Chapter 81 Helpless Contact
Shouyang Mountain, or should it be renamed the capital of "Equal Heaven".
Although he was facing south and proclaimed himself emperor, Jin Bing still maintained his original simple style. He did not build a magnificent palace for the Demon King, but only slightly expanded the previous chief's hut to accommodate the court meetings of all officials in the Heavenly Court.
It's not that he doesn't have the ability to make it more luxurious. In fact, it should be more luxurious. After all, it is the residence of the Demon King of Heaven and one of the only two power centers in the prehistoric world. It's better for it to be gorgeous and grand.
But in order to constantly remind himself of the ultimate ideal of three reincarnations, Jin Bing rejected the splendor and forcibly used the simplest chief's hut as the Demon King's Palace.
As for why he is called “Demon Emperor” instead of “Human Emperor”?
This question is very important, because although Jin Bing’s foundation is the human race, he advocates the equality of all races. If the term "Human Emperor" is used, although it can be explained by the "man" in "heaven, earth and man", who can blame him for having a human race named "man" under his command?
Using the Human Emperor would not be conducive to uniting the vast majority of the demon race.
The concept of "demon race" has actually become quite popular after hundreds of Yuanhui of promotion by Emperor Jun. No matter what each race thinks in their hearts, at least on the surface they still have a certain sense of belonging to the "demon race".
So Jin Bing called himself "Demon King".
But coincidentally, the witch tribe, which was originally regarded as their own camp, turned against them. The two sides became hostile and directly turned into a replica of the "Witch-Lich War"...
There are only two people in the "Demon Emperor's Palace" at this moment.
"How is the arrow wound healing?"
Jin Bing looked at Xuan Du helplessly.
"Captain, I'm fine..."
Xuan Du, who always spoke tough, could not hide his pale face. He seemed to be seriously injured and had not yet recovered. In fact, he did have some injuries.
Before the Eighth Period, the great wizard Hou Yi attacked the Zhongzhou human domain. The young and energetic Xuan Du immediately volunteered to fight, but he fought badly and was hit by two arrows from Hou Yi, one hitting his kidney and the other hitting his knee...
In the end, if the great wizard Houyi hadn't taken the initiative to lead his troops to retreat, this kid would have definitely died.
Although Xuandu was no match for Houyi, he refused to admit defeat and kept bragging to everyone he met:
Hou Yi was just so-so. We were evenly matched, and I almost killed him alone!
Then I lay down for eight whole months, but my injuries still didn't heal completely...
"Nothing? Then I'll let you continue to fight Hou Yi?"
Jin Bing said this deliberately, and Xuan Du's pupils tightened immediately, but he still said stubbornly:
"Hit me if you want. I'll break his bow this time!"
This kid...
Jin Bing shook his head, and then said seriously:
"Don't worry, I won't let you fight Hou Yi this time..."
"Really?!"
Xuan Du was instantly happy!
Jin Bing: ...
"What you need to do this time is not to go to war, but to contact the Wu Clan privately."
As soon as Jin Bing said this, Xuan Du was stunned:
"Isn't that right? Chief, didn't the Wu tribe go to war with us? We should resolutely wipe them out!"
Xuandu didn't understand. Zhongzhou was occupied by the witch tribe, and the Northern Wasteland was also massacred. The twelve witch ancestors clearly wanted to destroy our Equal Heavenly Court. Shouldn't we just kill them to get revenge? Why did we bring them along to maintain relations...
"The ones who are our enemies are the extreme supremacists of the Wu Clan headed by the Twelve Ancestral Wus. This does not mean that the entire Wu Clan is an extremist faction."
Jin Bing said seriously:
"At least, Hou Yi is not one of them."
Hou Yi is not an extremist? !
Xuandu looked bewildered, and couldn't help but hold his waist...
"If Hou Yi really wants to kill you, it's actually not difficult."
Jin Bing sighed:
"Although you are a Daluo Jinxian, you are still young and your methods are not sophisticated enough. For a veteran wizard like Hou Yi, if he wants to kill you, you will definitely not be hit by just two arrows..."
In his previous life, Hou Yi had once served under his command, so he knew very well what kind of fighting power Hou Yi had.
Although in theory the old-time great wizards are at the same level as the Golden Immortals, this group of old wizards who have accumulated hundreds of epochs can at least beat three ordinary newbies at once!
So Xuandu was able to come back alive with only two arrows, which was obviously because Houyi let him go.
Being able to let him go means... we can talk! "So the fact that you can come back alive is Hou Yi's way of conveying his attitude to me."
After listening to the explanation of the Great Chieftain... and the Demon King, Xuan Du, who was originally confused, couldn't help but agree with it:
Indeed, at that time, he basically failed to cause any effective damage to Hou Yi, and was almost shot to death by the opponent. As long as the opponent had the intention to kill him, there would be no way back.
But the result was that Houyi shot two arrows and then voluntarily withdrew his troops... It is easy to understand what he meant.
Although it is also possible that Houyi wanted to use him to demonstrate the witch clan's provocative value to the "Supreme Heaven" in order to gain benefits there, but... it also sent out a political signal that both sides can talk.
Xuandu seemed to understand but not quite:
"Then Chief...what if their conditions are harsh?"
"Can it be more demanding than ceding Zhongzhou?"
Jin Bing asked with a smile.
The Sun Star Lord's move to cede land was a godsend, and it directly put all the ethnic groups and powerful people living in Zhongzhou into a state of panic.
These days, thousands of monsters that have escaped from Zhongzhou have come to the East Desert every day. There are Daluo and Taiyi, who are eager to join hands with the Equal Heavenly Court to smash the face of the Sun Star Lord...
"In theory, it is impossible for the Wu Clan represented by Hou Yi to ask for too many benefits from us, otherwise their reputation will be really bad. At that time, the entire prehistoric world will come together to besiege him, and the Wu Clan will definitely not be able to resist."
Jin Bing said in a deep voice:
"Your main mission this time when you go to the Wu Clan is not only to test Hou Yi's attitude, but also to find out who the important figures in his Wu Clan are. If you can win them over, what can they do for us?"
Xuan Du nodded repeatedly after hearing this:
"Please rest assured, Chief, I will complete the mission!"
……
After Xuan Du left, Jin Bing was the only one left in the "Demon Emperor's Palace".
Standing alone by the window, letting the sun shine on his face, Jin Bing sighed:
"This is really a last resort..."
In fact, emotionally speaking, he really didn't want to talk to Houyi.
After all, Houyi conquered the Zhongzhou human territory and killed many of his own people. Those children were all raised by him and he had a very deep relationship with them.
Whether out of interests or hatred, Jin Bing really wanted to grit his teeth and behead this guy as a sacrifice to the gods!
But... I can't be so willful now.
On the one hand, it was because the pressure from the Supreme Heaven was too great. Tens of thousands of Golden Immortals and above were fighting with their own Heavenly Court warriors in various places in the prehistoric world. The occupied areas of both sides changed every day, and they were the disadvantaged side.
After all, the Supreme Heavenly Court has a profound foundation that is unmatched by our side. Even if it restricts the high-level strongmen, the Supreme Heavenly Court still has a huge advantage at the middle and low levels. If the human race were not strong enough, it would have been defeated across the board long ago.
But even if the human race can hold on, the disadvantage still exists. It can only be said that they will be defeated relatively slowly...
On the other hand, there is the act of ceding land by the Sun Star Lord!
Although in the long run, it would be very harmful for the Sun Star Lord to cede Zhongzhou to the Witch Clan, as this would force the strong and the people in the Zhongzhou region to turn to his camp.
The longer it drags on, the more powerful wild demons we can mobilize. Hundreds of Daluo, countless Taiyi and lower-level demons will join our side, and we may even instigate high-level celestial officials such as Xingjun to surrender.
The Sun Star Lord's strategy seriously deviates from the foundation of the Heavenly Court and is a way to his own death.
But...it's really useful!
When he ceded the land, the witch clan, which had been just playing by the wayside, suddenly opened fire with full force. Nearly a hundred great witches and countless witch soldiers joined the battlefield, and directly defeated Jin Bing in a panic.
This time, the Witch Clan slaughtered people in three parts of the Northern Wilderness, and the death toll reached hundreds of millions. This forced Jin Bing to draw upon the frontline Daluo Jinxian from various places and urgently assembled twenty real dragons to launch a battle to retake the Northern Wilderness!
To be more specific, although the war between the two heavens has been going on all the time, most of the time they just fight until they surrender, and there is basically no massacre.
This is not simply because of kindness. The bigger reason is that the karma of heaven hangs on the heads of all living beings. If the slaughter is excessive, perhaps a saint will come to enforce justice on behalf of heaven.
Therefore, the battle lines of both sides changed very slowly. Even if one side suffered a major defeat, it would not lose too much manpower and could just continue fighting.
But the Wu Clan didn't care about this. They were born noble and didn't care about karma when they killed. Let alone ordinary creatures, they had infinite merits in their previous lives, but they still killed whenever they wanted? The way of heaven doesn't give a shit!
This time, he started a large-scale massacre in the Northern Wilds, and easily wiped out 30% of Jin Bing's strength in the Northern Wilds in one battle...
If they continue to slaughter like this, before Jin Bing can use the assists sent by the Sun Star Lord to strengthen his strength, these lawless guys will really make their way to Shouyang Mountain!
"The witch clan is naturally superior to the demons, and killing demons does not involve karma... What a trouble!"
Jin Bing clenched his fists in anger. In his three lifetimes, he had never hated the injustice of heaven as much as he did today:
A human being is destined to be the protagonist. He madly slaughters all living beings. Although he has karma, even the saints dare not come out to settle the accounts, which means he can slaughter at will!
A descendant of Pangu from the Wu clan, born with a high level of demon power, he can kill anyone with great merit at will, and there is no karma involved in the massacre!
God, what the hell are you?
