Chapter 735: Demon Race Protest

Facing the questioning of their own ancestor, the many Demon Emperor Elders of the Celestial Dragon Holy Land all began to stammer.

This.......... we.......... that..........

Seeing the group of Demon Emperors wanting to speak but stopping, the two Demon Emperor Ancestors immediately felt something was wrong, frowned, and shouted coldly.

What are you hemming and hawing for? Speak plainly.

That......... ancestor, you guys later need to be a bit calmer, okay?

Speak.

The other Demon Emperor Elders all......... died, ten elders went missing in Dongzhou, and after........ after.........

After hearing the elders' report, the two ancestors were dazed.

Damn, in just a few short months, the Celestial Dragon Holy Land actually lost so many Demon Emperor Elders?

Just a tiny Dongzhou alone directly lost ten?

Besides saying they went missing, that's just putting it nicely; actually speaking, they're just dead.

The situation is even worse than imagined; the Celestial Dragon Holy Land now can be said to have its overall strength reduced by more than half.

Damn it, are you all a bunch of idiots?

One elder couldn't take it, angrily shouted, 'Damn, those are Demon Emperors—just saying they're gone makes them gone?'

Now the Saint Lord is gone, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor is gone, more than ten Demon Emperor Elders are gone, and the Celestial Dragon Holy Land is being ruined by you guys.

The most outrageous part is that all this was done by a single sect.

"Dao Yi Sect, a Dongzhou sect, damn it, simply damn it."

Inside the hall, two terrifying pressures of Demon Emperor level raged wildly; under these pressures, the many Demon Emperor Elders trembled, terrified.

An elder mustered courage and spoke.

"Ancestor, please calm down; for now we should quickly rescue the Saint Lord and the Red Dragon Ancestor, or else we might not be able to keep them."

Upon hearing this, the two ancestors forcibly suppressed their anger; yes, the most crucial thing now is to rescue the Celestial Dragon Saint Lord and the Red Dragon Demon Emperor.

Right now they were merely captured alive by the Dao Yi Sect; who knows what will happen if we drag this on.

"Hurry up and contact the Dao Yi Sect."

One elder roared angrily; upon hearing this, the elders dared not object and immediately contacted the human cultivators inside the Myriad Demon Pass.

"We're eating Demon Emperor today."

"What does Demon Emperor taste like?"

"Dream on; the upper sect already said Demon Emperor is only for those who have merit, and it must be chosen on an auspicious day."

"Demon Emperor is fine too, Demon Emperor is fine too."

Inside the Myriad Demon Pass, the cultivators' meal was satisfying; today they directly killed a Demon Emperor.

For many cultivators, let alone Demon Emperor, they haven't even eaten Demon Emperor; today they finally got to taste it, feeling excited inside.

As for Demon Emperor, it's probably out of the question; such a precious ingredient couldn't be shared by everyone, the Dao Yi Sect itself doesn't have enough to eat.

While they were eating happily, a Saint suddenly received a contact from the Celestial Dragon Holy Land, saying they hoped to talk with the Dao Yi Sect to ransom back the Celestial Dragon Saint Lord and the Red Dragon Demon Emperor, and even a great price could be discussed.

Hearing this, the Saint's face turned a bit weird; moreover, damn, talk?

Don't you know how your Saint Lord died? And you still dare to come?

However he didn't say much more, just saying he would report to the upper sect.

And Qi Xiong and the others, upon learning this, restored to the same guess as that Saint.

"Negotiations are welcome, but let your Demon Emperor Ancestor come personally to talk; Demon Emperors aren't qualified."

Hearing Qi Xiong and the others' words, the Saint's mouth twitched.

"The Celestial Dragon Holy Land shouldn't be stupid to this extent, right?"

"Never mind that; if we get another Demon Emperor, maybe we can also sip some broth."

"Exactly, just sweet‑talk them well."

"Can this work?"

"It can work; if you won't say it, I will."

"If the Demon Race wants to talk, then let's talk."

Soon, that Saint gave a reply, saying to let your Demon Emperor personally come over, and to be able to fool these ingredients, he also babbled on a lot.

However, demon beasts, though not very smart, are not fools either.

After ending the call, that Demon Emperor Elder's face turned extremely ugly, and he immediately cursed.

"Vile humans, are you treating us all as fools? How did our Saint Lord die, do you think we don't know?"

"Moreover, damn, letting the ancestor personally go to talk—using your vile methods, can he even come back?"

After cursing, that Demon Emperor Elder quickly reported the matter to the two ancestors and honestly stated his opinion.

Upon hearing this, the two ancestors had no reply.

Naturally they also couldn't possibly go personally to the Myriad Demon Pass; the fates of the Red Dragon Demon Emperor and the Celestial Dragon Saint Lord are still fresh in mind, and damn, going there would officially make them idiots.

But right now, it's also impossible to just watch and not rescue.

"Ancestor, I actually have an idea."

"Speak."

"The Dao Yi Sect is vile and shameless, but humanity is ultimately led by the Three Holy Lands; better we bypass the Dao Yi Sect and negotiate directly with the Three Holy Lands, unite other Demon Race holy lands, put pressure on humanity, and force them to release the Saint Lord and the Red Dragon Ancestor."

"The Dao Yi Sect is really shady; frankly, they'd rather face humanity's Three Holy Lands than deal with the Dao Yi Sect—who knows when they'll be schemed by the Dao Yi Sect."

"Moreover, humanity is ultimately led by the Three Holy Lands; directly pressuring the Three Holy Lands is indeed currently the best option."

Hearing this, the two ancestors' eyes lit up; this seems indeed a good method.

After a brief moment of thought, the two ancestors nodded in unison.

Okay, your idea is not bad.

At that moment, the two elders began contacting the other holy lands of the demon race.

Wanting to pressure the Human Race's Three Holy Lands, relying solely on their Tianlong Holy Land is clearly insufficient; moreover, the Tianlong Holy Land is still recruiting heavy casualties, it's odd if the Human Race's Three Holy Lands would pay you any heed.

Therefore we must unite the other holy lands of the demon race.

However, there's no need to worry; although there may be competition in ordinary times, when facing foreign tribes or when the survival of the race is at stake, everyone can still distinguish what's important.

The two elders of the Tianlong Holy Land, in order to rescue their own Holy Lord and the Red Dragon Demon Emperor, began to tirelessly travel about.

Meanwhile, inside the Myriad Demon Pass, having received no aid from the Tianlong Holy Land for several days, bored and drinking, Hong Zun casually remarked.

"What's going on with this Tianlong Holy Land? Have they abandoned their own Holy Lord and the Demon Emperor Elder?"

"They're not idiots; how could they possibly come back?"

"They probably aren't holding back anything good."

"Never mind that; speaking of which, when are we going to eat the Demon Emperor?"

"No rush; once the two martial uncles are ready, we'll get started."

Wang Man and Yuan Cang have been in seclusion these past two days, adjusting their condition in order to have greater confidence in breaking through to the Great Emperor Realm, while everyone naturally has been waiting for them.

At the same time that the members of the Dao Yi Sect were waiting to try the Demon Emperor's flavor again, the Human Race's Three Holy Lands simultaneously received contact from the demon race and an invitation to negotiate.
