143: Cooperation? Then let the Bear Demon Clan repay this

Upon hearing all of this, Agares was utterly stunned.

“Well played, Feng Xiu!”

“No wonder you agreed so readily, without even a moment of hesitation or fear that your authority would be questioned. So you were just waiting for me here all along?”

Agares was speechless.

However, upon closer consideration, it did align with his “elder brother’s” capabilities. Although he himself was quite cunning, he still fell short compared to Feng Xiu.

Nevertheless, Agares felt no anger or worry.

He had always intended to find an opportunity to negotiate with the humans, especially Long Xingyu. He knew that if he were to accomplish his goals, Long Xingyu would undoubtedly be his greatest helper. So, this time, he had to thank Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu for providing such an opportunity.

Thinking of this, Agares silently thanked his “brother” in his heart.

Then, he stepped forward, stood beside the Demon God Emperor, bowed slightly, and said, “Since Big Brother holds such high regard for your younger brother, then your younger brother will naturally not fail his mission. All of this will now be entrusted to your younger brother. Big Brother, please withdraw your troops.”

With that, Agares did not wait for Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu’s reply. Instead, he took a step forward on his own, and waves of moonlight emanated from him, continuously being activated.

He was resisting the pressure released by Long Xingyu, but the pressure he released did not carry much of a rebellious tone; instead, it had a hint of friendliness.

Hearing Agares’s words, Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu frowned. He could sense that this fellow was surely planning some crooked scheme. If he didn't, he wouldn't be Moon Demon God Agares.

But Feng Xiu didn't hesitate at all. He threw the mess to Agares and proceeded as he saw fit.

“Retreat the army.” Immediately, he waved his hand inwards. Hearing this, the expressions of countless Demon Gods, who had been on high alert, finally relaxed completely. They let out a long sigh and then led their respective armies to disperse.

As for the Moon Demon God army that had come, under the instruction of Moon Demon God Agares, they were led away by Star Demon God Vassago.

At present, the only ones who had defied military orders were the Bear Demon Clan.

They watched everything with keen eyes, and among them, the high-ranking ninth-tier Bear Demon revealed a hint of madness.

That madness was directed at Long Xingyu and Moon Demon God Agares.

More accurately, it was directed at the demon god crown in Long Xingyu’s hand; that was their true purpose for staying.

The Demon God race cannot go a single day without a Demon God.

They also believed that Agares, by staying this time, might choose to acquire the demon god crown of the Bear Demon God to expand his subordinate forces.

Since the current Bear Demon God successor had not arrived, it meant that a Bear Demon God would surely emerge from among them through selection. This was their greatest objective for staying.

As for avenging Long Xingyu or anything of that sort, they dared not even think about it.

They would die.

Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to become a Demon God, enjoy the Demon God Pillar and resource allocation, and then avoid Yulong Pass and Long Xingyu, finding other places to attack and conquer?

However, even though they were there, no one paid them any mind. Even the humans were not afraid of these Bear Demons suddenly launching an attack.

Looking at Agares in front of him, after a long while, someone among the humans responded.

However, it was not Long Xingyu, but the current Alliance Head, Yang Haohan.

At this moment, he was riding his godly throne of guardianship and mercy, stepping forward.

His expression was extremely stern as he looked at Agares.

After a while, the knight projection attached to the throne behind him moved, and Yang Haohan spoke, “Agares, this time, what explanation will you give us?”

His voice carried immense pressure.

Although he felt a slight resistance to this matter, since it concerned compensation for humanity, how could he simply let it go?

If he could bite off a piece of flesh from the Demon race, that would be incredibly satisfying!

And similarly, this was also Long Xingyu deliberately having him speak.

Although Long Xingyu was currently, and almost, the strongest individual in the entire Temple Alliance, in a world where might makes right, he absolutely had the right to speak, and Yang Haohan and the others also believed this.

However, as the current Alliance Head, he still needed to maintain his prestige.

Moreover, Long Xingyu was also secretly observing something: Agares’s current attitude, to see if it had evolved to its final stage.

In the original work, the original self eventually had a rebellious partner within the Demon race, someone who was privy to all secrets and could spread them freely.

And that entity was precisely the second Demon God Pillar, Agares.

If Agares had already evolved to that point, Long Xingyu wouldn't mind cooperating with him again.

After all, their two goals had no divergence.

Upon hearing this, Agares on the other side was also stunned.

It seemed they didn’t intend to let him interact with Long Xingyu?

Or perhaps, they were simply dissatisfied with what had just happened.

Agares, being incredibly intelligent, naturally understood their thoughts.

“Alliance Head Yang Haohan, if what you are referring to is the explanation for this incident,”

“Then, I have already delivered it. You are welcome to obtain it at any time.”

Agares explained calmly, his expression utterly relaxed, as if he had merely spoken casually.

“What explanation?” Yang Haohan was puzzled. He truly couldn't see any explanation, whether in words or direct compensation.

It was all the same.

However, in the next moment, he saw a wave of moon-blue light flash from Agares, vast and spreading in all directions. The power of the ninth-tier eighth-rank fully erupted at this moment. Even with Yang Haohan’s cultivation, he swiftly activated the power of his godly throne of guardianship and mercy, bringing his defensive capabilities to their peak.

At the same time, he looked angrily at Agares’s position.

“Is this… a direct attack? It seems the great war between humans and demons is, after all, going to happen?”

When the Bear Demon Clan below saw this, they also smiled. They could hear Agares and Yang Haohan’s words and knew an explanation was due. They had almost charged forward to fight, as they could not bear this insult.

Fortunately, Agares did not agree.

And now, it should be time to start the battle and reclaim the demon god crown, right?

At this moment, countless beings thought to themselves, forming an idea. If they acted now, wouldn’t it mean there was a possibility of becoming a Demon God?

However, they then discovered that the Moon Domain continuously spread and expanded, instantly binding their Bear Demon army completely, rendering them unable to move.

“Lord Agares, what is he doing?” This instantly confused all the Bear Demons.

And in the next moment, something even more perplexing to them was presented from Agares’s mouth.

“There is an explanation. Since the Bear Demon God violated the rules and attacked first,”

“And since he himself has already fallen, then the elite of the entire Bear Demon Clan shall explain and repay all of this!” (End of Chapter)
