Chapter 1462: Chapter 638: Lanling Slaps ng Tuoluo in the Face, Cold and Ruthless (Part 2)
“No!” ng Tuoluo said, “I begged Little Rakshasa King to spare your life and give you a chance to surrender.”
Lanling said nothing, because this was the truth.
In the eyes of the Little Rakshasa King, the existence of soone like Lanling was simply impossible. For him, ordering Nai Shu’s million-strong army to annihilate the Fla Demon Tribe and kill Lanling was just like an ancient Chinese emperor ordering the eradication of bandits on a mountain.
Even Princess Sha Yan forgets Lanling’s na ti and again, let alone Little Rakshasa King?
The territory Lanling currently occupies is at most forty or fifty thousand square kiloters, while the Rakshasa Royal Family governs nearly twenty million square kiloters, so…
For Little Rakshasa King, wiping out Lanling and the Fla Demon Tribe directly is the easiest course of action.
Surrender? Co on, that’s too much trouble!
If not for his fondness for ng Tuoluo, there wouldn’t even be talk of surrender.
Lanling said, “Then I am curious to know what terms Little Rakshasa King proposed?”
ng Tuoluo said, “First, disband the Fla Demon Tribe. This is Rakshasa’s territory, and the presence of a Close-Human Tribe is absolutely impossible.”
Great, this first condition already trampled on Lanling’s bottom line.
ng Tuoluo said, “The people of the Fla Demon Tribe can disperse into the thirteen tribes of the Silver Alliance. Little Rakshasa King can decree for the Silver Alliance to accept these Close-Human refugees.”
Lanling said, “And the second condition?”
ng Tuoluo said, “You can co with to Rakshasa City and beco a samurai of the royal family, and in the future, you could command an army of ten thousand!”
Lanling looked at ng Tuoluo for a long ti and said, “If I rember correctly, you are aware that I am the World-Ending Demon Emperor, the master of Yao Xing.”
ng Tuoluo said, “I know. I know more than you imagine.”
After a slight pause, ng Tuoluo said, “The so-called World-Ending Demon Emperor is nothing more than a gimmick created by the Dragon Temple. The so-called Yao Xing is just an energy lifeform temporarily released by the Dragon Emperor. Even the Dragon Emperor t his end; what significance does an energy puppet he released have? If you really were so World-Ending Demon Emperor, why were you so miserable in the Human Kingdom? The Dragon Temple didn’t even have to lift a finger to crush you and bring doom to your family?”
This string of sarcasm was truly…
ng Tuoluo said, “Suo Lun… oh no, Lanling! Don’t bla for speaking harshly, forget about the so-called World-Ending Demon Emperor, forget about the so-called master of Yao Xing, it’s all just a conspiracy gimmick of the Dragon Temple. May I ask what your current cultivation level is?”
Lanling spread his hands.
ng Tuoluo said, “May I ask how much territory you possess?”
Lanling continued to spread his hands.
ng Tuoluo said, “Your cultivation level isn’t even as high as mine. A single three-headed Chira Beast almost brought total destruction to your tribe. Is there such a weak World-Ending Demon Emperor? Forget about the so-called World-Ending Demon Emperor; it’s nothing! Co with to Rakshasa City and start anew, and soday we will make a coback to the Human Kingdom to seek revenge. I firmly believe that day is not far off.”
ng Tuoluo said, “I know you’ve achieved so miracles, like using the Demonic God Ruins of Mirror Mountain to destroy Constantine’s allied force and tricking the Centaur Tribe into serving you, destroying a 120,000-strong army of the Silver Alliance. But it’s all over now!”
At this point, ng Tuoluo’s tone intensified, “Yes, it’s all over. You have no more miracles to create. Chiyan Khan leads over twenty thousand centaur soldiers in a siege against the Xie Li Tribe. Your centaur reinforcents suffered a catastrophic defeat. A three-headed Chira almost destroyed your Fla Demon Tribe. How do you plan to resist the Black Demon Flag’s million-strong army, thousands of Sky Legion troops, and the incredibly powerful… Mammoth Army?”
“Lanling, your resistance is aningless. Not only will you die, but you’ll drag the so-called Fla Demon Tribe down with you. Surrender, surrender is your only way out!” ng Tuoluo finally said, “Disband the Fla Demon Tribe and co with to Rakshasa City to beco a samurai of the royal family!”
Which ans becoming a servant of the Rakshasa Royal Family?
After a slight hesitation, ng Tuoluo said, “And I can tell you, perhaps later, maybe three years later, you’ll have a trendous surprise. An extrely powerful person will beco your great backing.”
She was, of course, referring to the Motuo Empire’s Princess Na Xue.
Lanling said nothing and turned back towards the Fla Demon Tribe.
Reaching the gates of the Fla Demon Tribe, Lanling said to ng Tuoluo, “Farewell, I’m not seeing you off!”
ng Tuoluo said, “Lanling, you still haven’t given an answer. Surrender is your only way out; this battle holds no hope for you, and you are bound to die. I ca to rescue you because of our past; this is your only chance. Don’t make a foolish choice because of so pointless dignity.”
Lanling stared at ng Tuoluo and said, “Actually, you’ve always known my answer. You’re very clear inside; I would rather stand and die than kneel and live. Knowing this, you ca to persuade to surrender because you need to tell yourself that you tried your best for the sake of our past. Because you once promised that if I beca the World-Ending Demon Emperor, you would pledge your loyalty to and beco my woman. But you betrayed that promise, so you feel guilty inside and want to make ands, to not feel indebted to . So you begged Little Rakshasa King to spare and ca to persuade . But deep down, you don’t want to go to Rakshasa City, as it would strain your relationship with Little Rakshasa King.”
Upon these words, ng Tuoluo’s beautifully fair face turned pale.
Lanling said, “You always knew I wouldn’t surrender, so you ca to persuade , so you wouldn’t feel guilty.”
Lanling’s words were undoubtedly a slap in ng Tuoluo’s face, tearing open the darkest depths of her heart.
She wanted to deny it, wanted to tell Lanling, tell herself, she was saving Lanling for the sake of old tis.
Yet, deep inside, she knew clearly that what Lanling said was right.
She knew that Lanling could never surrender, which is why she ca to persuade him.
The most wicked voice in her heart was hoping that Lanling would die in this battle, proving her choice was correct.
ng Tuoluo wasn’t an evil person, but everyone has their most evil self and their most righteous self deep down.
Ultimately, it cos down to a montary choice as to which self one becos.
After choosing, one can only follow that path to the end.
Taking a deep breath, Lanling earnestly said, “ng Tuoluo, don’t be silly, you never owed anything; on the contrary, you saved my life. Your previous promise to was only real to you, so you were especially concerned; I never took it seriously.”
ng Tuoluo’s flawlessly beautiful face twitched again.
Lanling sighed and said, “Your flaw is investing too much of yourself, often walking yourself into a corner. Like in the Human Kingdom, Ji ngbai may have betrayed you, but it wasn’t a dead-end. Take my advice, don’t live just for revenge against Ji ngbai.”
ng Tuoluo sneered and said, “Then can you let go of your hatred for Zhi Yan?”
“Of course not, I will one day return to the Human Kingdom,” Lanling said.
ng Tuoluo said, “If you can’t let go, why persuade ?”
Lanling said, “That’s just how people are, full of conviction when talking about others, but when it cos to themselves, they beco fools!”
ng Tuoluo chuckled.
Lanling’s attempt to persuade her to let go of her hatred was actually his greatest irony.
“Right, you and I didn’t owe each other anything; I didn’t need to be here. Thanks for the slap in the face; it made things clearer to .” ng Tuoluo said, “Farewell!”
“Farewell!” Lanling said, “You must learn this much about life: cling to one another rather than forget each other in the rivers and lakes! After turning around, stab without hesitation; don’t feel guilty!”
ng Tuoluo laughed, “Exactly, so please don’t block my path in the future, otherwise I won’t show rcy. Of course, you won’t have the chance!”
Then, ng Tuoluo mounted a flying manta ray and was about to leave.
At that mont, a stunning silhouette dashed out, none other than the exquisitely beautiful Yin Ji.
She widened her beautiful eyes, looking incredulously at ng Tuoluo, full of joy and with a hint of confusion, said, “ng Tuoluo senior?”
For Yin Ji, it was truly a case of eting a familiar face in a foreign land.
