Chapter 283: Thirty Years of Conflict with the Pantheon of Demons ‘Palace (1)
Counting the time, Su Mu had been cultivating in the Myriad Demon Palace for more than twenty years.
The previous King of Chu had died of illness two years ago, and then the Chu State had fallen into internal strife.
Qin took this opportunity to send troops to attack Chu and seized several cities in a row.
Now that the Chu Country had finally settled down, they were thinking of getting back at them.
Thus, there was this matter of borrowing the road to attack Qin.
There were many demons in the Qinchu Mountain Range, and it was fraught with danger.
With the strength of the Flying Dragon Army of Chu, they could kill their way to Qin.
However, there would definitely be casualties if they did this, and if they made too much noise, they would not be able to achieve the purpose of the surprise attack.
Therefore, Chu wanted the help of the Palace of Demons to open up the latter half of the path.
With the position of the Pantheon of Demons in the demon race, it was enough to complete this matter quietly and not let the State of Qin be on guard.
However, there were too many hidden dangers in this matter!
..
First, he had to consider whether the Chu Country’s target was really the Qin Country.
If Chu wanted to deal with the Myriad Demon Palace, they could not foolishly open up a path for them.
However, considering the attitude of the Chu General, Su Mu felt that the possibility of this was relatively small.
The Chu general named Zhong Liang had an arrogant and despotic appearance, and his attitude was extremely bad.
He said that he would ask for help from the Pantheon of Demons Palace, but he did not promise any benefits.
His posture was as if he was giving orders to a servant.
It was no wonder that the wolf goblin Leng Sha was so angry.
However, it was also because of this that Su Mu felt that Chu’s target should not be the Myriad Demon Palace. Otherwise, they would not have acted in such a manner.
However, even if the true purpose of the Chu Country was the same as what they said, this was still an extremely troublesome matter!
If the Pantheon of Demons swallowed their anger and opened up a path according to the requirements of the Chu Country, they would be able to escape.
The Chu Country was fine, but how should he explain it to the Qin Country?
However, if he did not agree, he would immediately offend the Chu Country.
Currently, the Chu Country’s national strength was stronger, and the Myriad Demon Palace was closer to the Chu Country!
This was a dilemma!
After Su Mu went through this matter in his mind, he could basically guess how the upper echelons of the Myriad Demon Palace would decide.
….
“Master, will our Myriad Demon Palace really agree to Chu’s unreasonable request?”
At this moment, Leng Sha asked Su Mu unwillingly.
Su Mu pondered for a moment before calmly saying:
” According to the style of the upper echelons of the Pantheon of Demons, they should agree.”
“However, it is very likely that they will think of a way to remind the Qin country at the last moment and try not to offend either side.”
“It seems like he’s on both sides. It’s not wise.”
Hearing this, Leng Sha’s expression became very ugly, and his eyes were filled with humiliation.
The Pantheon of Demons was sandwiched between Chu and Qin. They could have controlled the balance and reaped benefits from both sides.
However, in the past hundred years, the Qin and Chu countries had become stronger and stronger, but the Pantheon of Demons had not made much progress.
The widening gap in strength made the situation in the Pantheon of Demons very awkward.
Over the years, the leadership of the Pantheon of Demons had compromised everywhere and became weaker and weaker.
He was already so reluctant to back down.
If Su Mu was the one in charge, he would be a bit tougher.
For example, this time, if he wanted to borrow a path, he could, but he had to offer some benefits.
If the Chu Country dared to threaten him, Su Mu would dare to bring the entire Pantheon of Demons to join the Qin Country!
Even if the State of Qin did not take over the Myriad Demon Palace, it would not be easy for the State of Chu to destroy the Myriad Demon Palace.
The Qinchu Mountain Range stretched for thousands of miles and had millions of demons.
As the number one faction in the Qinchu Mountain Range, the Pantheon of Demons only needed to raise their arms and shout when faced with the invasion of the Chu Country, and there would definitely be a large number of people who would respond.
The Chu Country indeed had the ability to exterminate all the demons in the Qinchu Mountain Range.
However, a battle of this level would cause the Chu Country to suffer heavy losses!
Now that it was a time of great conflict, it was impossible for the Chu Country to spend its national strength on this.
Therefore, as long as the Pantheon of Demons put on a brave front, the Chu Country would definitely be in awe.
However, the Pantheon of Demons had been compromising and had lost its prestige among the demons.
After all these years, the Chu Country could be considered to have been controlled.
..
“Master, I can’t accept this!”
Leng Sha clenched his claws tightly, and blood flowed out of his palm. However, he was completely unaware of it.
It did not want to live in such humiliation.
It wanted to change its way of living!
Hearing this, Su Mu comforted:
“Only great power can change the current situation.”
“We don’t have enough strength right now, so we’ll have to endure for the time being.”
“One day, I will lead you to open up a new world for the demon race!”
Hearing these words, the wolf demon’s mood finally improved a bit, and his gaze towards Su Mu became even more adoring.
Seeing that Leng Sha had recovered, Su Mu ordered:
” Pass down the message that all the members of the Renaissance Society are not to participate in the operation to pave the way this time. They are to stay in the Pantheon of Demons and train.”
“Yes, sir! I understand.”
Leng Sha replied respectfully. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and asked Su Mu:
“By the way, when will you be able to break through, Master?”
“Soon, in the next few days.”
Su Mu replied casually.
“Just recently? That’s great!”
“Master’s foundation is stable. Once he enters the Zongshi realm, his cultivation speed will definitely be much faster than mine. It’s only a matter of time before he catches up to me.”
Hearing this, Leng Sha’s face finally showed a hint of joy.
In its eyes, Su Mu was the light that could guide the Monster race forward.
As the hope of the Monster Race, the stronger Su Mu was, the better.
The stronger he was, the brighter the future of the demon race would be!
“Alright, that’s all for now. Hurry up and pass on the notice.”
“Yes, sir! Disciple will go now.”
” Understood!” Leng Sha replied and left.
Looking at its departing figure, Su Mu’s eyes flashed and he began to ponder.
