Chapter 174 - 170 Rebellion
Outside the Demon Saint Palace, Bailong stood alone on the steps, guarding the place.
In Yun Meng Swamp, there weren’t many demons who truly understood Lord Demon Saint, after all, demons have their demon nature, and it’s hard for them to be like humans.
Moreover, some great demons in Yun Meng Swamp have an innate hostility towards humans.
Therefore, many great demons are actually reluctant to learn from humans; in contrast, the lesser demons believe in Lord Demon Saint because they have embraced human culture since they were weak, which has changed some demon customs.
The more powerful the demon, the longer they live, and the more conservative they become.
Bailong is relatively younger; he was personally nurtured by Lord Demon Saint and could be considered part of the Demon Saint’s faction.
Additionally, among the demon kings of the three mid-level Seven Realms, the Kui Demon also trusts Lord Demon Saint.
As for Lei Ze and the Qilin Demon King, they are the most senior, having lived the longest. In the Demon World of Yun Meng Swamp, they are considered absolute veteran figures, and even Lord Demon Saint treats them with considerable respect and courtesy.
Both great demon kings have many followers under them, and they are part of maintaining Yun Meng Swamp’s rule. Moreover, in their daily lives, they are very respectful to Lord Demon Saint and show no dissent, making Yun Meng Swamp appear peaceful.
But demon minds are like human minds; they only need a spark to ignite those dark thoughts in an instant.
Lords Demon Saint’s injury was that spark. They never expected Lord Demon Saint to be severely wounded by humans. That battle also made Lei Ze see a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
