423: Chapter 422 Betrayal?

At that moment, the atmosphere in the great hall became extremely oppressive, with a sinister murderous aura circling around.

Clearly, the Dragon King was seizing the opportunity to pick a quarrel and establish his authority, because among the several hundred Demon Kings present, only he was a Demon King of the Daluo Realm, commanding twelve Luotian Golden Immortals as his brothers, fully controlling the entire situation.

In fact, the Dragon King’s difficulty with Ye Xuan seemed to arise because of the Huo Ya Daoist, but the real reason was the Beiming Sea.

Among these several hundred Demon Kings, Ye Xuan’s force was the largest, with three Great Demon Kings standing by his side.

If he could suppress Ye Xuan, the other Demon Kings would naturally dare not harbor rebellious thoughts.

Why the Dragon King did not let the demons leave but waited here for ten years was because he wanted to monopolize the Kunpeng Inheritance.

If he let the demons disperse and the news spread, attracting other Daluo Realm Demon Kings, that was definitely not the result he hoped for.

The Demon Kings present were not fools and naturally saw that the Dragon King was making an example out of one to warn the others, clearly telling them that if they behaved themselves, once he obtained the Kunpeng Inheritance, he would naturally not treat these Demon Kings unfairly.

However, if they harbored dissent, they would be making an enemy of him, the Dragon King.

The group of demons naturally understood the Dragon King’s intentions, each Demon King’s expression extremely ugly, but they also dared not say anything.

Only, who was the chicken and who was the monkey remained uncertain!

Ripples spread across the water, and demon light filled the air as twelve Demon Kings walked towards Ye Xuan.

The Dragon King, with a smile on his lips, tasted the water wine, exuding a confidence that he had everything under control.

At this time, the group of demons helplessly shook their heads, looking at Ye Xuan with pity in their eyes, while the North Sea Dragon King looked on indifferently, not uttering a word to stop them, as if he had anticipated all this.

“Dragon King, do you wish to wage war against my Heavenly Ridge?” bellowed the Swallowing Heaven Toad, his eyes wide and demon light rippling around him, his belly terrifyingly bulging as if he was ready to start a fight at a word.

“Swallowing Heaven Toad, you too are a strange creature from the Primordial, why follow Kong Li?

If you agree, you can join my Fallen Immortal Cave.

This king will definitely not mistreat you,” the Dragon King said authoritatively, clearly very familiar with the Swallowing Heaven Toad and having long intended to sway him.

Faced with the Dragon King’s invitation, the Swallowing Heaven Toad’s expression subtly changed.

He sneakily glanced at Ye Xuan with the corner of his eye and saw that Ye Xuan was indifferently drinking wine, which made his heart skip a beat, recalling the scene where Ye Xuan almost blew up the Chi Yan Heavenly Corpse.

The Swallowing Heaven Toad didn’t have any real loyalty to Ye Xuan; it was only because Ye Xuan’s cultivation was unfathomable that he had subdued him.

But the Dragon King in front of him was indeed a Demon King of the Daluo Realm.

Moreover, with the situation now of the enemy being strong and he being weak, and the Dragon King commanding twelve Luotian Demon Kings, however powerful Ye Xuan was, how could he possibly contend against the Dragon King and his twelve Luotian Demon Kings?

A dilemma lay before the Swallowing Heaven Toad, leaving his eyes darting around, uncertain of what choice to make.

Observing the Swallowing Heaven Toad’s hesitant expression, the Dragon King smiled faintly, also noticing that the Swallowing Heaven Toad wasn’t so committed to Ye Xuan, which led him to glance at both the Candle Dragon King and the Qingqiu King, his voice gentle, “You two are also renowned Demon Kings.

How can the mere Heavenly Ridge fulfill your ambitions?

If today you two submit to my Fallen Immortal Cave, you can each govern a section of the cave, and this king will treat you both as brothers.”

As the Dragon King’s words fell, both the Candle Dragon King and the Qingqiu King’s aura became disordered, evidently contemplating similar thoughts as the Swallowing Heaven Toad.

However, both had personally witnessed the Blood God King’s death at the hands of Ye Xuan, and deep inside they were extremely fearful of Ye Xuan.

But now, with the Dragon King and his twelve brothers, however strong Ye Xuan was, how could he be a match for them?

At that moment, Ye Xuan tasted the wine in his cup with an indifferent expression, as if he had not heard the Dragon King at all, inciting his subordinates to betray him.

This caused the Dragon King to frown, unsure whether Ye Xuan was feigning composure.

“Kill them.”

Suddenly, Ye Xuan finished the wine, casually threw the cup onto the table, and his voice, calm and steady, reached the ears of the Swallowing Heaven Toad and the others.

“Big…

brother…

could…

could we perhaps think this through longer…?” The Swallowing Heaven Toad still failed to make a decision, which forced a strained smile upon his face.

“Ha ha!”

Ye Xuan laughed, a warm smile upon his face; yet, to the Swallowing Heaven Toad, it sent a shiver down his spine, causing him to look down, too terrified to meet Ye Xuan’s eyes.

Such a scene slightly changed the Dragon King’s complexion; he knew well the extent of the Swallowing Heaven Toad’s capabilities and he had never expected the toad to fear Ye Xuan so much.

This was exceedingly surprising to him.

Bear in mind, the Swallowing Heaven Toad, like him, was a creature from Primordial times.

Although just at the peak of Luotian, his Innate Divine Ability was extremely formidable, so much so that even he would find it difficult to kill him, which was exactly why he personally attempted to turn the toad.

But now, seeing how the Swallowing Heaven Toad feared Ye Xuan, the Dragon King’s expression changed subtly as he continuously scrutinized Ye Xuan, hoping to discern some hidden power that could instill such fear in the toad.

“Swallowing Heaven Toad, do you know the consequences of defying my orders?” Ye Xuan’s presence was unimposing, his voice calm, but it made the toad’s breath catch in his throat.

“Hmph!”

Suddenly, before the Swallowing Heaven Toad could respond, the Daoist Huo Ya stepped forward and said, “Daoist Swallowing Heaven, you can rest assured, my elder brother is the master of the Fallen Immortal Cave and a Heavenly Demon in the Northern Continent.

If you join the Fallen Immortal Cave, killing Kong Li today will be a minor matter.”

After Daoist Huo Ya finished speaking, he turned directly to the Candle Dragon King and said, “Candle Dragon, my brother, we have been friends for many years; you should know what kind of person Dragon King is.

Out of respect for our long-standing friendship, if you switch sides now, the Dragon King will certainly treat you well.”

At this moment, the Candle Dragon King’s face was a mixture of light and shadow; he could clearly see that the situation was unfavorable for Ye Xuan and given that he had previously offended Ye Xuan, the invitation from the Dragon King was very tempting to him.

“Young brother pays respect to Dragon King.”

The Candle Dragon King was a fair-weather friend, going wherever the wind blew.

He had no loyalty toward Ye Xuan and seeing the situation for what it was, he naturally chose the side that was advantageous for him.

“Ha ha, very good.”

The Dragon King laughed heartily, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction, and said, “Candle Dragon, my wise brother, since you are willing to acknowledge me as your elder brother, I naturally won’t treat you unfairly.”

The Candle Dragon King took a step forward, instantly appearing beside the Dragon King, and bowed deeply, saying, “Elder brother, this Kong Li has oppressed me for a long time, and I have long been dissatisfied with him.

Unfortunately, his cultivation is peculiar, and I am no match for him.

Had elder brother not come to my aid today, I don’t know how much longer I would have remained enslaved by Kong Li.”
