Chapter 2280: Action at All Costs

When War Tiger and the other demons heard these words, they of course could only heavily accept the orders... but inside, War Tiger was filled with turmoil.

What exactly is happening?

Half a moment later, a top-level Emperor Demon emerged.

He reported heavily to Chai Jiu: "Great Gate Master, Lord Chai Gong said that Ying Sanmeng and Teng Yue are undergoing the inheritance... presently, he can’t break the inheritance shield and can only summon all prisoners for a united action."

The top-level Emperor Demon detailed the situation, including the location of the little canyon and so on.

This was exactly the reply Chai Gong sent to the demons after receiving the message.

Boom...

And with this top-level Emperor Demon’s report, almost all senior members of the Cangyu Sect felt chills down their spines; Ying Sanmeng and Teng Yue could actually receive the first Master of Yu Vein’s inheritance.

This time, something big is really going to happen.

Chai Jiu said sinisterly, "Return and relay my orders; at all costs, eliminate Ying Sanmeng and Teng Yue."

When the top-level Emperor Demon heard these words, he could only heavily respond in agreement and turned back to the prison.

At this point, the atmosphere outside the walls was extremely oppressive.

Elder Bu Tun suddenly approached Chai Jiu and whispered, "Great Gate Master, isn’t killing both of them a bit too extreme? If they get the first Master of Yu Vein’s inheritance, they might just break through..."

Before he could finish, Chai Jiu heavily interrupted, "We can’t take that risk; they must be killed."

He knew exactly what Bu Tun meant—it would be better to capture them alive. If Ying Sanmeng obtains the inheritance, they might uncover the ultimate secret of Divine Demon Island, which has always been Cangyu Sect’s dream.

But Chai Jiu didn’t dare to gamble. He couldn’t enter the prison; even if he used the War Puppet Body, he wouldn’t dare. If he did, the Demon Puppet would act on its own and strike down his body.

Throughout history, Cangyu Sect had tried all sorts of methods, yet they still couldn’t handle the Demon Puppet.

The situation inside the prison was beyond his control.

What if Ying Sanmeng gets the inheritance and can control Divine Demon Island directly? Then it would be their death.

They must be eliminated before they complete the inheritance.

Upon hearing this, Bu Tun thought it over and could only step back, realizing he had a point.

At the same time, an elder of the Cang Lineage said sinisterly, "If we don’t get the secrets of the Divine Demon Island, then Yu Vein won’t either."

Outside the walls, Elder Ruan and other Outer Sect Elders still didn’t know what was going on.

They could only watch helplessly as the Great Gate Master and the others had their private discussions in the distance.

At this time, Elder Liu and the other two approached Elder Ruan with a laugh, "Elder Ruan, maybe you’re about to face an unexpected turn."

Upon hearing this, the corners of Elder Ruan’s mouth twitched repeatedly.

He knew what Elder Liu and the other two meant, precisely that digging out the Hei Lin Demon might not be a good thing. However, Elder Ruan still whispered back, "It’s obviously about the Master of Yu Vein; the Great Gate Master hasn’t even mentioned the Hei Lin Demon."

Although he said this, Elder Ruan was still extremely nervous inside.

Is the Hei Lin Demon alive or dead now? Is it related to the sudden outbreak?

...

Inside the prison, around the little canyon...

The Hei Lin Demon, Sikong Jing, whom Elder Ruan was worried about, was still beside Chai Gong at this time. He had, of course, seen Chai Gong receive the demons’ messages and knew that Chai Jiu and the other Cangyu high-levels had arrived at Divine Demon Island.

He also knew that Chai Jiu was deploying demons inside for contact, reconnaissance, and issuing orders, etc.

By now, a large number of prisoners had been summoned. Sikong Jing was secretly observing these prisoners and quickly noticed that they were divided into several factions, each led by a few powerful prisoners.

The next moment... Whoosh!

Chai Gong received a message once again; it was Chai Jiu’s command: at all costs.

He crumbled the paper into fragments and then slowly looked around at all the prisoners, coldly saying, "Our Great Gate Master has ordered, at all costs, to eliminate the two inside. Now, everyone must act with me."

As soon as the words were spoken... Puff!

A prisoner, an old man with just a few strands of white hair, laughed disdainfully and said indifferently, "Chai Gong, why should we listen to you? Why should we do this at all costs? Shouldn’t we talk about it among ourselves?"

This elder happened to be the commander of a certain powerful prisoner faction.

Although Death Soldiers had made various promises before, and while most prisoners had come, the old man wasn’t that easy to command.

The next moment, another prisoner leader followed with a sly chuckle, saying, "Exactly, we were locked up by your Cangyu Sect. We can’t even leave. Aren’t your promises still a bit too few?"

Although Death Soldiers made them various promises before, they naturally wanted more.

A third prisoner leader stepped out, shrugging, "We can’t even get out, so wanting too much is useless. If you want us to do our best, show us hope for escape."

As the prisoner leaders spoke, Chai Gong’s face grew increasingly ugly.

At this time...

Another Death Soldier from Cangyu Sect stepped out heavily, snorting coldly, "If you don’t dare to act this time, there will really be no hope of escape. Our Great Gate Master will also go all out and kill every one of you here."

"Don’t doubt our determination. Our Great Gate Master can have demons form a Soldier Killing Array..."

No additional promises were made, only threats of death to these prisoners.

Upon hearing this, the three prisoner leaders frowned.

They were indeed afraid of being killed. Besides being able to have many demons enter to form a Soldier Killing Array, Cangyu Sect could also allow some elders at the Peak of Holy Martial Stage, who were about to die, to enter the prison.

After all, they were going to die anyhow, and since they hadn’t reached the Divine Martial Stage, these Holy Martial elders naturally weren’t afraid of not being able to come out.

At this time, Chai Gong followed up coldly, "Given the current situation, even our Great Gate Master has personally come to Divine Demon Island. Don’t think you can get lucky; you have received benefits, now follow our orders, or don’t force us to kill you all thoroughly."

The prisoner leaders looked at each other, their eyes filled with uncertainty.

Watching the situation, Sikong Jing continued to quietly observe, taking no action at the moment.

He maintained a relaxed attitude, not caring whether the prisoners would join forces to attack Ying Sanmeng and Teng Yue.

What Sikong Jing needed to ensure now was that no one could break the inheritance.

Even if the prisoners joined forces, even if they could really break the shield of Ying Beitong’s inheritance, Sikong Jing could have the Demon Puppet secretly add another shield.

Currently, what he was contemplating was...

How to change the pattern of the Cangyu Sect after Ying Sanmeng and Teng Yue completed the inheritance.

Sikong Jing could indeed command the Demon Puppet to eliminate Chai Gong and others in secret, or even rid of all the prisoners... yet due to the setting by Black Demon, Sikong Jing’s commands to the Demon Puppet were limited to within the prison.

If he killed Chai Gong and others now, the Great Gate Master Chai Jiu would think Ying Sanmeng and Teng Yue did it.

They would immediately slaughter all Yu Vein members in Cangyu Sect.

If that happened, Ying Sanmeng and Teng Yue would only see a bloody scene upon their escape from the prison, even after receiving the inheritance, so Sikong Jing couldn’t be rash. He needed to proceed step by step...

Finally, the prisoner leaders in hesitation nodded their heads in agreement.

One of the prisoner leaders said slowly, "Alright, we can follow your lead, and attack the light shield around the little canyon, but the benefits you promised us beforehand must be doubled."

In this regard, Chai Gong and the other Death Soldiers, eager to quickly interrupt the inheritance, agreed without hesitation.

Just as all the prisoners prepared to join forces... the situation shifted again when a Blood Qi Middle-aged suddenly appeared beside one of the prisoner leaders and whispered a few words.
