Chapter 2158

Di Jun felt the demon race must speak and act with caution, not be overly arrogant.

Luo Fu is still here, and moreover, Luo Fu has always been watching the demon race closely; if the demon race so much as stumbles, Luo Fu will show no mercy whatsoever.

"I have summoned you all today to make it clear: the demon race will not tolerate any arrogance or unchecked brutality."

"Whoever commits crimes within the demon race must be punished. The incident on Spirit Snake Island was carried out by Gui Che; Gui Che shall now receive three hundred Bone-Slicing Whips. Let all present witness this punishment."

As soon as Dong Huang Taiyi spoke, all the demons erupted in shock.

They had already heard whispers about the Spirit Snake Island incident, but only vaguely—never imagining it was Gui Che who had done it.

Moreover, more than half of Spirit Snake Island had been burned to ashes.

And nearly four-fifths of the life forms on Spirit Snake Island had perished; whether the survivors could even endure on the island anymore remained uncertain.

It was precisely because of this that they were so astonished.

"This is a difficult thing to do!"

"I never expected Lord Gui Che would have slaughtered Spirit Snake Island!"

"Lord Gui Che has always had a violent temper; if someone provoked him on Spirit Snake Island and he happened to set fire, that's not surprising at all."

"Speak softer—if Lord Gui Che hears you and remembers you, you'll be the next to die."

"What's there to fear? Didn't you hear the Demon Emperor say? From now on, no demon may be brutal! What does it matter if he has a temper—doesn't the Demon Emperor have our backs?"

…

A group of demons whispered among themselves below.

Gui Che's face was grim, but he could do nothing else—he could only endure the three hundred Bone-Slicing Whips for now.

Three hundred Bone-Slicing Whips across the body were no joke; if he couldn't survive them, he would die.

Dong Huang Taiyi and Di Jun imposed this punishment because they were furious—Gui Che's act was grievously wrong, absurdly so.

"Carry out the sentence!"

At Di Jun's command, the demon sages began to act.

Yes, it was the demon sages who acted—Ji Meng and Fei Lian were among them; the Ten Demon Sages striking Gui Che was meant to make each of them understand clearly.

Since the demon race had resolved to reform, it would not falter halfway.

Since returning from Penglai Immortal Island, Dong Huang Taiyi and Di Jun had felt they could no longer sit idly by—they must make the demon race speak and act with restraint.

On Penglai Immortal Island, there are surely those beyond those, heavens beyond heavens!

If the demon race continues to regard itself as supreme, one day it will perish before the Wu Clan—and perish horribly.

They had long understood the demon race's past deeds; thus, Dong Huang Taiyi and Di Jun ordered sweeping reforms, and they must strike hard, making every demon remember this day.

Gui Che is their first move to intimidate the rest; after this, the Demon Emperor will enact even more reforms upon the demon race.
