Chapter 2710

“Mr. Chan ……”

As soon as he spotted Kaizhi, the Ichthus Demon Emperor quickly moved forward and offered a slight bow!

Meanwhile, Elder Pei stood at the back, his head bowed and his expression filled with shock, remaining silent!

Kai accompanied Emperor Yih into the Imperial City, deliberately leaving Elder Pei behind, as he had important questions for Emperor Yih!

Once inside the room, Kai asked directly, “Yi He, what do you know about the Ming Li King City?”

Upon hearing Kai’s inquiry about Ming Li King City, Demon Emperor Yi He was momentarily taken aback and quickly replied, “Hall Master, I possess significant knowledge about Ming Li King City. After all, King Li and I are neighbors, and our families have had considerable interactions!”

“I intend to marry my daughter to King Li’s son, to unite our families through marriage, which would enhance our influence within the beast race!”

“May I ask why the Hall Master is inquiring about Ming Li King City?”

Listening to Yi He’s explanation, Kai contemplated for a moment and then asked, “What’s your opinion on this Knight King as a person?”

“He is extremely ambitious, exceedingly greedy, and quite unscrupulous!”

Without hesitation, Yih described King Li’s characteristics!

Kai was taken aback, disbelief etched on his face as he exclaimed, “If this man is so terrible, why would you still marry your daughter into their family?”

With a bitter smile, the Ichthus Demon Emperor replied, “Hall Master, you don’t understand. If I do not proceed with this marriage alliance with the Ming Li King City, others might seize the opportunity and collaborate with them!”

“In that case, my Demon Emperor City would be fragmented, leaving us with no chance to resist. Thus, I have no choice but to sacrifice my daughter.”

“Moreover, by allying with Ming Li King City, we can together launch an assault on the Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagle’s Eagle King Cave. It is said that a legendary Heavenly Thunder Tree resides there, which has withstood a staggering ninety-eight hundred and eleven heavenly thunderbolts and still thrives.”

“The fruits borne from this Heavenly Thunder Tree are exceptional cultivation resources…”

As he spoke about the Heavenly Thunder Tree, a glint of greed flickered in the Ichthus Demon Emperor’s eyes!

“Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagle?”

“The Heavenly Thunder Tree?”

Kai furrowed his brow, feeling puzzled. “Is this Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagle one of the Three Emperors and Four Kings?”

The Ichthus Demon Emperor shook his head. “No, the beast race encompasses many others that are not under our control, aside from our Three Emperors and Four Kings.”

“The Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagle is one of them. He operates independently, not answering to my Demon Emperor City or King Li’s King City. This creature doesn’t heed anyone due to the Heavenly Thunder Tree that resides in his cave!”

“Over the years, while many have sought to claim the Heavenly Thunder Tree, they have all returned empty-handed. No one dares to confront the Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagle alone, for risking their strength could lead to becoming prey for others.”

“Both King Li and I once contemplated a joint attack on the Eagle King’s Cave, but no one dared proceed, as we had to be wary of each other!”

“Now, with my Demon Emperor City aligning with Ming Li King City, we can launch an offensive against the Eagle King Cave together and share the spoils of the Heavenly Thunder Tree!”

After hearing Demon Emperor Yih’s explanation, Kai began to understand that demonic beasts like the Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagle were akin to rogue cultivators, refusing to submit to any particular authority!

“How sincere do you think King Li is in forming this alliance with you?”

Kai inquired.

“This… this subordinate is unsure.”

The Ichthus Demon Emperor shook his head.

Demon Emperor Yih was blissfully unaware that, in King Li’s perspective, the marriage alliance was merely a façade; his true intention was to seize control of the entire Demon Emperor City!

“For now, you should avoid cooperating with King Li. I need to retrieve an item that was stolen by Ming Li King City!”

Kai instructed the Ichthus Demon Emperor!
