Chapter 721

~7 min read 1,363 words

Hearing the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ's words, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes; based on previous intelligence, it instantly guessed the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ's purpose—likely for the Dao Yi Sect.

After all, how arrogant these Human Race Holy Lands are, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor knows full well, just as their Tianlong Holy Land is the same among the Demon Race.

Not to mention suffering a great defeat, they even had a Great Saint Elder killed; it would be strange if the Qingtian Holy Land could swallow this anger.

However, the Tianlong Demon Emperor also didn't explain, but deliberately feigned ignorance.

"Oh, this emperor doesn't recall any possibility of cooperation with your Qingtian Holy Land; don't forget, we are mortal enemies."

"Are there eternal enemies in this world?"

In response, the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ said lightly, the two old immortals are full of schemes, every word a calculation.

Seeing that the conversation had come to this point, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor smiled faintly.

"Go on."

"You know about the Ten Thousand Demons Pass, right?"

"I've heard a little about it."

"Now my Qingtian Holy Land has completely withdrawn from the Ten Thousand Demons Pass; the Yaochi Holy Land and Yunluo Holy Land will not interfere in the Ten Thousand Demons Pass affairs, and the Ten Thousand Demons Pass is now under the responsibility of the Dao Yi Sect."

"If your Demon Race sends troops to attack the Ten Thousand Demons Pass and slaughters the Dao Yi Sect's people, upon success I will surely reward you handsomely."

Indeed, as expected, upon hearing the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ's words, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor showed a faint smile.

To want to use our Demon Race's hands to slay the Dao Yi Sect, this Qingtian Holy Land really lets go of face and is quite scheming.

You know, given the grudges among the various races of Zhongzhou, seeking cooperation with another race like this will surely provoke public outrage; this is tantamount to betrayal.

Ordinary forces wouldn't do such a thing, let alone the Qingtian Holy Land being one of the Human Race's Three Holy Lands; to make such a choice is indeed unexpected.

"It seems the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ is truly forced into a corner."

The Red Dragon Demon Emperor smiled faintly, and the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ could clearly hear the contempt in its words, his face sinking slightly.

"Cut the nonsense, how about it?"

"You're so sure the Demon Race can take the Ten Thousand Demons Pass? The Dao Yi Sect's strength is not weak."

Even if the Qingtian Holy Land has withdrawn, the Ten Thousand Demons Pass's defenses remain in place; moreover, frankly, the Dao Yi Sect's strength is actually not weaker than the Qingtian Holy Land's previous strength in the Ten Thousand Demons Pass, and may even be stronger.

Under these circumstances, the Demon Race cannot guarantee it will definitely capture the Ten Thousand Demons Pass.

Otherwise, it would have succeeded long ago; how could the Ten Thousand Demons Pass still stand today?

Hearing this, the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ obviously had already considered this, and replied without changing expression.

"Inside the Ten Thousand Demons Pass, aside from the Dao Yi Sect, everyone is from my Qingtian Holy Land; when your Demon Race acts, they will naturally cooperate with you, inside and outside working together—how could we not take it?"

"Oh?"

At this, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor's eyes lit up; if that's the case, the chances are actually quite good.

Gazing silently at the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ in the light curtain, on the other side, the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ did not urge but stared silently.

The two remained silent for a while; finally, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor broke the silence.

"Outside the Ten Thousand Demons Pass, within five million li, let my Demon Race slaughter for ten days."

This is the Red Dragon Demon Emperor's demand; regarding human race's elixirs, talisman seals, the Demon Race isn't very interested.

Talisman seals have no spiritual power and cannot be used; elixirs' aid to demon beasts' cultivation is not great.

In the eyes of demon beasts, blood food is the most valuable thing.

After breaking the Ten Thousand Demons Pass, within a five-million-li radius, slaughtering for ten days would be enough to hunt up to tens of millions of blood food.

And the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ naturally also estimated a rough amount right away; moreover, tens of millions is a conservative estimate—if the Demon Race goes crazy, that number could be even higher.

Immediately, the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ's face sank, and he refused without hesitation.

"Impossible."

Faced with the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ's refusal, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor wasn't anxious at all, speaking unhurriedly.

"That's a pity; since that's the case, let's cancel the cooperation."

After saying that, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor added a remark to himself.

"Anyway, my Demon Race has no grudge with the Dao Yi Sect, and those who want to kill them are not my Demon Race."

Hearing this, the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ grit his teeth in silence.

This negotiation was completely controlled by the Red Dragon Demon Emperor; there's nothing to be done, after all, it was he who came knocking.

From the start, the two sides were not on equal footing, so the Demon Race having the upper hand is quite normal.

Seeing the Red Dragon Demon Emperor about to cut off the bloodline transmission, the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ gritted his teeth and said.

"Wait a moment."

"Oh, is the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ changing his mind?"

"Three million li, five days."

"Too little; five million li, five days—this is my bottom line."

Looking at the Red Dragon Demon Emperor's confident appearance, the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Alright, I agree to you."

"Great, then I wish our cooperation pleasant."

The Red Dragon Demon Emperor laughed; this move not only could seize the Human Race's Ten Thousand Demons Pass but also gain a huge amount of blood food for free—looks like a sure profit.

Moreover, once the Ten Thousand Demons Pass obstacle is gone, what the Demon Race does will still have the initiative in their own hands.

All that can be said is that the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ's move is truly muddled; ultimately, hatred has blinded his eyes.

The Red Dragon Demon Emperor thought in a good mood; on the other side, inside the Qingtian Holy Land, after cutting off the bloodline transmission, the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ angrily smashed the things in the room to pieces.

He told no one about this, not even the people in the Holy Land, because nobody would agree to him doing this.

But the hatred in his heart had already made him oblivious to much; thinking of the battle at the Million Great Mountains, recalling his own humiliation, even thinking of those disciples in the Holy Land whose gazes toward him have changed, the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ is filled with hatred.

Therefore, to be able to slay the Dao Yi Sect, he does not hesitate to cooperate with the Demon Race.

Actually, many things are that the Supporting Heaven Shèngzhǔ overthought them; he himself got stuck in a rut.

Holy Land disciples saw no change in his gaze; rather, his own state of mind had changed, so everything around him—people or things—appeared changed.

How you look at the world determines what the world is like in your eyes.

The Supporting Heaven Shèngzhǔ is now like that.

"Dao Yi Sect, it's all your fault; I will not let you off—you must die, die."

He blamed everything on Dao Yi Ou Zong, his eyes full of hatred.

Just as the Supporting Heaven Shèngzhǔ's hatred surged to the heavens, inside the Myriad Monsters Gate, Yu Mo, who had just finished dinner, Qi Xiong and the others watched as so many cultivators gathered in the hall and even in the courtyard, and they spoke with complex expressions.

"Do you all want to turn from evil and return to righteousness?"

"Please, senior sect, agree; we know we were wrong and sincerely repent."

"Heh, so many people came flocking to visit; right off the bat, just like the Wind and Harmony Sect, they all wanted to turn from evil and return to righteousness, directly leaving Qi Xiong and the others dumbfounded."
