I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 333: Now, the Pressure Has Fallen Upon the Heavenly Demon Lord

Above the demonic palace, a congregation of demons gathered, and the evil demons and demonic aura rose to the sky.

In order to act covertly, the disciples of the Green Hell Cave have always scattered to different places and acted on their own. They only return to the cave at specific times to report to the Lord of All Demons.

For the Green Hell Cave, such a grand gathering of demons like the one happening now is a historic first.

Seated beneath the Lord of All Demons, according to seating order, were General Tiger Dragon, Tiancan Taoist, and Yin Yue Bone Demon, the three demon generals.

Next are Xiao Juechen of the Four Elders, Niu Tie Yi, and Madame Green Bamboo.

As for Xie Yunniang, she was not present at the seating arrangement.

Beneath the Four Elders were the demon generals from various caves and lairs, all of them powerful demons. Even the weakest among them had the strength of a fellow Wuzhu in a city.

With such strength, even when looking all over the world, they were a powerful demonic force, fully deserving of being called a gathering of talents.

But now with all the demons gathered together, Niu Tie Yi growled angrily and said, "Xie Yunniang has always been lazy and indifferent to the affairs of the cave. I have been in the Green Hell Cave for eighty years, and have been promoted by the cave master to the position of one of the Four Elders, but she has always been lazy and shirking responsibilities. I have long been displeased with her."

"I never expected that she would be lazy and selfish as usual, but even on such an important day for the demon cave, she didn't bother to show up… This Xie Yunniang! How dare she hold the same position as I do - one of the Four Elders? I, Old Bull, cannot accept this!"

The loud scolding of Niu Tie Yi caused the whispering of the demons below.

Having just listened to the scout's report, the Lord of All Demons at the head of the group now saw Niu Tie Yi getting angry. Instead of speaking up to stop him, the Lord whispered to his wife Wan Rong who was by his side.

It was as if he was indifferent to everything below.

And after Niu Tie Yi finished speaking, Madame Green Bamboo who had a good relationship with Xie Yunniang spoke up.

She coldly said, "Niu Tie Yi, are you being too meddlesome? The Demon Lord has already stated that Yunniang has other important matters to attend to, and it is normal for her to not come. We should understand this."

"You simply won't let it go. You're such a petty man for a grown adult… I can see you're jealous that Yunniang has a higher seat than you and you want to take advantage of the situation to push her down, isn't that right?"

Madame Green Bamboo's few words made Niu Tie Yi's eyes turn bloodshot and caused him to slam the table and shout out in anger.

"What the hell are you talking about, Madame Green Bamboo?! Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"I'm only pointing out that you two unscrupulous scoundrels have been taking high positions without doing your duties properly! If we're talking about cultivation, there are several demon generals in this hall whose abilities are comparable to yours."

"But when it comes to merit, which demon in this hall isn't stronger than you two scoundrels?"

"You and Xie Yunniang are both constantly up to no good, not doing what you're supposed to. That Xie Yunniang is always running off and can never be found when there's work to be done."

"And you, who keeps that little fox that only cultivates the righteous path, and talks about cultivating the righteous path day in and day out… It's really ridiculous."

"You're a demonic creature, do you really want to raise a righteous goddess?"

Niu Tie Yi angrily rebuked, "The most outrageous thing is that you were aware of the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain's situation, but failed to report back in time, but instead ran to the South Sea… Such a selfish and self-interested behavior is tantamount to desertion in the face of danger. If it weren't for the magnanimity of the lord, you would have been sent to the Demon-Slaying Platform long ago."

Niu Tie Yi scolded angrily, but Madame Green Bamboo didn't yield at all, saying, "How many times have I said it? I am taking Xiaoxiao to the South Sea to seek medical treatment! We are going to look for Wu Gu, one of the ten witches of the Spirit Mountain, to cure Xiaoxiao!"

"What deserting the battlefield? After taking Xiao Xiao to see the doctor, didn't I immediately come back?"

Madame Green Bamboo retorted sharply, "If we are talking about dereliction of duty, isn't it you, stupid ox, who committed a more serious dereliction of duty? The Demon Lord commanded you to retrieve the offspring of the Wolf God, but you were only able to bring back one because you were ambushed halfway through."

"If you weren't so foolish, the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain wouldn't have descended to mortal world!"

Up on the Demon Palace, there was endless noise and commotion.

After watching for a long time and waiting for both sides to argue enough, the Lord of All Demons finally spoke up and said, "As Yunniang has stated that she is still young and doesn't need to prolong her lifespan, the battle for the dragon soul this time can naturally be excluded from her."

"Now, with the great battle imminent, everyone should hold back their temper and work together to take the dragon soul first. We can discuss the rest later."

Watching the various demon generals below, as well as the Four Elders and the Three Demon Generals, the Lord of All Demons said, "After we take the dragon soul, I will rearrange the seating order based on merit."

"If anyone is dissatisfied with the current seating order, we will discuss it after we take the dragon soul… Does anyone have any objections, brothers?"

The Lord of All Demons released a major news with a casual tone.

In an instant, all the evil demons on the Magic Temple became excited.

They all stood up and bowed, saying, "We all listen to the orders of the Demon Lord! No more words needed!"

"Good!" The Lord of All Demons stood up and said, "With your help, I believe that this dragon soul will surely belong to the Green Hell Cave!"

On the Magic Temple, after the oath-taking ceremony, the demons left to mobilize and prepare for tomorrow's siege.

After the meeting dispersed, the Lord of All Demons walked in the midst of the mountain stream, watching the scenes of rising demon qi around him, and said to Xiao Juechen beside him.

"Is there any news from the Heavenly Demon Lord's side?"

The departure of the Wolf God's daughter with the Heavenly Demon Lord is the biggest concern in the mind of the Lord of All Demons.

After all, the Heavenly Demon Lord will have to face the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain.

Even though the Lord of All Demons knew that the Heavenly Demon Lord had an extraordinary origin and was an ancient demon from the ancient era, and was also an acquaintance of Lian Cangqing, he couldn't help but feel uneasy at the thought of the Heavenly Demon Lord facing the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain, no matter how powerful he was.

Regarding this, Xiao Juechen said, "After the evil lord left, there has been no news from him. However, according to the reports of the scouts in Yanjing City, the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain, who arrived at Yanjing City recently, suddenly left the city today and it is still unknown where he went, as he hasn't returned yet."

Xiao Juechen said, "Moreover, when the Wolf God left, he took his sword servant Xiao Ai with him. Both of them left in a hurry and the wizards of Yanjing City didn't even have the chance to bid them farewell."

Xiao Juechen's report made the Lord of All Demons breathe a slight sigh of relief.

He said, "It seems that the evil lord's plan has begun. However, it is unknown whether its plan can really succeed in trapping the Wolf God…"

Xiao Juechen said, "The evil lord is very powerful and it once faced the Wolf God directly, causing the death of one of its disciples. Therefore, it knows the depth of the Wolf God's strength. It must have complete confidence in speaking out, otherwise it wouldn't take the risk."

"Sigh… I hope so," the Lord of All Demons shook its head, hands behind its back, looking up at the demonic aura that occasionally drifted away in the sky, and said, "After hundreds of years of planning, I have finally witnessed the appearance of the Dragon Soul in this world."

"Even for me, I now can't help feeling a bit at a loss,"

"May everything go smoothly on the evil lord's side, and successfully trap the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain… at least delay it and prevent it from quickly returning to provide support,"

"Otherwise, we really have to give up the vast foundation of the Green Hell Cave."

In the tone of the Lord of All Demons, there was a slight touch of reluctance and regret.
