Wen Ping questioned twice in a row, his words carried the imposing presence of the Condemner’s Earth Unrestricted power toward the two demons, Li Pass and Shifeng.
The moment the Earth Unrestricted power pressed upon them, their argument ceased immediately.
Wen Ping continued, "Or to put it more bluntly, extinction or submission to the Immortal Sect, you decide?"
"Sect Leader Wen, if we don’t nod today, are you planning to kill us all?" Li Pass questioned.
"Kill you? I have no interest. There are plenty who want you dead, one more won’t make a difference. I am here carrying the will of others; it all depends on whether your Demon Race wants the opportunity I am offering," Wen Ping said the first part to Li Pass, and the latter part to Huaikong.
Wen Ping was intentionally transferring the authority to speak to Huaikong.
Because to become the Demon Emperor, one must naturally have the power to speak.
Huaikong understood the hint, and asked, "Then may I know how the senior behind Sect Leader Wen plans to assist us?"
"I can’t say too much. What I can tell you is that the senior behind me can help all of the Demon Race break through the limitations of their bloodline. Bloodline will no longer restrict the cultivation of demons, nor determine a demon’s limits. On the contrary, a demon with a low-level bloodline can, over time, grasp the powers that only high-level bloodlines can. For instance: an Ox Demon with humble blood, in its lifetime, might at most rival a Divine Profound Realm expert who has opened a second Meridian Gate. But if it follows the cultivation method provided by the senior behind me, as time passes, this Ox Demon can rival the Mountain Suppression Realm, Earth Unrestricted, or even higher realms, no longer bound by bloodline limitations. Of course, powerful bloodlines still hold their advantages, with faster cultivation speed and greater power. In conclusion, every demon in the Demon Race has the chance to surpass their limits."
After speaking, Wen Ping patted the Condemner’s wings beside him.
Wen Ping intentionally raised his voice with this sentence, for Huaikong and his followers to hear, and also for the hundreds of thousands of demons behind him to hear.
Sure enough, under Wen Ping’s words, those hundreds of thousands of demons immediately began to stir.
Huaikong responded, "Sect Leader Wen, if what you say is true, and the powerful figure behind you is willing to offer us this opportunity, I, Huaikong, will be the first to agree!"
"Then let’s first discuss the matter of subordination."
Huaikong said, "If it involves the Demon Race’s subordination, all kings, including the Demon King of the Sky Race, the Demon King of the Water Race, and the Demon King of the Earth Race, must be present."
"Then gather them all, discuss the issue of subordination, so I can report back." Time is short, Wen Ping would naturally speed up the process if he could.
Huaikong immediately glanced at the newly awakened Demon King of the Sky Race, Tian Wu, who understood Huaikong’s intention, spread his wings, and vanished into the horizon.
Then Huaikong said, "Sect Leader Wen, let’s find another place to talk."
...
Standing behind the giant demon, Wen Ping was heading to the main camp of the Demon Race.
At this time, Shifeng slowly approached, respectfully bowing to both Wen Ping and the Condemner, then asked, "Sect Leader Wen, may I know what your relationship with Lord Long Ye is?"
Wen Ping replied, "Long Ye is one of my people."
Shifeng was taken aback, though he had a hunch, hearing this still surprised him.
"I understand."
Shifeng, with deep thought, bowed again, then stood in a spot behind Wen Ping, like the Condemner.
Wen Ping closed his eyes, not looking, silently accepting Shifeng’s allegiance.
...
By dusk, the main camp of the Demon Race was reached.
Wen Ping had imagined the main camp of the Demon Race to be a Blessed Land, surrounded by celestial materials and earthly treasures.
He had also thought the Demon Race might live like humans in grand palaces.
Yet he had never anticipated that the main camp of the Demon Race was, in fact, a giant stone formation.
towering Heaven-Reaching Stone Pillars stood straight, each releasing a unique aura of a Demon King, far more powerful than Li Pass and the others.
The demons gathered before the stone pillars, collectively prostrating themselves in worship, including Shifeng, who had previously disagreed with Li Pass, also chose to prostrate himself.
After rising, Huaikong explained, "Sect Leader Wen, these are the Demon Spirit Pillars of fifty past Demon Emperors of the Demon Race. According to human sayings, these are their gravestones. Of course, there’s a distinction. These fifty stone pillars contain demon spirits, allowing the demon spirits of Demon Emperors to last for millennia, making sure we remember they existed."
"They are coming..."
"Sect Leader Wen, I will do my best to persuade them."
"On the left is the Demon King of the Water Race, Jiang Xian, a White Flood Dragon. In the water, he holds the top power among the Demon Race."
"On the right is the Demon King of the Earth Race, Xiang Ling, a Celestial Flame Tiger, aside from Li Pass and Shifeng, it is the strongest on land."
"The two of them have strengths comparable to the Demon King of the Sky Race, Tian Wu..."
Looking at the massive dark silhouettes in the sky, Wen Ping thought to himself: The mission can finally be completed!
