Chapter 1462 - 1442: The Three Demon City Lords Each Harbor Their Own Schemes

Yang Xiao and the Dark Web formed an alliance, joining the Dark Web and becoming Mr. Eight. The news of Yang Xiao's decisive battle with Ba Tianhu, slaughtering twenty thousand elite guards of Ba Tianhu, and Mr. Master defeating Ba Tianhu, spread like a whirlwind quickly across the entire Central Continent.

Now, everyone in the Central Continent is discussing this earth-shattering event.

"How is Yang Xiao so amazing? I heard he's only been in Central Continent for about a year, and he has already reached the point of confronting Ba Tianhu. Incredible!"

"Yang Xiao is indeed incredible. First, he disrupted the business of the Vulture Chamber of Commerce, then he killed Ba Tianhu's Deputy City Lord Chi Qing, joined the Dark Web next, and immediately fought Ba Tianhu. This man is like he's put on cheat mode."

"Can't mess with him, can't mess with him. In the future, we should all avoid bothering Yang Xiao. If nothing else, just the Dark Web behind him is not something we can provoke."

"I'm very curious now, will Ba Tianhu swallow this anger?"

"Yes, when has Ba Tianhu, one of the three Demon City Lords of the Central Continent, ever suffered such humiliation?"

"If he doesn't swallow it, then what? Yang Xiao now has the support of the Dark Web, Ba Tianhu can only sigh!"

...

Within Sky Tiger City, Ba Tianhu had been feeling depressed and stayed behind closed doors this whole time.

The war with Yang Xiao, although not a complete defeat, had caused him to lose face.

Ba Tianhu, a dignified figure, one of the three Demon City Lords of the Central Continent, led thirty thousand into attacking Yang Xiao's City of Hope, only to return defeated.

Ba Tianhu originally thought about gathering more guards to fight Yang Xiao again, but once he considered Mr. Master from the Dark Web, he hesitated.

Think Tank Yuri said something that Ba Tianhu found quite reasonable.

"Boss, we have only lost twenty thousand elite guards and a bit of face. If we continue to fight Yang Xiao and Mr. Master, you have seen their power. Yang Xiao now has the support of the Dark Web, and tens of thousands of demon beasts. Even if we barely defeat Yang Xiao, we'll probably kill a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of our own, and we won't just lose face then, we might lose our lives.

Boss, think three times!"

Ba Tianhu heavily exhaled a breath of frustration, said,

"Think Tank, hurry up and investigate the background of Mr. Master for me, I always felt that this person is quite bizarre."

Half a month later, Think Tank Yuri hurriedly came and found Ba Tianhu.

When Ba Tianhu saw Think Tank Yuri, he immediately asked:

"Think Tank, I sent you to investigate the background of Mr. Master from the Dark Web, what did you find?"

"Reporting, Boss, during this time, we used almost all our resources to investigate Mr. Master from the Dark Web, and only got a vague piece of information which greatly shocked me."

"What information? Quickly tell me?"

"The background of Mr. Master from the Dark Web is indeed not simple, he is likely from the Netherworld Clan."

Ba Tianhu was shocked at heart upon hearing this,

"Netherworld Clan?"

"Yes, the Netherworld Clan is the group Thanos Saint belongs to. There has never been an immigrant from the Netherworld Clan in our Central Continent."

"Is the information reliable?"

"It's now mostly confirmed. I'm still having people investigate further, probably will have more detailed information soon."

Upon hearing this, Ba Tianhu remained silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said:

"Now that you mention it, it does occur to me, back when Mr. Master and I had our duel, he never used his Beast Soul from beginning to end, looking back, it indeed seems quite odd.

Logically speaking, if Mr. Master had used his Beast Soul against me, he would have had a greater advantage, but he never displayed his Beast Soul.

If he really is from the Netherworld Clan, he's probably afraid that using the Beast Soul would reveal his true identity to me."

"If Mr. Master really is from the Netherworld Clan, based on his current Genetic Evolution Level, he is already above Emperor Middle Level, he must hold a considerable position of power within the Netherworld Clan. I've already arranged for someone to investigate in the Netherworld Clan's territory, results should come soon."

Ba Tianhu nodded,

"Fortunately, I didn't continue the war with Yang Xiao. If Mr. Master really is from the Netherworld Clan, the Central Continent might undergo a massive change!"

Think Tank Yuri was taken aback, and said:

"Should we inform Guo Jianglong and the pangolin about this?"

Ba Tianhu resolutely waved his hand,

"No need, this is to be strictly confidential except to me, don't tell anyone else, this time I think we should convene a three-way meeting, invite Guo Jianglong and the pangolin, and discuss how to eliminate Yang Xiao."

Yuri was shocked,

"Boss, didn't you just say we shouldn't go to war with Mr. Master? Why the sudden change of heart?"

"Haha, foolish, I certainly won't go to war with the Dark Web at the moment, but that doesn't stop me from dragging Guo Jianglong and the pangolin into a war against the Dark Web, haha…."

...

In the northern icefield, there is a city called Tongtian City.

Guo Jianglong, one of the three Demon City Lords of the Central Continent, is the City Lord of Tongtian City, leading over forty surrounding cities, has become the leader of the northern part of the Central Continent.

At this moment, within the City Lord's Mansion in Tongtian City, Guo Jianglong was listening to a report from his subordinate about the duel between Yang Xiao and Ba Tianhu.

"..., Boss, that's how it all happened, I heard now Ba Tianhu holed up in Sky Tiger City without any movement, hasn't gathered the guard team to seek revenge on Yang Xiao,

Boss, why do I feel that Ba Tianhu has changed, has become cowardly?"

Guo Jianglong snorted coldly, said:

"You understand nothing, Ba Tianhu may seem hot-tempered, but in fact, he is not particularly impulsive, he is quite calm sometimes,

The reason he doesn't seek revenge against Yang Xiao now is naturally because of some difficulty he's encountered. If my guess is correct, he likely has concerns about Mr. Master behind Yang Xiao."

"Boss, is Mr. Master from the Dark Web really that formidable? Mr. Master actually defeated Ba Tianhu, but why didn't Mr. Master kill Bai Tianhu then?"

Guo Jianglong contemplated for a moment, said:

"I'm not clear on the specific situation at the time, hard to judge, however, I'm quite pleased to see Ba Tianhu and the Dark Web fight. When they are both severely weakened, that will be our perfect opportunity to invade Ba Tianhu's territory, then the Central Continent will be divided between the pangolin and me, haha…."

...

In the western part of the Central Continent, there is a city called Golden Armor City, and its City Lord is the pangolin, one of the three Demon City Lords.

The pangolin and Guo Jianglong share the same thought, coldly observing the fight between Ba Tianhu and the Dark Web.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as Ba Tianhu and the Dark Web go to full-scale war, fighting to the death, then we have the chance to join forces with Guo Jianglong to unify the entire Central Continent,

Ba Tianhu, go for it, I have faith in you!

Haha...."
