Ch 477: Meeting The Master
Xiao Tiansheng, clad in a Dragon Robe, rose and went before Xiao Han.
He then looked at Xiao Han and asked, “Do you think the four Demon Kingdom Rulers will agree to this matter?”
The earth veins are extremely important things to their Western Ting. Xiao Tiansheng was somewhat worried that the four rulers would be very stubborn and directly refuse their request.
“They have to agree, even if they don’t want to.”
Xiao Han chuckled softly.
Earth veins are very precious, but how precious can they be compared to an Immortal Realm strong person? If they lose the earth veins, their Demon Kingdoms might undergo some hardships, but without a Demon Saint to preside over them, the country will fall apart. Would the other four Great Demon Kingdoms let them off?
Annihilation is only a matter of time.
Moreover, as long as a country has an Immortal Realm strong person to preside over it, it can deter petty criminals. Even if their own country no longer has earth veins, as long as there is an Immortal Realm strong person, they can directly seize the earth veins of other countries.
Xiao Han believes that the four Demon Kingdom Rulers would not be so foolish as to not understand this point, giving up even a Demon Saint for an earth vein.
“Let’s wait for their reply over there.” Xiao Tiansheng nodded.
On the other side.
After the group of Demon Kingdom envoys left the Dragon Hall, they all used their methods to contact their respective rulers.
At this moment, within the Four Great Demon Kingdoms of Western Ting.
Ever since the Four Great Rulers sent their designated envoys to the Divine Palace, they had been anxiously waiting.
As long as the Demon Saint was away for a day, they would be restless.
It was not until this moment that they finally received the news.
Only this news, to them, was like a bolt from the blue.
“Your Majesty, it’s a major event, the Divine Palace Emperor insists that we hand over an earth vein before agreeing to release them, and only one can be released…”
Although the Four Great Rulers had already known that the Divine Palace would not easily release Huang Tian and the others.
But they did not expect the other party to be so insidious.
Demanding an earth vein is one thing, but only one is demanded. If someone among them takes the initiative to hand over the earth vein to the Divine Palace, then their relationship will be completely broken.
After all, when they planned to redeem Huang Tian, their plan was to advance and retreat together, shoulder the problems together, and share the losses equally.
The Divine Palace’s actions were clearly intended not only to shake the stability of their territories, but also to make them turn against each other, it was truly hateful!
When the Four Great Rulers realized this, they immediately contacted the others without hesitation, lest the other party suspect that they would renege.
The rulers thus gathered together again.
This time their faces were ten thousand times worse than before.
“Demanding an earth vein is one thing, we can bear the pain and take it out, but the Divine Palace only wants one, only one Demon Saint can be exchanged. If the remaining Demon Saint wants to be redeemed, it will probably cost an even more painful price!”
The Blood Sand Kingdom Ruler said angrily, “The Divine Palace clearly wants to sow discord among us!”
“This act is truly hateful!”
The Nine Abyss Kingdom Ruler was also filled with anger: “Who knows if the Divine Palace will make more unreasonable demands!”
He felt like an ant on a hot pot, but the one holding the pot was the Human Race who also harbored hatred towards them. Facing this situation, there was nothing they could do.
The scene immediately fell into silence, each ruler racking their brains to think of countermeasures, but as their brows furrowed deeper and deeper, they could not think of a suitable countermeasure.
At this moment, the You Xu Kingdom Ruler suddenly looked at the other three and blurted out, “None of you have sent the earth vein to the Divine Palace ahead of time, have you?”
The three of them were immediately startled and quickly shook their heads in explanation: “How could we be such people? Don’t talk nonsense.”
The You Xu Kingdom Ruler coldly snorted, his mood extremely irritable, and said, “I’ll believe you for now, but we can’t just sit here idly. Since the Myriad Demon Alliance is not taking action and choosing to stand by and watch, we have no choice but to consult that one.”
As he spoke to the end, the You Xu Kingdom Ruler’s voice became lighter and lighter, and his expression became solemn and serious.
“Go ask the Master?”
The other three immediately reacted and asked back.
The You Xu Kingdom Ruler nodded: “The only one who can help us now is the Master. The Master shouldn’t leave us alone.”
“Time is of the essence; this is the only way now.”
The Xuan Luo Kingdom Ruler nodded without hesitation.
The remaining Blood Sand Kingdom Ruler and the Nine Abyss Kingdom Ruler thought for a moment before also nodding in agreement.
After making their decision, the four disguised themselves as ordinary members of the Demon Race and headed towards the northernmost part of Western Ting. The Master’s existence was the greatest secret; even in Western Ting, few people knew about it.
Three days later.
In front of a simple thatched hut.
This thatched hut was extremely ordinary, built from the most common thatch. At the entrance, a fishing rod was quietly placed, with an equally ordinary straw hat hanging on it…Only the most lowly Demon Race commoners would live in this house.
But in the eyes of the four rulers, there was no slight contempt, but instead, they stood side by side, respectfully paying their respects to the thatched hut in front of them.
“Blood Sand Kingdom Ruler, here to see the Master.”
“Xuan Luo Kingdom Ruler seeks an audience with the Master, there is a matter to request!”
“…”
The four spoke very politely, even to the point of being humble. It is hard to imagine that the four Demon Kingdom Rulers who call the shots in Western Ting would be so respectful to someone.
However, after they finished speaking, the thatched hut did not make a sound, only the rustling sound of the wind blowing by their ears.
The four rulers showed no impatience, but remained bowed in place.
As time slowly passed, a rather hoarse voice came from within the thatched hut.
“All four of you little ones coming together, that’s quite novel. You’ve been fighting since you were young; when did your relationship get so good?”
An old man came out of the door, smiling and scanning the four with his eyes.
Seeing this, the four rulers’ faces lit up, and they began to explain.
“Master, our four Demon Saints were ambushed by the Divine Palace, leading to their capture…”
They recounted the cause and effect rapidly, without any concealment, even mentioning their thoughts.
Because they knew that the being in front of them had already given them immense face by agreeing to meet them.
If they attempted to add any embellishments, they would simply be playing with fire.
Just as they were halfway through their explanation.
The old man yawned, seeming completely uninterested in what they were saying. He didn’t even look at the four, but directly picked up the fishing rod and straw hat from beside him and walked towards another direction.
The four could only stop talking and followed a distance behind the old man to a riverside.
Only after the old man put on his straw hat and cast the fishhook into the restless river did he continue to speak.
