Chapter 287: Demon Palace Martial God Appears, Killing People to Save Demons (2)
Although Shentu was powerful and had more than ten Zongshi realm subordinates by his side, he still felt a huge pressure.
This was the power of the masses!
Gathering sand could form a tower, and a drop of water could form an ocean!
This made Shentu angry and anxious. His heart was in a mess and he did not know how to deal with this matter.
Had it known that this day would come, it would have disbanded the Renaissance Society decades ago and prevented the damned organization from appearing in the Pantheon of Demons!
No!
If he could turn back time, the first thing he would do was to kill Su Mu and stop everything from happening.
He was a great scourge!
However, it was too late to say anything now. The biggest problem now was how to resolve this matter.
While Shentu was vexed and angry, Su Mu brought the core members of Renaissance Society and thousands of little demons, approaching it step by step!
“I’ll give you five more breaths of time. If you still don’t let go of the members under me, then only one of us can live today.”
“5.. 4.. 3..”
Su Mu began to count down after saying this.
His face was cold, his voice was steady, but there was a determination in his eyes!
Shentu did not doubt that this guy had the determination to fight to the death!
At this moment, even though he felt that his side was stronger, Shentu could not help but be frightened by Su Mu’s aura.
He started to retreat unconsciously.
It had never thought that Su Mu would turn against it completely for the sake of a few little demons under his command, and even fight to the death!
It was just a few little demons. Was there a need to do that?
Wouldn’t it be great to throw it to Chu in exchange for peace?
What Shentu did not know was that this was the biggest difference between him and Su Mu in the eyes of the demons.
You don’t care about them, and they don’t care about you.
This was how people lost their hearts.
And Su Mu’s extreme protectiveness of his children made all the little gremlins feel an unprecedented warmth. Who wouldn’t be moved?
The feeling of being cared for was wonderful.
..
“Wait, I…”
Seeing that the countdown was about to end, Shentu Xin had the intention to retreat. He was already prepared to let go of these little gremlins.
However, at this moment, a loud voice resounded in the sky and entered the ears of every demon.
“Stop!”
This shout seemed to have magical power, causing all the demons to instantly freeze on the spot. The tense atmosphere also dissipated.
“You finally can’t sit still anymore?”
Su Mu’s heart skipped a beat. He knew that the Martial God Realm Demon King of the Myriad Demon Palace was finally going to make his move.
He looked up and saw an old goat walking over with a walking stick. Its long white beard fluttered in the wind, and it looked like a fairy.
This was a Great Elder of the Pantheon of Demons, Venerable White Sheep.
Its movements seemed slow, but in reality, it had crossed several miles in just a few steps, arriving between Su Mu and Shentu.
“What happened? It’s like this.”
Venerable White Sheep Aries looked at the two of them and asked slowly, like a kind old man.
The arrival of this First Elder gave Shentu confidence again.
It first bowed respectfully to the old goat and then said,
“Grand Elder, it’s like this. These little demons killed a few disciples of the Chu Country’s Fire Controlling Sect. I want to send them to the Fire Controlling Sect to settle this matter.”
“As the old saying goes, it’s only right and proper to pay with one’s life.”
“This subordinate believes that there is no problem with this method, but this instructor, or rather, the president of the Renaissance Society, is unwilling. He even brought a large group of little demons to force me to release the demons.”
“Offending your superiors like this is really detestable!”
“If we don’t punish them, I’m afraid it won’t be long before they don’t put the elders and even the sect master in their eyes!”
Under Su Mu’s pressure, Shentu was filled with anger.
Now that he had the chance, he started to add fuel to the fire, wishing that Venerable White Sheep could slap Su Mu to death.
He even emphasized Su Mu’s status as the president of Revival Society, hinting that he had the intention to rebel.
..
Hearing Shentu’s words, Ling, Leng Sha, Meng Li, and the other lesser demons all looked worried, afraid that Venerable White Sheep would blame Su Mu.
But Su Mu didn’t panic.
After decades, he had already figured out the situation of the Pantheon of Demons.
The Martial God Realm elders and the Palace Master did not care about worldly affairs all year round. They were focused on cultivating in seclusion.
To put it bluntly, they only enjoyed the resources brought by the Pantheon of Demons without doing anything.
Of course, the Pantheon of Demons was only able to stand tall because of their reputation.
Without the support of a Martial God Realm expert, the Myriad Demon Palace would have long been destroyed by the Chu Country or the other demons in the mountain range.
To these elders and Palace Masters, maintaining the current situation was the most important thing.
Su Mu was now on the side of the people, and more than half of the lesser demons in the Myriad Demon Palace were on his side.
In order to maintain stability, it was impossible for the Venerable of White Aries to punish him severely.
However, he was definitely biased towards Shentu.
Shentu’s attitude was actually the same as those Elders and Palace Masters.
Otherwise, it would not be able to continue as a deacon.
..
After Shentu finished speaking, Su Mu bowed slightly to Venerable White Sheep and said unhurriedly,
“Elder, the Fire Controlling Sect’s disciples infiltrated the mountain range and clashed with our Myriad Demon Palace’s disciples. It turned into a battle.”
“In this battle, eight disciples of the Fire Controlling Sect were killed, and one of our Myriad Demon Palace’s demons died and two were heavily injured.”
“The Fire Controlling Sect invaded our Myriad Demon Palace’s territory and caused this battle.”
“We were just defending ourselves. How can we talk about killing people to pay for their lives? Why do you have to apologize?”
“If you really want to count, the Fire Controlling Sect should apologize to us!”
Hearing this, the expression of the Shentu turned gloomy once again.
