Chapter 13458: Deep Background
Ling Xiao looked at Lie Yong's anxious and expectant eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It is indeed easy for me to take them away. But have you ever thought about letting the Demon Soul Beasts rise again? There are not only the two of them on this land, but also many more Demon Soul Beasts waiting for the opportunity to change their fate. If we simply take them away, how will the future of the Demon Soul Beasts be rewritten?"

"Let the Demon Soul Beast rise again?" Lie Yong's face showed a bitter smile, which was mixed with helplessness and sadness. "The Demon Sect has already perished, how can the Demon Soul Beast rise alone?" His voice was low and heavy, as if he was telling a cruel fact that could not be changed.

Ling Xiao's gaze became deep and firm, and he slowly said: "What do you think if I tell you that I am the new Demon Lord of the Demon Sect?" His tone was calm and confident, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

"Demon Lord!" Lie Yong trembled upon hearing this, and a trace of unbelievable shock flashed in his eyes. In the history of the Demon Sect, only the chosen heirs were qualified to be called Demon Lords. And once they officially ascended the throne, they would be honored as Demon Lords. What a glory and status that was.

However, daring to call oneself the Demon Lord is not something that ordinary people can possess. After all, in this era when the power of the Holy Temple is spread all over the world, the people of the Demon Sect have long been a thorn in their eyes and flesh. The Holy Temple hunts down the people of the Demon Sect everywhere, not to mention the core figure like the Demon Lord.

"Don't believe it?" Ling Xiao smiled faintly, his eyes flashing with an indescribable light. He waved his hand lightly, and the legendary world-destroying magic needle appeared in his hand out of thin air. The magic needle emitted a faint black light, as if it contained endless magic power and evil.

It only took a moment of display to make the surrounding air become heavy and depressing.

Afterwards, Ling Xiao gently retracted it, and the World-Destroying Magic Needle disappeared without a trace again. Even with just a glimpse, Lie Yong could deeply feel the terrifying demonic intent coming from the magic needle.

It was an evil force that seemed to be able to devour and destroy everything, which made him feel palpitations and fear involuntarily. At this moment, he seemed to see the former glory and power of the Demon Sect, and also saw the heavy mission and endless challenges that Ling Xiao carried.

"You actually possess the World-Destroying Demon Needle, one of the four great treasures of the Demon Sect. You are indeed the Demon Lord without a doubt. Demon Soul Beast Lieyong, I am here to pay my respects to the Demon Lord!" Lieyong's voice was filled with excitement and awe. He knelt down deeply and buried his head in the dust to show his respect and submission to the Demon Lord.

Ling Xiao stood there quietly, his eyes deep and calm, as if he was examining Lie Yong's sincerity. After a moment, he slowly said, "Since you already believe that I am the Demon Lord, what do you think of the proposal I made earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Lie Yong sighed, his eyes filled with helplessness and worry.

"I'm sure you've seen that the Demonic Soul Beast Village is no longer as glorious as it once was. The number of Demonic Soul Beasts in the village is less than 30,000, and they are all arrogant and look down on others, and their strengths vary greatly.

If this state continues, it will eventually lead to complete extinction. How can I not be anxious? However, my personal ability is really limited, and it is really difficult to change this decadent situation. "

At this point, tears flashed in Lie Yong's eyes, which showed his deep worry and helplessness about the future of the Demon Soul Beast Clan. He knew very well that the fate of the Demon Soul Beast Clan had reached a critical juncture of life and death. Without strong leadership and change, what awaited them would only be endless darkness and destruction.

Immediately, Lie Yong's gaze focused on Ling Xiao again, and his eyes flashed with unprecedented determination and hope.

"Just now, I had the honor of witnessing the talent and terrifying strength of the Lord Demon. At that moment, I suddenly felt that perhaps the rise of the Demon Soul Beast is not an unattainable dream. At the very least, under the leadership of a powerful leader like you, we may still be able to grasp a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, I am afraid that we can only slowly die on this continent and become the dust of history."

Ling Xiao nodded gently, his eyes were gentle and deep, as if he could see into people's hearts.

"As long as you trust me, Lie Yong. Get up first, we still have a lot to discuss. Before I make a decision, I need to understand the true situation of the Demon Soul Beasts, including our resource reserves, treasure collections, the number of warriors, and their composition and strength."

As he spoke, Ling Xiao gently waved his hand, signaling Lie Yong to stand up. Hearing this, Lie Yong quickly stood up, looking respectful and serious. "Master Demon Lord, please feel free to ask me anything. Lie Yong will tell me everything I know."

Ling Xiao nodded slightly and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he slowly spoke, his voice steady and powerful.

"First, I want to know what the current resource reserves of the Demon Soul Beasts are like. Do we have enough resources to support the revival and development of the tribe? Secondly, regarding the treasure collection, do we have some rare items that can enhance our strength? Furthermore, regarding the number and composition of warriors, how much combat power do we currently have available? What is their strength level? These are all key factors that I need to consider when making a plan."

Lie Yong's expression became solemn when he heard this. He knew that the answers to these questions would directly affect the future fate of the Demon Soul Beast Clan. So, he began to carefully recall and sort out the current situation of the Demon Soul Beast Clan, preparing to provide Ling Xiao with the most accurate and comprehensive information.

Lie Yong did not hesitate at all and answered directly and honestly: "The resources of the Demon Soul Beast Village have been almost plundered over the years to maintain the daily needs of the tribe and the consumption of cultivation. But when it comes to treasures, we have indeed accumulated a lot. If we had not been forced to sell many of them in exchange for scarce resources over the years, I am afraid the number would be even more considerable."

There was a hint of pride in his tone, and it was obvious that he still remembered the glorious days of the Demon Soul Beast Clan.

"Let's not talk about anything else. For now, we still have thirty-six treasures of the Bao Yuan Realm level. Each of them contains amazing power, enough to greatly increase the strength of Bao Yuan Realm masters. As for the treasures of the Ning Zhen Realm, there are more than a hundred of them. Each of them is carefully selected and has extraordinary power."

At this point, Lie Yong's expression became slightly gloomy, and he changed the subject: "As for the Heavenly Venerable Artifacts, Earthly Venerable Artifacts, and Human Venerable Artifacts below the Condensation Realm, we have sold almost all of them in order to survive over the years. Now there are only a few left, and we are almost running out of stock..."
