434: Chapter 433: I Killed Them, Any Problem?

Bang!

Swallowing Heaven Toad’s expression turned icy cold, and he suddenly smashed the desk in front of him into pieces.

His gaze towards the White Deer King revealed an extremely violent murderous intent.

He then addressed the gathered Demon Kings, his chilling and somber voice echoing within the Council Hall.

“My elder brother’s cultivation reaches the heavens.

Whoever dares to bully Heavenly Ridge, I will kill one if one comes, and kill a pair if a pair comes.

However, if anyone among you brothers wishes to collude with foreign enemies and betray my elder brother, if I discover it, don’t blame me for disregarding our years of brotherhood.”

Swallowing Heaven Toad had the highest cultivation among these Demon Kings.

Naturally, his anger silenced the others, but dissatisfaction was evident in their eyes.

They were extremely puzzled as to why Swallowing Heaven Toad was so loyal to Ye Xuan after only a trip to the North Sea with Qingqiu King.

Unfortunately, Swallowing Heaven Toad naturally wouldn’t tell the Demon Kings that Ye Xuan was Emperor Dongji.

His loyalty to Ye Xuan was also a way to curry favor.

Once Ye Xuan entered Daluo and returned to the Heavenly Court, he would naturally benefit greatly.

Of course, Swallowing Heaven Toad could not speak of these matters now; he only had to wait for Ye Xuan to reveal his identity himself.

“Enough, second brother, the most important matter now is how to send these envoys away.

Let’s wait for my elder brother to finish his seclusion before discussing other matters.” Qingqiu King spoke with slightly furrowed brows.

Hearing Qingqiu King’s words, Swallowing Heaven Toad’s anger subsided, knowing that now was not the time for internal strife.

“Let these envoys come in; I want to see what these Evil Demons intend to do.” Swallowing Heaven Toad said grimly, ordering a Little Demon beside him to fulfill the command.

Soon, a bevy of footsteps came from outside the hall.

Dozens of Great Demons entered the Council Hall, showing no fear in their eyes when they saw the ten Demon Kings present.

“What pressing matters bring various Daoist brethren to Heavenly Ridge?” Swallowing Heaven Toad asked, feigning ignorance of the envoys’ purpose.

“Black Hawk King under the command of Mother of Wushan greets the seniors.”

“Qing Jiao King under the command of Grand Ancestor Yinglong greets the seniors.”

“Mountain Demon King under the command of Grand Ancestor Jishan greets the seniors.”

…

Dozens of Great Demons bowed in greeting.

Although they were also Demon Kings, their cultivation was not high, the highest among them being only Taiyi Golden Immortals.

Seeing Swallowing Heaven Toad and others, they naturally maintained the reverence of juniors.

However, as envoys of various formidable Evil Demon forces, although their cultivation was not high, they represented their respective forces and naturally did not grovel before Swallowing Heaven Toad; instead, they carried an overbearing aura.

“I wonder which among you is Beichen Great Saint?” Black Hawk King asked coldly while scrutinizing Swallowing Heaven Toad and the others, but he did not see Ye Xuan, which made his expression increasingly grim.

“My elder brother is currently in seclusion.

Heavenly Ridge is under my control for now.

Whatever matters you have, speak to me.” Swallowing Heaven Toad declared with a steely gaze.

“Good!”

Black Hawk King’s mouth curled into a cold smile, saying, “We follow the commands of the ancestors to ask you about Heavenly Ridge, the destruction of the North Sea Dragon Palace, the tragic deaths of various Demon Kings.

Why is it that only Kong Li returned safely?

Please, Swallowing Heaven Toad, could you explain this matter?”

At that moment, Black Hawk King kept smirking, and the other envoys also wore displeased expressions.

Although they did not explicitly accuse Kong Li, the questioning intent in their words was clear.

“Hmph!”

Swallowing Heaven Toad snorted coldly, “What a joke.

This matter of the Demon Kings dying tragically and the destruction of the North Sea Dragon Palace, what does it have to do with my Heavenly Ridge?

Perhaps the envoys have asked the wrong person?”

“Asked the wrong person?”

King of the Mountain Demons scoffed repeatedly, “All the Great Demon Kings met their tragic end, and the North Sea Dragon Palace was destroyed.

Members of the Sea Clan saw with their own eyes how you, the Swallowing Heaven Toad, and the Qingqiu King, drenched in blood, left the North Sea Dragon Palace.

Now you’re telling us that this has nothing to do with Heavenly Ridge.

Isn’t this a huge joke?”

“Indeed, if you from Heavenly Ridge don’t give us an explanation today, when our ancestors arrive in the future, I’m afraid you won’t even have the chance to explain,” declared King Qingjiao coldly.

“How dare you!”

Suddenly, the Swallowing Heaven Toad roared furiously.

The entire Council Hall trembled violently, terror-stricken demonic light pervaded the air, and its gaze towards the envoys present was filled with an extremely sinister air.

“Swallowing Heaven Toad, do not think that just because you are a peak Luotian we will be scared of you.

If you are capable, kill us today.

However, we must remind you, if we die here, within three days Heavenly Ridge will have to bury us all,” Black Hawk King retorted coldly.

“Brother, please don’t be impulsive.”

King White Deer’s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly advised the Swallowing Heaven Toad, clearly indicating that these envoys must not be killed, or else it would surely bring great disaster to Heavenly Ridge.

“Brother, calm your anger.

All Daoists present, please also quell your thunderous rage.

We from Heavenly Ridge will certainly give everyone a satisfactory explanation,” King Lionheart hurriedly interjected.

The two Great Demon Kings bowed their heads, emboldening the envoys even more.

Although Heavenly Ridge could be considered a tyrant of the Northern Continent, it naturally had to bow its head in the face of all demonic powers of the Northern Continent.

The envoys knew this very well, which was the source of their immense confidence.

“Hmph, you’ve talked for so long and yet there’s no one with decision-making power here.

Since that’s the case, call Kong Li out.

As long as he gives us a satisfactory explanation, we will leave without another word,” King of the Mountain Demons said coldly.

“This…

this…?”

King Lionheart’s face turned red, and he seemed at a loss for words.

How could he not want Ye Xuan to come out and resolve the matter?

However, Ye Xuan was currently in seclusion; moreover, he had issued a strict command before his seclusion not to disturb him, which made King Lionheart unsure how to handle the situation.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the void churned, ripples spread, and a demonic light quietly appeared in the Council Hall.

As the light dissipated, it also revealed the figure of Ye Xuan, bringing joy to the faces of the Ten Great Demon Kings.

“Big brother!”

The Swallowing Heaven Toad bowed first, and the other Demon Kings quickly paid their respects to Ye Xuan.

However, the envoys looked at Ye Xuan with disapproval, clearly knowing that the person responsible for managing Heavenly Ridge was Kong Li.

Calm and indifferent, Ye Xuan faced the arrival of these envoys without the slightest surprise, as if he had long anticipated this outcome.

“Kong Li, since you’ve come out, that makes things easier.

Please explain how the Great Demon Kings died, and who the real murderer is,” Black Hawk King strode forward, unafraid as he faced Ye Xuan, his voice full of accusatory tones.

Ye Xuan, clad in black, with jet-black hair falling behind his head and eyes opening and closing as deep as ancient pools, glanced at the envoys present with a touch of indifference.

“I killed them.

Any problem with that?”

Ye Xuan seemed to be talking about something very casual, but when these words reached everyone’s ears, they instantly rendered the entire Council Hall eerily silent, causing the crowd to look at Ye Xuan in shock.
