"Today, anyone who dares to harm a human in front of me will be killed!"
Gu Liyan's cold words were filled with a powerful killing intent, causing all the demons present to tremble.
Chanyu looked at Gu Liyan's tall and straight back with a shy expression, her heart filled with joy.
"Hmph! You've got some nerve! Standing on the side of humans right in front of the Eight Demon Kings!" The middle-aged man, his muscles bulging, slammed his fist on the tea table beside him, shattering it. He coldly stared at Gu Liyan. "You are not worthy of being a demon!"
Sensing the domineering and dangerous aura emanating from this person, Gu Liyan had already guessed his identity—a tiger demon!
He instinctively shielded Chanyu behind him and said gently, "Don't leave my vicinity."
Chanyu nodded shyly, "Mmm."
Upon seeing this, Mei Meier hurriedly said, "Tiger King, please don't be angry. Meier's manor deals with humans anyway, so it's not surprising that there are humans here. Please spare their lives for my sake."
"Of course I, Hu Batian, will give face to Master Mei. Humans can be spared, but this brat has set rules for the demon race on his own, and he must pay the price!" With that, he looked at Gu Liyan coldly and said, "Boy, no matter where you come from, today you must—leave your limbs!"
Gu Liyan squinted at Hu Batian and sneered, "Tiger King, which four limbs do you want? The four limbs I'm residing in your body? Or do you want me to give you someone else's limbs?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Batian suddenly stood up. "You little demon, how dare you play tricks on me!"
"Hmph, you've picked the wrong person if you want me to bow down!" Gu Liyan sneered.
Hu Batian's eyes flashed with ferocity as he roared and pounced directly at Gu Liyan.
"Aww—"
Gu Liyan gently pushed Chanyu away, removing her from the danger zone, and went straight to face Hu Batian.
"This guy actually dares to challenge the Tiger King!" Mei Meier watched the two fight and actually became worried about Gu Liyan.
The surrounding space was too small to make any moves, and Gu Liyan was suppressed by Hu Batian for a time. Seeing this, Gu Liyan gritted his teeth and headed straight for the mountain outside Plum Manor. Before leaving, he cursed at Hu Batian, "You little bastard, if you have the guts, come with me!"
Hu Batian, enraged and humiliated, shouted, "Don't run!"
The two moved their fighting position outside the manor, and Mei Meier couldn't help but say to the other demon kings, "It seems we can only go outside to see the outcome."
The demons followed closely behind, while Mei Meier's men tied up Chanyu, who was trying to escape, and brought her to the scene as well.
Gu Liyan and Hu Batian's palms collided, and both of them were instantly forced back.
Hu Batian stared at Gu Liyan in shock, his heart filled with astonishment: This guy's strength is rising steadily, and he has actually reached a level comparable to mine. I really underestimated him!
Gu Liyan flicked his sleeves, which were covered in dust from the recent battle. Seeing Hu Batian looking him over, he couldn't help but laugh and say, "What? Scared?"
"Hmph, not bad strength, but still not enough experience!" Hu Batian put his hands behind his back, unaware that he was already trembling from the force of Gu Liyan's attack.
Gu Liyan knew from his actions that his power had reached its limit, so she smiled slightly and said, "As long as you accept my contract, I will no longer pursue your rudeness towards me!"
Hu Batian sneered, "Accept those three unreasonable treaties you proposed with the human race? Don't dream! You should think about the human race you claim to protect!"
Gu Liyan was stunned. He turned around and looked at the demons watching the battle, only to find Chanyu bound hand and foot and trampled under Mei Meier's feet. "This..."
"I'm really sorry, I let you play with this girl all night, and now I want to take her back," Mei Meier said with a smile.
"Waaaah—" Chanyu's hands and feet were tied up, and a towel was stuffed into her mouth, so she could not speak and could only silently shed tears of grievance.
Seeing this, Gu Liyan's face darkened and he said coldly, "Master Mei, please release her, otherwise I might become even more violent!"
Mei Meier smiled charmingly, "My lord, now that I know you are the powerful Demon King, I feel that the demon race no longer needs to cause conflict with the human race..."
Gu Liyan frowned, not understanding her meaning, and then heard her continue speaking:
“Today, all the demon kings from all directions have gathered here. We can choose the strongest demon king to unify the demon race and then willingly submit to his command. I think this is not a bad thing. I just don’t know if you demon kings agree?” Mei Meier said.
"Yes, yes, that's right!"
"I have no objection!"
"What Master Mei desires is exactly what we have been hoping for!"
The demons nodded in agreement.
Gu Liyan raised an eyebrow. In the end, Mei Meier just wanted to elect a king to unify the demon race!
If that's the case, it's really not a bad thing!
Gu Liyan is determined to claim the title of the strongest demon king!
"Very well! The victor is king, the loser is villain. Today, I, Gu Liyan, will become the king of all of you!" Gu Liyan said, scanning all the demon kings from different races.
Chanyu gazed into Gu Liyan's clear purple eyes, momentarily captivated...

Human Army Camp at the Foot of Meizhuang Mountain
A soldier hurried into the barracks and reported, "General! Miss Chanyu has not been found."
"Where did this girl go?" Deng Jiugong asked with a worried expression, looking at the sand table in thought. "Could it be that this girl went up the mountain to Plum Manor?"
"General, I think Miss Chanyu, knowing that our mission is to investigate whether there are any demons in Plum Manor, may have already gone ahead without being able to wait any longer," the strategist Li Heng hurriedly said.
"That girl is so reckless! Gather the troops immediately and attack Plum Manor!"
