Ta Tianqing
Chapter 346 What? Lin Chen captured the Goddess of Wisdom?
The Demon Emperor actually wants to take Lin Chen as a disciple!
Many Demon Lords, however, wore expressions of watching a good show.
Even the Bull Demon Lord said triumphantly, "Haha, this is my idea... If the Demon Emperor can accept the Human Emperor as a disciple, with the Human Emperor's character, the Demon-Slaying Mantra on the Xuan Tian Treasure Mirror will definitely be changed in the future!"
Hearing the Bull Demon Lord's words, Lin Chen understood...
There are quite a few Demon Lords!
Thirty or forty of them!
This is really the Demon Clan's base camp.
After briefly assessing the strength of both sides...
In reality, Lin Chen had far fewer mental obstacles to overcome in becoming a disciple.
What's more, there's the Demon Luo Treasure Tome…
It sounds like the Demon Emperor's inheritance!
Lin Chen feels no mental pressure when doing anything beneficial.
It's like that saying that Blue Star people often say: Making money isn't shameful!
As for the saying "One disciple does not worship two masters"...
Who said that?
Lin Chen has never even heard of it.
He's a Blue Star person!
On Blue Star, some disciples worship dozens of masters.
Guo Jing even had a bunch of masters!
If you want to become a strong person, how can you have too few masters?
As for the Demon-Slaying Mantra...
In reality, Lin Chen didn't take it seriously.
His creed is simple: You treat me well, and I'll treat you well.
If you scheme against me, then I'll kill you!
He won't be bound by worldly rules.
It is what it is!
So, Lin Chen was very direct: "If the Demon Emperor is willing to pass on the Treasure Tome to Lin Chen, Lin Chen would be grateful and thank the Demon Emperor for his kindness!"
"Haha, good!"
The Demon Emperor laughed loudly, but paused deliberately.
As mentioned before, the Demon Emperor's personality is very suspicious.
Lin Chen agreed so readily that he hesitated instead.
So, this pause explained everything.
Yu Shan immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, "Demon Emperor, the Human Emperor is the Lord of the Human Race, and the Human Race is not part of our Demon Clan. The Demon Emperor has no successor to this day, but now he has chosen the Human Emperor. Does this mean that in the future, our Demon Clan will have to listen to the Human Race's commands?"
"Yu Shan, what do you mean?"
Chi You shouted angrily, "This is the Demon Emperor's decision, what does it have to do with you? Why are you being so talkative?"
"Chi You, what Yu Shan said is just the truth!"
Yu Shan looked at Lin Chen and said, "If the Human Emperor wants the Demon Emperor's inheritance, he can give up his identity as a member of the Human Race and join our Demon Clan... Or, lead the entire Human Race to join the Demon Clan. Human Emperor, would you be willing to do that?"
This guy is clearly trying to find fault!
Lin Chen becoming a disciple is a personal act.
Giving up the Human Emperor's identity is an act against the entire Human Race!
Lin Chen's face was cold, and he stared at Yu Shan, asking, "Special Envoy, would you be willing to give up your identity as a member of the Demon Clan?"
Playing the blame game, who wouldn't?
In this kind of environment, Lin Chen naturally had to restrain himself and not make a move easily.
If it were a different occasion, Lin Chen would have drawn his sword long ago!
However, Lin Chen could also see that this Yu Shan was clearly at odds with the Human Race.
He has interfered more than once.
In his heart, Lin Chen has already marked him.
Must kill!
Facing Lin Chen's question, Yu Shan quickly said, "Of course I wouldn't!"
"So, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Don't you understand this principle, Special Envoy?"
Lin Chen once again looked at the Demon Emperor and said loudly, "Demon Emperor, it's impossible for Lin Chen to give up his identity as Human Emperor. Becoming a disciple is just Lin Chen's personal act. Lin Chen has never had any resentment or disrespect for the Demon Emperor! I don't know why such a sentence suddenly appeared on the Xuan Tian Treasure Mirror... But Lin Chen also has his own interpretation of it."
"Oh? Tell me!"
The Demon Emperor looked at Lin Chen with interest.
In reality, he was quite satisfied with Lin Chen's performance in rebuking Yu Shan earlier.
This shows that the Human Emperor is indeed not mediocre.
Yu Shan's questions were very sharp.
But Lin Chen was able to resolve them perfectly.
He even launched a counterattack against Yu Shan!
"The 'Demon' isn't necessarily the Demon Emperor, nor is it necessarily the Demon Clan. The inner demon is also a demon! I, Lin Chen, have walked this path, so I ask all of you Demon Lords present, has Lin Chen killed more demons, or more gods?"
Lin Chen has already taken the complete initiative.
It's simply the cosmic version of a tongue-lashing against a group of Confucian scholars… No, it should be considered a tongue-lashing against a group of demons!
The answer to this question is obvious.
"That's right, the number of gods killed by the Human Emperor is more than any of us Demon Lords present!"
"I feel like I haven't killed as many as him, and the quality is also high!"
"One Brahma is worth everything!"
"The strongest Brahma below the eighth revolution died at his hands!"
"..."
The eyes of the masses are discerning.
Lin Chen's point is undeniable.
Completely unassailable.
Even Yu Shan could only hold it in.
It's useless even if he suffers internal injuries!
"The number of gods you've killed is indeed more than any of my subordinates!"
The Demon Emperor didn't deny this point.
Lin Chen continued to ask, "Demon Emperor, does Lin Chen have any grudges with the Demon Clan?"
"No, he doesn't!" The Demon Emperor shook his head.
Lin Chen shook his head instead: "Perhaps there are... I've heard more than once that there are villains around the Demon Emperor, saying bad things about Lin Chen. Those villains… No, those guys with sinister intentions are probably the demons that Lin Chen wants to destroy!"
Boom!
Everyone present was shocked!
Lin Chen really dared to speak!
He actually said the words "destroy demons" in the Demon Palace, in front of the Demon Emperor, the thirty-eight Demon Lords, and the Demon Clan's Special Envoy Yu Shan!
So extra.
However, Lin Chen's words were sonorous and powerful.
He had accurately grasped the Demon Emperor's personality.
Suspicious.
And hesitant.
Otherwise, with his strength as an eighth-revolution expert, coupled with the Demon Clan's considerable power, why would he still be suppressed by the God Clan for so many years?
Don't forget, the God Clan is fighting two opponents at once.
There's also the Heavenly Dao Alliance!
The most deeply hidden group on the God-Demon Battlefield right now.
When Lin Chen first arrived at the God-Demon Battlefield, he came into contact with them, but later the Heavenly Dao Alliance lost contact with Lin Chen. It's estimated that Lei Hong's death made them suspicious, or they investigated something.
Little master, there's more to this chapter, please click on the next page to continue reading, the following is even more exciting!
But so what if Lin Chen said he wanted to destroy demons?
This open and aboveboard demeanor actually pleased the Demon Emperor.
After all, the target that Lin Chen wanted to destroy wasn't him, the Demon Emperor.
Everyone knows that Lin Chen was practically stating explicitly that the demon he wanted to destroy was Yu Shan...
Although Yu Shan doesn't seem to be qualified to be the demon on the Xuan Tian Treasure Mirror, words are spoken for people to hear.
They're also spoken for the Demon Emperor to hear!
As long as the Demon Emperor hears them and takes them to heart, that's enough.
"The Human Emperor is indeed clear about his grievances!"
The Demon Emperor said loudly, "Let's end this matter here! Since the Human Emperor is so open-minded about the pre-ordained prophecy on the Xuan Tian Treasure Mirror, why should our Demon Clan continue to dwell on it? Next, let's discuss how the God-Demon Battlefield should be divided... Now that the Nine Li Demon Clan is strong, and with the Human Race as an ally, it should be enough to take on a battlefield. Chi You, what do you think?"
Chi You responded, "Demon Emperor, shouldn't we use the Eastern God-Demon Battlefield as our base and aim to attack the central battlefield?"
"The central battlefield is heavily guarded; good steel should be used on the blade!"
The Demon Emperor smiled and said, "Everyone's idea is that it's best to use the powerful combat strength of the Nine Li Demon Clan and the Human Race, plus the assistance of the three maverick Demon Lords, Tan Lang, Qi Sha, and Po Jun, to directly wipe out one of the God-Demon Battlefields and continue to weaken the Heavenly Emperor's godhood."
"That's right."
The Mischief Demon Lord saw Yu Shan signaling to him. He knew that Yu Shan was afraid to speak again after being rebutted by Lin Chen... It seems that the Human Emperor is really powerful, actually rendering the Demon Emperor's special envoy speechless in the Demon Palace.
One can't help but admire him!
However, admiration is admiration, and benefits are benefits.
These are two different things.
The Mischief Demon Lord said loudly, "The central battlefield is currently under my responsibility, so there's no need for the Nine Li Clan to enter for the time being. Let the Asura Demon Clan and the Fire Demon Clan help out on the central battlefield!"
"Since the Mischief Demon Lord has said so, then Chi You naturally has no objections."
Chi You stopped talking.
In reality, he knows very well that as the Nine Li Clan's momentum grows, the power struggles within the Demon Clan have already begun.
This time, Chi You wanted to enter the central battlefield in order to compete for the position of commander of the Demon Clan.
However, the Mischief Demon Lord clearly doesn't want to give up this power, so he's opposing it.
The situation within the Demon Clan is also complex.
"Then... what do you think, Human Emperor?"
The Demon Emperor looked at Lin Chen.
"My Human Race is currently still cooperating with the Nine Li Clan to fight against the God Clan. Moreover, the Lord of War is my father-in-law. The Human Race is used to cooperating with the Nine Li Clan in battle, so naturally, we will also follow the Demon Emperor's orders."
Lin Chen wasn't picky.
However, in his heart, he also leans towards going to the God-Demon Battlefield.
After all, that's where the Human Race Imperial Mausoleum is!
But Lin Chen also knows that he can't be anxious at this time.
As the saying goes, haste makes waste.
The Imperial Mausoleum has existed for a long time.
It was established by the Human Race's Great Emperor Xuanyuan in ancient times.
It's been several thousand years since then.
However, the Human Race Imperial Mausoleum has never been discovered.
What's a year or two more?
The war with the God Clan isn't something that can be accomplished overnight.
So, Lin Chen is actually very satisfied with this outcome.
At the very least, he was able to come to the Demon Palace this time and, with his own wisdom, ensure his safe retreat.
"Alright, then it's decided."
After the Demon Emperor finished speaking, his figure gradually disappeared.
The Demon Lords all respectfully bid him farewell.
Lin Chen also respectfully bid him farewell.
"Let's go!"
Chi You turned and left with Lin Chen.
None of the Demon Lords came to see them off.
On the contrary, after they left, Special Envoy Yu Shan's face suddenly turned cold.
Then, Yu Shan gave the Mischief Demon Lord a look.
He glanced at the Fire Demon Lord as well...
The Mischief Demon Lord nodded, sighing in his heart: I'm sorry, Fire Demon Lord, and your Fire Demon Clan... Yu Shan is especially narrow-minded. You've repeatedly helped the Human Race on the Eastern Battlefield, but Yu Shan doesn't know what's wrong with him. He's very much at odds with the Human Race. I still have to rely on him to secure my position as commander, so... you can only be cannon fodder!
At this time, the honest and simple Fire Demon Lord, who was left behind, had no idea that a conspiracy against him had already begun!
And the reason for dealing with him is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey!
Yu Shan seems to have made up his mind to oppose the Human Race.
Lin Chen and Chi You naturally don't know about these conspiracies.
The journey back was also much faster.
However, as the group was traversing through the void, they suddenly saw several gods fighting and entangled below.
"Why are the gods fighting among themselves?"
Li Guang was puzzled.
Chi You laughed and said, "It's just dogs biting dogs! We don't need to care."
"Yeah."
Lin Chen nodded.
However, suddenly a streak of light came towards them. Lin Chen saw a seriously injured god rushing towards him. He recognized this god… It's Lu Jian!
"Human Emperor, save me!"
Lu Jian shouted.
His appearance at this time was really a bit miserable.
The world is impermanent.
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river...
Thinking back to half a year ago, on the fourth-level battlefield, Lu Jian's combat power was still comparable to Lin Chen's, but what about now?
Lin Chen can even destroy main gods!
Lu Jian, on the other hand, is still at the peak of the fourth revolution.
And he even has to ask Lin Chen for help.
In the next moment, the God-Demon Chaos Heaven Lack in Lin Chen's hand transformed into a sword, surrounded by sword energy, and finally, he channeled all his Qi...
Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!
Bang!
Over there, the god who was chasing Lu Jian was directly killed with one sword.
"What's going on?"
Lin Chen looked at Lu Jian.
"Go… Goddess... Human Emperor, quickly save the goddess..."
Lu Jian said weakly, "The Heavenly Emperor, on the grounds that the goddess and the Human Emperor are having an affair, has ordered the establishment of a God-Slaying Altar in the central battlefield, to subject the Goddess of Wisdom to the punishment of the God-Slaying Execution... The God-Slaying Execution has been condensed for three days and three nights, and it will be completed in another four days and four nights! By then, the Goddess of Wisdom will only be able to escape if she can withstand this one strike!"
Hearing Lu Jian's words, everyone looked at Lin Chen with strange expressions.
Chi You laughed and said, "Good son-in-law, Wisdom is an old virgin of several thousand years, and you've taken her down too?"
"Human Emperor is awesome!"
Li Guang was stunned and praised him like that.
What is all this!
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't sleep with her..."
Lin Chen quickly explained.
But in this kind of situation, is explanation useful?
"Give him a Radiant Holy Crystal to heal his injuries, then take him back to the Human Race, and we'll ask him in detail later! That God-Slaying Execution is the heaviest punishment in the God Clan. If you didn't sleep with her, would Zeus be willing to use such a severe punishment on his most beloved daughter?"
Chi You clearly didn't believe Lin Chen's words.
It's not just Chi You.
When everyone returned to the Human Race and summoned the Human Race's gods to discuss the matter together, sure enough, they all looked at Lin Chen with strange eyes...
Then, Liu Mengyao spat.
Ji Wei didn't react much.
Mo Yi followed Liu Mengyao's lead.
Li Yao was shocked: "The Goddess of Wisdom has been taken down by my husband?"
Long Yandao grinned, "Sure enough, I didn't misjudge you. I thought you were such a good actor, and your handsomeness is comparable to mine in those years. You'll definitely be very popular, tsk tsk... Now you've already started messing with the Heavenly Emperor's daughter."
"Damn, the Goddess of Wisdom is a famous virgin goddess! Human Emperor, how's the taste?"
Alikis was even more explicit.
Lin Chen's face darkened.
So, he's jumped into the Yellow River and can't wash himself clean, is he?
"Everyone, be serious. I said there's no such relationship between me and her... Also, we're deliberating now. Are there no gods standing guard outside? God of War, please go stand outside!"
Lin Chen responded expressionlessly.
In his heart, he was thinking...
Could this be a trap set by the Heavenly Emperor?
