Previously, Horace was accompanied by a local tyrant, who was a bandit leader within the Paradise World.
This person was well-informed and, with Horus, hunted down many members of the World Serpent.
In fact, this person is a member of the Pleasure Clan, and is probably a pawn that the Pleasure Clan has planted here.
The jubilant crowd intends to get involved in the World Serpent's grand plan.
Their plans began to accelerate, and they had to adapt their strategies to match Shuten-dōji's actions.
Now, Jiang Wang is targeting the World Serpent, and the Joyful Clan is also targeting the World Serpent; their goals are temporarily aligned.
That local tyrant could easily control those hidden members of the World Serpent.
Although he explained that he had arranged for his subordinates to investigate, this was somewhat unrealistic.
His gang of robbers, a few random cats and dogs, were all useless trash at the first level of the Void Breaking Realm.
Tracking those monster-level powerhouses at least at the third level of the Void Breaking Realm from the World Serpent? Isn't that just pure suicide?
Not only would they be easily discovered, but they would also risk their lives. Local bullies wouldn't do something so foolish.
Therefore, this kind of thing simply doesn't make sense. The only explanation is that this local tyrant has a system for gathering intelligence.
This system allows him to easily locate hidden members of the World Serpent.
What do you mean by that? There's no need to think too much; the Pleasure Clan has definitely planted a traitor within World Serpent!
And isn't the person who spoke first, offering to support Jiang Wang's actions and suggesting a possible collaboration the most likely mole?
Jiang Wang couldn't help but take a few more glances, then revealed a strange smile.
"Don't worry, everyone, I won't do anything to harm you. My target is Shuten-dōji, of course."
"As for what you want to do, as long as you don't block my way, I certainly don't care."
"And then there's that 'big goal' we're ultimately pursuing, which of course we'll each rely on our own abilities, right?"
Jiang Wang smiled and began to explain to the people in front of him.
They looked at each other, finding Jiang Wang's words incredibly strange.
Is this person truly a powerful believer in the Holy Light? Is he really a titled knight of the Holy Temple organization?
How could someone utter such treasonous words?
"Simply put, in my personal opinion, I think the world snakes are impossible to eradicate."
Jiang Wang said, spreading his hands.
"Since we can't kill them all anyway, we might as well seek a balance."
“Perhaps the people of other temples would say that you must all be exterminated, but I have a different opinion.”
"Just take care of the most threatening ones."
Jiang Wang said, "Of course, this is a fallacy."
In fact, he was plotting to wipe out all these damned World Serpents.
This is merely a means to win them over, to turn them into a demonic sword that stabs Shuten-dōji in the back.
These seemingly useless words can actually be quite useful sometimes.
“I like what you said; it’s definitely true.”
The person who had spoken up earlier echoed, a cheerful smile appearing on his face.
Although he hid it well, it was just an ordinary smile.
However, Jiang Wang sensed a dangerous aura emanating from this person. Needless to say, this person must be a member of the Pleasure Clan.
A group of madmen who crave to destroy everything; they mostly laugh when they see something funny.
Experienced hunters can find clues in their smiles.
Although Jiang Wang didn't have much contact with the Pleasure Clan, he could still sense the aura of these strange, joyful bastards to some extent.
It was a frenzied aura that disregarded good and evil, order and everything else, and only wanted to burn everything.
This aura was as striking as the sun suddenly rising in the night.
Jiang Wang had already recognized the person in front of him, but he didn't say anything.
Exposing the other party is pointless; the "Joyful Crowd" organization must have planted a lot of people.
Simply put, it's about cockroaches. We found one cockroach, but there are many more lurking in the room.
Having one is like having a whole litter.
Moreover, this guy didn't seem to have any intention of hiding anything from Jiang Wang.
"Ha, what a load of nonsense, but I must say, there is some truth to what you said."
"The World Serpent biting its own tail, in alchemist terminology, represents cycles and eternity."
“If you kill a few hundred of us, a few thousand will come out; it’s all a vicious cycle.”
The people of World Serpent actually agreed with Jiang Wang's words and seemed quite excited.
This person was clearly fooled by Jiang Wang.
"To you, we low-level world snakes are actually not much of a threat."
"The most troublesome ones are indeed those high-level World Serpents; they should be your primary targets."
The people from the World Snake clan laughed.
This statement is essentially an exploration of a proposition within some strange, otherworldly realm.
Is it more important to defeat the "Great Demon King" or to defeat the "Goblins"?
The former is a threat to the world and could lead to its destruction.
While the latter may not be powerful enough to threaten the world, they are still a source of trouble.
For the World Serpent organization, the amount of world essence devoured by those lower-level members is actually not that large.
It is far from reaching the point where it could destroy the world.
However, high-ranking members, such as the humanoid calamity, Shuten-dōji, etc.
They really can bring about the destruction of the world.
Therefore, according to Jiang Wang's statement, solving the biggest problem is more important than solving the smaller problems.
This statement was naturally accepted by the group of low-level World Serpent members present.
After all, if such a plan were to be implemented, they would be the ones who benefit the most.
But the words Jiang Wang uttered were nothing but empty talk to fool them.
If you can win their favor, subsequent negotiations and actions will go more smoothly.
As for Jiang Wang himself, should he address the major evil or the minor evil?
His answer was that both problems needed to be solved.
As for having to choose between two options? There was never such a thing as choosing between two options in his eyes.
If there's no option, then rely on your own strength to create one.
He never plays by the rules.
He's currently deceiving the lower-level members of World Serpent, but once the plan is in progress, he'll ruthlessly eliminate them all.
These big shots were laughing happily, but Jiang Wang seemed to have already foreseen their painful tears later.
Without a doubt, these guys have stepped into the network woven by Jiang Wang.
Furthermore, this part of the network is also linked to the work of the Pleasure Crowd.
Jiang Wang possesses extraordinary wisdom, and although the people of Huanyu are mad, the chefs are all extremely cautious.
The scheme they've set up together is one that the world's snakes simply can't handle.
