Yun Yang's heart was pounding with fear.
Instinctively, he felt an extreme sense of danger.
Mr. Nian … a Demon Emperor?
Not only was this frightening, it was also absurd.
However, the Phoenix Emperor did not know that the weakest demon fox was Yun Yang's disguise. Even if Yun Yang were to manifest his human form now, he would not be able to recognize him.
Right now, all of his attention was focused on Cat Ancestor.
"Cat, why do you have to do this?"
The Cat Ancestor stopped in his tracks, his sharp eyes looking at the Phoenix Emperor as he said softly, "Brother Phoenix, the Nine-lives Cat Race has two billion subjects. How many of them are left in this world now?"
When the question was asked, his voice was soft and his tone was indifferent, but the meaning behind his words was earth-shattering and went straight to the heart of the matter!
Two billion subjects!
With the Cat Race's terrifying reproductive ability, as well as their past influence and power, this number was definitely not an exaggeration.
However, that was in the past!
Now, there was not a single cat in the entire Demonic Realm!
Although the Phoenix Emperor was eloquent, she was at a loss for words when she heard this and was speechless for a while. After a long time, he said, "Brother Cat, you have to look forward in everything."
The Cat Emperor sucked in a deep breath and said, "That means … there's basically no more?"
He pointed at the demons of the Cat Race behind him and said faintly, "Only these are left?"
The Phoenix Emperor sighed at the sky.
The Cat Emperor asked coldly, "Then … where have my two billion subjects gone to?"
The Phoenix Emperor lowered his head bitterly.
The Cat Emperor looked at the Phoenix Emperor's expression and took in a long, long breath.
However, it was this breath that almost sucked the entire battlefield into a vacuum!
Then, the Cat Emperor asked word by word in an extremely heavy tone, "Brother Phoenix, you know everything about that matter from start to finish back then, right?"
The Phoenix Emperor heaved a long sigh, still speechless.
Previously, he had nothing to say, but now, he had nothing to say!
"I, the Nine-lives Cat, have never thought of betraying the Demonic Race, nor do I have the intention to be independent. I've always been everyone's good brother, and I think … among all of us, I'm the one with the best demonic affinity."
"It's not just my clan that has good affinity with demons. Most of the emperors of the various clans are my good brothers!"
The Nine-lives Cat Emperor smiled bitterly, "Back then, Mao Baiyi was a brother who grew up with me since I was young. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that we were childhood friends. He accompanied me as I roamed the world, and I became the emperor. To me, he was my first brother, and no demon could compare to him! At the same time, he is also the number one think tank of our cat clan, an indispensable and important figure of the cat clan. His importance to the cat clan may not be lower than mine! "
"He's indifferent by nature and doesn't want anything. He doesn't want a high position or wealth. He just wants to stay by my side and help me with all his heart. It could be said that he charged into the frontlines and schemed for the sake of me. If I didn't have ambition, he wouldn't have come out of seclusion. "
"And when I ascended to the position of the Cat Emperor, Bai Yi chose to leave without saying goodbye, saying that he was going to Carefree Heaven. But I know that he didn't want his brothers to be divided. The cat clan only needs a supreme emperor. Even if I didn't mind, he wouldn't overstep his boundaries, but he still chose to leave and avoid the court …"
"Brother Feng, speaking of which, Bai Yi helped you quite a lot back then, right? Although everyone acknowledged that you are the wisest of the demon clan, and that Nine-Tailed fellow is behind you, the third should be Mao Baiyi, right?"
"That case back then, it all started because of a very ordinary encounter. The second prince was tempted by his beauty and used force against Bai Yi. With Bai Yi's cultivation, how could the second prince succeed? It was because Bai Yi knew that the other party was the crown prince of the dragon clan. Once they fought, it would definitely lead to a clash between the dragon clan and the cat clan. So, after he sent his family away, he revealed his identity and chose to be captured."
"What kind of status does Mao Baiyi have? Even if we talk about it now, even if the one who had a conflict with him was His Majesty the Demon Emperor, he would still have to give him some face, right? With Bai Yi's illustrious reputation and illustrious achievements, this isn't too much, right? "
At this point, all the sovereigns of the various clans sighed and nodded.
The Cat Emperor was right.
Back then, the crown prince of the dragon clan was indeed too domineering.
"But Bai Yi's submission and his mercy didn't gain the other party's goodwill. After that, the second prince clearly knew his identity, but he still stubbornly went his own way. He forcibly took his wife and two of his concubines. Even Bai Yi's daughter …"
"In the end, the white-clothed man was tortured to death!"
"In the end, none of Bai Yi's family members were spared. Just because they showed hatred, they were eliminated by the second prince and all of them were killed!"
There was deep sorrow in the Cat Emperor's voice. "Back then, countless demons said that I, the Nine-Lives Cat, was too impulsive and impulsive. But I want to ask Brother Feng: Back then, if you were me, what would you do? What would you do?! "
"I only have one question. Should this revenge be taken??"
The Phoenix Emperor was still speechless. He didn't even sigh.
Impulsive?
Not impulsive at all!
The Phoenix Emperor had thought about this countless times. If he was the Nine-Lives Cat back then, then the Demon Emperor's Second Crown Prince wouldn't have been able to escape death!
However, he would have been more discreet in dealing with him. Perhaps he wouldn't have completely fallen out with the Demon Emperor!
This was probably the thinking of a wise person. They would have considerable concerns. He was like that, and so was Bai Yi back then!
Bai Yi's concerns and his consideration of the big picture led to his own tragic end. It even planted the seeds of the current situation of the cat clan!
But could this be blamed on Bai Yi's inaction?
Or could it be blamed on the Cat Emperor's stubbornness?!
Sometimes, taking the big picture into consideration was a kind of weakness!
"Yes, I made a move. I killed the Second Crown Prince and all the demons related to the Second Crown Prince. All the guards, including those high-level demon cultivators who had attacked Bai Yi, were all killed by me. They all deserved to die. They must die!"
"When Bai Yi sacrificed for the demon clan, what were they doing? Why did they risk their lives to kill Bai Yi? Just because he was the Demon Emperor's Crown Prince and had great power, they could do whatever they wanted without scruples?! "
The Cat Emperor revealed a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth. "What I did was what my heart wanted! Brother Feng, I can tell you this with absolute certainty. I've been in prison for so many years, and I've thought about what happened back then thousands of times … Was my choice wrong? Was I really impulsive? Did I end up in such a miserable state … "
"But my answer was the same every time. Even if I had to do it all over again, I still wouldn't compromise! I would still do it! Without hesitation, I would die nine times without regrets!
"The only thing I regret … is that I was too eager to take revenge and let that bastard die too quickly!
"I still regret that I didn't eliminate a large portion of the family members of those bastards who followed the Second Crown Prince back then!"
The Cat Emperor laughed sorrowfully. "After this, everyone in the world knew that the Demon Emperor suppressed me. But Brother Phoenix, did you not know? I didn't resist at all?
"Bai Yi was my brother. It was fair and just for me to take revenge for my brother. Long Yutian was also my brother, my big brother! I killed my big brother's son, so I had to give him an explanation. So I didn't resist and let Long Yutian make the decision. This was also the cause of Bai Yi's death. He didn't want to see the two Demon Emperors clash! I was willing to believe that Long Yutian would handle this matter impartially. I was willing to believe that after my big brother knew about this, he would uphold justice for me and give justice to Bai Yi! "
The Cat Emperor cried out loudly, "I always believed in my brother. Bai Yi was so, and so was Long Yutian! For my brother, I didn't want this matter to go to the extreme! That's why I surrendered! "
The Cat Emperor laughed loudly, shaking the sky. He was indescribably sorrowful. "But I didn't expect that my so-called belief was so naive. Just like that, I buried the lives of two billion subjects of the Nine Lives Cat Clan!
"This naive and foolish action caused the entire Demon Realm to no longer have the Nine Lives Cat Clan!
"I've let Bai Yi down. I let Bai Yi's long-cherished wish fail!
"Now, I'm out!"
The Cat Emperor howled sorrowfully. "But I'm no longer the Nine Lives Cat of the past! Brother Phoenix, for the sake of our past relationship, I'm not willing to fight to the death with you! I only ask you one question now. Are you going to give way to me or not? "
The Phoenix Emperor said in a low voice, "Brother Cat, it's fate that you've managed to escape this time. I'll only be happy for you. How can I not stop you as a son of man? Not only you, but any demon belonging to the Nine Lives Cat Clan can leave with Brother Cat. In fact, you can even take away all these Saint Monarchs that you've rescued! I'll bear all the responsibility! "
He changed the topic and raised his hand, saying faintly, "However, Brother Cat, you must leave these three demon foxes behind. This is my only condition!"
The Phoenix Emperor assessed the situation and made a decision. He decided to stick to his original intention and target Yun Yang first. First, he couldn't bear to deal with the Cat Emperor, and second … it would cause unnecessary trouble. It was better to buy the Cat Emperor's friendship and let him lead the group away!
The three demon foxes were identical, like triplets. They were too eye-catching and had long been targeted by the Phoenix Emperor.
Under the power of the Heaven Sealing Formation, all their auras were hidden. If they didn't fight head-on, even the Phoenix Emperor couldn't tell who was stronger.
Otherwise, he would only ask for the weakest one!
The Phoenix Emperor knew very well that Yun Yang had to be one of the three demon foxes, and the weakest one among them!
As long as he killed Yun Yang today, this trip would not be in vain. It might even be the greatest victory!
Even if the Nine-lives Cat managed to escape with over 20 Saint Monarchs, compared to the strength of the entire demon race, 20 Saint Monarchs were nothing!
Of course, this was mainly because the Phoenix Emperor was dissatisfied with the Demon Emperor's actions regarding the matter between the Nine Lives Cat and the Demon Emperor. Now that he was using this matter to buy a favor from the Nine Lives Cat, the Phoenix Emperor felt that it didn't matter.
"Hahahaha …"
The Cat Emperor naturally didn't understand the Phoenix Emperor's plan. Hearing this, he laughed into the sky, almost tearing up. "Brother Phoenix is indeed resourceful! With just a few words, you've separated us. You clearly know that us demons were able to escape with our lives because of these three brothers. They are our saviors! Yet, you made this request. "
His voice was like thunder, "Back then, for the sake of my brother, I killed the Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor's bloodline without any regard for the consequences. Today, will I abandon my benefactor in order to live?"
"Brother Phoenix, you say that you're letting me go, but is this how you're going to let me go? You think too little of my nine lives! "
The Phoenix Emperor said solemnly, "Brother Cat, you've really misunderstood this matter. Everyone here is the same. This Sky Sealing Great Formation is not set up for everyone. It's only against one person. Among the three fox demons, one of them is the incarnation of a human spy! This fiend has been stirring up trouble in our demon land, causing endless calamities. Tens of millions of demon people have perished because of this. If we let it go, there will be endless troubles! I'm afraid the entire demon race will be overturned because of this! "
He said word by word, "Brother Cat, no matter what, you're also a member of the demon race. Are you going to watch such a tragedy? Is this the glory of the demon race that Bai Yi hopes for?! "
The Cat Emperor's eyes were half-closed as he said indifferently, "Brother Phoenix, if you said this before I was imprisoned, I would be boiling with blood and help without any hesitation. But now … I've already said that I'm no longer the Nine Lives Cat from back then. "
"So what if you're a demon? So what if you're a human? So what if you're a great enemy? Even if the demon race is really extinct … so what? "
The Cat Emperor chuckled coldly, "Is annihilation … really that scary? At least in my opinion, it's not scary. Isn't my Nine Lives Cat race already extinct? It's not a big deal! Isn't it just a few demons dying?!
"Back then, I proposed to the Demon Emperor that I could surrender and wait for the public trial, but this matter would stop at me and not attack my cat race. His Majesty the Demon Emperor agreed. So what now?
"Now, you're talking to me about the big picture? You're saying that the demon race will be overturned?! "
The Cat Emperor shouted like a thunderbolt, his eyes glistening with tears. "My two billion subjects, who will talk to them about the big picture and destruction?! You?! "
"Brother Cat, you've already been blinded by your emotions. You're unreasonable. I know that because of your encounters and experiences, your personality will definitely become extreme, but I never thought that it would be to this extent! "
The Phoenix Emperor took a deep breath. "However, I must kill these three fox demons."
The Cat Emperor narrowed his eyes. "Good, good, good. You must kill them, but I must protect these three demons who saved my life. What are you going to do about it?!"
"Good, good, good!" The Phoenix Emperor nodded slowly and said word by word, "I've made myself clear, and I've said everything. But you're still stubborn. Let's see … if you can protect them!"
He waved his hand and shouted, "Come down!"
Before the Phoenix Emperor finished speaking, the 99 Great Monarchs in the sky, who were waiting in formation, suddenly descended from the sky in an orderly manner!
At this moment, the air had completely frozen!
Ninety-nine Great Saint Monarchs, in addition to the most mysterious and unfathomable Phoenix Empress of the entire Demon Race, were blocking the way. There were also many other experts stationed in the Demon Imperial City. The other Sovereigns were all hurrying over.
All the Great Monarchs who had just rushed out of the Demon Soul Prison had ashen faces. Even Tuntun and the other two girls' eyes were filled with despair.
Although they were already prepared for a cruel attack this time, who would have thought that when they escaped and saw the light of day again, there would be such a terrifying trap waiting outside!
