Chapter 693 - 687: Plotting Together Against the Yin Celestial Son
The words of Xi Huang were crystal clear.
It means that you, Demon Lord and Buddha, didn’t invite us from Wa Huang’s Palace when you were feasting, trying to eat alone.
And now, when you’re getting beaten up, you suddenly remember Wa Huang’s Palace?
According to past rules, when hunting the Void Race, all three families must act together and share the benefits.
But now, you two went secretly to hunt the Void Race, keeping all the benefits for yourselves.
We haven’t even troubled you from Wa Huang’s Palace, yet you turn it around to trouble us instead?
After Xi Huang finished speaking, the Demon Lord really had no way to refute.
Xi Huang had the upper hand!
In terms of reason, the Demon Lord couldn’t stand his ground, so he could only attack Xi Huang’s standing.
"I am speaking to Wa Huang, what do you count for?"
"Tier Two, do you have any standing to speak here?" the Demon Lord coldly rebuked.
Demon Lord’s tone was icy, taking on a frustrated demeanor.
"My big brother’s words are my own!"
"Does Demon Lord think that I, too, am not qualified to speak with you?" Wa Huang replied in a bad tone and then turned to Buddha, saying, "Buddha, you and I understand reason."
"The losses you incurred this time are significant, but they have nothing to do with me?"
"When you acted against the Void Race, you did not inform me, rather than informing me and I did not act with you."
Demon Lord: "???"
The Demon Lord thought, fine, fine, fine!
You two are reasonable, and it’s just me who isn’t, right?
Well, since Wa Huang says I’m unreasonable, I’ll keep fighting with you to the end.
"Humph!" The Demon Lord snorted coldly and grumbled, "You’ve set your mind to watch the tigers fight from the mountainside, and now blame us for not notifying you when we acted against the Void Race."
"Even if we had informed you, would you have gone?"
As soon as the Demon Lord finished speaking, Wa Huang responded with firm resolution, "I would have gone!"
"I certainly would have gone!"
In truth, if at the time Demon Lord and Buddha were acting against the Void Race, they invited Wa Huang, Wa Huang wouldn’t have gone either.
In fact, it’s quite likely, like this time, they wouldn’t even have seen Wa Huang initially.
But now, with the situation as it is, Wa Huang must claim he would have gone.
After all, with events already unfolded, Wa Huang had to provide a hypothetical in his favor.
Demon Lord: "???"
"Nonsense!" Demon Lord raged, "I’m sure you wouldn’t have gone!"
Just then, Xi Huang chimed in, delivering a killer line against Demon Lord, "How would you, Demon Lord, know that Wa Huang wouldn’t go?"
"Perhaps, if you were in Wa Huang’s position, based on your behavior, you yourself wouldn’t have gone, right?"
"In past actions against the Void Race, all three families acted together. Why wouldn’t Wa Huang’s Palace go if you had invited us this time?"
At this point, Xi Huang turned to Buddha, asking, "Buddha, what do you think?"
Now the decision was kicked over to Buddha?
Could Buddha, like Demon Lord, obstinately claim Wa Huang wouldn’t have gone?
Even though knowing Wa Huang wouldn’t go, Buddha couldn’t say it.
Because at the root of it all, it’s them acting without inviting Wa Huang.
Not that they invited Wa Huang and Wa Huang didn’t go.
Seeing Buddha silent for so long, Demon Lord blushed and prepared to argue.
"You all...."
However, as soon as Demon Lord spoke, he was interrupted by Buddha, "The Void Race is just a minor affliction, the real problem is Yin Celestial Son."
"Let’s not dwell on the past; in my view, we should discuss how to deal with Yin Celestial Son moving forward."
"This time, our main purpose is to invite Wa Huang so that our three families can jointly deal with Yin Celestial Son."
Buddha interrupted Demon Lord precisely to prevent him from saying more.
How could Demon Lord’s words stand against Xi Huang and Wa Huang’s arguments?
Besides, regarding the Void Race issue, they were in the wrong, continuing would only embarrass Demon Lord.
In that case, why not drop the matter?
Let’s not talk about the Void Race; move directly to dealing with Yin Celestial Son.
Wa Huang, don’t you say we didn’t notify you when dealing with the Void Race?
Now that we’re notifying you all about dealing with Yin Celestial Son, let’s see how you respond.
Upon hearing Buddha mention dealing with Yin Celestial Son, Wa Huang’s eyes gleamed momentarily.
Wa Huang himself wanted to deal with Yin Celestial Son; Yin Celestial Son was their greatest obstacle to controlling the world.
If Yin Celestial Son were to die, the world would be leaderless.
Demon Lord, Buddha, and Wa Huang, due to past vows, couldn’t descend upon the world in person.
But Wa Huang had Xi Huang and Peacock Great Ming King under his command; the world was practically his for the taking.
At that moment, Wa Huang might even consume the whole cake of the world.
Doesn’t Wa Huang want to act against Yin Celestial Son?
However, wanting is one thing; actually acting against him?
Due to past vows, the three of them couldn’t go to the world and gang up on him like they did with Human King — there was no hope left.
Plus, Yin Celestial Son wasn’t an idiot; he surely wouldn’t take the risk and enter the Void.
Seeing Wa Huang remain silent for a long time, Demon Lord cynically mocked, "Wa Huang, weren’t you blaming us for not notifying you when we dealt with the Void Race?"
"Now we’re telling you about joining forces against Yin Celestial Son, why aren’t you speaking?"
Wa Huang is not someone who suffers losses, especially when facing Demon Lord, whom he loathes to the core.
If Demon Lord cynically mocks Wa Huang, Wa Huang will respond with sarcasm.
Retaliation was his priority.
"Humph!" Wa Huang snorted coldly, not in a good mood, "I’m silent, but you, Demon Lord, never stop talking."
"How is it that you, Demon Lord, can kill Yin Celestial Son with mere words?"
"If you can speak Yin Celestial Son to death, I, Wa Huang, would gladly give up everything, handing the chance in this world entirely to you."
Buddha: "???"
Buddha looked and thought to himself, great, here they go again.
Seeing his two allies quarrel day after day, Buddha was also at his wits’ end.
"Please, both of you, stop arguing!"
"We should work together to deal with Yin Celestial Son, shouldn’t we?" Buddha advised them kindly.
At this moment, Wa Huang glared fiercely at Demon Lord and declared, "If it’s about dealing with Yin Celestial Son, neither I nor Wa Huang’s Palace will decline."
"However, that Yin Celestial Son is hiding within the world, beyond our reach."
"I, Wa Huang, a mere woman, have no real strategy against Yin Celestial Son."
"Buddha, since you initiated this matter, surely you have a feasible plan, right?"
"As long as your plan is sound, Wa Huang’s Palace will certainly cooperate fully."
