Lu Cheng stood up and placed the Pure Yang Sword against the Holy Lord's neck!
"Excuse me, can you answer my question?" Lu Cheng looked innocently into the Holy Lord's red eyes.
"..."
Suppressed by the immortal god's relic, the Holy Lord dared not exert any power, because if his demonic energy wavered even slightly, the sword would instantly send him back to hell!
Damn immortal gods!
The Holy Lord took a deep breath. "May I refuse to answer?"
“Of course.” Lü Cheng nodded and took the longsword from the Holy Lord’s neck.
"I'm not some unreasonable devil, of course I won't force you to do anything. After all, cooperation is a matter of mutual consent."
After saying this, Lü Cheng plunged his longsword into the Holy Lord's chest.
"..."
"You..." For the first time, a look of utter bewilderment appeared on the face of the Holy Lord's demon.
“But you refuse to answer my question, and I’m not willing to do so!” Lu Cheng said, looking displeased.
"The cooperation has broken down!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Lü Cheng, with a thought, sent the Holy Lord flying back to the Demon Hell with the Pure Yang Sword.
Having just taken a few breaths of fresh air, the Holy Lord looked at his brothers and sisters in front of him with a bewildered expression.
"You...why are you back?" Zhou Lan asked, puzzled.
"..."
"Hahahahaha!!"
"Old thing!"
Seeing that the Holy Lord was still in a daze, the little demon dragon immediately realized the reason and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
It must have been his father who angered that human, and then that guy used the token of an immortal god to send him flying!
"You got sent back as soon as you went out, you're so shameless..."
boom! !
A burst of scorching dragon flame erupted from the Holy Lord's mouth, blasting the demon dragon away.
"..."
Seeing the Holy Lord's somewhat doubtful expression, the seven demons exchanged bewildered glances.
what's the situation?
After a long while, the Holy Lord came to his senses and looked up at Zhou Lan.
"Are you sure that kid is a yang person?"
An even more yin than him, yet still yang?!
Chapter 4 Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality
……
After much trouble, Lü Cheng once again pulled the Holy Lord out of hell.
"So, Holy Lord, can you answer my question now?" Lu Cheng politely brewed hot tea for the Holy Lord.
“If I tell you this, my brothers and sisters will kill me when they come out,” the Holy Lord said quietly.
“But Ximu has already told me some things,” Lü Cheng said.
“I am a descendant of an immortal god, and the one who happens to be the one who counters you. The power of demons cannot corrupt my soul unless I willingly accept it. Therefore, you took a huge risk and signed an eternal pact of yin and yang balance with me.”
"This is the only way for you to leave hell."
Although he didn't know how he came to be a descendant of an immortal god, this sword, this immortal god's token that restrained the Holy Lord, truly existed.
He didn't completely believe Ximu's words. Demons aren't all loving each other, so to find out the truth, he had to get the answers from different demons.
Shendu is the most intelligent, selfish, and hypocritical of all the demons, and also the most difficult to deal with. However, perhaps it is fate that he happens to be the one who counters Shendu!
Once other demons leave Hell, they become free beings. The contract between him and other demons only grants him demonic power, not the ability to control demons.
Only the Holy Lord!
The Pure Yang Sword on his body allows him to send the Holy Lord back to hell at will!
No matter when!
Even if the Holy Lord recovers to his peak in the future, he will be unable to do anything about him!
“In a sense, the two of us are actually the closest partners.” Lü Cheng poured hot tea for the Holy Lord.
“I can control you, but I can’t control the other demons, so I can’t trust them.”
"You're the only one I can trust!"
The Holy Lord sneered, "You want me to help you deal with the other demons?"
"Don't forget! You are a descendant of an immortal god, and my enemy!"
"And they are my fellow demons!"
"A fellow demon?" Lu Cheng asked with a strange expression.
How could you say such a thing?
"Who left hell to rule the earthly kingdom alone? Who broke their promise?"
"In the end, who was it that personally defeated the little demon dragon who was about to rule the human world?"
"You can't even tolerate your own son, yet you treat other demons as your own kind?"
“Holy Lord, it’s just the two of us here, there’s no need for all that formality.”
"Ximu betrayed your so-called Demon Alliance so that I could bring him out first next time. Why can't you betray them too?"
"Anyway, it's not your first time. Practice makes perfect."
The Holy Lord's expression remained unchanged. "That was in the past. I did betray my compatriots because of momentary greed, but things are different now. You are different!"
"What's different?" Lu Cheng asked.
"Because I am a descendant of that so-called immortal god?"
"Because I happen to be able to control you?"
"Holy Lord, you understand this better than anyone that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Otherwise, you wouldn't have chosen to betray your demonic brethren and rule the earthly kingdoms alone, nor would you have chosen to help humanity defeat your son."
"You are selfish."
"Now, among the eight demons, I can only subdue you. Are you content with that?"
"It's not scarcity that's the problem, but inequality!"
"..."
The Holy Lord narrowed his eyes slightly.
This kid isn't innocent!
He had also dealt with the descendants of immortal gods, during the time when he ruled the earthly kingdoms alone, and there were humans who were protected by immortal gods.
Those descendants of the gods had no tokens to send him back to hell, but the immortal divine aura emanating from them would still restrain his power.
Therefore, he cannot face those humans.
Those descendants of the gods were all upright and righteous, unwavering until death. No matter what temptations he offered, they never wavered!
Just like a saint!
So, after his attempt to seduce failed, he changed his strategy.
If demons cannot harm saints, what about humans?
Human greed, selfishness, and hypocrisy are in no way inferior to those of the devil!
The only difference between them is strength!
If he can't tempt a saint, how can he not tempt humankind?
Driven by self-interest, those ridiculous descendants of immortal gods all died at the hands of their own people!
“You don’t seem to be a descendant of an immortal god,” the Holy Lord said.
It's a bit like Saint Seiya.
A descendant of an immortal god, possessing overwhelming divinity!
They don't understand human nature, they are only thinking about saving the world, they can only see the demons in front of them, but not the dangers hidden behind them, so without exception they are all betrayed by their own human compatriots whom they trusted.
But the Saints are different; they have the goals of saints and are aware of the wickedness of human nature.
Lopez!
