“I will purge you from my body! This body belongs to me and me alone!” he roared as he told Demon King's soul that the body belonged to him. He would not let anyone take over.
However, Greedy Wolf knew that Demon King's soul was one and the same with him. If Demon King were to die, he would be dragged down as well. It would be a near-impossible task to purge Demon King's soul andkeep his own intact.
To make things worse, he needed Demon King's power to reach his own goal. Obviously, it was a dangerous move on his part. If he made even a single false move, he would fall to his doom, fading forever from the face of this world.
If the worst case scenario were to come, Yumeng leaving him would be the best choice for her.
Greedy Wolf slowly calmed down, but not because he found peace. It was as if a void was starting to form in his soul as something from beyond the abyss slowly sucked everything out of him. He became a cold, heartless version of himself like he was nothing but a machine.
And then he disappeared.
At the same time, the remaining Court Chiefs were gathered in the court of Demon King. They had to come up with a plan for their ensured survival after the catastrophe that had taken place.
Jiang Ning had killed half of the Underworld's Court Chiefs, and they suffered a far bigger loss in their soldiers.
Jiang Ning was like a one-man army who took out half of the Underworld's forces all by himself. Even so, none of them had the courage to exact vengeance, for they knew that would only result in one, singular outcome—the total annihilation of the Underworld.
A grim, somber air hung in the atmosphere. None of them ever expected the Underworld to shrink so much in a single day, nor did they ever imagine a mortal to attain such mighty strength. Calling him a one-man army might even be an understatement.
“Well? Does anyone have any idea what we should do now?”
“We need to have a leader. Someone who can unify us. It is important... No, crucial to reinstate order among us. If Jiang Ning were to launch another
assault, we would be powerless against him.” “It is not the time for us to fight among ourselves. I believe everyone knows how terrifying Jiang Ning is, correct? The only way we can defend ourselves is to band together as one.”
The Court Chiefs sighed in disgrace. Their pride, arrogance, and majesty had been replaced by humility, for Jiang Ning's strength had proven that they were nothing to him.
