Chapter 176: Chapter 126: The Plan is Settled_1

Translator: 549690339

Despite the warm invitation from Chu Gonghou, the gathering of Demon Kings remained silent.

Breach the Guo Bei Academy?

It sounded good in theory, but how could it be executed?

Which demon in the realm didn’t know that the Guo Bei Academy had consumed countless lives, yet the problem was that it was indigestible!

Decades ago, in the early days of its establishment, Guo Bei Academy had attracted numerous Kind Spirit Monsters and literati due to the nature of its students and faced infiltration by demons and Evil Cultivators seeking to plunder and murder within the province of Guo Bei.

In the end, Guo Bei Academy remained Guo Bei Academy, while those demons and Evil Cultivators vanished without a trace.

That included the Chu Family’s young wolf cub.

Surely you, King Wolf Chu, are not unaware of this?

Let’s not even talk about ordinary demons, even Five-realm Monster Kings and True Man-level Evil Cultivators who entered Guo Bei disappeared without returning.

Years of bloody lessons later, you, King Wolf Chu, still dare to entertain such thoughts?

Could it be…?

Suddenly realizing something, a shiver ran through the eyes of the Demon Kings, their hearts filled with shock.

However, despite the fear, they kept a neutral expression, waiting to hear what Chu Gonghou had to say.

“There’s no need to be afraid,” said Chu Gonghou with a chilling smile. “Since I have invited you all here, I naturally have a reason for doing so.”

“This…”

The Demon Kings exchanged glances, feeling that there was some logic to his assurance.

As the leader of the Chu Family’s wolves, Chu Gonghou certainly knew the formidable nature of Guo Bei Academy.

Otherwise, why would he have lain in wait all this time before taking action against Guo Bei Academy?

Remember, decades ago, his clan lost a wolf cub there.

That cub was a legitimate bloodline member of the Chu Family, with strong blood and exceptional talents, deeply favored by Chu Gonghou.

Yet after the news was sent back, Chu Gonghou did not retaliate over the years, nor did he take action personally.

Clearly, King Wolf Chu was cunning and far-sighted.

Such an abrupt change now surely indicated he had something to rely on.

But this reliance…

The hearts of the Demon Kings were filled with doubt, and they dared not jump to conclusions.

In the end, it was the older demons who mustered the courage to probe.

“King of Chu, that Guo Bei Academy is extraordinary!”

“Indeed, just Li Liuxian alone, with his Sword technique of the Flying Sword, is extremely sharp!”

“Eighteen years ago, my cousin also fancied taking on Guo Bei Academy, only to be slain by a sword from ten miles away!”

“That was a true Sword technique, the Flying Immortal Skill, coupled with the immense Cultural Qi that Guo Bei Academy possessed, slaying Demon Kings as if they were mere pigs and dogs—truly not something to provoke carelessly!”

“Furthermore, within the county of Guo Bei, there are two other true Spell Cultivators, the Thunder Lightning Mana King from the Mingxiao Taoist Temple at Mount Jilei, and the Hundred Ghosts Taoist from the Hundred Ghosts Forest in Yin Mountain Mansion Taoist Temple, both of whom are close friends with Li Liuxian.”

“That Thunder Lightning Mana King, Shi Jian, possesses horrifyingly powerful Thunder Series skills, particularly lethal against our kind. Over a decade ago, when the eight great demons of the Langshan wanted to capture Guo Bei, they ran into him. Three of the Demon Kings were instantly obliterated on the spot, and he chased down and exterminated four more, with only one narrowly escaping back to Langshan!”

“After returning, the surviving demon was mortally wounded and died soon after. Then, Shi Jian led the disciples of Mingxiao to thoroughly scour Langshan, killing countless members of our kind. To this day, Langshan is left with nothing but a few cats and dogs.”

“Then there’s the Yin Mountain Taoist, whose Ghost Enslaving Skills are nothing to scoff at. The old ghost of the Dry Tomb at White Bone Mountain, with thousands of years of Taoist Cultivation, had a rank of Ghost Kings and Ghost Generals among his followers, each more powerful than us.”

“Fifteen years ago, on July 15th, during the Ghost Festival when the Ghost Path is wide open and the Dual Realm of Yin and Yang is accessible, the entire White Bone Mountain rose up. The old ghost of the Dry Tomb led five Ghost Kings and over ten thousand Underworld Soldiers into the county of Guo Bei.”

“What became of them?”

“The five Ghost Kings along with the ten thousand Underworld Soldiers were stopped dead in their tracks by the Increase and Decrease Two Generals and the Five Chaotic Generals and Soldiers from the Yin Mountain Mansion Taoist Temple. The resulting battle was earth-shattering. Eventually, the Yin Mountain Taoist himself joined the fray, and together with the Increase and Decrease Two Generals, slaughtered the old ghost from the Dry Tomb, all five Ghost Kings, and more than ten thousand Underworld Soldiers. Not a single one survived; they were all devoured and annihilated.”

The old demons started listing the military feats of Guo Bei Academy one by one, which stirred even greater fear among the gathered Demon Kings.

Despite making statements that seemed to bolster the enemy’s morale and diminish their own, all present were veterans of old and wouldn’t be bothered by such trivialities. Testing Chu Gonghou’s confidence and support was the key.

“Hmph!”

“Let us not boost the morale of others and undermine our own prestige!”

As expected, Chu Gonghou let out a cold huff, and went straight to the point, “If I dare to take action against that academy, it means I have full confidence in conquering it.”

“Oh?”

Seeing Chu Gonghou’s confidence, the old demons perked up, “Is King of Chu truly confident?”

As they spoke, the eyes of all the demons were focused on Chu Gonghou.

Although the world had its fair share of rampaging demons, it was still a world belonging to the Human Clan, whose strength far surpassed that of demons.

Especially the Righteous Skills Cultivators from various sects of Taoism, who were usually able to defeat demons of the same level, and if not for the longevity advantage of demons, who had ancient beasts and old ghosts defending their territories, they would have been wiped out by the various sects long ago.

Even the ancient demons with thousands of years of Taoist Cultivation only dared to guard their domains and hesitated to venture out, for the sects would spare no expense to mobilize their potentiality and unleash their vast destructive power to shatter the souls of ancient demons.

Thus, the demons were curious about where Chu Gonghou got the audacity to target the Guo Bei Academy.

Li Liuxian and the two cultivators from Mingxiao and Yin Mountain held true True Man-level Cultivation, slaughtering Demon Kings as easily as butchering pigs and dogs.

To act against them, at the very least, a Demon Emperor would need to make a move; otherwise, there was no chance of victory.

Had Chu Gonghou reached the realm of the Demon Emperor?

Even if he had stepped into that realm, being just one Demon Emperor, how could he possibly stand against the three cultivations of Guo Bei?
