#187 - Demon King holds the Red Blood Flag
A moment later.
General Si made his intentions clear.
It wasn't outright robbery.
They wanted the great demons who found dragon eggs to be proactive.
To offer the dragon eggs so they could pick the best ones.
After comparing them.
Those that were lacking, they wouldn't take.
You could take them yourselves through the teleportation array to the secret realm.
Whether to search for treasures or seek out dragon eggs with better bloodlines to offer to the蛟 King.
They didn't care.
Completely up to you.
Everyone relies on their own abilities.
Those containing more true dragon bloodlines would not be taken for nothing.
They would give you some benefits.
Moreover, they would take you with them into the teleportation array.
… …
"Hmph! This is even worse than outright robbery!"
Ling Yunzi said directly after listening.
If he had to say, it was really hard to evaluate which of these two methods was more unpleasant.
"The current one," Xu Chengxian said.
Because while it made him feel unpleasant, it also added a sense of humiliation.
The current situation.
Being blocked on the road wasn't the end of it.
The things already in hand had to be sent over for others to pick and choose.
What's the difference between offering your face for someone to slap!
He couldn't help but think, "They all feel it's excessive. Lingxiao and Yunzi probably want to endure it even less."
Cultivators, to some extent, all have some arrogance.
Or rather, those who have mastered some power, over time, no matter who they are, inevitably develop some pride.
How could they tolerate others humiliating them like this?
"Sister, brother, what do you say?" He sent a message to inquire about Lingxiao and Ling Yunzi.
Then, he continued, "I'll speak first. I think we can't trust these demon generals."
Wouldn't it be better to have fewer competitors?
"They are not trustworthy," Lingxiao agreed with Xu Chengxian's view.
The demon race doesn't like to play mind games; they do things more directly.
For example, tricking the great demons with dragon eggs out and killing them.
Not necessarily killing all of them.
"As long as a great demon is fooled, they will get a dragon egg, so they won't lose anyway."
They could also solve some opponents along the way.
If things go smoothly, they could really pick the best dragon egg.
In order to secure a foothold in a more advantageous place.
After all, from the state of the Emperor's Tomb, one can see that—
"The good things in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm should have been almost completely plundered."
Historically, one obtains the qualification to enter the secret realm by finding dragon eggs from the Emperor's Tomb.
Dragon eggs in the Emperor's Tomb are scarce, and their quality is not good.
The resources within the secret realm, after so many openings, who knows how much is left.
At this time, being one step faster means one more advantage.
"Then how will they distribute them?" Xu Chengxian said, "They are all demon generals; they shouldn't choose to use the same egg as a teleportation talisman."
So, will there be infighting?
Fight! Fight!
"What are you thinking?" Lingxiao said, "Even if they fight, it will have to be at the end when dividing the dragon eggs."
Of course, if anyone were to take out a dragon egg containing more than 50% true dragon bloodline at this time, it would immediately cause them to start a great battle.
Because such a dragon egg ensures that the landing place must be the core area of the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.
At least it would be the tomb of a demon lord-level true dragon.
"So, hoping they fight and taking advantage of the chaos to enter the teleportation array is impossible," Xu Chengxian said regretfully.
They could only continue to think about what to do.
Since everyone had reached a consensus that General Si's words were not trustworthy, they didn't move.
"His words are not only untrustworthy but also cannot be believed," Lingxiao continued, "Don't forget, there's still Jin Hong."
Jin Hong held a grudge against them.
And General Si had also promised to help deal with the three of them.
The most crucial thing was that they didn't intend to let Jin Hong off the hook.
"This seat has said, he must die," Ling Yunzi said.
"Of course."
"That's right."
Lingxiao and Xu Chengxian said at the same time.
Jin Hong must die.
This was a consensus reached earlier.
"Then what do you say, will the demons believe it?" Xu Chengxian asked.
"Of course, there will be," Lingxiao said.
According to the unwritten rules within the Emperor's Tomb.
Demon generals would not arbitrarily kill great demons.
Because everyone's demands were different.
The difference in cultivation and combat power also meant that conflicts rarely occurred between them.
The main reason was that suppressing and killing great demons not only consumed mana but also yielded very little—most of the demons entering the Emperor's Tomb, like Jin Hong's brocade-clad cousin, would not carry their belongings with them.
Moreover, it might cause trouble and be resented by the other party's clan.
"Perhaps some great demons believe that General Si and others will follow this rule."
Especially the great demons who came here not for the sake of becoming the son-in-law of the蛟 King.
Perhaps in their view, following the demon generals into the secret realm was safer and more rewarding than entering it on their own.
"Then who does the spiritual object belong to when encountered?" Xu Chengxian asked.
"Very simple," Ling Yunzi replied, "Some things that are good for the great demons may not be valued by the demon generals."
"Moreover, things in the secret realm are not so easy to obtain."
They were able to successfully search for spiritual objects along the way in the Emperor's Tomb because the three of them each had their own unique skills.
And the three of them advanced and retreated together, cooperating with each other.
Other great demons were acting alone, so their gains were definitely not as good as theirs.
"If they encounter a treasure and don't have the ability to get it themselves, they can ask the demon general to take action and get a share of the pie."
Surely some great demons would think this way.
Lingxiao's judgment rarely went wrong.
Therefore, while the three were talking, some demons had already walked out from the shadows.
However, they didn't walk directly towards General Si.
Instead, after walking out, they stood at a distance from the teleportation array, that is, the several demon generals.
They bowed their hands to the several demon generals from afar.
"Greetings, generals."
With one taking the lead, soon two or three more great demons slowly walked out.
They all saluted.
But they all tacitly didn't move forward anymore.
"Good, is there anyone else?" General Si smiled when he saw this and asked loudly around again.
As soon as his voice fell, several more great demons walked out from the shadows.
Counting them, in a short time, more than a dozen had walked out.
"Hmph, there are only a dozen?" General Si said coldly, seemingly very dissatisfied with this, "The rest of you, come out quickly, and don't have any thoughts you shouldn't."
As he spoke, he raised his hand.
A large flag appeared beside him.
On the bright red flag, there was the character 'General'.
… …
"This is the Demon Emperor General's Crimson Blood Flag!"
