They've run out of choices at this point.
No one foresaw something like this would happen.
Compared to Greedy Wolf, Demon King was tougher to deal with. He was notorious for his battle strength, his scheming nature, and worst of all, his inhumanity.
He was ruthless and reckless when it came to achieving his goals and had never cared about the ramifications that might entail.
Jiang Ning went back to the Underworldwith Peter Panto see everyone still there.
Tang Fang looked at Jiang Ning and asked, “So, is Demon King dead?”
“No. We couldn't kill him.” Jiang Ning was forthright.
Tang Fang was slightly taken aback. He thought the men had joined forces and exterminated Demon King. It was now apparent that no one could kill that beast.
As long as Demon King lived, the Underworld would prevail. It was indestructible and savagely pernicious.
“Do you think you'll be able to survive if the world is ruined?” Jiang Ning asked abruptly. “I guess your loyalty isn't with Demon King after all.”
Tang Fang turned rigid, but he wasn't the only one. The rest of the Court Chiefs felt the same shudder. None of them were truly loyal to Demon King, nor Greedy Wolf.
Their loyalty to Demon King had been washed away as years passed. It was their fear of Greedy Wolf, or to be more accurate, Demon King, that had chained them to their position.
That was why they had to obey, or they would already be pushing up daisies a long time ago.
They had no choice in the face of absolute power. Efforts to run away would only be in vain. Fealty was their only key to survival.
“Hahaha... I'm at their mercy. What choice do I have?” Tang Fang let out a feeble laugh. “They could squash us easily just like you. Yes, we are Court Chiefs, but we've been living in inferiority more than anyone could compare. Well, we're all going to die one day, so what difference does it make?”
Tang Fang took a deep breath and continued. “It's a known fact that the Underworld will lose its ground when Heavenly Palace cease to exist. We have to understand that they live in equilibrium. The Underworld might thrive big-time, but it will start going downhill once it has hit its peak. This is the order of nature and destiny! No one has the power to manipulate it.”
