Chapter 464: The general trend of the world, the old is cheated by the young
"Oh?"
The demon kings originally thought that everything was alright, but Lin Fan came up and said that a crisis was coming, which brought their attention back.
The White Centipede Demon King smiled and asked:
"I have also heard a little bit about the situation in the Song Dynasty. How come the war between your human race's righteous way and the Yan Kingdom's demonic way involves us, the demon clan in the Luosong Mountains?"
The demon kings are not completely ignorant of the outside world, and they are more or less aware of it. Lin Fan's dangerous remarks are like child's play in their eyes.
Demon King Jianjia was already unhappy with Lin Fan, so he simply spoke out and exposed him on the spot.
“You’re probably just trying to drag us all into trouble, so you’re making alarmist remarks, right?”
"."
Lin Fan's next words were aborted. Before he could continue to lay the groundwork, the other party made his words clear!
All the demon kings smiled and shook their heads. As soon as Yu Muzi was exposed in such a hurry, this junior human race deliberately exaggerated the truth again, and even a fool could guess what he wanted to do.
Lin Fan discovered that the demon kings had guessed his purpose, so he simply revealed his purpose.
"Seniors, you are very discerning. I am indeed here to borrow troops."
"However, are you being alarmist? After reading the letter from the real person in charge of our sect, it is not too late to draw a conclusion."
"This is a jade plate and a letter, please take a look at it!"
Lin Fan knew that his words were unfounded, so he took out the token and showed it to the other party to have a factual basis.
Demon King Jianjia ordered his men to bring the two items, opened them, and passed them around to all the demon kings for a look.
At first they were all nonchalant, but after reading it their expressions became a little more solemn, and the small circle began to communicate with each other.
"Everyone, what do you think about what is said in the letter from the head of the Zixiao Sect?"
Jianjia Demon King put things on the table and asked them what they thought.
All the demon kings spoke one after another, with different stances.
"The Fire Fox King of the Yanyun Mountains joined the battle and killed an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage of the Zixiao Sect?"
"It shouldn't be wrong. If you send your subordinates out to investigate this kind of thing, you will know. There is no need for their leader to lie about this matter."
"What do the demon tribes of Yanyun Mountains mean by this? They are clearly weakening the strength of the righteous way of the Song Dynasty and putting a dent in the demonic way of the Yan Kingdom?"
"The letter said so. It seems that they have some thoughts about our Luosong Mountains."
"That's probably impossible. The overall strength of our Luosong Mountain Monster Clan is no worse than theirs. Coveting us is completely wishful thinking!"
"But this letter clearly states that if Zhengdao of the Song Dynasty falls, it will be our turn next."
"Hey, who are you scaring with these little tricks? The three sects of the Righteous Way have been inherited for thousands of years. They have survived many storms and waves, and an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage is about to collapse! Who are you kidding!"
"Same."
"It makes sense."
The demon kings' concentration was quite good, and they were not fooled by the description in a letter.
Although the letter was stamped by the great seal of the sect, and it was impossible for the sect leader to falsify what he said, the fact was that the Yanyun front line was breached, and an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage of the Zixiao sect died.
For the Zixiao Sect, this is indeed something worthy of urgent attention, but looking at the entire Song Dynasty, neither Qianyun Pavilion nor Yushou Valley responded. In which case did the demon clan in the Luosong Mountains feel the crisis?
Although some demon kings, such as the White Centipede Demon King, simply felt that the demon clan in the Yanyun Mountains was breaking the rules by participating in the war, and they were slightly worried in their words, but generally speaking, they did not think that the Zixiao Sect would not be able to cope with it.
No matter what, the term lip-destroying and tooth-cold is a bit too much, but it doesn't go as far as this.
After all, the demon kings of the Luosong Mountains were paying close attention to the whole battle between good and evil decades ago!
The three major sects of the Black Lotus Sect, the Blood River Palace, and the Baigui Sect, with nine Nascent Soul Stage members and hundreds of thousands of troops, marched forward with great success, but they all collapsed in the Qinling Mountains and were bleeding for thousands of miles!
Now they are just breaking through Yanyun's defense line, and the situation is far from that bad.
The demon kings discussed it and decided to wait and see what happens.
They are not the ones who are anxious. Let the Zixiao Sect continue to carry it. At most, they will send a few demon clans to keep an eye on it. When they really find something is wrong, it will be too late to discuss whether to intervene.
Demon King Jianjia collected everyone's opinions, and after reaching a consensus, he left the letter here and returned the jade plate to Lin Fan.
"We already understand the purpose of your visit, but now is not the time to send troops. You should go back and report first. If there is any major change in the situation afterwards, you can contact us at any time."
You can obviously make excuses to refuse, such as you are too busy right now, or you are entangled in something and can't get away, but the demon clan speaks so straightforwardly and clearly tells you that it will not send troops.
Of course, you can communicate with us about the situation in the Song Dynasty. What happens next depends on the development of the situation.
Lin Fan also wanted to use the various diplomatic cases he found through consulting ancient books before leaving to lobby, but these demon kings would not be fooled!
No matter what you say, as long as the flames of war are not burning on our heads, we will lie still, eat and drink when we should, and then play music and dance!
Only then did he realize that if the stories in ancient books were not combined with reality, they would be pure nonsense!
What about distant friendship and close attack, borrowing a knife to kill someone, leading a false path, and joining forces vertically and horizontally?
Both human nature and demonic nature are inherently selfish. If you don't see the rabbit but don't let the eagle fly, it's simply impossible for you to ask the other party to help you by just saying a few empty words!
Even though he repeatedly emphasized that it was not the personal behavior of the Fire Fox King, but the overall conspiracy of the Yanyun Mountain Range, these demon kings remained indifferent.
It doesn’t matter if the strength of your Great Song people has been weakened, we will go out to clean up the situation when you are exhausted. Anyway, the two human and demon tribes have been in the same area for so long, and they are a little suffocated by being trapped in the Luosong Mountains all day long.
Demon King Jianjia persuaded Lin Fan to take heart, as the sky cannot fall and the Song Dynasty will not fall so easily.
Lin Fan: "."
Of course I know that the sky cannot fall, and the Great Song River is also very deep, but the pressure has been put on us, Zixiao Sect, to resist. Don't worry, we must!
Demon King Jianjia seemed to have the ability to read minds, and he enthusiastically reminded Lin Fan that he should go to Qianyun Pavilion and Royal Beast Valley to ask for reinforcements, and that he should not abandon the human race and go to the demon clan. This is called abandoning the original and chasing the weak.
Lin Fan was about to speak but was blocked again.
Of course I know that if there is a problem, I have to ask the human race for help first, but the problem is that both sides are also restrained by foreign enemies, and they all want to see our Zixiao Sect’s jokes. They have long wanted to replace us, so how can they send troops to help?
The White Centipede Demon King on the side spoke at this time, saying that he could show him a clear way.
"There are a few Nascent Soul Stage rogue cultivators in the Song Dynasty who have been wandering around in the Luosong Mountains recently. You can persuade these old guys to come out of the mountains. Wouldn't the pressure on the front line be greatly reduced?"
The Lan Shu Demon King and the Tapir Demon King next to them also agreed. They have long been annoyed by these old guys. It would be best if they could ask them to leave!
Lin Fan directly stated that he did not know those great gods, and the Zixiao Sect had no friendship with them at all, let alone that he could not find them.
The White Centipede Demon King could only shake his head and sigh, telling him to go back and find a solution on his own, as we the demon clan could not help.
We don’t talk about structure here, only about friendship!
All the turmoil in the world can't affect our happiness among the mountains and rivers! Lin Fan couldn't help but glance at Lin Shan. Aren't these three demon kings your backers? Why are you still not helping?
Lin Shan shrank his head and did not speak for him again this time.
He had just escaped from the Huahai incident, and Demon King Jianjia let him go. How dare he continue to come out and dance, wishing he could keep a low profile!
I don’t have that much face, so I incited the three demon kings to send troops to your Zixiao Sect. Just being able to intercede on my behalf is already a blessing!
At this time, the field gradually changed from deserted to noisy.
The demon cave masters in the audience no longer paid attention to Lin Fan. They each changed their cups and started eating and drinking. Anyway, the tall man would be responsible for whatever happened. The demon kings still have the final say in the Luosong Mountains, and they had nothing to do with it. thing.
Lin Fan stood there alone, frowning and thinking about how to explain to his elders when he went back.
This script is completely different from what the Great Elder said!
After actually arriving on the ground and meeting the demon king, I realized how difficult it is to lure someone into the trap!
From the perspective of the Zixiao Sect, it is a big deal if an elder in the Nascent Soul Stage dies, but from the perspective of the Demon King, it is just death. What does it have to do with me?
It doesn’t matter whether the Yanyun Monster Clan sends out all its troops. We’ll wait until they reach the foot of the Luosong Mountains. Anyway, aren’t the base camps of your three righteous sects all in the west behind us?
It will be too late to join forces then!
The Monster Clan does not have the skills to defend enemies outside the country, maintain buffer areas, and expand strategic depth.
After all, all the demon kings in the Luosong Mountains are not monolithic. There were two pairs of enemies who just stopped fighting through the mediation of Demon King Jianjia at the group demon meeting.
Everyone wants to preserve their strength, who will sacrifice their lives for your human race?
It’s not that the Monster Clan doesn’t have knowledgeable people, it’s just that out of consideration of its own interests, the overall situation has to be put a little behind.
If you want to persuade them to send troops, unless you have connections and friendships, it will definitely not make sense to use favors or interests to py.
Lin Fan suddenly remembered why the Great Elder suddenly asked him to come when the leader handed over the task to Yu Muzi. He had obviously expected it!
So.
He took out an object with some doubts. It was a thunder lotus seed that he had just taken from the thunder pond in Zhongshan of Zixiao Sect a few days ago.
This treasure is obviously extraordinary. As soon as you take it out, the dazzling blue light instantly illuminates the surrounding area for hundreds of meters!
I’m afraid that others won’t see it!
"Huh?"
The demon kings on the stage ignored him at first and were talking and laughing among themselves. Suddenly, they were attracted by the flash of treasure light and their attention was drawn again.
"This thing looks like a thunder lotus seed, which is a bit rare."
"It is said that only the Chitrelian grown in the Thunder Pond can produce fruit!"
"In the Song Dynasty, the only place with thunder pools is Zixiao Sect. This can't be the case."
"I seem to feel a similar breath from it."
"That's right, this Thunder Lotus Seed is the Purple Golden Thunder Lotus brought back from the outside world by the previous ancestor of my Zixiao Sect and planted in the Thunder Pond in the Zhongshan Mountain of the sect. It is a treasure that can only breed one every hundred years!"
Lin Fan triumphantly shook the thunder lotus seeds in his hand and explained to the old monsters on the stage.
After hearing this, the demon kings nodded, acknowledging that this thing was indeed a treasure, and couldn't help but ask questions.
"Then what?"
"And... uh... uh?"
Lin Fan was stunned by the question, and his raised hand became slightly stiff.
Seeing the incomprehensible expressions of the demon kings, I had no choice but to speak in embarrassment.
"In the Thunder Pond of Zhongshan Mountain of our sect, the ancestor of the thunder crocodile, the spiritual beast that protects the sect, lives. This thunder lotus seed is the token given to me by this old man before I came here."
He took the initiative to point it out, and all the demon kings suddenly realized.
"Oh, let me tell you, why can I sense the aura of the Demon King on it!"
"It turns out to be Thunder Crocodile, and this old guy is still alive?"
"I can't say for sure, but it's possible. After all, the lifespan of the Thunder Crocodile clan is not short. When they reach the Nascent Soul stage, they won't be able to escape after living for two or three thousand years."
"Hey, you guys really don't have enough information! Decades ago, the Demonic Dao attacked the Zixiao Sect, and this guy made a powerful move, and his strength is still the same as before!"
"It is its business to be willing to be a lackey for humans. What does it mean to bring the token to us?"
Lin Fan opened his eyes wide and glanced left and right, just to see which demon king had friendship with the Thunder Crocodile Ancestor, and quickly aimed at the target to please him.
It turned out that after listening for a long time, it seemed that the demon kings were not too cold.
Apart from admitting that this guy is really old enough and his strength is worth mentioning, there is nothing else!
So, the Thunder Crocodile Ancestor doesn’t have any friends among the demon clan?
A loner?
In fact, if a demon clan becomes a spiritual pet for a human being, and eventually becomes a mountain-protecting spiritual beast, they will basically be looked down upon by their peers if they get into this position.
No matter how high your seniority and strength are, in the eyes of the Demon King, you are still a watchdog of mankind, and you will definitely be criticized.
Coupled with the misjudgment of the Grand Elder of the Zixiao Sect, he mistakenly believed that the Thunder Crocodile Ancestor had connections in the Luosong Mountains, which led to the series of oolongs in asking for help.
Lin Fan couldn't help but wonder.
He remembered that day when he broke into the Zhongshan Thunder Pond, the big and fierce prehistoric giant crocodile opened its fishy mouth and grinned, bragging to himself how awesome it was among the monster clan back then.
Demon kings of all sizes in the Luosong Mountains have to respectfully call it "Grandpa" when they see it!
Results,
That's it?
I traveled thousands of miles to come here and show it with your token, but people didn’t react at all?
If you meet one or two demon kings and they don't recognize you, that's okay. Maybe you haven't met the right acquaintance.
But this is a gathering of monsters!
Except for a few exceptions, most of the demon kings in the Luosong Mountains are gathered here, and all of them are not interested in you. Doesn’t this explain the problem?
"Mad, that old crocodile tricked me!"
Lin Fan was furious and cursed in his heart.
Obviously, the great elder of Zixiao Sect heard the Thunder Crocodile Ancestor brag when he was a child. Now he is deceiving both young and old, and the truth is revealed!
When the Thunder Crocodile Ancestor gave the Thunder Lotus Seeds as a gift, he was only optimistic about Lin Fan's potential. Who knew that this kid would actually use this thing to go to the Luosong Mountains to find the Demon King? The key is that it was assigned by the Grand Elder of the Zixiao Sect!
These two people actually believed it!
The demon kings on the stage chatted and then dropped the topic and ignored him.
Anyway, the ancestor of the Thunder Crocodile has long since left the demon clan and is not worthy of being with us. In the eyes of the demon kings, its token is not even as effective as the demon king's order in Lin Shan's hand.
For Lin Shan's sake, the White Centipede Demon King kindly reminded him not to work in vain when he saw Lin Fan standing there alone. He should first collect the treasures and then go to the table below to have something to eat and drink, pretending that his visit was not in vain.
Lin Fan lost his mind and followed the guidance and walked towards Lin Shan's table. This mission seemed to have gone awry.
When the two brothers met again, they were speechless for a moment.
