Refuse to trample on the pride of heaven

One of the seals is the cliff where Min Xiao was reborn in the body of Jiang Jinfeng.

Outside the deep cave, it is now surrounded by demons of all shapes and sizes.

The demonic energy surged fiercely, like a dark cloud pressing down on the area, and at the head were several demon lords with particularly fierce and violent auras.

Min Xiao, also known as the Deceitful Demon, stood in front of the demons. Although he still maintained that barely handsome human appearance, he usually had a seemingly calm smile on the corner of his lips, but there was impatience and calculation in his eyes.

The demonic energy around him is not as outward-looking as that of other demon lords, but rather inward-looking and profound, making him even more treacherous and unpredictable. He is good at manipulating people's minds, setting up illusions, and weaving invisible webs with just his words.

Beside him stood a demon lord, with an extremely large physique, almost as big as a mountain, his whole body covered with hard scales as dark as black iron, his muscles bulging and knotted, containing explosive power, his limbs as thick as temple pillars, his sharp claws sticking out, shining coldly, and the ground trembled slightly with just a casual step. He was the power demon known for his pure violence.

On the other side, a dark shadow was like smoke and fog, its figure was erratic, and only the human outline could be vaguely made out, but it seemed as if it would melt into the wind at any time.

It moved silently, with only a pair of narrow, dark green eyes flashing with a cold light like a venomous snake, locking its prey tightly. It was a shadow demon who was skilled in assassinations and surprise attacks.

There was also a demon lord, with endless black and purple evil flames surrounding his body. As the flames jumped, countless painful faces seemed to disappear and be reborn.

Wherever it stood, the rocks melted silently, the air twisted, and it emitted a breath of heat and destruction that burned everything. This was the fire demon that controlled the devil's flames.

There are also swamp demons whose body surface constantly oozes dirty mucus and emits a strong corrosive smell; there are also bewitching demons with hundreds of compound eyes that spy in all directions and have extremely strong mental power... All the demons have revealed their hideous true appearance, with great demonic power and murderous aura, which is in sharp contrast to Min Xiao in human form.

This group of demon lords had already been restless and were very impatient with Min Xiao, who looked like a human but spoke in human terms.

This fellow had only broken the seal a few days earlier, but he began to ridicule them as "country bumpkins", accusing them of not understanding the rules of the human world, not having any strategy, and only knowing how to act recklessly.

He is full of so-called "Western ink" and uses some human clichés, but he has not achieved any special achievements.

If it weren't for the fact that even if they were all together, it would be difficult for one of them to be good at planning, so why would they allow him to chatter and make decisions here?

In their view, with the Demonic Gate now open and their army approaching, the Demonic Clan has the best of both worlds. The human race in the cultivation world, who always consider themselves superior, are actually engaged in endless internal strife. What powerful tactics can they use? Why are they so hesitant and cautious?

Some demon lords couldn't hold back and uttered harsh taunts, "You've been out for so long, making such a big splash, yet how come you haven't even dealt with that young human called Liu Jiqian? You've allowed him to roam free until now, and instead, our own people have suffered heavy losses!"

The other Demon Lord immediately echoed in a muffled voice, his voice like the friction of metal and stone. "Not only that! Even the precious remaining soul of the Demon Lord is said to have been lost in your scheme? Truly... Hey, what's that saying about the human race? They're not good enough to accomplish anything, but they're more likely to cause trouble!"

"It's more than just a disaster. It's simply a waste of the demon clan's cultivation and the opportunity to come out first!" Another demon lord added with a sneer, causing several demon lords around him to burst into laughter, full of contempt and gloating.

The noisy and mocking voices of the demons echoed in the valley. Min Xiao's face was as gloomy as water, and the pretended calmness in his eyes finally shattered, with a hint of viciousness flashing across his eyes.

Facing the ridicule of the demon lords, the pretended calmness in Min Xiao's eyes completely disappeared, and his hostility rose like a substance.

He suddenly uttered a sharp and piercing sneer. His voice was not loud, but it was filled with extreme contempt, instantly drowning out the laughter around him.

"Idiots!" he spat, his humanoid face slightly twisted with rage, appearing even more sinister. "A bunch of uncivilized creatures who only know how to swing their claws and smell blood! How dare you question me here?"

Several demon lords who were indeed uncivilized: “???” Why were they still attacking with their demon bodies?

Min Xiao's gaze was like a poisoned ice spike, sweeping over the massive form of the Power Demon, the elusive shadows of the Shadow Demon, and the pulsing evil flames of the Flame Demon. "What do you know? Just because you can see only the inch of land before you and smell the blood, you think victory is assured? If the human race were truly as vulnerable as you think, why would we have been suppressed and sealed until now?"

Isn't that because they have a Half-Step Immortal? Some demons wanted to refute, but saw Min Xiao take a step forward. Although his figure was far less than that of the powerful demon, his imposing aura made several demon lords subconsciously restrain their laughter and stop what they wanted to say.

"Killing Liu Jiqian?" Min Xiao sneered. "How difficult is that? A common man's wrath will only cause blood to splatter five steps away! But what happens after you kill him? Will you invite the mad revenge of that immortal old man from the Wenxian Sect, draw the human race into a common hatred, and drag our forces, which have not yet established a firm foothold, into a quagmire of attrition? Is this the 'victory' you seek?"

His voice suddenly rose, filled with a sneer that bordered on gnashing teeth. "As for the Demon Lord's remnant soul? That was a test! A trial! If you can't even withstand this little setback, if you can't even endure it temporarily, how can you be worthy of returning to this world and ruling the universe?"

"You only know how to use brute force, but do you know the treacherous nature of the human heart? What does division and disintegration mean? What does it mean to defeat the enemy without fighting?" Min Xiao opened his arms, as if embracing an invisible chessboard. "We don't want temporary gains or losses, nor the pleasure of killing one or two geniuses of the human race! What we want is to turn these vast mountains and rivers into ink. We want to sever the foundation of their inheritance and build our demonic land. We want them to collapse from within, to willingly kneel at our feet and offer their destiny and souls to us!"

The demons felt awe-inspiring after hearing these words.

Min Xiao pointed in the distance, asking about the direction of the Immortal Sect. His tone became cold and full of temptation: "You idiots, you only care about swallowing the bait, but you can't see the fishing rod and line behind it, and you can't see the fisherman's true goal!"

"As for success, failure, merits, and demerits," Min Xiao snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping across the demon lords with an arrogant look. "Once we have conquered the world of cultivation, public opinion will have its say! It's not up to you, brawny bastards, to make noises here!"

These words were both offensive and offensive, extremely humiliating, yet mixed with an irrefutable and deceptive logic.

Although the demon lords were extremely furious, with demonic energy surging around them and their claws clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound, they could not find the words to refute for a moment.

The Power Demon roared dully, flames surged around the Fire Demon, and the Shadow Demon's figure became increasingly distorted. They were all speechless after being silenced by Min Xiao, and could only suppress their raging rage in the boiling demonic energy. An even more dangerous and oppressive atmosphere filled the air.

Zhou Yuan, shivering in the corner, said, "..." So they were planning this? Or were they deliberately losing to them? Was being repeatedly broken into part of the plan?

Didn't you just throw the remnant soul out there to test it? If I hadn't been watching, I would have almost believed it—this is the first time I've seen someone describe their own mistakes in such a refreshing and refined way.

But these demons didn't even have the education level of a kindergarten, yet they actually believed it, looking guilty - they suffered the consequences of their lack of education.
