850: Chapter 478: Gyalou Lan, have you lost your mind?
Without the Southern Extreme Demon Lord, how can we possibly contend…

“No!
No matter how the King or Jia Loulan try to persuade me, even if it costs me my life, I will never, ever yield!”
Suddenly feeling a tremor in his body as a flicker of hesitation flashed through his heart, the Tailless Tiger Demon clenched its molars tightly, its already swift pace inadvertently quickening by a third.
At the end of the corridor lay a hidden one-time Magic Formation for transmission.
Turning around with a funeral face, the Tailless Tiger Demon said to Yi Chen, “Holy Venerable, the place where the King awaits is just ahead.”
“I am of low strength and humble status, so I will not accompany you further on the path.”
“Please go ahead~”
As if the words burned his mouth, Tiger Slayer let out a burst of words like a machine gun and immediately made a very rude exit, tucking his tail between his legs.
Watching him, Yi Chen became extremely angry, unable to help but glare fiercely once again at the Tailless Tiger Demon leading the way.
“Damn your acting, can you get sentenced for a few years for speaking slowly in the Southern Pole Demon Nation?!”
What he didn’t know was that his surreptitious glare made Tiger Slayer, who was born with exceptional Spiritual Sense and acute sensitivity, even more frightened.
Upon reaching the corner of the corridor, Tiger Slayer howled and revealed its true form, darting out of the corridor in an instant.
It swore to Demon Heaven, it had never performed above its level like it did today, fleeing at incredible speed.
Southern Polar Royal City, the ancestral land of the Demon Tiger Clan.
A grey barrier loomed like an inverted bowl, tightly enclosing a vast expanse of land within it.
At this moment, a fierce Demon Tiger stood in front of it, with a Demonkin beauty whose white, flawless wings gleamed beside it.
With her multicolored hair cascading like a waterfall down to her buttocks, barely stirring, and with the exception of the four pairs of white wings sprouting from her back, the other parts of her body were indistinguishable from a member of the Human Race.
The Heavenly Wind blew, causing tree shadows to dance and fluttering her gauze skirt slightly behind her, revealing a slice of pale ankle and a section of jade leg beneath the skirt.
“Beiji Demon Lord, do you think Jia Loulan would dare to attend this grand feast I have organized?” the Southern Extreme Demon Lord asked with a smirk, pouring himself a bowl of strong liquor as he sat cross-legged.
“So you deliberately arranged a Transmission Formation for him, instead of personally welcoming him here?”
A fleeting and inscrutable sneer appeared in the eyes of the Beiji Demon Lord, but his face remained pleasantly smiling as he spoke.
“Indeed, after all, we, the Three Great Demon Kingdoms, joined forces to fight that Old Demon Dragon.
It’s the Fifth Realm we’re talking about, the Realm we’ve all dreamed of.
We’ve tasted the flavors and conveniences of power, life and death, freedom, and ease.
Jia Loulan, however, has not held power for long, and there’s no guarantee this fellow won’t fancy becoming a wealthy landlord, throwing in his lot with the Old Demon Dragon.
My actions today are also a test of this fellow’s courage.”
“I want to see just how courageous Holy Venerable Jia Loulan, who has accomplished great deeds silently but astonishingly in such a short time, truly is.
In this battle, we, the Three Great Demon Lords, must unite as one.
If this fellow is a weakling, there’s no guarantee he won’t be defeated one by one by that cunning Old Demon Dragon!”
The Southern Extreme Demon Lord downed the liquor in his cup in one gulp and immediately said with triumphant pride.
“Eh, Tiger Demon, sometimes I wonder how your mind can be so bright at times and so dim at others.”
“Hehe, the two of us Demon Lords actually have a choice, but Jia Loulan really doesn’t.
The ‘Fair Demon Code’ he created is endlessly harmful; as long as he lives, the Demon Realm’s commoners will always hold on to hope.”
“They even think their Holy Venerable Jia Loulan is only making temporary concessions, bearing humiliation and biding time, groveling in appeasement.
As long as this spark of rebellion remains unextinguished, the Demon Realm will never know peace.”
“Do you think with Jia Loulan’s terrifying talent, he can sleep peacefully with such a person cultivating by his side?”
“Jia Loulan, a creator of miracles, for thirty thousand years past and yet to come, no Demonkin could compare to him.
I have meticulously studied the methods he has used since his rise to power.
His mercilessness, sinister intentions, and profound schemes are enough to send shivers down my spine.”
“Even after he replaced the Western Extreme Demon Country, he did not indulge in extravagance or lust, which shows the extent of Jia Loulan’s ambition.”
“He is a born Demon.
The ‘fairness’ preached by the Demon Righteous Church is actually not a lie from Jia Loulan; it’s just that this fairness stipulates it be under Jia Loulan’s rule.
He intended to use this concept to replace our aristocratic system, which we’ve passed down for countless years, and be like the current Eastern Extreme Demon Lord, to become the one and only king of the Demon Realm, the true Demon Emperor!”
“If it weren’t for the pressing circumstances we find ourselves in, I would actually not want to join hands with this demon at all, even with Old Demon Dragon, I can guess his intentions to a considerable extent.
Yet, regarding Jia Loulan, I can’t even understand what he truly desires,”
At this point, the Beiji Demon Lord’s rainbow-colored hair floated slightly, and she unabashedly allowed a mocking expression to surface on her face, “Tiger Demon, you’re still worried that Jia Loulan’s resolve isn’t strong, that it might lead to our alliance crumbling to pieces.
Why do you think I sought you out to join forces first instead of communicating with Jia Loulan?”
“Compared to Jia Loulan, I was actually more afraid that you, the Southern Pole Demon Lord, would get cold feet.
Jia Loulan had no other choice.”
“Tiger Demon, can you hold back some of your cleverness and not act on your own?
At this moment, we three great Demon Lords must have a high degree of mutual trust.
If we cause Jia Loulan to harbor reservations, it could spoil everything,”
Perhaps feeling that her words had wounded the Tiger Demon too harshly, the Beiji Demon Lord toned down the mocking look on her pretty face, sighing with resignation.
Lies don’t hurt people; it’s the truth that cuts like a swift knife.
The Southern Pole Demon Lord was taken aback upon hearing this.
He first stood up in anger, intending to retort, but the words got stuck in his throat and he eventually sat down, defeated, saying:
“You’re right, Beiji.”
“I will immediately send a message to Tiger Slayer to halt, and I will personally go to welcome Holy Venerable Jia Loulan.”
The Southern Pole Demon Lord was never known for his wisdom but rather as a Demon Lord who maintained his position.
Even his arsenal of divine power magic was primarily defensive, for he was the terrifying individual who had once made Yue Qingping crazily scratch until her scalp was numb.
For a sword cultivator with assault divine power, achieving this was enough for the Southern Pole Demon Lord to be proud of.
If Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf had been the one to face Yue Qingping instead of me, he wouldn’t even have needed Yi Chen to steal the crystal; the Western Extreme Demon Lord would have had to flee on his own accord.
But the Southern Pole Demon Lord had one incomparable advantage; he would listen to reason.
As long as you were right, he truly listened.
Among the Four Great Demon Kingdoms, it was only the Southern Pole Demon Lord who maintained the largest group of strategists.
All he had to do was pick a strategy that looked good to him; he never engaged in minutiae like ‘shifting a machine-gun position six meters.’
Of course, such an important matter as a secret meeting of the three great Demon Lords wouldn’t be divulged to his group of strategists.
Today’s ‘minutiae’ was a spur-of-the-moment decision to have his trusted Tiger Slayer handle the arrangements.
“Tiger Demon, there’s no need.
Jia Loulan is even more spirited than I imagined; he has already arrived,”
As the Southern Pole Demon Lord was about to use a shuttle-shaped demon weapon to send a message, a one-time message transmission formation that had been set up in the distance suddenly lit up with a black glow.
As the light faded and the formation crumbled, the imposing figure of a man appeared before the two great Demon Lords, his gaze domineering and his aura extraordinary.
Although they had already seen Yi Chen’s form many times through the Liuying Jade, it was only now, with the individual standing before the two great Demon Lords, that they truly felt the terrifying pressure emanating from him.
He was undoubtedly an extraordinary powerhouse among the demonkin.
His cultivation might even surpass that of Old Demon Dragon who had not yet broken through.
“I have arrived.
Jia Loulan greets the two great Demon Lords,”
Scanning his surroundings, a smile cracked at the corner of his mouth, and Yi Chen promptly saluted the two great Demon Lords with a bow.
The two great Demon Lords did the same.
They took their seats, poured wine, and exchanged pleasantries.
With a common enemy ahead, the three demons were as cordial as half-brothers from different fathers.
“By the way, Brother Tiger, is this place secure?
We are to practice the Joint Attack Formation, but could it be discovered by a spy from the Eastern Demon Kingdom?”
“Holy Venerable, rest assured, this formation is the Great Formation of my ancestral land.
Without my command, absolutely no outsider can enter or leave; you may be at ease,”
It was upon hearing this that Yi Chen finally let out a breath of relief.
“With that assurance, I am at ease.” 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
“The time is almost upon us, let us begin.”
Boom!
