#1664 - Just this little bit, and you think highly of me?!
The Shadow Demon, as the mastermind of the demon race, quickly devised a brilliant plan. He whispered it to Guyang,
"We can feign to openly seize the relic first. This way, both Xitian and the Prison God will come to demand it.
Then, we can take advantage of them and drive a hard bargain, playing a trickster's game. This way, whoever wants the relic will eventually fight among themselves.
If Xitian gets it, they can naturally follow their original plan, whether it's suppressing or intimidating the Journey to the West team. That's their business.
But if the Prison God gets it, Xitian will inevitably have a flesh-cutting deal with the Prison God. Whichever side gets it, it will easily lead to infighting, and we can watch from the sidelines!"
Guyang's eyebrows shot up, his face filled with delight.
"You mean, hold something like an auction, so they can bid against each other and fight internally? Excellent! You truly are something!"
The Shadow Demon smiled slightly.
"It's not just that. Now that we have this Great Buddha Relic to replace the relic of Jisaigūo, we can sell it twice!
First, we take out this Great Buddha Relic. The side that receives the Great Buddha Relic will naturally face the other side's struggle, leading to another infighting.
And the second time, we take out the real relic of Jisaigūo and let them fight again! This way, the鹬蚌相争渔翁得利! (When the snipe and clam grapple, the fisherman profits.)"
Guyang slapped his thigh, a look of great joy on his face.
"Excellent! No wonder you are comparable to the Prison God among the demons, the Demon Race's Little Prison God! Hahahaha!"
Shadow Demon: "Ah... Hahaha... Ha..."
How should I put it? It's a bit emotional. I've never heard anyone call the Prison God the Little Prison God before.
Guyang's face was full of amazement, and he exclaimed even more:
"Having you here is my great fortune, the demon race's great fortune, the demonic path's great fortune! I am truly overjoyed!"
Shadow Demon: You're happy too early.
Hehe.
However, the Shadow Demon also said very seriously:
"Great Marshal Guyang, this relic of Jisaigūo is also a very important opportunity for our demon race. Now that we are in the Avici Hell, and have been unable to conquer it for a long time, it is a great taboo.
And this relic is an important item for Xitian's completion of the tribulation. During negotiations, we can use this treasure to make Xitian retreat from the Avici Hell!
Even if Xitian doesn't agree, we can have the Enforcement Hall take action and help us attack the Avici Hell together!"
Guyang nodded repeatedly, greatly agreeing:
"What you say makes sense. In that case, this will be our greatest opportunity!"
"In that case, I will personally handle this matter! I will put on a show with that Nine-Headed Insect and seize this relic in public!"
The Shadow Demon was shocked.
"Absolutely not! You are the Great Marshal of the army, you cannot put yourself in danger. Let me handle this kind of trivial matter. After all, I am skilled in this area and can easily escape."
Guyang's face was full of hesitation.
"But... how can I bear to let you put yourself in danger? Your importance is even greater than mine!
How about this, before the battle, come with me first. I have some treasures that can enhance your strength. Please do not decline!"
The sincerity on Guyang's face moved the Shadow Demon. It must be said that Guyang is truly kind and gentle, and treats his subordinates with all his heart.
Such a good Great Marshal, if I were to trick him, would I still be human?
Oh, I am the Shadow Demon, so it's okay.
What the Shadow Demon tricks has nothing to do with my Prison God?
It was also the first time Chu Hao had come to the Demon Race's treasure vault. He had seen it once before in the Abyss.
But at that time, he had just entered the Abyss, his strength was insufficient, and there was a city lord guarding the main city, so Chu Hao had not even entered the treasure vault, only obtaining that soul jade.
Who would have thought that the Demon Race was just a leading team, and they had brought so many treasures. Their quantity and quality even exceeded the magic weapons Chu Hao had previously looted in Lingshan!
The wealth of the Abyss Demon Race is probably no less than that of Xitian.
If all of this were moved to my Enforcement Hall, wouldn't that be amazing! In minutes, it would be another small Jie Sect!
Guyang said triumphantly:
"This is the entire wealth of Chitian Demon City and several other main cities. The Abyss Demon Race has planned to swallow the Three Realms and Six Paths, and seize territory, so those city lords have spared no effort to send resources over, in order to fight a great battle one day!
And I, Guyang, am not talented, but as the Great Marshal, I can mobilize a portion of these things. Although it's not much, taking one-tenth or one-twelfth is not a problem.
Brother, what's mine is yours. As long as you open your mouth, you can take anything you want here!"
Guyang waved his hand heroically, acting like a suave person. After all, he doesn't feel bad for things that aren't his.
The Shadow Demon hesitated for a moment, but said:
"I have been trapped in the fifth level for a long time, I only need a few demon cores to break through to the sixth level."
Although, Chu Hao felt a little shameless as soon as he opened his mouth.
Demon cores are the crystal cores left by the strong of the demon race, and they are also the essence of energy. Their preciousness is a thousand times greater than demon cores.
Demon cores that allow the Shadow Demon to break through to the sixth level are more than twice as precious as demon cores that allow a fifth-level great demon to break through to the sixth level!
Moreover, Chu Hao had just been upgraded before, so it was only the beginning of accumulating experience points. If he wanted to upgrade to breakthrough all at once, he would need even more.
Chu Hao looked at Guyang a little unsure, but saw that Guyang's face was a little unhappy.
Chu Hao thought that he was asking for too much, and quickly said:
"Actually, it's okay not to have it..."
Anyway, I will take it myself later. Taking these things in Guyang's name is a little bit sorry for Guyang.
However, he saw Guyang's face turn cold and said unhappily:
"Brother Shadow Demon, are you looking down on me?!
I, Guyang, am now the Great Marshal, and I can summon a hundred responses, the Supreme of the Demon Race! I once promised you to share wealth and glory, and to embark on the road to prosperity together!
You, you only want so little?! Are you looking down on me! Do you think I, Guyang, am stingy and miserly!
Today, you must not only take those demon cores, but also the top-level demon armor! The demon crossbow used by the Demon Ancestor in the past! The sword of the demonic path in my hand! You must take them all away! Otherwise, I will be angry with you!"
Guyang spoke with great excitement, like a mad lion who had been humiliated.
Chu Hao stayed where he was, surrounded by豪气 (heroic spirit), at a loss.
