Chapter 832

Panting heavily, Hong Zun glared fiercely at the corpse of the Demon King Gui Xiao, silently cursing.

"Really, what a piece of trash. You're supposed to be a mighty Demon Emperor, yet you got killed by a little brat at the Heavenly Human realm? You've utterly disgraced the Demon Race."

I feel frustrated, like wishing iron could become steel. You say, how can this guy be so fragile? A little messing around and he's dead.

Angry as he was, the facts were what they were, and Hong Zun could do nothing; he lifted his head to look at Xu Jie, forcing an extremely strained smile.

And upon seeing his Shīzūn's expression, Xu San instantly knew something was wrong.

As expected, the next second Hong Zun smiled narrowly and spoke.

"Disciple, listen to your master; you can't handle this Demon Emperor—let me, your master, do it."

"A corpse is a corpse, but it's better than nothing; besides, when the time comes I can have a good talk with that kid Ye Changqing and maybe snag a share of the meat."

Too bad, Hong Zun thought too simply, or rather, he forgot what kind of rebellious disciple Xu Jie is—this guy's got a stubborn streak.

So as soon as his words fell, Xu Jie shook his head without hesitation, like a rattle drum.

"Shīzūn, rest easy; a mere Demon Emperor's flesh is nothing—I can handle it easily."

"You.............."

Upon hearing that, Hong Zun froze—good grief, he almost forgot that his own disciples were all rebellious.

"Xu Laosan, how have I treated you all these years, Shīzūn?"

In that case, all that's left is to appeal to sentiment, but Xu Jie is clearly impervious to persuasion; right in front of Hong Zun, he stowed the Demon Emperor Gui Xiao's corpse into his space ring before speaking.

"Shīzūn has always been good to me, but as the saying goes, even brothers must settle accounts clearly; however, Shīzūn, rest assured—when the disciples get a bite of meat, you'll definitely get a sip of broth."

I.......... I really, damn, thank you.

His teeth clenched, making a clicking sound; seeing his master's grim expression, Xu Jie, being smart, said nothing more and turned, dashing into the valley.

"Shīzūn, take care; I have other business, I'll go ahead."

Having said that, he vanished from before Hong Zun and the others.

With Xu Jie's departure, Shi Song and the others refused to comply.

"I told you not to fight; look, now nobody gets anything to eat."

"You're blaming me? Then why did you fight?"

"I am the Second Elder of the main seat, in charge of the Discipline Hall; it is only fitting that I handle the distribution."

"Get lost."

In the hustle and bustle, they ended up not getting even a single hair, which left Hong Zun and the others unable to accept it for a moment.

Moreover, as seniors, they'd feel embarrassed to just snatch it outright.

Besides, Xu Jie had already stored it in his space ring; although they didn't dare, they still wanted to save face.

Having failed to obtain the Demon Emperor, Hong Zun and the others could only vent their anger on the Demon Kings.

Next, these Demon Kings on the demon front line fell straight into despair.

Facing a group of Great Saints, these Demon Kings, frankly speaking, had their minds completely blank.

I damn well, what heinous crime have I committed to deserve this?

But Hong Zun and the others gave them no chance at all, attacking outright; having learned from before, they gave no opening, binding them first and then talking.

Thus, one after another, the Demon Kings were captured under Hong Zun and the others' pursuit.

Without warning, Dao Yi Shengdi suddenly took action, utterly crushing the demon front line; countless demon beasts either fled, died, or were captured.

The news quickly reached the Three Holy Lands of the demon race; upon hearing it, the ancestors of each holy land wore grim expressions.

Gathering again via Mìfǎ, at this moment an ancestor of the Fire Phoenix Holy Land spoke with an icy expression.

"We just finished drafting our plan and haven't even started acting, yet Dao Yi Shengdi struck first—what's going on?"

"Perhaps it's just a coincidence."

"A coincidence? Hah, is there really such a perfect coincidence? Moreover, if nothing special were happening, Dao Yi Shengdi would mobilize everyone, even several Great Saints appearing."

It couldn't be a coincidence; at least in the eyes of the demon race's elders, this is definitely not a coincidence.

And if it's not a coincidence, then it means there's a traitor among the demon race?

Thinking this, all the demon emperors turned their gazes to the three original ancestors of the Qingtian Holy Land.

Faced with the gaze of the many demon emperors, the three could naturally guess what they were thinking.

Their anger surged—was this an overreach? Without a word, they were immediately suspected.

Actually, this is normal, after all, who made you humans?

On the Zhongzhou continent, relations among the races are inherently tense; when facing outsiders, almost every race holds the same view.

That is, 'those not of our kind must have different hearts.'

Although the three ancestors of the Qingtian Holy Land said they had joined the Tianlong Holy Land, thus counting as part of the demon race.

But after all, they are not demon race but human race; to the demon emperors, they are outsiders, completely unlike other demon emperors.

So whenever any problem arises, they are certainly the first to be suspected.

At this moment, an elder demon emperor of the Qilin Holy Land asked in an indifferent tone.

"I say, you wouldn't be feigning surrender, would you? Deliberately infiltrating my demon race's interior to leak information."

Upon hearing that, the three ancestors of the Qingtian Holy Land could no longer restrain themselves, and immediately shouted angrily.

"You're full of shit."

Would they become traitors? And even take the entire Qingtian Holy Land as a cost, just to infiltrate the demon race? On what basis?

Is it merely to pave the way for Dao Yi Shengdi? Or is it because they are truly selfless?

These three are eminent human emperors; would they need to come to the demon race as traitors?

Faced with the three's exposure, all the demon emperors present remained silent, merely watching with cold smiles.

Their eyes were full of contempt and suspicion.

And such a look also made the three ancestors of Qingtian Holy Land burn with even greater anger.

Every day among the Demon Race, they three had a hard time.

But what can be done? Allying with outsiders is just like this.

After all, bloodline is innate; without the blood of your own kin, trying to forcibly blend into another race is extremely difficult.

Not to mention the three ancestors of Qingtian Holy Land; even their descendants later would never be accepted by the Demon Race.

The reason is simple: because your bloodlines differ, you have human blood flowing in your veins.

"That's strange, then—if it's not you, how could Dao Yi Shengdi know our plans? Unless they can still foresee the future."

Completely ignoring the anger of the three ancestors of Qingtian Holy Land, another demon emperor of the Fire Phoenix Holy Land spoke slowly and calmly.

The meaning of his words was basically one: it must be that you three betrayed my Demon Race; otherwise, how could Dao Yi Shengdi suddenly act and catch them off guard?
