Chapter 299 - 298: The New Burning Moon God Emperor
The Yama Emperor’s solemn speech and determined stance rallied the other Yama Devils. They cast aside their hesitation and stepped forward, standing behind him as they drew their weapons and unleashed their profound energy, shaking the entire Yama Imperial District.
Even though they were facing their venerable ancestors and the leader of the Yama Devils, Yan Wu, they were all prepared to sacrifice their lives for the sake of their realm! Even Yan Jie was no exception.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
"Hahaha! What great determination! Listening to your great speech, I almost sympathized with you all," Yun Wuji said as he clapped his hands and laughed loudly. Shaking his head, he continued, "But it seems you’ve misunderstood something... I never intended to take over the Yama Realm. From the beginning, my goal was the Yama Devils themselves. Only they can help me in my war, and I’ve already gathered the four strongest among them."
His eyes turned cold as he looked at them, "Since you’ve all refused my offer, then even if it’s a bit of a waste, I’d rather kill you all and look for new inheritors."
Although, unlike the Burning Moon Realm, there was a high chance the Yama Realm might agree to join the war, neither Yun Wuji nor Chi Wuyao trusted them. Once the war began, mobilizing them would be a struggle, and when it came time for a decisive battle, they might shrink back, afraid of losing their forces.
This had always been the flaw in coalitions. Throughout history, many had lost despite having superior numbers, all because of mistrust and poor coordination.
"Royal Father, wh... what..." Yan Jie spoke in a clearly panicked voice. The courage he had just managed to gather popped like a balloon after Yun Wuji’s words. And it wasn’t just him; the other eight Yama Devils were the same.
Yan Tianxiao’s chest rose and fell heavily. He clenched the spear in his hand until a cracking sound rang out. A cruel and decisive light flashed in his eyes, "Even if you force the ancestors and Wu’er to fight us, this king will make sure to take your life before we fall!"
He had finally understood; he had walked right into Chi Wuyao’s trap! That poisonous woman never intended to cooperate with them. From the very start, her goal was to use this man to take over the Yama Realm!
He thought he had been cautious enough not to fall for her tricks, but it seemed he was still far too naive!
In the end, the most dangerous and terrifying thing in the world isn’t something that is unknown. It’s something that ’transcends all common sense’.
