It doesn't matter what the lord is.

Snake Eyes glanced at Fileta, and the anger in his heart subsided a little. He said to Ying Baiqing who was kneeling below:

"go on."

Eagle Baiqing wiped the sweat from his forehead with the tip of his wings. Now he looked like he had just been fished out of the water.

"The eldest son of the Four-Arms Tribe had all four arms chopped off."

"The seventh young lady of the Black Sheep Tribe was found dead in the river early in the morning."

"The most outstanding twins of the Chuanshan tribe also disappeared. Several tribes joined together to search for them for a day and found traces of them falling off the cliff next to the abyss."

"All the outstanding young demons of the Iron Tree Tribe were chopped into firewood, and this batch of firewood was used in an anti-tracking operation. One of my troops found the assassin's trail and chased him at all costs, but was ambushed by the enemy. The poisonous smoke formed by the burning of the [Iron Wood] blinded them. Only one of the more than 20 demons escaped."

"My son is dead too... His wings were chopped off and grilled... There were still some uneaten bones at the scene..."

Snake pupil suddenly opened his eyes and said coldly:

"enough!"

Ying Baiqing fell to the ground with his limbs, and his forehead bled from hitting the hard bluestone. With his cultivation level, he could have smashed the stone into pieces, but he didn't dare to do so now. He could only suppress his own level and kowtow to beg for his life. Shetong's chest rose and fell twice, and he calmed down and asked calmly:

"Just tell me how many people died!"

Ying Baiqing swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a gulp and replied:

"In the past ten days, twenty-seven of the strongest rookies of the demon clan have died, almost half of them. Among them, Jiu Luo of the Night Dove Tribe, Zhisheng of the One-Eyed Tribe, and Xiong Cheng of the Grizzly Bear Tribe all died. Sixty-nine of the less famous rookies of the demon clan have died. Now those tribes know the cause of the incident. It is estimated that it will not be long before some old guys will come here to find you and request peace talks with the assassin..."

"Peace talks?"

Snake Eye sneered, stood up from the throne and said:

"Ying Baiqing, you are at the twelfth level."

Ying Baiqing replied with all his strength:

"Yes."

"You are telling me that the assassin is at a higher level than you, right?"

"Do not……"

Ying Baiqing hesitated for a moment and replied:

"On the contrary. I think that assassin has not passed the tenth level."

Snake Eyes glanced at Ying Baiqing, then walked down from the throne step by step and came in front of it. Ying Baiqing felt a huge pressure coming at him, his legs trembled uncontrollably, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Your Highness, the King of the East, you also know that it is difficult to hide the dispatch of demons above the tenth level from our eyes. If that assassin is above the tenth level, then no matter how he hides, we should have noticed it! In the current situation, the most likely scenario is that the assassin is less than the tenth level, but there are a lot of demons above the tenth level on our side... Looking down from a high position is like looking for a firefly among many shining suns, which is too difficult. The assassin's attainments in the way of assassination are the only ones I have ever seen in my life. His relatively low level has become a perfect means for him to hide himself. His attacks are not limited to direct assassination. He can also poison, trap, fire attack, create accidents... He has countless methods, and he is an expert in this field at a glance. In addition, he can forge scenes, destroy clues, hide his whereabouts... What he can do is far beyond our imagination. In hundreds of years, I have never seen a guy like him. It's like a monster who has been practicing assassination since his mother's womb."

She Tong stood in front of Ying Baiqing, raised his foot, and stepped heavily on its wings, breaking several of Ying Baiqing's bones. Ying Baiqing felt the pain, but did not dare to cry, and endured it.

Snake pupil said lightly:

"I don't like excuses. I don't even bother to listen to excuses that are too long."

Ying Baiqing watched helplessly as Shetong raised his foot again and stepped on his other wing, breaking it. He didn't know why Shetong was so irritable today and didn't want to listen to reason at all.

What Ying Baiqing didn't know was that Snake Eye didn't take the assassin seriously at first. It wasn't in the palace at all during this period, but went out to search the East District, trying to find Delis's whereabouts, but found nothing. In fact, Snake Eye sensed many suspicious targets, but when it arrived at the scene, it found nothing. After being fooled several times, Snake Eye's patience value dropped to the lowest, and it had to temporarily return to the palace to rest.

As a result, as soon as I returned to the palace, I heard that my own demon rookies had suffered heavy casualties. It would be strange if I was in a good mood.

Delis was an important factor in Snake Eye's gaining the support of the elves, and the new demons were the main foundation for it to achieve its future ambitions. Without being disturbed by external forces, by the time Snake Eye decided to compete with other kings, most of its own new demons should have broken through the tenth level and grown into the main combat force. And by the time it was crowned as the Demon King, the next batch of new demons would have grown up and started to play the role of the mainstay.

What now?

Half of the rising demon rookies died, and the next batch of potential demons were strangled in the cradle.

The other party’s meaning is very clear: I can’t and won’t fight those demons above the tenth level, but if you keep dragging it out, I will kill every demon below the tenth level, and see who will feel the pain in the end!

Snake pupil took a deep breath, its mind worked rapidly, and it thought of many things in an instant.

The newcomer of the demon tribe is not only its trump card, but also the hope of the revival of each tribe. When the most powerful newcomer of its own tribe dies, the tribe always vents this nameless anger, just like the Black Centipede tribe made a big fuss before, causing unrest everywhere. Now, the news that [the assassin wanted to negotiate business with Snake Eyes, and after being rejected, he began to assassinate the newcomers of the demon tribe] has spread, and each tribe must be waiting for Snake Eyes to give them an explanation. Those tribes are not aware of the mess of the elves, and they thought that Snake Eyes got into trouble, hiding himself and letting them take the blame.

More than that.

The demon tribes had been grudged for a long time, and many tribes took this opportunity to kill people, and then put all the blame on the assassin. So many demon rookies died, it is impossible that they were all killed by the assassin. Shetong estimated that at least half of them died in internal fighting. This is a common thing to say. People with terminal illnesses always hope that the whole world will be as terminally ill as themselves, and drag everyone to be buried together; many demon tribes whose own rookies were killed will also quietly kill the rookies of the tribes that are not on good terms with them. First, they don’t want the other party to develop and suppress themselves, and second, it is pure revenge - the rookies of our tribe are gone, I wish the rookies of all tribes will die together!

For various reasons, it was not just the rookies who were panicking, even the long-established elite demons were getting restless, and it felt like a spark would start a prairie fire. Shetong knew very well that if even the tenth-level demons started to get in chaos, the East District would be completely ruined. By then, even the weakest West King, Baobao, would show his fangs and tear off a piece of flesh from him.

Thinking of this, Shetong stood silently in front of Ying Baiqing and did not speak for a long time.

It remembered the first words left by the assassin: If you don't agree, kill them one by one. Kill every potential demon like Langji in the East District. Wait until all these demon rookies are dead, and then see what you can use to compete for that position!

When he heard it for the first time, Shetong was full of disdain.

Now, Snake Eyes finally understood that the assassin was not joking.

58. Here it comes!

"Let's talk."

After a while, Shetong finally moved his feet off Ying Baiqing's wings.

It wasn't that it was really afraid of the assassin. Just because Ying Baiqing couldn't figure it out, it didn't mean that Shetong couldn't figure it out either. At worst, it could really call all the demons in the East District to dig up the land inch by inch, or simply radiate the black fog to kill all the demons below the tenth level in the surrounding area... There was always a way.

The key problem is that the current situation is not suitable for continuing to fight hard. The death of too many rookies in the East District Demon Tribe is one problem, and the mysterious disappearance of Delis is another problem. If Delis cannot be found, the connection with the Elf Tribe will be completely cut off. The Elf King can cooperate with Snake Eye to perform a drama of a princess being kidnapped and having to marry out for fame, but he cannot accept the magical reality that Delis disappeared inexplicably under Snake Eye's rule.

If Shemi cannot marry Delis, it means that the cooperation between the elves and Shetong has broken down.

The bargaining chip of Fileta has lost its due value. In this case, Shetong needs to consider the next countermeasures.

Fileta was still in his hands. This daughter with whom he had no feelings was also the main reason for the assassin to go deep into the heart of the Demon Clan's East District. The assassin was still assassinating the new demons in the East District, which meant that he still wanted to force him to negotiate. It also meant that he felt that the death of these new demons was nothing, and he still had the confidence to help him ascend to the throne of the Demon King.

That method made Snake Eyes curious.

The assassin should know very well that even if he kills more demon rookies now, if he cannot convince Shetong to cooperate with him, Shetong can still kill him easily during the negotiation. In fact, because he killed many of Shetong's beloved ones, he will die more miserably, suffering inhuman torture for decades, unable to live or die.

Thinking of this, Snake Eyes' smile was filled with coldness.

It repeated to Ying Baiqing:

"Talk to him. Ying Baiqing, because of your incompetence, I have to compromise. But I can not kill you, not because you are special, but because..."

Snake Eye raised his head and said to all the demons kneeling in the palace:

"You're all the same, the same kind of crap."

No demon dared to refute anything.

"stand up."

Snake Eye said to Ying Baiqing.

Ying Baiqing endured the severe pain from his wings and stood up shakily. The blood on his forehead dripped onto the ground. He didn't dare to look at Shetong. He lowered his head and stood in front of Shetong, enduring her cold gaze. Finally, Shetong patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Spread the news and tell him to come to the palace to talk to me if he has the guts."

Ying Baiqing nodded and said:

"Yes."

It turned and left. When it reached the door, it suddenly heard Snake Eyes say coldly behind it:

"You still have four children. Roast them yourself and send them to me. I also want to taste the taste of roasted wings."

Ying Baiqing felt a chill rushing from his feet to his head, and his brain was unable to react for a moment. He shook his body, spat out a mouthful of blood on the stone steps of the hall, and knelt down in panic. But Shetong had already turned and left, Ying Baiqing's eyes were red, and veins on his face were bulging.

After Snake Eyes left, the other high-level demons who were kneeling in the hall also stood up and retreated as if nothing had happened. No demon cared about Ying Baiqing who was kneeling on the ground, as if it did not exist at all.

A Black Crow Demon who had a good relationship with Ying Baiqing walked up to Ying Baiqing, sighed, and said:

"Bai Qing, remember to wipe the blood clean."

Just this one sentence that was not sympathetic was followed by a muffled voice from behind the throne:

"Hei Yu, do you think my father did something wrong?"

Hei Yu bowed to She Mi and said:

"I dare not. Since Eagle Baiqing failed to do its job well, it is only right that His Majesty the King of the East punishes it."

She Mi snorted and said:

"I don't think you'd dare. Get lost! If you say another word of nonsense, I'll drag your family out and roast them for food!"

Heiyu bowed again and left with an unhappy look on his face.

She Mi smacked his lips, feeling a little bored. He walked around the throne and set his eyes on Fileta, who was standing behind the throne. Fileta remained motionless, with no light in her golden eyes. Whether it was She Tong's anger or Ying Baiqing's sadness, or She Mi's tyranny, they all seemed to have no effect on her. She was indifferent to everything.

She Mi stole a glance and saw that her father had walked a long way, so she carefully moved to the side of Fileta, circling around her, and her eyes scanned her body wantonly. The hot body that could not be covered by the cloak was almost in sight, and She Mi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and could not help but reach out and touch her chest, and the snake tongue kept moving, licking her white and flawless face like mutton-fat jade.

Fileta didn't react at all.

No fear, no anger, no disgust, no avoidance.

However, when it was close, Shemi suddenly stopped.

It took a step back, a smile spread across its fat face, and said:

"It's not the right time yet... Once my father gets some useful information out of that guy, he will kill him without hesitation. By then, you will naturally be mine, something that belongs only to me..."

Shemi's chubby hands lifted up Fileta's long silver hair, held it to his nostrils and took a deep sniff, then closed his eyes obsessively, enjoying the alluring fragrance. Xinzi licked his eyes and left while fantasizing about scenes that were not suitable for children.

Fileta stood there until all the demons had dispersed, but she still did not leave. She just stood in the empty hall, alone, with her shadow dragging very long on the ground.

That night, She Mi got to eat four pairs of grilled wings as he wished, and Ying Baiqing spread the news that She Tong was willing to meet with the assassin.

The next day, Shetong waited in the hall for a whole day, but no one came, and six more demon rookies died.

On the third day, Shetong waited in the hall for another day, but still no one came, and thirteen more demon rookies died.

On the fourth day, the hall was filled with black fog, and the rage of Snake Eyes almost burned the entire palace to ashes, but the assassin still did not come. On the same day, nineteen new demons died.

On the fifth day, Snake Eye felt that he had been fooled and smashed the throne in anger. When he was about to rush out and turn the land where the assassin might be hiding into a dead zone, the assassin arrived.

He held a demon's head in one hand, and yawned slowly with the other hand, passing through the majestic array of demons of more than ten levels, and came to the front of the king's palace alone. In the extremely depressing atmosphere, he raised his hand and threw the head in his hand on the hall, splashing blood all over the floor.

"Thank you for the invitation."

Lid laughed, his cracked lips moved, and continued:

"He's out of town, just got back from killing the demons."

59. Go kill him

When Snake Eyes's gaze fell on him, his vertical golden pupils suddenly shrank, and he couldn't help but utter two words:

"Humanity……"

Lid walked to the center of the hall and glanced at Felita standing behind Snake Eyes. Felita was also looking at him. Lid smiled at Felita, but there was no trace of emotion in Felita's expression.

Lid turned to Snake Eye and said with a smile:

"Yes, human. Lord of Yuxi City, Lide. I wonder if the King of the East still remembers this name."

Snake pupil slowly stood up from the throne.

The invisible pressure around him surged again. All the demons above the tenth level in the hall could not help but kneel down, but Lid was still standing. The black fog instantly swept the entire hall, and every demon present seemed to be carrying a mountain on his shoulders. Lid could hear his knees making a crisp sound, and blood dripped down his trouser legs and quickly fell to the ground, but he still held his hands together, and his smile did not increase or decrease.

The cloak on Snake Eyes fluttered.

It had thought of many possibilities about the assassin's origin, including the three heavenly kings and the demon king. But it had never thought of this possibility, that the young generation of humans had killed the new demons under its rule and made them tremble with fear. This was too absurd.

"You are very courageous... You dare to cause trouble under my rule, and you dare to come to see me with such a swagger."

Lid spat out a mouthful of blood and replied with a smile:

"No, no, no one is braver than you, the King of the East. You wanted to overthrow the rule of the demons by colluding with the elves. You were the first to do something that was obviously seeking death. If your life is not needed, you can donate it to the demons who need it. If you want to die yourself, don't jump into the pit with your men."

Snake Eyes walked down the stairs step by step and said coldly:

"My thoughts and decisions are not something that a human like you, who is not even at the tenth level, can understand. But when you mentioned Yuxi City, I remembered... If it weren't for my daughter threatening to die, I would have massacred that city long ago. Since you are the lord of Yuxi City, then that city will be buried with you!"

Lid replied calmly:

"It doesn't matter. King of the East can give it a try. As long as one more person from my Yuxi City dies at the hands of the East District Demons, I guarantee that King of the East will never be able to ascend to the throne of the Demon King in this lifetime."

"Humph!"

Snake pupil sneered and said:

"Let's put your arrogant tone aside. I don't necessarily have to fight for the position of Demon King. Even without that position, I am still the King of the East. But I want to see if you can remain indifferent when I really kill everyone in Yuxi City one by one."

Lid still stood there, letting the huge pressure make his joints crackle, and said lightly:
