Chapter 463: The Bad Luck of Chapter 454
With Gou Wang's promotion, the plan that Duan Fengyun had previously found difficult to implement was now much easier to carry out.
Originally, according to Duan Fengyun's plan, Jiaomowang would continue to manage his own territory, while the territory here would be under the responsibility of the Kunpeng Demon Saint.
However, Duan Fengyun had been very troubled by the territories of Hu Wang, Gou Wang, and the others.
The territories of both Jiaomowang and the Kunpeng Demon Saint were not small; if they were made to manage their own territories and then also tasked with managing the territories of Gou Wang and the others, it would inevitably cause the Kunpeng Demon Saint and the others to be run ragged.
Moreover, Duan Fengyun did not want to entrust all his manpower to a single person.
Although Duan Fengyun had absolute confidence in his Beast Taming Method, he dared not guarantee that the Beast Taming Method was flawless.
If Jiaomowang or the Kunpeng Demon Saint were to break his Beast Taming Method and use that opportunity to seize his territory, it would certainly be something Duan Fengyun could not accept.
But now that Gou Wang had reached the Shenren Realm, this problem that had given Duan Fengyun such a headache was instantly solved.
Previously, Gou Wang, Hu Wang, Xiang Wang, and Qing She Wang did not submit to one another; if they were made to listen to any one of them, it would have been absolutely impossible.
Even if Duan Fengyun stepped in to suppress them, as time passed, this group would still not submit.
Therefore, only someone with strength capable of overpowering them could lead them, so that they would not harbor thoughts of rebellion.
Now that Gou Wang had reached the Shenren Realm, he could fully satisfy this condition.
Thus, Duan Fengyun spoke up:
"Everyone, I am announcing here that from now on, Gou Wang is the new Demon Saint of our Guyue Mansion.
Any Demon King who breaks through to the Shenren Realm can be promoted to Demon Saint, so I hope everyone will work hard.
Additionally, I have decided to divide Guyue Mansion into fiefs for governance; that is to say, from now on, Gou Wang will be responsible for the territories of the former Dog Clan, Elephant Clan, Tiger Clan, and Snake Clan.
The Kunpeng Demon Saint will be responsible for the current territory of Guyue Mansion, which is the original territory of the Kunpeng Clan.
And Jiaomowang will be responsible for his own original territory.
You will each be responsible for your own territory and lead your subordinates to develop.
When I have orders, you must all arrive immediately to complete the tasks; when there are no tasks, you may act on your own, and I will not interfere with you.
How about it, do you have any objections?"
How could the various Demon Kings have any objections? Gou Wang usually had good personal relations with them.
Now that they had Gou Wang as their leader, they could easily speak directly to Gou Wang if they had any issues.
Furthermore, since Duan Fengyun had now devolved power to them, it meant they could go back to being their own mountain lords, so why wouldn't they be happy to do so?
After giving instructions to the several individuals, Duan Fengyun had Gou Wang follow the newly assigned division and lead his men back to his original territory.

Meanwhile, Duan Fengyun, in accordance with their previous agreement, headed toward Jiaomowang's territory with Jiaomowang.
At this moment, in Jiaomowang's territory, the various monsters were suspicious to see Jiaomowang bringing a man wearing a Golden Mask.
They all knew their Great King's habits; their Great King had always been a loner, so why did he bring someone back today?
Moreover, they had never seen this person before.
A Demon King among Jiaomowang's subordinates who was on familiar terms with him grabbed Jiaomowang's hand and asked:
"Great King, who is this?
Why have we never seen him before?"
Jiaomowang looked at his subordinate Demon King, then looked at Duan Fengyun, who was smiling mysteriously on the side, and slapped his subordinate's hand away, saying:
"If you have something to say, say it loudly.
Do you know who this is?
This is the famous Lord Guyue of Guyue Mansion; from today on, he is also our Lord.
From today on, we have joined Guyue Mansion, and from now on, Lord Guyue is your Lord."
Jiaomowang's subordinates were extremely shocked; how could Jiaomowang go out for a day and return to tell them that he had already joined Guyue Mansion?
However, a tree's shadow is its reputation; the current Guyue Mansion had a booming reputation among the Monster Race, and this group of monsters had no aversion to joining Guyue Mansion.
Seeing the reaction of these monsters, Duan Fengyun nodded with satisfaction.
Duan Fengyun had already thought about it beforehand: if anyone among these monsters dared to stand up and oppose him, he would not mind killing one or two to establish his authority.
Duan Fengyun sat on Jiaomowang's throne and spoke:
"Brothers of the Jiao Clan, I am Guyue of Guyue Mansion.
I am very happy that Jiaomowang could lead you to join my Guyue Mansion.
My original intention in establishing Guyue Mansion was to build it into the greatest force of the Monster Race.
With everyone joining, I believe the strength of Guyue Mansion will become increasingly powerful.
However, I have one thing to tell you all first: I, Guyue, am a person who dislikes nothing more than treachery.
If I discover that you have done anything detrimental to Guyue Mansion, then do not blame me for being heartless.
Regarding your territory, I will not change it; it will still be managed by Jiaomowang here.
If you have any problems, just go directly to Jiaomowang.
If there is anything Jiaomowang cannot solve, you can come directly to me."
Upon hearing Duan Fengyun's words, the minor monsters of the Jiao Clan were whispering among themselves.
They had not expected this legendary Lord Guyue to be so easy to talk to, actually not having their Jiaomowang transferred away and replaced with a new Demon King.
This Guyue was actually not afraid of Jiaomowang rebelling; he truly had immense courage.
It was a pity that Jiaomowang could not hear their inner thoughts, otherwise Jiaomowang would definitely have shouted at them:
"I would like to rebel, but do I dare?
He has placed a restriction inside my body; if I dared to rebel against him, I would definitely not live to see tomorrow's sun."
Jiaomowang was full of bitterness inside, but he could find no one to tell, so he had to hide it silently in his heart.
Duan Fengyun did not care whether Jiaomowang felt bitter or not; he spoke up and said:
"Jiaomowang, let's go, take me to see your treasures."
"Let me see what kind of good treasures you, the number one Alchemist of the Monster Race, have."
Upon hearing this, Jiaomowang immediately led Duan Fengyun to his alchemy room.
Inside Jiaomowang's alchemy room, Duan Fengyun saw that the most numerous and varied brand of items were aphrodisiacs.
Duan Fengyun looked at Jiaomowang with a mischievous grin; he had not expected Jiaomowang to actually be into this sort of thing.
Jiaomowang touched his head in embarrassment; snakes are naturally lustful, and even though he had now evolved into a jiao, that nature still remained firmly in his blood.
Jiaomowang would usually study aphrodisiacs when he had nothing to do, and unknowingly, his alchemy room had become piled high with these aphrodisiacs.
Jiaomowang did not use them much himself; he usually gave these pills to the minor monsters under his command for them to use.
Seeing so many minor monsters still alive and well, Jiaomowang knew his medicine was certainly not stable. After some searching, Duan Fengyun finally found the purpose of his trip: the advancement pills that Jiaomowang had previously offered him.
Since this pill could help Gou Wang advance to the Shenren Realm, he figured it could also help Hu Wang and the others advance their realms.
Regarding the strength of his subordinates, Duan Fengyun naturally hoped for them to be as strong as possible.
After learning of Duan Fengyun's intention, Jiaomowang blocked him and said:
"Lord Guyue, to tell you the truth."
"It is not that I am reluctant to give you this pill, but because this pill has no effect after being used once."
"I discovered that everyone has a drug tolerance in their body; if they use this advancement pill once, then no matter how many more of these advancement pills they take afterward, it will be of no use."
"Therefore, Lord Guyue, your desire to use this advancement pill to raise the strength of your monster kings is simply impossible."
Duan Fengyun sighed deeply after hearing this; he had not expected such a good medicine to only be usable once.
If it could be taken multiple times, he would soon have four more Monster Sages among his subordinates, and even if he were to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace later, he, Duan Fengyun, would have a strong hand to play.
However, Duan Fengyun still collected this batch of pills from Jiaomowang.
This batch of pills was of great consequence, and Duan Fengyun would not leave it here with Jiaomowang.
If some person with ulterior motives came to steal these pills and ended up creating a powerful enemy for Duan Fengyun, Duan Fengyun would have a headache.
Watching Duan Fengyun take away the pills he had painstakingly refined, Jiaomowang did not find it strange at all.
Jiaomowang also understood that an innocent man may be guilty of a crime by possessing a treasure.
If people knew that he, Jiaomowang, had such a batch of miraculous pills here, he did not know how much of a scramble there would be at his place.
Now that Duan Fengyun had taken these pills away, it actually gave Jiaomowang a chance to get off the hook.
If anyone asked about the whereabouts of these pills, Jiaomowang could directly and generously tell them where they were.
If they wanted the pills, they could just go find Guyue directly.
One might ask, in this world, who would dare to go to the Guyue Mansion and ask the master, Guyue, about pills.
Therefore, the pills were safest with Duan Fengyun; no one would dare to covet them.
Duan Fengyun also saw Jiaomowang's worry, and he spoke up:
"Jiaomowang, you don't need to worry."
"If anyone asks you about the whereabouts of this batch of pills, you can tell them directly that they are with me."
"I would like to see who has the guts to come to me, Guyue, to snatch medicine."
"If their strength is low, I don't mind adding another soul to my hands."
"If their strength is high, I don't mind adding another subordinate to my ranks."
"Anyway, no matter who asks, just say that this batch of pills is with me."
"I, Guyue, am not afraid of being targeted; I want to see how much strength this person who dares to target me has."
Jiaomowang nodded; he also really wanted to see which blind fool would dare to come to Duan Fengyun's place to look for pills.
At that time, the best case would be they are finished, and the worst case would be they become Duan Fengyun's lackey and lose their freedom forever.
Jiaomowang had already lost his freedom, and he would not mind if he added two more companions.
Jiaomowang knew Duan Fengyun's methods; if you covet Duan Fengyun's things, you will definitely not have a good end once you fall into Duan Fengyun's hands.
Jiaomowang now just wanted to see exactly which blind fool would dare to touch Duan Fengyun's bad side.
Jiaomowang wanted to see how miserably this person who dared to touch his bad side would die.
