The Holy Pillar was in the center of the four territories. The demon gods of the four territories were startled when Loopy Toad specifically asked Elder Wen to lead the way. Actually, they had the vague sense that this Senior Dog and Elder Wen didnât have an ordinary connection; it was just that no one dared bring it up.
âWhy do I feel that all of you are unwilling?â Arms folded, Zhenyuan gazed at them.
âNo⦠itâs just thatâ¦â
The instant that gaze rested on them, the four demon gods felt chills run down their spines; this was a human cultivator that could go toe to toe with Demon Saint, who could deliberately wipe them out without any effort at all. Moreover, Demon Saint had magnanimously invited them to the Holy Palace at the top of the Holy Pillar; this wasnât treatment just any human cultivator could enjoy.
It should be known that even they had never been to the Holy Palace at the top of the Holy Pillar. Back when Second Generation Demon Saint had been appointed a demon god, it had happened at the foot of the Holy Pillar and no one had gone up. In past generations of demon gods, only the first generation leader of the Sky-Swallowing Toad clan, Clan Leader Jiang, had ever climbed to the top of the Holy Pillar and seen the Holy Palace with his own eyes.
So when Loopy Toad personally picked Elder Wen to show the way, the demon gods of the four territories pondered whether this had something to do Elder Wenâs Sky-Swallowing Toad clan.
After all, compared with Immortal Zhenyuanâs strength, this Senior Dogâs strength was even more unfathomable. Given how mysterious it was, every move it made and every word it said probably had its own meaning.
For these four demon gods who had been constantly trying to figure out Demon Saintâs will over the years, it could be said that they were especially sensitive to every decision and every word from this type of âGreat Senior.â
Ghost Emperor of the South smiled. âItâs like this, Senior Dog, Senior Zhenyuan. Usually, only the demon gods of the four territories are qualified to approach the bottom of the Holy Pillar. Anyone under the level of a demon god, whether a territory envoy or a demon king, wonât be able to draw near, unless itâs a joint envoy for the four territories.â
âThen the four of you just need to appoint one, right?â
Zhenyuan: âAlso, can you not smile when you speak â when you smile with that devil face of yours, it looks like youâre crying.â
Ghost Emperor: ââ¦â
Elder Wen looked overwhelmed when he heard Immortal Zhenyuanâs words. âThis⦠the joint envoy for the four territories can only be elected by the demon citizens of the four territories through an online public vote; theyâve never been appointed by the demon gods before.â
The demon gods of the four territories nodded their heads like chicken pecking at rice.
âIt is when I say it is.â
At that moment, Loopy Toad spoke up. âIf anyone has any complaints, come out and fight me!â
All the demons took an involuntary step back.
The four demon gods said in unison, âHenceforth, we officially declare that Elder Wen of the Sky-Swallowing Toad clan will serve as the Secretary-General of the peace consulate of the four territories.â
Elder Wen: ââ¦â
All the demons: ââ¦â
â¦
As they watched Elder Wen lead âSenior Dogâ and Immortal Zhenyuan in the direction of the Holy Pillar, the demon gods of the four territories felt like breathing sighs of relief.
They had more or less been contemptuous of human cultivators before, but Zhenyuan had taught them a lesson this time; when a genuine and supremely powerful human cultivator stood in front of them, it felt like they had to even consider every breath they took.
The most critical point was that this was the demon world â in a situation where there wasnât any spirit qi around at all, he was still so powerful.
If they had been in an environment more suited for showcasing his prowess, it would definitely be even more terrifying!
The four demon gods spoke to each other telepathically.
âDonât know why Demon Saint extended an invitation to this Senior Dog and Immortal Zhenyuanâ¦â
âDemon Saint actually prepared a feast. It probably isnât a simple reason. But it would be for the best if such a strong human cultivator and this mysterious Senior Dog were to become friends with the demon world! It would be too scary if they become our enemies!â said Ghost Emperor.
âBy the way, was it really alright for us to directly give Elder Wen this appointmentâ¦â asked Turtle Devil.
âYour objections are useless. This might have never happened before, but that doesnât mean that it canât happen. Also, Elder Wen is worthy of this honor.â At this time, Scorpion King spoke slowly through telepathy. âIf Elder Wen hadnât persuaded me this time, I wouldnât have come at all. Actually, I suspect that before Elder Wen and I arrived, this Senior Dog had been intentionally stalling for time.â
âIs Scorpion King saying that this Senior Dog already planned everything earlier on in order to renew the friendship between the four territories?â
âItâs possibleâ¦â
They recalled what had happened earlier with slivers of fears.
This was an expertâs way of doing things â to control everything in the palm of the hand.
As expected of Senior Dog!
Previously, the four demon gods had actually wondered whether âSenior Dogâ really was that amazing; it now appeared that they had no right to doubt it.
âErm, Lord Demon Gods, may I interrupt a littleâ¦â At that moment, Ghost Emperorâs territory envoy Daoist Witch Demon suddenly spoke.
Ghost Emperor: âWhat is it?â
âBased on the information from the other envoys that weâve compiled, the official mailboxes for the four territories have just received a lot of letters of complaints from various territory Flower clans and Tree clans; currently there are already a hundred thousand of them.â
âLetters of complaint?â
âYes.â Daoist Witch Demon nodded his head. âWhen Lord Demon Saint and Immortal Zhenyuan were arm wrestling just now, there was a lot of back and forth between the power to drain things and the power to revive them, and the plant-type demon clans suffered unduly for it.â
The four demon gods: ââ¦â
âClan Leader Lu Chi of the Forest Fairies said that when he had felt himself wither, he thought that his end was near, and he had lain down inside the coffin which he had prepared beforehand. In the end, who knew that the power to revive would fall and engage in a tug-of-war with the power to drain thingsâ¦â
âAnd thenâ¦?â
âThen the whole clan watched Clan Leader Lu Chi do sit-ups in his coffin.â
ââ¦â
âIn addition to this, Lord Venerated Ox needs to handle the matter of Fellow Horse Face. He broke the rule of the peace consulate and was turned into demon sand by Demon Saintâs restriction punishment.â
âHorse Faceâs death was too wretchedâ¦â
Venerated Ox felt a sting in his nose. âWhere is his demon sand?â
âItâs still in the peace consulate, but Iâve already sent a little ghost over to take a look.â
Daoist Witch Demon said, âThereâs a possibility that Fellow Horse Faceâs ashes might have scattered due to how fierce the clash was between Lord Demon Saintâs and Immortal Zhenyuanâs aurasâ¦â
Venerated Oxâs expression was extremely pained. âMy mazi 1! Actually gone, just like thatâ¦â
The other demon gods: ââ¦â
â¦
Elsewhere, with Elder Wen leading the way, two men and a dog turned into three streams of light which swiftly approached the Holy Pillar.
From a long distance away, Loopy Toad saw a towering ancient bronze pillar, which resembled the Sea-Stabilizing Needle, appear on the horizon.
âSo this is the Holy Pillar?â
For some reason, Loopy Toad suddenly felt excited at the sight of this pillar.
Ah!
It really wanted toâ¦
Piss on the Holy Pillarâ¦
Wait! Why had it thought such a strange thing?
