"Is there really such a method??" Liu Yu was slightly taken aback, feeling somewhat caught off guard, yet he maintained his composure on the surface.
However, he felt that something was off. He never expected that a dignified peak fourth stage demonic king would actually hire actors for a fake match.
In his previous impressions, while demonic kings possessed high-level intelligence, their personalities were generally straightforward, with their likes and dislikes displayed openly; there were seldom any deep-rooted old foxes among them.
"These are all preconceived notions; how could demonic kings not be adaptable?" Liu Yu silently pondered, constantly reminding himself.
Thinking about the Blood Leopard Demonic King's sound transmission, his mind quickly turned. If this demon was willing to admit defeat, it seemed he could cooperate a bit?
After all, the core conflict during their duel of magic was the spiritual object "Nine Orifices Qingti." If the other party was willing to concede and give up the competition for the spiritual object, the core contradiction would cease to exist.
The Blood Leopard Demonic King was a peak fourth stage demonic king, aided by two great demonic kings and a mid-stage demonic king. Facing such a powerful group, Liu Yu found it difficult to kill them on the spot, or rather, it wasn't worth it.
Firstly, the Sword of Ruin should not be used for such trivial matters, and aside from that, to slay the four demonic beasts, he would have to use all his strength.
However, unless absolutely necessary, Liu Yu did not want to reveal his full strength to avoid oppression from the divine transformation factions.
Especially since the other party had clearly given up the competition for "Nine Orifices Qingti."
After all, he was still too young; at just over four hundred years old, he had reached the peak mid-stage yuan ying and had achieved late-stage fourth stage body refinement, which made it seem likely he could advance to divine transformation.
If he were to reveal all his power, it was almost certain he would face oppression, a situation Liu Yu had been trying to avoid. Even if he couldn't avoid it, he aimed to delay it; every extra day was an extra day of cultivation.
Killing the four demonic beasts on the spot would benefit the Human Race, but it wouldn't benefit him!
With this thought, Liu Yu began to feel tempted.
At this moment, it seemed the Blood Leopard Demonic King noticed he hadn't replied for a long time and sent another secret sound transmission.
"The ancient secret realm has repeatedly emerged. With the true lords and demonic kings scrambling for spiritual objects, the situation between our races will inevitably become more tense."
"The day of war breaking out again is probably not far off."
"Among the demonic race, I hold a high position and possess many confidential pieces of information that I can reveal to you, my friend, at that time."
"Of course, if you, Friend Qingyang, have any opponents you wish to eliminate, and it is inconvenient for you to act, I can do it on your behalf."
The Blood Leopard Demonic King's voice echoed in his ear, having asked for a favor, he no longer referred to himself as 'this king.'
"This matter is very promising!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yu's eyes lit up.
The desires of living beings are endless; both the Human Race and the demonic race flock to spiritual objects, and a third "war between humans and demons" is indeed very likely to arise.
At this moment, if he could have an "inside man" in the demonic race, receiving some confidential information at a crucial moment would make things much easier.
Moreover, sometimes at the Seven Nations Alliance meetings, there would indeed be political adversaries who harm sect interests without damaging their own.
Such political adversaries were somewhat disgusting but also inconvenient to attack openly; if they died at the hands of the demonic race, others couldn't say anything.
"Agreed, agreed."
We're all friends; Liu Yu and the Leopard Dao Friend hit it off at first sight, and there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future.
