Returning to the topic of King Lingxiang accepting King Peacock's invitation to visit Phoenix Perch on the Wutong Tree to discuss important matters.

He also deliberately didn't bring the newly surrendered venomous python king with him.

Although this is blatant distrust, it is precisely the king's brilliance in bringing such matters into the open.

If he knowingly takes the Poisonous Python King to the meeting despite his weakened state, he might offend the Chinese military, but what will the other brothers among the Eighteen Demon Kings of Yunnan who do not support the Elephant King think?

The Peacock Demon King, who is the apparent eldest brother, is even more embarrassed. Should he let the Poisonous Python King stay and become the nineteenth brother?

So, will the Poisonous Python King be with me or the Peacock Demon King from now on?

However, if we keep him here, not only will all the above troubles disappear, but we can also take this opportunity to test him.

If it is confirmed that the Poisonous Python King has genuinely pledged allegiance, there may be other ways to help him quickly regain his strength.

Once his strength is restored, he can use it as a hidden trump card to prevent any unforeseen events.

King Lingxiang believed that a cunning fellow like King Poisonous Python could distinguish between what was important and what was not. Now that he had no relatives or friends, he would certainly not dare to play any tricks. Therefore, he was very at ease leaving him to guard the house.

However, the Spirit Elephant King had no idea that the Poisonous Python King was actually a treacherous double agent with malicious intentions.

He never expected that a human with Wang Zheng's strength would dare to venture into his Elephant Trunk Ridge.

If Wang Zheng hadn't unexpectedly broken in, the venomous python king might have remained hidden for a while longer.

However, the fight between Wang Zheng and Huang Zumeng gave the Poisonous Python King a glimmer of opportunity.

While he was still recovering his strength, he saw the distress signal released by Huang Zumeng.

He originally thought he was just an ordinary human being without any extraordinary abilities, not worth mentioning.

Moreover, he was somewhat angry because of the Spirit Elephant King's lack of attention and perfunctory attitude. Although he dared not openly oppose the Spirit Elephant King, secretly making the other party's only beloved offspring suffer a little could slightly alleviate his hatred.

That's why he deliberately didn't appear immediately.

However, when Huang Zumeng was forced to take out the demon king's inner core, a dark idea sprouted in the mind of the Poisonous Python King.

Now that the inner core has appeared in Huang Zumeng's hands, the Poisonous Python King naturally understands that it was left by the Spirit Elephant King for his son to use when he undergoes tribulation.

I will never give it to myself, no matter what.

Even half-demons need to undergo the tribulation of transformation.

Although half-demons are born in human form, their bloodline is impure. Although the strength of their offspring increases rapidly, they are often accompanied by intense pain of their souls being torn apart.

Those with weaker willpower may even develop mental problems, and it's not impossible for them to go insane.

Only after one's strength has reached a certain level, and one directly undergoes tribulation to completely purify one's bloodline, can one be said to have overcome the flaws of one's own race.

But this transformation tribulation...

Even complete mythical beasts are not that easy to obtain, let alone half-demon.

This demon king's inner core is the trump card that the Spirit Elephant King gave to his son.

This is also one of the reasons why the Spirit Elephant King was unwilling to provide the inner core.

I never expected that Wang Zheng would force me to use it now.

When the Poisonous Python King saw the strange changes in the world after Huang Zumeng devoured the inner core, it already knew that Huang Zumeng was reckless and that the enormous spiritual energy in the inner core had directly triggered a heavenly tribulation.

So a crazy idea flashed through his mind in an instant.

The Transformation Tribulation was already a matter of life and death, not to mention that Huang Zumeng's cultivation was far from sufficient at this time, and there was also a human causing trouble beside him.

If the Heavenly Tribulation strikes down and Huang Zumeng is killed by it, then the vast spiritual energy he just absorbed from the Demon King's inner core will have nowhere to go and will likely be directly compressed into his spiritual energy crystal by the pressure of the Transformation Tribulation.

Even if the spiritual crystal in Huang Zumeng's head is not as good as the Demon King's inner core, it will be almost as good.

Although he knew in his heart that Huang Zumeng's cultivation was still far from sufficient, the other party's original form was, after all, a spiritual elephant.

The Poisonous Python King worried that he might rely on his superior defense and recovery abilities, as well as the powerful spiritual energy in the Demon King's inner core, to somehow manage to survive the tribulation by sheer luck.

That's why he didn't intervene the second time, thinking that Wang Zheng would help him deplete Huang Zumeng's resources.

The most ingenious part is that the Poisonous Python King didn't make a move at all from beginning to end.

Huang Zumeng himself couldn't handle the stimulation, and during a fight with humans, he ate the inner core of the Demon King, which triggered his transformation tribulation.

Insufficient strength will result in utter ruin.

This whole thing has nothing to do with him, the Poisonous Python King. Even if that old yellow-tusked elephant comes back, it will only go after the humans who left behind signs of battle and spiritual energy fluctuations.

At most, I'll just be in seclusion and responsible for inadequate oversight.

As long as the Spirit Elephant King fails to find the culprit behind his son's conflict, he can cultivate in peace for one more day.

As for how to find the humans, well, how can you find a dead person?

If I were to obtain Huang Zumeng's spiritual energy crystal, I could simply find a place to hide and wait for the storm to pass before secretly developing my strength while the Spirit Elephant King was fighting the Chinese humans.

When his strength is restored, he won't need to be afraid of the Spirit Elephant King anymore. If he can't beat him, he can always run away.

This plan is absolutely perfect.
