Chapter 2768 - 62: Guests from Afar (3)

Yuan Mengji just mentioned the Yuan Xianting, which is the demon that previously participated in the South Heaven battlefield, confronting both the War God and Duke Huai.

The layers of power involved in this chaotic situation are laid out so clearly in front of him.

And he couldn’t withstand any investigation!

He can fool the likes of Chai Asi and Pig Dali, but can he really do anything under the watchful eyes of the Heavenly Demon?

No matter how he got dragged into this dire vortex, he actually has only one path ahead of him right now: to win this competition concerning the legendary secret treasure of the Yu Clan, which draws attention from various demon clan forces, and to find a way to avoid the watchful eyes of those Heavenly Demons within Yu Zhen’s secret treasure.

It sounds like an impossible task.

Placing hope on the secret treasure of the great demon Yu Zhen feels even more illusory.

But within the known scope, there is no other method. Other than this, all paths end in doom.

These demon clan geniuses consider their competition with other opponents, and after prevailing here, there will naturally be strong ones outside to respond.

After he, Jiang Someone, wins here, there will also be demon clan strong ones waiting outside to collect his corpse...

Among the twelve monsters present, Xiong Sansi, Yang Yu, Lu Qilang, She Guyu, and Shujia Lan all possess the strength of new kings on the Heavenly List. Zhu Lanruo hides well, and he doesn’t dare to investigate further. But judging by the attitudes of Xiong Sansi and Yang Yu, he can roughly feel it a bit.

In other words, besides Yu Xin, who just makes up the numbers, there are as many as six demon clan new kings on the Heavenly List here!

He needs to conceal his identity, protect the mirror he is hiding in, win the final competition, and search for an escape method in Yu Zhen’s treasure chest. The only cards he can play are the still-to-heal injured body and Chai Asi and Pig Dali... who merely have the combat power of Monster Generals, even unable to unleash Demon Mark or grasp Divine Skills, not really considered true Monster Generals.

These two are porcelain tigers, currently exuding an image of prestige, but truly when collided with anyone, they would shatter immediately.

What should he do?

Jiang Wang couldn’t help but wish to leap out of the mirror with Longing, fight to the death, one against twelve—far simpler than pondering such a complex problem!

"Hehehe..." Xiong Sansi chuckled a few times hoarsely, then spoke confidently: "Ahead are six paths, and we don’t know what’s at the end. Either we allocate now and each takes a path after entering or we fight it out now... and see who can finally enter."

"I have no objections, either way is fine." Lu Qilang shrugged: "What do you all think?"

Though the question was to everyone present, his eyes looked towards Chai Asi.

Clearly, he was suspicious of Chai Asi’s pretended allegiance, suspecting there was some plan against him, hence wanting to sound him out all the time.

Chai Asi bared his teeth, a ferocious light in his eyes.

Previously, the Supreme told him to keep low-key and patient, and he didn’t understand. Now, he fully comprehends.

The Supreme plays with a sense of ease and grace!

Everyone is inside a secret room now, without a single True Monster present, isn’t this a tiger among sheep?

In his heart, he just asked: "Supreme, shall we, or shall we not?"

"I’ll handle that Peaceful Ghost Messenger; you take care of the other ten with one finger each!"

"..." The Supreme replied gently: "The ones present are all my demon clan geniuses; if killing can be avoided, then avoid it, as weakening our overall power. You are destined to ascend to the Absolute Summit, how can you not have a bigger picture?"

Chai Asi was awakened by that remark, utterly enlightened, and looking back at Lu Qilang, his eyes were much more cordial.

Although this guy is irritatingly looking, he is, after all, a citizen of my Emperor Chai... how could I not empathize?

"In my demon’s view," he spoke proactively with a sense of responsibility, "everyone here is a demon clan genius; if avoiding death and injury is possible, then do not have them. Weakening is our demon clan’s overall power. Everyone is destined to ascend to the Absolute Summit; how can we lack the bigger picture?"

His words made all demons present hold him in high esteem.

Petty squabbling is indeed ephemeral; it needs this high-level perspective!

"Namo Light King Buddha," Yang Yu said softly, "the benefactor is right; it’s best if we can discuss civilly without fighting. The Land of Shenxiao is vast; I suggest we walk ahead and explore first."

Shujia Lan said sinisterly: "But there are only six roads ahead, yet twelve demons present. How do we divide the paths?"

Xiong Sansi said: "If you ask me..."

Rumble!

Before he finished, suddenly, the entire secret room of Shenxiao was animated, and the silvery white wall facing the main door was slowly but decisively pushing outward.

Without harming anyone, it gently pushed everything inside the secret room towards the Land of Shenxiao...

Finally, that silvery white wall completely overlapped with the open doors. This way, the whole secret room of Shenxiao was compressed into the shape of a big door, standing behind all the demons.

Now the demons were in a forest, everything seemed more alive.

In front of them, before the six shaded paths, stood a giant rock, likely a milestone or boundary stone.

Upon approaching, they saw carved words on the rock.

The Taoist text was inscribed, with a long-lasting ambiance.

It read—

"Guests from afar."
