Bang!
The Sky-Devouring Toad's face turned cold as he smashed the table in front of him into pieces. He looked at the White Deer King with a murderous look in his eyes. Then, he surrounded the Daemon Kings as his cold voice echoed in the meeting hall.
"Big Brother's cultivation base is exceedingly high. If anyone dares to bully our Heavenspan Ridge, we'll kill them one by one. If two come, we'll kill a pair. However, if any of you here want to collude with outsiders and betray Big Brother, then don't blame me for disregarding our many years of brotherhood."
The Sky-Devouring Toad had the highest cultivation among the Daemon Kings. His anger naturally silenced the other Daemon Kings. However, their eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. They could not understand why the Sky-Devouring Toad and the King of Qing Qiu were so loyal to Ye Xuan after returning from a trip to the North Sea with Ye Xuan.
Unfortunately, the Sky-Devouring Toad naturally would not tell the Daemon Kings that Ye Xuan was the East Pole Emperor. He was so loyal to Ye Xuan as a gesture of goodwill. When Ye Xuan stepped into the Grand Heavenly Realm and returned to the Celestial Court, the Sky-Devouring Toad would naturally benefit greatly.
Of course, the Sky-Devouring Toad could not say this now. He could only wait for Ye Xuan to reveal his identity.
"Alright, Second Brother. The most important thing now is to send these messengers away. We'll talk about the rest after Big Brother comes out of seclusion," the King of Qing Qiu said with a frown.
The Sky-Devouring Toad's anger subsided when he heard the King of Qing Qiu's words. He also knew that now was not the time for internal strife.
"Let these messengers in. I want to see what these ominous demons are up to," the Sky-Devouring Toad said darkly and ordered the smaller Daemon Kings to leave.
Soon, a large number of footsteps could be heard from outside the hall. Dozens of Daemon Kings strolled into the meeting hall. When they saw the ten Daemon Kings present, there was no fear in their eyes.
"May I know why you have come to the Tongtian Ridge?" the Sky-Devouring Toad asked in a low voice as if he did not know the purpose of these messengers' visit.
"The Black Eagle King under the Old Mother of Mount Wu greets you, seniors."
"The Green Dragon King under the Patriarch Ying Long greets you, seniors."
"The Dragon King under the Mountain Patriarch greets you, seniors."
…
The dozens of Great Demons cupped their fists in greeting. Although they were also Demon Kings, their cultivation levels were not high. The strongest among them was only a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. When they saw the Sky-devouring Toad and the others, they naturally had to greet them as juniors.
Of course, as the emissaries of the various ominous devil powers, even though their cultivations weren't high, they represented their own powers. So, they naturally wouldn't bow and scrape before the Heaven Devouring Toad and the others, and they instead emanated an overbearing aura.
"I wonder which one of you is Great Sage Beichen?" The Dark Hawk King clasped his fist and spoke coldly. He constantly observed the Sky-devouring Toad and the others, but he failed to find any traces of Ye Xuan. His face became even more sunken.
"My big brother is in seclusion. I am in charge of the Tongtian Ridge now. No matter what you have to say, just tell me," the Sky-Devouring Toad said with a malicious look in its eyes.
"Alright!"
The Dark Hawk King's lips curled into a cold smile. "On the orders of the Patriarch, we would like to ask the Tongtian Ridge why only Kong Li returned safely after the North Sea Dragon Palace was destroyed and the various Demon Kings died tragically. Senior Sky-devouring, please explain this matter."
The Dark Hawk King sneered. The other emissaries also looked unfriendly. Although they didn't explicitly point out that Kong Li was responsible for this matter, the interrogative intent in their words was clear as day.
"Hmph!"
The Sky-devouring Toad snorted coldly. "What a joke. What does the Demon Kings' tragic deaths and the North Sea Dragon Palace's destruction have to do with the Tongtian Ridge? I'm afraid you've asked the wrong person, haven't you? "
"Asked the wrong person? “
The Mandrill King sneered. "The Demon Kings died tragically, the North Sea Dragon Palace was destroyed, and the Sea Race saw you and King Qing Qiu leave the North Sea Dragon Palace covered in blood. Now you're telling us that this matter has nothing to do with the Tongtian Ridge? Isn't this the biggest joke in the world?"
"That's right. If the Tongtian Ridge doesn't give us an explanation today, I'm afraid the Tongtian Ridge won't even have a chance to explain when our Patriarch comes," the Green Dragon King said coldly.
"How dare you!"
Suddenly, the Sky-devouring Toad roared angrily, causing the entire meeting hall to shake violently. A terrifying demonic light spread out, and it looked at the emissaries with an extremely sinister gaze.
"Sky-devouring Toad, don't think that we're afraid of you just because you're at the peak of the Allheaven realm. Kill us today if you have the ability, but we have to remind you that if we die here, the entire Tongtian Ridge will be buried with us in less than three days," the Dark Hawk King said coldly.
"Second Brother, please don't be rash."
The White Deer King's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly tried to dissuade the Sky-devouring Toad. Obviously, these emissaries couldn't be killed, or they would definitely bring disaster to the Tongtian Ridge.
"Second Brother, please calm down. Fellow Daoists, please calm down. The Tongtian Ridge will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter," the Lionheart King hurriedly tried to dissuade them.
The two Demon Kings had lowered their heads, and this made the emissaries even more fearless.
Although the Tongtian Ridge was considered an overlord of the North Continent, they naturally had to lower their heads in the face of all the demon forces in the North Continent. The emissaries knew this very well, and this was also the reason why they were so confident.
"Hmph, after talking for so long, none of you can make a decision. Since that's the case, call Kong Li out. As long as he gives us a satisfactory explanation, we'll turn around and leave without another word," the Manta King said coldly.
"This … this …?"
The Lionheart King's face flushed red, and he was obviously a little speechless. How could he not want Ye Xuan to come out and resolve this matter?
However, Ye Xuan was currently in seclusion, and before he went into seclusion, he had given strict orders that no one was to disturb him. This made the Lionheart King unsure of how to deal with this matter.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the void rumbled and ripples spread. A demonic light quietly appeared in the meeting hall. When the light dissipated, it revealed Ye Xuan's figure, which made the ten Demon Kings happy.
"Big Brother!"
The Sky-devouring Toad was the first to bow, and the other Demon Kings hurriedly greeted Ye Xuan. However, the emissaries looked at Ye Xuan with an unfriendly expression, obviously knowing that the person who had come was the master of the Tongtian Ridge, Kong Li.
Ye Xuan was unperturbed and indifferent to the emissaries' arrival. He was not surprised at all, as if he had already expected this outcome.
"Kong Li, since you've come out, then it's easy to handle. Please explain how the various Demon Kings died and who was the real culprit behind their deaths?" The Black Hawk King strode forward. He wasn't afraid of Ye Xuan in the slightest, and his voice carried a questioning tone.
Ye Xuan was dressed in black, and his black hair fell behind his head. When he opened and closed his eyes, they were as deep as an ancient pool, and a touch of indifference flashed across his eyes as he looked at the emissaries present.
"I killed them. Is there a problem?"
Ye Xuan seemed to be talking about a very casual matter, but when these words reached the ears of the emissaries, the entire meeting hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Ye Xuan in shock.
