“My, my... little doggy brother, look how fierce you are!”
The Wuhua Palace Ancestor’s sweet, high-pitched voice rang out, instantly giving the Third Prince goosebumps all over his body.
“Beat it! You... get to work! Otherwise, I’ll have the Chief kill you!” the Third Prince barked fiercely.
“Oh my, little doggy brother, you’re really breaking my heart...”
“Blech...”
The Third Prince really couldn't take it anymore and threw up all over the ground.
Damn it, this was too horrifying!
Watching the Third Prince flee, the Wuhua Palace Ancestor’s eyes flickered. Twisting his thick waist, he walked over to where the Blood Refining Demon Lord was working.
“Did you see their leader?”
At this moment, the Blood Fiend Tower Ancestor also walked over and asked.
The Wuhua Palace Ancestor patted the dust off his hands and replied, “No!”
“These bandits are from the Heavenly Demon Sect. They were only recently established in Black Fiend City. Their cultivation levels aren't high, but they have incredibly good luck...” The Blood Fiend Tower Ancestor briefly explained the Heavenly Demon Sect's situation.
The Blood Refining Demon Lord nodded. “To be able to obtain a secret realm, kill my disciple, and snatch the Break-Stage Grass... their luck is indeed quite good...”
He had also been observing them. The most powerful of this group was merely a 4th-rank demon beast.
If they were outside, he could have pinched them to death with a single hand!
At this moment, the Blood Fiend Tower Ancestor asked, “Has the poison in your bodies been neutralized yet?”
The Blood Refining Demon Lord shook his head. “No! This poison is out of the ordinary!”
The Wuhua Palace Ancestor nodded in agreement.
At this moment, no one was more depressed than General Tiger and General Dog.
It seemed their grand ambition of rebelling and becoming the Demon Emperor was completely hopeless!
“What do you plan to do?” General Dog asked.
General Tiger replied grumpily, “Beats me. Do nothing, and maybe scramble some eggs...”
Who could have thought that their very first rebellion would end in failure? It was a massive blow to a tiger's pride.
“Sure, sure... go ahead and scramble some eggs for me then...” General Dog snapped grumpily.
After that, both demons fell silent.
After a moment, General Tiger spoke up. “With our strength, we could join any faction we want and easily become ancestors. What are you so afraid of?”
General Dog glanced at the Demon Emperor not far away. “I know that, but it wouldn't be as comfortable as staying with the demon race!”
General Tiger also sighed. “If the Demon Emperor apologizes and says some nice things to me, I might just forgive him!”
General Dog stared at General Tiger, utterly speechless. Talk about wishful thinking!
He immediately dashed his hopes. “Stop dreaming. I noticed the Demon Emperor has already reverted to his old self. He won't let either of us off the hook...”
The two demons fell silent once more.
Seeing Zhu Wuneng not far away, frantically tilling the soil with his nine-tooth rake, General Tiger felt even more depressed. What kind of mess was this?
How did a dignified general of the demon race end up in such a miserable state?
Suddenly, General Tiger took a few steps back, distancing himself from General Dog.
Seeing General Tiger's movement, General Dog asked in confusion, “What are you doing?”
General Tiger looked up at General Dog and said, “Wait, that's not right! Even though I wanted to rebel, I didn't collude with outsiders, nor did I actually start the rebellion!”
Because before he even had the chance to make a move, he had been interrupted by the Empress's affair.
After that, he went to snatch the Break-Stage Grass and didn't have any time to actually rebel.
None of his preparations had been put to use.
This was entirely an attempted rebellion that never even got off the ground!
Hearing General Tiger's words, General Dog was also stunned. Wait, that seems true!
Did that mean he was the only rebel left?
After all, he had smugly gloated for a long time.
There was absolutely no denying it for him.
No way, he had to trick General Tiger into staying on his side.
General Dog immediately said, “But you still had the intention to rebel. Once the Demon Emperor finds out, he won't let you off either.”
General Tiger shook his head repeatedly. “Hmph... even if the Demon Emperor knows, so what? At most, I was just supporting a prince. I didn't collude with outsiders. It was just internal infighting, which is a much lighter offense... Hahaha!”
Thinking of this, General Tiger laughed heartily as he moved even further away from General Dog.
“I am a law-abiding demon, unlike a traitor like you. Stop trying to trick me...”
With that, General Tiger turned around and eagerly trotted off to find the Demon Emperor.
Watching General Tiger's retreating figure, General Dog was extremely depressed.
Why? They had both wanted to rebel, so why was he the only one who ended up in the pit?
“Your Majesty, I was wrong! I am guilty! I shouldn't have supported the 98th Prince. But after all, he is my future son-in-law, and I only did it out of love!”
General Tiger found the Demon Emperor and immediately began admitting his faults.
Looking at the apologetic General Tiger in front of him, the Demon Emperor said flatly, “Remove the last sentence and say it again...”
“Huh?”
General Tiger was momentarily stunned, suddenly remembering that the Empress was already dead, and she was the one who had poisoned the Demon Emperor with the Love-Lost Gu...
Slap!
General Tiger raised his hand and slapped his own mouth.
“Your Majesty, I misspoke! It was out of deep love for my daughter that I lost my mind for a moment. Please, Your Majesty, give me another chance...”
The Demon Emperor's eyes flickered as he looked at General Tiger.
This fellow indeed hadn't had the time to commit any actual atrocities, nor had he colluded with outsiders.
Right now, the demon race's situation was not good, and they still had a major enemy in the Southern Frontier...
With this in mind, the Demon Emperor said, “Seeing as your attitude in admitting your faults is decent, you shall be spared the death penalty, but you cannot escape punishment. Your family assets will be confiscated...”
“Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!” General Tiger hastily thanked him.
“This Emperor will give you one chance. If there is a next time, I will make you regret ever being born into this world.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you... I will definitely turn over a new leaf...”
Just as the group of Unity-stage cultivators finished coordinating and planning...
And were preparing to find an opportunity to unleash their trump cards.
Suddenly, the space before them fluctuated, and they were thrown directly out of the Equality Secret Realm...
What was going on? Why were they being kicked out?
Weren't they doing a great job planting trees and spiritual herbs?
“I don't want to leave!”
“Ah... Boss, the tree I planted hasn't been covered with soil yet!”
“I haven't watered the spiritual herbs yet... Quick, let me back in...”
Wearing his cloak of invisibility, Lu Ming’s lips twitched as he heard the shouts of these old fossils.
As expected, they were plotting something. I refuse to believe you guys love manual labor this much.
The reason Lu Ming had thrown these guys out was because he had just stepped outside.
And discovered that the demon race had actually undergone a change of dynasty.
A Unity-stage tiger demon of the Variegated Tiger clan had actually ascended the throne as the new Emperor.
Lu Ming was completely dumbfounded. Wasn't this a bit too fast?
Seeing the situation, Lu Ming simply threw all those old fellows out.
Let them deal with it!
After all, with Big Yellow around, there was no way it would just stand by and watch its family's throne be stolen...
Meanwhile, the newly ascended Ancestor of the Variegated Tiger clan was also dumbfounded. His original plan with General Tiger was to lead troops to surround the outer perimeter.
In the end, fighting had broken out continuously within the imperial city before suddenly going dead silent.
When he sent scouts to investigate, the lesser demons told him that the group of Unity-stage cultivators had gotten into a massive brawl and all of them had vanished.
Upon hearing this news, the Variegated Tiger clan Ancestor did some quick math and became instantly ecstatic.
He figured these guys must have fought so hard that they tore the space apart, falling into the spatial turbulence.
Looking at the chaotic imperial city and then at the blue sky, he felt it was simply a perfect day to ascend the throne as the Demon Emperor!
And so, he held his coronation...
He had even planned that once he stabilized the demon race after ascending the throne, he would first conquer the Northern Province, and then take the Eastern Province.
He would expand and strengthen their domain, restoring the demon race to the glory of when the Xiaotian War God was still around.
But who could have known that right after his coronation, the Demon Emperor and the others would suddenly return...
Though he couldn't understand why these people were all shouting about wanting to plant trees...
