As soon as Gu Qing Shan and Lola finished talking, Empress Li Yang called him over.
"What is it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I'm going to summon the evil fiends soon, come here, I'll tell you a few things to take note of"
"Very well"
Gu Qing Shan's expression also became serious.
This was the most important thing, there couldn't be any mistakes.
Empress Li Yang continued: "Since you're about to break through Sainted realm, during this Tribulation, there will be four kinds of fiends and four kinds of fiends that will jointly control the 8 Seats of Tribulation"
"That's why I need to talk to them?"
"Yes"
"Tell me the details"
"The four fiends are Flame-eater Fiends, Shadow Beasts, Asura, and Tianma"
"The four kinds of fiends are Hungry Fiends, Huang Quan Fiends, Blood Devouring Fiends, and Mala Fiends"
"These 8 Fiend Kings and Devil Kings will jointly control the 8 Seats of Tribulation to stop you from breaking through and drag you into death"
"What do you mean by Seats of Tribulation?"
"The Seats of Tribulation represent authority, allowing you to command fiends or fiends like yourself within the Tribulation"
"Billions of worlds, countless Devil and Devil realms, whichever realm's ruler comes first will obtain the Seat of Tribulation"
"First come, first served?"
"Yes, but only the ruler of a Devil or Devil realm, and with the status of a ruler, is qualified to obtain the Seat of Tribulation"
Empress Li Yang continued: "The 8 Seats of Tribulation mean that there will be 4 Fiend Kings and 4 Devil Kings, they will command their own kind in order to kill you within the Tribulation"
Gu Qing Shan sighed: "The Tribulation is quite particular when it comes to killing people"
『Fortunately』 Empress Li Yang smiled and said: 『This time, my mother came first. She is an esteemed personage of the Primordial Wraith Realm, with her arriving first, no matter how many Tianma come later, they will have to follow the Law of Tribulation and obey her orders』
Gu Qing Shan looked at the Progenitor Fiendess.
The Progenitor nodded at him and said: "You don't need to worry about the Tianma, you need to convince the other 7 leaders"
"Thank you, Your Excellency." Gu Qing Shan cupped her fists and bowed.
「 Alright, let's start with the simplest target. Flame-eater Demon's mind is the simplest, but it's also very powerful and likes to destroy everything, so if it hears that there are 200 million souls, it would definitely agree 」 Li Yang explained.
She formed a seal with both hands and chanted a summoning incantation.
Not long after, the void emitted a blazing flame.
A gruff voice rang out.
"Who is calling me?"
A black monster covered in flames jumped out of the void.
"This is a Flame-eater Devil King that we have a good relationship with."
Li Yang quickly sent her voice to Gu Qing Shan.
The Flame-eater Devil King looked around and saw Gu Qing Shan. He immediately understood.
"Ah, so you're asking me to kill the cultivators who are going through the tribulation together …"
At this point, it could not continue.
It looked at the Skyfiends and saw that they were all people it knew.
But the Tianma Empress was standing next to the cultivator, several Great Tianma were surrounding them, as well as the rare Progenitor Fiendess.
Such a powerful force, yet the cultivator who was going through the tribulation was completely calm, neither side showing any signs of attacking.
The Flame-eater Devil King looked around for a while, still not understanding what was going on and muttered: 『Heaven's Tribulation above, did I come to the wrong place?』
At this point, Empress Li Yang came forward and began to explain.
『It's like this …』
Following her explanation, the Flame-eater Devil King realized.
『What! 200 million souls?』
『That's right, do you agree to help us? If you do, the only price you have to pay is that you don't touch the cultivator who's going through the tribulation, he's one of us』
『Of course that's no problem, but how do you plan to split the 200 million souls?』
『Of course, whoever takes the most gets to keep them』 Li Yang explained.
The Flame-eater Devil King calmed down and loudly declared: 『Very well, it's a deal』
Empress Li Yang looked at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan gave her a Saint Bramble Tree leaf.
Empress Li Yang explained again.
Thinking about the 200 million souls, the Flame-eater Devil King happily swore a vow to the Saint Bramble Tree leaf.
『Very well, did you get the Seat of Tribulation?』 Empress Li Yang asked one last time.
『I can already sense it's Seat of Tribulation』 Harpy Mother cut in.
『Ah, that's right, the Tianma's Seat of Tribulation this time belongs to madam Harpy Mother?』 the Flame-eater Devil King carefully asked.
『That's me, but don't worry, I won't fight over the souls with you juniors』 Harpy Mother answered.
『Ahahaha, then thank you madam Harpy Mother』
Saying so, the Flame-eater Devil King returned to the void of space.
According to the plan they discussed just now, he would summon his subordinates and come back when the Tribulation officially begins.
『There are 6 left, who should we summon next?』 Gu Qing Shan asked.
Li Yang seemed to have run into a problem and scowled: 『The Shadow Fiend King, a sly and greedy bastard』
『Greedy?』
『That's right, he's the greediest of the 4 Fiends this time』
『Then summon him, I like greedy business partners. Not to mention, you're not the only one doing business, I'll also speak up when necessary』 Gu Qing Shan said.
『Very well』
Li Yang then changed her hand seal and chanted the Shadow Fiend Summoning Incantation.
A few moments later, a dark shadow appeared on the square.
This shadow slowly stood up in front of Li Yang.
It was about 8 meters tall, its entire body was made of shadows, almost like an unknown abyss of darkness.
But in reality, it was a Shadow Fiend, and the King of all Shadow Fiends.
『Lightning Tribulation? Strange, it doesn't look like it's going to kill anyone. Empress Li Yang, why did you summon me here?』 the Shadow Fiend King asked.
Empress Li Yang then told it what happened again.
『200 million souls … wait a moment …』 the Shadow Fiend King spoke.
Gusts of black wind came from its body and entered the void of space.
It seemed to be contacting other worlds, trying to find out something.
A few moments later, it suddenly looked up: 『So this is a crucial battle, I can agree to your request, but the conditions can't be that simple』
『What conditions do you want?』 Li Yang asked.
『You know, the thing we Shadow Fiends love the most isn't souls, but money!』 the Shadow Fiend King replied.
Li Yang looked at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan looked at Lola.
Lola casually tossed a cup to her.
Gu Qing Shan received the cup to see that it was the [Endless Golden Sand Grail].
Gu Qing Shan gave the cup to Li Yang and whispered something.
Li Yang nodded and tipped the cup over.
Glittering golden sand poured out from the cup, falling to the ground with a 'sha sha sha' sound.
『Ah, what a pleasant sound』 the Shadow Fiend King muttered.
The golden sand poured out very quickly, forming a small pile in just a few moments, and as time passed, the pile of sand continued to grow.
『Gold … is this the legendary [Endless Golden Sand Grail]?』 the Shadow Fiend King asked.
『That's right』 Li Yang replied.
『You're even willing to pay such a price … very well, seeing how sincere you are, I can agree, but you still need to fulfill one other small request of mine』 the Shadow Fiend King smiled and said.
Li Yang's expression changed and was about to say something.
But she kept her mouth shut.
Because Gu Qing Shan had already acted before she did.
At some unknown point, Gu Qing Shan had already pressed the Earth sword against the Shadow Fiend King's neck.
An invisible wind drifted around the Earth sword.
At this moment, the Earth sword was filled with Soul Points!
The Shadow Fiend King smirked: 『Are you threatening me? Unfortunately, you can't kill me, I have 9000 bodies』
『Stinking brat, I'm going to stand right here without moving or putting up any defenses, I'm going to let you kill me』
"You're not going to defend? I'm going to let you kill me?』 Gu Qing Shan repeated.
The Shadow Fiend King's voice became low: 『But I'm going to say this first, if you dare to attack me, I will do everything in my power to kill you during the Tribulation!』
Gu Qing Shan nodded and swung her sword.
The Shadow Fiend uttered a desperate scream and angrily spoke: 『You dare — —』
Before it could finish, its body had already collapsed and disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan put her sword away.
He said to Li An: "Continue, call it again."
Li Yang was a bit surprised: 『But you've already attacked, it probably won't come again』
『If it's really that greedy, it will definitely come again』
『Why not?
』『Losing a body for nothing, even I wouldn't be willing to do that, and it would be even more unwilling』
『… Fine then』
Li Yang formed another hand seal and summoned the Shadow Fiend King.
A few moments later — — -
A black shadow once again stood up from the floor of the square.
『Brat, you actually dared to attack, very well, very well』 the Shadow Fiend King spoke.
Its presence continued to rise, as if preparing for something.
Gu Qing Shan calmly told it: 『First of all, the other Seats of Tribulation have already formed a covenant with me, you can ask the Progenitor about this』
The Shadow Fiend King couldn't help but look at the Progenitor Fiendess.
The Progenitor unconsciously nodded.
Seeing that, the Shadow Fiend King couldn't help but feel shocked.
If all seven Demon Kings stand on the other side, wouldn't I become the target of everyone during the Tribulation?
But since I've already obtained the Seat of Tribulation, according to the Law of the Tribulation, I will definitely be summoned here.
Do I have to bring my subordinates to face the combined attacks of all seven Demon Kings?
This will be as difficult as the Tribulation itself …
— — wait a minute, who the fuck is facing the Tribulation?
『I can even bribe the seven Demon Kings, even the Endless Golden Sand Grail, do you really think I'm afraid of the Tribulation?』
Gu Qing Shan smirked and continued: 『As long as you dare to come and attack me, I guarantee that everyone will kill you first — — - no matter how many bodies you have』
『You won't get a share of the 200 million souls, and you won't get the Endless Golden Sand Grail』
"You should go. Come back when the Heavenly Tribulation begins. At that time, we'll have a good fight and see who dies."
Gu Qing Shan declared in one breath.
Silence.
The Shadow Fiend King remained silent.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan spoke again: 『If you really want to talk business, then our conditions are the same as before, at most, we'll give you a few demonized corpses as a bonus』
『Now, make your choice. Do you want to fight against us Demon Kings, or do you want to split the souls and treasures with us』
The crowd remained silent.
A few moments later.
Gu Qing Shan continued: 『This is your last chance, if you don't want to join, we'll start right away』
『Alright, you don't want to join? Then you can leave, we'll prepare to fight — —』
『Wait a minute! 』 The Shadow Fiend King changed his tone and smirked: 『It's business after all, we need to let people think about whether or not it's worth it, don't you think so?』
『That's a good point, I also like to make money in peace』 Gu Qing Shan also smiled and tossed a Saint Bramble Tree leaf over.
『Very well, here's the contract, sign it』
『No problem, when can you give me the Golden Sand Grail?』
『I'll give it to you after I sign it』
『Then I'll sign it』
…
The Shadow Fiend King happily left with the Endless Golden Sand Grail in hand.
『How did you know it would sign?』 Li Yang asked.
『You said that it's the greediest, so as long as it comes, it means that it's unwilling to give up and wants to gain some benefits, not to be killed by others』
『On one side is the 200 million souls and the Endless Golden Sand Grail, on the other side is being surrounded by everyone, I think it's still rational』
Gu Qing Shan smiled and continued: 『That's why I like dealing with greedy opponents — — - their choices aren't usually too complicated』
Li Yang sighed and shook her head: 『I don't think you're human』
『Why is that?』 Gu Qing Shan asked.
