Yang Sheng answered both questions very well, neither servile nor arrogant, maintaining his own composure while also being reasonable and well-founded, without being aggressive.
Finally, Gui Qianzu coughed and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Yang of the Demon Extermination Alliance, this old man has one last question to ask."
Previously, Bei Zhen and Bai Jie stated that your purpose in attacking Pudu Temple was to slay the Youquan Blood Demon, but did you know that the Youquan Blood Demon is the leader of the demon race in my Youdu Mountain Range?
Upon hearing this, the gazes of the demons present towards Yang Sheng immediately turned hostile.
The reputation of the Blood Demon of the Nether Spring is very well-known in the Nether Capital Mountains. Some demons even know from birth that the Blood Demon of the Nether Spring is the leader of their demon race in the Nether Capital Mountains.
Now Yang Sheng says he wants to kill the Blood Demon of the Nether Spring, which is tantamount to saying he wants to storm Pudu Temple and kill their leader as well. It would be strange if they gave Yang Sheng a good look.
Yang Sheng said in a deep voice: "That's right, the Blood Demon of the Nether Spring must die!"
He devoured over 100,000 people from the Yan Kingdom, and many demons from the Youdu Mountains also perished at his hands. Surely many of your relatives, friends, and family members have also died at the hands of the Youquan Blood Demon?
All the demons present fell silent.
The demons of the Youdu Mountains were also victims of that riot. Some demon clans that were too close to the Blood Tomb were completely wiped out, with not a single one escaping.
Gui Qianzu sighed, "Although the Youquan Blood Demon is arrogant and irritable, he won't kill people for no reason."
There's definitely something wrong with this. The monks of Pudu Temple did something that provoked the Blood Demon of the Netherworld, causing him to go on a killing spree.
Yang Sheng laughed and said, "You've lived for tens of thousands of years, so you should know that the principles of this world are not that complicated. It's nothing more than paying for a life if you kill someone and repaying a debt if you owe a debt."
With so many lives on Youquan Blood Demon's body, the people of Yan Kingdom want him dead, and some of the demons in Youdu Mountain Range also want him dead.
Even if he were still lucid, let alone now that he's completely gone mad, he would still be doomed.
Moreover, you keep saying that Youquan Blood Demon is the leader of the demon race in your Youdu Mountains, but does he deserve the title of leader?
What did he do for your Youdu Mountains, and what did you do for the Youquan Blood Demon?
Please don't take offense at my bluntness, but your veneration of the Blood Demon of the Nether Spring as the leader of the demon race in the Netherworld Mountains is nothing more than a case of "borrowing the tiger's power."
The expressions of the many demons present changed immediately, and some of the more hot-tempered demons were even about to make a move.
A powerful demon with a white tiger's head roared, "Boy, you're courting death! You're just a fox borrowing the tiger's might. Whose might do we need to borrow?"
"quiet!"
Gui Qianzu paused, holding his broken cane. The immense force shook the earth, causing a massive upheaval, and no other demon dared to interrupt.
Turning around, Turtle Ancestor looked at Yang Sheng and said calmly, "You're right. These demons of my Youdu Mountain Range are just taking advantage of the situation."
We three old folks are all too old and incapable to control outsiders, so we can only rely on the power of the Netherworld Blood Demon.
Even if it's a case of borrowing power from a powerful enemy, we've relied on the might of the Netherworld Blood Demon for so many years, and now we're going to turn around and kill our own leader? The demon race of the Netherworld Mountains can't do such a thing; otherwise, wouldn't we be ridiculed by outsiders?"
Yang Sheng shook his head and said, "But if we don't kill them, the demons of your Youdu Mountains will face not just ridicule, but a real crisis."
Previously, the reputation of the demon race in the Youdu Mountains was quite good; at least I had never heard of any of you leaving the Youdu Mountains to plunder the people of Yan.
However, the Blood Demon of the Nether Spring devoured over 100,000 people. If you do not sever ties with the Blood Demon of the Nether Spring, this blood debt will be attributed to you.
At that time, outsiders will think that the entire Youdu Mountain Range is infested with man-eating demons. You may face attacks from the immortal cultivation sects, as well as the extermination of the demon-slaying alliance.
Even if you are not afraid, can you guarantee that your own kind will not continue to die during this process?
Is it worth it for a monster that has completely lost its mind and gone mad?
Are you threatening us?
Xiang Wentian glared at Yang Sheng, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
Yang Sheng shook his head and said, "It's not a threat, I'm just stating a likely fact."
"Old Master Turtle has lived this long; he should know this."
The demons remained silent.
If Yang Sheng promises them any benefits, or makes any alarmist statements, they will definitely retaliate verbally.
But now, Yang Sheng was simply explaining the situation to the demons of Youdu Mountain Range based on the facts, and they didn't know what to say.
The tiger demon who had spoken earlier sneered, "You've said so much, but do you even have the strength to deal with Pudu Temple?"
Don't let us demons be used as cannon fodder in the end!
The other demons present echoed this sentiment, simply because they didn't trust Yang Sheng.
There are already many conflicts between the demon race and the human race, and the fact that Yang Sheng is the one who sent the sword makes the demon race even more wary.
But now that Yang Sheng says he wants to join forces with their demon race, it's no wonder they're so wary.
Gui Qianzu paused on his cane and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Yang, you should know that in the cultivation world of the Nine Provinces, whether it is the demon race or the human race, everyone only cares about four words: strength is the most important!"
Don't blame us for not trusting you; you need to demonstrate the strength that will convince us first.
"Long Live Tiger is a rising star among the younger generation of demons in the Youdu Mountains. Only if you can subdue him will you possess the strength to command the respect of all demons in the Youdu Mountains."
