I am a living immortal.

Chapter 503: Deal with Him

You don't know. "Prince Cheng's face was unpredictable. He subconsciously felt a pang of fear whenever someone mentioned the Demon Slayer Division. Perhaps this was related to what he had seen and heard at the beginning. The Demon Slayer Division was not a simple matter. Its two commanders, one a martial arts master, rivaled by Taoist Priest Si Chong. Besides being known as a "martial arts fanatic," Taoist Priest Si Chong was also more widely known as a land immortal.

The other, Xuan Qi, was even more unfathomable, with more demons and evil spirits killed by him than could be counted on one hand. Being targeted by either of these two would be a real headache for them.

Prince Cheng knew that he was different now than before.

But this still cannot erase the fear in my heart.

"Tsk! You and I together, can't we handle this?" The figure before him didn't believe it. In his eyes, if it weren't for the City God's warning against any reckless behavior, those demon-slaying departments formed by mortals would be nothing but a bunch of ragtag chickens and tumblers. A resounding name, but a fragile foundation.

He openly disdained King Cheng, labeling him a coward. Foolish and cowardly, humans were truly unreliable.

Yet, in King Cheng's eyes, the demon before him was just that. Foolish, arrogant. While most humans might be deplorable, there were still some who could not be underestimated.

He didn't show it on his face, but now he needed this monster to protect him.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to support yourself alone.

But the other party was right about one thing. The two of them wouldn't be afraid of any of the Demon Slayers' commanders. The only thing they were afraid of was Chen Tao. The fact that Prince Cheng was still alive and well as a prince was one thing: concealing his weaknesses was one thing; being smart and avoiding trouble was another.

This Chen Tao was no ordinary person. He had originally thought he was just an ordinary Jianghu warrior, but how could an ordinary Jianghu warrior survive the combined attack of those eleven Deadpools, or even kill them all?

To make matters worse, all these problems happened at once.

The figure shook his head. There were no new instructions from above, as if they had vanished. The Kaiming Beast no longer had the energy to care about the north. The north was a crucial move. Previously, the plan envisioned detonating a natural disaster or plague, combined with the northern food supply route, would plunge the country into complete chaos.

However, after witnessing Su Mu's strength, he wavered. Could these methods really trouble the other party? The answer was absolutely impossible.

So he still wanted to create chaos, but in order to wait for Chaos to return. The more chaotic it was, the stronger Chaos would become. As mentioned before, the three of them might not be able to hold each other back.

But let's avoid it for now.

Furthermore, Chaos' return wasn't in this realm. They needed one person to go there while the other stayed behind. The Kaiming Beast was clearly not suited to staying in this realm in its current state.

"Can you do it? I think the other party has guessed your identity."

"I have a treasure given by that lord. It can conceal the secrets of heaven, so they shouldn't discover me so quickly. Tell me your backup plan, and I'll see if I can piece together something useful to cause trouble for them."

Kaimingmon smiled bitterly, believing them to be the worst behind-the-scenes schemers ever.

However, after hearing Kaiming Beast's description, it became clear that the two years of preparation hadn't been entirely in vain. The water monster that had originally intended to cause the raging waves was now useless. After learning more about the situation, Canglin slew the water monster in the river.

The drought demon sleeping in the iron-cold coffin in the southwest can be used, but don't hold too high hopes. Then, the north will be of great use, but he needs a push.

The current situation is not optimistic. In addition to these existing ones, other things need to be done.

Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly. After all, he was inferior in strength, and could do very little. Even if we were evenly matched, there was nothing, only a crushing defeat from top to bottom.

Su Mu had already said he wouldn't put himself in a passive position again. The time for counterattack had come. After striking the Kaiming Beast with a sword, he could vaguely sense its trajectory. He didn't extend his attack because he wanted to see what other tricks the other party had in store.

As for the matter of Yan Guo, it was just right. They wanted to use Yan Guo to attract his attention, and he could use Yan Chao's actions to blur his tracks.

......

The mastermind behind Yan Dynasty is changing unknowingly.

Meanwhile, rumors about Prince Cheng were being brought up in the imperial court. Because the north was so important, regardless of whether the rumors were true or not, they had already crossed the emperor's line. Therefore, if the incident became too serious, the emperor would inevitably face consequences.

Wei Ming casually mentioned this matter, and many old dogs rushed over with a yelp, sniffing the scent. He didn't need to waste any words. These old dogs had been jealous for a long time, so he just had to start it. He couldn't get too involved right now.

There are no impenetrable walls in the world. Some of those "keeping close watch" knew something. But, after all, they feared Prince Cheng. This old prince was, after all, the emperor's uncle, and of royal blood. As long as it wasn't a matter of principle, no matter how much he misbehaved, the emperor would turn a blind eye. Could it be that the emperor really didn't know about the other taxes?

He knew that. But greed for money had never been a big problem. If he wasn't greedy for money, would he be greedy for power? Besides, the old prince had no children and wouldn't live much longer anyway, so he could just enjoy his old age and let him go.

But all this tolerance was based on the other party's sensibleness and the special hospitality he received in his old age. However, a bombshell in the court caused nearly all of the most distinguished people in the Yan Dynasty to frown. The emperor was clearly displeased. The arguing voices instantly fell silent, and no one dared to speak. This unspoken, intimidating presence of a superior weighed heavily on everyone's mind.

The palace was very quiet, and the eunuchs even slowed down their breathing.

The emperor was displeased. He was utterly disappointed with Prince Cheng. He had been supported by a vast sum of money every year. Initially, the emperor had worried he might be overly wealthy, but after realizing he wasn't, and was simply living an extremely luxurious life, he stopped caring. He hadn't expected him to be a swindler.

This was undoubtedly an act of provocation. Furthermore, the ministers had said that King Cheng had been replaced by a demon, which was something worth investigating.

But whether it's true or not, this is already stepping into his minefield.

The emperor held his forehead, with only one thought left in his mind.

That is... to kill him.

"Where is the Demon-Slaying Division?!" the emperor gave an order.

"I'm here!" A figure in a black robe and an iron ghost mask appeared in the palace. Half-kneeling with his head lowered, he listened to the orders from above.

The voice was not majestic, but it attracted almost everyone's attention.

"Check!" the emperor uttered a word.
