"What exactly does Li Shang Sword Venerable want? Why not speak straightforwardly?"
After a mont of silence, the High Priest finally replied in a solemn voice.
Whether it’s the Thousand-Year Ice Cicada or the opportunity to cultivate in the Ice Spring, it is already the most fitting destiny for Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan’s cultivation, and it’s almost the utmost sincerity the Deserters can offer. If this is still not enough, it can only an that Jing Yuan has misjudged Qu Lishang’s true aim, or perhaps... Qu Lishang never intended to reconcile.
"Resources are already sufficient."
Shaking his head, Qu Lishang calmly replied, "But this is still not enough! As for what I want, didn’t I make it clear just now?"
"I ca to kill!"
"Hmm?"
Slightly startled, even if others didn’t fully understand, Jing Yuan imdiately grasped the point.
Indeed, Qu Lishang brought Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan along, genuinely intending to demand benefits from the Deserters. However, that was not enough, because not everyone could see these benefits!
This is rely profit, but for the Profound Moon Sword Sect, what is more important is reputation!
The Profound Moon Sword Sect had gradually declined, a feeling of sunset waning. Qu Lishang’s return was to reverse this situation.
Therefore, Qu Lishang deliberately ventured out of the Extre North Wilderness and made it well known, with the intention to establish dominance by the occasion!
If it ends quietly by just asking for so benefits? In the eyes of those unaware, wouldn’t that beco a joke instead?
Thus, Qu Lishang truly ca to kill, and not ordinary people, but to slay a Saint!
Only by slaying a Saint can it bring the maximum shock, and furthermore, weaken the Deserters and Demon Race’s strength, exchanging a more relaxed external environnt for the Profound Moon Sword Sect to rejuvenate.
Upon understanding this, a sense of powerlessness suddenly arose in Jing Yuan’s heart.
Previously, Jing Yuan was almost like a strategist without limits, able to find ways to turn situations to maximize benefits for the Deserters, no matter the circumstances.
But until this mont facing Qu Lishang, Jing Yuan clearly realized that in the face of absolute power, any sche becos aningless.
To contend with a powerhouse like Qu Lishang, only by possessing strong strength can one have the qualification for equal dialogue.
"The Deserters are willing to cooperate with Li Shang Sword Venerable... to slay the Demon King!"
Silent for nearly a hundred breaths, Jing Yuan finally spoke with difficulty.
"???"
This sentence stunned everyone present!
The relationship between the Deserters and the Demon Tribe had always been extrely close, almost inseparable to so extent. After all, Deserters are those truly willing to intermarry with the Demon Tribe, and many Deserters even have a portion of Demon Tribe blood flowing in them, which is also why the Deserters usually have extraordinarily strong physiques.
But now, Jing Yuan has directly sold out the Black Mountain Demon King, is this madness?
Qu Lishang’s eyes revealed a hint of appreciation and couldn’t help but praise; it was already difficult enough for Jing Yuan to guess his thoughts. More importantly, to make such a nearly self-severing decision in such a short ti was truly terrifying.
"Jing Yuan, are you mad?!"
Fear flashed in the eyes of the Black Mountain Demon King, incredulously staring at Jing Yuan and the High Priest, questioning, "High Priest, do you just allow him to speak such nonsense?"
"Do you even know what you’re doing? Kill this king, and the Demon Tribe will break with the Deserters. By then... what will you use to resist the Human Race?"
"The Demon King exaggerates... You may be esteed as a Demon King, but you do not represent the Demon Tribe!"
A trace of complexity flashed in Jing Yuan’s eyes, but when he looked up, his expression beca indifferent and ruthless: "I swear in the na of the Divine Court, this matter... ends with the fall of the Demon King. If the Profound Moon Sword Sect dares to target other demon tribes, we Deserters will retaliate without sparing any cost, relentlessly!"
"!!!"
Currently, there are not only Deserters present but many of the Demon Tribe as well. Jing Yuan’s declaration to slay the Black Mountain Demon King indeed caused panic among the Demon Tribe.
But when Jing Yuan said these words, it instantly unsettled the hearts of the Demon Tribe present.
The Demon Tribe has never been a single entity. Even the Black Mountain Demon King rely relied on Saint Realm strength to forcibly gather the demon tribes of the Extre North Wilderness to follow his commands.
In truth, even internally, the Demon Tribe never lacks internal strife.
Now, in the face of the threat from Qu Lishang, if sacrificing a Black Mountain Demon King could avert danger, in truth... these Demon Tribe mbers didn’t care much!
Moreover, without the Black Mountain Demon King, other demon tribes would have the opportunity to vie for more resources and territory, and perhaps even birth a new Demon King.
As long as Qu Lishang and the Deserters weren’t targeting the entire Demon Tribe, they seed to have no reason to fight desperately alongside the Black Mountain Demon King.
"Who dares? Who among you dares?!"
Seemingly aware of the abnormality behind him among the demon tribes, the Black Mountain Demon King, in a state of terror, seed sowhat hysterical, shouting in despair.
"Black Mountain, you were defeated by my sword back then and promised never to step out of the Extre North Wilderness, that’s why you kept your life."
Gazing at the Black Mountain Demon King, Qu Lishang spoke faintly: "Since you dare to break that promise, this life, I shall naturally reclaim it."
"Rest assured, I will kill only you, and not involve other demon tribes!"
With this statent, it almost fully pronounced the death sentence of the Black Mountain Demon King.
"No, I am not wrong! It’s you who disappeared for over thirty years, who knew you were still alive!" The Black Mountain Demon King roared frantically, seemingly arguing for himself and trying to suppress the fear within.
"High Priest, you and I have been acquainted for many years, you cannot stand by and watch die!"
"If we join forces, we need not fear Qu Lishang. We must kill him... let’s join forces and kill him together!"
The Black Mountain Demon King was making a final struggle, but unfortunately, neither the High Priest nor Qu Lishang intended to entertain him.
The next mont, a brilliant sword light descended from the sky once more!
"Ahhh! This king does not concede!"
Amidst the angry roars, a terrifying demon qi surged around the Black Mountain Demon King, a dense blackness like ink covering the heavens, tenaciously resisting that sword light. However, no matter how desperately he resisted, he ultimately could not withstand that overwhelming Sword Intent.
Especially when the staff in the High Priest’s hand flew out, transforming into a silver dragon and crashing into the dark clouds, everything was already over.
This Divine Court High Priest hadn’t even struck with deadly force, rely slightly restraining the opponent, at most expressing an attitude.
But does Qu Lishang need anyone’s help to slay the Black Mountain Demon King?
The moon-white sword radiance reflected the heavens and earth, shattering the sky full of dark clouds, leaving only a black python falling heavily from the sky...
