Chapter 950 Each with their own ulterior motives, the Holy Emperor issues an edict
The Brahman gave a strange smile.
"I was once a top practitioner of the incense-burning path, so I can see this clearly. These demons have been deceived. Once they have gathered enough incense offerings and opened this incense-burning grotto, it will ultimately benefit the mastermind behind the scenes. Especially these twelve statues, they should have been tampered with long ago. Once they are connected, they will eventually become the mastermind's incense offerings, powerless to resist."
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang's eyes showed a strange expression: "Then why do you still need me to establish contact?"
“You are different from them. They have no power to resist because their incense seeds are too weak. But you have the true meaning of Brahma and also possess the true meaning. Therefore, the person behind the scenes cannot forcibly take over your incense. On the contrary, you will become the biggest variable. When that mastermind is harvesting the fruits of his labor, you will give him the most ruthless backstab.”
Brahma's smile widened. This trick might fool others, but it could never fool him, an old man who had studied incense for hundreds of thousands of years.
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang smiled.
If that's the case, the person behind it all must hate me to death. Perfect, I might even be able to profit from it.
With this in mind, he did not hesitate and directly used incense to establish a connection with the statue.
From then on, he would share a portion of the incense offerings he received with the statue, and once the statue was complete, the grotto would be opened.
Seeing Ye Kang's decisiveness, the leader of the Demon God Alliance was also somewhat surprised.
I thought I'd have to use some persuasion, or even threaten him, but to my surprise, he agreed right away.
It's interesting.
He immediately laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist is indeed courageous. This is the right choice. When I become the Demon Emperor, I will certainly not treat you all unfairly. From now on, we thirteen Demon Saints will be of one mind and one branch."
Ye Kang nodded and said, "I wonder how long it will take before the incense offerings for these statues are fully restored?"
The alliance leader waved his hand: "Don't worry, the statue will be completed in no more than three months. It should have been even faster, but unfortunately, those humans on land suddenly caused trouble and their attitude became much tougher, which resulted in fewer temples and shrines for us to worship."
"Oh? In that case, why don't we go and conquer the land again?"
"There's no need for that. We're at a crucial moment. We can wait three months. If we go to fight human martial artists now and something unexpected happens, it will be a loss. Let those humans be arrogant for a few days. Once I become the Demon Emperor, this entire Luoyan Prefecture will become our temple of worship."
The leader of the alliance spoke with a rather heroic tone, as if the throne of the Demon Emperor was already within reach.
Ye Kang naturally wouldn't remind him of anything, he simply said, "Then congratulations in advance to the Alliance Leader."
"Hahahaha! Fellow Daoist Tunchen, I thought you would have difficulty integrating into our group, but I underestimated you. You also have the potential to become a Demon Emperor. Once my late emperor leads the successor, you will surely have a place in the future!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Alliance Leader. I will now return to continue my cultivation and collect offerings."
"Well, that's fine too."
Ye Kang bowed respectfully, then left the trench and swam out of the seabed.
As the alliance leader watched Ye Kang's retreating figure, a cold smile gradually crept across his face.
"I thought he was clever, but I didn't expect him to be a fool blinded by greed. You think a mere bloodline oath can work on the Demon Emperor? The former emperor influencing the latter? What a joke! Why would I cultivate a few rivals for myself? Once I become emperor, I will devour you all first."
……
"These Thirteen Islands are getting more and more interesting; they actually hide so many secrets in secret."
After swimming out of the sea, Ye Kang revealed a cold smile, already looking forward to the opening of the Incense Cave in three months.
He was curious to know who the mastermind behind it all was.
He set up a scheme to deceive so many demons and also harmed the entire Luoyan Prefecture, all for his own sake to achieve the Great Dao of Incense Offering and advance to the Dao Integration Realm.
He is indeed a respectable seeker of the Way, but unfortunately, I absolutely cannot let him succeed.
Because I have also cultivated the path of incense offerings, this is a struggle for the Dao, which requires no reason and only has the possibility of life or death.
Soon, Ye Kang returned to Tinglang Island.
He then summoned the lesser demons and instructed them to take good care of the humans on the island, to provide them with offerings, and not to oppress them.
After finishing all this, he was preparing to continue his seclusion to consolidate his cultivation when suddenly, a message came from a jade slip on his body.
Ye Kang took out a jade slip, which contained only four characters.
"Urgent order: Return immediately."
"what?"
Ye Kang was stunned. This jade slip belonged to General Luo, which meant that the general was personally summoning him back, and it was extremely urgent.
Ye Kang naturally dared not be negligent, and quickly set up some methods to cover the dojo with an array, pretending that he was in it, and then left quietly.
Half a day later, Ye Kang returned to the Three Offices.
He went straight to the General's Mansion and met with Lokilin.
"General, what brings you here?"
Just as Luo Qilin was about to speak, he sensed Ye Kang's presence and froze instantly.
"You have entered the Yang stage!"
"A fluke, a fluke."
Upon hearing this, Lochlin coughed violently, and it took him a while to regain his composure.
This Ye Kang is really too outrageous. It hasn't been long, and he has already reached the same cultivation level as me.
His attitude became increasingly amiable as he said, "Ye Kang, this time it's not that something happened in Luoyan Prefecture, but rather that Wudu has issued an order, a personal decree from the Holy Emperor."
"what!"
Ye Kang was also stunned. The Holy Emperor himself had issued an edict. This was definitely no small matter!
Sure enough, Lokilin said, "You already knew something about the Empress and Consort Ye's affair, didn't you?"
Ye Kang nodded: "I've heard that the Holy Empress seems to have persuaded the Holy Emperor to demote Consort Ye and order her to return to Wuzhou."
The Night Consort is the Night Maiden. There had been such rumors before, but Ye Kang treated them as strange tales and didn't take them to heart.
Luo Qilin sighed and said, "It seems that the Holy Emperor really values you. The matter has been settled. Ye Fei will carry the Holy Emperor's gifts back to Wuzhou. The journey will naturally be dangerous, and she will need someone to escort her."
After Luo Qilin finished speaking, he quietly looked at Ye Kang.
The latter's expression changed: "Could it be that...!"
Luo Qilin nodded: "You guessed right, it's you, Ye Kang, the Demon Suppression General of Luoyan Prefecture appointed by the Holy Emperor, who will temporarily take on the escort duty to send Ye Fei back to Wuzhou. You don't need to go back to Wudu, just go directly to Xianglin County to wait. Ye Fei will arrive tomorrow."
Wuzhou is located west of Leizhou, separated by a vast sea, making it a long and arduous journey.
Xianglin County is the only route, and the border is located within the county.
Ye Kang was immediately taken aback.
"How could this happen? If I leave, who will lead the Demon Suppression Division?"
Lokilin shook his head: "Don't worry, your old friend, Shen Guili of Lingquan County, will take over your position as the Demon Suppression General."
"General Shen! How could it be him!"
"Because he's about to be promoted, he's just here as a temporary measure. Once you come back, he'll be officially promoted."
