Almost two thousand years ago, when the Demon Emperor had to retreat from Nine Provinces and Ten Lands, the Demon Realm had already begun to change, but these undercurrents were all suppressed while the Demon Emperor was still alive.
All parties in the demon world seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they were all waiting for the death of this demon emperor who had no further hope.
Finally, with the demon emperor’s funeral as a signal, seven days after the demon emperor was buried in the Royal Valley, the four demon kings of the twenty-eight counties of the northern demon rose in rebellion, and named the White Bear King as the new demon emperor.
Under the banner of “all demons are equal”, they vowed to defeat the royal nine-headed dragon clan, destroyed the bloodline-based order, and established a new order for the demon race.
Almost at the same time, prime minister Yun Kun, who was temporarily in charge after the demon emperor’s death, brought a three-headed horned dragon with the blood of the demon emperor back to the demon dynasty.
Under his arrangement, the prince successfully ascended the throne and became the emperor, and the Dragon King and Ape King who ruled the Eastern Demon Realm also expressed their support for the new emperor and protested against the rebellion of the Northern Demon.
At this time, the Black Snake King and other Demon Kings who had concluded a deal with Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue also pushed Su Xiangxue out as the rightful heir.
They also called the rebellious White Bear King in the northern demon world and the prime minister Yun Kun, who controlled the imperial guard, traitors. They said that Prime Minister Yun Kun used the illegitimate child of the last demon emperor as the puppet to control the government, and demons should crown Su Xiangxue as the new empress.
In a sense, the statement of the Black Snake King was quite popular, because although Su Xiangxue followed Bai Qiuran back to the demon world for the first time in her life, all demon clans of the demon world knew her name, after all, the demon emperor has officially declared Su Xiangxue to be the princess and gave her a big county to rule.
By the way, the county that the Demon King entrusted to Su Xiangxue belonged to the twenty-eight counties of the Northern Demon.
In short, the demon world was divided into three factions in an instant. The wind and clouds gathered and the three parties fought for the throne. In addition, some demons took the opportunity to make chaos in the corner area, occupying the mountain as the king, and for a while, the demon world was full of warfare.
The White Bear King of the Northern Demon has gathered an army of nearly 20,000 demons in the entire twenty-eight counties. All of them could transform into human form, which meant the average level of the army was higher than that of Bai Qiuran.
With an army of 20,000 Golden Core stage demons, the White Bear King traveled all the way south like breaking the bamboo, and the elite Imperial City Army of the Demon Dynasty also wiped out all obstacles.
Of course, since the two sides are unstoppable, being their opponents, the army led by the Black Snake King was naturally defeated continuously.
In two months, the rebel army in the north and the imperial guard army in the east had already invaded the final pass of the western demon world from the east and north respectively. Before Yanshan Pass, the two armies could directly attack the main city of the four demon king camp.
“You guys are really too weak…”
In the lobby of the Black Snake King’s Palace, Bai Qiuran looked at the four demon kings sitting on the left and right in silence.
“You said that Xiangxue just needs to play the banner, the fight is your business. We both agree, but you ended up fighting like this? Do you know how to fight at all?”
Because Su Xiangxue has been pushed out as the nominal leader, the seats of the Demon Kings have also been adjusted. The Black Snake King gave up his main seat and sat with the other three Demon Kings, and Su Xiangxue sat on the place where he was originally sitting. Bai Qiuran stood beside Su Xiangxue with his arms folded, like her guard.
Hearing Bai Qiuran’s remarks, the four demon kings reacted differently. The Golden-Winged Eagle King didn’t respond, as if he didn’t care about winning or losing. The only female, Flower King, snorted very unconvincingly but did not speak. The Crocodile King seemed to want to explain, but when he saw Bai Qiuran, he swallowed the words back. Only the Black Snake King heard the words and explained with a wry smile:
“Sword Patriarch, we are in a one-to-two situation. The White Bear King and Prime Minister Yun Kun have reached a consensus privately, they have joined forces to attack our territory from the very beginning. Moreover, our army is not adapted to the hard land environment.”
“Well, Black Snake King, you don’t have to explain it anymore. Qiu Ran, don’t just sit there, say a few words.”
Su Xiangxue said:
“It just so happens that these two armies merged in front of Yanshan Pass. Next, let us both take action and finish the transaction.”
Hearing that, there was a burst of joy on the faces of the four demon kings, and the black snake king asked in surprise:
“Is Sword Patriarch going to make a move?”
“Of course. Do you think I want to see you being flattened?”
Bai Qiuran glanced at the Four Demon Kings with contempt, then turned to Su Xiangxue and said:
“Xiang Xue, the army will temporarily mobilize let me, is it okay?”
“I have no opinion.”
Su Xiangxue looked at the demon kings.
“Of course you four have no opinion, right?”
Damn!
The four demon kings cursed in their hearts at the same time, but the Black Snake King still pressed his colleague’s back and nodded hurriedly:
“Of course, we have no objection!”
——————–
“My King!”
Outside the Yanshan Pass, in the camp of the White Bear King, a bear demon suddenly broke in and knelt on the ground on one knee.
“What’s the matter?”
The White Bear King, who was looking at the map with his back to him, turned around and asked.
As the leader of the civilian demon race against the nobles of the demon world, the White Bear King looked like a calm and burly white-haired middle-aged man dressed in white fur. He has one eye covered by a black blindfold, and his burly muscle revealed countless hideous scars crawled on his cheeks and body.
The bear demon raised his head, looked at his master, and reported:
“The false emperor sent an envoy over.”
The “pseudo emperor” in his mouth was the new demon emperor who was enthroned with the assistance of Yun Kun. As a rebel army, the White Bear King’s army did not recognize the authority of this demon emperor.
“Let him in.”
The White Bear King ordered.
After a while, a demon clan dressed as a civil official walked in from outside the camp and arched his hands to the White Bear King:
“This lowly official see Your Highness the White Bear Demon King.”
“The Demon Emperor is dead, and I am no longer your Demon King.”
The White Bear King said lightly:
“You don’t have to show off these pseudo-dynasty tricks with me.”
“Even so, this lowly official is loyal to His Majesty, and naturally must speak from his position.”
The messenger replied neither humble nor arrogant:
“So in the eyes of this lowly official, Your Highness is the White Bear King for a day, that means Your Highness is a Demon King who lived under His Majesty’s rule for a day.”
“You are so courageous.”
The White Bear King lazily sat down on his fur-covered seat.
“Yun Fengge sent two messengers before you. They are all idiots who can’t spit out ivory. Tell him, don’t use me as his garbage disposal plant.”
“This official will transfer your words.”
“Let’s talk about it, for what purpose Yun Fengge asking you to come to see me?”
The White Bear King supported his head with one hand and asked lazily.
“The prime minister already knows the plan of Your Highness.”
The messenger slowly said:
“The prime minister sent me here to tell Your Highness… the prime minister is willing to cooperate with your actions to help you capture Sword Patriarch.”
