Chapter 655 – The Demon Saint! (2/2)

But if they didn’t, and if it infuriated the Hallowed Grounds….

Meanwhile, Yang Ye continued, “Senior, you should be clearly aware that regardless of whether it’s the human race or demon race, we shouldn’t entrust our hope to others. If the Hallowed Grounds is truly virtuous, then why hasn’t it bestowed anything upon the continent for the last tens of thousands of years? But they’ve come as soon as the defiant profounders are about to emerge and threaten them. Moreover, even when they ask for help from us, they make it seem like we should feel honored. Senior, do you think that the demon race will have a future if it sides with such a place?”

“So the demon race would have a future by siding with the southern territory?” The Dragon Emperor grunted coldly.

Yang Ye glanced coldly at the Dragon Emperor, and then disregarded him. He gazed at the Demon Saint and said, “The demon race isn’t siding with the southern territory, it’s an alliance. The human race and demon race will be joining forces. Even though we’ll still be weaker than the Hallowed Grounds and defiant profounders, we wouldn’t be ordered around by someone else at least, right?”

The Demon Saint fell silent for a short while before he glanced at Yang Ye and Elder Mu. He said, “You’ve convinced me!” Actually, he couldn’t stand the sight of the Hallowed Grounds as well. But it couldn’t be helped because the Hallowed Grounds was too powerful. Of course, he’d also made such a choice because he didn’t have any other options as well. After all, if he didn’t agree, then it would represent that this pair who stood before him would start a slaughter!

He naturally didn’t fear Yang Ye, but he had no choice but to fear Elder Mu. Even if the demon race could win the battle, it would probably be crippled by the Undertaker….

The expressions of the Dragon Emperor, the Demon Empress, Elder Kong, and all the others changed drastically when they heard this. The Demon Emperor’s decision to become allies with the southern territory couldn’t truly represent the entire demon territory, but if it was the Demon Saint….

Meanwhile, Yang Ye suddenly said, “Since Senior has agreed to the alliance, then each side has to raise some conditions. I’m young, so I’ll go first. I only have one, and it’s that the Dragon Emperor and the patriarchs of the other 2 divine beast clans must be eliminated. Otherwise, everything we just agreed upon will be void, and we’ll fight if we have to!”

The meaning behind Yang Ye’s condition was very simple. He didn’t trust them, and it wasn’t just him, even the Demon Emperor would definitely not trust them. So, they would definitely be latent problems if they were allowed to continue existing amongst the demon race. Perhaps, they might launch a counterattack at any moment. He didn’t want to be stabbed in the back!

“Yang Ye….” The Dragon Emperor and the others were furious. However, they swallowed what they were about to say when Elder Mu shot a glance at them.

“They’re all at the Monarch Rank!” The Demon Saint spoke in a low voice, “Their strength is amongst the strongest beneath the Half-Saint Realm!”

Yang Ye shook his head and said, “There’s no common grounds for understanding between those of differing principles. So, I wouldn’t need them even if they are Half-Saints!”

The Demon Emperor gazed at Yang Ye for a short while before he said, “You carry the future of the demon race and human race now. Being narrow minded isn’t a good thing. As a leader, you need to possess both magnanimity and benevolence!”

Yang Ye chuckled and said, “Benevolence is something that depends on the recipient. My intuition tells me that if I don’t eliminate them now, then I’ll definitely be fostering snakes which will bite me one day.”

“Is there really no room for discussion?” The Demon Saint spoke in a low voice.

Yang Ye flipped his palm, and his intent sword entered the ancient sheath as he said, “None!”

The s.p.a.ce around the Demon Saint started fluctuating. The Dragon Emperor and the others heaved sighs of relief when they witnessed this. In the next moment, the Demon Saint acted abruptly. However, he hadn’t acted against Yang Ye or Elder Mu, and he’d attacked Dragon Emperor and the others instead.

An enormous claw appeared above the 3 of them, and then it smashed down towards them!

“Demon Saint….” They were horrified. Never had they imagined that the Demon Saint would suddenly attack them, and they were just about to retaliate but it was too late.

The enormous claw descended, and then they were annihilated on the spot. After that, the enormous claw made a waving movement and 3 pearls of blood flew over to it.

Yang Ye was slightly stunned. He hadn’t expected that the Demon Saint would suddenly act against the Dragon Emperor and the others.

On the other hand, the countenances of Elder Kong, the Demon Empress, and the others had turned pale…. Moreover, they instinctively took a few steps back.

Meanwhile, Elder Mu suddenly said, “Looks like you’ve come around and made your decision!”

The Demon Saint chuckled and said, “This disciple of yours is right. Regardless of whether it’s the human race or demon race, relying on our own selves is the most reliable method. Moreover, I want to see the outside world as well.”

Yang Ye was stunned again when he heard them. Could they have engaged in negotiations before this?

Elder Mu nodded and said, “This is a path of blood. Are you sure that you want to take it?”

The Demon Saint chuckled, “Would I fear death? I might need you to bury me not too long from now. So, I have no other choice!”

Elder Mu replied, “Indeed!”

The Demon Saint gazed at Yang Ye before he waved his right hand, and then those 3 pearls of blood flew over to Yang Ye. “I would have killed them even if you didn’t say anything. Because I don’t want to be stabbed in the back as well. This is the Blood Essence of 3 peak Monarch Rank divine beasts. It should be quite helpful to you!”

Yang Ye didn’t refuse it. He took them and thanked the Demon Saint!

The Demon Saint gazed at Elder Kong, the Demon Empress, and the others. This action caused their figures to tremble, and then they looked at the Demon Emperor instead.

The Demon Saint didn’t look at the Demon Emperor. He looked at Yang Ye instead, and he smiled spuriously as he said, “Should I kill them?”
