Chapter 114: Chapter 108 Various Forces

The words of the Blood Locust King stirred the hearts of the demon kings.

Indeed, demon beasts had slightly longer lifespans compared to humans of the same level, which they believed to be a compensation from the heavens, but the difference was not very significant.

After waiting for hundreds of years, if they could not act now, they truly could not wait any longer; they would not be able to wait for the decline of the next human dynasty.

Based on the information they had gathered from humans, the cycle of decline for a human dynasty was around 500 years, and now was their best opportunity, as they certainly could not afford to wait another 500 years.

“Blood Locust King, when exactly is this opportunity you speak of?” asked the Cold Flood Dragon King, one of the top among the nine demon kings, “A few years? Or perhaps several decades? Or even longer?”

Hidden under his black robe, the Blood Locust King’s voice had a chilling undertone, as if carrying a breath of cold air, “There isn’t a specific time, but there is a specific opportunity. When the human Master of Destiny dies, and one or two of the nine Great Grandmasters die, that will be our real chance to emerge!”

“How long will that take, the human Great Grandmasters aren’t so easily killed!”

The Blood Locust King continued, “Your understanding of humans isn’t supposed to be superficial. When a human dynasty reaches its end, it’s very likely that there will be a change in Great Grandmasters.

And we must seize that moment. Not to mention the distant future, do you know why I chose Shuzhou as our gathering place?

It is because the current Great Grandmaster of Shuzhou is nearly at his limit; he won’t last much longer!”

He had always believed in the human adage: know your enemy and know yourself, and you will fight a hundred battles without defeat.

Thus, he had the most intelligence, and it was for this reason that the other eight demon kings trusted him as well.

“But humans are the species best at hiding; do they really only have nine Great Grandmasters?” a demon beast started to question.

“Sky Wolf King, no need to worry. Even if there are more, they are not a cause for concern. There is a reason why the famous Great Grandmasters among humans number only nine. Let me ask you, if other demon kings were to arise, do you think they could stand as your rivals?”

The eight demon kings remained silent; no demon king would consider themselves weaker than another, and they knew how difficult it was to reach such a realm.

“So rest assured, even if just one of the nine Great Grandmasters is missing, it is our opportunity!”

“What is the purpose of summoning us now if it’s not yet the right time; according to you, Blood Locust King, shouldn’t we continue to hide?” The demon kings had many questions. This was asked by an eagle-shaped demon king, known as the Sky Peng King, “It’s possible that we were noticed on our way here, and humans have many tricks.”

“It doesn’t matter if we were noticed, as long as it’s not some massive upheaval, humans won’t bother with it. Right now, they are also in a crucial period. As for why I summoned you earlier than planned–

My friends, you can start building up your forces gradually. Human armies are not simple; you need men to hold them back!”

“Human armies?”

The demon kings present knew not insignificant information about humans; although their knowledge wasn’t as thorough as that of the Blood Locust King, they had a general idea.

Setting up an army based on individuals with significant personal strength indicates that forming an army is not a simple matter.

“Heavenly Blue Army, Zhou Heaven Army… these armies are not at all simple!” spoke a Green Lion, known as the Green Lion King, who had once devoured an army and thus knew more.

He knew very well that if these armies were still around and there was no way to hold them back, their plans would also be constrained.

“So, we need to develop our influence gradually. We don’t need too much; just enough to block the soldiers should suffice. I believe you must have made some preparations, right?”

The Blood Locust King was aware; these demon kings definitely wouldn’t have come without any preparation.

The demon kings nodded; since they intended to cooperate, some matters still needed to be discussed.

“Since that’s the case, let us move on to the next matter. Although we have met ahead of the planned time, I presume there is plenty of intelligence that can be exchanged, anything at all!”

They would gather periodically to exchange information.

This meeting was earlier than scheduled, but it could still proceed.

The Cold Flood Dragon King spoke first, “A Grandmaster of unknown identity has appeared in Shuzhou, wearing a mask, who easily killed one of my Grandmaster Level subordinates. He is very strong.”

“Coincidentally, my news is also about Shuzhou. There has been a massive death event among the warriors in Shuzhou…”

“My matter isn’t about Shuzhou…”

The nine demon kings exchanged information in turn, sharing what they each knew.

“There’s another thing in Shuzhou, a group continually killing demon beasts. According to humans, he is supposedly a so-called ‘hero.’ Do we need to take care of him?”

“Just a human who isn’t even a Grandmaster, why bother? He will inevitably die at the hands of some other demon beast.”

“Are you suggesting you want to handle it yourself, Cold Flood Dragon King?”

Several demon kings laughed; personally dealing with a human who was not a Grandmaster wasn’t impossible, but at least for now, it wasn’t feasible.

They still couldn’t fully expose themselves, and it could easily become a subject of ridicule.

However, when Cold Flood Dragon King mentioned this, it reminded the Macaque King of his own intelligence, since he was also a demon king of Shuzhou.

“The demon beasts in Shuzhou seem to have increased. Do you feel anything, Cold Flood Dragon King?”

“Nothing particular, but the number of demon beasts has indeed increased. Maybe it’s because of the war; it has become easier to obtain blood meals?”
