Chapter 1704: Chapter 764: Demon King’s Demon Core

The Tang Family has submitted to the Huangquan Team?

It was like a bolt from the blue, instantly leaving Alliance Leader Ning and Nian Wu Venerable in a state of shock.

Alliance Leader Ning was much more composed, although he was extremely dissatisfied deep down, he managed to force out a slight smile.

"Tang Ancestor has made quite an unexpected decision. But perhaps Tang Family Master should reconsider, after all, the Tang family is quite large..."

"Thank you for the reminder, Alliance Leader. I have thought it through very clearly. From now on, Captain Ye is my master. Furthermore, the Merit Points obtained by the two representative teams of the Tang family in this Jiu Provinces Hunting will also be attributed to the Huangquan Team. Alliance Leader Ning shouldn’t have any objections to that, right?"

Tang Ancestor waved his hand, indicating his decision was firm.

The Tang Family had a vast foundation in Ancient Nine Provinces, particularly with their exclusive Divine Power Liquid, which had gathered a group of Divine Power Realm experts under their banner.

Even within the Jiu Provinces Alliance, many teams looked up to Tang Ancestor, as evident from the fact that when Tang Ancestor acted publicly at the Jiu Provinces Main Camp, no one dared to stop him.

This submission of Tang Ancestor meant that many Demon Hunters and small to medium-sized forces followed suit, submitting to the Huangquan Team?

The Huangquan Team was satisfactory, but Ye Lingyue and Di Shen were dual cultivation partners. Di Shen now had considerable influence in the Jiu Provinces Alliance, coupled with the support of the Tang Family, as well as Di Shen’s earlier disdainful attitude towards him, Alliance Leader Ning was already worried.

Compared to Alliance Leader Ning, Nian Wu Venerable had far less composure. He pulled a long face and gave Ye Lingyue a ruthless glare.

"Since that’s the case, congratulations, Captain Ye, with Tang Ancestor’s assistance, you will certainly be like a tiger with wings. I invite Captain Ye and everyone to follow me back to the main tent. I have already ordered the Jin Family to come over. Hopefully, everyone can explain in detail what occurred in the Tongtian Tribe."

Alliance Leader Ning’s smile became even more forced, but in front of everyone, he couldn’t deliberately make things difficult for Ye Lingyue.

The group then proceeded to the main tent.

Jin Mu and Ye Lingyue explained the events in the Tongtian Tribe.

Alliance Leader Ning had no objections to the matter of the Senluo Ghost Fruit King being damaged, but when everyone heard that the Demon King Tongtian was killed by the Wuling Team’s Wuyue, many in the Jin Family’s representative team showed envious expressions.

Initially, it was assumed that even if the trip to the Tongtian Tribe ended with the Demon King being slain, it would surely be the doing of Di Shen, Xi Jiuye, or the two Great Divine Power Realm figures of the Tang Family. Who would have expected it to be a nobody like Wuyue who took the opportunity?

Not to mention other achievements, just slaying the Demon King earned them a million Merit Points.

Moreover, the Demon King Tongtian was a seasoned Demon King, and the calculation of Merit Points for slaying him had yet to be fully assessed by the Jiu Provinces Alliance.

One thing was certain, Wuyue would become one of the hottest names on the Jiu Provinces Earth List because of this slaying, and the Wuling Team would greatly benefit, advancing to a first-tier or even surpassing that status.

Unless someone could slay another Demon King or take down a Demon Emperor-level entity, this Jiu Provinces Hunting would be undoubtedly concluded, with the champion destined to be none other than the Wuling Team.

Nian Wu Venerable immediately glanced at Alliance Leader Ning.

Understanding his cue, Alliance Leader Ning asked.

"Is the Demon King Tongtian really dead? And what about his Demon Core?"

That was a Demon King-level Demon Core, used to refine a Demon Essence Pill. For experts like Alliance Leader Ning, consuming it could very likely elevate them to the Void Realm, even if not attaining godhood, they could become a ruler of Ancient Nine Provinces.

Wuyue hesitated for a moment and glanced at Ye Lingyue.

Foreseeing today’s situation, Ye Lingyue nodded encouragingly at her.

Only then did Wuyue speak.

"I feared for the safety of the Demon Core, so I entrusted it to Captain Ye for safekeeping."

Ye Lingyue calmly retrieved the Demon Core of the Demon King Tongtian.

The Demon Core of the Demon King Tongtian, the size of a pigeon egg, was a Demon King Green Elixir.

Despite the Demon King Tongtian being long dead, the Demon Core was imbued with strands of abundant demonic power accumulated over hundreds of years.

On seeing the Demon King Green Elixir, both Little White Tiger and Alliance Leader Ning couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.

Foolish, both inwardly cursed.

Such a precious thing as a Demon King Demon Core should never be casually entrusted to others for safekeeping.

Aren’t you afraid that conniving Ye might swallow it whole?

Ye Lingyue however remained completely undisturbed, with the Qian Cauldron in her possession, a heaven-defying treasure, she had long ignored the Senluo Ghost Fruit King, let alone the Demon Core of the Demon King Tongtian.

"Miss Wu, do you have any plans for this Demon Core? As you know, the Jiu Provinces Alliance accepts Demon Cores in exchange for corresponding Merit Points. Alternatively, you could use this precious Demon Essence Pill to secure a position as Hall Master in the Jiu Provinces Alliance."

Ning Que was quite desirous of this Demon King Demon Core.

If not for the Alliance Contract binding him, or had he known in advance of the Demon King Tongtian’s incompetence, Ning Que would have acted himself long ago.

On hearing Ning Que’s words, Little White Tiger craned its neck out from Wuyue’s embrace, biting her palm with its yet unformed milk teeth, trying to signal her not to fall for the man’s ploy, as surely he was not of good character.

Troubling her Little White Rabbit, if she joined the Jiu Provinces Alliance, she would be devoured with not a single bone left.

Giving him the Demon King Demon Core, why not give it to me, perhaps it could help restore some demonic power, though Little White Tiger also knew that chance was minimal.

"Sorry, Alliance Leader Ning, I’ve already given the Demon Core to Captain Ye for disposal. Truthfully, I have a hidden ailment requiring a Demon Essence Pill for healing."

Wuyue didn’t want to hide the fact she lost her parents young and her Dantian was injured, entering Ancient Nine Provinces to avenge her parents, briefly explaining her condition.

Little White Tiger clenched its teeth in distress, feeling pity.

He had no idea his Little White Rabbit was so pitiful, having no parental love or protection before meeting him, surely suffering alone.

She’s so weak, so small, she must have been bullied daily by her senior brothers and sisters. (Wuya Peak’s senior brothers and sisters feeling frustrated in the wind, Demon Emperor, your imagination is overly rich, do you think you’re writing a novel?)

The damned Demon King Tongtian, simply letting him die was too kind.

Their body should’ve been dragged out for a posthumous beating, only that could have avenged his heart’s ire.

Little White Tiger continued fantasizing, secretly vowing to protect Little White Rabbit well, to never let anyone bully her, if bullying were needed, only he should do it!

Wuyue’s explanation left Ning Que, despite his intense desire for the Demon Core, unable to legitimately claim it. But, spending a moment pondering, he hatched another plan.
