What good fortune could possibly be this generous!
The demons were skeptical.
The King of Chu must have some ulterior motive; perhaps he wanted to use them as cannon fodder.
Seeing the hesitancy among the demons, the King of Chu spoke again with a smile, “Gentlemen, you’re overthinking it. I have invited you to plan a great venture because inside the Guo Bei Academy, aside from Li Liuxian and his two companions, there are quite a few combatants.”
“Those who have sought refuge under his command and are considered the so-called righteous ones have, with the help of the Spirit Pills from Mingxiao Taoist Temple, broken through one after another. Now there are eighteen Demon Kings with pure mana, exceptional talents, and having been taught and guided by Li Liuxian, they have mastered the orthodox Divine Skills and possess remarkable combat abilities, not to be underestimated.”
“Furthermore, inside the Guo Bei Academy, there are nine major institutes. Apart from the medical, agricultural, industrial, and commercial institutes that aren’t skilled in combat, the Heaven Martial Institute, Shushan Sword Institute, Military General Institute, Dragon Chapter Talisman Institute, and Cycle Formation Institute – these five major institutes all have numerous disciples and should also not be underestimated.”
“And the Mingxiao Taoist Temple, Yin Mountain Taoist Temple, along with their accomplices in crimes, Mana Bright Temple and Qingping Taoist Temple, have also fostered many Taoists, Buddhists, and the Chaotic Generals and Soldiers, among whom are plenty of Real Man Magicians, Ghost Kings, and Ghost Generals, constituting a significant problem.”
“Lastly, Guo Bei, a county cultivated for many years, is layered with formations, fueled by an ocean of Cultural Qi and thriving incense offerings, concealing untold dangers. If they trigger their formations, add the reinforcement of their Mana Altar, and rally the Taoist support, committing life and limb, even we might find it difficult to suppress them in the short term.”
“So…”
The King of Chu turned his gaze towards the assembly of Demon Kings.
“Soldier against soldier, general against general, Master Xunlong and his fellows will hold off Li Liuxian and his two companions, while you join me in raiding the Guo Bei Academy. Everyone will use their skills to clear out the academy’s disciples, destroy Guo Bei’s formations, and it would be best if we could breach the central hub of the academy along with several major Taoist Temples.”
“Once the hub is breached, and the Taoist Temples are destroyed, those three individuals led by Li Liuxian will no longer pose a threat, and Master Xunlong and the others will certainly be able to slay them.”
“At that time, the land of Guo Bei, with its million souls, will be our sustenance, free for us to feast upon!”
The King of Chu split open his gaping maw, “Such a grand prospect, would you all like to share in this bounty with me?”
“This…”
The demons exchanged glances, clearly tempted.
But a few of the Old Demons remained rational: “The thoughts of the King of Chu are indeed good, but if all of us leave the Northern Territory and launch an assault on Guo Bei, such a huge commotion will not go unnoticed by the followers of Taoism, will it?”
“Indeed, it’s said that Shi Jian has cultivated the Spirit Eyes Mysterious Light technique, which can divine information about anything between the heavens and the earth, ghosts, gods, and all six paths of the Three Realms. With such a grand movement from us, how could we possibly escape his eyes?”
“He might even be watching us right now!”
“If he seeks help from Taoism and they send a few True Monarchs to lie in wait with formations set, wouldn’t we be walking right into a trap?”
“Right now, in Jinhua Mansion, right next to Guo Bei, there is a True Monarch of Taoism commanding over a dozen True Men suppressing the Orchid Ghost Realm. If Guo Bei is in danger, he will surely take action to help, not to mention the various Taoist Temples and Buddhist Temples throughout Jiangzhe…”
The words of the few Old Demons were like a splash of cold water waking up the excited Demon Kings.
The King of Chu, however, was unconcerned and said with a light smile, “Gentlemen, rest assured, if I take action, I am confident of success.”
With that, he took something out of his sleeve. It was a lifelike golden dragon.
The Golden Dragon Treasure Ship!
Its dragon might dissipated in an instant, startling the demons, making their hearts skip a beat, almost causing them to kneel and cower.
“Is this…”
“Dragon Molting?”
“Exactly, it is the Dragon Molting!”
The King of Chu smiled faintly, “This is a relic from ancient times, part of a True Dragon’s molting. Our predecessors of the Demon Race refined it with great magic to obtain this treasure, capable of concealing thousands of demons. With this cover, the various Taoist sects will not detect us.”
“As for the technique of Spirit Eyes Mysterious Light, what, do you think that Shi Jian, a mere Real Man Magician of Taoism, could pry into the affairs of several Demon Emperors?”
“This matter is sure to deceive the heavens and cross the sea, achieving success swiftly!”
“Now, it’s up to you whether you wish to join in this grand endeavor!
Listening to the King of Chu and seeing the treasure ship made from the True Dragon’s molt in his hands, as well as the many temptations of the Guo Bei Academy, the nature of the demons, ultimately, could not hold out.
“We are willing to go through fire and water for the King of Chu!!!”
