Chapter 913: Chapter 724: Deaths in Succession

At this moment, this lava-filled place was suffused with extreme heat.

In such high temperatures, even someone at the Manifest Saint Realm might scarcely withstand the terrifying heat assault, being instantly reduced to ashes.

Yet for the Flame Emperor, this temperature was just right, perhaps even a bit low.

However, the moment the Plague Emperor appeared, the Flame Emperor’s expression turned incomparably cold.

He raised his finger toward the Plague Emperor, his tone icy as a glacier, dropping the surrounding temperature by several degrees: "You shameless bitch, what made you come to my place? And you say you’re going to another world. Do you have some scheme?"

In the Celestial Demon Realm, intrigue abounded; where there are people, there is strife.

Thus, many demons found each other disagreeable, such as the Flame Emperor.

He extremely disliked the Plague Emperor, not wanting even to see her.

In his view, the Plague Emperor was merely a Celestial Human Realm being with unique abilities. Though her abilities were special, her combat power was notably weak; many demons could easily outmatch her in battle power.

That such a demon could sit at the same level as them was a farce.

Thus, in the eyes of many demons, the Plague Emperor was in a state of extreme disregard.

The Plague Emperor’s face flashed with anger upon hearing this.

She knew very well what her situation was and that all these individuals looked down on her.

However, a sudden thought struck her.

Being a traitor was no big deal; it might even be a good thing.

As a traitor, she could kill those demons who looked down on her one by one and watch them die with her own eyes.

Once they were dead, she would be completely free, and seeing these scornful demons die would feel exceedingly pleasant.

But now was not the time to show these emotions; her priority was to deceive the Flame Emperor.

Since she decided to be a traitor, she would start with someone she hated the most.

Now, she hated the Flame Emperor the most.

The Plague Emperor suppressed her anger and said through clenched teeth, "Do you really think I wanted to come looking for you? If it weren’t a last resort, I’d never come. Do you want to cooperate with me or not? If not, I’ll leave. Plenty of other demons want to work with me."

With these words, the Plague Emperor turned to leave the place.

Her demeanor and actions were as truthful as could be.

At this, the Flame Emperor suddenly spoke up, "Wait."

As these words fell, the Plague Emperor paused slightly in her steps but didn’t turn around, casting a cold glance at the Flame Emperor.

"Speak, you have a chance to talk now. If not, I’ll be off, and you won’t get another word in."

The Flame Emperor pondered for a moment, slowly saying, "The cooperation you mentioned, I’m actually interested in. If you don’t mind explaining, who knows, we might come to an agreement that’s beneficial for both of us."

The Flame Emperor wouldn’t agree to anything else nor would he ask her to stay, given his disdain for the Plague Emperor from deep within.

But this involved destroying other worlds, which aroused different thoughts in the Flame Emperor.

Regardless, it wouldn’t hurt to hear more.

If the matter was feasible with substantial benefits, cooperating with the Plague Emperor would not be an issue.

In this world, there are no eternal enemies or friends, only ever-tangled interests.

Thus, the Flame Emperor wanted the Plague Emperor to continue.

The Plague Emperor inwardly sneered, realizing that the Flame Emperor had fallen into her trap, before speaking: "You’re aware of the Mechanical Emperor’s disappearance, and you all know where he’s gone. I’ve found the passage there."

"If you’re willing, join me in going there. Given my current abilities, I can’t open that passage alone. Leaving it unused is wasteful; it’s better to find someone to cooperate with and uncover the benefits inside."

The Flame Emperor showed a hint of shock in his eyes: "You actually found the passage? If that’s true, we might consider cooperation."

"But why me?"

Frankly, if the Plague Emperor really found the passage, she could easily collaborate with demons close to her, enhancing her own power.

Yet here the Plague Emperor was, approaching him—a demon who disdained her. This was intriguing.

If there wasn’t more to this, the Flame Emperor wouldn’t believe it.

The Plague Emperor nonchalantly waved her sleeve, saying with indifference: "The demons close to me have ordinary strength, and I don’t wish to involve them. After all, if many participate in piercing the rift, it will diminish the share of benefits we receive."

"You’re strong enough and the nearest to me, it’s only natural for me to seek you out."

Every word explained clearly, but while explaining, the Plague Emperor remained cautious.

Each explanation was deliberately vague.

But she knew very well that, with the Flame Emperor’s nature, he might agree. Despite the Flame Emperor’s outward cold and scheming appearance, his greed was even greater.
