Chapter 1042: Chapter 1040: You Think We Don’t Know?_1
Hearing this, Yang Chen’s heart skipped a beat. Others might not know what wicked thoughts the Demon Slaying Emperor had, but how could he not be clear about them? The Demon Slaying Emperor and Lin Xi were most likely in cahoots.
Considering what Emperor Shi Neng said now, Yang Chen felt even more certain about his suspicions.
On the surface, the Demon Slaying Emperor was both slaying demons and capturing the Giant Strength Demon, achieving many great deeds that upheld the dignity of humanity. But upon careful thought, how come no others could find even a single Forbidden Demon, but he alone had this ability?
The Demon Slaying Emperor was trying to mask his true identity through various means!
Thinking of this, Yang Chen couldn’t help but glance at the Demon Slaying Emperor, then lowered his voice and said, “Emperor Shi Neng, about the… just now, when the junior exposed Lin Xi’s true identity, don’t you think there might be something fishy apart from Lin Xi?”
It took quite a bit of courage for Yang Chen to say these words, as someone of his junior level had no right to discuss matters concerning Emperor-level figures. Although Bai Wei was present, Yang Chen still didn’t feel completely at ease. He couldn’t guarantee that one person’s power could completely expose the Demon Slaying Emperor’s true form.
Emperor Shi Neng, with a smile that didn’t look like a smile, said, “You mean the Demon Slaying Emperor, right?”
Initially, Yang Chen was somewhat worried, but when he heard Emperor Shi Neng bluntly mentioning the Demon Slaying Emperor, he momentarily thought he was overthinking. The Emperors had their reasons for being, living for so long and ensuring their own people’s prosperity.
Seeing Emperor Shi Neng’s appearance, it seemed that he had known all along.
Emperor Shi Neng spoke slowly, “Young friend Yang, do you think we would be so foolish as not to notice that there’s something wrong with the Demon Slaying Emperor?”
“The junior was overly worried,” Yang Chen said.
“It’s good that you have such concerns. In fact, I, Emperor Jue Ming, and the three Emperors of the Bai Family have little communication. But we only need to look at each other’s eyes to know what we mean. Do you feel that if you sense something fishy about the Demon Slaying Emperor, you must act now? What’s the point of acting now? It will only make things worse, creating a chaotic scene within our ranks even before we start fighting the Forbidden Demons. Even if the Demon Slaying Emperor is defeated and disgraced, everyone’s morale will be shaken, and the news of internal strife will spread. What good would that do for our Human Race Alliance? Isn’t it just inviting the Prohibition Demon Clan to take advantage of our weakened state?” Emperor Shi Neng said.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but realize his mistake and laughed, “Emperor Senior’s foresight is truly profound, the junior still has much to learn.”
The other party was right. Even if they suspected that the Demon Slaying Emperor was hiding something, taking rash actions wouldn’t benefit anyone.
“So how should we deal with the Demon Slaying Emperor?” Yang Chen asked.
“Stabilize the situation and wait for the right opportunity,” Emperor Shi Neng said.
“Stabilize? How?” Yang Chen was puzzled.
Emperor Shi Neng chuckled, “Just watch, and you’ll see how.”
Yang Chen couldn’t help but look and found that Emperor Jue Ming and the Demon Slaying Emperor sat together like close brothers, chatting happily. It was clear what was going on now.
He clasped his hands and said, “The junior understands.”
As it turned out, these Emperor-level experts had long contemplated such matters, and they did so without making any overt moves. It was truly terrifying.
Emperor Shi Neng rubbed his chin, “Alright, let’s get back to the topic at hand. Before solving other issues, let’s first consider how to defeat this Giant Strength Demon. After all, whoever defeats him will win this competition!”
The implication of his words was clear. The Donghuang Sect had already won one competition, and if they won another, they would truly become the Alliance Leader.
By that time, no one would dare to defy their reign.
Yang Chen looked at the Giant Strength Demon on the stage, his hands behind his back and his expression serious. He guessed that the Demon Slaying Emperor initially had a good plan, wanting to use Lin Xi and then somehow create the illusion of defeating the Giant Strength Demon. In this way, the Demon Slaying Emperor would have gained the rights to the Alliance Leader position.
If the position of Alliance Leader was taken away by someone with hidden motives before the battle against the Forbidden Demon Clan even started, that would be truly terrifying.
After thinking it over, Yang Chen said, “Emperor Senior, the Giant Strength Demon’s strength, speed, and other aspects are all quite perfect. There’s almost no weakness. If I must mention a weakness, the Forbidden Demons of the Prohibition Demon Clan share a common one, as far as I know.”
“Oh? Tell me!” Emperor Shi Neng asked with curiosity.
Yang Chen said, “This weakness lies in their dual horns. The moment any Forbidden Demon of the Prohibition Demon Clan has a problem with its dual horns, its strength is immediately greatly reduced. However… ”
“What’s the ‘however’?” Ye Xu couldn’t help but interject.
“However, every Forbidden Demon will do its utmost to protect its dual horns. So, unless you have absolute certainty, there’s no need to deliberately target a Forbidden Demon’s dual horns, as doing so might be counterproductive. It might not produce any good results,” Yang Chen explained.
These weaknesses were learned from the mind of the Red Shura Demon who initially disguised himself as a Silver Fox. However, the effect wasn’t significant, so Yang Chen didn’t use this strategy when he faced Lin Xi; instead, he relied on his own strength to win.
Emperor Shi Neng frowned, “Then what should we do? Is there really no way to defeat this Giant Strength Demon? So many people have come to my Dao Discussion Conference today, and yet, none of them can even defeat a single Giant Strength Demon?”
“Well, if you want to defeat it, I do have a method,” Yang Chen suddenly said.
“What method?” Emperor Shi Neng’s eyes lit up, as he didn’t expect Yang Chen to have a plan even when he couldn’t figure out any weaknesses of the Giant Strength Demon.
“This method is not simple, but it’s not difficult either. As long as someone can use their full strength, not to mention cutting off the Giant Strength Demon’s dual horns, as long as they can cause some injury to it, I will find a way to defeat the Giant Strength Demon!” Yang Chen said.
Hearing this, Emperor Shi Neng narrowed his eyes and looked at the Giant Strength Demon, asking earnestly, “Young friend Yang, are you sure? This Giant Strength Demon is at the peak of the Earth Martial Realm!”
“That’s why I need someone to help me. Of course, if they can defeat it alone, even better,” Yang Chen smiled and said.
“I understand. Ye Xu, gather the ten best Half-step Heavenly Martial Realm cultivators from our sect who haven’t participated in the challenges yet, and remember, the faster the better!” Emperor Shi Neng ordered.
Emperor Shi Neng’s orders were as heavy as Mount Tai, and Ye Xu didn’t dare to disobey. He quickly ran down and started giving instructions.
In less than half an hour, ten Half-step Heavenly Martial Realm experts were gathered by Ye Xu. It wasn’t too hard for a sect with the standards of the Donghuang Sect to find ten such experts.

Now, when the ten Half-step Heavenly Martial Realm experts appeared, they all looked panicked and flattered, looked at Emperor Shi Neng with great respect, and could not help but shout in reverence.
