System's Super Sect-Chapter 735 - 730. Doubts Within the Demon Race

The Nuwa Statue will be completed by midnight tomorrow, giving Huaikong one day to prepare. As long as Huaikong doesn’t deliberately leak the news, he will be the first to kneel before the Nuwa Statue.

Huaikong was momentarily stunned after hearing Wenping’s words.

Knowing that Wenping was trying hard to support him, Huaikong hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

However, seeing that Wenping was unwilling to say more, Huaikong refrained from asking further questions.

As Wenping released Black Creek, Huaikong quickly said, "Sect Leader Wen, take care..."

"In a day, you’ll see what fate has in store for you." With that, Wenping leapt onto Black Creek’s back, followed by He Nian.

As the Condemner disappeared from the demons’ sight, Black Creek spread its wings mightily, carrying Wenping and He Nian into the sky.

As Wenping departed, Li Pass, while bowing to send him off, speculated on what Wenping had just said to Huaikong.

What secrets were hidden in those isolated words?

When Li Pass was about to ask, Huaikong straightened his back, slowly raised his head, and his face suddenly lost all humor, turning extremely stern.

Li Pass hesitated then chose not to ask.

With the new emperor just established, Huaikong, not yet firmly established, would undoubtedly use powerful Great Demons to assert his influence.

The sudden shift in his second brother’s cold gaze moments ago had already revealed everything to him.

In his view, the most likely targets were himself and Shifeng.

Or possibly the demon kings of the other three clans.

He didn’t want to stir up trouble unnecessarily.

Just then, a cold voice rang in his ears, "Elder brother, you take Jiang Xian and Tian Wu and rush to support the Demon Realm. Make sure to expel all Humans from the Demon Realm within three days."

"Understood."

Li Pass nodded, eager for action.

Huaikong continued, "Remember, after completing this task, take away all the unborn demon cubs. Then return to Demon Emperor Lake immediately, and do not pursue out of the Demon Realm."

Upon hearing this, Li Pass’s steps halted suddenly, not understanding Huaikong’s decision. He quickly asked, "Why not pursue them out? If Humans can enter the Demon Realm, they must have opened a Curved Realm Passage. This passage could be used by us, and if we pursue them out, it would be a perfect opportunity to strike the heart of the Hundred Sects Alliance."

In Li Pass’s view, with the Demon Race now backed by the colossal Immortal Sect and strong Earth Unrestricted experts, why not take this chance to make the Hundred Sects Alliance pay in blood?

A missed chance won’t come again!

Upon hearing Li Pass, the White Flood Dragon Jiang Xian and other demons also passionately expressed their views.

"Demon Emperor, we should make the Hundred Sects Alliance pay a price."

"Let’s destroy them for ten days or half a month before retreating to the Demon Realm."

Incited by the White Flood Dragon and other demon kings, many Great Demons joined in with angry roars.

They were determined not to rest until their revenge was exacted, vowing not to be demons if they didn’t.

Huaikong remained silent for a few seconds, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, and he could only explain, "We’ll settle scores with the Hundred Sects Alliance later. Our current priority is to welcome new demon inheritances and gradually strengthen the Demon Race. Even if we follow them out of the Demon Realm now and invade the Hundred Sects Alliance’s territory for a month or two, we wouldn’t actually be able to hurt the Alliance’s foundation. Instead, we’d lose more demons."

After finishing, Huaikong sighed in his heart.

The Hundred Sects Alliance understands the Demon Race very well.

However, the Demon Race does not understand the Hundred Sects Alliance.

The current Hundred Sects Alliance is not the same as it was a thousand or several hundred years ago.

Although on the surface, the number of top Human experts and top Demon experts seems similar, in terms of sheer numbers, the Hundred Sects Alliance outnumbers the Demon Race by hundreds, thousands of times. Who can guarantee that what the Hundred Sects Alliance shows the world is the truth?

Not to mention, now is the time of the Centennial Celebration, and many extraordinary forces from outside Heaven and Earth Lake have poured in. If the Demon Race launches a massive invasion into the Hundred Sects Alliance’s territory now and disrupts the Centennial Celebration, it would play right into the Hundred Sects Alliance’s hands. They could completely use the external powers to eliminate the Demon Race.

The world beyond Heaven and Earth Lake is vast indeed.

There are countless strong individuals as well.

Otherwise, with the Immortal Sect’s strength, could the Hundred Sects Alliance dare to gather an allied army to provoke? The Immortal Sect could easily storm the headquarters of the Hundred Sects Alliance, causing chaos and possibly killing the three Golden Level Chiefs as a bloody lesson, yet why doesn’t the Immortal Sect do that?

Ah!

Sadly, what he has seen and understood over the years, even if he tells it all honestly, they won’t understand.

Just as Huaikong thought, Li Pass firmly said, "Second brother, I was worried you would use me to assert your power since you’ve just become the Demon Emperor, but now even if you do use me to assert your power, so what? The Demon Race has never been afraid, never been afraid to die, and the Hundred Sects Alliance must pay in blood."

"The Demon Race’s Silver Level Chiefs are ours," followed up the White Flood Dragon Jiang Xian.

Tian Wu also added, "Leave the three Golden Level Chiefs to the King and the Third King, or seek assistance from the Immortal Sect. It’s only three Half-Step Earth Unrestricted."

...

"Enough!"

Huaikong shouted coldly.

When Li Pass and the other demons fell silent, Huaikong issued a stern order, "The Hundred Sects Alliance is not as simple as just the Hundred Sects Alliance. You can’t see who stands behind them. What’s the use of just being unafraid to die? Elder brother, don’t force me to truly use you to assert my power. I don’t want to do that..."

Li Pass immediately fell silent, and then stared intently at Huaikong for a long time.

After a while, Li Pass’s eyes finally moved slightly.

Then, Li Pass turned and left, but not before leaving a remark, "You lack a fearless heart! The Demon Emperor needs this, and I will help you find it."

Once Li Pass left, the other demon kings had no choice but to follow and leave as well.

In the sky.

On the land.

Led by Li Pass and other Great Demons, hundreds of thousands of Great Demons marched grandly towards the Demon Realm.

Shifeng was still standing not far from Huaikong, unlike Li Pass, he didn’t refute Huaikong’s decision.

Shifeng just stood there silently.

Quietly watching everything unfolding before him.

Of course, he hoped more people would question Huaikong, for that would mean questioning Sect Leader Wen.

Only if Huaikong did poorly would he have a chance to become the Demon Emperor.

But just as Huaikong turned to look at him, it was a pair of angry eyes.

"Shifeng, do you realize your mistake?"

Huaikong coldly questioned.

Shifeng’s lips curled into a slight smile, then he immediately chose to admit his mistakes, "I realize my mistake! However, what I did was also for the Demon Race, which is not much different from you, Second Brother. Humans have a saying, everyone has their own way of doing things. Demons are the same."

Huaikong coldly asked, "So, is that why you want to kill Ying Zhao?"

Shifeng replied, "Ying Zhao is not fit to be the Demon Emperor; he leans towards the Humans. Yet he has the qualification to enter the Demon Secret Realm for demon inheritance, so I had no choice then. But don’t worry, Second Brother, I will personally seek out Fourth Brother in a while and sincerely apologize."

Shifeng wasn’t afraid of losing face.

Since things had come to this, he naturally would do whatever he could.

Because he still had a chance, he could endure.

Huaikong’s prestige among the demons and his personal strength were evident, but it was only a matter of time before he couldn’t suppress the demon race.

As the most close to the Immortal Sect besides Huaikong himself, as long as Huaikong couldn’t suppress the Great Demons, he had a chance to rise as the Demon Emperor.

However, what Huaikong said next made Shifeng somewhat uneasy.

"If there comes a day when I stand in your way, would you choose to kill me too?"
