Chapter 467: Converging At the South (1/2)

Shiji Wu then stood up and walked to Shi Hou, whispering into his ears the plan that this elder had thought of. But once he was finished, the Roaring King immediately spun towards him with widened eyes.

”Are you serious?! That is beyond desecration! Sacrificing Kong Zhi to the Hundun Clan?!” he shouted.

Such words echoed through the table and out of the tent, entering the ears of other demons!

The Shiji Clan leader grimaced at the loud voice of Shi Hou before nodding. He then looked to the others and spoke again, this time aloud.

”Yes, that is exactly what I am suggesting.”

He looked at Shi Hou directly in the eyes as the demon said it.

”Just listen to me for a moment, the Hundun Clan has lost their Idol of Chaos. It is gone, they no longer have their champion and in that anger, sought vengeance on the humans. Thus they head south where the Idol was lost. But just because they lost it, doesn't mean that it cannot be replaced.”

”So why choose to sacrifice Kong Zhi?” someone else asked, ”I could do better.”

They looked at Shiji Hou with a piercing gaze, as if trying to see what this old and wily demon was planning.

Shiji Hou looked back as he quietly gulped down.

This person or demon rather, was known as the Revenant Lord, truthfully, the only demon of his kind left. His skin was gray and sunken as his body was thin and emaciated. If not for the heavy cloak that he wore, one could've seen the outlines of his bones. His eyes were pitch black with pupils that looked like a swirling pool of gray energy.

As for what sort of demon he was, the Revenant Lord was a Wraith Demon

As said before, he was the only demon of his kind and only one can exist at a time. That was because of their power, the power to raise the dead. He could bring corpses back from the dead, turning them into his own soldiers. He could strengthen them and what more, he could control hundreds if not thousands at a time.

”i know what you're [perfectly capable of”, Shiji Wu replied calmly.

”However, could you produce something as powerful as the Idol of Chaos?” he asked.

The Revenant Lord was silent but ultimately shook his head and Shiji Wu continued.

”Giving Kong Zhi to the Hundun Clan is far better. Imagine, an even stronger Idol of Chaos a combination of the Hundun and the Vajra's power! Not even that commander will be able to do a thing to it. They will spearhead our victory!”

He then looked back at Shi Hou to find no difference in his expression. Despite his words and charisma, the Roaring King's mind did not change.

”This is no more than desecration to our lord, Shiji Wu! I cannot let such a thing happen to Kong Zhi”, he said with a determined tone.

But Shiji Wu wasn't done yet. He sighed and looked down at the table.

”What else would you have me say? Even with Kong Zhi's Vajra Bloodline, it isn't enough for him to recover from the damage that human commander inflicted on him. It has been weeks and not a single thing has changed. No movement from his body! No sign of him waking! He might as well be dead at this point!”

By these words, Shi Hou slammed the table with his fist and stood up.

”Don't you dare say such things to me!” he shouted.

Shiji Wu took a step back at the power of Shi Hou's voice. Evidently, everyone else felt the same, gripping their armrests tightly as they looked at him.

The Roaring King glared at Shiji Wu pointing straight at the demon with his remaining arm.

”Do not utter those words again.”

He spoke in a quieter tone but it wasn't hard to hear the restraint in his voice. Shiji Wu stared at Shi Hou with unfaltering eyes.

”Our lord is lying in that tent and has done nothing but breath. He is practically dead, his mind is gone. Think of it this way, with the Hundun Clan, they might be able to breath new life into our lord. Bring him back to be even stronger. Please, Shi Hou, consider it.”
