Talk About Bragging, How Do You Really Have The Qualifications Of The Great Emperor?

Chapter 121: The Sinister King of Shadows: The Price of Betrayal (3200 words)

...

At the same time.

Wang Xiu, who had transformed into the Ghost King, had just left the house for a while.

The communication token rang.

It showed - "Doing Good and Accumulating Virtue Family".

A group chat for all high-ranking members!

Opening it up to take a look.

Administrator [Master of Shadows] posted an announcement: All members above the Protector level, gather at the Temple of Evil immediately! I have something to say!

Great Elder: Understood!

Third Elder: Understood!

Sixth Elder: Understood!

Protector A: Understood!

Protector B: Understood!

...

Hiss!

Suddenly summoning all the high-ranking members of the sect.

Is this a pre-war briefing?

Wang Xiu couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

Master of Shadows, one of the Vice Masters of the Ghost King Sect.

An Astral Projection stage Almighty.

To be honest.

Wang Xiu didn't want to have anything to do with this kind of existence.

The risk was too great.

One wrong move and he could easily be crushed.

But...

Things have come to this!

There's no other way!

...

"Are...everyone here?"

In the cold and gloomy black hall.

A burly figure stood with his back to everyone, hands behind his back.

Underneath the wide cloak, black mist filled the air, filled with a strong ghostly aura, as if countless resentful spirits were crying, howling, making one's scalp tingle.

The surroundings were like a boundless hell.

Intimidating.

The Sinister King of Shadows!

An Astral Projection stage powerhouse.

The scene was silent.

The seductive Snake Enchantress bowed and said in a sweet voice, "Reporting to Master of Shadows, my subordinate, the Thousand-Faced Protector, has not returned yet!"

The Sinister King of Shadows raised an eyebrow, "Hmm?"

The Snake Enchantress said, "He is on his way back now, if nothing unexpected happens, he should arrive today!"

The Sinister King of Shadows turned slightly, frowning at her, "Snake Enchantress, you have become increasingly indulgent in managing your subordinates!"

The Snake Enchantress softly said, "This servant knows her mistake, and will definitely discipline them well in the future!"

Avoiding the seductive gaze of the Snake Enchantress.

The Sinister King of Shadows turned his back to everyone, his voice hoarse like sandpaper, slowly sounding, "The Seventh Elder is dead, you should all know about this, right?"

Below the stage.

Everyone looked at each other, not saying a word.

"If there are still those who don't know, take a look at this intelligence!"

As he spoke.

Several files flew out from the side shelf, unfolding automatically, and the words on them appeared one by one in front of everyone.

In the crowd, Wang Xiu secretly glanced at it.

It was discovered that the above description is exactly what happened in Limitless City. However, it is relatively vague.

The Shadowy Evil King said again, "Before the operation, the seven elders reported the situation to me... I looked at it, and the plan was very detailed and unexpected, so I agreed! But the result... you all saw it!"

He turned around, coldly scanning the many elders and protectors present. "It is obvious that among them, there is a traitor!"

"Although it is not only my Ghost King Sect that took action this time, there are other forces as well!"

"No one can say for sure which family the traitor came from!"

"But, with such a big incident happening, we should also learn from it... especially you elders who are always scheming and fighting for power, it would be better to properly rectify the people under your command!"

Saying this, he looked at the reactions of the elders.

But he saw that although they seemed to be listening attentively on the surface, their eyes were wandering, clearly communicating with each other using their divine senses.

He had seen this kind of thing many times.

Immediately, he snorted coldly and said, "Yuan Zhong!"

One protector stood up with a determined look, "Here, Vice Sect Master!"

In the crowd, Wang Xiu, disguised as the Ghost King, shook his head secretly.

Just one sentence.

He concluded that this protector had low emotional intelligence and no room for promotion.

Even if someone is a vice, you can't just directly call them that!

Who would be willing to listen?

If this vice sect master is ambitious, this person will be stuck in the position of protector for the rest of their life, until death.

The Shadowy Evil King frowned, seemingly suppressing his displeasure, "Hit me with a punch!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhong hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes!"

Saying this, without saying another word, he raised his fist and charged towards the stage.

The Shadowy Evil King narrowed his eyes and suppressed him with a flick of his hand.

With a loud bang!

Yuan Zhong, the protector, didn't even have time to react and died instantly, his body disintegrating and his soul dispersing.

The Shadowy Evil King shook his hand and calmly said, "This... is the fate of betrayal! Have you all seen it clearly?"

The crowd: "..."

Countless people swallowed their saliva nervously.

They nodded stiffly.

Their whole bodies were extremely cold.

The Shadowy Evil King nodded slightly and said to his confidant, "Yuan Zhong, the protector, sacrificed himself to demonstrate the iron rules of the sect. His contribution is immense. Give him three times the compensation for the fallen, you report it, and I will approve it!"

His confidant trembled all over and dryly said, "Yes!"

In the crowd, Wang Xiu watched this scene and felt a chill in his heart.

Wow.

Indeed, it is the Demon Sect.

They really just kill people without any hesitation, right?

And they kill so openly, meticulously, making it impossible to find any loopholes!

The Shadowy Evil King turned around, looking down on the crowd from a high position, "Since you all understand the rules now, in the future, you should properly restrain the people under your command! Don't let me hear similar news again!"

At this moment, no one dared to pretend to be dumb anymore.

They nodded repeatedly, expressing their agreement.

"Master Shadowy Evil is right, this is how traitors should be treated!"

The third elder sneered, "This guy, Seventh, he has methods and schemes, but his only flaw is being too kind and easily trusting others... He came up with some idol training method, making the people under his command a mixed bag, with all sorts of people!"

This time, it's obvious that someone has taken advantage of the situation and there is a mole!

Unlike me, everyone under my command is terrified of me!

Don't even talk about being a mole, they don't even dare to look me in the eye!"

[Ding!]

[Detected someone bragging, congratulations to the host for gaining +166 mana.]

"Heh, Yinshi Sect Master, I'm not bragging to you! When it comes to controlling people, there are no more than four people in the entire Ghost King Sect who can surpass me! The people under my command are not only loyal, but also brave and skilled in battle, able to take on ten opponents at once!"

[Ding!]

[Detected someone bragging, congratulations to the host for gaining +222 mana.]

...

Elder Liu touched his beard and sighed, "I've reminded Seventh Elder before to pay attention to the spiritual development of his subordinates!"

"What era is it now?"

"Using old methods to attract people with benefits is outdated~"

"If you can offer money, others can too!"

"The reason they choose not to betray is simply because the price for betrayal is not high enough!"

"You have to let your subordinates know and believe that only you truly have their best interests at heart. Give them tasks, take a share of their profits, everything is to sharpen them... Their future is limitless!"

"You have to have a long-term vision!"

"In the future, everything we have will belong to them!"

That way, they won't be swayed by petty gains and choose to betray!"

That's why the people under my command are all firm believers!"

[Ding!]

[Detected someone bragging, congratulations to the host for gaining +333 mana.]

...

Chi Mei Snake Ji stretched lazily, revealing her curves, arousing people's imagination. She giggled, "All of you, you talk as if it's true! Yinshi Sect Master, don't look at me! You should know that although I don't have many subordinates, as long as they are men, they would never betray me! Kekeke..."

"Am I right, Ghost?"

[Ding!]

[Detected someone bragging, congratulations to the host for gaining +666 mana.]

Wang Xiu stood silently in the crowd.

Listening to the continuous system prompts in his mind.

He was secretly delighted.

He couldn't help but give a big thumbs up to the Yinshi Evil King!

Impressive.

Without his pressure!

How could these old cunning people speak so freely and express themselves so passionately?

Suddenly.

He was cued by Chi Mei Snake Ji!

Wang Xiu was slightly stunned, a fanatical and infatuated expression appeared on his face, "Of course, I pledge to follow the Queen to the death!"

When Chi Mei Snake Ji heard this, she laughed again with pride, causing her towering figure to tremble.

Countless weak-willed demonic cultivators drooled at the sight.

The other elders twitched their mouths slightly.

Your methods are indeed reliable!

But the problem is, we can't learn them!

...

"Cough cough, we're having a meeting, pay attention to your image!"

On the high platform.

The Yinshi Evil King coughed twice, gave Chi Mei Snake Ji a glance, and then faced the crowd, "Very well! With this, I can rest assured. If everyone in my Ghost King Sect has the same awareness as you all, how can we not prosper?"

"Enough with the idle talk!"

"This year's Heavenly Demon Grand Ritual will be presided over by me!"

"At the hour of Chen tomorrow, the grand formation will be activated!"

"Tonight, everyone shall burn incense and bathe, nurturing their essence, sincerely paying homage to the demons! When the time comes, we shall depart punctually!"

"Prepare yourselves to receive the bestowed gift of the soul-stealing Heavenly Demon!"

"I have a premonition that after tomorrow, my Ghost King Sect will achieve unprecedented glory, thanks to all of you present here, and return to the pinnacle of the demonic world!"

"At that time, those hypocritical Immortal Gate cultivators who relentlessly hunt us down on a daily basis..."

"Will all be trampled under our feet!"

*Ding!*

*Detected someone bragging. Congratulations, host, for gaining +666 mana.*

As the eerie sound of the Yin Eclipse Evil King resounded.

Wang Xiu clearly noticed that many demonic cultivators present had flushed faces, rapid breathing, and bloodshot eyes.

It seemed that those seemingly ordinary words unknowingly influenced the minds of the crowd.

The Yin Eclipse Evil King was very satisfied with everyone's performance, nodding frequently and scanning his gaze over each individual.

"Overthrow the righteous Immortal Gate!"

Noticing that the Yin Eclipse Evil King was about to look over.

In the crowd, Wang Xiu suddenly shouted, his voice loud and more excited than anyone else.

This startled the six elders in front.

The crowd hesitated for a moment, then their blood surged, immediately echoing.

"Overthrow the righteous Immortal Gate!"

"Overthrow the righteous Immortal Gate!"

"Overthrow the righteous Immortal Gate!"

Wang Xiu: "Trample them under our feet!"

"Trample them under our feet!"

"Trample them under our feet!"

Wang Xiu: "Long live the Yin Eclipse Sect Master!"

"Long live the Yin Eclipse Sect Master!"

"Long live the Yin Eclipse Sect Master!"

"Long live the Yin Eclipse Sect Master!"

"..."

For a while, the shouts shook the heavens.

As if they were going to overturn the dome of the hall.

The Yin Eclipse Sect Master looked at Wang Xiu with satisfaction, secretly thinking, "Who is this subordinate? He has potential!"

...

After a long time.

The demonic cultivators in the hall slowly dispersed.

Only the Yin Eclipse Evil King remained.

His eyes flickered slightly as he raised his hand and clenched it.

The communication token that had fallen from the Guardian of Resentment's body was held in his hand.

He flicked his finger.

Void sealing technique.

In the next moment.

A drop of essence blood suddenly condensed from the pile of shattered flesh and blood.

In the empty air, the shattered soul that had already been broken unexpectedly still had a trace of remnant soul.

Using the essence blood and remnant soul of the Guardian of Resentment as a guide.

He activated the secret technique of the Ghost King Sect.

Condensing a blood seal.

It entered the communication token.

Instantly, the restrictions on the communication token were lifted.

His gaze deep, he found the chat records between the Guardian of Resentment and another person.

He replied with a line of words.

—Everything is normal, the target has not shown any abnormality!
