Chapter 71: Myriad Demon King, Incitement (Seeking votes, subscriptions, rewards)
Inside the alley.
There weren't many people coming and going, and those who passed by couldn't see the two figures standing in the alley at all, as if they didn't exist.
"Me? Perhaps, you can call me the 'Myriad Demon King.'"
The cloaked man behind Yu Xiaogang revealed his black eyes. His face, as white as jade, seemed somewhat inhuman, like a type of skin stretched over it.
He took in Yu Xiaogang's reaction completely, then chuckled softly. His laugh was low, and after thinking of a title, he introduced himself.
"Myriad Demon King."
Yu Xiaogang tried to use his agile brain and extensive knowledge to find information about the other party.
However, no matter how much he racked his brain, he couldn't figure out what kind of being the other party was.
"This is an alias, isn't it?"
"Don't you even dare to reveal your own Sect?"
"Hiding your head and showing your tail."
The other party showed no intention of attacking, which gave Yu Xiaogang a bit more confidence.
He questioned directly.
"An alias, yes, you could say that."
"Let's go somewhere else. Whatever you want to know, I will tell you."
As he spoke, without waiting for Yu Xiaogang's agreement, the Demon Eye Magic Tree directly pulled the other party to another location.
Coincidentally, it was the same private room where he had spoken with Tang Xiao earlier.
Their conversation at that time had all been within his notice, as it was part of his plan from the very beginning.
The Demon Eye Magic Tree had originally intended to use Tang Xiao, but unfortunately, it ended before it even began, and Blue Silver City was more dangerous than he had imagined.
Therefore, he needed other cannon fodder to play around with.
Now, only the other Upper Three Sects could be considered useful cannon fodder here.
Of course, dragging it out might lead to other actions from Spirit Hall, but before that, this was the only way.
"You..."
Without a chance to refuse, Yu Xiaogang found himself in this familiar private room again. Thinking of unpleasant things, he looked angrily at the person opposite him.
"This place is very suitable for conversation, isn't it?"
"And you're very familiar with it."
The Demon Eye Magic Tree was calm and at ease.
He sat on the sofa, gesturing for Yu Xiaogang to sit down as well.
Lacking sufficient strength, Yu Xiaogang had no leverage to refuse. After a pause, he sat down, his gaze sweeping over the bottles of Greenwood Brew in front of him.
Normally, he would be delighted, but at this moment, here, he kept thinking of Tang Xiao, feeling utterly displeased, unable to swallow his anger.
"Just tell me directly, what is your purpose?"
"If it's some fawning nonsense, then don't bother."
Finally, he picked up a bottle of wine and began to drink it by himself.
Anyway, if the other party wanted to speak, then let him speak.
The black-cloaked man in front of him, this so-called Myriad Demon King, was just some trash from who-knows-where, a mere minnow daring to call himself king.
And as for having the same goal, he didn't believe it at all.
The other party was likely not a Titled Douluo; at most, a Spirit Saint or a Spirit Douluo.
A mere Spirit Saint or Spirit Douluo posed no threat to Blue Silver City.
After all, even peerless talents like Tang Hao and Tang Xiao had fallen here. What could the other party possibly do?
So, he wasn't very concerned and planned to just humor him for a bit before leaving. He always treated people without value this way.
"The purpose should be to deal with this Blue Silver City. Of course, the main target is that 100,000-Year Transformed Spirit Beast."
"That is to say, Xiao Wu, as you call her."
Ignoring Yu Xiaogang's attitude, the Demon Eye Magic Tree spoke directly.
Initially, he had considered whether to hypnotize and control the other party to persuade his father or similar actions.
But he discovered Yu Xiaogang's intense animosity towards Blue Silver City, and besides, his own manipulation would certainly not be as effective as the other party's own performance.
Moreover, to persuade those people, a little 'help' would definitely be needed. So, he simply exposed a clone to cooperate with the other party's actions.
"Xiao Wu?"
"Heh, just you?"
"Or the power hidden behind you?"
Drinking the Greenwood Brew, Yu Xiaogang seemed to have heard something amusing. Regardless of whether Xiao Wu being a Transformed Spirit Beast was true or false, did the other party have the capital for this?
He looked up, his disdain completely unconcealed. Perhaps, he too had the capital to look down on most powers.
Although his strength was insufficient, the powers he could access were enough to make him disdain most Spirit Saint and Spirit Douluo forces.
And even his stubborn old father didn't dare to probe Blue Silver City anymore. If they still dared to harbor such thoughts, it would be courting death.
"It seems I haven't told you my true identity yet. Let me reintroduce myself and explain more clearly."
"I am the 450,000-year Demon Eye Magic Tree. Other Spirit Beasts also call me the 'Myriad Demon King.'"
Completely looked down upon, the Demon Eye Magic Tree's tone was calm, not angered by Yu Xiaogang's disdainful and contemptuous expression.
He proactively revealed his identity.
Staring at Yu Xiaogang, he also wanted to see the other party's reaction.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
"Spirit Beast..."
These words, however, unsettled Yu Xiaogang, causing him to cough and almost spit out his wine.
This introduction was completely different from before. He couldn't figure out anything about a Myriad Demon King or whatever.
But the other party claiming to be a Spirit Beast, and a terrifying 450,000-year cultivation, that was truly frightening enough.
At least, he had genuinely never heard of such an existence.
His expression changed erratically, his eyes revealing shock. Yu Xiaogang's mouth opened and closed, unsure whether to say the other party was fooling him.
"You came out just to play this kind of joke with me?"
"A 450,000-year Spirit Beast? Was this number specially set?"
Ultimately, he still found it too unbelievable.
Moreover, a 450,000-year cultivated Spirit Beast taking such a risk to come into the city to save other Spirit Beasts??
Are Spirit Beasts really that united and friendly?
The original excuse of a 100,000-Year Spirit Beast attacking the city was already absurd, and now something even more absurd appeared.
He hadn't encountered some lunatic or idiot, had he?
"Oh, you think I'm joking?"
The Demon Eye Magic Tree's lips curled up, full of sinister charm, especially combined with his dark eyes, making people feel even more uncomfortable.
"Then your so-called cooperation of the Upper Three Sects to deal with Blue Silver City, is that also a joke?"
Initially, Yu Xiaogang still feigned composure, wanting to extract information before confirming the situation, but the subsequent words made his body tremble slightly.
"What... what are you talking about?"
"I don't know."
Especially in this place, it seemed as if the other party had deliberately chosen it.
Yu Xiaogang's speech became incoherent, as if his secret had been seen through.
"Just today, right here, your conversation with that Titled Douluo, did you think it could be kept a secret??"
"I'll be direct. Originally, I was just looking for a Transformed Spirit Beast, but I unexpectedly discovered this information, which is why I sought cooperation. You should also be aware of the situation outside; we are already preparing to act. If we can have some helpers, that would be even better."
The Demon Eye Magic Tree spoke with nine parts truth and one part falsehood, and without waiting for Yu Xiaogang to fully digest the meaning of his words, he continued.
"I'll give you a free piece of information. Perhaps you haven't noticed, or maybe you've forgotten, but that Blue Silver King has the ability to read memories. His mental force is also very strong. Even if that Titled Douluo died, as long as he wants to, obtaining the other party's memories is not difficult."
"And your conversation was most likely exposed."
"Perhaps, they are now waiting to deal with your Sects after the decisive battle with the Spirit Beasts."
These words carried a hint of incitement, imbued with mental force, drilling into Yu Xiaogang's Sea of Consciousness. This was merely a shallow application of mental force, not controlling the other party, but simply temporarily increasing some of his fear, suspicion, and other negative emotions.
This made Yu Xiaogang, who was already terrified by the news of the exposure, turn pale. He could no longer control his expression. At this moment, he no longer had the thought of maintaining his dignified demeanor.
His mind was filled with the thought that his conversation with Tang Xiao had been exposed, and that Blue Silver City was already planning to destroy their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan because of this, even implicating the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Why should they!!"
"We didn't do anything."
"They don't even know."
His emotions were somewhat uncontrollable, and he spoke tremblingly. Although Yu Xiaogang disliked the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he never intended to harm them.
After all, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was also his big backer.
