Chapter 243 : Regime Change
The Light Beast King and Gold Beast King both defected, declaring their resolve to stand with the cultivators. The ruling authority of the Fire Domain was also taken by Mu Changqing. The Black Dragon led a vast army of demon beasts to encircle and attack, surrounding the entire Central Domain without any gaps.
The Wood Beast King, having a good relationship with the Light Beast King, expressed neutrality, unwilling to become enemies.
Two other Beast Kings were framed by the Demon Emperor and his loyal subordinates during this pursuit. After being persuaded by Chu Sang, they were determined to completely turn against the Demon Emperor. Once they defected, there was absolutely no going back. The Demon Emperor would not tolerate Beast Kings who betrayed him to continue existing in the world. The revolutionary friendship of the rebel army remained relatively stable.
More than half of the demon race's army had been won over.
Both sides faced off, tensions high.
Gu Chang'an had also returned, blood still dripping from his sword. He had slain the Thunder Beast King. The intimidating pressure of a peak late Divine Transformation stage sword cultivator bore down, further weakening the momentum of the demon beasts present. Seeing the Demon Emperor's increasingly unsightly expression, Chu Sang twisted the knife further, "Do you see? Besides more than half the demon realm, we also have the entire cultivation world behind us!"
With more than half the demon realm and the cultivation world as backing, compared to the Demon Emperor whose Beast Kings under him were either dead or injured, with few people left.
"How about a change of dynasty?" she sincerely proposed, while glancing at the figure hiding beside the Demon Emperor. There was no need to guess who it was. Previously making bold statements, now cowering and not daring to utter a word, showing none of the previous arrogant air when making threats.
She pointed, quite shamelessly saying, "If the Demon Emperor is willing to make a deal with us, it's not impossible to negotiate. Just hand over the traitor, and we can continue to be friends."
The Demon Emperor's face became extremely unsightly, the contemptuous look completely gone from his face. His eyes smoldered with anger as he gritted out, "Ignorant and arrogant!"
Who the hell was her friend?
What audacity!
Qin Xixue, hiding under a cloak, paled slightly, afraid the Demon Emperor would really hand her over. The cultivation world showed no tolerance for traitors... Having betrayed the cultivation world, if she were truly handed over, she dared not imagine her fate.
Fortunately, the Demon Emperor had no intention of handing her over. He said in a deep voice, "Where is the Shadow Beast King?"
The Shadow Beast King was his most loyal subordinate, also his most capable right-hand man.
Qin Xixue bit her lip, not daring to speak. Under the Demon Emperor's intensely oppressive gaze, she finally lowered her head and timidly said, "He was... was killed by them......"
The remaining great Beast Kings were simultaneously shocked, their hearts instantly chilling... How was this possible? The strongest among these human cultivators was merely at the late Divine Transformation stage at most, with most being at the Golden Core stage. How could they have slain the Shadow Beast King, the strongest among them? Could they really be that formidable? Wouldn't the remaining Beast Kings like themselves only be cannon fodder??
The remaining Beast Kings harbored hidden thoughts. Seeing the situation gradually slipping out of control, the Demon Emperor simply stopped pretending. He revealed his full strength, the pressure of the Unity stage fully exposed, bearing down—
Chu Sang's eyes showed slight surprise. She hadn't expected the Demon Emperor's strength to recover to the Unity stage so quickly.
It seemed the previous rumors about the Demon Emperor's decline were somewhat suspicious, likely deliberately spread to stir up trouble. Most probably, the Demon Emperor intentionally released news of his severe injury to lure out those subordinate Beast Kings who already harbored ill intentions.
However, the Demon Emperor's previous severe injury recovering to the Unity stage in less than a year was also quite suspicious.
Chu Sang had reason to suspect Qin Xixue's involvement. She had previously helped Yan Wangxing recover his strength. It seemed she still had a stock of heaven-grade recovery pills on hand.
Tsk, when the son was sacrificed, she turned to the father. Qin Xixue had indeed played her cards well, not missing any opportunity to exploit...
