Chapter 461: Mediation, the Dispute among the Demon Tribe

The conference begins and we get straight to the point.

The Jianjia Demon King has been in charge for thousands of years and has become very familiar with the matter. Every time he has to deal with a large number of disputes among the demon clans, he is equivalent to the mediation of the Demon Alliance of Luosong Mountains. This is also one of the purposes of all the demons' trip.

"After consultation between the Blue Swallow Demon King and the Salamander Demon King, the waterway sphere of influence was divided into north and south, with the exit of Shangshui River into Dawei Lake as the boundary. They each set up camps and stationed troops there."

"There have been many conflicts between the Tapir Demon King and the Candle Rhino Demon King. After mediation by both sides, they have decided to jointly operate the Glacier Spirit Mine with the Xionggu Glacier as the boundary, and the profits have been privately agreed upon."

"The Peptide Lizard Demon King and the Yellow Weasel Demon King have been fighting for a hundred years, and both sides have suffered heavy losses. Since then, they have signed a truce for sixty years. During the truce, no one is allowed to take the initiative to provoke a dispute."

First of all, there was the conflict between the various demon kings. After the discussion on the podium just now, it was obvious that it had been properly resolved.

Basically, both sides take a step back and choose a compromise method so that neither side suffers a loss.

When one reaches the level of the demon king, it is difficult to completely break off relations from one aspect, so the struggle will eventually lead to peace talks.

Next are the forces at the level of each cave master.

"The Taiyuan Cave Master has been engaged in frequent wars recently, invading the territories of the twelve cave masters, and arbitrarily appointed three of his own demon cave masters. This will not happen again. It is time to stop!"

This is a naked warning, meaning that you should not go too far. Although you are only one step away from becoming the Demon King, you are not the Demon King yet after all, and you cannot overstep your authority.

The Taiyuan Cave Master was very obedient. He walked out of his seat and came to the middle aisle. He knelt down with his head on the ground, indicating that he would not make the same mistake again.

The demon kings on the stage all nodded and did not pursue the matter too much.

However, there were nine cave masters down below who were gritting their teeth in hatred because more than half of their territory had been taken away, and in the end, this was what happened. There was no punishment at all?
They are still lucky, as the other three cave masters have been killed and their nests have been taken over by others.

The Lord of Taiyuan Cave is obviously very ambitious. He wants to integrate resources to seize territory and make material preparations for his breakthrough and condense a demon baby.

"Madam Huashe seduced the Green Clam Cave Master some time ago, and took advantage of him sleeping and stole the Green Clam Pearl, the most precious treasure of the Green Clam Clan. Before leaving, she also cut off the Green Clam Cave Master's life root."

The corners of the mouth of the Jianjia Demon King twitched, as if he had never seen such a bizarre thing in his life for tens of thousands of years. It seemed that even thinking of mediating would be unworthy of the status of a group of demons.

"Madam Huashe, I have received complaints from several cave owners recently. You have used your body to seduce and steal treasures, but why do you insist on cutting off their possessions?"

The flower snake lady in Shuiyou Cave hissed and moaned, as if she was defending herself.

The centipede next to Lin Shan was a long insect, so he acted as the demon tribe's translator and translated what Lady Flower Snake meant to Lin Shan. It roughly said:

"Reporting to the King of Jianjia Monster, these beasts coveted my body, and then pulled up their pants and refused to admit it after playing with me. Of course I have to kill them all and take my compensation!"

As soon as these words were spoken, many cave owners became indignant and condemned the incident unanimously.

It seems that the victims are far more than just the ones the Jianjia Demon King mentioned. Among them, the one who screamed the most fiercely was the toad spirit, and tears even shed from his two toad eyes on the spot!
"Quack quack!"

"Quack~quack~quack~"

“Quack. Quack~!!!”

Lin Shan was completely confused and didn't understand what was meant. The blue raccoon next to him acted as a translator for him because he and the toad were both amphibious species.

"The Green Clam Cave Master is crying that his second brother is not long enough and is actually not capable of mating with Madam Flower Snake. The Green Clam Pearl is a treasure that has been passed down through the Toad Clan for thousands of years and must not be lost!"

The Reed Demon King loudly asked Lady Flower Snake:

"Do you still have the law? You cheat, deceive, and do whatever you want by relying on your beauty. Do you really think my sword is not sharp?"

Mrs. Flower Snake was about to cry and sobbed.

"Hissssssssssssssssss~"

Tian Wu whispered to Lin Shan:

"Madam Huashe said that the Green Clam Cave Master had abused her and even left her body fluids. She had anticipated today's situation, so she had the evidence she had collected."

The master of Qingha Cave was furious and jumped three feet high!

"Quack gua gua~ gua gua gua~"

Lan Li quietly translated to Lin Shan:

"The owner of the Green Clam Cave said that it was set up. The evidence in the hands of the Flower Snake Lady was not produced during the mating process, but was produced in advance by the mouth."

Lin Shan was shocked: "???"

All the demons were shocked and their jaws dropped: "!!!"

The demon kings on the stage appeared calm on the surface, but they were all shouting “oh shit” in their hearts!
Are the cave owners out there playing so wildly now?
You dare to put your stuff into the triangular venomous snake mouth of Lady Flower Snake? Do you want to live?
But to be honest, the snake tongue in Lady Flower Snake's mouth kept moving back and forth, which was too seductive in the eyes of the demons, and few could resist the temptation.

Lin Shan felt cold all over. As a human, he really couldn't understand the aesthetic taste of the demon race.

You deserve it, second brother, for falling into the mouth of a poisonous snake!
The sounds of "hissing" and "quacking" were heard constantly on the field. The two cave masters argued in the hall, but neither of them could convince the other.

This made Tian Wu and Lan Li, who were translating on the side, very tired!
Finally, the Reed Demon King slammed the table.

"enough!"

The audience suddenly became quiet, and all the demons looked over.

"Madam Huashe, you have severed the life roots of so many cave masters and stolen so many treasures. You have already aroused public anger. I now order you to return all the treasures and apologize to the cave masters on the spot. This matter will end here!"

"Hissssss~"

"Hmm? Are you questioning what the king said?"

"sizzle"

Seeing that the Demon King was serious, Lady Flower Snake had no choice but to give up her coquettish behavior and rolled around, and obediently returned all the treasures and apologized to everyone one by one.

The Reed Demon King then faced the Toad Spirit and other victims and comforted them:

"The flower snake has realized its mistake, and the dispute has come to an end. You were blinded by lust in the first place, and now that the root of your troubles has been cut off, it is not a bad thing."

"quack quack"

The toad spirit and other monsters did not dare to question the authority of the monster king in public and had to agree with tears.

Lin Shan was greatly surprised. It was the first time he had witnessed a demon race conference. It turned out to be like this. He couldn't help but marvel at it.

It’s not over yet.

The Jianjia Demon King still needs to be trained, as many things have accumulated in the Luosong Mountains over the past hundreds of years!
"Master of the Gray Marten Cave, you poisoned all the creatures in the river to death because your offspring drowned in the brine and was swallowed by a water beast. Do you know your crime?"

A prison van was pushed in from the bottom of the stairs, with a mink inside. The mink was curled up there listlessly, and it was obvious that it was tied up rather than invited.

When the Gray Marten Cave Master saw that he had finally seen the Demon King, he quickly got up and shouted loudly, knocking on the prison cart "bang bang bang" non-stop.

"Coo, coo, coo~"

When the red tapir saw that it was finally his turn, he quickly translated for Lin Shan, Ji Ge and the others:
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. Although I was very angry at the water beasts at that time, I did not have the courage to poison the entire river. It was obviously Young Master Salamander who ordered me to do so."

A demon at the table opposite them immediately slammed the table and stood up, pointing at the Gray Marten Cave Master and cursing.

"You did something wrong yourself, why did you frame me? Brine is the water area under the jurisdiction of my father, why would I do such a thankless task?"

All the monsters present nodded in agreement. There was really no reason for the young master Salamander to destroy his own waters.

The Gray Marten Cave Master screamed in panic, shouting at the top of his lungs in the prison van.

"Gugugugu, gugugugu~" The red tapir continued to translate: "It's because you discovered that there is a treasure under that water area. It's a matter of great importance and you want to keep it all for yourself, so you poisoned all the water beasts in the area. I followed orders to cover for you, but you turned your back on me and refused to acknowledge me."

"Um???"

Not only did Lin Shan feel that something was not right, the demon kings on the stage also became interested.

What kind of treasure is it that would require the young master of the demon clan to kill demons and silence them, and even poison an entire river?
The young master of the Salamander had an unpleasant expression on his face, but he was well-mannered and did not lose his temper. Instead, he insisted that he was being framed and secretly reminded the master of the Gray Marten Cave to think it over before speaking.

The demon kings all asked what the treasure was.

The Gray Marten Cave Master was still hesitant at first. He was afraid that he would lose his value after telling the truth, so he wondered whether he should bargain to save his life.

Unexpectedly, a blue light suddenly shot out from the stage, piercing through the cage at lightning speed!
"Goo~Goo~"

The Gray Marten Cave Master wailed twice, struggled a bit and then died. Only then did everyone realize that the blue light on his body was just a thorn.

"Salamander King, what are you doing?"

All the demon kings were shocked and looked at the Salamander Demon King who had just retracted his hand. It was too unruly for him to kill people so openly in the demon assembly!

The Salamander Demon King turned around calmly and said just one sentence casually.

"This monster is poisoning the waters under my command, and its influence is terrible. We must kill it with thunder and lightning to serve as a warning to others!"

When all the monsters on the field heard this, they all trembled and remained silent.

The demon kings looked at each other and had already guessed in their hearts that there might be some secrets hidden that were unknown to other demons, so they killed the demons to silence them.

However, before we could confirm what it was, we couldn't intervene, so we didn't say much and just acquiesced to the actions of the Salamander King.

The young master of the Salamander also breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in his seat as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

Several young masters nearby who were also second-generation demons tried to inquire about the news, but were evaded one by one. It can be seen that the matter was of great importance.

The incident passed quickly and became an episode.

The Reed Demon King continued to call out names, judging and mediating one by one to maintain order in the Luosong Mountains.

Many cave masters were terrified, fearing that they would be targeted. If they were targeted, they would quickly come out and admit their mistakes. After the Demon King's attack just now, they were basically all scared.

If you get killed on the spot, there will be no place to seek justice.

It was almost dusk when it was finally the last table's turn.

"Lord Bromine, why are you slaughtering the black crab clan? Over the past few centuries, the black crab clans in the Luosong Mountains have been exterminated several times, seriously affecting the water quality of rivers and the food chain. Many demon clans that feed on them have come to me to protest!"

The black scorpion is a common species on the large rivers and riverbanks of the Luosong Mountains. It acts as a river scavenger and is also a source of food for many birds and animals.

The monster clan doesn't take the food chain very seriously, they will eat another if one isn't enough. But sometimes if the impact is too great, the monster kings still have to intervene.

Lord Bromineworm drank the jar of wine nonchalantly and just responded twice to show that he understood. He was completely different from those cave masters who were respectful before.

"I am talking to you, what is your attitude?"

The Jianjia Demon King spoke in a bad tone. It was the first time that the demons under him dared to neglect him like this.

Unexpectedly, the Bromine Lord could actually speak!
"The Black Demon Crab Clan and my Bromine Insect Clan are originally in a competitive relationship. All their previous positions can be completely replaced by my clan, so Lord Demon King, please don't worry about it."

When these words were spoken, all the monsters were shocked!
There really are people who are not afraid of death and dare to challenge the Demon King?

Moreover, when did the Bromine Worm Lord refine the transverse bone of the larynx? Doesn't that mean that it is only half a step away from the Nascent Soul stage?

The Reed Demon King looked it up and down and said "good, good, good" three times. Everyone could hear the anger in the old monster.

“Do you think you can challenge me just because you are about to break through the Nascent Soul stage? Not to mention that you are not a demon king yet, even if you are, you have to do whatever I say!”

The authority of the veteran demon king cannot be challenged. If anyone dares to contradict him, no one dares to say anything even if they will be killed on the spot.

The entire floating island began to shake, and crisp tender buds began to emerge under the square, and all the plant monsters looked on with eager eyes.

The bromine lord sat at the table calmly, eating and drinking, calmly and composedly.

"Master Demon King, calm down. I ordered the killing of the Black Demon Crab clan for the sake of the clan. As a stumbling block to the reproduction of the Zerg clan, either it or me."

"Even if you kill this insect body of mine today, it won't affect my real body far away in the cracks in the ground. Why bother doing that?"

"As for mediation, I cannot accept it."

The monsters looked at each other in bewilderment. They had heard a long time ago that Lord Bromine Worm had the innate ability to burrow into the ground and hide in the cracks of the ground. Normally, even the Monster King could not do anything to him.

But this is a floating island, surrounded by lakes, and the territory of the Reed Demon King. If it comes, it will not be able to escape even if it has wings.

But who knew that the enemy only sent one clone, while the real body was hiding in the old nest, so the demon king could not control it.

The Jianjia Demon King had an unsightly expression and his hands were slightly clenched. He had lived for so long and had not felt provoked for a long time.

"good very good."

Several demon kings nearby also noticed that the atmosphere was not right and stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Brother Jianjia, why bother with this youngster? Since it refuses to obey our mediation, let it suffer the consequences in the future."

"That's right. This monster has never been very sociable. It always does what it wants and often doesn't listen to us. Just ignore it."

"Although the black crabs were once huge in number, their racial talent and upper limit were too low, and they had little potential. It doesn't really matter if they are exterminated."

"Besides, Lord Bromineworm is a sharp knife. He can be used to do our dirty work and eliminate dissidents. Let's spare his life for now."

These demon kings knew that they could not do anything to Lord Bromine Worm, so they simply spoke up to give the Jianjia Demon King a way out, thus making the matter less of a big deal and less of a small matter.

At the same time, he rebuked the audience:

"Lord Bromine, you are so disrespectful. Why don't you apologize to the Jianjia Demon King?"

The bromine worm lord wiped his mouth, stood up and bent down symbolically. Anyone could see that he was being perfunctory.

"Please don't blame me, King Jianjia. I was not polite just now. I hope you can forgive me."

"Humph!"

The Reed Demon King snorted coldly and said no more. He knew that it was useless to kill this insect body to vent his anger, so he hastily ended the mediation process of this demon conference.

Lin Shan and the other monsters on the field kept their heads down the whole time, not daring to look at the Monster King's defeated look. Everyone was shocked at the courage of the Monster Clan's Jindan Stage lord in confronting the Monster King, and they secretly admired him.

But on the surface, he pretended to be deaf and dumb, and kept out of it.

Next, the conference will enter the second process, which is the banquet and dance stage.

The plant and tree spirits below had been waiting for a long time, but before they could even get a chance to go on stage, there was suddenly a commotion outside.

From far away you could hear a deep voice shouting.

"I have been waiting outside the lake for three days. When will the nobles allow me to meet the Monster King?"

"The war in the Song Dynasty has reached a fever pitch and we can't afford to delay even a moment. Please don't push me!"

"I am Yumuzi, a true disciple of the Zixiao Sect of the human race. I beg to see His Majesty the Demon King!"
