Chapter 1426: The Eight Clans of Demon Realm
Chapter 1426: The Eight Clans of Demon Realm
Demon Palace.
This was the palace that the demons built specifically for Qin Fan after the establishment of the Demon Kingdom, but Qin Fan had only been here a few times.
But its symbolic significance is that it has the supreme status in the Demon Kingdom.
Because the demons admire the strong in their bones, and they desire the evolution of their own bloodline. From their birth as confused and ignorant red demons to their gradual recovery of sanity as orthodox demons, they maintain this bloodline class by instinct.
As the royal family was exposed, they learned that there was a more noble bloodline above the orthodox demon clan, so they began to explore the path to breakthrough.
However, the control of the royal blood by other races is extremely strict, and only the Heavenly Demon Kingdom has a standard contribution system, so that every demon has at least visible hope to enter a higher class.
Therefore, although Qin Fan often does not appear in the Demon Realm, his prestige is still at its peak.
Of course, this was all maintained silently by Yun Hongce in secret.
And today, the Heavenly Demon Palace welcomed a wave of guests who were qualified to enter for the first time.
"You said you invited us here, but in the end you left us here hanging. What does that mean?"
The one who spoke was the Dragon Demon King, who had a not-so-big-looking dragon wrapped around his waist. The characteristics of this race were rather strange, as they were divided into two parts: the dragons and their breeders. Only the strongest dragon paired with the strongest rider could become the only Dragon Demon King.
At this moment, he was the first to make such a not very polite statement, which did not surprise others.
After all, Qin Fan's history of making a fortune in the Far West Demon Realm was that he first stepped on the face of the Dragon Clan, and then stirred up the waters among the seven clans, causing them to fight to the death, and all striving to unify the Demon Realm in a short period of time.
Then point the sword at the human race.
But when they came to their senses from their trance, they found that the human race had become so powerful that they had no power to resist.
Moreover, the Demonic Clan that suddenly emerged among them was a force established by a human. During this period, the Demonic Clan used the resources and business channels of the Ghost Market to quietly launch an economic war against other ethnic groups, which the other party was not very good at.
This also resulted in the fact that among their seven tribes, except for the Yaksha tribe that was the first to approach Qin Fan, the other six tribes looked poor and weak.
His fighting power, which he had been proud of and was not too weak, was completely crushed after he witnessed the War in the Sky, the Red Sun of Sin, and the mysterious method that seemed to allow several Dharma Realm people to break through to the Heavenly Evolution Realm. His already weak resistance was completely shattered.
So rather than saying that the Dragon Demon King's remarks were somewhat provocative, it would be better to say that this was because he was facing an unpredictable future and, after feeling panic, he deliberately displayed his cowardice.
"Then, little snake, do you want to leave early?" It was King Garuda who sneered mercilessly.
They are naturally hostile to the dragon clan, and rely on preying on immature dragons to strengthen themselves, but this method of rapidly becoming stronger will cause them to accumulate too much evil spirit and poison in their bodies.
Those who eat it will soon be poisoned and burn to death.
However, the demons have an overly persistent pursuit of becoming stronger, which not only causes them to make enemies with the dragon demons who are also royal families, but also causes them to fall into a vicious circle.
Until unexpectedly, King Garuda discovered that the Sky Demon Clan, a royal blood clan created by the human race but unexpectedly able to be on par with the human race, possessed racial characteristics that could suppress the negative effects of evil spirits and poison.
This made it begin to become closer and closer to the Demonic Kingdom.
However, as the leader of a clan, he is unable to make up his mind to become the second Long Ming.
Originally, he wanted to delay for a while before making a decision, but who could have imagined that in just a few months, the Ghost Market, whose overall strength was originally weaker than the combined strength of the seven clans, suddenly became so strong that it was almost inhumane.
This also means that now it is not him who makes the choice, but the other party who arranges his fate.
However, due to the characteristics of the Sky Demon Clan, he is probably the one who is most accepting of any subsequent results.
Apart from the Yaksha tribe, they are also the tribe with the highest innate loyalty to Qin Fan.
"Well, if you two continue talking, we will definitely start quarreling again. This is not a good thing for the host who invited us here, or for some of the consequences that may happen next."
It was the Gandharva King who was comforting him with this increasingly ethereal yet cold voice.
This race is the best at illusions and the most emotional in the Demon Realm.
Its position is truly neutral. Although it has some ambitions, it is also sufficiently aware of the current situation.
Rather than fighting over territory or killing each other, this tribe is pursuing a unique artistic pursuit.
In the Demon Realm, not all demons are stubborn and reckless.
For example, King Kinnara who will speak next is one of the few people in the Demon Realm who uses his brains.
"Everyone, maybe we can't decide the future direction, but if we are united in our stance now, we can at least buy ourselves some opportunities."
Then he looked at Long Ming, who had his eyes closed and rested the whole time.
“King Yaksha, you should understand that relying solely on the strength of your own race, you will not actually be able to gain much attention. Take for example those powerful human beings from the past two days. They were able to grow to be as strong as us in such a short period of time.
The so-called Tianyan realm is no longer a rare commodity.
Moreover, their potential is not limited to this. They also represent different factions. Regarding the rapid progress in combat power, I believe King Ashura has a lot of say. "
King Ashura, who is usually the most warlike and most worthy of the title of Mangzi, is now as quiet as a sculpture.
He just glanced at King Kinnara's words for three seconds, then snorted coldly and remained silent again.
The other party's words were correct. He had the most accurate comparison of the combat power of those human race warriors who had broken through to the Tianyan realm in the past two days. That was why he could feel the biggest gap.
Because he couldn't stand the torment of waiting for the sentencing time to decide his own fate, he rushed directly into the territory of the Demonic Kingdom in a fit of impulsiveness.
At first, he was beaten mercilessly.
The other side had to send out nearly ten Dharma Realm experts to defeat him in a draw.
Then, the rhythm of the battle became more and more weird.
The opponents were divided into two groups and began to fight in a round-robin battle against each other.
Then there was the sudden outbreak of Qiao Baxian, who was able to fight with him on equal terms in a short period of time.
Later, after Shui Niesheng and Huang Tiangui broke through the Tianyan realm first, he began to feel exhausted just dealing with one of them.
After Hei Shisan and Qiao Baxian successfully completed the breakthrough of Tianyan Realm yesterday, he became the punching bag fought over by four people. The other camp also played a one-on-one duel with martial ethics. Although he had excellent hearing and could hear the other side's negotiations, he was afraid that he would be beaten to death by two people if he was not careful.
At this point, King Asura was no longer angry.
After being beaten up in a round-the-clock battle and screaming in pain, even the most angry man would choose to reconcile with himself.
Therefore, his mind is now in a rare period of clarity. This state, which is similar to the sage mode, makes him feel so smart that even he feels scary.
For example, he heard something sarcastic in King Kinnara's words!
Normally, he wouldn't be so sharp!
King Kinnara remained calm despite King Asura's indifference. He then looked quietly at Long Ming who had already opened his eyes.
"Why? Do you think we can win some rights if we work together?"
"Humph!" The Dragon Demon King slammed the table, stood up and said, "Can he kill us all? Even if he can, our clansmen are extremely valuable treasures! Killing us will only lead to a deeper rift between the two sides. Is he going to massacre our seven clans in the Demon Realm later?
Even if he really kills them all!
Well, doing this just for the chance to speak for us is a bit too overbearing! "
There was silence.
Long Ming rolled his eyes. The hell was he going to slaughter the seven tribes of the Demon Realm? Why did his Yaksha tribe take sides so early? At the very least, it would never have come to this. Moreover, he was aware of the key issue that he had discussed with Yun Hongce not long ago.
As long as all the kings in front of them choose to cooperate, even though they will sacrifice something, they will be able to gain more trust and value.
But
The Dragon Demon King's words sounded arrogant and cowardly, but they were full of determination to fight against stones with an egg.
Therefore, he was not sure whether these crazy people would really do something overly stubborn after knowing Qin Fan's plan.
Then he sighed softly and closed his eyes again.
These discussions today seem meaningless to him.
If the alliance proposed by King Kinnara had taken place a few months ago, it would indeed have been possible to gain greater autonomy, but the best opportunity was to take the initiative to surrender before the Ghost Market grew to its current size.
Even he, who was praised as the wisest Yaksha King in history, had to think for a long time and even went through waves of tentative exchanges before he made up his mind.
Other ethnic groups are unable to foresee the future far enough, and have no determination to invest and place bets in advance like them. How could they choose to bow down before the other party becomes strong?
After all, this hypothetical opportunity does not exist.
He understood too well the rebelliousness of these royal families.
At this moment, he could still hear some words in response to the dragon demon kings.
"That's a good analysis. With this invitation, there is no possibility that they will really kill us all."
"It can't be said that it's a wrong move to temporarily unite, fight appropriately, and test the other side's bottom line."
"It is said that the other party is easy to talk to, and the demons will only truly submit to their own tribe. The case of the Sky Demons is an exception. Even if they kill us all, their identity as a human race will not make the members of the same royal family bow their heads."
"Then let's try it next?"
"Let's try. No matter how powerful he is, he can't make our royal family exterminate."
Then Long Ming opened his eyes helplessly again, because as the scene became quiet, he found that everyone's eyes were fixed on him, including King Garuda, who was naturally inclined towards the Demon Kingdom. When it came to practical benefits, he also wanted to gain more.
There is no doubt that turning to Qin Fan is the only outcome now.
In this process, it is the responsibility of the tribe leader to appropriately strive for greater freedom and power for the tribe.
Therefore, to a certain extent, he would not object to the ideas of the demon kings present.
Next, the only exception is Long Ming.
The other party is too tightly bound to the Ghost Market, and because he joined early, there is a natural gap in status between him and other demon kings.
At this moment, the alliance proposed by King Kinnara may be intended to bring them back to the same starting line. The deeper calculations are extremely vicious.
Long Ming chose to join in, and he definitely lost points for surrendering early. If he parted ways with other royal families, then his Yaksha clan would not be able to become a faction that can be taken seriously in today's Ghost Market.
In the future, he will lack the most powerful natural ally.
Is it to sacrifice past efforts or give up future help?
This choice is extremely disadvantageous for both Long Ming and the Yaksha clan.
"Not good~" Rakshasa King, who had been relatively silent throughout and had a good relationship with Long Ming, suddenly chuckled.
If the Kinnaras and Gandharvas are the rare groups among the royal family that can use their brains, then the Rakshasas are even better in this regard. It's just that their behavior is not in a kingly way. To describe it in one word, it's treacherous.
Asuras are reckless, Rakshasas are treacherous, and Yakshas are extreme.
This is the biggest characteristic of the three tribes.
However, at this moment on the field, the most reckless Ashura King was the most low-key.
The Rakshasa King, who was the most adept at planning but also the most sinister and treacherous, chose to go with the flow.
The extremely perfectionist and extreme Yaksha King suddenly chuckled.
He did not make a choice, and no one else asked any more questions, because Yun Hongce's figure suddenly appeared in the hall.
In stark contrast to his usual confident and calm demeanor as if he could easily break anything, there was a deep sadness between his brows, so much so that when he saw the demon kings whom he had imagined as his biggest enemies in the past, he did not choose to hide it.
In other words, the prerequisite for its existence is to win his attention.
Obviously, the demon kings in front of him are no longer qualified.
The only one who could see this clearly was the Rakshasa King, who was the best at guessing people's minds and had a lot of bad intentions. He quietly put down his crossed legs and sat more upright. He was the only one who could hear his own heartbeat like a drum.
A very bad feeling came over me.
"Is it really okay for you to openly talk about your alliance plan in the Heavenly Demon Palace?" Yun Hongce sighed, looking at everyone with more pity, "I can probably guess that this is a test.
But when did our demon race start to use their brains like this? "
King Rakshasa held his breath again. He quietly looked at King Kinnara, whose eyes flashed with pride. This plan was proposed by the other party. This group would also be divided into a master and a servant, and it would start when they deliberately kicked out Long Ming, the most threatening opponent.
His purpose was already clear.
This low-key demon king also knows how to turn danger into opportunity.
just
"Military Advisor Yun, I wonder when His Excellency the Heavenly Demon King will..."
Just as King Kinnara stood up and spoke on his own initiative as the representative of the seven tribes, a figure appeared behind him and crushed his head.
The exploding blood and brain matter mixed with the howls of panic that were stopped just as they opened their mouths, and a poem was rang out, followed by the sound of the Demon King's headless body falling to the ground, causing the entire Demon Palace to shake.
[The Nine Netherworlds’ beacon fires burn the sky, the Ten Thousand Tribulations Thunder Pool refines the map of hegemony.]
Ask the vast earth, who controls the rise and fall?
The bloody flag shakes the world and the ghosts and gods cry! 】(End of this chapter)
