601 Stirring a Storm
The war finally ended, and there was no point in wasting resources anymore. The ordinary people and elves worked together to fight against the low-level demon beasts. There was now a reduction in manpower, but compared to the number of deaths of the low-level demon beasts, it was even greater. Moreover, this ratio already exceeded their expectations.
No matter how cheap low-level monsters were, they were not worthless trash. Moreover, it was possible that a low-level monster could break through the restrictions and become a high-level monster.
Thinking about it this way, it could have been a huge loss!
Similarly, Lin Xuan and Zhang Jintao did not want to continue fighting.
What Lin Xuan was concerned about was the number of people left. For every person who died, there would be one less person who could cultivate Tinder Sutra. Even if the true energy provided by one person was not much, this thing could be accumulated. Over a year or ten years, the amount of energy that one person could provide was not something that Lin Xuan could easily ignore.
Zhang Jintao had the same idea. He was thinking about how humans had just started cultivating the Tinder Sutra. As long as they had enough time to cultivate, hundreds of thousands of ordinary people could kill a Demon Saint with one punch one day!
Theoretically, it was possible, but unfortunately, no one has tested it out before. It was not easy to combine the Tinder Sutra. If it was at night, it would be difficult to perform the combined attack.
Countless people watched as the demons fled into the depths of the borderline mountain. They did not continue to chase after them. Of course, they had to arrange for the follow-up clean-up plan.
After this battle, the borderline mountain dungeon would have at least two years of peace to develop themselves. However, Lin Xuan would not give the demons that much time to prepare for another war. After all, the situation on the Blue Planet was not optimistic.
The time in the instance dungeon and the time on the Blue Planet were different. There was a time ratio. It was just like when Lin Xuan was stuck in the yellow-rank limit instance dungeon for five to six days, while Principal Lin only waited for an afternoon outside. This time ratio would be greater in the higher level of the instance dungeon. After all, the environment and opponents involved in the earth-rank instance dungeon were rather complicated. It was definitely not something that could be solved in one or two days.
As for the exact time ratio, Lin Xuan did not deliberately try to find out.
…
Lin Xuan was a professional when it came to assassination.
To some of the earth-rank powerhouses, Lin Xuan’s innate skill Killing was hardly effective. However, he could kill all the peak-level beasts below the Emperor rank, and even rank-nine demons with no chance of resistance.
Three months after the war ended, Lin Xuan sneaked into the Demon Realm and began a massacre. Of course, it was not a random massacre, but a premeditated and planned massacre. There were three Holy Royal Courts, one Supreme Royal Court, and the forces of the Demon Emperors of all sizes there. It was difficult for the human forces to invade the Demon Realm in a short time. After all, the number of demons was still superior. It was not easy to occupy a place in the Demon Realm and set a base.
On the side of the Demon Realm, they didn’t have enough to invade another realm, but they had more than enough to defend the city. They weren’t so easy to bully.
In the three months after the end of the war, the human race had been investigating the forces in the Demon Realm. Who had a situation with who, who had a dirty relationship with who, who didn’t get along with who, and who wanted someone to die… Because of the previous defeat in the Demon Realm, countless low-level demon beasts had fled back to the Demon Realm in a hurry. Therefore, many demon traitors had also followed them back. After three months, they had a general understanding of the situation in the Demon Realm.
What followed next was the time for slaughter. The demons that Lin Xuan killed would be blamed on the demons of other demon factions. All he had to do was secretly stir up the situation.
Lin Xuan first went to the Moon Royal Court, which was the territory of the Moon Lord. Currently, the Moon Royal Court was preparing for a grand wedding. The Lord of the Moon Royal Court, the Silver Wind King, was about to marry the two princesses of the Greenwood Royal Court and the Roc Royal Court.
In the war between humans and demons, although the Demon Realm lost, many strong men from the Royal Court rarely died. On the one hand, they were strong because of the items they inherited, their bloodlines were strong, and their magical powers were profound, so they would not die easily. On the other hand, they relied on their power to let others go to dangerous places while they stayed in a safe place.
As a result, there were naturally not many powerhouses who died in the three Royal Courts. Most of the ones who died were those wild powerhouses from outside the courts.
At least the three Wolf Kings of the Moon Royal Court were not dead!
According to the information obtained by Lin Xuan, the first, second, and third Wolf King were not on good terms with each other. It was not because of the position, but because the first Wolf King’s servile behavior to the two Royal Courts was really unpleasant to the eyes of the two other Wolf Kings.
However, in Lin Xuan’s opinion, there was nothing wrong with what the Wolf King did. After all, their father was not in the borderline mountain dungeon. In terms of pure strength, the Moon Royal Court was no match for the two Royal Courts. The existence of the Demon Saint alone was enough to tilt the balance of victory.
After some research, Lin Xuan decided to kill the first Wolf King, which was also the Silver Wind King. As long as he killed it, the second and third Wolf Kings would take over the position of being the stand in Moon Lord of the Moon Royal Court. With their usual thinking, they would naturally not be submissive to the two Royal Courts. Instead, they would attack with heavy blows. When the time came, with the three Royal Courts as the center of the vortex, it would be enough to involve most parties in the Demon Realm.
The problem now was whether to kill these two princesses from the Greenwood Royal Court and the Roc Royal Court.
Killing them would look too deliberate.
If he didn’t kill them, he wouldn’t give the two Royal Courts a reason to interfere in the Moon Royal Court. Moreover, what if the two Wolf Kings were just putting on an act when they knew that the first Wolf King was the one that was right? What should they do if the wolf and the princess were married?
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Xuan decided to kill them in case of any accidents.
Of course, Lin Xuan would not be dealing with these demons himself. The Demon Saints mustn’t find out that it was a human who killed them. It had to be another demon.
It was simple yet difficult. At least, it was not difficult for Lin Xuan to use the Fetal Transformation divine power. This was originally a great divine power used to show off his powers in Xiaori Country.
As for his target, he could just choose a top demon that liked one of the princess demons… He could target one of the Demon Emperors at the peak stage but was still not qualified to enter the court.
It was impossible for a single Demon Emperor to break into the Moon Royal Court and kill the Silver Wind King and the two princesses.
Therefore, Lin Xuan activated the great Abhijna of Light Assimilation and shopped around in the Demon Realm. He came to the territory of an itinerant Demon Emperor and killed it quietly. Then, he went to the command of another Demon Emperor of the Royal Court and killed it when it was taking a stroll outside the Royal Court. For the last Demon Emperor, Lin Xuan chose the Black Wind King. This was the second Wolf King of the Moon Royal Court. There was no need to kill this one. He just left a little secret that was not easy to be discovered, but it was enough to provide extremely crucial evidence that he was the culprit.
