Chapter 100

==================

Demonic Realm.

The Canaan and Canglang tribes are somewhat special in the Demon Realm. The great demons that ruled these two tribes have been purged once by the Demon Lord. Although they appear to have no one in charge now, all demons have tacitly acknowledged that this belongs to Ning Shen's sphere of influence.

This is the rule in the Demon Realm: whoever wins is the king.

However, the special nature of the Demon Lord, who is powerful but does not care about anything, means that his status in the Demon Realm is difficult to determine.

Apart from the Canaan and Canglang tribes, the Demon Lord has almost no other prestige in the Demon Realm, otherwise they would not have failed to involve the Demon Lord in their plan to take over the cultivation world.

...They wanted to pull Ning Chen in, but the problem was that they had no way of knowing whether Ning Chen would give in to the great demons who had proposed this, or whether he would really lead them to take over the world of cultivation.

Judging from the current situation, the demons unanimously believed that the possibility of the former was far greater than the latter, so they gave up the idea of ​​dragging Ning Chen into the water.

All demons subconsciously believe that:

Even if the Demon Lord doesn't care, even if the Demon Lord has a good relationship with the Human Saint, demon blood runs in his veins, so he shouldn't turn against them for the Human Saint.

If the human race's Holy Son wants you to bring the person to the Demon Palace, that will be enough. The Demon Lord should not have the time to care about other humans.

However, it turns out that they were only right about one thing.

The range of the omen demon soldiers covered the entire demon realm, and Canaan and Canglang were not spared.

The strength of the two tribes, Canaan and Canglang, is at the middle and back level in the Demon Realm. The root cause is that they were severely exploited before, and a large number of young and strong demons were lost, so naturally their strength lags behind.

However, ever since the Demon Lord defeated the demons that they had previously ruled, they had a chance to recuperate, and they did not lower their demands even a little bit because of the Demon Lord's indulgence. Instead, their requirements for the demons in the tribe who still had fighting power became more stringent. Even the young demons had to practice hard from a young age.

Unconsciously, their overall strength and level of quality have improved significantly, and the demons of the Demon Army have naturally set their sights on this place.

The people of Canaan and the Canglang tribe did not refuse, but they did not agree either. They insisted that their lives belonged to the Demon Lord and they did not need to ask for his opinion.

When Ning Chen arrived, he happened to see the demons who came to recruit him saying impatiently: "Attacking the cultivation world is a big event for the demon world. When the spiritual veins and resources are taken, we will all share them equally. Now that we have to contribute, you are just like your demon lord who does nothing but walk away. Isn't that unreasonable?"

Ning Chensheng laughed when he heard it: "That's not right, tell me again."

"..." The demon heard the sound and was surprised to find Ning Chen standing behind him. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat and said, "...Master Demon."

Ning Chen patted A Kui on the shoulder and ordered A Kui to drive everyone back to the tribe. He said casually: "The Canaan and Canglang tribes will not participate in any wars of conquest."

The demon who came to recruit them bit his lip and said unwillingly: "... Lord Demon, you are the Supreme. Even if you stay out of it and don't consider the demons, don't stop us from making plans for ourselves..."

Ning Chen paused for a moment, looked over with cold eyes, and said coldly: "I will only say this once, if you want to take advantage of the decline of the human race to kill us all, it is tantamount to seeking death. Not allowing you to participate in any war is for your consideration."

“…”

The leading demon who came to recruit them said in disbelief: "The human race drove us to the edge of the continent, to the barren demonic territory, and they occupied the resource-rich central part of the continent. We just want to fight back and take back our share, how can we be courting death?"

The leading demon became more and more excited as he spoke: "The environment in the Demon Realm is harsh, and the resources there are much scarcer than those in the human territory. We just want to get some resources from them, how can we be looking for death?!"

Ning Chen was getting impatient: "Will you die if you don't fight? You can obviously practice normally, but you have to think about stealing other people's spiritual veins every day and use all kinds of evil magic to practice quickly. If you don't want to die, who else will? Do you know that you will have to bear the consequences of abusing evil magic? Do you know how serious the consequences of polluting spiritual veins and destroying the laws of heaven and earth are?"

The environment of the Demon Realm is harsh, and rare spiritual herbs cannot grow there, but correspondingly, the supply of Demonic Bloodlines in the Demon Realm is not scarce at all, and the physical fitness of the Demons is generally stronger than that of humans. The Demons divide their talents and abilities based on the purity of their bloodlines, and the speed of cultivation of the Demons is much faster than that of humans.

Why doesn't he talk about these advantages?

Every time the demons go on an expedition, it consumes a huge amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources. Not only do the people in their own demon realm suffer heavy losses, but the things they can get from the human territory are pitifully few.

The demons cannot use the magical herbs of heaven and earth, so they can be exchanged for the least valuable magic coins. Only spiritual veins and captives are useful to them. After the former is contaminated by demonic energy, it is equivalent to having an extra magic vein. The latter... are usually used by the demons to feed their evil spells, and they will not leave any survivors.

This wild and indifferent way of fighting that has been passed down from ancient times has always been criticized. However, in the eyes of the demons who are keen on killing and fighting and only care about the immediate interests, it is nothing to be afraid of.

There is nothing to be afraid of about the theory of cause and effect. As long as they don't die, there is no need to atone for it.

The grudges between the two races accumulated little by little. Revenge will only accumulate more hatred. Moreover, if they plunder resources by polluting the spiritual veins and abusing evil magic, they will sooner or later suffer severe retribution, and even worse, it may even lead to the disaster of the entire race.

The best way to get along now is to play to their respective strengths and recuperate. The two races have been fighting for so many years, but neither has killed the other. There is also a secluded demon race next to them. The Three Realms have formed a delicate ecosystem. If one of the parties is killed, the balance of this ecosystem will be destroyed. By then, even if the demon race can completely plunder and kill the human race, there may still be a demon race watching them covetously from behind. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Recruiting and refusing to fight and conquer is the best way for the current demons. If these demons refuse to listen even if you kill them, don't blame Ning Chen for being rude.

Ning Chen raised his chin towards the direction of the Jianan tribe and snorted coldly: "Is Jianan dead? Is Canglang dead? Do you have so few magic soldiers that you still need my two tribes full of old, weak and sick people?"

Ning Chen didn't want to get involved with the disobedient demons anymore, so he said coldly without even turning his head: "If you are greedy, just say it. No one will laugh at you. Don't you even look at whether the demons you are looking for are willing to risk their lives to conquer others, or stay safe and secure with their families."

It was thanks to Ning Chen, the Demon Lord, that he followed the rules, otherwise he would have been killed when he questioned himself.

And let this guy talk so much nonsense.

“…”

The leading demon who came to recruit turned red in the face.

He stammered for a long time, but could not refute a word. After a moment, the leader of the demons said disappointedly: "So, Your Majesty, you still have selfish feelings towards the Holy Son of the Human Race, so you don't want to attack the cultivation world, right?"

A Kui was fed up with listening: "Your Excellency just said so much, I wonder if you didn't listen to a word of it?"

The leading demon said, "I say, what if the demons don't kill them all and pollute the spirit veins, and start a war for the resources of the human world?"

Ning Chen first said frankly: "Yes, that's right, I have selfish feelings towards Xie Tingyun, so I don't want him to be sad. Do you have a problem?"

That's true, it's a fact, and Ning Chen has no reason to deny it.

Just because he likes fighting doesn't mean he likes this kind of large-scale conquest. If it weren't for a desperate fight between a trapped beast and a life-and-death struggle, no matter how powerful or humble it is, it would have to be stopped.

Then he continued, "If you don't want the spiritual veins, and don't kill them all and use the captives to feed the evil magic, then why are you going to war? Can't you just fight with them for resources and treasures? If you go to the heavenly secret realm, the treasures you get by your own ability are yours. The human race didn't say that you, a demon, are not allowed to touch the treasures of the human race, right?"

Ning Chen still remembered that when he went to the Nuwa Secret Realm, the group of righteous monks did not point at his nose and say that you demons were not worthy of entering.

The probability of finding high-level treasures in naturally formed places such as secret realms and sword tombs is relatively high, and most of them are high-level precious materials and treasures. These things are not like elixirs and herbs that are only used by humans, so they are more precious and more likely to be snatched.

The only obstacle is that when the demons appear in the human territory, everyone will chase them down like rats crossing the street.

But aren’t humans treated the same when they come to the Demon Realm? No one should despise anyone else.

“…”

The leading demon felt that he had attained enlightenment.

A voice suddenly came from behind the leading demon: "What if I insist on recruiting them?"

Ning Shen raised his eyes and looked.

The demon was wearing noble attire with a bright red magic pattern on his forehead.

After taking a look at his cultivation level, he is actually a great demon in the Mahayana stage.

Ning Chen smiled.

He admitted that he finally understood why Mr. Xie Tingyun said he was stupid.

Ning Chen originally thought that the demons were recruiting soldiers to attack him because they were stupid and had no foresight. They dared to provoke him in such an obvious Demon Lord's territory.

Ning Chen had just scolded them for their interest in his two tribes which were full of old, weak and sick people. It turned out that they were not looking to recruit demon soldiers, they were simply in need of these young people who had not yet fully grown up.

The real purpose of this demon was to test his attitude, to challenge his authority as the Demon Lord, to invite him to a duel, and to try to snatch the power of the Supreme Position from him.

...Although Ning Chen didn't feel that he had any power.

The Mahayana demon said meaningfully: "If I win, they... will be mine."

Ning Chen shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Wait a moment."

Afterwards, Ning Chen raised his hand and sent a message, saying, "I met that blind guy. I'll be home later. Wait for me for dinner."
