Chapter 1419: Insufficient Vision

"How could humans possibly sense Long Tian's true aura?"

"Long Tian has taken the Ten Thousand Soul Blood Pill refined by the Grand Priest, and his entire body is covered with human aura. How could mere humans detect anything? Is Your Excellency being overly cautious?"

"Elder Tree is right. I also don't believe that there exists such a strong human!"

After a brief silence, the demons began to voice their doubts one after another, their tones filled with confidence. They had never regarded the humans they toyed with as worthy of their attention.

The elderly Grand Priest also stepped forward and bowed, his face showing a confident expression as if everything was under control.

"Your Excellency is wise."

"Indeed, as the leaders have said, Long Tian has taken the divine pill I refined. If anyone could detect his aura, their cultivation must have at least reached the early stage of the Desolate Realm. At that level, they would have already mastered divine abilities, and even among our kind, they would be considered outstanding."

"It's not that I look down on humans, but with their weak foundations, how could they possibly give birth to such an existence?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the demons nodded slightly.

However, the Demon Lord's face remained deep and solemn, exuding an overwhelming aura of authority that silenced the demons, making them dare not speak.

After a few moments of silence.

The Demon Lord finally spoke slowly, revealing the key point.

"The Grand Priest and all of you are correct."

"However, do you remember the monk we saw earlier?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the demons were stunned.

In their minds, the profound and mysterious demeanor of Chen Kunpeng kept surfacing. The confident light in the demons' eyes gradually faded, replaced by a look of awakened doubt.

"The monk?!"

"Yes! That person seemed quite unusual. It's possible he could detect something!"

"How could we have forgotten about him? We almost ruined the whole plan!"

"Damn it! Where did such a human come from?"

Awakened, the demons quickly bowed in apology to the throne.

"Your Excellency is wise!"

"We were careless and nearly made a grave mistake. Please forgive us!"

Witnessing the entire hall bowing in submission, the Demon Lord's eyes gleamed with approval as he nodded.

"It's fine. There's no need for excessive self-reproach."

After the demons slowly rose and focused their attention, he continued, a cold light appearing in his blood-red eyes.

"Now, you should understand my concerns."

"That monk's origins are unknown, but he is unnaturally strong for a human. We must not be the slightest bit careless. Even if he only detects a hint of something unusual, we must prepare in advance. Otherwise, not only will Long Tian's brilliant plan fail, putting him in danger, but the many elites of our kind who have sacrificed themselves will also have died in vain!"

As soon as he spoke, the demons all clasped their fists in unison.

Especially Niu Shadi, whose eyes were filled with a resolute light!

"Please, Your Excellency, instruct us on how to proceed. No matter the cost to assist Long Tian, we are prepared to face death without fear!"

Seeing the demons united, the Demon Lord nodded with satisfaction.

"Good."

"With your current understanding, the revival of our kind is within reach!"

As he spoke, the Demon Lord pondered for a moment, a cold light flickering in his blood-red eyes.

"The plan has reached a critical stage. No mistakes can be allowed."

"Each clan has contributed before, and I will never forget that. Now it is the Black Flood Dragon Clan's turn to do their part!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the demons' eyes widened in shock.

Even someone as slow as Niu Shadi quickly realized what was meant and gulped nervously.

"Gulp..."

"Your Excellency means that by exterminating the Black Flood Dragon Clan, Long Tian's aura will no longer be associated with our demon kind, and he won't be suspected?"

The Demon Lord nodded coldly without responding.

Even so, the demons were even more horrified. Niu Shadi and the other leaders exchanged panicked glances, their faces filled with disbelief.

"This..."

"Wouldn't the cost of exterminating the Black Flood Dragon Clan be too heavy?"

"Long Tian has already endured humiliation and made great contributions to our kind. Now, to annihilate the Black Flood Dragon Clan... isn't that going too far..."

"Yes, what if Long Tian harbors resentment, causing the grand plan to fail? What then?"

Whispers of discussion spread through the demon hall, and the demons began to hesitate and feel conflicted.

Although they had fought for their own clan's interests in the past, even resorting to killing each other, it was driven by their brutal nature, merely seeking more resources. After all, they were all demons, and the thought of exterminating another clan was something they couldn't bear to do.

Just as the unity of the demons was about to dissolve.

The Demon Lord's cold eyes swept across the hall, and a terrifying aura erupted, intimidating all the demons!

"Shallow!"

"To help Long Tian successfully infiltrate the human world, sacrifices are inevitable. You have all contributed to the grand plan, and the Black Flood Dragon Clan must do the same."

"Now is the critical moment. The enemy may also have powerful beings. To deceive them, we must make the act convincing. Without paying a sufficient price, how can we hope to deceive the heavens?"

"Compared to our grand plan of ruling the universe, what does the extermination of the Black Flood Dragon Clan matter? Besides, we still have Long Tian. The Black Flood Dragon bloodline will not be extinguished! Once the grand plan succeeds, the name of the Black Flood Dragon Clan will be engraved on the Black Tower's Monument of Merit, remembered for generations to come. Their descendants will also enjoy the eternal blessings of the Black Spring Divine Bath. Isn't this supreme honor and opportunity enough?"

"Shame on you, as leaders of your respective clans, for having such shallow vision. With such limited perspective, how can our kind dominate the universe in the future?"

After this stern rebuke, the demons reluctantly accepted.

"Your Excellency is absolutely right!"

"To contribute to our grand plan is the highest honor. The Black Flood Dragon Clan will be remembered on the Monument of Merit, and they will die without regret!"

"Yes, our vision is indeed too narrow. Long Tian must have long been prepared and will not hinder the grand plan!"

"We are ashamed!"

"In that case, let me, Old Niu, take action and send the Black Flood Dragon Clan to fulfill their great duty!"

With the grand plan decided, Niu Shadi led his followers away.

Soon after, the Black Flood Dragon Clan was completely annihilated. Following the Demon Lord's orders, the Ox Demon Clan sent their members disguised as humans to spread the news throughout the galaxy, and it quickly reached the most important planet, Cloud Star.

That day, the sky was clear and the air fresh.

The newly rebuilt Star Lord's Mansion in Luohai City was even more magnificent and elegant than before. Long Tian sat on the jade chair in the grand hall, enjoying a moment of peace.

After drinking a cup of immortal wine, a smile appeared on his handsome face.

From his practiced demeanor and bearing, it seemed he had grown accustomed to his role as the Star Lord and was quite satisfied with his current situation.

Just then.

The Four Star God Guards entered as usual, reporting on recent major events.

Everything was going smoothly.

Long Tian sat calmly with a smile, playing the role of the Star Lord with impeccable grace and composure, leaving no room for doubt.

Until finally, someone mentioned the rumors they had heard.

"Star Lord."

"Rumors say that the demons have made a major move. They discovered a battle with the Black Flood Dragon Clan in a distant star system, not only annihilating the Black Flood Dragon Clan but also seizing many resources."

"It's likely that the demons will soon attack other star systems. We..."

Hearing this, Long Tian's pupils contracted sharply, and he lost his composure, his eyes widening in shock.

"What?!"

At that moment.

Long Tian's acting suddenly faltered. The smile on his face vanished, replaced by a flushed complexion and anxious eyes, revealing the shock in his heart.

The Star God Guards seemed startled as well, stammering in response.

"My Lord...?"

"Rumors say that the demons have exterminated some Black Flood Dragon Clan and seized many resources. Their wolfish ambitions are clear! It seems those brutal demons will soon attack the other star systems!"

Hearing this, Long Tian stood up in shock!

"Impossible..."

"Say it again! Where did this news come from? Is it reliable?"

The Star God Guards exchanged glances, and one of them bowed and responded.

"Today, while patrolling Cloud Star, we encountered an Ox Demon. He told us everything and even boasted that they would soon conquer Cloud Star. Given his arrogant demeanor, it's likely true."

As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of light emerged from the Star God Guard's ring.

When the light faded, a bull's head lay on the ground.

It was indeed an Ox Demon!

Seeing the evidence on the ground, Long Tian's face alternated between green and red. He had already guessed some of the truth, and his heart was filled with indescribable emotions.

Thinking that his clan had been completely exterminated.

Long Tian's eyes suddenly filled with bloodshot veins, and his fists clenched involuntarily!

"This!"

"Bastards! Bastards!"

"How dare they do this? I, Long Tian, will never coexist with the demons!!!"

His roar shook the heavens, and the winds and clouds changed color.

For a moment, his furious roar, filled with boundless killing intent, spread throughout Luohai City. Countless cultivators looked up at the sky, marveling at the Star Lord's wrath and discussing it fervently.
