A Demon's Journey-Chapter 573 Plot Against Rueben

Rueben's battle against five Demon Kings had created many legends about him in the entire world.

This greatly increased Rueben's reputation and even the Pinhian Republic's prestige. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

However, these legends also spread a deep sense of fear of Rueben in other nations.

All the nations neighboring the Pinhian Republic knew that they would have to fight Rueben eventually.

And if he appeared, the Pinhian Republic would win every war without the presence of an Emperor-Ranked Expert.

They shuddered in dejection that such a great talent belonged to an enemy. It would have been wonderful if Rueben belonged to their respective nations.

Unfortunately, there was no use thinking much in this direction. They had to prepare a countermeasure.

Thus, all the kingdoms around the Pinhian Republic conducted a secret meeting. The topic of this meeting centered around Rueben. More precisely, plotting Rueben's death!

The strategists and the generals in these kingdoms knew that killing Rueben by themselves was impossible. After all, Rueben wasn't the only talented warrior in the Pinhian Republic.

His master's reputation wasn't any less. And this man is a terrifying Emperor-Ranked Warrior!

To handle him required multiple Emperor-Ranked Warriors. Thus, the strength of multiple kingdoms was necessary.

However, the humans weren't the only ones who were terrified by the display of Rueben's power.

The remaining demon kings deep within the Forbidden Forest were also conducting a meeting. They never could have imagined that a single king-ranked warrior could kill four Demon Kings in a battle!

Most demons looked down on humans because of their weak physique and spirit. It was only natural because not all humans are blessed with impressive comprehension or talent.

Thus, it was very surprising for these demons to believe that a human was so terrifying.

The discussion of these demon kings centered around a rather simple point.

They were discussing whether it would be wise to conduct a demon raid on the Pinhian Republic or not.

Only twenty-nine Demon Kings are left in the Forbidden Forest. Each possesses a private faction that equaled the Pinhian Republic's population. If their motive was to destroy the kingdom, this matter would have received a unanimous vote in favor of attacking the Pinhian Republic.

However, their focus was something else. Thus, only nine of these twenty-nine Demon Kings encourage the attack of the Pinhian Republic. The other twenty Demons Kings didn't wish to attack the Pinhian Republic because it would spark the end of their forces and most likely even their lives.

If such a large demon faction destroys an entire nation, the Qin Empire and the Empire of Qian Guo won't ignore it.

They will likely send their personal warriors to clean up the demon forces. There was a chance that the Qin Empire will send a God-Ranked Warrior.

This was what the Demon Kings feared the most!

However, there was another possibility that terrified the Demon Kings and even the Death-Inducing Demon Emperor to some extent.

The possibility of Rueben advancing to the 7 Star Rank.

In fact, the kingdoms around the Pinhian Republic also shared this worry.

This is the terrifying concern that has forced them to join hands.

If Rueben ever reaches the Emperor-Ranked, it will be very difficult to kill him. Even a group of 7 Star Warriors will find themselves hard-pressed to kill him.

No individual in these kingdoms was silly enough to believe that Rueben's talent won't shine as brightly after advancing to the Emperor Rank.

The Emperor Rank was extremely wide, and the power of a warrior greatly varied.

However, Rueben had exhibited an unprecedented talent that surpassed even the Vicious Lightning Paragon's. If the two joined forces, all the kingdoms around the Pinhian Republic, excluding the Qin Empire, would be forced to submit.

In fact, many of these kingdoms cursed their spies and informants in the Pinhian Republic. What the heck was these guys doing in the Pinhian Republic?!

How could they not mention such a huge threat in their messages?! Most of the countries felt as if they had wasted their resources on their spy network.

These idiots were useless!

They wondered whether the other disciples of the Vicious Lightning Paragon were also such monsters.

All the countries planned to focus on these warriors. They had to test their potential as well. Was it on the same level as Rueben or lower?

They didn't even think that their potential could be greater than Rueben's because this was impossible!

In the meantime, the Vicious Lightning Paragon visited Rueben.

He was proud of his disciple to have won against five Demon Kings. Not just winning but killing five Demon Kings.

However, he knew that the tallest tree experiences the strongest wind.

Rueben's legend as an Invincible Archer King had put him in the limelight. It was to an extent that even the Vicious Lightning Paragon's reputation and terror wouldn't prevent Rueben's enemies from acting against him.

However, everyone in the world wasn't Rueben's enemy. The Vicious Lightning Paragon received assistance from a shocking faction. The Church of Mubesni.

The Church of Mubesni stated three reasons for helping Rueben.

Firstly, Rueben's act of slaughtering five Demon Kings pleased them greatly. As they were followers of Celestials who were hateful enemies of the demons, it was only natural for them to help Rueben.

Secondly, the Church of Mubesni wished to use Rueben as bait and trap a large number of demons. It would be best if they could kill the Demon Emperor. But they knew that it was impossible that the Demon Emperor would leave the Forbidden Forest for this matter.

Thirdly, the Church of Mubesni required the Vicious Lightning Paragon to send someone to the Empire of Qian Guo.

The Vicious Lightning Paragon felt that the first two reasons were very natural. He was, however, shocked to hear the third reason.

But when he thought deeply, the Vicious Lightning Paragon felt that the Church of Mubesni might be sending a member to establish their religion in the Empire of Qian Guo.

This task required crossing the borders of multiple kingdoms and not even a King-Ranked Warrior could accomplish this.

However, this task wasn't actually a big deal for the Vicious Lightning Paragon. His strength, speed, and his reputation allowed him to freely roam in the world, excluding the Qin Empire.
