Chapter 337: Sun Zhe's Plan
"Still nineteen people?"
The calm voice echoed in the hall of Extreme City, reverberating like a howling winter wind. The one hundred twenty-four Demon Lords standing respectfully below felt a sudden chill in their hearts, an involuntary sense of bone-chilling cold creeping into their depths.
Looking up at the Black-Haired Young Man sitting calmly above in the hall, even though everyone present was a Holy Rank Demon Lord, they couldn't help but lower their heads in fear. Under Sun Zhe's request, out of the one hundred forty-three Demon Lords originally under the Extreme Demon Emperor, nineteen had indeed not come. This undoubtedly offended the authority of this newly appointed Demon Emperor of Extreme City.
"Brother Sun Zhe, the nineteen absent Demon Lords come from three major cities. According to my investigation, it seems to be instigated by someone called the Azure Python Demon Lord."
Standing beside Sun Zhe, Jingjing spoke with a cold glint in her eyes. As Sun Zhe's "younger brother," his status had risen alongside Sun Zhe's ascension to the position of Demon Emperor. He was now considered the First Person among the Demon Lords in the Extreme Demon Domain, and even those who previously looked down on him, including Saint Level Pinnacle Demon Lords, treated him with respect.
"Who is the Azure Python Demon Lord?"
Upon hearing Jingjing's words, Sun Zhe frowned slightly and spoke coldly.
"Reporting to you, Demon Emperor, the Azure Python Demon Lord is a staunch loyalist of the Extreme Demon Emperor. Back when the Extreme Demon Lord had not yet achieved the title of Demon Emperor, the Azure Python Demon Lord was already following him. Moreover, the Azure Python Demon Lord is quite powerful; although he has not yet stepped into the Divine Realm, he is likely on the brink of it. It is difficult for ordinary Demon Lords to compare with him."
Linghuo Yaozun stepped forward gracefully and softly explained to Sun Zhe. Seeing this scene, other Demon Lords showed expressions of surprise. Could it be that Linghuo Yaozun truly submitted to this newly appointed Demon Emperor of Extreme City?
However, Sun Zhe paid no mind to their thoughts. Upon hearing Linghuo Yaozun's words, his gaze suddenly turned icy as he said,
"He's just a Demon Lord. Even if he has truly entered the Divine Realm, so what? Since he dares to defy my orders, he should be prepared for my army's assault on Extreme City!"
"Brother Sun Zhe, the Azure Python Demon Lord is not to be underestimated; it's just..."
At this moment, Jingjing suddenly spoke to Sun Zhe, her brow slightly furrowing as if she had something difficult to say.
"Just what..." With that, Sun Zhe's tone became much more natural when speaking to Jingjing.
"Not long ago, the Azure Python Demon Lord brought these people to join the Black Tiger Demon Emperor's side. Although the Azure Python Demon Lord's strength is not to be feared, the Black Tiger Demon Emperor is not to be underestimated. Moreover, the forces represented by these nineteen Demon Lords, led by the Azure Python Demon Lord, cannot be disregarded. It seems that the Black Tiger Demon Emperor will not easily let them go."
Jingjing's brows slightly furrowed. Now, the entire Extreme Demon Domain is under their control, and they naturally have a grasp on all information within the demon realm. Sun Zhe didn't have time to deal with these matters, so he entrusted everything to her. As a result, she learned of the news much faster than these Demon Lords.
"The Black Tiger Demon Emperor..."
Upon hearing the name of the Black Tiger Demon Emperor, many of the Demon Lords in the hall changed their expressions dramatically. Most of them displayed obvious fear on their faces. The Black Tiger Demon Emperor is not comparable to the Extreme Demon Emperor; he is a true veteran who has been in the Divine Realm for over a thousand years. His strength surpasses that of the Extreme Demon Emperor by more than just a little bit. Even the former Extreme Demon Emperor had to yield to him at times, and the territory of the Black Tiger Demon Domain is at least twice as large as that of the Extreme Demon Domain.
"What is the strength of the Black Tiger Demon Emperor?"
Although Sun Zhe's avatar, formed from the fusion of the Law of Slaughter, exuded a strong aura of violence, it did not mean he had become a brute. If the opponent's strength far exceeded his capacity for resistance, he would naturally need to reconsider his plans.
"The Black Tiger Demon Emperor reached the Initial Stage of Divine Realm long ago. There are even rumors that his cultivation has advanced into the mid-Divine Realm. However, this old fellow hides himself very well. Although his true form is not an Exotic Beast, no one can see through his profound cultivation. Even if he hasn't reached the mid-Divine Realm, he has definitely attained the peak of the Initial Stage of Divine Realm. Ordinary Initial Stage of Divine Realm experts are certainly no match for him."
Jingjing frowned slightly; she hadn't expected such deep caution regarding the Black Tiger Demon Emperor. If it weren't necessary, she wouldn't want Sun Zhe to confront this tough opponent. After all, Sun Zhe had only recently recovered; although he had advanced to Divine Realm now, he was still somewhat lacking compared to those who had been in Divine Realm for thousands of years.
"The Black Tiger Demon Emperor..." Hearing Jingjing's account made Sun Zhe's gaze flicker slightly.
"Barbarian Bull Demon Lord!"
After a moment, Sun Zhe suddenly stood up, slapping his hand on the table in front of him as he called out a title belonging to one of the lower-ranking Demon Lords.
"Your subordinate is here!" A rough voice echoed in the hall as a hulking man clad in black armor stepped forward, surrounded by an extremely fierce aura. His cultivation had evidently reached the limit of Holy Rank and was clearly a powerful figure on the verge of stepping into Divine Realm.
"By my command, you are to lead an army of three hundred thousand and accompany twenty Demon Lords alongside you. Three days from now, you will march on the three great cities under the jurisdiction of Azure Python Demon Lord. Do you have the confidence to capture these three cities for me?" Sun Zhe said coldly, his expression unchanged.
Upon hearing this, the many powerful figures below slightly changed their expressions. Although Azure Python Demon Lord was strong, facing the entirety of the Extreme Demon Domain was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. However, it was the Black Tiger Demon Emperor behind him that was truly terrifying. Was their own Demon Emperor preparing to turn against the Black Tiger Demon Emperor?
"I will definitely bring back the head of that Azure Python to present to Demon Emperor!"
The Barbarian Bull Demon Lord did not care about whether it was the Black Tiger Demon Emperor or not. He was a straightforward person; whoever fed him was his boss. He had no fear of angering the Black Tiger Demon Emperor, as he believed his own Demon Emperor would protect him. As for Azure Python Demon Lord, to be honest, he did not take him seriously at all.
"Good! The rest of you, listen up!" Seeing the response from the Barbarian Bull Demon Lord, a fierce light suddenly surged in Sun Zhe's eyes as he spoke loudly.
"Three days from now, we will march against the Black Tiger Demon Domain. Those who achieve merit will be rewarded with the cities of the Black Tiger Demon Domain, and I will not be stingy with the countless divine Artifact Spirits and medicines within Black Tiger City. All who contribute will receive rewards, and even in the future, when you break through to the Divine Realm, I may even protect you."
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Sun Zhe's promises, the hundreds of Demon Lords in the hall suddenly breathed heavily, their eyes flashing with intense excitement. The many Demon Lords, who had previously been worried, instantly became filled with killing intent. As long as Sun Zhe granted them a major city as a reward, everything they obtained from that city would be theirs to keep after paying a small share. This was akin to having a hen that laid golden eggs; how could they not be thrilled?
Moreover, as the base of the Black Tiger Demon Emperor, how much wealth had accumulated in Black Tiger City over the years? Although no one knew the exact amount, it was undoubtedly vast. There might even be spiritual medicines and Ancient Divine Weapons that could aid in breaking through to the Divine Realm. Even a small gift from there would be invaluable to them. Coupled with Sun Zhe's promise of protection from a high-ranking Divine Realm Demon Emperor, this was enough to make countless Demon Lords envious.
At this moment, their fear of the Black Tiger Demon Emperor vanished completely. Each one displayed an unhidden cold killing intent in their eyes, and their bodies radiated intense battle spirit. Even the usually calm Linghuo Yaozun was no exception. To challenge the Black Tiger Demon Emperor was certainly not something ordinary individuals dared to do. Looking at the mysterious Black-Haired Young Man above in the hall, a strange light flickered in her alluring eyes.
………………
"Sun Zhe, brother, what are you...?"
Looking at the cold aura surrounding Sun Zhe, Jingjing hesitated before speaking, her expression revealing a hint of doubt. Although she knew this was merely an avatar formed by merging with a killing Law, she still found it hard to understand his actions.
He was not afraid of causing slaughter; the Demon Realm was not his homeland, and it did not matter how many died. Moreover, the beings of the Demon Realm were constantly engaged in battles and killings, and dying in battle could only be considered a normal death.
It was just that according to his thoughts, they should be focusing on their cultivation and then returning to the Nine Continents. Why were they getting involved in these power struggles now? Even when he initially established Vermilion Bird City, it was merely for fun; otherwise, how could Vermilion Bird City have such limited strength?
"Sigh..."
Looking at the puzzled Jingjing, Sun Zhe sighed helplessly. A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes as he slowly spoke, "When we left the Border Battlefield back then, didn't you hear my brother's last words?"
"You mean five hundred years..." Jingjing was slightly taken aback. When they left the Nine Continents, he had also heard that last sentence: five hundred years later, the Demon Clan and the Asura Clan would march onto the Nine Continents Mainland again.
"Are you preparing to..." Jingjing said in surprise as if realizing something.
"That's right. Our strength is still too weak to have any impact on the overall situation. But if we can lead millions or even tens of millions of high-level powerhouses to the Nine Continents five hundred years from now, we can definitely change the course of the war. Furthermore..." Sun Zhe paused, touching the Black Sword on his forehead that represented the Law of Killing, and whispered softly,
"What could be faster for cultivating the Law of Killing than continuous slaughter?"
Since Sun Zhe condensed this Killing Clone, he had already prepared himself for endless slaughter. The path of cultivating Thunder Law was too ethereal; at least he had never heard of the other three top-tier thunders mentioned by the Thunder God Emperor. In comparison, cultivating the Law of Killing was undoubtedly much simpler.
The Law of Killing—just killing...
