Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1758: Chapter 1761: Truly Unexpected

Upon hearing Zhu Huai’s words, the cultivators instinctively nodded.

Different clans, different minds.

This is an unspoken truth, everyone knows subconsciously what to do.

Zhu Huai also felt relieved; even if the Black Cloud Demon King truly wants to act, he alone cannot stop him, but with so many people here, it’s still quite easy.

Therefore, his mindset began to gradually shift, glaring at the Black Cloud Demon King, ready to reclaim his dignity after being hit earlier.

However.

At this moment, the Black Cloud Demon King unexpectedly spoke.

He seemed awkwardly reciting some words, as if he was reading from a script: ”Do you want to deal with me? Have you thought it through, this is no longer your territory, but the God Slaying Alliance’s territory.”

”For someone else’s land, will you fight to the death with our demon clan? At most, the God Slaying Alliance will retreat back to their original area, but what about you?”

”Will you choose to move away with the God Slaying Alliance and become their subordinates, or compete with other cultivators for territory?”

”Think it over carefully, everyone!”

”Are you truly acting for the sake of the humans here?”

At this point, the Black Cloud Demon King’s lips curled into a sneer.

Although these words were taught to him by a human, he deeply agreed with them.

Just like how he never felt that the demon beasts below were of the same race as their demon clan, these cultivators may not necessarily believe that ordinary humans are of the same race as them.

After all, the gap between the two sides is too vast, to the extent that a mere wave of a hand could kill countless ordinary people.

Upon hearing these words, the cultivators displayed a peculiar expression.

Since when did the demon clan become so articulate?

However, after setting aside that question, they began to involuntarily ponder the Black Cloud Demon King’s words.

Though cold, it was indeed the truth.

If in the past, some cities were under their protection to some extent, it was because they were still receiving some benefits.

But now, the God Slaying Alliance has taken over everything, even sending people to threaten them.

If that’s the case, let the God Slaying Alliance handle it themselves; what does it have to do with them?

Whoever lives or dies, the God Slaying Alliance still has to deliver the promised goods.

Why would they fight to the death with the demon clan?

It’s now just one Demon King, but within the Ten Thousand Mountains, there are definitely more Demon Kings and even higher-ranking members of the demon clan.

There’s no reason for it!

They were contemplating, while Zhu Huai’s complexion had drastically changed: ”Dear friends and seniors, they are trying to sow discord! Those below are humans! Do you want to watch as they turn this place into a mountain of corpses and a blood sea?”

Upon hearing this, many people raised their heads.

In their hearts, they felt at least a small sense of compassion; while they might not feel any empathy when killing those people, watching humans akin to themselves being slaughtered or even eaten by the demon clan was still somewhat unsettling.

However, at this moment, the Black Cloud Demon King spoke again: ”Please rest assured, this time we act only to expel the God Slaying Alliance. Once all their people have left, we will absolutely not linger but rather retreat to the Ten Thousand Mountains!”

”Black Cloud Demon King, you!” Zhu Huai’s face changed again.

Previously, he was stating consequences, now it was truly sowing discord!

”Why?” a cultivator at the Divine Separation Stage frowned and asked.

This question was directed at the Black Cloud Demon King but simultaneously interrupted what Zhu Huai was about to say next.

”Why? Simple!” The Black Cloud Demon King sneered: ”Previously, humans fought among themselves, wary of each other, not forming a unified force, allowing us to peacefully coexist.”

”But now? The God Slaying Alliance has unified them all, ruling supreme! They already hold the core, cultivate much faster than other forces!”

”So, let me ask, once they consolidate this area, will our demon clan in the Ten Thousand Mountains still have peaceful days?”

”Our bones, flesh are bound to be used for alchemy and crafting, aren’t they?”

”Even our descendants could be raised as livestock for slaughter at any moment.”

”Therefore, to prevent future troubles, we must act!”

After the Black Cloud Demon King finished speaking, the cultivators subtly nodded.

The demon clan was indeed thinking more long-term this time.

None of them were fools; they understood clearly.

If they were part of the God Slaying Alliance, they too would be preparing to slowly consume the Ten Thousand Mountains.

While capturing them all is challenging, they could definitely push the human activity range as far as possible, thus seizing more resources.

Even if disregarding the demon clan, the various resources within the Ten Thousand Mountains would still be tempting.

Zhu Huai’s complexion was already extremely grim.

He wanted to retort, but didn’t know how!

Claiming the God Slaying Alliance would never target the Ten Thousand Mountains?

Forget about the cultivators, even he didn’t believe it!

Saying so would only invite ridicule.

Finally, he gritted his teeth: ”Dear friends, as long as you help my God Slaying Alliance this time, appropriate rewards will surely be given!”

Yet, no one responded at this moment, all remaining silent.

The words of the Black Cloud Demon King had already sunk into their hearts!

Not worth it!

Moreover, if they don’t take action now, when the God Slaying Alliance leaves and the demon clan retreats to the Ten Thousand Mountains, this place will return to their control.

In fact, after two rounds of tilling by the God Slaying Alliance and the demon clan, they could control it even better.

A quarter of Gourd Island, representing a quarter of the island’s resources!

Moreover, since the God Slaying Alliance can gather personnel to raid the Ten Thousand Mountains for territory and resources, so can they!

They couldn’t possibly resist the temptation!

With everyone’s silence, Zhu Huai’s heart had plunged into despair!

He had never considered these matters.

Never thought just after capturing Northwest Gourd Island, there’d be trouble.

Never thought the first to emerge would be the demon clan who usually never shows up!

Never thought the demon clan, who usually appeared foolishly reliant on brute force, would suddenly be so sharp-tongued!

What on earth has happened to this world?

”Damn it!”

Zhu Huai cursed through gritted teeth, his body abruptly flew back.

He was leaving.

He knew he couldn’t change the situation anymore; staying here would only lead to death!

He needed to convey the message, send it back to the God Slaying Alliance!

The Ten Thousand Mountains?!

The demon clan?!

Prepare to face the wrath of the God Slaying Alliance!

And the person behind all this, sooner or later the God Slaying Alliance will hunt you down!

He wasn’t foolish; he had already discerned that there was definitely someone behind the Black Cloud Demon King!
