I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 172: Has the Demon King gone mad?

"Forget it, I can't be bothered with all this."

Su Luo didn't intend to argue with Su Jinxi. Anyway, she was still alive and could fight, and that was enough.

Moreover, he carries the holy decree of the Demon King, so where would he find so much free time to bicker with Su Jinxi here?

To be honest, what happened in the Cloud Spirit Forest was what truly terrified Su Luo.

A human soul comparable to the Mahayana stage!

This was the truly terrifying situation they hadn't anticipated.

If Su Luo and Mu Gu hadn't both been at least at the tenth level of the Tribulation Transcending stage, reacted quickly, and even used a life-sustaining escape technique at the cost of their lifespan, they might have perished there. But Su Luo's thoughts raced...

and many more.

Since Su Jinxi is still alive, why not include her as well?

With multiple individuals at the tenth level of the Tribulation Transcending stage, the sacred decrees given to them by His Majesty the Demon Emperor were easier to complete. Moreover, Su Jinxi was a guest elder under the Demon Emperor, holding a high position. Hearing that something had happened to her, even the Demon Emperor felt a little sorry for her.

"Enough with the nonsense, what are you two doing here?"

Su Jinxi fiddled with her hair, her expression languid and casual.

"That's what I wanted to tell you too."

Su Luo's expression also turned serious. With a wave of his hand, a golden scroll appeared in his hand. Upon seeing it, Su Jinxi's expression also instantly became solemn.

The scroll was engraved with intricate patterns and textures, and a vast, ancient, and domineering aura rushed towards her! She sensed the supreme and incomparably powerful demonic aura of the Demon Emperor!

Without a doubt, this is the imperial edict of the Demon Emperor!

Su Jinxi frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Something doesn't feel right.

The imperial edict of the Demon Emperor is a very rare thing. Based on Su Jinxi's own experience of thousands of years of lifespan, the Demon Emperor has only issued an imperial edict once. On that occasion, Su Jinxi was still young, and the entire Demon Realm was mobilized by that supreme emperor to prepare for a decisive battle with humans.

Of course, in the end, the final battle did not take place.

It is said that a powerful human being "warned" him...

Even so, Su Jinxi could understand how solemn and important the Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons' decree was, and how it was an order that could not be ignored.

Seeing her sudden somber expression, Su Luo didn't hand the imperial edict to Su Jinxi. Instead, he said calmly, "His Majesty the Demon Emperor has decreed that all races of the Demon Realm prepare to wage war against humanity!" War?!

Su Jinxi was truly shocked this time.

What wrong medicine did the Demon King take?

Now they're actually choosing to go to war with humanity?

Su Luo and Mu Gu both looked very serious. They certainly wouldn't tease her about something like this. It seemed... to be something serious.

"His Majesty the Demon Emperor knows that to start a war, one must strike unexpectedly, feint to the east while attacking in the west, so that they are first preoccupied with other troubles, and then... that is the time for my demon army to invade in one fell swoop!"

Su Luo sneered.

Su Jinxi narrowed her eyes, reached out and snatched the imperial edict before Su Luo could react.

"you!"

He never expected Su Jinxi to take the imperial edict directly. "I want to see it for myself."

Su Jinxi glanced at him and unfolded the imperial edict.

Every stroke of the imperial edict exudes supreme majesty and ruthless power!

"hiss--"

Su Jinxi took a breath. She only glanced around briefly before her eyes widened in shock.

The Demon King wants to play big!

He not only wanted to mobilize the entire demon realm to be ready to attack humans at any time, but also wanted to get the demon beasts on human territory to join the great war!

This... seems a bit too arrogant?

Su Jinxi disliked fighting. Although the Demon King appreciated her, she wasn't particularly interested in his appreciation.

However, given the favor of the strongest among the demon race, she had no reason to refuse. Becoming stronger was simply so she could live a more comfortable life without interference... Although she hadn't expected to be ambushed during her breakthrough, she knew she would settle the score sooner or later.

But now, what the Demon Emperor is doing is of no interest to her at all, or rather, it only makes her feel a kind of overestimation of his own abilities and extreme arrogance!

Su Jinxi would never have thought this way before.

But after Gu Heng found her and kept her as a pet...

Su Jinxi, who had previously had little doubt about the Demon King, now knew that humanity had no shortage of powerful beings at the level of the Demon King, or even stronger than him!

They don't show up.

He simply lives in seclusion.

Just like Gu Heng.

But with the demon race launching a full-scale attack, could they possibly stand idly by and watch the war begin? No way!

Don't be fooled by Gu Heng's usual calm and peaceful life; he doesn't get angry or make a move. Su Jinxi is genuinely afraid to see him take action. Who knows how fierce and irresistible his attack might be?

"Sigh, what is His Majesty the Demon Emperor thinking..."

Su Jinxi put down the imperial edict, not knowing what to say. No demon could disobey the orders of the Demon Emperor.

"Hmph, do you understand now? His Majesty the Demon Emperor's grand undertaking is about to begin!"

"Since you're still alive, you might as well come with me and complete His Majesty the Demon Emperor's mission."

With a wave of his hand, Su Luo took the imperial edict back. Although he was not happy to have his things snatched from him, he didn't mind letting his cousin be a little presumptuous since he would be working with Su Jinxi later.

Anyway, she had read the imperial edict and understood the Demon Emperor's meaning, so she certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to disobey or ignore it.

Su Jinxi remained silent for a long while before saying calmly, "I won't do it."

"Hmph, I knew you'd agree, so... wait, what did you say?"

Su Luo's smile had barely appeared when it suddenly froze, and he froze, staring at Su Jinxi in disbelief, wondering if he had misheard: "Say it again?"

"I will not do it."

Su Jinxi repeated herself, adding, "His Majesty the Demon Emperor is very powerful, but I don't think he has a chance to achieve his grand ambitions. I don't want to be dragged to my death by him."

These words startled the two people opposite, causing their eyes to widen in shock!

"Su Jinxi, are you crazy?!"

Su Luo's voice suddenly rose a few decibels, his face full of anger, but beyond the anger, there was also some fear and even terror! How could this cousin, whom he had never liked, dare to be so disrespectful and belittle the grand ambitions of the Demon Emperor?

If other demons heard this, the consequences would be...

Fortunately, Mu Gu, who was standing next to him, was a trusted brother. Otherwise, those words would have put Su Luo in a very difficult position, making him feel like he was caught in the middle.

"This is the decree of His Majesty the Demon Emperor! Do you...do you know what you're saying?"

"Of course I know."

Su Jinxi retorted lightly, for she had been superior to Su Luo for thousands of years, and that was still the case now.

Any casual remark could leave him speechless.
