416: Chapter 415: Sweeping Through the Northern Continent?

“Very well, very well, very well.”

Ye Xuan repeated the word “very well” three times as he drained the cup of wine, which secretly relieved the Chi Yan Heavenly Corpse, knowing that his life was spared.

As cups and goblets were exchanged amid laughter and compliments, a banquet slowly unfolded.

Eleven Demon Kings successively toasted Ye Xuan to express their loyalty, making Ye Xuan smile and nod in response, yet his eyes remained calm and unrippled.

“Elder brother, your sister has a suggestion.” Qingqiu King’s cheeks were rosy, her eyes slightly blurred, obviously having consumed a good amount of Spiritual Wine as she displayed her charm.

“Sister, feel free to speak your mind.” Ye Xuan lightly tasted the wine in his cup, his voice smooth and mellow.

“Elder brother’s Cultivation reaches the heavens, not even Daluo can rival you, and with eleven Demon Kings of Heavenly Ridge along with elder brother, that makes twelve of us, why not call ourselves the Twelve Demons of Heavenly Ridge?” Qingqiu King suggested with a gentle smile.

“Seventh sister speaks wisely, elder brother’s cultivation touches the heavens, and soon you will be famous throughout the Northern Continent.

Let us carry the banner of the Twelve Demons of Heavenly Ridge, so that others outside also recognize the prestige of Heavenly Ridge, and undoubtedly we will dominate a region in the Northern Continent,” Candle Dragon King ingratiatingly added.

Naturally, their words received the approval of the other Demon Kings, and the atmosphere immediately heated up.

However, Ye Xuan remained silent.

When this silence was noticed by the eleven Demon Kings, they gradually quieted down, all turning their gaze towards Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan’s face remained composed as he slowly placed his wine cup down, which made all the Demon Kings sit straight, clearly knowing Ye Xuan was about to speak, and thus dared not make any further noise.

“The title “Twelve Demons of Heavenly Ridge” is good, and since my brothers suggest it, I too am in favor,”

Ye Xuan paused slightly, then looked around at the Demon Kings present, his voice deepening as he continued: “But there’s no need to dominate just a region.

Since I lead Heavenly Ridge, this mere spot of land is far too insignificant.”

“Hiss!”

With Ye Xuan’s words falling, the eleven Demon Kings’ faces subtly changed, some even inhaled sharply, as if they vaguely understood something, their eyes flashing with a mix of astonishment when looking at Ye Xuan.

“What does elder brother mean…?” Qingqiu King cautiously probed.

“For me, having great ambition is not my style.

The Northern Continent is rife with Demons and neither Buddhist nor Daoist factions exist, making it a perfect place for us to rise.

How about we, starting from Heavenly Ridge as our base, sweep across the entire Northern Continent?” Ye Xuan stated placidly.

Silence, deep silence, the ultimate silence.

When Ye Xuan finished speaking, the Demon Kings’ faces dramatically changed, their demon lights all in disarray, looking at Ye Xuan with extreme complexity and horror in their eyes.

It is unsurprising that the Demon Kings reacted so, as the Northern Continent is vast and boundless, with countless Evil Demons dominating various areas, and while Daluo Realm Demon Kings are few, they are certainly present.

Moreover, the Northern Continent is full of Primordial Ancient Mountains with extremely venomous Primordial Ancient Beasts still in existence.

Although their intelligence could not compare with that of Demons, some of their combat power was not weaker than those in the Daluo Realm.

Although Ye Xuan was strong, he was not yet strong enough to unite the entirety of the Northern Continent.

This was sheer fantasy.

“Elder brother, this cannot be done, this Northern Continent…”

“Hmm?”

Just as Qingqiu King was about to persuade him, but before she could finish her words, when she saw the cold glint in Ye Xuan’s eyes, the words in her mouth were immediately swallowed back, her spirit trembling at that moment.

Clearly, no one could defy Ye Xuan’s will, and this sudden realization jolted Qingqiu King awake, daring not to utter another word.

The other Demon Kings had complex expressions, wishing to persuade Ye Xuan, but seeing Qingqiu King’s pale cheeks silenced them, each face showing their dilemma.

“Hmph!”

Suddenly, Ye Xuan snorted and said, “Look at this pathetic sight of you all, merely the Northern Continent is already disturbing your peace of mind, even if you do step into the Daluo, you’ll merely be mediocrities among them.”

“Moreover, with your current state of mind, even if you were given a million more years, you wouldn’t be able to step into the Daluo Realm.”

Faced with Ye Xuan’s scolding, the Demon Kings’ faces turned red, yet they dared not say anything.

“Men should be ambitious, and demons are no exception.

If you are willing to help me sweep through the entire Northern Continent, we can snatch endless cultivation resources, and it wouldn’t be difficult for you to step into the Daluo within ten thousand years.”

Ye Xuan masterfully combined authority and incentive, this was his art of controlling people.

He knew very well that although he could suppress these Demon Kings with force, he must also offer them some benefits to keep them truly loyal.

“Daluo Realm?” The Swallowing Heaven Toad murmured, his eyes shining, evidently moved by Ye Xuan’s words.

It wasn’t just the Swallowing Heaven Toad; the other Demon Kings felt the same.

They were all Luotian Golden Immortals, and stepping into Daluo was their dream, making it an irresistible temptation for them.

“Heaven and Earth Spiritual Essence, Primordial Spiritual Fruit…

Although the Northern Continent is a land of rugged mountains and foul waters, it doesn’t mean that these things don’t exist.

As long as we conquer the Northern Continent, these cultivation enhancing items will be easily accessible.”

Ye Xuan seemed to transform into a demon, his voice laden with temptation, causing the Demon Kings to clench their fists, their eyes filled with immense greed.

“Big Brother, I am willing to follow you and unify the Northern Continent,” Swallowing Heaven Toad said in a deep voice, being the first to express his stance.

As the saying goes, where there is a first, there will be a second.

Once Swallowing Heaven Toad took the lead, although the other Demon Kings hesitated, they still voiced their agreement, clearly the allure of the Daluo Realm also making them extremely eager.

Greed is the driving force behind human progress, even Saints are no exception, let alone the Demon Kings present?

Looking at the excited faces of the eleven Demon Kings, Ye Xuan smiled slightly, knowing that the situation was set, he then gradually issued a few commands.

First, train the endless demons, daily training to enhance the demons’ cultivation.

Second, scout out all demonic forces in the Northern Continent and target these forces one by one for destruction.

Third, conserve strength and make strategic deployments; Ye Xuan wanted the eleven Demon Kings to build a grand demonic army.

The three commands were carefully noted by the Demon Kings, and as the sun set, the Demon Kings dispersed, summoning their endless demons, starting to act according to Ye Xuan’s instructions.

On Heavenly Peak.

Ye Xuan stood alone under the moon, a breeze coming in that caused his black hair to flutter, he gazed towards the East heaven and earth, his Dharma Eyes seeming to see through the Thirty-Three Heavens, his voice murmuring, “Northern Continent, demons all over, slaughtering billions of beings, slaughtering the Daluo Demon King, based on the Tribulation Immortal Skill, when the Nine Revolutions Daluo Golden Pill is in Great Success, it will be the time for me, Ye Xuan, to step into the Golden Immortal of Daluo.”

“Not long now, this time is not far!” Ye Xuan smirked cryptically, his body becoming ethereal and limitless, quietly disappearing from Heavenly Peak.
