Chapter 1188 - 455: Meeting of the Seven Clans
"Report—"
"Your Majesty, King of Greed, dire news continues from the demons stationed at the border!"
"One of the Seven Virtues, ’Diligence,’ has been slaughtering our vassals massively, and General Zhuang Yue has died a bloody death!"
In the Kingdom of Greed, before the throne, all the demons prostrated themselves, trembling with fear.
On the throne, the New King of Greed, Zhuang Lingchun, asked coldly and detachedly,
"Why does Diligence repeatedly attack our Kingdom of Greed?"
"He is already the strongest openly among the Human Race. Both the King of Pride and the King of Envy are trying every means to kill him!"
"Suddenly taking such risks must have a reason. Have you all figured it out?"
"Your Majesty, King of Greed, I have no evidence and dare not assert..."
An old demon bowed his head, his voice trembling as he said,
"But if I’m not mistaken, it’s very likely that ’Temperance’ has found a new master, who just appeared in our Kingdom of Greed..."
"Diligence acts not for anything else but to rescue the descendant of the Merciful Ancestor, thus revealing his whereabouts..."
"Old man, how confident are you?"
Zhuang Lingchun asked coldly.
"Reporting to the king, seventy percent."
The old demon was so fearful that his teeth chattered, feeling that death was only a step away.
Who knew, Zhuang Lingchun narrowed his eyes, and the invisible murderous intent slowly faded,
"It better be so."
"The current situation of the Seven Nations differs from before. Any regression in national power is akin to digging one’s own grave."
Commander Zhuang Chuan Xia, on the secondary throne, shouted loudly,
"Listen carefully to my sister’s words!"
"Among the Seven Nations, Pride, Envy, and Gluttony still rank as the top three leaders."
"Laziness also has strong overall strength, but their inherent idleness means they need no concern."
"However, Rage has fallen drastically, almost to the bottom."
"Whereas Lust has overtaken Rage, shedding its previous status and nearly keeping pace with us... My Kingdom of Greed feels an unprecedented sense of crisis. Whoever dares to take this lightly, don’t blame me for flaying them alive!"
"Commander Chuan Xia, do not demean yourself!"
A middle-aged Demon King roared in a low voice,
"No matter how prosperous the Land of Lust is, it’s just two Primordial Enchanting Demons!"
"In terms of real strength, if my Kingdom of Greed strikes with full force, all they can do is deploy their Beauty Demon Stratagem, merely throwing a magic trick!"
"Oh?"
Primordial Ruling Demon, Zhuang Chuan Xia, raised an eyebrow, unable to resist scoffing,
"General Biao, do you look down on the Principle of Lust that much?"
"The Land of Lust has indeed deteriorated quite a bit in recent epochs."
"Going back to the Ancient Era, how glorious and prosperous were they?"
"Don’t assume they are all seductive and cheap tramps! Aegi Mogo hardly matters, not worth mentioning!"
"That Aegifura, do I need to list how formidable the forces under her command are?"
Inside the magnificent palace, the demons fell silent.
Zhuang Chuan Xia was relentless, scolding with a bent demonic finger,
"To this day, in the second epoch of the New Era, the year 2023, four hundred years have passed since Aegi Rosie’s demise."
"This newly ascended King of Lust, with a mysterious past, is rumored to have once survived outside the Realm of Desire."
"Upon her return, she directly awakened divinity, Rank 1. How formidable is that?"
"Moreover, although her own body is weak,"
"it’s very likely that the Divine Trace Lineage of another race is with her. This is the fundamental reason she supports the Land of Lust, standing unshakably!"
"Greed, Envy, Rage—how many demons have we sent secretly to spy on her? Has even one returned?"
"How did she obtain the Wings of Rage? How did Rage King Meltu die? The New Wrathful King MAI Erxun went to the Land of Lust, so why did he come out looking so disheveled? Aren’t these clues enough to warrant attention?"
An extremely furious Zhuang Chuan Xia shattered a stone slab with one foot.
The middle-aged Demon King, allowing stone fragments to crumble onto his face, with streaks of demon blood flowing down, dared not retort.
"Chuan Xia, why lash out at these fools?"
Zhuang Lingchun spoke indifferently, and in the empty great hall, only her voice echoed,
"Lust may be strong but poses no serious threat to us for now."
"What concerns me more are the Human Race, and following the Seven Virtues, the followers of the Gray Sun God Church have sprouted up like bamboo after a spring rain."
"In just a few hundred years, they have grown to such a scale. If treated as mere ants, we also risk destroying our foundation."
"Sister, I suspect the Gray Sun God Church is in cahoots with the Land of Lust!"
Zhuang Chuan Xia hesitated for a moment, then respectfully said,
"Some of the Human Race who fled have accidentally entered the Land of Lust, not only were they not captured, but they also settled down and gradually developed into villages."
"This isn’t an isolated case; many clues indicate that Aegifura and Aegi Mogo, those two scoundrels, are friendly with the Human Race!"
"Strong as Diligence, active as Justice, they won’t attack the Land of Lust, not even to harass, which in itself is a matter for magical contemplation!"
"Hmm, I’ve also heard of this."
Zhuang Lingchun said indifferently,
"The King of Envy once talked to me. The Gray Sun God Church neither appeared earlier nor later; why did it begin to show its edge just after the Land of Lust changed its ruler?"
"That new King of Lust, with what virtues and capabilities, governs a country steady as a mountain, with neither a soldier nor a Demon Marshal below her who does not obey and revere her?"
"Sister, can we seize this opportunity, unite with the other Seven Sins, and annex the Land of Lust?"
"They’ve sold off the Wings of Rage, benefited a lot from the Country of Rage. Instead of letting them profit, it’s better to strengthen us!"
Zhuang Chuan Xia’s eyes lit up, adding fuel to the flames,
"The King of Lust, that whore, stands right at the forefront of controversy."
"We don’t even need to verify the truth of the news, in reality, how we treat the Human Race has no matter. We are demons; kill if we want, eat if we crave, even if we just keep them in pigpens for fun. There aren’t that many rules to follow."
