Supreme Alchemist
Chapter 2212 - 2212 2202 Meeting

2212: Chapter 2202: Meeting 2212: Chapter 2202: Meeting As Long Yan uttered these words, the air around him became silent, and the Corpse King almost lost control of the murderous aura within him, nearly twisting Long Yan’s neck on the spot.

He wasn’t wrong; the Corpse King originally existed in the Real World, but they accidentally discovered the Entrance to the inner world and simply relocated there.

After realizing the weakness of the people here, they intended to launch a major attack, only to be repulsed by the current Demon King.

“You, very good.”

The Corpse King calmed his agitated heart a bit, his intent to kill Long Yan even stronger; indeed, Long Yan was not a native of this inner world.

If there was an opportunity, he would definitely kill Long Yan with the cruelest means and turn him into a zombie.

“Let’s go!”

The Corpse King snorted coldly and turned to leave, all the zombies following him.

It was the first time since he came to this world that he had felt so insulted, and he was also plotting how to retaliate against Long Yan.

“Shall we go, Master Jingzhe?”

Long Yan didn’t pay any attention to the Corpse King, as the threat posed by the Corpse King did not spark any interest in him.

The reason why Long Yan knew that the Corpse King came from the Real World was because the martial arts used by Blood Shadow were from the Devil Cult of the Real World, presumably taken from the Gate and Sects that had previously besieged the zombies.

Jingzhe ordered his troops to stay put, and silently followed behind Long Yan, looking somewhat like a downcast follower of Long Yan.

As Long Yan entered Chu Official City, he was surrounded by the city’s defense forces, and cheers and screams could be heard everywhere.

“Alright, everyone quiet down.”

Bai Mu walked over and stood in front of Long Yan.

Something unexpected happened as Bai Mu knelt on one knee in front of Long Yan, cupping his fists as a subject would to an emperor.

“Bai Mu on behalf of the people within Chu Official City thanks Brother Long for saving their lives.”

Long Yan hurriedly helped Bai Mu up; he was not accustomed to being worshipped, which made him uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.

However, without Long Yan today, Chu Official City would indeed have been in dire straits.

Though it was nothing much for Long Yan’s ability, had it just been the people of Chu Official City, the city might have already been breached.

Behind him, Jingzhe looked at Long Yan with a complex expression; without this man, perhaps his goal would have already been half achieved.

Meanwhile, Bai Mu noticed Jingzhe and hurriedly ordered the defense forces to prepare for battle.

“Don’t worry, I invited Master Jingzhe here.”

Long Yan waved his hand to indicate it was okay, and Jingzhe sheathed his long knife, showing he was not here to fight.

“This… Brother Long.”

Bai Mu whispered Long Yan’s name; of course, he knew why Long Yan had invited Jingzhe back, but he was really reluctant to cooperate with Jingzhe, especially since today he even sought to collaborate with zombies to breach Chu Official City.

“Only by uniting together can we avoid war.”

With one sentence, Long Yan made his purpose crystal clear, but Bai Mu’s heart still harboured doubts; although Long Yan’s intention was good, Jingzhe’s ambition was so great that if it failed, what Long Yan did might instead become the capital for Jingzhe to wage a war.

“If it doesn’t work, I’ll personally put an end to him.”

A trace of coldness flashed in Long Yan’s eyes.

If Jingzhe still coveted the position of the Demon King, Long Yan wouldn’t mind destroying him directly.

Jingzhe also felt an indescribable fear surging throughout his body—an icy sensation he had never experienced even when surrounded by Demon Soldiers.

“I plan to lead a team to exterminate the Demonic Beasts, then divide the fertile land around us equally among the three families.”

After looking around, Long Yan spoke.

Present were the renowned bigwigs from the three families, both from Chu Official City and Gigantic King City.

Long Yan’s plan required the support of all the bigwigs in the inner world; or rather, they merely needed to partake in the fruits of victory.

Among them, the City Master of Heavenly Demon City had been brought here at the behest of Bai Mu, and thus he was completely unaware of Long Yan’s ability.

Each of the three maintained their own agenda, and as the weakest city, Heavenly Demon City certainly needed to gain more benefits, but its City Master still felt there was something inappropriate about the matter.

“Since you said you’ll lead the people, but what if we fail to conquer?”

Seeing Bai Mu and Jingzhe remaining silent, the Heavenly Demon City’s City Master took the initiative to raise this critical question.

Currently, Heavenly Demon City was behind Chu Official City, which meant if Chu Official City remained secure, he could comfortably maintain the safest position, thus he had no need to participate in this conference.

Maintaining the status quo in Heavenly Demon City was what he preferred.

“Of course, if you don’t want a better life, you may exit this conference; and naturally, if there is any gain, those who didn’t participate won’t have a right to the distribution.”

Long Yan said indifferently.

It was natural for people to think of personal gain, and the recent statement from the Heavenly Demon City’s City Master was also driven by the desire for more resources.

But in Long Yan’s heart, the only ones who deserved the most resources were from Chu Official City.

However, favoring one side over another was impossible if he wanted to prevent war.

Jingzhe blinked his small eyes, weighing the pros and cons of this battle.

As the person among the three cities with the most troops and thus the most authority to speak, although he was rather naive, he knew he was under Long Yan’s scrutiny.

If he made any significant moves, Long Yan would not hesitate to eliminate him.

Since he had already tied himself to Long Yan’s chariot, he would naturally do everything according to Long Yan’s wishes.

This matter would either bring success to all or loss to all; he no longer harbored any ambitions for supremacy.

Jingzhe now saw through the dynamics in the Demon Continent.

Long Yan’s strong entry was like a nuclear bomb, potentially changing the entire configuration of the Demon Race, or even within the entire inner world; even the likes of the Demon Emperor might change under Long Yan’s forceful intervention.

“I have something to say.”

When a consensus was about to be reached among everyone, Jingzhe suddenly spoke up, having made up his mind to see how far Long Yan could go.

“What?”

“It seems that balance is the order of the Demon King.”

With this statement, the three moguls fell silent.

Was Jingzhe telling the truth?

Yes, the internal consumption within the race wasn’t a rule handed down from Ancient Times, but a regulation enacted by the current Demon King.

“I guess only the Demon King’s adopted son would know the best about this, please, City Lord Bai Mu, enlighten us all about what exactly is going on.”

Jingzhe’s eyes scrutinized Bai Mu; out of everyone here, he was the least trustworthy!
