Incitement
"Push him down."
Black Dragon frowned, then pointed at the laughing demons behind Bale.
Black Dragon furrowed his brows, then pointed at the laughing demon behind Bale in front of the altar and bellowed, "Bale, you're the Demon King!"
The demons were loyal to Black Dragon, but they knew full well of Bale's illustrious military exploits.
They were loyal to Black Dragon, but they knew full well of Bale's illustrious military exploits.
Fwoosh.
A blazing flame burst out from the altar, and the scorching heat swept past Bale as if it was about to swallow him whole and melt him.
The rubble beneath Bale's feet fell to the ground in a puff of white smoke.
Bale stared fixedly at the nearby elder. Then he laughed, a heart-wrenching laugh …..
"Su Yiyun, don't think that no one knows about your tricks. His Majesty may be bewitched by you now, but one day, he'll definitely come to his senses. You ….. I'll say it again: I'll wait for you on the road to the Yellow Springs. "
Bale closed his eyes and stretched out one of his legs. His tone instantly became low and deep.
"Wait."
A commotion broke out in the crowd of demons below the altar. Not long after, the figure of a woman appeared in the crowd.
When he saw her, Su Yiyun furrowed his brows, then lowered his head, maintaining his cool demeanor.
"Min 'e," said Black Dragon.
"Your Majesty." Li Min 'e knelt on one knee before Black Dragon, then frowned. "I've come to plead on Bale's behalf."
"You ….."
Right now, the Black Dragon was bent on executing Bale. The temptation of absolute power had already twisted his heart a little.
In truth, the ones he wanted to sacrifice the most were the Twelve Demon Sovereigns.
They were the demons' most elite fighting force. If he sacrificed them, the effects would be far better than if he sacrificed them to the body refiners and spiritual bodies.
Perhaps if he sacrificed them, he would be able to directly step into the Supreme-Being Stage.
If it were any other Demon Sovereign, he might've just thrown them into Bale's group and sacrificed them as well. But Li Min 'e was different. She was Su Yiyun's rightful wife.
"Brother Su, what do you ….."
Unable to make up his mind, Black Dragon shifted his gaze to Su Yiyun and asked in a probing manner.
"Min 'e, why are you here?" Only then did Su Yiyun speak. His voice was weak and feeble; it was obvious he was already at the end of his rope.
"Can I not come?" Li Min 'e bit her lips. "Yiyun, do you know that your current actions will incur the wrath of the heavens? Do you know what you are doing? Hundreds of thousands of Devil Race people are going to jump into the fire sacrifice just because of your words? Now that you want the Twelve Demon Sovereigns to perform the Fire Sacrifice, does that mean that I will also have to perform the Fire Sacrifice in a few days? "
"Don't be unreasonable. Hurry up and go back," berated Su Yiyun.
"I'm being unreasonable? Which one of us is the unreasonable one! Yiyun, do you know why I fell in love with you back in the Modern Realm? It's because I love you, because I love you for your loyalty and righteousness. But look at you now … "
Li Min 'e looked ahead with a pained expression. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Cold-blooded, heartless … You've even started using living people as sacrifices. Yiyun, let's stop. It's not too late to stop now. In fact, I blame myself. I was the one who implanted the memories of the Array Grandmaster into your sea of consciousness. In order to study Spirit Arrays, you overdrafted too much of your life force. Now that you're like a candle in the wind, can't you just live in peace for a few years? "
"Say no more. Didn't you come here to get Bale? Alright, for your sake, I'll spare him. "
With that, Su Yiyun turned to Bale, who stood at the entrance of the Fire Sacrifice.
"I'm not guilty of betraying you. Leave."
Then, he spoke to the Demon Clan members who were waiting for the sacrificial ceremony like livestock.
"Continue the Fire Sacrifice."
"Yiyun," Li Min 'e furrowed her brows.
Su Yiyun ignored her. Instead, he turned to the executioners who'd brought the demons over for the Fire Sacrifice.
"Do you not understand what I'm saying? Continue the Fire Sacrifice."
"Pah! Su Yiyun, who do you think you are? What right do you have to speak so arrogantly? Don't forget, the Demon King is King Black Dragon. King Black Dragon hasn't said anything yet. What the hell are you talking about? "
Bale spat on the ground as he left the altar. He looked at Su Yiyun with disdain and cursed, "You're the one who did this to me.
"That's right."
"Lord Bale is right."
"Why do we have to become the sacrificial pawns?"
"We want to live too."
"We don't want to be sacrificed!"
… …
Bale's words caused the demons beneath the Fire Sacrifice to riot. The surrounding demon guards did their best to suppress them, but there were simply too many people being sacrificed. It seemed they couldn't hold back much longer.
"Bale."
Black Dragon's face was ashen. His entire face was filled with uncontrollable rage.
Su Yiyun smiled calmly. He gently patted Black Dragon on the shoulder, indicating for him to calm down. Then he smiled at Bale.
"Stirring up their emotions. I have to say, you're quite successful."
"Heh …. It wasn't me who stirred them up. That's what they were thinking," snorted Bale.
"You're still the one who stirred them up." Su Yiyun pursed his lips and smiled calmly. "No matter where they are, the common people are weak and ignorant. Before anyone says anything, all they can do is endure and accept. If you hadn't said what you just said, the sacrificial rites might still be proceeding in an orderly fashion. "
"I don't want them to continue. They're weakening the demon race's combat strength. You're harboring evil intentions."
"Is that so?"
Su Yiyun didn't refute him. Instead, he looked down at the rioting demons.
"Everyone, please listen to me for a moment."
As he shouted, Su Yiyun intentionally used the Spirit Concentration Art. Instantly, the crowd below stopped what they were doing.
"As you all know, the demon race's former territory has been taken over by those with wild ambitions. Left with no choice, we can only live in this sub-dimension I created. However …. Perhaps you don't know this, but this isn't a place we can live in for long. It's stable because its creator is still alive. However, what I want to say is that my time is almost up. I'll die soon. "
When Li Min 'e heard this, she almost burst into tears. She'd loved him from start to finish, even though she knew deep down that she'd never been in his heart.
The crowd fell silent. After a long while, someone shouted, "If you're going to die, then die.
"If you want to die, just die. Why do you want us to die with you?"
