The Demon Emperor's voice was filled with joy. Even if the elders were unwilling to accept the Demon Emperor's decision, they could only lower their noble heads under his majestic gaze.
Huo Ling 'er's eyes were filled with joy as she hastily bowed to the Demon Emperor.
"Thank you, father. I'll go tell him the good news now."
The Demon Emperor could only helplessly shake his head as he watched his daughter leave. Some of the elders wanted to say something, but they were interrupted by the Demon Emperor.
"Although our Demon Clan is extremely powerful, I have a premonition that the danger brought by the Netherworld Palace is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Otherwise, with his half-step Martial Dao Realm cultivation, how would he dare to extend his claws into our Spirit Realm?" The Demon Emperor's aura suddenly erupted, causing the elders below to hold their breaths.
"How is that possible? Even if Nine Nether was given a few more guts, he wouldn't dare to do that. However, the Demon Emperor's words are definitely not without reason." The elders below were instantly in an uproar. In their opinion, no matter how powerful the Netherworld Palace was, they shouldn't have provoked them.
"Elder Jiang Feng, do you have anything else to say?" The Demon Emperor suddenly shifted his gaze to an elder who was standing at the front of the hall.
The other elders were also puzzled.
Regarding this Elder Jiang Feng, it could be said that he had risked his life for the Demon Race over the years and made great contributions. If one were to say that he was a spy sent by the Netherworld Palace, no one would believe it.
Elder Jiang Feng took a step forward with a bitter smile on his face. Then, he cupped his hands towards the other elders in the hall.
"Since it has come to this, I have nothing else to say. Since Your Majesty has seen through me, then this old man will take his own life today."
"Wait! Did I allow you to make a move? " A dignified voice resounded in the hall. For a moment, Elder Jiang Feng felt that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move his hand from his forehead.
The Demon Emperor's strength was terrifying. One must know that Elder Jiang Feng's strength had already reached the Manifestation Realm.
Even so, under the imposing aura of the Demon Emperor, he couldn't even resist.
"Jiang Feng, why are you so muddle-headed?" An old man who was usually very close to Elder Jiang Feng was holding his chest at this moment as he spoke in a somewhat distressed manner.
The reason the Demon Race was able to dominate Spirit Realm, and no matter how strong the human forces were, they did not dare to easily show their claws and fangs. It was not only because the Demon Emperor was extremely powerful, but also because the Demon Race was usually very united when facing enemies.
Elder Jiang Feng's actions could be said to have caused everyone's anger. However, they could not understand why their good friend, who usually looked like a good person, would dare to betray Spirit Realm! Betraying the demon race!
The Demon Emperor slowly walked down from his throne and arrived in front of Elder Jiang Feng. He stared at the latter without blinking.
"I need you to give me an explanation for this matter. Otherwise, your Spirit Vulture Clan will be directly wiped out." The Demon Emperor's voice was filled with an unquestionable tone, causing the other elders to feel a sudden shock in their hearts.
Within the Demon Race, only those who had committed a heinous crime would be jointly hunted by the various factions, and the entire clan would be wiped out. However, the decision that the Demon Emperor had made was far too cruel and merciless. Was he not afraid that the other elders would feel resentful towards him?
These elders subconsciously took a few steps back, a few traces of fear in their eyes.
"Your Majesty, could it be that this old subject cannot use my own death to exchange for the peace of the entire clan?" Elder Jiang Feng's hands trembled as two turbid streams of tears flowed down from his eyes.
"Hurry up and explain this matter so that the elders here can understand." The Demon Emperor was a little impatient. He glared angrily at Elder Jiang Feng, causing fear to fill his heart and mind.
Helplessly revealing a bitter smile, Elder Jiang Feng slowly turned his head and looked at his former colleagues. Then, he suddenly knelt down on the ground.
"I, Jiang Feng, have committed a crime that cannot be punished. Since the Demon Emperor has already made it so clear, I will no longer hide it."
"Dozens of years ago, a junior of my clan wanted to go to the continent to train. After reaching the Heavenly Yuan Realm, he walked out of the Spirit Realm in the appearance of a human. However, he should not have been bewitched by the people of the Netherworld Palace. From then on, he stepped on a path of no return."
When the elders heard these words, their eyes were filled with pity. Of course, they could understand. If there was a talented descendant in their clan, but because he went astray, his future was ruined. Naturally, they would think of a way to forcefully reverse the situation.
"After that child returned to the clan, he actually ruthlessly attacked the entire clan. Some of the newborn children of our clan had a restriction placed in their bodies. After that, he even used this as a threat to force the people of our clan to secretly submit to the Netherworld Palace. In the future, when they successfully occupied the territories that belonged to the humans, they would launch an all-out attack on the Spirit Realm. At that time, our clan would be the first to counterattack. "
When Elder Jiang Feng said this, his face was already full of tears, and his voice was choked with sobs.
Faced with the situation at that time, he really had no other choice. It should be known that once the lives of those children were completely controlled by the people of the Netherworld Palace, it could be said that the Spirit Vulture Race was not far from destruction.
After weighing the pros and cons, Elder Jiang Feng could only choose to take the risk out of desperation. However, he didn't expect the Demon Emperor to see through his plan early on. Right now, the Netherworld Palace was in full swing against the human forces, so it was impossible for them to divert their attention to attack the Spirit Realm. Faced with the powerful Demon Race, the Spirit Vulture Race that had already betrayed the Spirit Realm could only wait for destruction.
After hearing those words, the other elders no longer had any sympathy on their faces. If the Netherworld Palace really got what they wanted, with the help of the Spirit Vulture Clan, who knew how many members of the Demon Race would lose their lives in the future turmoil.
At this time, no one felt that the Demon Emperor's decision was too cruel. Instead, many people volunteered to go directly to the Spirit Vulture Race's territory and completely exterminate them.
After Elder Jiang Feng said these words, he suddenly sat down on the main seat of the hall. Disheartened, his eyes were filled with despair. He knew that his clan was finished.
Although the Demon Race was very united and could stand together in the face of external enemies, they would not show any mercy when faced with the betrayal of their own people.
At this time, the Demon Emperor did not look at Elder Jiang Feng again. Instead, he turned to look at the other seated elders. His voice was full of solemnity.
"Since the Netherworld Palace has already planted a hidden pawn, I believe that the Spirit Vulture Race is not the only one who has been bewitched by them. Later, all of you will return to your respective clans and investigate carefully. If you find anything wrong, you must not show any mercy."
The seated elders hurriedly lowered their heads and responded in unison.
"The Spirit Realm has been independent of the continent for almost twenty thousand years. Those selfish and greedy humans may have long forgotten how sharp the claws of the Demon Race are. War will come eventually. I order all of you to restrain the disciples of your clans for a period of time and prepare for war at any time. "
"As for the Spirit Vulture Race, I have my own plans. You don't need to worry about it."
The Demon Emperor waved his sleeves and signaled the elders to leave.
At this time, only the Demon Emperor and Jiang Feng were left in the entire hall.
"Uncle Jiang Feng, tell me, how could you be so muddle-headed? Your tribe is one of the best in the Demon Race. If you were to really betray us, what would happen to the Demon Race?" The Demon King helped Jiang Feng up from the ground as a rare look of grief appeared in his eyes.
No one knew that the Demon Emperor had a very good relationship with Jiang Feng of the Spirit Vulture Race before he inherited the throne.
In fact, if it wasn't for Jiang Feng's support, the Demon Emperor would not have been able to stand out from so many competitors and become the sole ruler of the Demon Race.
"Your Majesty, I really don't want this matter to be made public. In fact, even if you didn't mention it, I've already made plans. If the Nether Palace really starts a war, I'm confident that the entire race will launch a counterattack against the Nether Palace and catch them off guard."
Jiang Feng's words were powerful and clear. It was obvious that there was no exaggeration in his words. The Demon Emperor also sighed when he heard this.
One should not wash one's dirty linen in public. Of course, he could understand his uncle's thoughts.
The other party was willing to sacrifice the entire clan in exchange for the peace of the Demon Race.
However, if these words were spoken to the elders of the other clans, they would definitely not believe it.
Everyone had their own selfish motives, and there was no such thing as sacrificing oneself for the life and death of others.
As for the Demon Emperor, the reason why he had chosen to reveal everything in the main hall was, in fact, for the sake of the Spirit Vulture Tribe. If others discovered what the Spirit Vulture Tribe had done, they would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being wiped out.
But now, after he took the initiative to reveal everything, he had left some leeway for the situation to turn around.
"Uncle Jiang Feng, you won't blame me for doing this, right?" The Demon Emperor revealed an apologetic look on his face before he bowed respectfully to the old man in front of him.
"For the stability and strength of the Demon Race, it is understandable for you to do this. To be honest, I have to thank you. This is the only way to protect our clan." Jiang Feng's face revealed a look of relief. Then, he suddenly slapped the top of his head with his right hand.
"Your Majesty, I believe that under your leadership, the Demon Race will definitely become stronger and more prosperous."
After saying this, Jiang Feng's body suddenly fell heavily to the ground.
"Don't worry, the Spirit Vulture Race will not go extinct because of this. Uncle Jiang Feng, watch from the sky and see how the Demon Race will destroy the ambitious Netherworld Palace and avenge you!"
