485: Chapter 172 Demon King Meeting_2 485: Chapter 172 Demon King Meeting_2 Niu Benben frowned slightly.

He was well aware of Fuyu Mountain, which housed a significant figure of the Hundred Clans known as the Grey Sky Demon King.

The Grey Sky Demon King’s original form was that of a primordial, uncommon Jiao dragon—possessing tremendous strength and skilled in wielding weapons.

It was said he once severely wounded the Human Race’s Taiyi.

This Grey Sky Demon King had an incredibly deep background, with several Daluo Golden Immortals of the Hundred Clans having supported him in the past.

If it was Grey Sky Demon King summoning the kings of the Hundred Clans, it was very likely to discuss the use of military force against the Human Race.

“Alright, I got it.”

Niu Benben said in his heavy, husky voice,

“The orders of Grey Sky Demon King are not to be ignored.

May I dare to ask your excellency, when should I set out?”

“Setting out immediately would be best!”

The Leopard Spirit said with a laugh,

“When we left, we had already calculated the pace of each king.

If you set out now, you are guaranteed to arrive along with the others!”

“I can let you in on a little secret.

Although the summons are in the name of my lord, the kings, in reality, several seniors had arrived at my lord’s residence beforehand.”

“If the Great King is late, there might not be a good seat for you!”

Niu Benben’s spirits lifted, and he cupped his hands in thanks.

Then, with great bravado, he bellowed,

“Come forth!”

At the edge of the volcano mouth, all the formidable demons knelt on one knee and shouted in unison,

“Great King!”

“The quick-witted among you, accompany me to Fuyu Mountain!

At such a grand gathering of the Hundred Clans, how can I, the Great King, be absent!”

His strongest subordinates stood up and saluted.

With a grand wave of his hand and a gust of black wind, Niu Benben and several of his subordinates disappeared without a trace.

The messenger Leopard Spirit glanced at a few elegant and graceful demoness, not daring to misbehave.

He turned and shouted, leading the troop behind him back to Fuyu Mountain to await orders.

…

In the secret military encampment at Heaven’s Ruins, within Li Ping’an’s tent.

Li Ping’an took a seat in a rocking chair, sipping tea served by Wen Ling’er, while listening to Feng Tingzhu continue to talk about the affairs of the Myriad Demons Heaven, his eyebrows knitting and relaxing by turns.

Previously, he had only heard that the Myriad Demons Heaven was ruthless, being the first in the East Continent to annihilate an entire sect.

But after Feng Tingzhu’s explanation, Li Ping’an became convinced that the Myriad Demons Heaven was not an ordinary group of Demon Cultivators.

Every action by the Myriad Demons Heaven was not just for the sake of murder and arson; it had a clear ‘political purpose.’

The sect destruction that had spread the name of the Myriad Demons Heaven took place thirty-seven thousand years ago.

The sect annihilated by the Myriad Demons Heaven sheltered six Golden Immortals, all of whom were ancient war heroes.

At the time, these six Golden Immortals had petitioned the Eastern Alliance thirteen times in a hundred years to call for military action against the Hundred Clans.

“Poor Dao has the Longevity Dao Fruit, but all my relations and teachers have died in battle.

Poor Dao’s survival in this world troubles my Dao heart.

I am willing to fall into the demonic path and strike at the Hundred Clans again,”

“Our Human Race is thriving—why not act early and eradicate the threat of the Hundred Clans once and for all?”

“The Hundred Clans are raising troops within the numerous smaller worlds around us, which may exploit our lack of preparation and thrust us into the hardship of a power struggle once more.”

And so on.

The Eastern Alliance reported this matter to Xuanyuan Palace, and the Xuanyuan Palace gave a directive stating:

“The vital energy of the Human Race has not yet recovered; it is inappropriate to rashly deploy large forces.”

As the Eastern Alliance envoy was on his way delivering the Xuanyuan Palace’s directive, Myriad Demons Heaven’s demons attacked that sect.

Not a single one of the six thousand three hundred Qi Cultivators survived.

The corpses of the six Golden Immortals were hung in front of the main hall of their sect, and the bloodstained cloth on their bodies bore the words:

“Those who rashly start wars shall be eradicated for the sake of all living beings.”

The Eastern Alliance messenger, entering through the breach of the Mountain Protection Array, saw the corpses strewn across the mountain for himself, along with the Demon Cultivators of the Myriad Demons Heaven who had not yet managed to escape.

This sect annihilation shook the entirety of the East Continent and also jolted the Xuanyuan Palace.

The Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan, rarely showing anger, slammed several Jade Talismans before the gathered ministers.

Minister Feng personally presided over the Eastern Alliance to investigate everything related to the Myriad Demons Sect.

Feng Tingzhu said,

“At the time, the Eastern Alliance pursued the Myriad Demons Heaven across the whole world and also killed many of their leading demons.”

“Minister Feng used divination to lock onto the last group of Myriad Demons Heaven’s experts, but when the Eastern Alliance troops chased after them, they were blocked by the experts of the Western Sect.”

“Only then did we realize that the Myriad Demons Heaven, which had gathered many vile and evil beings, was established by the Western Sect.

Indeed, there were disciples of the Sect Hierarch of the Western Sect sitting in Myriad Demons Heaven.”

Li Ping’an sighed, “The Myriad Demons Heaven massacred an entire sect and still spoke of acting ‘for the sake of all living beings’; it’s utterly laughable…”

Feng Tingzhu saluted and said,

“The Myriad Demons Heaven’s actions were likely meant to intimidate us.”

“After that annihilation, the Myriad Demons Heaven actually suffered heavy losses, with only those demons protected by the West remaining untouched by Minister Feng.”

“Subsequently, various rumors emerged in the East Continent.

Some said that the Myriad Demons Heaven was enacting justice on behalf of heaven, considering the bigger picture.

Others claimed that the roots of the Myriad Demons Heaven lay within the Eastern Alliance, within the Xuanyuan Palace—that the high-level officials of the Eastern Alliance did not wish to wage war against the Hundred Clans, and so forth.”

“These rumors added a layer of mystery to the Myriad Demons Heaven.”

“Since then, the number of Demon Cultivators in the East Continent has grown, becoming more and more active.”

“Such effective rumors and gossip.”

Li Ping’an clicked his tongue,

“This Myriad Demons Heaven truly commits heinous crimes.”

“Their maneuver was ingenious, planting the seeds for Demon Cultivators to run rampant in the East Continent for tens of thousands of years, expertly exploiting the weaknesses of the human heart.”

“Master,” Feng Tingzhu asked softly, “are you treating Wang Shan to delve into the matters of the Myriad Demons Heaven from his angle?”

“No.”

Li Ping’an said earnestly,

“It’s simply because Brother Ye gave too much!”

“This Everlasting Spring Water is invaluable to me.”

“Let alone saving a loyal and righteous man, even if Brother Ye asked me to perform a spiritual shed for his household servant, I would have to step in.”
