Steering the Crowd! (Happy New Year)

"What? You want to cooperate with the Demon Realm?"

The Kui-Phoenix Clan's proposal alarmed the entire Yao Realm, moving many Demon Kings.

These Demon Kings originally thought this was just an ordinary Myriad Races Conference, but they never expected that the Kui-Phoenix Clan was actually planning to cooperate with the Demon Realm to launch a large-scale attack on the Immortal Realm, and even brought it up at this Myriad Races Conference.

Once the Demon God and Demon Gods agree, a great war sweeping across the Three Realms is imminent.

Even the most unruly Demon King fell silent.

The war Three Realms is no joke; countless powerful Demon Race will perish.

Even the Demon God was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

The Kui-Phoenix Clan Chief said slowly, "Originally, all Three Realms belonged to our Demon Race. If we hadn't lost the High Antiquity War and were left with only one realm, we wouldn't be fighting over territory. By joining forces with the Demon Realm and dividing the Immortal Realm, our territory could expand by half."

"Expand the territory by half?"

Upon hearing this, the various Demon Race were intrigued.

The Immortal Realm is rich in Spiritual Qi. If one could obtain half of the Immortal Realm, the resources allocated to each Tribe would also increase by half.

The Demon God asked, "How confident are you?"

"At least 80%."

Which Demon Venerable lord is in charge of this matter?

"The Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable."

Kui-Phoenix Clan Chief revealed the name of the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable, many Demon Kings were moved.

The Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable is one of the most powerful Demon Venerable, even surpassing the vast majority of Demon Kings in strength.

The World-Destroying Black Dragon was severely injured by the Taihua Goddess, yet the Taihua Goddess was unable to gain any advantage over the Demon Lord of Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable, which is enough to demonstrate the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable's strength.

Of all the powerful Demon Race present, aside from the Demon God, none dared to claim they could defeat the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable in a direct confrontation.

The Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable negotiated with the Kui-Phoenix Clan Chief is enough to demonstrate the "sincerity" of the Demon Realm.

Lu Changsheng's face was grim.

Unexpectedly, the Kui-Phoenix Clan launched an attack at this Myriad Races Conference, attempting to provoke a war Three Realms.

If the Demon Realm and the Yao Realm join forces, the Immortal Realm will likely find it difficult to resist.

This matter must be ruined.

The Demon God asked again, "What is the Demon Marshal's attitude?"

The gazes of many Demon Kings fell upon the Kui-Phoenix Clan Chief.

They wanted to know the attitude of the Demon Marshal who ruled the Demon Realm.

If the Demon Realm goes all out, combined with the strength of the Yao Realm, defeating the Immortal Realm Heavenly Court would not be a problem.

Lu Changsheng was also completely focused.

The current Demon Marshal is Dugu Mietian, Dugu Aotian's father.

This will allow us to understand Dugu Mietian's attitude during this Calamity.

Wu raised the bronze vessel and drank it all in one gulp. "The Demon Marshal is young; important matters should be decided by the Demon Venerable. In High Antiquity, the Heavenly Court slaughtered many of our kin and seized numerous blessed lands and grotto- Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land. This grudge must be avenged."

As expected, Demon Marshal Dugu Mietian, who had ruled the Demon Realm for tens of millions of years, was far less experienced than the Demon Venerable who had survived from High Antiquity.

With the Demon Venerable joining forces, Dugu Mietian is largely rendered powerless.

Lu Changsheng roughly understood the situation in the Demon Realm.

The Demon Venerable were unwilling to accept defeat in the High Antiquity War and wanted to make a comeback, but they felt that their strength was inferior to that of the Heavenly Court, so they planned to join forces with the Yao Realm.

The Yao Realm has many Demon Kings who survived from High Antiquity, and they are equally unwilling to accept defeat, so most of them would agree.

As expected, the World-Destroying Black Dragon was the first to voice its support. "As early as High Antiquity, I opposed peace talks. I have never forgotten the humiliation of the past. The Human Race was supposed to be our food, but instead they stole two-thirds of our territory. Now is the time for revenge. With the Demon Venerable's help, the Heavenly Court will be crushed under our feet."

The Great King Heavenly Sage chimed in, "Indeed, several Primordial Human Race Emperors have perished, leaving only the Heavenly Emperor. What do we have to fear?"

The Kui-Phoenix Clan Chief delivered a bombshell. "As far as I know, the Heavenly Emperor 'Dao Seal is damaged, and the Heavenly Court is currently at its weakest."

"The Heavenly Emperor is injured?"

The various races of the Yao Realm were immediately in an uproar.

The Heavenly Emperor is hailed as the strongest being in the Three Realms. Even the Devil Master was defeated by him. Successive Demon Gods could only barely contend with the Heavenly Emperor and prevent the Heavenly Court's influence from entering the Yao Realm. However, apart from the Primordial Demon Gods, all other Demon Gods acknowledged that their strength was inferior to that of the Heavenly Emperor.

Now that the Heavenly Emperor is injured, it's no wonder that the Demon Realm and the war-loving Demon King are stirring up trouble.

"The Heavenly Emperor is injured, Human Race has no Great Emperor. With the Demon God leading us, victory is assured this time."

"With the Demon Realm's assistance and Human Race's internal strife, it is time for revenge."

Just as Lu Changsheng had predicted, the High Antiquity war-loving Demon King, seeing this as a good opportunity for revenge, indeed began to clamor.

The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan, the White Marsh Clan, and other Tribes have not made any statement.

Judging from their expressions, these Tribes were likely peacemakers from High Antiquity times.

The Demon God remained calm, seemingly observing the reactions of the various tribes.

If the pro-war faction gains the upper hand, he will likely agree with their ideas.

After all, the Demon God represents the interests of the Demon Race.

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath; he had no choice but to take the risk.

"In my opinion, joining forces with the Demon Realm is tantamount to seeking help from a tiger."

Lu Changsheng's words interrupted the clamoring pro-war Demon Kings.

Now, all the Demon Kings ' gazes fell on Lu Changsheng.

"The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan?"

"This Lesser Yao looks unfamiliar."

The Demon Kings did not recognize Lu Changsheng.

This might be a junior member of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan.

Even the patriarch of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan looked at this Human Race Xiuzhenzhe in astonishment.

A Human Race Xiuzhenzhe actually dared to speak at the Myriad Races Conference Assembly.

It should be noted that the World-Destroying Black Dragon, the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon, the Divine Ape King, the Great King Heavenly Sage, the Great King Sacred Deer, the Chitie Demon Ox King, and other Demon Kings are not benevolent men and women. If they were to discover Lu Changsheng's identity Human Race Xiuzhenzhe, he would most likely be torn to shreds.

However, under these circumstances, Lu Changsheng's audacity to disrupt the Kui-Phoenix Clan's plans was truly unexpected and earned her considerable admiration.

"Master..."

Ji Xuan was secretly anxious and could only pray that the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan's secret Medicinal Pills would work and allow them to deceive everyone.

"You little brat from the Fox Clan, it's none of your business to interfere in our kings' council."

The Kui-Phoenix Clan Chief was deeply dissatisfied.

Just as the pro-war faction was about to gain the upper hand, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan suddenly intervened, making him suspect that this fox demon represented the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan, so he quickly suppressed it.

"You're just a junior, it's not your place to speak."

Even the World-Destroying Black Dragon had a stern face.

This is a golden opportunity to take revenge on the Taihua Sacred Ground; we cannot let a fox demon ruin it.

If the World-Destroying Black Dragon goes to the Immortal Realm alone to seek revenge on the Taihua Sacred Ground, it will inevitably be captured by the Heavenly Court. However, if it provokes a war Three Realms, the situation will be different.

The Heavenly Court is too busy dealing with various forces to spare the energy to protect the Taihua Sacred Ground.

The oppressive aura emanating from the pro-war Demon Kings pressed down on Lu Changsheng like a mountain range, making it extremely difficult for Lu Changsheng to speak.

One of the Demon Kings was far more powerful than Lu Changsheng, and the fact that dozens of pro-war Demon Kings were putting pressure on him was clearly an attempt to prevent Lu Changsheng from ruining their plans.

Suddenly, an invisible force intervened, dissolving the oppressive aura of the Demon Kings.

The Demon God's black and white pupils reflected Lu Changsheng's image, and he slowly said, "Tell me your thoughts."

With the Demon God speaking like this, the pro-war Demon Kings could no longer exert pressure, otherwise they would be openly opposing the Demon God.

The Demon God is nominally the supreme ruler of the Demon Race, and all the Demon God Demon Kings must obey his orders.

Even if the Heavenly Emperor is injured, these Demon Gods will be difficult to deal with if the Demon Gods don't intervene.

Even the strongest being in the Three Realms, if injured, might not be someone they could defeat.

Under the scrutiny of the Demon God's black and white eyes, Lu Changsheng felt as if he could see right through him. Lu Changsheng even doubted whether the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan's Medicinal Pills could hide from the Demon God's black and white eyes.

However, regardless of whether the Demon God can identify it or not, the fact that the Demon God hasn't taken action suggests that it's likely a proponent of peace?

Lu Changsheng keenly grasped this point and felt confident.

The pro-war faction has not yet gained a complete advantage and still has the ability to turn the tide.

"The Demon Realm is also made Human Race, yet they've allied with our Demon Race. They probably have ulterior motives; they won't send us to our deaths, but rather they want to reap the benefits."

Lu Changsheng started to set the pace.

"It's not impossible."

"Those Human Race from the Demon Realm, under the leadership of the Devil Master, killed many of our Demon Race during the High Antiquity War. We haven't figured out their intentions yet, and we might really be used as pawns."

Some of the peace-loving Demon Kings finally spoke up.

They're just waiting for someone to take the lead.

Lu Changsheng took the lead, and the pro-peace faction began to fight back.

The Kui-Phoenix Clan Chief snorted coldly, "The Demon Realm and we share a common enemy, the Heavenly Court. What's wrong with us joining forces to destroy the Heavenly Court and divide the Immortal Realm equally?"

"There are many problems. Why would the Demon Realm cooperate with us? Why did the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable seek out your Kui-Phoenix Clan first? Did your Kui-Phoenix Clan receive any benefits from the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable? Otherwise, why would the Kui-Phoenix Clan go to such lengths?"

Lu Changsheng began to question the Kui-Phoenix Clan.

All the demons' gazes fell on the Kui-Phoenix Clan Chief.

Lu Changsheng's suspicions were now even more valid.

Could it be that the Kui-Phoenix Clan is so actively promoting this matter because they've received benefits from the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable?

It's not scarcity that's the problem, but inequality.

The Kui-Phoenix Clan receives extra benefits, while other Demon Race receive nothing but have to fight desperately. Isn't that clearly unfair?

Is what he said true?

"What benefits did the Kui-Phoenix Clan receive from the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable?"

The focus of attention for all the Demon Kings shifted to the deal between the Kui-Phoenix Clan and the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable.

Lu Changsheng is right. If there were no benefits, why would the Kui-Phoenix Clan be so actively promoting this matter?

The most reasonable explanation is that the Kui-Phoenix Clan received benefits from the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable.

As for what kind of deal the Kui-Phoenix Clan made with the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable, that remains unproven.

No matter what the Kui-Phoenix Clan Chief says, many Demon Kings will be suspicious.

The Eight Desolate Fire Dragon stared at Lu Changsheng.

This fox demon gave him a familiar feeling, but he couldn't quite put his finger on where he had seen it before.

He's so good at setting the tone.

The focus of the Myriad Races Conference shifted from whether to cooperate with the Demon Realm to the deal between the Kui-Phoenix Clan and the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable; the topic was completely diverted.

Faced with questions from numerous tribes, the Kui-Phoenix Clan Chief gripped his wine vessel tightly, causing it to dent inwards.

If this weren't the Myriad Races Conference, and if Lu Changsheng weren't a member of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan, he would have already annihilated this Lesser Yao: "A mere Lesser Yao dares to confuse the public and hinder our Demon Race's great cause of revival."

"I just didn't want our Tribe to be taken advantage of. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so noble as to sacrifice myself for others."

Lu Changsheng's tone was neither warm nor cold, but anyone with discerning eyes could sense the sarcasm in it.

What a sharp-tongued brat!

Some of the more Great Demons understood Lu Changsheng's meaning and thought that what he said made sense.

In their eyes, since Lu Changsheng is a "fox demon" of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan and represents the interests of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan, it is only natural that he would not want to be tricked by the Kui-Phoenix Clan.

Not all Tribes, after experiencing the devastating High Antiquity War, wanted to go through another war Three Realms.

It is only reasonable that the benefits outweigh the potential losses.

The Kui-Phoenix Clan Chief, the World-Destroying Black Dragon, the Great King Heavenly Sage, the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python, the Divine Ape King, and other pro-war Demon Kings had their eyes practically spitting fire, wishing they could tear Lu Changsheng, who was in their way, apart.

Because of Lu Changsheng's appearance, the pro-peace faction will use Lu Changsheng as a wedge to oppose the start of a war Three Realms.

The Kui-Phoenix Clan Chief attempted to explain, "Our Kui-Phoenix Clan prioritizes the interests of the Demon Race and seeks revenge for our defeat years ago. We did not accept bribes from the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable..."

"Who would believe you if you said you didn't receive any benefits from the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable?"

Lu Changsheng interrupted the Kui-Phoenix Clan Chief before he could finish speaking.

The Kui-Phoenix Clan Chief wanted to swallow this annoying brat whole.

The Demon God is easy to talk to, but the Lesser Yao are really troublesome.

The Kui-Phoenix Clan Chief was already corrupt; how can this be further explained?

No matter how you explain, the other Demon Kings are suspicious, and you can't clear your name even if you jump into the Yellow River.

After leaving the Kui-Phoenix Clan Chief speechless, Lu Changsheng continued, "Currently, the Three Realms maintain a delicate balance, with each side keeping to itself. The resources possessed by each power are sufficient to allow new geniuses to emerge from each race, far from the point where they must fight to the death for survival. It's better to maintain the status quo and reduce variables."

Lu Changsheng's words moved both the peace faction and the neutral Demon King.

These Tribes are far from being at the point where they would fight to the death for a little bit of Cultivation Resources; maintaining the status quo is fine.

Once a Calamity erupts in the Three Realms, even Demon King with extraordinary cultivation wouldn't dare say he could save his life.

Even supreme beings of the level of Primordial Demon Gods, the Azure Emperor, the White Emperor, the Devil Master, the Demon Marshal, and the Old Dragon Emperor perished in the two High Antiquity Wars, let alone these lower-level Demon Kings.

The Demon God surveyed the numerous Demon Kings. "What is your final opinion?"

The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan Chief spoke up, "The Calamity of the Three Realms is too unpredictable; it would be better to observe and wait."

Unexpected.

The patriarch of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan was the first to publicly support him.

Lu Changsheng was secretly surprised.

This time, I guessed right.

In the eyes of the other Demon Kings, since the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan Chief supported Lu Changsheng's view, then Lu Changsheng was just a pawn used by the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan to cause trouble. They couldn't help but secretly admire the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan Chief for his clever tactic of using a bait to pique Lu Changsheng's interest.

"Let's maintain the status quo. We're not that lacking in Cultivation Resources, and we don't want heavy casualties."

"Although the Heavenly Emperor is injured, no one knows the extent of his injuries. Going to war with the Heavenly Court is far too dangerous."

Both the peace faction and the neutral faction supported the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan.

The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan led the opposition, and they were not afraid of retaliation from the pro-war Demon King.

The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan also produced Demon Race Goddess, who held an extremely high status.

"Court death."

Seeing that the peace faction was gaining the upper hand, the Kui-Phoenix Clan Chief knew that his proposal for the Myriad Races Conference had failed, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
