Chapter 1013 - Godhood Dan Pill (2)
“Sir,” said an old man next to He Lu, “the Demon as a race have always been very united against outsiders. If they learn of what we do today, it might just provoke a war between the two realms.”
He Lu snorts derisively at that comment: “I heard the granddaughter of that Medicine Sect is the wife of that demon king, and didn’t we attack her before? It’s the same as declaring war, what does it matter if we slaughter a few demonic beasts now?”
The old man frowns and got more disgruntled in his face. The Spirit Lord have always been wise and intelligent, how can his son be so clueless and foolish?
“The two issues cannot be compared together. The denizens of the Demon Realm aren’t stupid. No matter how prestigious a queen is, she’s still only one human. We can always claim to be unaware later and use that as an excuse. What’s more, they’re already at war with the Celestial Realm, they wouldn’t want to be confronted on two different fronts. By then, we can just feign ignorance and compensate with some sort of material gift.”
“As for the monsters here in the forest….” The old man stifles a smirk to avoid showing his own disdain for others, “It’s well known the Demon Realm have issued an edict to every other realm long ago. Anyone who attacks their kin will be hunted down to the ends of the world! Consider sparing these demonic beasts as a favor to the demon king, after all, we’re already going after his queen.”
In other words, his opinion was that the Demon Realm should thank them for sparing their kin and not be infuriated for even having that idea.
“And… I don’t intend to kill the demon queen.”
“What do you mean by that?” Narrowing his eyes in, He Lu turns to stare at the senior wearing the pine flower patterned robe.
This old thing, relying on his strength as a Celestial Rank to defy me. He’s even daring enough to refuse my orders!
“Even if we claim not to know of that woman being the demon queen, but what if…” pausing, the old man attempts to let his words sink in. “What if the demons refuse to leave the matter be even with compensation?”
He Lu burst out into a sniggering laughter. It’s cold and derisive as it rang across the city.
“So according to Elder Yuan’s wording, you want us to not kill anyone from the Medicine Sect, Misty Fairy House and Holy Land as well? Is that what you mean?”
“No,” the old man shook his head, “the monsters are known to have a short fuse when protecting their own kin, that’s true. However, when have you seen them protecting humanity? Even if the demon king pampers his own queen, the woman’s relatives are only ordinary humans. We can kill them and any other human without having to worry about the won’t repercussion from the act.”
At most…. The demon king will only ask for some sort of compensation in order to satisfy his woman’s need. Compared to the wealth this land provides, that’s nothing.
“Elder Yuan,” an insufferable anger fills He Lu’s chest, “Don’t forget what my father’s orders are. When carrying out the invasion, you are to assist me in my goal. So, I’m telling you now, whether it be humans or demonic beasts, all must die!” Red in the face, the arrogant man’s spit was flying all over the senior’s face when he started yelling.
Stone cold without a hint of emotion now, Elder Yuan responds in a rather bland voice: “If you want to go die then you can do it on your own, we here won’t accompany you into the Abyss forest.”
“You…” Pointing his accusing finger with grit between his teeth, “Good, very good! Once we get back to the Spirit Realm, I will report everything to my father and have him decide!”
