Only one day has passed.
The news that the Boundless Holy Land was demanding people from the Demon Slayer Sect spread throughout the entire Southern Region.
No one expected that the Wuji Holy Land would be so resolute.
After all, the Demon Slayer Sect is no pushover. Its sect leader, Zeng Mushen, is a genuine Tribulation Transcending cultivator.
Even so, the Supreme Elder of the Boundless Holy Land still made a statement.
Within three days, make Zeng Mushen hand over the murderer, Chu Mo.
Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!
As for what the so-called consequences will be, everyone is speculating.
The royal palace of the Demon-Suppressing Kingdom.
At this moment, the king, Xiahou Nan, sat solemnly on the dragon throne, surrounded by powerful figures below.
"Everyone, how should we handle this matter? Please feel free to speak your minds."
As one of the top three powerful empires in the Southern Region, it's impossible for them not to know what's happening within their own borders.
Although the powerful sects within each country are mostly not subordinate to the country itself.
But at least on the surface, the Demon Slayer Sect is still a member of the Demon Suppression Kingdom.
Therefore, the Demon Suppressing Kingdom could not possibly pretend to be unaware of the actions of the Wuji Holy Land.
No matter what, we are a major power in the Southern Region, and we still need to save face.
"Your Majesty, since the evidence from the Boundless Holy Land is conclusive, let the Demon Slayer Sect hand over the murderer. As the saying goes, a life for a life."
A dignified old man stepped forward, his face full of righteous indignation.
But no sooner had he finished speaking than a burly old general expressed a different opinion.
"Prime Minister, you are mistaken. Chu Mo is a prodigy, and a member of our Demon-Suppressing Kingdom. How can we easily hand over such a genius?"
"Given time, Chu Mo's terrifying achievements will surely shock the world. This may be the perfect opportunity for our Demon Suppression Kingdom to take another step forward."
"Indeed, General Guan's words are exactly what we all think. Chu Mo's matter is not just about the Demon Slayer Sect."
A minister immediately expressed his agreement.
However, there are also many opponents, with all sorts of reasons.
But in summary, there are three points.
First, the Wuji Holy Land is too powerful, and the price of offending them is too high.
Secondly, neither the Demon Slayer Sect nor Chu Mo are government officials, so it's not worth risking our lives for them.
Third, and most importantly, even if the Demon Suppression Kingdom decides to support Chu Mo, it cannot withstand the pressure from the Boundless Holy Land.
King Xiahou Nan looked solemn and pondered for a long time before asking seriously:
"What do you all think are the advantages and disadvantages of summoning Chu Mo to be the prince consort?"
The moment these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent, and many people couldn't help but stare in disbelief.
After a moment of stunned silence, the Prime Minister hurriedly shouted to dissuade him:
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. It is not worth offending the Boundless Holy Land for the sake of a mere Chu Mo."
"In my humble opinion, we should pretend we don't know anything about this matter. Why get involved in this mess? I hope Your Majesty will reconsider."
The burly general who had previously opposed him immediately stood up and angrily said:
"Does the Prime Minister know how old Chu Mo is this year? He is not yet twenty-five."
"But his cultivation level is at least at the Dao Integration stage. I have never heard of such talent before. How far do you think he is from transcending tribulation or even becoming an immortal?"
"If we can seize this opportunity to recruit him for our own use, we can at least ensure the prosperity of the Demon Suppression Kingdom for tens of thousands of years."
The prime minister stiffened his neck and sneered:
"Heh, recruit him for your own use? What will happen after you recruit him? How will the Boundless Holy Land explain that?"
"No matter how domineering the Wuji Holy Land is, what can it do to our Demon Suppression Kingdom? If you're not convinced, then fight!"
The old general's words exuded an aura of dominance, emanating the presence of a powerful expert undergoing tribulation.
His words weren't just blind arrogance; if the Demon Suppression Kingdom were to truly go all out and join forces with the Demon Slayer Sect...
With the help of the two Transcending Tribulation cultivators from the Demon Suppression Kingdom, plus the God of Shepherd Zeng.
Even the Wuji Holy Land dared not easily start a war.
Moreover, nominally, all the countries in the Southern Region have a leading elder brother.
That's the Domain Lord's Mansion!
Although this elder brother usually doesn't get involved in things and never easily interferes in the affairs of other countries.
But their strength is truly formidable!
In recent years, the Wuji Holy Land has been unparalleled in its prominence, even subtly overshadowing the Domain Lord's Mansion.
They can act in accordance with principles and always strive to persuade others with reason.
The most important reason is...
It's because of the existence of the Domain Lord's Mansion, this behemoth!
Whether Wuji Holy Land is genuinely sincere, putting on a show, or simply afraid of provoking public anger.
With the strength of the Demon Suppression Kingdom, there is no need to be too afraid of the Boundless Holy Land.
After a heated debate among the ministers, the decision was finally made by King Xiahou Nan.
"General Guan, I'd like to trouble you to make a trip and discuss the marriage alliance with Zeng Mushen."
"When necessary, one can speak out for justice, and even... take action to uphold justice!"
"Your Majesty is wise. The Demon Suppression Kingdom has finally produced such a prodigy. How can we allow outsiders to bully him? This old minister will go to the Demon Slayer Sect immediately."
General Guan glanced triumphantly at the Prime Minister, then laughed heartily and left.
Although some people had different opinions, they had no choice but to remain silent once the king had spoken.
...
Since his last battle with Zeng Mushen, Mo Manlou's injuries have not fully healed yet.
However, he was in a very good mood at the moment. He had naturally heard about the events involving the Boundless Holy Land and the Demon Slayer Sect.
Given the attitude of that Shepherd God towards Chu Mo, he certainly won't compromise this time either.
However, the Wuji Holy Land drew a red line for him, demanding that he hand over the person within three days.
The result is obvious: a major battle is inevitable.
hey-hey……
Thinking of this, he finally couldn't help but burst into excited laughter:
"Facing Wei Qu, who is in the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, let's see how you stop him, Zeng Mu Shen?"
