Supreme Warrior in the City
Chapter 2490: Crisis of the Jinghong Saint King
However, the silence of the Demon Beast Clan doesn't mean that they have admitted defeat completely.
On the contrary, the Demon Beast Clan has started to accelerate their cultivation speed, seemingly preparing to battle the Guardian God once more. And the most significant manifestation of this is the Demon Beast Clan speeding up their devouring of those worlds within their sphere of influence.
The Demon Beast Clan devours the Human Clan World to seize the Spiritual Source. The cultivation of the Demon Beast Clan requires Spiritual Source, all of which is obtained through this method. After all, there are no Spiritual Sources in the Endless Starry Sky, only the Human Clan World and Guardian Land contain Spiritual Sources, which is the main way for the Demon Beast Clan's cultivation.
The Demon Beast Clan does not dare to seize the Spiritual Source of the Demon Beast Dynasty, so they can only seize the Spiritual Source from the Human Clan, thus making it their only cultivation method.
Accelerating the devouring of the Human Clan World means accelerating the plundering of the Spiritual Source. Undoubtedly, after the last great battle, the Demon Beast Clan couldn't swallow their pride, accelerating cultivation, clearly preparing to fight the Guardian God once again.
This situation turns out to be good news for Su Yang. He was worried that the Demon Beast Clan, having been completely defeated last time, would lose the courage to confront the Guardian God again. Now, finding out that the Demon Beast Clan still seeks revenge, it becomes easier for the Human Clan and Demon Beast Clan to unite.
At the same time, Su Yang inquired about the situation with the Guardian God's side.
After the last great battle, the Guardian God also fell into silence. Like before, they did not seize the opportunity to completely annihilate the Demon Beast Clan.
This, Su Yang could understand. Although the Guardian God won a great victory last time, they also paid a considerable price.
The Guardian God wants to fully control this world, but with their strength, to truly control this world, the cost is unacceptable to them. So, they seek to find Guardian Gods from other Great Worlds to aid them.
In short, after the last great battle, it's not that the Guardian God doesn't want to annihilate the Demon Beast Clan, but they are unwilling to pay the price. Therefore, they allowed the Nine Palace Main God to enter the Land of Chaos, preparing to seek help from Guardian Gods in other Great Worlds.
Moreover, Su Yang feels that these Guardian Gods clearly know the current actions of the Demon Beast Clan. However, they completely ignore it. Because if the Nine Palace Main God really finds support from Guardian Gods in other Great Worlds, then even if the Demon Beast Clan's strength increases tenfold or a hundredfold, what could they do?
Later, Su Yang focused on inquiring about the previous Heavenly War Alliance matters during the last great battle, described as a three-way melee. In fact, the Heavenly War Alliance was always on the losing side because their strength was too weak.
After the last great battle, the few core members left of the Heavenly War Alliance fled in panic, and there was little information about them from the Demon Beast Clan's side. They only know these individuals' general direction, but their exact whereabouts are unknown to the Demon Beast Clan.
Even the Guardian God's side doesn't know their exact whereabouts because, after the Heavenly War Alliance was reduced to only a few individuals, they posed no threat to any faction. Under such circumstances, no one would notice them.
This situation is most suitable for Su Yang. No one pays attention to these individuals; he can settle them and use their banner to reconstruct the Heavenly War Alliance without anyone caring.
However, locating these individuals is a troublesome matter. Although their general direction is known, finding them is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Su Yang, after learning about the general location, prepared to depart and casually inquired about Jinghong Saint King's news. After all, during his time in the Luan Yu Dynasty, Jinghong Saint King treated him well. Moreover, Jinghong Saint King, among the Demon Beast Clan, was one of the few who acted rationally and generously.
In the previous battles with the Guardian God, Jinghong Saint King contributed significantly.
Su Yang even considered that if Jinghong Saint King could lead the Demon Beast Clan, the Guardian God couldn't be as dominant as now. Furthermore, if Jinghong Saint King could become the Great Saint Emperor of the Demon Beast Clan, uniting the Human Clan and Demon Beast Clan could be much easier!
To his surprise, upon asking about Jinghong Saint King's situation, he received shocking news: Jinghong Saint King has been thrown into the Heavenly Prison and could face execution at any time! π§ππππΈπ¦π£πππ·ππ.π€π°π
This situation greatly puzzled Su Yang. Jinghong Saint King's status in the Luan Yu Dynasty was not low. Some of his disciples became Saint Kings, forming their own dynasties. Many Saint Kings in the Luan Yu Dynasty received his favor. Even Saint Emperor Luan Yu had a deep relationship with him, how could he end up like this?
After some inquiries, Su Yang finally understood what happened.
On the surface, Jinghong Saint King was captured due to the murder of another Saint King and needs to pay with his life. In truth, the matter stems from the Guardian God's side.
Earlier, Jinghong Saint King sparked the fury of the Demon Beast Clan, laying the groundwork for their later battle against the Guardian God. Coupled with Jinghong Saint King's continuous efforts in uniting the Demon Beast Clan to resist the Guardian God, after their defeat, the Guardian God wanted to eliminate this thorn.
Of course, the Guardian God could not order the Demon Beast Clan directly. So, the Guardian God devised a plan, framing Jinghong Saint King, provoking him to kill another Saint King. Afterwards, the Guardian God persuaded those beasts in the Demon Beast Clan who sided with them to accuse Jinghong Saint King of slaughtering his kin, forcing the Luan Yu Dynasty to punish Jinghong Saint King.
In truth, everyone knows clearly that Jinghong Saint King was framed. The problem is that Jinghong Saint King did indeed kill that Saint King, and if the Luan Yu Dynasty fails to punish him, the Demon Beast Dynasty beasts supporting the Guardian God will take advantage of the situation to trouble the Luan Yu Dynasty.
After the last defeat, the Great Saint Emperors have already issued orders for the Demon Beast Clan to temporarily lay low. In such circumstances, causing internal conflict due to one Saint King's case clearly disobeys the Great Saint Emperor's orders.
Thus, although Saint Emperor Luan Yu knows what happened, he has no choice but to imprison Jinghong Saint King in the Heavenly Prison. Yet, the Demon Beast Dynasty supporting the Guardian God remains unsatisfied, continually pressuring Saint Emperor Luan Yu to execute Jinghong Saint King.
