God of Pets-Chapter 686: Brainless Great Demon King?

"Zi Donglai, if you want to try and smooth things over now, it’s too late." The Night King, standing to the Demon King’s left, spoke coldly, "Please, my king, order the massacre of the city."

His heart was filled with intense hatred for Zi Donglai, and this time he sought to exact revenge.

This time, alongside the Demon King, it was just him and the Snow Demon General who accompanied him, while the Unending Demon General and the True Profound Demon General remained at home to defend.

Having crossed the Kunwu Sea to come here, they were unable to communicate with Demon King City; the Unending Demon General and the True Profound Demon General had no means to contact them and were still unaware of Little Seven’s disappearance.

At Demon King City, those two demon generals were nearly turning everything upside down in search.

They did not know what the Demon King might do once he learned something had happened to Little Seven, but they were well aware of Little Seven’s importance in the Demon King’s heart.

In Gong Xuancheng’s heart was delight; if the Demon King Army were to launch an attack proactively without him having to utter a word, it would be ideal.

At this time, the other gatekeepers and soldiers from the three gates of Purple Sun City looked at the oppressively dark mass of troops outside and couldn’t help but feel anxious.

The number of troops was overwhelmingly large; Purple Sun City had a total population of less than fifty thousand now, with other populations and forces assigned to Taishan City, Mute City, and Celestial Yang City.

Any single direction’s forces outside exceeded the entire population of Purple Sun City.

If their commander were not Zi Donglai, they might have already despaired.

But because their commander was the mighty Zi Donglai, the situation was different.

The past triumphs where Zi Donglai led just a few hundred men to annihilate an army of one hundred thousand demons seemed like it was just yesterday. With Zi Donglai present, their spirits were lifted; they wouldn’t despair, no matter how formidable the enemy seemed—they felt they could still give it a fight.

Everyone was waiting for the Demon King’s command, but the Demon King merely sat atop his demon steed, gazing at Chen Guan standing on the city gate tower, with no response or attack orders issued.

"Demon King, I have a friend of yours here as a guest. Why not meet her first?" Chen Guan said, as someone came up beside him.

"Little Eight, the villains of the Gong Family want to kill me and blame City Lord Zi. It was City Lord Zi who saved me. The Gong Family people are all bad," Little Seven stood atop the city gate, shouting to the Demon King.

Daring to address the Demon King like this, only she had the audacity.

The numerous demon soldiers and generals from Demon King City, upon hearing what Little Seven said, all directed their gazes towards Gong Xuancheng.

One had to admit, Gong Xuancheng’s mental resilience was truly formidable; even at this moment, he remained unperturbed, as if it was not his Gong Family being accused by Little Seven.

"Demon King, our Gong Family have mortal enmity with Zi Donglai and Jin Taohua, but you are our friends. Would you do such a thing? Fine, let’s say I lack sense, even if it were me who did it, do you think I’d leave evidence for Zi Donglai? If you believe something like this, you must think little of me, Gong Xuancheng."

He bowed his head and saluted the Demon King, "If the Demon King believes this act was mine, then sever my head, but after you sever it, I ask you to ensure Purple Sun City falls and Zi Donglai is slain, otherwise I won’t die peacefully."

His sincerity seemed genuine, not feigned in the least; the crowd further considered that Zi Donglai had longstanding enmity with the Gong Family—it was likely that Zi Donglai had framed them to provoke a rift between Demon King City and the Gong Family.

Nonetheless, even if it were truly the Gong Family, the Night King and his allies would prefer to blame it on Zi Donglai.

They had come together; if they were to engage in mutual slaughter outside Purple Sun City, they’d both suffer losses, allowing Zi Donglai to reap the rewards. How many of them would make it back to Demon King City alive?

So, whether Zi Donglai had set the trap or not, the blame must lie with him.

Yet unexpectedly to all, the Demon King suddenly lifted his head, formed a knife with his hand, and conjured a blade of Primordial Energy, slicing Gong Xuancheng’s head off without hesitation.

The Demon King Army and the Gong Family members accompanying Gong Xuancheng were dumbfounded—no one could have anticipated the Demon King would so decisively strike against Gong Xuancheng without a hint of hesitation.

"Does he not realize what would result from internal fighting outside the gates of Purple Sun City?" The Gong Family couldn’t believe the Demon King actually acted against Gong Xuancheng.

Gong Xuancheng’s body fell to the ground, transforming eerily into a headless puppet; even the severed head turned out to be carved from wood.

Gong Xuancheng’s figure reappeared before many experts of the Gong Family, looking coldly at the Demon King, "Demon King, are you truly going to do something that pleases the enemy and grieves your own?"

"Kill." The Demon King, however, paid him no heed, coldly uttering a single word.

The Night King, the Snow Demon General, and the Demon King Army hesitated; killing allies before enemy gates was an operation unheard of through the ages.

"What, do I need to repeat it?" The Demon King’s commanding gaze swept over the Night King and others, his tone devoid of human warmth as he spoke icily.

"Kill." The Night King and the Snow Demon General felt a chill within, hurriedly ordering the Demon King Army to launch an attack, and they dashed forward.

Mo Qingtian, Mo Kai, and Demon Star were stunned, feeling as if fate had played a colossal prank on them, as if toying with them.

Whether this Demon King had taken leave of his senses was unclear, but he actually ordered a life-and-death fight with the Gong Family.

Even if it were truly a trap set by Purple Sun City—let’s say it was the Gong Family’s doing—now wasn’t the time to settle accounts. He could have ordered the Gong Family’s forces to siege while the Demon King Army stayed idle, reaping the benefits.

To them, the Demon King made a gravely foolish decision.

But they had no choice, complying with the order to fight the Gong Family.

In the Demon King Army, no one dared question the Demon King’s decisions.

Gong Xuancheng was confused—over a few words from Little Seven, without even allowing them a chance for defense, the Demon King launched an open battle against the Gong Family right under enemy noses.

No matter how much Gong Xuancheng pondered, he couldn’t fathom how there could be such foolish people in the world.

"Damn it, demons will be demons, all uncivilized savages, utterly irrational." Gong Xuancheng directly ordered to engage in combat.

Though he had just a few hundred with him, these were elites among elites, prepared to be the main battleground heroes in a bloody clash against Purple Sun City.

At present, he had no option but to retreat with his men to join the Gong Family’s main force.

Yet the Demon King granted no opportunity for retreat; the Demon King Army had encircled them tightly, launching wave after wave of assault.

"You foolish demons, you truly think you’re something. Without our support, you’d have been obliterated centuries ago." Gong Xuancheng furiously issued orders, truly initiating the battle.

Unclear on how things had escalated, he now had no option but to attempt annihilating both the Demon King Army and Purple Sun Corps.

His prepared contingencies were sufficient and strong enough, not without chance to accomplish such a feat.

With Gong Xuancheng’s order, signals shot into the sky, revealing bizarre lights ascending in all directions, forming a colossal green light curtain.

From the sky, it appeared like a giant light bowl inverted over the earth, enveloping all of Purple Sun City and the surrounding Demon King Army.

Numerous Gong Family troops, arrayed in formations from all sides, maintained the bizarre light curtain.
