"… You have to help this prince complete a task and make a contribution. Only then will you be able to receive this reward legitimately and convince everyone!"
The Skyfall Demon King's words caused all the demons and demons in the hall to be dumbfounded! Sometimes, when it came to benefits or even politics, the dead could be said to be alive, and the living could be said to be dead. A gentleman could become a villain, and a villain could become a scoundrel.
The inheritance of the Shadow Demon God was naturally something that no one could accept, because the power of the inheritance was too strong. Without obtaining the power contained within, as well as the various cultivation methods and secret techniques, they would have already been stuffed to the point of exploding. However, the evil of jealousy was simply incomprehensible to others. Even if they couldn't obtain it, no one else could. This was an extremely selfish and narrow-minded way of thinking. However, it was undeniable that there were many people who had such thoughts that harmed others without benefiting themselves.
Sly Hand was merely a half-human half-demon. Who would have thought that he would be able to withstand the power of the Shadow Demon God's inheritance and obtain the powerful inheritance that they coveted. In such a situation, coupled with the fact that the super top grade cultivation furnace was also taken by him. Furthermore, he had clearly become a weapon in the hands of the Fallen Demon King. As for them, they were very dissatisfied with the Fallen Demon King's rule. No, it should be said that they had never truly submitted to him from the very beginning.
Thus, with all these factors combined, these monsters and demons were extremely unhappy. On the surface, the Fallen Demon King had invited them over to discuss some matters. It looked very democratic, with everyone participating in important matters and making decisions together. However, from the beginning to the end, he was the only one singing a one-man show. Not only that, but he also showed them that Chu Rui was a sharp sword that was about to take shape after being sharpened. He took this opportunity to beat them, who had different thoughts because of the once-in-ten-thousand-years calamity that was about to descend upon the human world!
However, these were all done in secret, and everyone had a tacit understanding. Even if everyone knew, sometimes politics was like this. Even if they knew that the things that made them unhappy were done by the person in front of them who was shaking their hands and chatting with them, they could only feign civility. Before they completely fell out with him, they had no choice but to force a smile. Wasn't this also a form of sorrow?
The Fallen Heaven Demon King knew that even though he could cover the sky with one hand, these subordinates of his didn't completely submit to him. It was only because of this special place that they had no choice but to band together in order to stay united and save their lives. If the Great Tribulation were to come, once the Battlefield of Gods and Devils descended upon the Mortal Realm, even though he was strong enough to defeat these arrogant experts, he simply did not have the strength and courage to subdue them willingly. At that time, he would become a commander without an army.
It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!
Fallen Sky Demon King had been in power for so many years and was used to giving orders. Once he lost that power, it would be too difficult for him to gather so many outstanding subordinates and form a force like Fallen Sky Demon Peak. In the Demon Race and Yao Race, strength was the only thing that mattered. Chu Rui was only twenty years old, but he was already so capable. Moreover, he was still able to grow up. This gave him an opportunity, an opportunity that he could completely grasp in his hands. In the future, he would definitely be able to help him complete his hegemony. That was why he put on such a show just now. Not only was he beating these unruly subordinates to be more obedient, but he was also testing Chu Rui.
"…"
Faced with the Fallen Sky Demon King's one-man show, Chu Rui didn't disturb him. He only protected Long Xia behind him and looked at him calmly. The Fallen Sky Demon King could already see Chu Rui's determination from his eyes. Even if Chu Rui didn't say anything, he knew that Chu Rui had already agreed.
Since ancient times, there were many ways for a superior to control his subordinates. However, in summary, there was no more than one sentence — use the carrot and stick!
He had already used the carrot and stick previously. Yes, letting Long Xia go was a favor!
After this, Chu Rui would definitely be deeply grateful to him. In addition, Long Xia was still in Fallen Sky Demon Peak. In that case, Chu Rui would never be disloyal. It could be said that the Fallen Sky Demon King was completely certain and had already grasped Chu Rui tightly. That's right. If the situation was really like what was happening now, then it was indeed so. However, what the Fallen Sky Demon King never expected was that Chu Rui came with a motive right from the start. He was pretending, and what he wanted was not something he could give. Therefore, his plan was destined to be a waste of effort.
"The bunch of hypocrites on Nezha Peak have been restless recently and have the momentum to launch an all-out attack on Fallen Sky Demon Peak. That immature child has already sent his capable subordinate, Golden Celestial Rhinoceros, as the vanguard and has already rushed to the front line. Your mission is to kill Golden Celestial Rhinoceros and cause chaos in his army! "
Once the Fallen Sky Demon King said that, the entire hall fell silent again. Previously, they were still thinking that the Fallen Sky Demon King's request for Chu Rui to complete the mission was just a formality. However, when they heard what the Fallen Sky Demon King said, they were instantly shocked.
On this palm-sized Battlefield of Gods and Demons, the two forces of Gods and Demons had long been thoroughly understood. Golden Celestial Rhinoceros was something that all the demons here knew about. When two armies fought, other than the right time, place, and people, there were many other important factors. First of all, the most crucial one was morale! To be able to be sent as the vanguard, his strength was naturally top-notch so that he would not appear weak! Golden Celestial Rhinoceros's strength, not to mention other things, would not lose to any of the three Great Demon Kings here.
A Golden Celestial was equivalent to a Demon General or a Demon General. Such a powerful existence was actually sent by a pitifully weak guy like Chu Rui to assassinate him? If they did not know that Chu Rui was a chess piece that the Fallen Sky Demon King cared about a lot, they would have suspected that this fellow was using Golden Celestial Rhinoceros to get rid of Chu Rui!
Ignoring this group of ferocious-looking demons and demons here, Chu Rui turned around, carried Long Xia up, and left the hall without saying a word.
After returning to his own residence, Chu Rui quietly sensed his surroundings. After confirming that no one was watching him, he took out the hidden Heart of Prohibition. The power of the Love of the Star and Moon was activated and quietly seeped into Long Xia's mind, who was already in a daze.
It's out?
Seeing that he had successfully extracted a little bit of Long Xia's mind power, Chu Rui's expression was extremely complicated.
