The Blood-sucking Demon King was a tall man. His skin was paler than chalk, and he wore a black cloak.
He glanced at the fear on his subordinates' faces, bent down, and touched the red fur on the Jackal God's body.
"Don't panic. The Jackal God was cursed."
"Cursed?"
Everyone was stunned.
The Blood-sucking Demon King continued, "I've seen similar curses before. They're common in Egypt and are left behind by the pharaohs after their deaths. The Jackal God was probably cursed in the pyramid ruins half a year ago."
"This kind of curse doesn't react when it's first contracted. Instead, it lurks in the victim's body for a long time, and only acts when the time is right."
The Wolf God and the others were enlightened. "I see!"
They thought that Gengok had killed the Jackal God from afar with some unimaginable means. They didn't expect it to be a misunderstanding.
Since the Jackal God was cursed, they weren't afraid anymore.
"The ancient pharaohs of Egypt are really vicious. They're not content even after death. They left behind such a curse!" the Wolf God said angrily. He was completely different from the scared husky he had been before.
The other three demon gods were also angry, and they scolded the Egyptian pharaohs for their despicable behavior.
Now that they calmed down and thought about it carefully, the four demon gods felt that their fear was ridiculous and unreasonable. They were like birds that were startled by the twang of a bow.
The Jackal God couldn't have been killed by Gengok. Gengok didn't have the ability to do so, and Gengok couldn't have known the location of the Cave of the Demon Gods. No country in the world knew.
If Gengok knew the location of the Cave of the Demon Gods, he wouldn't have just killed the Jackal God. He would have sent a round of missiles to bombard the place.
"Bury the Jackal God's body," the Blood-sucking Demon King ordered his subordinates.
"I'm going to go into seclusion for the next two days. Don't disturb me unless there's something important. If Gengok still doesn't agree to our terms in two days … then wipe out one of their cities."
His calm tone was full of murderous intent.
"Yes!"
The four demon gods bowed respectfully and watched the Blood-sucking Demon King leave the secret chamber. His tall figure was gradually swallowed by the darkness of the cave.
…
When he returned to the place of seclusion, there was no one around him. A solemn look finally appeared on the Blood-sucking Demon Monarch's expressionless face.
He had simply made up the curse to appease his subordinates. In fact, he did not know how the Jackal God had died or who had killed him.
Gengok was the most suspicious. After all, he was one of the most powerful countries in the world, with five thousand years of history. It was understandable that he would have some incredible means to kill his enemies.
If it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to provoke this terrifying country.
However, he had no other choice. He had to obtain the Crimson Fox Immortal. The Crimson Fox Immortal was the manifestation of the Power of Will of countless foxes in Oz. Now, all he needed to do was to obtain all of the Power of Will from the Crimson Fox Immortal. Then, he would be able to ignite the divine fire and ascend the altar, becoming an existence like the ancient gods.
Becoming a god was his greatest ambition. In order to achieve this goal, he was willing to do anything.
"Is Gengok really unwilling to agree to my terms because the status of the Extraordinaire who killed the Dog God is too high and he can't hand him over?"
The Blood-sucking Demon Monarch asked himself. He had heard of this conclusion drawn by the Western countries.
However, he also felt that this was not the reason. If the Extraordinaire's status was too high, Gengok could easily find a scapegoat. As long as the Crimson Fox Immortal was real, he could turn a blind eye to everything else.
Could it be that Gengok's higher-ups were so stubborn that they wanted to save face and were unwilling to do something as humiliating as finding a scapegoat?
The Blood-sucking Demon Monarch frowned at this thought.
He had some understanding of Gengok's culture. He knew that this country was very strong and wanted to save face. During the time of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, they had implemented a national policy of no marriage and no ceding of land.
After thinking for a while, the Blood-sucking Demon Monarch took out his phone and sent a message to the Wolf God. "I'll warn Gengok one last time. They can choose not to hand over the Extraordinaire who killed the Dog God, but they must hand over the Crimson Fox Immortal. This is our last concession."
"Gengok, I hope you don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. If you piss me off, you won't have a good ending!"
The Blood-sucking Demon Monarch whispered. In order to get the Crimson Fox Immortal, he would do anything crazy.
He had already prepared two options. First, Gengok would hand over the Crimson Fox Immortal, and the grudges between them would be written off.
Second, Gengok would not even be willing to hand over the Crimson Fox Immortal, or hand over a Crimson Fox Immortal without willpower. If that happened, the Blood-sucking Demon Monarch would use all his resources to take revenge.
Although he told Gengok that he would randomly wipe out a city, the Blood-sucking Demon Monarch had already determined which city to wipe out. It was the Dragon City where the Dog God died. Since the Dog God died in Dragon City, it meant that the Crimson Fox Immortal was most likely in Dragon City as well.
"Which option should I choose? I'll decide in two days."
…
Dragon City.
On the street, in the van.
Lu Haoran frowned so hard that his eyebrows were almost connected. It had been ten minutes since the Realm Master returned to the Internet café, and he still could not figure out what the Realm Master was trying to tell him.
What was the Realm Master trying to tell him?
He reorganized his thoughts from the beginning. The Realm Master first reached out and patted the air, as if he was chasing away flies and mosquitoes.
Then, he smiled to himself.
The essence was in this smile!
It meant that the Realm Master was trying to tell him something that would make him happy, and even … make him happy.
Then, what was it that would make the Realm Master and himself happy at the same time?
Lu Haoran caught the crux of the problem, and the words "Demon God's Cave" naturally appeared in his mind!
If there was a common enemy between the Realm Master and Gengok, it would be the Demon God's Cave!
Lu Haoran immediately thought of the flood of public opinion on the Internet. The next moment, he quickly took out his phone and browsed through a random website forum.
The rumor posts that had been spreading since the wee hours of the morning had disappeared completely, and not a single post could be seen!
Lu Haoran then opened the Weibo account that had been hacked, and the trending topic "City Massacre" that was pinned at the top had also disappeared!
A bold guess appeared in his mind. He turned around and ordered his subordinates in the backseat, "Go online and find a post related to the City Massacre!"
Everyone was stunned. Why would they want to find that kind of post?
Wasn't that a plot by the Demon God's Cave and some western countries against Gengok? It had been spreading since the wee hours of the morning, and the National Security Department had taken action, but it was still endless.
After they came back to their senses, they did not ask any more questions. They obediently took out their phones and searched for the post that the Head had asked for.
But as they searched, they were suddenly shocked!
