“High Priest,” the five Demon Generals greeted.
The fog-covered figure was none other than the High Priest of the Demonic Faction—someone of the highest status!
Even though many Transcendents of the Xia Clan were willing to fight for the survival of mortals and the Xia Clan, there would always be a selfish minority who would rather back the Demonic Faction. The Demonic Faction, however, was weaker than the Xia Clan by an entire level in terms of their overall might, so they could only hide in the darkness. Every Transcendent who joined the Demonic Faction would keep their identity a secret, and even more so the High Priest, who held the highest status within the organization.
Even when communicating with his five other Demon Generals… he would still keep his identity hidden.
“Congratulations, Generals, for signing the Dark Abyss Agreement,” said the figure enveloped in fog.
“Hmph, congratulations? I think it should be us congratulating your Demonic Faction. From now on, our fate is truly tied with yours, and your Demonic Faction will certainly be rewarded with the beliefs of this Xia Clan’s World. This will undoubtedly aid the Demonic Faction greatly,” replied the lofty demon with a snort.
“Obtaining the belief of the entire Xia Clan’s World isn’t something we can achieve within a single generation,” replied the figure in the fog. “Unless, a Demonic God happens to emerge from you all.”
The moment a Demonic God emerged…
He would truly be undefeatable within the Mortal World. A Demonic God would only have a maximum time period of 10,000 years before he had to return to the Dark Abyss. And of course, this newly-emerged Demonic God would have to abide by the Dark Abyss Agreement in helping the Demonic Faction obtain the beliefs of this entire Xia Clan’s World. After all, even if the demons kept humans in captivity and bred them, the demons had difficulty reproducing quickly. In time, there would be fewer and fewer demons left, and finally, the control of this world would still be relegated back to the humans.
Thus, the Demonic Faction had entered a negotiation with the demons before finally signing the Dark Abyss Agreement.
“Even though I look forward to one of you becoming a Demonic God, I’m sure all of you understand that the chances of that happening are quite low,” said the figure in the fog. “Thus, what I look forward to most is for you five to help my Demonic Faction in obtaining a large portion of beliefs in this world instead.”
“If you help scratch our backs, we’ll certainly scratch yours,” said the red-scaled female demon in an alluring manner. “Right now, we are all on the same boat. In the future, we’ll have to ask High Priest to look after us as well.”
“High Priest.”
The tall, icy-blue Demon continued. “According to our agreement, you’ll have to first provide all the records and maps of all Transcendent Worlds that are a part of the Xia Clan’s World.”
“No problem.” The High Priest immediately passed them the maps through the crystal ball.
In fact, the negotiation between the two parties progressed smoothly.
After all, they knew what the other side needed, and there were no conflicting views! The reason why they only signed the agreement today was because the five Demon Generals were extremely prudent. They had been gathering information on the Xia Clan’s World for many years through a great number of demons who had hidden their aura and mixed themselves amongst the humans.
In the Dark Abyss, these five Demon Generals experienced war time after time and certainly knew the importance of ‘knowing thy enemies.’
Therefore, they were willing to spend a few years patiently understanding the situation behind the Xia Clan. Only after that did they decide to work with the Demonic Faction.
“Eight major Transcendent Worlds and a hundred minor Transcendent Worlds?”
“Very good.”
“We have been enduring silently for so long. I hope the Transcendents of the Xia Clan do not think we are willing to let it continue like this.”
“It’s time for us to make our moves.”
The five Demon Generals all held great expectations.
This was the crux of their plan! They had to make use of the minor Transcendent Worlds in order to gain an advantage against the Xia Clan.
“Then I wish you all success,” said the figure in the fog.
“Your Demonic Faction should be careful as well. We’re unable to recognise every, single Transcendent belonging to the Demonic Faction. Who knows, we might even kill one of you accidentally,” said the alluring, female demon. “I suggest they obediently hide themselves well. If not…should they reveal something, then killing them would be such a pity. Unless, of course, you are willing to divulge their identities.”
“I apologise. Their identities cannot be revealed,” said the figure in the fog. “Rest assured, my Demonic Faction’s Transcendents will definitely be careful.”
