Chapter 494: This bird talks a lot!
The Demon King raised his eyes, his gaze fixed on the Cloud Falcon Demon Lord before him, shrouded in layers of power fluctuations.
He didn't say a word, but just that alone made the Cloud Falcon Demon Lord sweat profusely.
This is what it means to be a companion to the emperor.
The Cloud Falcon Demon Lord thought he was incredibly bold to even make that request.
Meanwhile, the Yinma Demon Lord, who possessed the body of the Demon King, sneered disdainfully from the other side of the distance.
withdraw troops?
They didn't hit hard enough!
Admittedly, according to that damned bird's explanation, the Demon Lord of the Underworld Horses also agrees to some extent.
If we let the demon race fight to the death with humans, they will definitely be left with nothing in the end. If we stop now, the demon race can gain the greatest benefit.
But what does the benefit to the demon race have to do with the demon realm?
According to his plan, these demons from the Xuan Tian Realm should be fiercely attacked, and their blood should be shed to the point of exhaustion for the Demon Realm!
How far has it gotten?
The flames of war haven't even spread throughout the entire Xuantian Realm yet.
Yinma Demon Lord knew that as long as he made this place chaotic enough, those bastards from the immortal realm hiding behind the scenes would definitely be unable to hold back and would show themselves to intervene.
In order to achieve this goal.
Even if the demon race were to sacrifice all their lives, it would be justified.
This ant dared to question things; it should have been killed outright "to uphold military law." But this wretched bird was useful.
Yinma Demon Lord has no talent for leading troops, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to spare the time to command these demon armies.
But this Cloud Falcon Demon Lord is a genius, and to be honest, he's done a good job. If he's useful, of course we should use him to the death. If we kill him, where will we find someone else to lead troops and fight for us?
"Keep attacking."
The Demon Lord Yun Falcon's face grew increasingly pale.
He dared not disobey the will of the Demon Emperor, but he had no choice but to withstand the pressure and continue to persuade him: "Your Majesty, the great prosperity of our demon race is imminent, it is our destiny, please do not act rashly!"
"My mind is made up!" the Demon Emperor said resolutely, but at the same time, he also said, "Don't rush, a turning point is just around the corner."
The Cloud Falcon Demon Lord was stunned upon hearing this.
A turning point? Is it just around the corner? Does His Majesty mean he already has other strategies in place to deal with humanity?
That's true.
The Demon King once mentioned that there were "insiders" among humans who cooperated with the demon race, but the Cloud Falcon Demon Lord didn't take it seriously at all.
At this time, any force that dares to propose cooperation with the demon race will basically be wiped out by the human race as soon as it shows its face.
How can a traitor possibly have a good ending?
Unless you're a traitor, you need to have the strength of a Saint-level cultivator at least, otherwise you'll die quickly once exposed.
They've already reached the Saintly Realm, yet they still act as traitors, collaborating with the demon race. What's their motive?
The contradictory reasoning led Yun Jun, the Demon Lord, to never consider these so-called "insiders" as crucial from the beginning.
But what could the "turning point" the Demon Emperor spoke of be? "Your Majesty, I do not quite understand!"
The Cloud Falcon Demon Lord wanted to get to the bottom of this.
This is a big deal.
You absolutely cannot gamble.
The Demon King didn't keep anyone in suspense. He merely frowned, seemingly impatient, and slowly uttered, "The Evil Cultivator Alliance."
Alliance of evil cultivators? !
The moment he heard that word, Demon Lord Yun Falcon froze, as if he had been struck by lightning.
How can this be……
He knew about this unusual force among humans. In fact, thousands of years ago, he was one of the great demons of the demon race who was invited by the "righteous alliance" of humans at great expense!
Humanity's hatred for this evil cultivation alliance is enough to make them willing to ask the demon race for help.
At the time, the Cloud Falcon Demon Lord found this utterly unbelievable.
But that's just how it is.
The Cloud Falcon Demon Lord participated in the hunt for the Evil Cultivator Alliance, watching as this massive alien force disintegrated and was destroyed by the "Righteous Alliance."
There were almost no survivors, and most of the survivors were small karami.
The Evil Cultivator Alliance should have been destroyed by now, with almost all of its core forces wiped out and its powerful members killed or wounded.
Even if it can be restored.
Even thousands of years is definitely not enough.
Not to mention that "heretical cultivators" are now also among the targets of universal condemnation, even more so than demons.
The Cloud Falcon Demon Lord actually held those evil cultivators in high regard.
Even demons don't engage in the barbaric practice of cannibalism and blood sacrifice among their own kind. Yet they do it without any pressure, even enjoying it immensely, becoming fanatical and insane in the process. It's truly disgusting.
"Your Majesty, if it truly is the heretical cultivation alliance cooperating with us, they are by no means trustworthy allies. This—"
"You don't need to worry about that."
The Demon King interrupted him directly: "Continue the attack, understand?"
"……Yes."
Cloud Falcon Demon Lord gritted his teeth and agreed.
Having said all that, for him to say anything more would be disrespectful to his lord.
Whatever!
Since the Demon King believes that the Evil Cultivator Alliance will be a turning point, then so be it.
He knew that now there was no other way but to trust the Demon Emperor.
"My minister retire."
After speaking in a low voice, the Cloud Falcon Demon Lord bowed respectfully before leaving.
Watching his retreating figure, the Demon King narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous and sinister light flashing within them.
"This little bird... it talks a lot."
The Demon Lord Yinma was extremely annoyed.
Such "loyal ministers" can sometimes really cause trouble, and they are also very stubborn. But now I have to persuade him, otherwise who will command the million-strong army of the demon race?
The cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks.
Now is not the time to cook the running dogs.
But it will be over soon.
The "Evil Cultivator Alliance" is about to appear, and together with the demon race, the Xuan Tian Realm will soon be engulfed in flames. As for how far it will burn, those scum from the immortal realm will show up, which is not something that Yin Ma Demon Lord needs to worry about.
If they don't show themselves, this world could fall directly into the control of the demon realm!
They've shown up, just beat them up!
Although the Demon General and Demon Lord have to consider the Heavenly Tribulation when they cross over to this realm, the Demon Realm has experienced and mature ways to deal with it, and the Immortal Realm also has them. However, setting up such methods to circumvent the Heavenly Tribulation is extremely costly.
But the demon realm can afford this price.
As for these demons... they're still a bit weak.
Judging from their current situation, they can't gain an overwhelming advantage, and achieving his goal will probably not be too easy.
That's it.
The Demon Lord Yinma has ten thousand ways to strengthen these demon races.
Just by using the simplest method, we can give these beings of the Xuan Tian Realm a little "demon realm shock"!
...Time passed.
About a month later, Gu Heng didn't keep a precise count, but that was roughly the case.
The increasingly cold weather signals the arrival of winter.
The transition between summer and winter in this world is a bit strange, but he has been here for twenty-one years and is already used to it.
During this time, life in the deserted city proceeded in an orderly manner.
Yin Xueling came to learn painting every few days, and sometimes even the old man Yin Rufeng would come to "listen in." However, Gu Heng thought that the old man's painting skills were indeed below standard, so he allowed him to come and learn.
But this young man couldn't quite adapt to teaching this old man. It can only be said that Yin Rufeng at least had some sense of shame, or that he learned quite quickly. After coming a few times, he felt like he had been "enlightened," went back and understood, and never came again.
Gu Heng had no idea what he could learn from studying painting.
Anyway, he couldn't figure it out at all.
In his spare time, Gu Heng did not give up "cultivation" and went to several other places to hunt monsters, but now he is basically certain.
The monsters he could hunt were basically non-existent threats. At first, he couldn't even tell whether they were monsters or ordinary wild animals. It wasn't until he finally figured it out that he realized...
Killing these weaker monsters won't increase your experience bar at all!
Then he started selling.
Since it doesn't increase experience points, why bother killing? Is it a waste of energy? It's better to just lie in the yard and set up a stall.
Opening a shop is fun for a while, and opening a shop all the time is even more fun.
And so time passed. Moreover, recently, Su Jinxi often spends half a day away from him instead of going to the Nine Lives Demon Cat tribe. He had Su Jinxi take him there last time, and found that life in that tribe's territory was just as he had imagined.
A group of cats spoke human language, and then each went about their own business...
how to say.
Gu Heng felt like he had entered paradise, even though he wasn't particularly fond of cats. There was no need to scoop litter, no odor, and all the cats were incredibly cute.
It's simply the place that pet owners love most.
But he only went once.
Incidentally, I also learned that Su Jinxi was already the chieftain of the tribe!
According to Gu Heng's secret understanding, she has already reached the tenth level of the Mahayana stage!
The ten levels of Mahayana Buddhism.
Gu Hengzhen didn't really understand this concept, but he knew that below the Supreme Saint was the Great Ascension, and the tenth level of the Great Ascension... was a level that he could never reach without the help of the system items!
He actually picked up a cat that could become the leader of the demon clan and raised it... and he even managed to raise her to the point that she had no hostility towards him.
Hard to imagine.
Judging who is completely harmless and could never hurt you also relies on the skill of "omniscient perspective".
Only when "nothing" is completely displayed can it be proven that an object has absolutely no hostility towards him, and there is not even a possibility of harming him.
Su Jinxi and Qin Yiyao are both much stronger than him.
However, neither of them would ever harm themselves, not even with the thought, so their threat level is directly judged as "none," which is the lowest level below "equivalent to nothing."
In reality, if the two of them were to get physical, I'm afraid my small frame wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Gu Heng wondered if he was just lucky, or if some unseen force was at play... He didn't know.
But now all we need to do is give up.
The cat has ten levels of Mahayana cultivation.
What is he afraid of?
If anything seems wrong, just let the cat scratch it. One scratch and it'll be crawling away.
Gu Heng was sprawled in the courtyard, with Xiao Bai still cutting fruit for him. Just as he was lamenting how boring life was...
"Master!"
A familiar voice came from outside the courtyard.
He looked up and saw Qin Yiyao walk into the courtyard, looking a bit travel-worn and... changed.
She was still wearing the same dress she wore the day she left.
But Gu Heng's intuition told him that the little girl's temperament had definitely changed!
