The Demon Lord naturally would not die just because of a few words from someone else, as he had a callous personality and an unyielding will.
Of course, generally speaking, even if one didn't have this special trait, no one would die because of someone else's words. This had nothing to do with selfishness, it was related to the nature of life.
But Zhi Zi was worried about Chen Chang Sheng.
Chen Changsheng had been well-versed in the Daoist Canon since he was a child, and he cultivated the Dao of following his heart. His conduct was always different from others, and after the coup of the Mausoleum of Books, there were new changes.
— — He was living too indifferently now.
In other words, before that, he valued his life immensely. Whether it was his diet, his daily life, or his cultivation, they were all based on this aspect. But now, he began to drink alcohol. Although not much, he ate a lot of beef and mutton. Although he still didn't eat much roasted meat, he didn't care as much as before.
He seemed to care more about what he could do with his life.
Thus, he had left the capital for the greater good, becoming the first exiled Pope in history.
That was why he had appeared on the battlefield of the snowy plains last year, fighting bloody battles with the wolf cavalry and almost dying there.
This was why the Cinnabar Pill had appeared.
"After leaving the capital, no, before that, I kept thinking about what I should do now that I could live for so many years. At the very beginning, I wanted to help the Human race on the battlefield, but later I discovered that this wasn't right, because my cultivation and strength weren't enough to change the course of the battle. Although my medical skills weren't bad, they weren't that special when compared to the Divine Priests and doctors of the Sacred Hospital. There was a limit to what one person could do. In the end, I suddenly thought of making the Cinnabar Pill. "
He said to the Demon Lord, "I truly do want to save a few more people, but Sir is still wrong on one point. I have never thought about saving all living beings, as I do not have such a great ability. I can only save those concrete and visible people. Moreover, there is a very important problem. If I use my true blood to refine the Cinnabar Pill to save people, although it is somewhat taxing on my body, it will not cause me to die. You advise me to save all living beings, but I will have to pay the price of death, so I cannot accept your proposal."
The Demon Lord said, "There is some truth in that last sentence."
Chen Chang Sheng said seriously, "Most importantly, you said that eating me can make the demons unable to invade south for hundreds of years. For me, this is meaningless."
The Demon Lord asked, "Oh, why is this meaningless?"
Chen Changsheng replied, "Because we don't care if you go south or not. We were going north in the first place, to Xuelao City."
When he said this, his eyes were wide open and bright, like the endless waters of a lake, so real, and so clean, so convincing.
"As expected of the youngest Pope in history. He's much more hot-blooded and interesting than those old fellows from before. Of course, he's also much more childish."
The Demon Lord smirked at him. "Do you really think that I'm asking for your opinion?"
"You're not asking for my opinion. You're trying to convince me or weaken my will."
Chen Chang Sheng said, "Because you know very well that even if you can kill me, you can't control me as easily as you did in the past. I have the ability to destroy my own body and burn all the blood in my body before you succeed. This will make you gain nothing and lose your last hope."
In truth, he did not say that before the Demon Lord succeeded, he still had a chance to leave.
This was because he did not want to alert the other party in advance. Most importantly, he wanted to try and see if he could bring the other humans here with him.
The Demon Lord calmly gazed at him in silence for a very long time.
The crisp clatter of metal on metal and an even colder voice rang out at the same time.
"You owe us two lives."
Nanke threw the insignia of the Zhu clan and the insignia of the Mount Song Army on the ground in front of Chen Changsheng.
These words were even more sophistry and unreasonable than the Demon Lord's.
Zhizhi pointed at Hai Di and said, "We killed a few of your clan's traitors, and we've also delayed this big guy for you to deal with. How are we going to settle this debt?"
Nanke thought this over, but said nothing.
Chen Changsheng was very gratified.
He had never been skilled at arguing or unreasonable pestering, except in front of Xu Yourong. In this aspect, he was always at a disadvantage against anyone, even the wooden Nanke. Fortunately, he had no lack of experts in this aspect at his side. At the beginning, there was Luoluo, later on, there was Tang Thirty-Six, and now there was Zhizhi.
Nanke seemed to understand something and added, "Putting aside the past, a life for a life is also fair."
Surprised, Zhizhi asked, "Whose life are you prepared to use to exchange for Chen Changsheng's?"
"We won't touch you," Nanke replied. "That's naturally his own life."
Zhizhi asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Nanke calmly replied, "We can kill him now, but if we don't kill him now, we'll be sparing his life and then having him use his life in exchange. This is very fair."
"You can do that?" Zhizhi's eyes widened in disbelief.
Nanke looked at Zhizhi and asked, "You don't understand?"
Zhizhi seriously replied, "Dogfart."
Nanke said, "You have to be reasonable."
Zhizhi said, "You have to be shameless."
There were countless girls in the world, but there was no question that Nanke and Zhizhi were the strongest and most dangerous of them all.
But when they quarreled, they were still two girls. It was rather laughable and made one feel very helpless.
As they spoke, no one noticed that Chen Changsheng had stealthily retreated a few steps.
At this moment, he was only a few steps away from An Hua and the deputy general. He only needed to take two more steps to reach them.
But just when he was prepared to move, a gust of cold wind blew by the lakeshore. The air stirred and countless fragments of light scattered behind him.
The fragments of light condensed in the wind, transforming into a naked beauty and a well-bred girl dressed in a sword gown.
They silently appeared behind An Hua and the deputy general, their hands on their throats.
Ignoring Zhizhi, Nanke expressionlessly said to Chen Changsheng, "Now, you have three lives."
From the very beginning, Chen Changsheng had been thinking about how to send An Hua and the deputy general away. He had never imagined that Nanke had already seen through his plans and had even made arrangements beforehand. This made him feel rather regretful. He thought, since Nanke has appeared, how could I have forgotten about Nanke's two wings?
Zhizhi angrily called out.
She had argued with Nanke in order to cover Chen Changsheng's movements, but she had failed, so she couldn't help but feel somewhat angry.
The nude demon beauty gently wrapped her arms around An Hua's neck, a pair of demon horns faintly visible amidst her waterfall of black hair. Paired with her beautiful and picturesque appearance, she was incomparably alluring. Zhizhi's little face reddened, and she spat again, saying, "Shameless masters indeed have shameless maids."
These two beauties were spiritual bodies, which was why they had been able to hide from his and Zhizhi's senses and stealthily alter the situation.
It was also precisely because they were spiritual bodies that they were especially sensitive. Seeing Zhizhi filled them with boundless fear, and even though Zhizhi called them shameless, they did not dare to do anything.
The well-bred girl dressed in the sword gown slightly lowered her head, somewhat uneasy. The naked demon beauty was a little bolder and did not dare to retort. Instead, she chuckled and puffed out her chest, causing her soft parts to stand out even more and her two red spots to stand out even more.
Zhizhi's demonic pupils constricted as she yelled, "If he wasn't here, I would have frozen you and this woman into slags!"
The demon beauty froze, thinking, why does the Dragon Girl also hate the woman she's holding hostage so much?
An Hua was very nervous and couldn't help but raise her head to look.
Zhizhi looked at An Hua and hatefully said, "What are you looking at? Aren't you the one who caused this trouble? "
An Hua's gaze fell on the nearby stretcher. As she looked at the array master on his last breaths, she thought, so many people have died tonight to save this person …
She felt deeply ashamed and lowered her head in silence.
Chen Changsheng looked at Zhizhi and advised, "Is there a need to be so violent?"
Since they were conversing, they naturally looked at each other.
Amidst the chatter, amidst the ice, the two's gazes met.
A voice suddenly resounded without the slightest sign.
This voice was extremely complex, consisting of at least several hundred syllables. It was extremely strange and difficult to understand, and its Qi was extremely distant. It seemed to come from an ancient era and contained an endless amount of information.
This voice came from Zhizhi's lips.
Her expression became abnormally solemn, even divine, and her black dress madly danced in the wind.
A dragon's cry!

(There is something that I think is very important to say to everyone. Two years ago, after the conclusion of the Coming Night novel, for a few technical reasons, the epilogue I wrote ended up being posted on Weibo and in the book review section. I don't know if all my readers have seen it, but last night, I also posted it on the Coming Night novel at the beginning of the novel, in the public section. If everyone is interested, there is no harm in taking a look. If you haven't read the epilogue of Coming Night novel but are a reader of Coming Night novel, I highly recommend everyone to take a look. In addition, there are quite a few loose ends in this chapter, mainly because the words I wanted to write … are all forbidden. There was nothing that could be done, so I could only make it monotonous. I ask for everyone's understanding. Alright, I've said enough nonsense. I wish everyone a happy life and that the stock market is booming.)
