453: The talk with the empress broke down!
“Mercy, my King, mercy!”
This demon king, whose true form was unknown, had also transformed into a human shape.
Only a few key parts remained in their beast form.
He had been completely terrified by Guo Feng’s strength, and when Guo Feng grabbed him, he immediately cried out!
The other two great demon kings also quickly knelt on the ground, shouting along with him!
Guo Feng gripped the demon king's neck in his hand and said coldly, “Will you yourselves lift the beast tide, or shall I kill you and then deal with those demonic beasts?”
“We’ll lift it immediately, we’ll lift it immediately!”
The demon king immediately cried out.
Upon hearing this, Guo Feng then threw the demon king to the ground, watching them coldly.
The three demon kings immediately formed hand seals, and from each of them flew out a semi-transparent sphere like crystal.
They simultaneously pressed their hands onto these crystal spheres, muttering something under their breath.
Subsequently, a beam of light shot into the clouds, then blossomed outwards like fireworks.
Then, the three demon kings hurried over, bowing their heads and saying, “King Guo, we have already ordered the demonic beasts of all tribes to return to the mountains.”
“Hmm.”
Guo Feng nodded, then turned to look at Vast Heaven King, “Senior Vast Heaven King, let them check.”
“Alright.”
Vast Heaven King nodded and immediately gave the order.
Soon after, a soldier came to report that the beast tide had indeed ended.
Guo Feng nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the crystal spheres in the hands of the three demon kings, intrigued: “What kind of magical treasure is this, that it can control demonic beasts over such a large area?”
“Replying to King Guo, this is the Myriad Demon Orb left by our ancestors. The leaders of each tribe engrave their soul imprints on it.”
“And below them, they also possess a lower-grade Myriad Demon Orb, which can control the demonic beasts beneath them.”
“Whenever we need to do something, we issue commands through the Myriad Demon Orb.”
The demon king who had been choked by Guo Feng earlier explained to Guo Feng.
Guo Feng was startled. There was actually such a magical treasure in this world?
If so, wouldn't it be possible to control all the demonic beasts in the Jinghua Spirit Realm?
However, he was not interested in the Myriad Demon Orb.
Because as long as he controlled these demon kings, he could control the demon race of the Jinghua Spirit Realm.
Moreover, it could reduce some karma.
After all, putting himself in their shoes, human cultivators were also capturing the demon race now.
And the demon race would also harm humans.
It was impossible to clearly distinguish who was good and who was evil.
Sometimes, conflicts between races mostly did not involve good or evil, or morality.
Only tribal interests.
Of course, if a balance could be found in this, that would be best.
But Guo Feng was not a saint; he had not yet thought of finding a balance point for humans and the demon race.
His current goal was merely to reshape the Haotian Nine Provinces, restart the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, and find his parents.
He waved his hand, “Alright, you three demon kings, do not resist. I will take you in and make you my spirit beasts. If there is the slightest resistance, I will immediately kill you.”
“Yes.”
The three demon kings knew that they had no room for resistance now.
Being taken as spirit beasts by Guo Feng was also the best outcome.
So, they immediately sat cross-legged and emptied their minds.
Guo Feng immediately waved out streaks of Beast Taming Talismans, which transformed into streaks of beast-taming power, entering the bodies of these demon kings.
With his current strength, plus the cooperation of these demon kings.
In a moment.
These three great demon kings had already been taken as Guo Feng’s spirit beasts by the Beast Taming Talismans, completely submitting to him.
After a series of inquiries, he indeed learned that the previous beast tide was also orchestrated by Lord Huntian in collusion with them.
It was used as a psychological deterrent against the Chinese government and Chinese cultivators.
Paving the way for his future seizure of power.
At the same time, he used a secret method to open the spatial barrier between the Jinghua Spirit Realm and the Chaos Continent.
And established contact with Guo Wang City.
At the same time, he also established contact with the Empress.
And exchanged many secrets!
After asking, Guo Feng waved his hand at the three demon kings: “You each return to your tribal lands, manage the demon race under your command, and after our strategy for the demon race areas is decided, I will notify you through the Beast Taming Talisman.”
“Yes, Master!”
The three demon kings dared not disobey and quickly nodded in agreement.
Soon, they directly transformed into three streaks of light, soaring towards the horizon.
Disappearing in a flash.
“Now, the conflict with the demon race in the Jinghua Spirit Realm has somewhat been resolved.”
Guo Feng said with a smile, then turned to look at Zhao Xing, Tai Luo, and Luo Su, whose powers had been largely sealed.
He frowned: “What’s going on with you? How were you controlled by the Empress?”
“Empress used the Refining Heaven King Cauldron to refine our core hearts, making us work for her. This is also our destiny.”
“We would rather die than betray Empress.”
“Empress is our great benefactor.”
For a moment, when these three spoke of Hua Shangyue, it was as if they had entered a pyramid scheme organization and been brainwashed.
Guo Feng also saw that these three were probably not just simply brainwashed.
But rather, their minds had been completely controlled.
They were already living puppets.
It was as if their spirits had died; trying to conquer them was completely useless.
He smiled and waved his hand: “Alright, I won’t make you betray Hua Shangyue either. I still have a deal with Hua Shangyue, but I didn’t expect that she, the dignified Solar Flame Empress, would go back on her word.”
He paused, looking at Zhao Xing, and asked again, “Do you have a way to contact Hua Shangyue? I need to speak with her.”
Zhao Xing was still quite polite to Guo Feng and quickly said, “Empress had already made arrangements. If we failed, use this Refining Heaven Thousand Mile Talisman to let you contact her.”
“Refining Heaven Thousand Mile Talisman?”
Guo Feng raised an eyebrow, “It seems this is also a marvelous use of the Refining Heaven King Cauldron. It truly lives up to its reputation as one of the ten great divine artifacts of the Chaos Continent.”
He waved his hand, “Begin.”
“Alright, Wind King.”
Zhao Xing smiled and nodded. With a flip of his hand, a powerful talisman, inscribed with mysterious runes and bearing the image of the Refining Heaven King Cauldron, instantly appeared before him.
He lifted it up.
The talisman flew into the air, exploded with a bang, and then a phantom figure emerged from the void.
This was a woman with an almost perfect appearance.
She wore a majestic imperial robe.
In her hand, she held a staff.
She looked down at Guo Feng, “Guo Feng, I didn’t expect them to fail.”
“There are many things you haven’t expected yet.”
Guo Feng chuckled, “Hua Shangyue, you and I originally had a deal, but I didn’t expect you to go back on your word. How will you explain yourself to me?”
“It’s not that I went back on my word, but rather your Lord Huntian promised me control over half of the Land of Sins.”
The Empress said indifferently, “I know it’s absolutely impossible for you to give up even a shred of the Land of Sins, so I agreed to his terms.”
She paused, “However, since we have reached this point, I can no longer make a deal with you as before.”
Her gaze sharpened, “Guo Feng, of the Haotian Nine Provinces, I only want three. The Profound Yellow Continent, you must share with me. The Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, you and I will jointly develop it.”
“What if I don’t agree?”
Guo Feng sneered.
Giving up territory on the Chinese mainland was absolutely impossible.
“Don’t agree?”
The Empress sneered, “Then await the advance of my imperial army!”
