Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 466: Do You Know What to Do Now?
After Brother Cheng and Three-Eyed Tiger finished their match, the one between Qi Yuan and Eight-Tails ended quickly on the other side.
As usual, it was a deliberate concession for the Qilin Race.
But even without conceding, in terms of power, Qi Yuan was naturally above Eight-Tails.
Thus, in the final round of the tournament, the showdown left was between Brother Cheng and Eight-Tails.
Meanwhile, the other top eight contestants also needed to be ranked.
Three-Eyed Tiger would still have to battle Eight-Tailed Quasi-Emperor for the third and fourth positions.
The War Monkey King had just been absent from the fifth to eighth place battle because he was violently beaten by the Ancient Ape Emperor, and was directly judged to be eighth.
The two Qilin Emperors were anxious and furious.
In these successive rounds, Cang Cheng hadn’t been hurt even a bit, utterly unaffected.
His condition was even more perfect compared to Qi Yuan.
Their series of arrangements had utterly failed.
Now, they could only watch Qi Yuan fight him fairly.
Just before Brother Cheng went on stage, he suddenly heard Emperor Mo Lin’s transmission.
"Lose to Qi Yuan, and we won’t treat you poorly!"
They’re not foolish.
The recent match between Brother Cheng and Three-Eyed Tiger was a show, but what the show revealed had been enough to astonish them.
That was fighting power beyond the limits of a Quasi-Emperor.
Qi Yuan couldn’t be his opponent, and if it came to a real clash, the consequences would be as miserable as with Qi Sheng before.
"Lose to him? Why?"
Brother Cheng felt quite bewildered.
They’ve been targeting him all along, and they still have the nerve to ask him to lose on purpose?
Who gave them the gall?
"You should think about Azure Dragon Valley."
"Even if you enter the Earth Division, it’s just you returning to the Demon Realm; Azure Dragon Valley will still face pressure from the Immortal Realm."
Emperor Mo Lin’s cold voice carried a heavy chill.
"As long as you concede this round, we can decide to let Azure Dragon Valley return to the Demon Realm!"
Brother Cheng inwardly remarked how delusional they were.
Azure Dragon Valley was expelled by them before, and now they could use it as a condition for him to concede?
Wanting to take all the benefits for themselves?
"You have no sincerity at all. How are you even daring enough to propose such conditions?"
What’s this about returning to the Demon Realm.
Does he care?
Where can’t he live?
If it wasn’t for Cang Ling being worried about the fate of the entire Dragon Race, he would have moved Azure Dragon Valley over to the Immortal Realm long ago.
"You better not act shamelessly!"
"To be frank, even if you truly become the Lord of the Earth Department, you’ll be a mere figurehead with no real power."
"Do you think many of the Demon Race will follow your command?"
Emperor Mo Lin’s threat had no impact on Brother Cheng.
The reason he eyed the position of Lord of the Earth Department was simply because he thought it looked prestigious, with status.
Regarding the position’s authority, he had no interest at all.
Back then, he was a hands-off shopkeeper at even a small Feixian Sect, how would he have the interest to manage the vast Demon Race.
But on the surface, he deliberately acted as if he cared a lot.
"Really, are you this despicable?"
"Hm, without our cooperation, you won’t succeed in the Earth Division!"
Emperor Mo Lin was busy continuing his threats.
"You’ve already crippled Qi Sheng. If you dare make a move on Qi Yuan again, your Dragon Race won’t need to exist anymore."
"Wow, your Qilin Race is really domineering."
"Good that you understand."
"Alright, alright, I got it."
Emperor Mo Lin felt pleased, as though he’d genuinely submitted.
Then he transmitted again to Qi Yuan: "In the upcoming battle, don’t give Cang Cheng any chance."
Qi Yuan found it hard to grasp the situation.
I won’t give him a chance?
I can’t even defeat him.
This final showdown, he hardly dared to go on.
Emperor Mo Lin laughed sarcastically: "He must consider the Azure Dragon Race behind him and can’t resist our overwhelming force."
"I’ve threatened him. Next, he’ll cooperate and let you win."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan was as delighted as if hearing the sound of nature.
"He’ll let me win?"
"Of course!"
The Great Emperor spoke dispassionately: "The Grand Demon Assembly is essentially a feast manipulated by dominant races."
"No matter how strong he is, he can only bow his head."
"Excellent!"
Qi Yuan nodded repeatedly, rubbing his hands with excitement.
Today in this assembly, all eyes were on Cang Cheng. If he could publicly defeat him, he’d gain unrivaled prestige.
Stepping on him to ascend, reaching the pinnacle!
"Next, while you’re pretending to fight, he’ll certainly drop his guard, using only a small portion of his power."
Killing intent flashed in Emperor Mo Lin’s eyes: "You can seize this opportunity to cripple him!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Returning the Azure Dragon Race to the Demon Realm, such a thing was never a consideration from the start.
With Cang Cheng crippled, the Azure Dragon Race would perish.
No one knew about the previous ’negotiation’, so why not go back on it?
Qi Yuan understood well, a cruel smile crept on his lips.
"I was planning to do just that!"
"He’s used up all his glory today; it’s time to fall."
"I’ll make him end in a miserable show!"
Finally, this final match slowly unfolded under the eyes of all the Demons present.
Even in the distance, the Ancient Ape Emperor and the badly harmed War Monkey King rushed back.
After having fought, they seemed to have reached some decision.
The Ancient Ape Emperor said nothing further, and naturally, the War Monkey King stood beside Cang Ji.
"Really, Qi Yuan dares to stand before Sect Leader Jiang, what a hard head."
"Indeed, is he crazy? Can’t he see the gap in strength?"
Cang Ji watched for a while but gradually frowned.
"He looks as if he’s already won, such baseless confidence."
Nearby, Yazi and Shangeng nodded slightly.
"Indeed, he might have some hidden plan."
"That Qilin race is quite insidious, we can’t be careless."
They were all schemers, thinking very far ahead, but the Sparrow Demons were different.
"Just waiting for the Azure Dragon Emperor to ascend!"
"We said at the start he was the Lord of the Earth Department, but none of you believed."
"How about now?"
"Our Sparrow Race certainly had the foresight, earliest to favor the True Dragon Bright Lord!"
The other Demons beside them were speechless.
This group’s playful bragging every time unexpectedly hit the mark, what can you say in return?
The Demonic Emperors of the top palace also were fully focused, closely observing this decisive battle.
The position of Lord of the Earth Department is very unique.
Nominally, he stands equal to the Demon Emperor.
On the other hand, since Demon Emperors seldom emerge from seclusion, appearing mostly on such grand occasions, rarely do they handle affairs.
Thus, the daily internal and external affairs of the Demon Realm are actually managed by the Earth Department.
The Lord of the Earth Department is equivalent to the Grand Steward of the entire Demon Realm.
This position, pulling the strings everywhere, had always been held by the Qilin Race and never changed hands.
If this time it truly changes, it might bring some unexpected changes indeed.
Within the bubble, Qi Yuan surveyed proudly, brimming with confidence.
Looking at Brother Cheng like he’s seeing a Demon on the verge of death.
"You should know what to do now?"
He secretly transmitted: "If your act isn’t convincing enough, your Azure Dragon Race won’t return to the Demon Realm."
Brother Cheng mused how they truly considered themselves something special, commanding him in such a presumptuous manner, teaching him how to act, seriously?
