Chapter 2371: Cannot Cooperate, But Can Submit!

Luo Fu smiled as he stared at the Zhu Yan and Teng She before him, knowing they were severely wounded.

If Luo Fu were to attack the town now, the demonic mountain's beasts would be locked down by the Demon-Sealing Array on their bodies before they could even escape the barrier—every single beast would be annihilated.

"I do not come without purpose—I am here to warn you Ten Demonic Beasts: cooperation with me is out of the question. The Demon-Sealing Mountain is your final resting place!"

Upon hearing Luo Fu's words, the Ten Demonic Beasts' previously calm expressions instantly twisted.

"What did you say!?"

Teng She rose in fury, saying, "Luo Fu, don't think your slight strength lets you dictate fate here—there are those in the Primordial Chaos who can handle you… you…"

Zhu Yan's face was equally grim; he had never expected Luo Fu came not to ally or trade, but to kick them while they were down—to cut off their last escape.

This time, they hadn't anticipated Luo Fu would be so blunt, and they didn't know how to respond.

After a long silence, Zhu Yan lifted his head and looked at Luo Fu.

"Holy Luo Fu, why speak such words?"

Luo Fu spoke slowly: "Though the demon race is brutal, they still have an Emperor to lead them—so they would never run rampant. The Guiche incident was merely an accident."

"But you, the Demonic Beasts, have been imprisoned in the Demon-Sealing Mountain for nearly a thousand years. In a thousand years, you gained no freedom—only deeper chains from the Demon-Sealing Array. Do you think I believe you are innocent?"

Hearing Luo Fu's words, Zhu Yan instantly understood his meaning.

The moment the Ten Demonic Beasts gained freedom, their first act would be to slaughter the beings of the Primordial Chaos.

This had already been agreed upon among them—including Bi Fang and Tao Tie—all shared the same thought: they would no longer be slaves, no longer be suppressed.

Regardless of his inner feelings, Zhu Yan had agreed to this.

But now, with Luo Fu's words, any possibility of cooperation with him was severed.

After a thousand years, unless they obtained the Heaven-Earth-Xuan-Huang Linglong Treasure Tower, the Ten Demonic Beasts could never leave the Demon-Sealing Mountain!

"Holy Luo Fu, how can you be certain we Ten Demonic Beasts will surely run rampant?"

"Why not give us another chance to prove ourselves?" Zhu Yan gazed at Luo Fu with deep respect, speaking each word deliberately.

For freedom, for escape from the Demon-Sealing Mountain, Zhu Yan would do anything.

Teng She understood Zhu Yan's intent; he tugged at the sides of Tao Tie and Ying Long, urging them to bow respectfully before Luo Fu.

All of them knew: in the Primordial Chaos, only Luo Fu could grant them freedom.

Perhaps their relationship with Luo Fu need not be cooperation—but submission. If they submitted to Luo Fu and served him, perhaps they could gain freedom at once.

Teng She and Zhu Yan exchanged a glance, instantly understanding each other.

Teng She stepped forward and said, "Holy Luo Fu, forgive my earlier rudeness. We, the Ten Demonic Beasts, are willing to submit at your feet—only hope Holy Luo Fu will free us from the chains of the Demon-Sealing Mountain!"

Upon hearing Teng She's words, Tao Tie and Qiong Qi both nodded in agreement.

Luo Fu was not so easily deceived—he had long seen through the Ten Demonic Beasts' hearts, which was precisely why he had come in person after his avatar returned with the report.

It seemed the Ten Demonic Beasts still refused to surrender—once freed, they would plunge the Primordial Chaos into chaos.
