World-Ending Demon Emperor-Chapter 1642 - 727: Princess Na Xue? Kill Without Mercy!
Meng Tuoluo said, "Crown Prince, don’t you think you’re betting too early? Just because he is the legendary World-Ending Demon Emperor, you are betting everything to support him? Hoping for immense rewards in the future? What can he win you? After he unifies the entire Demon Territory and rules the world, will he make you his empire’s prime minister? Or will he hand over the entire Southern Barbaric Lands for you to govern?"
Little Rakshasa King closed his eyes again and entered meditation.
He is always like this, never stingy with his gentle expressions and glances, and repeatedly saying ’dear’. But once he talks with Meng Tuoluo, if the conversation doesn’t go well, he doesn’t even have the slightest desire to communicate.
In this, he is quite similar to Lanling, with absolutely no patience.
Of course, Lanling’s impatience now is entirely a character flaw.
As for Little Rakshasa King, lacking patience is a common problem of geniuses. Because he feels that talking with idiots is a complete waste of time, like playing the lute to a cow.
It’s like when a failing student goes to ask a top student about a problem, the top student explains it with their own thinking, but the failing student still doesn’t understand, so the top student just says, "Buzz off."
It’s such a simple problem. Even a primary school student should understand it, and you still don’t get it. How else can I explain it to you?
Of course, the so-called ’even a primary school student should understand’ means that this top student already understood it when they were a primary school student.
Meng Tuoluo felt humiliated once again.
"Crown Prince, your aid to Lanling in his time of need will surely touch him deeply. But you are too anxious, too eager for quick success, too greedy..." Meng Tuoluo sneered, "Your investment in Lanling is too early. You might have lost already before the harvest season. Even if Lanling wins this war, so what? Don’t think I don’t know. What he summoned is the remnants of the Ghost King Empire, and not by virtue of being the Demon Emperor, but because he holds some token of the Ghost King."
"Even if Lanling is the World-Ending Demon Emperor, even if he conquers the world in the future, you may not live to see the time of rewards, because you need to pass the immediate crisis first. In a few days, your title of Crown Prince may be abolished!"
Meng Tuoluo had completely torn her facade.
Because she felt her trump card had been thoroughly seen through by Little Rakshasa King, and with Princess Na Xue backing her, Little Rakshasa King dared not kill her. As long as she didn’t reveal Lanling’s true identity, he wouldn’t kill her.
"Besides, Lanling is the most heartless. You helped him, protected him in his lowest time. After he achieves greatness, he may not be grateful. He might even be the first to kill you, for when an emperor ascends, the first thing is to kill the meritorious. Don’t you know that?"
Hearing this, even the meditating Little Rakshasa King couldn’t help but instinctively open his palm, then retract it.
He really, really, really wanted to slash this woman to death with one palm.
Unfortunately, Meng Tuoluo still had a little value, which exceeded the temporary satisfaction of killing her.
"It’s... unbelievably frustrating!"
At the northern front line, in the Rakshasa Palace.
The Rakshasa King said slowly, "Xi Ting, it seems this Lanling is a bloodline mutant and an invader of the Demonic Bloodline. Just like the father of the current Tiancha King, Bingren."
Upon hearing the Rakshasa King’s words, Xi Ting’s body trembled slightly, bending even lower.
The Rakshasa King continued to ask, "What do you think should be done? Should I kill this Lanling? Or should I make good use of him?"
Xi Ting’s bow deepened.
The Rakshasa King said, "Xi Ting, you must answer me. No evasion allowed."
After a long silence, Xi Ting said, "The important thing now is whether Crown Prince knows Lanling is a demonic bloodline mutant?"
The Rakshasa King slammed the armrest, "Xi Ting, you truly are my most trusted wise man. You’ve hit the nail on the head. Everyone else missed this key point, only you saw it. The most dangerous thing now is not that Lanling is a demonic bloodline mutant but that the Crown Prince knows and still defends him, even at the cost of confronting me and losing his title. My Crown Prince is colluding with a demonic bloodline mutant, and that is the most dangerous thing."
Hearing the Rakshasa King’s words, Xi Ting’s eyelids twitched slightly.
The Rakshasa King said, "You ask whether the Crown Prince knows of Lanling’s demonic bloodline? Of course, he knows! He knew before any of us. Otherwise, why would he recruit Lanling? Why would he marry Sha Yan to him? Why would he defend him with his life? These two have long been colluding."
Taking a deep breath, "So, abolishing the Crown Prince is more important than eliminating Lanling! First depose the Crown Prince, then eliminate Lanling. These are the largest matters within our Rakshasa Domain and are urgent tasks. Yes, the Demon Empire’s united front might bring catastrophe, but the Tiancha tribe is only one. We, the Demon Alliance, have six families. This war won’t end in a few years. But if Lanling and the Crown Prince stir trouble within the Rakshasa Tribe, one in Rakshasa City, and one below under the Demon Banner, they won’t take long to destroy and swallow the Thirteen Demon Flags. When I return to Rakshasa City, it would only be a hollow throne."
Xi Ting bent even lower.
The Rakshasa King said, "Xi Ting, remember this: to repel outside aggression, one must first secure internal stability. To repel outside aggression, one must first secure internal stability. To repel outside aggression, one must first secure internal stability!"
The Rakshasa King repeated three times!
"Yes!" Xi Ting said, "Scouts report that the army on the Tiancha tribe border has begun to gather for battle, and the Tiancha King’s banner is raised. It’s believed that within a few days, the battle will erupt. By then, we can depose the Crown Prince."
The Rakshasa King said, "Not enough, not nearly enough! If Tiancha King attacks us, even if the Crown Prince loses his title, what if he leads his loyal troops into the Flame Demon Banner? You know the Crown Prince is adept at winning hearts, with many mysterious secret forces loyal to him, like the Werewolf Tribe and the Monster Race Alliance."
Xi Ting’s face twitched.
The Rakshasa King’s last words betrayed a slight jealousy towards his son.
"If the Crown Prince and Lanling fully unite their forces while I’m leading forces at the border, who within the Rakshasa Tribe can stand against them?" The Rakshasa King said, "You, with my golden seal, personally visit the five great elders and have them stationed at the Crown Prince’s residence. Once Tiancha tribe attacks, I will immediately decree to depose the Crown Prince. Have the five great elders bring the Crown Prince before me, capture him to the northern palace, so he can’t fully join with Lanling."
"Yes!" Xi Ting said, "But... but what if the Crown Prince resists with force?"
The Rakshasa King closed his eyes, his body trembling slightly with a grim expression, "If the Crown Prince resists with force, then... then he has only himself to blame for my ruthlessness, kill without mercy!"
Xi Ting shivered in fear, kneeling on the ground, not daring to respond.
"Xi Ting, I’m doing this for the thousands of years of heritage of the Rakshasa Royal Family." The Rakshasa King sighed, "Old friend, our Rakshasa Tribe is at its most perilous moment now. Our primary enemy is not the Tiancha tribe anymore, at least not now, but the rebellious Crown Prince and Lanling!"
Xi Ting bowed deeply, "Your Majesty is farsighted, recognizing the Tiancha King’s ambition years ago, striving for the Demon Alliance. Now you’ve directly seen through Lanling and the Crown Prince’s conspiracy. With your wisdom, our Rakshasa Royal Family’s empire is surely stable for a millennia."
The Rakshasa King gently tapped the armrest of the throne, "Now, instead, I eagerly await the outbreak of war. I desperately hope the Tiancha tribe immediately attacks the Rakshasa Tribe. In this way, I can rightfully depose that treacherous son. But fortunately, this time will come very soon, probably within three to five days!"
Tiancha King, I have waited a long time, let the war begin!
