Taking Control of Demon Hand Mountain

After confirming his promise to rescue the suppressed demonic hand, Wu Xuemei had no intention of lingering any longer. He turned and decisively left, following beside Wu Xuemei.

Zhuge Xiang was surprised. Despite the danger and even facing two powerful Asura King, her purpose in coming here was simply to determine the conditions for saving this demonic hand.

"What should we do with these Asura?" Upon arriving outside Demon Hand Mountain and looking at the remaining Asura and Female Rakshasa, Zhuge Xiang asked Wu Xuemei.

Ghost Shadow King is dead, Great Strength King Ye has escaped. This Demon Hand Mountain has now become the main territory. If these Asura and Female Rakshasa are allowed to roam freely, the news that the demon arm is being suppressed inside will likely leak out soon.

"That is indeed a problem..." Wu Xuemei murmured, her long, delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly.

Even if we kill these Asura and Female Rakshasa, other Asura and Female Rakshasa will surely come, and by then, news of the demonic arm will quickly leak out as well.

"Do you have any good ideas on how to solve this?" After pondering for a long time, Wu Xuemei had no idea how to prevent others from knowing about the demonic arm, so she turned to Zhuge Xiang and asked for his opinion.

"Actually, the solution is quite simple..." Hearing Wu Xuemei's question, Zhuge Xiang smiled and said, "Didn't we already deal with Ghost Shadow King and Great Strength King? We can just do the same."

"You mean... that I conquer these Asura and Female Rakshasa, and you seize Demon Hand Mountain as your own king?" Zhuge Xiang's words caused Wu Xuemei's eyes to widen in astonishment.

"This method is good, but I need to collect the Dragon's Eye and the Phoenix Feather, and I don't have time to manage these people," Wu Xuemei shook her head, a troubled look on her face.

However, Wu Xuemei's gaze immediately fell on Zhuge Xiang, and her eyes lit up slightly.

"What? What do you mean by that look?" Zhuge Xiang asked, feigning fear and timidity, as Wu Xuemei stared at him strangely.

"Hehehe..." Wu Xuemei Zhuge Xiang, revealed a sinister smile and said, "Of course I'm going to make my move on you. This time at Demon Hand Mountain, you put in more effort than I did. How about you take on the role of the leader of Demon Hand Mountain?"

"Ding! Quest 'Demon Left Hand' triggered. Quest requirements: Help Wu Xuemei successfully unseal the Demon Left Hand. Quest success rewards 100 million Experience Points, a random Lingbao- level equipment, and 1 Skill Jade Talisman. Quest failure deducts all Experience Points for the current level. Accept/Reject."

As soon as Wu Xuemei finished speaking, the mechanical system notification sounded in Zhuge Xiang's mind. Hearing this sound, Zhuge Xiang was slightly taken aback. He really thought the reward for this mission was too generous.

One hundred million Experience Points is enough for Zhuge Xiang to raise his cultivation to the Gathering Origin Stage. Moreover, the Lingbao- level equipment and Skill Jade Talisman are all good things. After pondering for a moment, Zhuge Xiang accepted this rewarding mission.

"So, how exactly should we 'operate' this?" Although he had accepted the task, Zhuge Xiang didn't rush to agree to Wu Xuemei 'Wu Xuemei request. Instead, he asked her.

Zhuge Xiang accept her going to find something to unseal the demon's arm, but if she insisted on managing the affairs of Demon Hand Mountain by herself, he wouldn't have the energy to put into it.

"You're the boss, so naturally you're in charge of everything. How about it? With a subordinate like me by your side, you can do whatever you want," Wu Xuemei said to Zhuge Xiang with a seductive smile, clearly implying something.

"No, if you like, you can be the boss," Wu Xuemei said, almost using her looks to seduce Zhuge Xiang, but Zhuge Xiang didn't fall for it and waved his hand, refusing directly.

"What? Am I not pretty enough?" Upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's resolute rejection, Wu Xuemei looked as if she was about to cry.

"No, I can't be fully responsible for the work at Demon Hand Mountain. Of course, if you want to keep me company, I won't refuse," Zhuge Xiang teasingly said, gently lifting Wu Xuemei's delicate, fair chin with his finger.

"You're really good at scheming, trying to take advantage of me without putting in any effort." After fighting side by side through life and death, their friendship was clearly extraordinary, and they could withstand this kind of teasing. Wu Xuemei slapped Zhuge Xiang's hand away in annoyance and glared at him. That glare was truly full of charm.

"What? Taking advantage of you? Wasn't it you who took advantage of me? I know you've always had inappropriate thoughts about me. I was just sacrificing a little to accommodate you," Zhuge Xiang stared wide-eyed at Wu Xuemei, his face filled with astonishment.

"Well, so your biggest characteristic is your shamelessness..." Wu Xuemei shook her head helplessly and sighed after hearing Zhuge Xiang's shameless words.

"Hehe, thanks for the compliment," but what made Wu Xuemei even more speechless was Zhuge Xiang's shameless, even proud, demeanor.

"Alright, alright, at worst, we can work together to solve the problem of Demon Hand Mountain, okay? But when I need to leave frequently to collect Dragon's Eye and Phoenix Feather, you'll have to take on more responsibility for the Demon Hand Mountain situation." Seeing that Zhuge Xiang was determined not to fall for her trap, Wu Xuemei Nai had no choice but to back down.

"It's still more effort on my part," Zhuge Xiang, his face full of difficulty. However, since Wu Xuemei had already backed down, Zhuge Xiang didn't insist on pursuing the matter further. He pretended to be magnanimous, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, since that's the case, I'll take the loss and let you have your way. While you're busy, I'll take care of things at Demon Hand Mountain."

"Thank you..." Upon hearing Zhuge Xiang finally agree, Wu Xuemei Zhuge Xiang to him with a joyful expression, and at the same time, quickly kissed Zhuge Xiang on the cheek.

"This isn't because I'm interested in you. I'm just giving you a little reward. If you want more rewards later, it depends on your performance," Wu Xuemei, her every move exuding a captivating charm.

Her words stirred within one an impulse, a desire to dedicate oneself wholeheartedly to obtaining the subsequent rewards, even unto death.

However, the Sword Soul in Zhuge Xiang's mind shone with dazzling divine light. After being tempered by the Altar of Sacrifice, it was as hard as steel and could not be "bewitched" by her so-called charm.

"Go away, go away, is this your reward for me? I've been taken advantage of again, how am I supposed to have the motivation to keep working hard..." Zhuge Xiang waved his hand impatiently, pretending to have suffered a great loss.

"Your shamelessness is no match for mine..." At this moment, knowing that no matter what she did, she couldn't outshine Zhuge Xiang's shamelessness, Wu Xuemei stopped wasting time chatting with him. She rolled her eyes at him, turned around, and flew towards the remaining Asura and Female Rakshasa of Demon Hand Mountain.

"Hehe..." Watching Senior Sister Wu Xuemei's departing figure, Zhuge Xiang touched his cheek in his Demonic True Body state. It was soft and warm. Zhuge Xiang smiled and followed her.

"What do we do? They're out..." They had thought that Zhuge Xiang and Wu Xuemei would leave after finishing their business, but seeing that Zhuge Xiang two of them were heading straight for them, many of the remaining Asura and Female Rakshasa couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

Now his life was no longer in his own hands. If he had known this would happen, he would have done the same as the others and escaped as soon as the two entered the Forbidden Ground.

Although Wu Xuemei arrived before the Asura and Female Rakshasa first, she didn't intend to give them a lecture. Instead, she let Zhuge Xiang take on the role of the leader. After gathering everyone together, she said, "All of you, quiet down. He has something to say to you."

Immediately, Wu Xuemei gave Zhuge Xiang a wink, signaling Zhuge Xiang to come up and speak to the Asura and Female Rakshasa.

Zhuge Xiang sighed inwardly. Having come from Beggar background, he understood the sorrow of the weak. Therefore, the thing Zhuge Xiang disliked most was bullying the weak.

But now, the lives of these Asura and Female Rakshasa are in his own hands. If he doesn't use some ruthless methods, he probably won't be able to intimidate them.

"Do you want to live or die?" Zhuge Xiang stepped forward. Although he had compressed his size, his Demonic True Body, which was over ten feet long, still exerted a heavy pressure on people. Zhuge Xiang spoke directly to these Asura and Female Rakshasa, asking them directly and without any beating around the bush.

"We want to live..." Unexpectedly, Zhuge Xiang's first question was about these people. The Asura and Female Rakshasa looked at each other in bewilderment, and then expressed their opinions one after another.

"Very good." Seeing that none of these Asura and Female Rakshasa were troublemakers, Zhuge Xiang nodded in satisfaction and said, "You all know the situation at Demon Hand Mountain. I have already killed Ghost Shadow King, and Great Strength King has been scared away. Now I intend to take control of Demon Hand Mountain. Those who obey me can stay, and those who do not wish to can leave now. I will not stop them. However, if those who stay cause trouble behind the scenes, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's words, the Asura and Female Rakshasa were stunned. They hadn't expected Zhuge Xiang to say this. After a brief silence, they hurriedly cried out, "We are willing to submit! We are willing to submit..." (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote and give it a monthly pass on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m to read.)
