In the Otherworldly Demonic Kingdom …
In a sealed room, there were countless restrictions placed all around, preventing anyone from probing with their Spiritual Perception.
Peng!
The sound of someone slamming on the table echoed in the room. Following which, a middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows rose to his feet furiously.
"Treason! This is treason!"
"The Three Sovereigns of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe are supposed to look out for one another, but he broke this rule and colluded with the humans to assassinate Sovereign Chen Yong. He's the scum of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe! The men of our Otherworldly Demonic Tribe must band together to overthrow the puppet regime! "
A young Otherworldly Demon swept his gaze across the crowd and bellowed furiously.
If Zhang Xuan were here, he would surely recognize the young man to be his student who had infiltrated the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe … Liu Yang!
At this very moment, a group of 'ambitious individuals' was gathered to report the crimes of Sovereign Chen Ling and Sovereign Chen Xing.
A month ago, when Sovereign Chen Ling returned, he had announced to the world that Sovereign Chen Yong had been ambushed by the experts of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, and he and Sovereign Chen Xing had sustained severe injuries in order to save the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
Back then, everyone had thought that it was true, but as more and more experts of the human race entered the Subterranean Gallery, another piece of news began to spread. It was said that Sovereign Chen Ling and the Hundred Schools of Philosophers had worked together to kill Sovereign Chen Yong.
Initially, everyone thought that the news was intentionally spread by the humans in order to instigate internal strife in the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. However, when Sovereign Chen Ling took control of Sovereign Chen Yong's army and massacred the commanders of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, they began to realize that something was amiss.
Two hours ago, Sovereign Chen Yong, the successor whom he was most proud of, had gathered all of them together and told them everything that had happened. It was only then that everyone came to a realization and flew into a rage.
The reason why the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe was able to dominate the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and strike fear into the hearts of the humans was due to the Three Sovereigns of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. Yet, they were actually working together with the humans to plot against one another. This was an unforgivable crime!
"Sovereign Chen Ling and Sovereign Chen Xing are powerful Ancient Sages. so what if we know about it? There's no way we can stand against them! "
An Otherworldly Demon shook his head helplessly.
However, no matter how severely injured Sovereign Chen Ling and Sovereign Chen Xing were, they were still Ancient Sage pinnacle experts. They were not existences that a bunch of Great Sages like them could deal with.
The three Monarchs were able to control the world not only because of their authority and means, but more importantly, because of their unshakable strength.
"I'm aware of that as well. However, there's no need to worry. Since Sovereign Chen Yong is still alive, he'll definitely return to deal with the traitors. All we have to do is to control the chaos and deploy our forces in the surroundings so as to prevent the world from falling into chaos!"
Liu Yang said.
"That's right. We can't control the battle between the peak experts, but we can control the Spirit Race and prevent any accidents from happening!"
"Once chaos ensues, it is very likely that the human race will seize the opportunity to encircle and annihilate us. The Spiriters' tens of thousands of years of history may very well be destroyed!"
The Otherworldly Demons nodded in agreement.
They were unable to interfere in the battle between the three Monarchs, but they could control one side and minimize the damage brought by the chaos.
"Since everyone is of the same mind, we can consider this alliance to be established. Since it's an alliance, it's only natural for us to have a leader who's in charge. Otherwise, if everyone were to act on their own, it would only lead to chaos!"
Seeing that everyone agreed with his point of view, Liu Yang heaved a sigh of relief.
"Of course we need an alliance leader. Brother Yang, you are the successor of Sovereign Chen Yong, and your cultivation is the highest among us. Naturally, the position of alliance leader will go to you!"
"You're the only one who can lead us to regain control of the situation!"
…
The crowd clasped their fists.
Other than the Ancient Sages, Liu Yang was the most popular candidate. Otherwise, Sovereign Chen Yong would have long killed him and made him the alliance leader.
"Since that's the case, I won't turn you down then. I just hope that everyone will remember this …"
Liu Yang clenched his fists tightly and placed them before his chest. With an unwavering determination, he declared, "Everything is for the sake of the Spirit Race!"
Back in the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, his name was not Liu Yang but Yang Liu. The 'Brother Yang' that everyone addressed was him.
In any case, he was not too famous among the humans. Given that his name had been reversed, there was no one who knew him.
As for the matter of gathering all of the powers in the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, it was his teacher who had instructed him to do so before heading to Sovereign Chen Ling's palace.
"Everything is for the sake of the Spirit Race!"
Everyone rose to their feet in agitation.
As expected of the successor favored by Sovereign Chen Yong, he was indeed a pillar of support for the Spirit Race!
Seeing that everyone was willing to submit to him, Liu Yang was just about to continue speaking when he suddenly flicked his wrist. "Now that the alliance has been established, let's first decide what we should do …"
Hu!
A Communication Jade Token materialized in his palm. Taking a look at it, his eyes immediately narrowed.
An Otherworldly Demon turned to Liu Yang and asked, "Alliance Leader, what's going on?"
"Sovereign Chen Ling has been capturing Saint realm cultivators and sacrificing their lives on the altar in the city. It's said that he has already killed thirty thousand of them …"
Liu Yang clenched his fists tightly.
"Thirty thousand?"
"That's a beast!"
Unable to hold themselves back any longer, the crowd in the room stood up in unison.
No matter how talented the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe was, there were still only a handful of them who had reached Saint realm. To sacrifice the lives of their brethren, and on top of that, tens of thousands of them at once … Was that fellow insane?
"Alliance Leader, what should we do now?"
Everyone turned to look at Liu Yang, who was standing at the center of the room.
"Using the lives of his brethren and artifacts as a sacrifice, it seems like he's trying to pray to the Spirit God to recover from his injuries!" Liu Yang said.
The crowd nodded in agreement.
Sovereign Chen Ling's injuries were extremely severe, and it would take a very long time for him to recuperate on his own. In fact, it might even be impossible for him to make a full recovery in his entire life.
However, the cost of a sacrifice was simply too great, especially in order to obtain energy. Not only did it require treasures, it also required fresh blood.
There were rules in the world, and everything had to be fair. In order to obtain something, one had to pay a price. Even the gods were no exception to this rule.
Knowing that Sovereign Chen Ling had killed tens of thousands of cultivators, it was clear that he was conducting a huge sacrifice.
"What we have to do now is to gather our men to stop him from carrying out the sacrifice. Otherwise, it'll be too late!"
Liu Yang harrumphed.
"Alright!"
The crowd nodded in agreement.
They had to stop the sacrifice at all costs. Otherwise, once the sacrifice succeeded, they would be unable to retaliate even if they wanted to.
Boom boom boom!
Just as Liu Yang was about to break the restrictions in the room to stop Sovereign Chen Ling from carrying out the sacrifice, the ground suddenly trembled. Rushing out of the room, he turned his gaze toward the source of the rumbling, only to see a powerful explosion emanating from the very center of the capital, where Sovereign Chen Ling was conducting the sacrifice.
There was an explosion here. Could it be that the sacrificial ceremony had failed?
"What's going on?"
Unable to hold himself back any longer, Liu Yang turned to the guards in the courtyard.
One of the guards exclaimed in agitation, "It's Sovereign Chen Yong! Sovereign Chen Yong isn't dead! He's back!"
