The evil wind swept across the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, stirring up undercurrents, and the pressure came to the Xiangliu clan.
Clan leader Liu Cong was in a dilemma.
They definitely cannot retreat. There are so many eyes watching from the Ten Thousand Demons Country. If the Xiangliu clan dares to retreat the first step, there will be a second step, a third step, and even more.
The people of Wan Yao are simple and honest. The folks don't know what it means to help someone in need. They only know how to snatch the charcoal from the snow.
It's impossible to go in.
Former Demon King, Xiangliu Clan Leader, Xiangliu Number One Demon...
Liu Cong has too many labels on him and cannot afford to lose. He is afraid before the battle even begins, fearing that if he loses, he will drag his entire clan into the bottomless abyss.
Judging from one's own experience, if even he loses, the villagers will not only rush to take advantage of him, but will also add insult to injury and take advantage of the situation to rob him.
Liu Cong didn't think he could win. Kong Ji changed his usual low-key style and rode on the nine heads of the Xiangliu clan to attack crazily. It was obvious that he came prepared, and the mastermind behind the scenes was definitely not just the Gu Diao family.
"Who is it?"
A series of hideous faces flashed before Liu Cong's eyes, including the Phoenix, the Mirage Dragon, the Nine-tailed Fox, Luwu, Chongming, the Liehen, and the Kuiniu. The more he looked, the more similar they looked, and it seemed that each of them was a suspect.
After a moment, he stopped to think.
You can't think about it anymore. There are enemies everywhere. The Xiangliu clan is surrounded. If you think about it any further, the human race will come and get involved.
At this time, two secret letters arrived, one from Gu Diao King City and the other from Peacock City.
According to reports from spies planted by the Xiangliu clan, a team of envoys from the Gudiao clan set out from the royal city, with large and small carts carrying countless baggage. The Gudiao king's eldest sister Gu Mi led the team, wanting to commend Kong Ji for his outstanding contribution.
They beat drums and gongs along the way, making a lot of noise, as if they wanted the whole world to know about it.
At this moment, the envoy team has arrived at Peacock City, but Gu Mi's team did not stop and prepared to continue moving eastward.
"east?!"
Liu Cong looked gloomy. Kong Ji was not in Peacock City, so the team that wanted to reward him could only go east to Gaiyuan City, which was the territory of their Xiangliu clan.
The Gu Diao clan rewarded their meritorious officials on the territory of the Xiang Liu clan. What does that mean? Did they occupy Gaiyuan City and designate it as the territory of the Gu Diao clan
This is too much bullying of the monsters. The Xiangliu clan is really being treated as a soft persimmon!
Liu Cong's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he opened his mouth and spat out a picture of the Demon King. His expression changed several times, and finally he swallowed the picture back.
He closed his eyes for a moment, made a decision, and slowly moved his gaze towards the Demon King City.
The current Demon King is named Xiren, from the Xihen clan. Like 99% of the previous Demon Kings, his political achievements are not ideal. Not only have they failed to meet expectations, but even his decrees cannot leave the Demon King City.
The royal family members were very dissatisfied with him, and there were also many voices of opposition among the Xihen tribe. All of this showed that Xiren's throne was unstable and he was about to be driven off the throne by the royal family.
Liu Cong knew that Xie Ren was an ambitious demon king. After ascending to the top, he issued several decrees in succession. He had a tough attitude towards the human race and tried to divert the internal conflicts of the Ten Thousand Demons by creating foreign enemies, so as to subdue the emperor and eight kings for his own use.
It is a very good policy, and there is almost nothing wrong with it except that it cannot be implemented.
The One Emperor and Eight Kings, in addition to the Biehen Clan, were unwilling to go to the front line to fight against the human race and consume the manpower of their own clan. Instead, each family sent out an earth immortal and led three or five people in the fusion stage to show that they had participated.
In order to show their support for the new emperor, the Xihen clan gritted their teeth and dispatched more Mahayana demon kings to the front line, preparing to mobilize the enthusiasm of other royal families by earning war reparations.
They are just human beings. If they get serious, they can fight however they want.
It's of no use. First of all, the Phoenix clan is far away from the Great Wilderness. They have been idle for thousands of years and except for obeying the orders of the first Demon King, no member of the Phoenix clan has participated in the coronation ceremony of each Demon King since then.
In other words, there was not even a congratulatory message.
Secondly, as for the human race, Xie Ren miscalculated. Although the human cultivators may not be good at this or that, there are always a few who can do it.
In addition to the offensive and defensive alliance formed by the human race's northern border countries, there was also the Great Xia Holy Land mediating, giving money and people to meet all the needs of the Jingyue Kingdom. It was like a nail stuck in the front line, blocking the crazy offensive of the Xianhen tribe.
Outside, the human race is working together, inside, the Phoenix is taking the lead in pretending to be dead, and the seven royal families are following suit. Xie Ren is not the first generation Demon King, and he cannot build the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons by staying with this group of insects.
The description here of the human race working together is based on the perspective of the beast, and can also be said to be in a worse situation.
The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons was broken into ten parts, and it was in an extremely bad state.
As the current Demon King, Xie Ren's domestic affairs are in a mess, and his foreign affairs have caused his own people to suffer. His time in power is entering the countdown, and he will fall soon.
An ambitious Demon King would certainly not want to step down in disgrace. Liu Cong set his sights on Xie Ren, wrote a letter, cut off his head and turned into a clone, then rushed to the Demon King City with the letter.
Although using the name of the Demon King to justify himself cannot completely solve the hidden danger of Kong Ji, he can also uncover the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.
"I want to see what kind of person is willing to degenerate to the point of forming an alliance with the Gu Diao clan."
—
Peacock City.
With banners flying and the army marching in a mighty force, the baggage vehicles were three feet off the ground, heading eastward in a violent storm.
The envoy team stayed in Peacock City for a short time, left most of the baggage behind, and continued on the road. As Liu Cong guessed, the destination was Gaiyuan City.
Kong Ji had made great contributions in expanding the territory, so he should not only be rewarded handsomely, but also be given a grand ceremony and the scene must be set in motion.
Not only did Gu Xu move out two thousand flying feather armors from Gu Diao Royal City, he also asked his sister Gu Mi to lead the team personally.
The evil woman riding a winged beast at the front of the team is Gu Mi.
It has a wolf body, eagle claws, snake tail, and flying wings. It is over ten feet long and looks very majestic. It is a very attractive sight.
The species of the ferocious beast is unknown. Gu Mi has cultivated to the Mahayana stage and went to the outskirts of the Great Wilderness to seek excitement. He encountered a ferocious beast and fought for three days and three nights, and finally took it as a mount.
The fact that it can fight against a Mahayana cultivator in a duel shows that the beast has an extraordinary bloodline and is also a great demon.
But for some unknown reason, the IQ of this ferocious beast is very average. Its brain and cerebellum are not fully developed. It can only understand some simple commands and does not seem to be very smart.
Now let’s talk about Gu Mi.
The witch was wearing helmet and armor. Except for the red cloak that fluttered in the wind, her entire body was covered in black iron armor. Most of her features were not visible, and only half of her face could be seen.
Red lips, a beautiful nose, and a delicate chin that can be held up with one hand.
Her skin was white, so white that it was dazzling.
In Peacock City, monsters of all sizes were talking about it, looking at the departing team of messengers, saying that the world was going to change.
Those who were smart felt that the weather was going to change, and hurried home to stock up on swords, spears, and halberds; those who were not so smart were fooled by the smart ones and went home to store food.
"That must be the Gu Diao princess, she is so well covered."
"That's right, even a gentleman has to be on guard, you treat us as outsiders!"
"What's the use of showing it to you? Can you still subdue her?"
"I don't have that ability, but our Peacock King can. I just want to see what the future city lord's wife looks like."
"It's difficult. Our Peacock King... doesn't have the final say in the family."
“That’s right.”
Kong Ji stood behind the crowd, listening to the rumors and shaking his head in disdain. The little demon could have a baby if it wanted, so how could he understand the pain of fighting the demon king
He left the group of monsters and went to the Peacock King's Palace. He hadn't seen Nidan for a few days and suddenly missed him a little.
On that day, Kong Ji and Kong Ci were quarreling at home. Kong Ji refused to respond, so he ran away from home in shame and hid in his concubine's house.
Because of the rebellious eggs, it was not easy to be Kong Ji's concubine. Not only could she not marry into the family, but she also had to bring her own property. If he was not really good at fighting, no female fairy would be willing to lay eggs for him.
Kong Ji was so absorbed in spending time with his concubines that he turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside the window. He only ended his seclusion after three days.
It's been three days, it's time for Nidan to calm down a bit.
Kong Ji didn't take the sound of whining and chattering along the way seriously. The Gu Diao Princess was a lunatic, and visiting her was like visiting her grave. It would be a good thing to miss her.
but…
"Why did she bring so many baggage? To the east is the territory of the Xiangliu clan. Are they finally going to form an alliance?"
"Alright, I'll ask Yanxiu in a few days. Gu Mi is heading to Xiangliu King City with great fanfare, so she will definitely pass by Gaiyuan City."
Kong Ji looked uneasy, envious of the two tribes' ability to lay eggs, but he did not say anything. After arriving at the palace, he climbed over the wall into the backyard, looking like someone who had been secluded in his father's/husband's home for many days.
It's all in vain.
Nidan and his wife are not here.
Kong Ji had a rare moment of leisure in his busy life, so he ordered his servants to prepare wine and food for him to drink alone in the pavilion.
The servant was bewildered.
"What's wrong? Did something happen at home?" Kong Ji frowned, wondering what trouble Kong Ci had done again.
The good mood was gone in an instant.
"No, no..."
The servant didn't know where to start for a moment, so he thought about it and said, "My king, shouldn't you be in Gaiyuan City? Why did you suddenly return to the palace? If it is a reward from King Gu Diao, the city guards have already counted it and sent it all to the treasury."
What a mess
Kong Ji was confused, so he asked his servant to explain everything clearly, including building a distant city and giving rewards.
The servant said.
Kong Ji panicked.
His scalp went numb after hearing this, and he felt sick all over. He slammed the table and stood up: "Evil slave, is what you said true or false?"
"Your Majesty, the whole city, no, the entire Ten Thousand Monsters Nation knows about this, how can it be false?"
The servant trembled.
Kong Ji was also trembling. Seeing the servant's puzzled expression, he pretended to be calm and waved his hand, saying, "Go down. I just want to ask, in the entire Wan Yao Kingdom, is there anyone who doesn't know about my merits and reputation?"
The servant bowed and left, and Kong Ji whooshed into the void, flying towards Gaiyuan City covered in cold sweat.
The Peacock Demon King Kong Ji injured Yan Xiu, seized Gaiyuan City, and then defeated the Xiangliu clan elder Liu Xian, and captured hundreds of demon kings of all sizes, including more than ten Mahayana demon kings alone.
King Gu Diao was overjoyed and offered a generous reward. King Xiangliu had not yet expressed his opinion. The entire Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons was waiting for the show to begin.
Oh no, he became a substitute!
Kong Ji was sweating profusely. The image he had built up in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons for many years was ruined, but this was not the most terrifying thing. According to the servants, 'he' showed up in person and took away his wife and son.
Before leaving, the lady dressed up and looked happier than she had been in years.
You're going to die. Why are you laughing so happily? You must stay calm!
Kong Ji cried out in his heart, after so many days, everything that should and should not happen had enough time to happen.
There is also the unfilial son, who has a profound concept of the unity of man and nature, and has divine eyes and supernatural powers that can recognize the five elements and all things. Why didn't he see through the other party's disguise
Could it be that the unfilial son was the mastermind and found himself a new father
