Chapter 682 There is a ghost in my heart
After the second demon lord's "reminder", the debate in the hall became more intense, and the surging demonic energy represented the emotions of each demon lord.
"I think it was the work of the mysterious demon master. Otherwise, how could we have overlooked the sword intent under the natural moat?! And the rumors are also true. We have not sensed any signs of investigation by the peerless human race. How could the human race have known this news in advance? If it's not the demon master, I really can't guess who it is!"
The shadow at the seventeenth seat looked familiar. If one looked carefully, one would recognize that it was the one whose arm was cut off by the old master's bamboo blade! It was obvious that he also held a grudge against the demon master for the broken arm.
"Hehe, that's right, the demon master is the biggest suspect, and that person is extremely arrogant. He always looks haughty every time we met. He is very scheming and must have a big secret!" On the last seat, a thin black shadow was shaking his legs, obviously wanting to watch the fun.
"Indeed! The demon master gives me the impression of someone who likes to scheme. I can't see through such a person, and his appearance is too strange. I don't understand him at all. I suspect that this guy must have a purpose to approach my demon clan!"
The Great Demon Lord remained silent. When the Demon Master's overwhelming news spread, the eighteen Demon Lords alone were making such a fuss, not to mention the situation of the demon army. It was a headache just to think about it, and it was even more difficult to speak for the Demon Master now.
Seeing the Great Demon Lord was silent, the Demon Lord on the Second Throne immediately stopped him, "How dare you! The Demon Master is a talent personally selected by the Boss. Are you questioning the Boss?"
The Demon Lord of the Second Throne seemed fair, but actually he had a hidden agenda. When he finished speaking, it seemed that he was protecting the face of the Great Demon Lord, but actually he was forcing the Great Demon Lord to express his position.
The scene became quiet, and the demons began to sense something strange in their hearts.
Could it be that there is some kind of deal between the Demon Master and the Great Demon Lord?
The Great Demon Lord narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the Demon Lord on the throne beside him calmly, and explained to everyone: "This may be a trap set by the human race, waiting for us to isolate the Demon Master so that we can better deal with the situation."
It was still an explanation, without mentioning the Demon Lord's fault at all. When everyone heard it, their previous guess was confirmed. It seemed to be correct!
The second demon lord standing by was delighted, as the words of the great demon lord had already made his position clear.
"This is a trap set by humans. If that's the case, then we don't need to pay attention to it. We just need to give an explanation to the demon army. No matter what the truth is, the demon master's guilt is still serious. Now the best explanation is to remove him from his post and keep him for future use. Only in this way can we stabilize the morale of the army." The second demon lord seemed to have grasped the demon master's pain point and continued to force him.
The Great Demon Lord had a slightly cold expression on his face, but seeing that more than a dozen Demon Lords agreed with him, he felt extremely helpless. Now it was impossible to completely protect the Demon Lord.
Thinking of the demon master's terrifying background, the Great Demon Lord was in a dilemma. After thinking for a while, he said, "The situation on the front line is tight now. How about imposing a heavy fine on him and deducting his resources? What do you think?"
Although it is said to be a severe punishment, it is actually not very painful. The favoritism of the Great Demon Lord is very obvious.
"No! Now the demon tribe has absolutely no good feelings towards the Demon Master. If we let him take command again, it will only cause dissatisfaction among the demon tribe. It will be difficult to gather such a fighting force. Think twice, boss!" The Second Demon Lord hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists towards the Great Demon Lord.
"Boss, think twice!!"
The remaining demon lords also stood up from their seats and saluted the Great Demon Lord.
This is putting pressure on me! Good! Very good! Anger surged in his heart, the Great Demon Lord took a deep breath, the anger in his eyes was suppressed, and he said in a deep voice:
"Okay, but it will take a few days to choose another demon master. As for the punishment of the demon master, we can discuss it in two days. How about that?"
The Second Demon Lord looked delighted. This time he actually saw the Great Demon Lord's concession, and his ambition swelled again.
"If I can find some evidence against the Great Demon Lord and the Demon Master, I might get unexpected gains! By then, the position of the Great Demon Lord might be mine..." The Second Demon Lord thought so, but his words were full of respect.
"Leader!"
Seeing that everyone agreed, the Great Demon Lord waved his hand weakly to send everyone out. He looked at the receding figure of the Second Demon Lord with a cold look in his eyes.
The Great Demon Lord stood up and disappeared while his body twisted. But it was far from time for him to rest as there was still something he needed to explain.
From afar, the Great Demon Lord stopped in front of the water-proof cover, looked at the ruins inside, and knew the Demon Master's current mood. He took a deep breath and walked in.
With a casual glance, he found the demon master lying in the ruins with disheveled hair and covered in dust, staring blankly at the fish swimming above the dome.
"Well, today, worse news comes." The demon master said dejectedly.
The Great Demon Lord was not annoyed. He sat down and looked at the Demon Master without saying a word.
Tired of being stared at, the demon master sat up and said in an impatient tone: "It's definitely not a good result. Just tell me directly, so I don't have to guess anymore!"
The Great Demon Lord smiled helplessly: "You have already guessed it, right? The power of command will definitely not be kept."
"You agreed?"
The Great Demon Lord looked unhappy: "No, but the minority is no match for the majority. They have even begun to doubt the relationship between us..."
The demon master spread his hands indifferently: "Anyway, the demon tribe will never make any big waves again. The mastermind behind the scenes is just taking advantage of the situation to block our way. It doesn't matter if there are too many lice. At worst, the plan fails. You and I will escape to the starry sky together. Who dares to touch us in the starry sky!"
The demon master hesitated for a moment, with a hint of mockery on his lips.
"But it's no wonder that you can't defeat the human race. You are so divided internally, and you still want to get involved in Yingxu? It's just a daydream!"
As soon as these words came out, the Great Demon Lord frowned and said, "Your Jiedao clan promised me that after helping you occupy the Southern Region, I would help me reach a higher level of cultivation. Are you planning to break your promise?"
As soon as these words came out, it was already clear that among the demon clan, the one who had the real hidden evil in his heart was the Great Demon Lord whom they revered.
"We each take what we need. A hundred years ago, we calculated that when the great age would come, the condition was to occupy a part of the land and absorb the energy between heaven and earth so that we could come. Now... with such a small piece of land, I'm afraid even a few ordinary Dao-intercepting beasts can't come, let alone you. Guarantee? You have to do what you promised first."
The demon master sneered coldly, the situation was hopeless, it would not be easy to turn things around!
"Why not just drag all the demon lords onto the battlefield, expel the human race as soon as possible, and take advantage of this opportunity to collect the fate, how about this?"
A trace of contempt flashed in the demon master's eyes: "Have you forgotten the old master and the old beggar? According to the information I received, they are all in the South Region. If you make a move, you will be attacked the next moment, and our plan will be known to others in an instant. Then it will be really over!"
"Neither this nor that will work. Do you want me to negotiate with the human race? The human race is arrogant. There are many opportunities in the southern region. They will never let go, let alone agree!"
Seeing the conversation going from bad to worse, the demon master had no choice but to raise a finger: "There is another way, maybe it will work!"
The surging aura of the Great Demon Lord shook, and the violent demonic power quickly subsided.
