The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 448 Success

Li Ye arranged the demon wolf and the demon jackal to stand in the crowd in advance. The only purpose was to guide the public opinion and to release pressure on the demon bear. And he pretended to vomit blood and to be weak with disordered breaths.

When Li Ye said that he wanted the demon bear to take out all his Magic Treasures, the demon bear’s heart trembled. But now he had no time to care too much, so he hurriedly nodded to agree. “No problem. Just tell me what kind of Magic Treasures you want. As long as I have it, I’ll take it out!”

Li Ye said seriously, “All of them!”

The demon bear was a little stunned. “What did you say?”

Li Ye spat out a large mouthful of blood again. He fell straight to the ground, as if he suddenly lost all strength. At the same time, he looked at the crowd and shouted with grief and indignation, “The Lord doesn’t want to save me...”

The demon bear twitched his mouth slightly. As Li Ye was about to fall, the demon bear was in a flurry and his mind was in a tangle, but he was not a fool, so he was unwilling to take out all his Magic Treasures.

Seeing the demon bear’s hesitation, the crowd led by the demon wolf and the demon jackal immediately became angry. Some shouted to save Prince An, some blamed the Lord for being selfish, and some said that the Lord was disrespectful to the Seven Sages, ignoring the big plan of the demon clan.

Amid the noise, one voice stood out. It came from a demon leopard, who had been watching coldly with crossed arms and didn’t make a sound.

At this moment, he squinted at the demon bear and said coldly, “Lord, are you going to kill Prince An? Prince An was assassinated in the city, but the City Lord’s Mansion didn’t take any action at all, as if you haven’t noticed anything. Now Prince An came to you personally, but it seems that you don’t intend to chase the assassins. Are the assassins really your men like Prince An has said?”

The demon bear’s expression changed drastically.

The demon dhole was also shocked. What he said was harsh and revealing their plan.

When Li Ye came, he looked like he was seriously injured by the assassins and came for seeking justice. The demon bear and the demon dhole had been guarding against Li Ye previously. They wanted to regain the initiative, frame Li Ye, and convict him. They had no time to think about sending people to chase the assassins!

It was useless to chase the assassins because the mastermind was here. Did they have to make amends?

The demon bear was the mastermind, so he wouldn’t think of chasing the assassins. The noise lasted for a long time, and Li Ye was blackmailing him for his Magic Treasures. He was busy dealing with this, so the demon leopard took advantage of the opportunity and pointed out the fatal spot.

The demon bear and the demon dhole knew this arrogant and indifferent demon leopard.

He was also a famous great demon in this area. His cultivation was in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm. In terms of fighting ability, he was stronger than the demon bear.

Originally, he was the strongest competitor for the Lord of Panfeng City, but he liked to be alone and didn’t have forces under his command. Moreover, he was arrogant and lazy and had less support, so he didn’t win the demon bear.

The demon leopard thought that he had the same cultivation as the demon bear, but his fighting ability was stronger than the demon bear’s, so after the demon bear became the Lord of Panfeng City, he was not convinced. Because of the Macaque King suppression, the demon leopard didn’t dare to do anything blatantly. However, whenever the demon bear was doing something improper, the demon leopard would take the opportunity to criticize him.

There was no exception this time.

In fact, the loser, who refused to lose, like the demon leopard, existed in many places.

The demon bear gritted his teeth in anger when he saw the demon leopard.

In his view, the demon leopard was a difficult troublemaker. He was angry when he saw the demon leopard, but he was unable to defeat him. Moreover, although the demon leopard always criticized him, he didn’t do any evil deeds, so he had no evidence to punish him. It was very disgusting.

In fact, the demon bear knew that no matter how hard the demon leopard tried, he couldn’t become the Lord of Panfeng City because he was lazy and didn’t have his own forces. However, it didn’t mean that the demon leopard couldn’t bring him down.

This kind of opponent who harmed others without benefiting himself disgusted the demon bear.

Hearing the demon leopard’s words, all the demons brought back their minds. Then they thought that it was indeed the case.

Prince An looked miserable, and he was seriously injured and about to die, but the demon bear, as the Lord, didn’t notice this at the time of the assassination. Moreover, he didn’t mention to chase the assassins up to now. This was clearly abnormal!

Therefore, the demons thought that they knew the truth and cast suspicious glances at the demon bear, asking for an explanation. Some demons, who tried to stir up trouble, even began to accuse the demon bear of having evil intentions and say that he was not qualified to be the Lord.

“Lord, why did you assassinate Prince An of the Tang Empire?”

“Did you collude with that damned Taoist Immortal Court and attempt to destroy our demon clan’s plan?”

“As the Lord, you sent people to assassinate the Grand Prince of the human world. This is really shocking news. It’s a stain on our whole demon clan!”

“Lord, give us an explanation. We know that you have your difficulties, but you have to tell us!”

“Are you guilty? Speechless? Admit it? Get out of Panfeng City. We don’t need the Lord like you!”

Like tides, their sounds were getting louder and louder. It soon spread across almost half Panfeng City and attracted even more demons.

Many demons’ eyes turned red, and many of them rolled up their sleeves. It seemed that they would immediately tear down the City Lord’s Mansion if the demon bear couldn’t give an explanation.

Seeing this, the demon bear was so frightened that he took a few steps back.

Even his henchman, the demon dhole, who claimed himself to be resourceful, also panicked at this moment.

The crowd was furious. They were demons, so they could do anything!

The demon wolf and the demon jackal in the crowd looked at each other blankly at this moment. At this point, they didn’t need to guide the public opinion deliberately. “But why did the demon leopard who spoke just now help us?”

They looked at the demon leopard in confusion, looking like they were asking him why he helped them. But they found that he didn’t look at them or even notice them.

Then the demon wolf and the demon jackal looked at the demon fox. They said in their hearts, “Where did you invite this demon?” The innkeeper was also confused and thought that she didn’t know him.

Li Ye also didn’t expect that such a righteous demon would help him. He was very happy in his heart as all the demons were on his side.

But on the surface, he still looked very miserable. After he swayed for a few steps, he grabbed the demon bear’s hand. “I’m really going to die... If I die here, you’ll be finished... Will you give me the Magic Treasures?”

The demon bear wanted to cry. “Shouldn’t you ask for Dan Pills since you were injured? Why would you need Magic Treasures?”

Li Ye stared at him. “Will you give them to me or not?”

The demon bear could say nothing but to nod.

He took out several Magic Treasures from his storage bag and stuffed them all to Li Ye. “Here you are!”

Li Ye rolled up his sleeves and took all the Magic Treasures. Then he continued to stare at the demon bear. “It’s not enough. I want all, all the Magic Treasures in the City Lord’s Mansion!”

The demon bear widened his eyes. “No way! This is too much! I can’t accept it...”

Before he could finish his words, the demon dhole came over and grabbed him. The demon dhole hurriedly persuaded him in a low voice, “Give him the Magic Treasures and let him go. If he doesn’t leave now, our City Lord’s Mansion will be torn down!”

Hearing this, the demon bear wished to eat the demon dhole. “The Magic Treasures are not yours, so you’re not distressed.”

However, the demon bear also knew that what the demon dhole said was right. Although he felt that Li Ye was pretending injured, the demons’ anger was hard to calm down now. They were out of control and would not listen to his explanation. They were about to rush over, so he had to make a decision.

If the guards of the City Lord’s Mansion didn’t stop the crowd, he would have been drowned by them. The two sides were confronting each other. He was afraid that they would fight each other if he hesitated any longer.

The demon bear had no choice but to make up his mind.

He waved his hand toward his mansion. A storage bag flew out and landed in his hand. He stared at it for a long time, and his features twitched with pain. Finally, he gave it to Li Ye. “Here you are. You can leave now!”

When Li Ye opened it, he couldn’t help laughing out loud. There were a lot of Magic Treasures in it. More than a hundred of them were middle-ranking and low-ranking, and even some of them were high-ranking!

Li Ye accepted it without hesitation, but he didn’t intend to leave.

He continued to stare at the demon bear and began to cough up blood again. “This is only a part of them. What I want is all, all the Magic Treasures in the City Lord’s Mansion!”

The demon bear was angry. “Li Ye! Don’t bully me too much. If worse comes to worst, I’ll perish together with you!”

Li Ye didn’t retreat. He laughed and said, “As long as you are the Lord, you will have Magic Treasures. But if you really perish together with me, you will lose your life... Do you really think you can do that? Look at the crowd behind me and say it again.”

Looking at the crowd behind Li Ye, the demon bear immediately gave up struggling.

Instead of several hundred, several thousand cultivators of the demon clan gathered in front of the door!

All of them were cultivators. After hearing the news, they came very quickly. It wasn’t long before there were two to three thousand demons. If he delayed a little longer, all the demons in Panfeng City would gather here!

The demon leopard looked at him coldly on the side with his arms crossed, looking as if he were to drag the demon bear down from his position as the Lord if he would fight Prince An and prove his guilt for assassinating Prince An.

The demon bear was distressed, and he could only look at the demon dhole.

The demon dhole made eye contact with him, saying, “Our strength is inferior to Li Ye, so we have to yield. We’d better calm down the anger of the public as soon as possible. Otherwise, we’ll be finished...” A long time later, he realized that the demon bear could not understand him at all with his intelligence.

The demon dhole quickly said, “Give them to him!”

The demon bear kicked the demon dhole away.

Then he waved his hand toward his mansion again, and another storage bag flew out. He smacked it in Li Ye’s hand. Gnashing his teeth, he said, “This is all I have. Take them and tell the demons that I’m not the one who assassinated you!”

Li Ye took the storage bag and opened it. There were also more than a hundred Magic Treasures in it, and some of them were high-ranking. He no longer hid his mood. He smiled and said, “Lord, you’re generous. I admire you!”

While saying this, he glanced at the demon bear’s waist. There were a jade pendant and a golden string. It must be a treasure.

Covering the string of the jade pendant, the demon bear stepped back a few steps. He roared with grief and indignation, “This is my personal Magic Treasure! If you want it, you go too far! You’re forcing me to die!”

His words were full of momentum as well as grievances, as if he was about to cry.

“Don’t be afraid. Don’t panic. Haha. You keep it!” Li Ye waved his hand generously and laughed from ear to ear.

Of course, he could stop laughing, but he was disgusted with the demon bear for he colluded with the Star Pavilion to assassinate him.

Although the demon bear didn’t succeed and suffered a double loss, it was not a reason for Li Ye to sympathize with him. On this matter, Li Ye would only thank himself for being powerful.
