Chapter 158: What Do You Call a Network King?

Slowly, everyone finally began to recover their wits.

Some were whispering and discussing.

"Just who is this Chen Yi? He's so strong, how come I've never heard of him before?"

"I heard he's the Female Emperor's lover, the Great Khan of the Northern Frontier's younger brother, trained in the Sword Sect, saved the Emperor of the Central Plains, and is also a powerful minister of great importance in the Xiliang Spirit Artifact Nation."

"So it's Senior Chen! I've long heard of your great name! I've felt a deep spiritual connection with him for a long time! Hahaha..."

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner floated above the heads of the gathered Spirit Artifacts and began delivering a victory speech.

"See that? This is Zhen's servant!

All his achievements today are thanks to Zhen's brilliant, divine, and martial leadership and teaching!

From now on, you all must loyally follow Zhen, conquer the Central Plains as soon as possible, and unify the world!"

The Immortal-Binding Rope couldn't help but remind the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... lower your voice, they can hear!"

The war had temporarily stopped after you punched through the Four Ancestors, both sides stunned into a momentary pause.

One side was shocked that "someone on our side is actually this strong."

The other side was shocked that "someone on their side is actually this strong."

Being at the Martial Saint Realm and possessing relatively high ancient divine beast bloodlines, the Four Great Demon Ancestors would not immediately die just because your body had pierced through theirs.

The Demon Tribe was naturally blessed with astonishing physiques and tenacious vitality.

For these four, this was just a relatively serious external injury; it wouldn't kill them.

But their combat power was definitely greatly affected.

You approached the Azure Dragon.

But you were not alone.

Behind you was the Five Regions All-Star lineup!

The Azure Dragon was half-crouched on the ground, clutching a bloody hole in his body, his expression ugly.

"Human! You dare approach this venerable one, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?!"

You placed a bottle of medicinal pills on the ground.

"Take them. Your wound will heal faster."

"Take away your filthy things! These must also be refined from something weak and innocent, right?!"

You shrugged.

"Dragon Bone Flower, Panax Notoginseng Herb and such... they were indeed quite innocent, growing peacefully only to be picked, ground into powder, and refined into pills."

"Are you here to mock me? We haven't lost yet!"

You took out the Demon Refining Pot.

"Aside from that Four-Eyed Spiritual Monkey, the other Demon Kings can all be returned to you. Don't worry, they're all alive and well."

The Azure Dragon's expression changed slightly.

"Human, what exactly do you want?"

"Ceasefire."

"You know that's impossible!"

Your voice suddenly rose by an octave.

"Wasn't the blood shed in the Demon World thirty thousand years ago enough?!

Do you want the Dragon-Man tribe to do it again in the human world, to have the human world also be erased from the Void Realm?!

If you truly regard the human world as a second homeland, stop this internal strife. I fear the Dragon-Man tribe is somewhere watching right now as we fight until we're both battered and bruised!"

The Azure Dragon's face changed dramatically.

"You know the Demon World was erased?"

You sighed.

"I've been to the Demon World. No life, no light, a sea of gray, endless wandering souls..."

"Nonsense! You're only at the Spirit Condensation Realm! Even if you had ten Nine Provinces Cauldrons, you couldn't go there!"

"What if it was like this..."

You pulled out the still-smoking Qiankun Mirror and showed it to the Azure Dragon.

"How is that thing in your hands? Wasn't the Qiankun Mirror always cooperating with the Shen Family?"

"It's a long story, and not what we're here to discuss today."

The Azure Dragon tapped his claw on the wound, using some kind of demonic technique to temporarily stop the bleeding.

He stood up, a full five meters tall, looking down at you with a disdainful gaze.

Although you were shorter than him, your aura was five point eight meters!

"For us to withdraw our troops, the human race must agree to several conditions. First..."

Hearing these words, many Martial Saints and Martial Kings behind you could hardly conceal the joy in their hearts.

This war had been going on for several years. Even these powerhouses were tired. A ceasefire would be wonderful; they could agree to any condition!

Unexpectedly, you directly interrupted the Azure Dragon.

"The defeated have no right to set conditions."

The Azure Dragon's face flushed with anger.

"Who are you calling defeated?"

Your gaze swept over the Four Great Demon Ancestors.

"I'm calling the four of you defeated."

"You..."

"The egg-switching incident was wrong on the part of the Five Regions. Those who should have been caught were caught, those who should have been killed were killed.

You've also killed many people in this war, enough to pay with their lives.

What we can guarantee is that such a thing will never happen again.

You may not believe it, but at the very least, believe that no one here is willing to go to war with the Demon Tribe again.

We cultivate not to fight someone to the death, but for longevity, to pursue the Great Dao!

You keep saying the Five Regions are colluding with the Dragon-Man tribe, trying to sell out the human world.

If you continue stubbornly on this path, fighting the Five Regions to mutual destruction, aren't you also dooming the human world?

This war has gone on long enough. Your Guardian also wouldn't want to see the Dragon-Man tribe's conspiracy succeed again!"

Hearing the word "Guardian," all Four Great Demon Ancestors showed expressions of surprise. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"You've met our... Guardian?"

"He's dead. The Demon World was erased, its wandering souls unable to find peace. Although your Guardian had a way to annihilate himself, he was suppressed by the Dragon-Man tribe using Soul-Binding Chains in an ancient city."

Hearing this, the White Tiger punched the mountain, punching a hole clean through it.

"Bastard Dragon-Man tribe! They actually dared to suppress my tribe's destiny! No wonder for thirty thousand years, my tribe has been unable to break through to the Demon God Realm in the human world!"

The Demon God he mentioned was actually the Martial God Realm among martial artists.

The Azure Dragon also showed a thoughtful expression, seeming to understand some things, and asked.

"What about the Guardian now?"

"I rescued him from under the Soul-Binding Chains. To annihilate himself, and also to send me back to the human world, he sacrificed himself.

He said that because of this, a new Guardian would emerge among your Demon Tribe."

The Four Great Demon Ancestors showed sorrowful expressions.

You felt these demons seemed less scheming than humans, their emotions all showing on their faces.

"The Guardian fought for our Demon Tribe in life, and in death sought liberation for the Demon Tribe's future. He was a great demon."

Listening to your conversation with the Four Great Demon Ancestors, the Sword Lord was suddenly struck by inspiration. He stepped forward and spoke.

"Chen Yi helped the Demon Tribe release the suppressed Guardian, allowing your race to reopen its destiny, giving you a better chance for a new Guardian to appear in the future. Isn't Chen Yi a great benefactor to the Demon Tribe?"

The Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and the others looked at each other.

Damn, that makes sense!

You coughed lightly, raising your hand to speak.

"No need for thanks. I'm just a nameless soldier who happened to pass through the Demon World."

Behind you, the various big shots of the Five Regions were now looking at you with eyes full of worship, even tinged with a bit of speechlessness.

They thought your connections in the Five Regions were already sky-high.

Little did they know you were also a great benefactor to the Demon Tribe!

These connections... are simply invincible!

Network King, truly well-deserved!
