Chapter 1971: Chapter 896: Fulfilling Ashi Liren! The Sub-King Position! (Part 2)

Na Xue frowned and asked, "Did Your Majesty send you with any message?"

Du Shu replied, "His Majesty said that only real power matters, and not to be overly concerned about who becomes Emperor. Moreover, the Dragon Temple would never allow our Bloodsucking Demon Race to become the Emperor of the Southern and Northern Barbarian Wastes."

The meaning behind these words was clear. The Emperor would continue to be Crown Prince Tiancha, but the power of the future Southern Barbaric Lands’ Demon Empire should rest in the hands of Na Xue.

Na Xue pondered for a moment and said, "Relay the message to Emperor Motuo that Tiancha King must not live!"

Upon hearing this, Du Shu couldn’t help but frown slightly.

This condition seemed very difficult to achieve... but after all, she was only a concubine of Crown Prince Motuo, and although she represented the authority of the Motuo Empire in the Southern Barbaric Lands, she had no power to instruct Na Xue.

Emperor Moda had repeatedly told her that once she arrived in the Southern Barbaric Lands, she must obey Na Xue without question.

"Yes!" Du Shu replied, "I will pass the message to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Na Xue said, "You may leave!"

Du Shu exited, leaving only Na Xue and Emperor Di Ming in the grand hall.

After quite a while, Na Xue spoke, "When I first headed south, I was so full of spirit, believing that I alone could sweep through the entire Southern Barbaric Lands and solely command this vast territory. I did not want anyone to touch my power. But now? Emperor Moda intervened, the Dragon Temple also intervened. I and Tiancha King have seemingly become mere chess pieces."

Emperor Di Ming said, "In the world, we can’t call the shots for ourselves! Once we conquer the Southern Barbaric Lands, there will ultimately be a day when we break free and soar high!"

Moments later, Du Shu appeared outside the hall again and said, "Princess, I wish to go to the Flame Demon Empire."

"For what reason?" Na Xue asked.

Du Shu replied, "To meet an old acquaintance!"

"Approved!" Na Xue said.

...

Flame Demon City!

Lanling conducted a final tally of the Flame Demon Empire’s strength!

There are eight Sub-King Layer Powerhouses, fifty-two Demon Saint Layer Powerhouses, one thousand two hundred Demon Venerable Layer Powerhouses, and twenty-three thousand Demon Sect Layer Powerhouses!

Na Xue received support from the Motuo Empire, and Tiancha King received support from the Dragon Temple.

Therefore, when it comes to top-level Martial Arts strength, the Flame Demon Empire is no match for either Na Xue or Tiancha King, except for the Sub-King Layer Powerhouses, it’s even only half of Na Xue’s, and only a quarter of Na Xue and Tiancha King’s allied army!

So in this final battle, it’s false to say that Tiancha King and Na Xue’s allied army is ten times stronger than the Flame Demon Empire, but they are indeed four times stronger.

"The Undead Warriors are energy beings and nearly immune to all energy attacks except for Electric Energy!" Tang Ren said, "Therefore, the enemy will surely utilize the Undead Warrior Group to break through our Hell Condensing Demon Formation, destroy our Energy Tower defense, and then launch a major attack!"

The Witch Queen said, "However, no one would expect, His Majesty has laid countless spatial traps in the sky above Flame Demon City, which will annihilate all Undead Warrior Groups. And the Undead Wizards Group is not only Na Xue’s ultimate force, but also claims half of its top-level Martial Arts strength."

Tang Ren said, "Therefore, based on Mirror Demon King’s ten times simulation of the battles, we are bound to win. Even if Tiancha King and Na Xue’s allied army’s strength exceeds ours threefold, or fourfold! Because all their victories depend on destroying our Hell Condensing Demon Formation, and on the Undead Warrior Group. Eliminate the Undead Warrior Group, and the Flame Demon Empire will surely win. But... the only variable lies in the opponent’s Sub-King Layer Powerhouses. According to the battle simulation, if the opponent’s Sub-Kings number nine people, we are still sure to win, but if it exceeds eleven, a variable arises; over thirteen, the variable grows significant..."

Ancient Witch General Xixi said, "So, I suggest once the battle begins, His Majesty immediately uses mental power to kill Emperor Di Ming!"

Lanling has absorbed the blood of Emperor Di Ming, he can’t control his will, but can control his life and death.

The Witch Queen said, "Our Sub-King Layer Powerhouses are still too few, is it necessary to order the Wholehearted Elder, the Grand Priest from Holy Demon Palace to come?"

The Wholehearted Elder from Holy Demon Palace is also a Sub-King Layer Powerhouse; the Witch Queen cannot command her, but Lanling can.

After hesitating for a moment, Lanling shook his head. Many energy array mechanisms within the Holy Demon Palace require Sub-King Layer Powerhouses to operate. The Holy Demon Legion can be mobilized, but the Wholehearted Grand Priest cannot.

Tang Ren said, "Our Sub-King Layer Powerhouses are still too few. Currently, there are several options; the first option is to awaken Bingren."

Bingren is sealed within an abandoned laboratory of the Dragon Temple; he was once the strongest powerhouse of the entire Demon Race. Once awakened, no one can control him.

After thinking for a moment, Lanling still vetoed this proposal.

"The second option, seek aid from King Dongli Jiang Shang!" Tang Ren said.

Lanling shook his head, again vetoing this option.

Tang Ren stopped because there were no further options.

Lanling asked, "Within our side, how many people have already reached Dianfeng Ji Mo Sheng?"

Many, the King of the Winged Tribe, Tang Ren, many standard-bearers of the Witch Kingdom, Witch Generals, and Misfortune Goddess Shui Hongshao.

"Then as of now, who has the most hope of breaking through to the Sub-King Layer?" Lanling asked.

The Witch Queen said, "Liren!"

This answer surprised Lanling a bit, but upon further thought, it was not unexpected.

After all, over seven years ago, Liren was already at the Demon Lord Layer level, yet couldn’t break through to the next realm and transform, thus suffering from Bloodline Energy backlash.

Having trained under the Witch Queen for seven years, breaking through to Demon Saint Dianfeng was very normal.

The Witch Queen said, "In every generation, there are over ten people in our Witch Kingdom capable of breaking through to Sub-King, but due to severe energy decline in the Demon Race territory, only two people can be supported in each generation. One is for the Witch Queen, and the other for the Grand Priest of the Holy Demon Palace! Logically speaking, unless I abdicate and give her all the energy, Liren couldn’t become a Sub-King!"

Lanling asked, "How many Undead Warriors are produced daily by Na Xue’s Corpse Giant Tower?"

"Several thousand to ten thousand!" Tang Ren said.

Lanling said, "So, she still needs some time to fully refine hundreds of thousands of Undead Warriors. And she won’t start the war before the Undead Warriors are fully refined!"

"Correct!" Tang Ren confirmed.

Lanling said, "Thus, I will take Liren to break through to Sub-King! Try to complete the Sub-King promotion within a month!"

Of course, Lanling will take Liren to the Demonic Prison Secret Realm to train. Now that she’s already at Dianfeng Ji Mo Sheng, she can simply continue normal training to achieve Sub-King. Since she has this Bloodline talent herself, she ranks among the top ten of the Witch Kingdom in Bloodline talent.

Ashi Liren is also a member of the Flame Demon Council, but she only brings her ears, not her mouth. She likes to use her fists, not her brain.

Upon hearing Lanling’s words, she nodded and said, "Okay!"

At this time, the voice of Gou Li rang in Lanling’s head.

"Master, a member of the Bloodsucking Royal Family of the Motuo Empire, daughter of the Serpent Spirit Clan Queen, Du Shu seeks aid from Empress Lan SiSi!"

Lan SiSi, was once the second wife of Constantine who made substantial contributions and thus married Lanling to become one of his empresses.

Unexpectedly, the Serpent Spirit Clan Princess of the Motuo Empire came to see her?
