Chapter 432: 405: Exchange
He looked down.
In a large training ground on Satellite Island, a group of Five Spirit Monkeys, under the direction of the pangolin, were mentally tormenting the four major Demon Clans below.
“The Human Clan has 108 rules, today we must find a way to drill them into these demons’ minds.”
“So when they leave Hidden Spirit Island, they will treat the Humans with the same reverence as their ancestors,” the Pangolin said to the surrounding Five Spirit Monkeys.
Xu Fan, lying in the white clouds, listened to the pangolin’s words and laughed, “You’re becoming quite the pyramid scheme leader.”
If one didn’t take its appearance into account, the pangolin could very well be mistaken for the higher-up of a northern pyramid marketing scheme.
“Should we capture some demons in the future and send them to the pangolin for training?” Xu Fan said, thinking about having his own Demon Army in the Hidden Spirit Sect.
“Pu Tao” Xu Fan suddenly called out.
“Present”
“Capture as many minor Demon Clans outside of the Four Great Clans as possible from the Steel Great Wall and send them to Satellite Island.” Xu Fan instructed.
“How many should I aim for?” Pu Tao asked.
“Start with one million. We can get more if this works well.” Xu Fan considered before replying.
The reason that Xu Fan arranged this way was that he had noticed the attitude of the Mixed Iron Monkey towards the Human Clan. In the Demon World, smaller races were often the objects of oppression and enslavement by the stronger races.
With that in mind, it would be preferable for the Humans to enslave them instead. Though the results might be similar, with his modern methods, they would surely have more comfortable lives than under the demons.
Once this idea surfaced, Xu Fan also thought about dispatching some minor Demon Clans to the Demon World to spread this new philosophy.
He shook his head soon after, deciding to first deal with the problem at hand.
At this moment, Zhan Ling sent a message, the Four Great Demon Clans were indeed planning to threaten the capture of Humans with spiritual roots to exchange for the captured Demon Race Refiner Grandmaster from the Human Clan.
“The drama begins,” Xu Fan commented.
Xu Fan’s figure appeared above Satellite Island, the grand gates of the Dao Artifact Palace swung open.
“Reposition those demons,” Xu Fan instructed the pangolin.
“Understood.”
Within a mere three breaths, over a thousand demons from the Four Great Clans had entered the Dao Artifact Palace, leading Xu Fan to sigh at the efficiency of their training over the past few days.
Soon, the Five Spirit Monkeys appeared above the Steel Great Wall, handing over the Dao Artifact Palace to Zhan Ling.
By now, the phantoms of the Four Demon Sovereigns appeared across the Steel Great Wall.
“Human Venerable, come out!” A cold and domineering voice echoed above the Steel Great Wall.
A sea of blood spread across the sky, with Zhan Ling’s enormous, fierce face floating above.
“Speak, what is it that you want,” Zhan Ling the Honorable said coldly.
Soon, around ten thousand humans appeared outside the Steel Great Wall, all of them young men and women under the age of twenty-four.
“I have over thirty million mortals here with me, all under the age of twenty-four and possessing spiritual roots.”
“If you wish to take back these fifty million mortals, hand over the four Grandmasters of my Demon Clan in exchange.”
“Otherwise.”
The Frost Wolf Venerable, having just spoken, struck his hand towards the ten thousand youthful humans outside the Steel Great Wall.
Zhan Ling was about to intervene, but the other three Demon Clan Venerables stopped him.
‘Boom’
The cultivators and puppets atop the Steel Great Wall couldn’t bear to watch this tragedy unfold.
A pool of bloody pulp spread out just outside the Steel Great Wall, expanding in all directions.
“Or, we could go ahead and do it like this.” The Frost Wolf Venerable suggested.
Seeing this scene, Zhan Ling fumbled within his Dao Artifact Palace and extracted a Nascent Soul Stage Frost Wolf.
“Little wolf pup, you recognize these two creatures, don’t you?” Zhan Ling chuckled, his eyes gleaming with manic murderous intent.
He had spent his whole life cultivating demons, although he adhered to the Blood Spirit Great Dao, he had never killed a mortal. Even more, he was a maintainer of order in the mortal realm of the Sky Demon Continent, deeply despising demonic cultivators who hurt innocent mortals in their pursuit of cultivation.
Witnessing so many mortals die before him, he felt an impulse to descend into madness.
“How could our clan’s celestial favorite be in your hands?” Frost Wolf Venerable exclaimed in surprise.
“You’re mistaking one thing. One is indeed the celestial favorite of your wolf pup clan, and the other is your little son.” Zhan Ling corrected him, bloodlust in his voice.
The Blood Sea transformed into a large hand and grabbed the Nascent Soul Stage Frost Wolf, throwing it into the gaping mouth that the Blood Sea had formed.
A giant face began to chew in front of the four great Demon Sovereigns, despair-filled screams and the sound of bones shattering combined to create an extremely unsettling scene.
“You’ve made a good deal. A thousand humans in exchange for your little son.” Zhan Ling gave an eerie smile as he stared at the Frosts Wolf Demon Sovereign’s shadow.
“Are you so confident that I won’t slaughter all thirty million of these mortals with spiritual roots?” Frost Wolf Demon Sovereign said, fixing his eyes on Zhan Ling. Despite his rage, he knew he had to hold back.
“You’re welcome to try.” Zhan Ling waved his hand and over a thousand celestial favorites from the four major demon clans and others related to the Demon Sovereigns were trapped in the Blood Sea.
“Father”
“Daddy”
“King”
“Husband”
“Uncle”
Different cries rang out, completely unsettling the Four Great Demon Sovereigns. In desperation, they quickly transmitted messages to their respective territories.
Before long, all four Demon Sovereigns’ faces had gone dark with rage.
“Well done, Venerable of the Human Clan.” Moon Fox Demon Sovereign said with gritted teeth, a mix of anger and helplessness on his face.
At this point, the other two Venerables of the Human Clan appeared beside Zhan Ling, their faces pale as they gazed at the pool of blood outside the Steel Great Wall.
“Venerable of the Human Clan, we would exchange thirty million human souls with spiritual roots for the demons and Artifact Refiners in your hands.”
“Otherwise, all thirty million humans with spiritual roots will die.” frost wolf Demon Sovereign said in a cold tone.
“Oh, you are haggling with me.”
“You think I care about those thirty million humans? I am a demonic cultivator. Kill as you please, I don’t care.” Zhan ling said with demonic qi over his face.
“If I hadn’t been entrusted by someone, all these little treasures of your demon clan would have been dead a long time ago.”
“One condition. Exchange these talented monsters for thirty million humans. If you disagree, just kill them at your disposal, I don’t mind.” Zhan ling said nonchalantly.
“Other Venerables of the Human Clan, don’t you need these thirty million humans with spiritual roots?” At this moment, Moon Fox Venerable voiced her thoughts.
“Go ahead and kill those thirty million humans. The prodigies of your four clans are enough of a repayment.” The Tiger Howl Venerable proclaimed. Living for thousands of years, they had the wisdom to understand this point.
Even if the negotiation fails today, those thirty million humans would not die.
“Haha, so these are the Venerables of your human clan, colder than our demon kind.” Moon Fox Demon Sovereign watched her daughters trapped in the Blood Sea and sighed slightly in despair.
“That’s the condition, just say you won’t exchange, and I’ll instantly chew up these demon geniuses.”
“The taste of the last two wasn’t bad at all.” Zhan Ling’s giant face which was a projection of the Blood Sea announced.
Three more Frost Wolves were picked up by the giant hand of the Blood Sea and thrown into the giant face’s mouth. It seemed he was ready to eat another two to sample their flavor.
