Chapter 13981 Nothing Can Surpass the Wheel of Cause and Effect

Chapter 13981 Everything is nothing more than the cycle of cause and effect

"Xuantian Temple has already surrendered. They must have realized the situation and no longer dare to be our enemy."

Meanwhile, a portion of the people from the Great Town Dynasty, led by Crown Prince Liu Heng, entered Batian City.

According to reports from the secret guards, Batian City is secretly assembling its army, seemingly preparing for a major battle, likely intending to challenge our Demon Sea.

Although Qiu Haitang's voice was soft, she clearly reported the situation to the Demon King.

The Demon King's eyes, which were originally as deep as an abyss, suddenly turned cold, like the sharp light of a blade suddenly shining in the cold night, revealing a chilling killing intent.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and the mud-covered pebble in his hand instantly turned into dust under the immense pressure, fluttering down in a flurry.

"Chase them! Leave no one alive! I want those who dare to rebel to know that those who oppose my Demon Sea will only face death!"

The Demon King's voice was icy and chilling, as if it came from the deepest hell.

Speaking of Batian City, he slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing through layers of mist as he looked into the distance, his tone carrying a hint of cruelty and disdain: "That Ling Xiao dared to utter such arrogant words, saying that if I were to touch Batian City, he would destroy my Demon Sea. Hmph, I'd like to see what abilities he has that would allow him to destroy my Demon Sea, which has such a deep foundation."

His eyes were full of provocation and contempt, as if Ling Xiao was nothing more than an insignificant ant in his eyes.

Qiu Haitang stood aside, her heart filled with worry.

She hesitated for a moment, then mustered her courage and said, “Your Majesty, in our recent advance into this Great Town Dynasty, we have encountered extremely fierce resistance. The people are filled with fear and hatred for our Demon Sea invasion, and riots of varying degrees have broken out in various places. Lord Shangguan Yue is right; the most urgent task is to appease the people. If we continue this incessant killing, it may incite even greater public anger and cause many unforeseen events. Perhaps we should try to win over those forces with benevolence. We can set up relief points in various places, distributing food and cultivation resources, so that the people can feel our goodwill. In this way, perhaps we can gradually quell their rebellious spirit.”

After hearing this, the Demon King fell into deep thought.

He crossed his arms, his brows furrowed slightly, and a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

After a long silence, he slowly nodded and said, "What you say makes sense. In this world, the best approach is to use both kindness and severity. Simply suppressing with force will only backfire. However, we cannot be lenient with those stubborn and defiant forces. Those who deserve to be killed should be killed as a warning to others."

Having said that, he turned to the powerful figures behind him and commanded in a loud voice, "Pass on my order to form a propaganda team to spread our Demon Sea's ideology throughout the land, so that the people understand that we are not here to invade, but to establish a completely new order. At the same time, strengthen border defenses to prevent other forces from taking advantage of the situation and stabbing us in the back."

Qiu Haitang nodded slightly, just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when another question came to mind. She couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what should we do with those demons who disobey orders and kill indiscriminately? Their burning, killing, and looting have already caused great dissatisfaction among the people. If this continues, it may ruin our important plans."

The Demon King glanced at her coldly, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "My people have endured countless battles and finally won. Can't they even have a good time? What does it matter if a few of those ant-like people die? They're no longer a concern. We in the Demon Sea have always revered strength. As long as we are strong enough, what can those people do to us?"

Qiu Haitang's heart tightened, and she wanted to speak again, but the Demon King impatiently interrupted her: "Do you also want to betray me like Shangguan Yue? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. If you dare to say another word, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"I wouldn't dare, I'll take care of it right away!" Qiu Haitang lowered her head helplessly, her heart filled with bitterness.

She knew perfectly well that if things continued this way, their rule over the Great Town Dynasty would become extremely unstable, and the people's resistance would burn like wildfire, but she dared not go against this demon king.

She could only sigh inwardly, turn around and carry out the Demon King's orders, praying that a turning point would appear so that the situation would not get out of control.

Qiu Haitang, with a respectful expression, clasped her hands in a fist salute, accepted the order, and slowly withdrew.

Once her figure disappeared from sight, the Demon King's eyes sharpened, and he decisively ordered the seven kings to gather.

After all, the seven kings are all influential figures in the Demon Sea, and each of them is the one in charge of the Demon Sea.

Although the Demon King and the Demon King wield more power in the Demon Sea, their words carry immense weight, the other five kings also hold considerable authority, like five towering pillars supporting the various forces within the Demon Sea, and should not be underestimated in the slightest.

The Demon King continued walking steadily down the street.

The streets were deathly silent, like a ghost town shrouded in death.

The bustling and lively scene of the past is long gone, replaced by devastation and endless desolation.

Most of the civilians had been brutally murdered, their blood staining the streets and filling the air with a pungent smell of blood.

Some people, even if they managed to hide at home and think they could escape, were still found by those ferocious demons.

What awaits them is either death or endless humiliation.

Those demons wantonly trampled on the dignity of the human race, treating their lives as worthless as grass.

The entire Demon Suppression City, which originally had a small population, has now fallen into an unprecedented hell, like a living hell.

On the way, you might occasionally encounter a few demons feasting.

They tore at the flesh of humans, their mouths dripping with blood, their faces contorted with a ferocious and satisfied smile. The scene sent chills down one's spine and made one's stomach churn.

The Demon King remained indifferent, ignoring the tragic scene, and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

The city lord's mansion was in a mess; its once luxurious decorations had been completely destroyed.

He slowly sat down at the stone table, where half a moldy steamed bun remained, left behind by a servant from the city lord's mansion.

The Demon King picked up the steamed bun, his eyes filled with indifference, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "In the past, we demons were also oppressed by humans, starving and suffering. Today, they died without cause; it is all just the cycle of cause and effect."

Before long, the five kings appeared out of thin air in the city lord's mansion. They bowed in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized, showing their reverence for the Demon King.

"Where is the Demon King?" The Demon King paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the five kings before asking.

"Your Majesty, the Demon King said he met some interesting people, so he went out to play," the Roc Demon King replied respectfully, raising his head slightly.

The Demon King shook his head helplessly, a hint of doting in his eyes: "They're all around the same age, she really is playful. Oh well, let's leave her be and continue the meeting."
