was the greatest among those present.

"Yi Qi."

"Here."

"Talk about Haotu Shijie and the Human Race; you all listen carefully."

This time, the multitude of Demon God Kings did not play any tricks; each listened attentively.

Upon hearing that, Yi Qi also truthfully related to everyone present the situation as he understood it.

"Actually, the situation in Haotu Shijie is not complicated; there is no Emperor Sovereign Realm existence within it, only this Human Race is somewhat sinister, or rather, utterly evil.................."

Under Yi Qi's narration, the people present gradually deepened their understanding of Haotu Shijie and the Human Race.

However, the things Yi Qi understood were also rather one‑sided.

In short, it basically boiled down to the Human Race being sinister, so one must be extra cautious, etc.

Upon hearing Yi Qi's words, Bo Xun spoke again.

"Bring them up."

Not long after, the demon god under Yi Qi's command, together with the two simple‑minded demon gods who had fled back from Haotu Shijie, were brought into the hall.

These three had personally been to Haotu Shijie, and the information had been relayed from them.

Bo Xun, in front of the assembled Demon God Kings, had the three truthfully recount the situation in Haotu Shijie, including the matter of Bei Zun.

Hearing that, the three dared not hesitate and immediately blurted out everything they knew.

However, when speaking of Bei Zun, the two simple‑minded demon gods wore a look of grinding teeth, their contempt plainly visible.

As the three finished speaking, Bo Xun rose to his feet, looked down upon the assembled Demon God Kings, and spoke in a deep voice.

Did everyone hear that?

We heard it.

Bei Zun, I am the Demon God King of the demon race, a warrior of the demon race; I once trusted him so greatly, but he betrayed the demon race and willingly became a captive—he is the shame of our demon race.

In this battle, our demon race suffered a crushing defeat in Haotu Shijie; this is your shame, it is also my Bo Xun's shame, and even more the shame of our demon race. What do you say we should do next?

Flatten Haotu Shijie, wipe away past shame.

All the Demon God Kings naturally understand Bo Xun's meaning; they are planning to attack Haotu Shijie again.

In fact, Bo Xun has been thinking this way from the very beginning.

Such a tremendous humiliation; we must seize all of Haotu Shijie to be able to contain it.

Otherwise, Bo Xun, as one of the Eight Great Demon Emperors, would fail to take even a tiny Haotu Shijie, and the other demon emperors would likely look down on him even more.

By then, his prestige among the demon race would surely plummet.

Even if he possesses Emperor Sovereign cultivation, those under him probably would not sincerely submit to him.

Therefore, attacking Haotu Shijie is inevitable; we must seize Haotu Shijie and wipe away past shame in order to minimize the impact of this matter.

And Bei Zun—when the time comes, he will personally kill him, surrender to the Human Race, and even bring so many demon warriors; good, that's really good.

Since you fear death so much, let you experience a fate worse than death.

Bo Xun's eyes blazing with hatred, this time he will personally lead the demon warriors to level Haotu Shijie.
