Including Selena.

All the magic experts knew the unsaid implications behind the Eastern Demon Lord’s words.

Since the fate of the Western Extreme Demon Lord was unknown, then was a mere Blood Moon Demon Wolf important?

Could the relationship between the Eastern Demon Lord and the Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf truly be that good?

Certainly not.

This was a probe, a test of Jia Loulan’s attitude towards his Eastern Demon Kingdom.

Much like the culture of drinking at the dinner table in Yi Chen’s previous life, this was a kind of probe or submission statement; offering a toast signified subjugation to your authority.

Such probes have existed since ancient times, in both the East and the West.

For example, the large nations in the East would typically engage in the much-criticized practice of offering toasts, while the West did not bother with this, having their own national traditions, opting for “visiting Loli Island” as their form of offering a toast…

The intention of the Eastern Demon Lord was obvious; as long as Yi Chen released the Blood Moon Demon Wolf, it meant he acknowledged the changing of the flags on the Western Extreme Demon Country’s battlements and that he, Jia Loulan, would take over the Western Extreme Royal City.

“Holy Venerable, faced with this, what will you choose?” Selena’s captivating eyes were intently fixed on Yi Chen, eager for his response since it would relate to her own ambitions and the future of the Demon Righteous Church.

“Release the Blood Moon Demon Wolf?”

A flash of divine light flickered in Yi Chen’s eyes, but his face adopted a smile as he descended slowly in front of the old Turtle Demon as if he were carrying a dead dog.

“Indeed, I wonder what does the Sect Hierarch think of this?” Seeing that Yi Chen’s attitude seemed to have softened, relief momentarily crossed the old Turtle Demon’s face.

No one who had not stood before Yi Chen could comprehend that horrifying sense of suppression; if possible, it truly did not wish for its own Demon Lord to engage in war with him now.

A king should not be provoked lightly.

If the Western Extreme Demon Lord were to hold fast to the Western Extreme Royal City, the old Turtle Demon believed that with the years of foundations laid by the Demon Wolf Clan, combined with the Western Extreme Demon Lord personally overseeing the Great Formation, even the Sect Hierarch Jia Loulan before him would not be able to break through easily and fall into the same unknown fate as the current one.

“Eh, the Special Envoy might not be aware, but I, Jia Loulan, also have my own difficulties,” sighed Yi Chen, his gaze sweeping across his surroundings before settling on the old Turtle Demon.

“What does the Sect Hierarch mean?” The old Turtle Demon’s tone cooled upon hearing Yi Chen’s words.

“It’s nothing.”

“The Eastern Demon Lord sends a Special Envoy to speak with me, Jia Loulan, which honors me.”

“I have come before the Special Envoy in response, that is me giving face to the Eastern Demon Lord.”

“The Eastern Demon Lord has his friends, and I, Jia Loulan, have my brothers of the Demon Righteous Church.

Please relay a message to the Eastern Demon Lord for me: Ask the Demon Lord to grant me, Jia Loulan, this respect, to not interfere in the grudge between me and the Demon Wolf Clan.

Let bygones be bygones, shall we?”

Yi Chen’s expression remained calm, his eyes like the depths of a still lake, unfathomable, and despite the coldness in the old Turtle Demon’s tone, he continued to speak unhurriedly.

Without waiting for the old Turtle Demon to reply, Yi Chen’s gaze suddenly shifted, landing on the envoys of the other two great Demon Kingdoms.

“This is also what I wish to say to the other two Kings.”

“Today I, Jia Loulan, will invariably take over the Western Extreme Royal City.

If the envoys wish to leave today, I, Jia Loulan, will not keep you; however, should you and the hidden agents of your Demon Nations still wish to linger within the borders of my Western Extreme Demon Country…”

“I shall kill without mercy!”

“I wonder what choices the three envoys will make?”

After launching a punch that turned two Demon Nobles, who tried to sneak away, into a mist of blood, Yi Chen turned to the three Demon Nation envoys with a grin.

The sky stretched out like a canopy, enveloping the wilderness.

Ten breaths later, watching the backs of the three great Demon Nation envoys as they departed, Selena stepped forward to block the path of the three Demons.

She took out three wooden boxes, handing them to the envoys of the three great Demon Kingdoms, saying they were gifts specially prepared by the Holy Venerable for the three Demon Lords.

Despite racking her brains, Selena could not fathom the Holy Venerable’s intention in giving three unripe eggs to the three Demon Lords.

Watching the astonished expression on the faces of the three great Demon Nation envoys and the contemplative look on Selena’s face from afar, Yi Chen could not help but wear a smile full of wicked amusement.

He exhaled Extreme Origin from his hand and plucked off the head of the Blood Moon Demon Wolf like a big watermelon, then let it drop into the surging waters of the Heavenly Wolf River.

[You have successfully killed the Blood Moon Demon Wolf, earning seventeen million Deep Red Points.]

Another seventeen million Deep Red Points to his tally.

The Eastern Demon Lord asked him, Yi Chengzi, to save face, could he, Yi Chengzi, afford to do so?

If he gave face to the Eastern Demon Lord, who would give face to him, Yi Chengzi?

Most importantly, what would he, Yi Chengzi, eat and drink if he gave in?

Unless the Eastern Demon Lord had the ability to nourish on ‘face’.

The waters of the Heavenly Wolf River surged tirelessly, for countless millennia.

The Western Extreme Royal City, grand and majestic.

Above the Heavenly Wolf River, Holy Venerable Jia Loulan raised his hand high, suddenly pointing towards the magnificent Royal City in front, “Followers of the Demon Righteous Church, heed my order, surround this city for me.”

“I hope to dine with all of you in the Western Extreme Royal City by noon.”

“All of you, come with me!” Yi Chen suddenly added after a moment’s thought, unable to forget his Deep Red Points. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

“Remember, after the city falls, those who surrender shall not be killed.

They must undergo my Yi Chengzi’s Holy Judgment before dealing with them.”

At this moment, although the members of the Demon Righteous Church did not understand, none of the Demonkin dared to ask questions.

Amidst the thunderous chorus of affirmations from the horde of demons, the army set out.

…

…

Three days later.

The Royal City of the Western Extreme was still ablaze with light.

On street corners and alleyways, countless common Demonkin children were eating candied haws, singing a nursery rhyme joyfully.

“Welcome the Holy Venerable, await the Holy Venerable, the Holy Venerable arrives to grant us land!”

Yi Chen had underestimated the rage simmering in the hearts of the Demonkin for countless years, a powerful flame capable of burning anyone to ashes.

Three days earlier, when the Western Extreme Royal City was breached, it hardly required any effort.

Some of the Demon Nobles inside the city instantly switched sides and disarmed themselves to submit—some even handed over other hardliner rebels or killed them.

For these turncoats, Selena readily accepted them, then immediately ‘tied up’ the group of Demonkin.

Thinking of rebelling now?

Too late!

Thus, within the sealed Western Extreme Royal City, continuous unrest began.

Those violent joys were doomed to a violent end.

Just as the high-ranking Demon Clan had suppressed the common demons, the retaliation of the demons now was equally terrifying.

Even Yi Chen could not contain the fury of the Demon Righteous Church and the lower-class demons.

For a time, the bones of ministers were trampled on Heaven Street, and the Inner Treasury was burnt to beautiful ashes.

The offspring of many Demon Nobles were tortured daily, subjected to sky lanterns, and interrogated about the treasures hidden within and outside the Royal City by the Demon Nobles.

Amidst the curses of countless Demon Nobles, after Yi Chen had ‘Holy Judged’ the last batch of Demon Noble masters, he looked at the thousands of streams of information that emerged before him, and he couldn’t help but smile, his grin harder to suppress than even ‘ak.’

These Demon Nobles might not have impressive Cultivation, but they sure were valuable.

After three days of ‘Holy Judgment,’ he had earned another forty million Deep Red Points.

Just one month after his breakthrough, Yi Chengzi achieved the ‘Abundant Wealth’ accomplishment once again.

“I knew it, this trip to the Demon Realm was the right call.”

“Praise the Blood Dragon Demon Marshal!

When I return, I’ll find someone to strike the wooden fish for three days to add to your merit!”

Above the Western Extreme Royal Palace, Yi Chen stood bravely against the wind, with an indescribable look in his eyes.

After the battle with the Western Extreme Demon Lord, he fully understood the limits of his strength.

One-on-one, without the aid of any Great Formation, he was confident that no Demon Lord could match him.

But governing a great country is like cooking a delicate dish; he still chose to simmer on a low heat in the Demon Realm, taking it slow.

The previous battle with the Western Extreme Demon Lord was just like that.

Just let him, Yi Chengzi, develop slowly a bit more, and when the time came, even if the Three Great Demon Lords thought to join forces against him, he would be able to completely annihilate them, leaving them no chance to flee.

The strength he displayed now should be giving the Three Great Demon Lords quite the headache.

Strong, but not so strong as to terrify them completely.

This game of scaremongering was now turning towards them to make a move.

He needed to try to control the intensity of the conflict, not to push the Demon Realm into a polarized confrontation all at once.

If his side, Yi Chengzi, could slow down, there would undoubtedly be countless frictions within the Three Great Demon Kingdoms.

This was the approach of boiling a frog in warm water, slicing the sausage slowly.

Time was now on Yi Chen’s side; he didn’t need to flip the table so soon, adding unnecessary variables.

While Yi Chen was lost in thought…

Swoosh!

The sound of space breaking.

Suddenly, a blue-haired young girl appeared behind Yi Chen.

“Selena, do you know what the art of rule is?” Yi Chen turned around and asked abruptly.

“Fairness!

Fairness!

And still, fairness!”

“Wrong!

Where is there any absolute fairness in this world?

As long as we can make the common demons of the Western Extreme Demon Nation live better than those of other Demon Nations, that’s enough.”

“It’s fairness that is compared!” Yi Chen said with a smile, his eyes twinkling with an inexplicable depth.

A glint flashed in Selena’s eyes; she knew the Holy Venerable was beginning to scheme again.

“I have a bill here; you go and issue it.

Without me, Jia Loulan, the Demon Realm would be forever like an eternal night.”
