Chapter 457: Who Should We Choose

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Very soon, the black dog seemed to be even blacker than before…

Intuitively, Fang Ning took a few steps back. Xue Ba had already withdrawn behind Fang Ning, showing only his yellow head as it stared at the mutating black dog.

“Awoo, awoooo…” Brett howled suddenly.

An endless stream of white-colored aura with tinges of gold congregated around it…

Following that, it inhaled sharply. All of the white aura was absorbed into its belly.

The black dog immediately bloated up like a balloon.

From its original size of about half the height of a human, its size increased dramatically into three meters, ten meters, a hundred meters, and finally a thousand meters tall. It was as if a steep peak appeared out of nowhere.

The yellow dog was initially looking down on the black dog. As Brett enlarged, it soon found itself looking up to the black dog and finally could only see its head while lying down.

“Mythical metal body is really fascinating, this idiot has some luck.” Xue Ba laid on the ground with its white belly skyward. It muttered, “That’s at least twice my size when I transformed.”

The black dog looked around as its gaze swept the scenery far away. Everything seemed so small in that vantage point.

It immediately became enthusiastic. It was its first experience of having a formidable strength.

At the moment, it seemed to have an illusion that it could pierce the sky the moment it hopped and could crumble the earth as soon as it lifted its legs.

A pond is still a pond, it could not affect much of its surroundings.

Only a lake has enough power to influence anything in this age of great clashes!

Such a turbulent movement would definitely alert everywhere near it.

The demons, humans, and even citizens far away began to gossip after witnessing the view.

“Look, is that a moving mountain on the south?”

“It could be a monster, I wonder what kind of a monster it is?”

“It’s too dark, I can’t see anything…”

“It might be an underground coal reserve that turned into a demon and chose today to be the day that it breaks free. Look at its black appearance. I mean, the world is so large, anything could happen.”

“The coal reserve looks a little weird, doesn’t it look like a dog to you?”

“Times are changing. Everything has a spirit and can become demons,” said someone while shaking their head.

“That’s right. I heard the demons are getting pretty active lately, they even formed an alliance of sort. Maybe their next step is to found a nation?”

“Where would they get their lands from? From us humans, no doubt. Looks like disputes and fights are imminent…”

“What a drag. The lunar disaster is impending, the demons are making noise. With external and internal threats like this, how could us regular citizens live?”

“What if we run away?”

“Where? It’s easy to say run away, but demons exist everywhere. Big cities might still be okay, but if we were lynched somewhere deserted, we won’t even know where to get help.”

In the headquarters of Demon Alliance, in the underground city of the Greater Rats.

Elder Ancestor Bai had assigned a whole three-kilometer block for the alliance. From that, it could be seen how much importance he placed on the newly formed Demon Alliance.

Compared to the Greater Rats, many demons had their own unique talents, especially in resource collection and cultivation methods.

However, there were only a few demons who knew his true intention. That, of course, included Bai Shixin.

At that moment, Bai Shixin was making a report in the hall of the alliance’s headquarters.

“Summarizing the above, to prevent an escalation of conflict with Vigilante A, I suggest the mining activities above ground be paused, and we shall turn underground for our mining activities. Vigilante A would usually turn a blind eye to things he can’t see, so he wouldn’t actively try to control this.” Bai Shixin stood on the platform, trying to persuade the ministers of the alliance who had filled the hall.

The three main committee members were all there along with thirty-something of their newly elected standing committee members. It could be said that they placed the mining in high priority.

“Dammit, should we just chicken out like that? Where would our honor be as the great Demon Alliance? Should we be controlled by the likes of these humans? How could I continue to raise the morale and inspire our people to rival against the humans?” Cang Lang thumped the table in dissatisfaction.

As the elite of the Upper Realm’s Celestial Wolf Clan, it had a certain pride to itself. It was part of a huge clan with an extensive knowledge of the world. It was also cunning and adaptable.

Vigilante A’s tyranny had allowed it to find a way to unite the demons…

The other demons only turned their gaze at it, keeping their words to themselves.

It looked even more vehement as it continued chastising.

“Chief Bai had already said that to Vigilante A, whoever occupied the place first would be in the right. According to that logic, Earth had already been occupied by the humans, does that mean we have nowhere to go?”

“Please stay calm, if that is his logic, I find it acceptable.” Elder Ancestor Bai comforted it with a smile. “Look at us Greater Rat Clan, we’ve built such a huge city underground, but he had never looked for trouble with us. I was a little confused at first, but now that he had said it out loud, it’s pretty clear. Humans had never explored the wide underground, no one had laid claim to it.”

“Hm, why would you speak for him? He’s a symbol for the humans, the Eastern Pharos. We should be combining our strengths to eliminate him!” Cang Lang exposed its true intention.

How could it not know who Vigilante A was? With the fame that he had accrued, he could be lauded as the strongest human, but would that not be better?

If the newly formed Demon Alliance could eradicate him, it would definitely boost the morale of the demons.

The only way for the demon race to become a race on its own was to make a name for themselves via one after another major event that they caused.

The human race had explored Earth, cycled dynasties and nations before their hearts finally congregated into the superpower that they are now.

The Demon Alliance had just been founded, they needed an iconic event to unite them. Defeating Vigilante A who bullied and oppressed them would be a great example to set.

Cang Lang’s suggestion stunned Elder Ancestor Bai, making him reassess the collaboration.

“Please take caution of what you are saying. Vigilante A is not a normal human. His title of the Eastern Pharos, the representative for the human race was bestowed by humans themselves. He is actually an incarnation of the dragons from the Upper Realm, he’s the leader of demons, and his followers are mostly us demons…” Elder Ancestor Bai said lightly.

“Hmph, I heard you were fighting him fiercely last year, two of your loyal followers even perished in his hands. But you now cower in his presence, what a letdown to see you showing such timidity! The proverbs are right, ‘as fearful as a rat’, such is the world…” Cang Lang’s face darkened as it taunted.

“How dare you!”

“Bastard, how dare you speak to our elder ancestor like this?”

“Do you know whose place you’re in?”

The group of Greater Rat committees jumped to defend Elder Ancestor Bai.

“What? You wanna fight right now?” Cang Lang’s subordinates began making a ruckus.

“Fearful Rats, it’s not wrong. Look at how much you were afraid of Vigilante A. You might as well just surrender to him, what are you doing in the Demon Alliance?”

The wolves were everywhere, however, they did not have a huge number.

There was a rough estimate of their number in the whole of China. There were only several dozen thousands of them. Naturally, these were the works of humans.

Compared to the underground-dwelling Greater Rats, they were greatly outnumbered.

However, their imposing manner made up for it.

Even in a rival’s domain, they did not yield to their number.

In the new Demon Alliance, the wolf clans would definitely be the top three human-haters…

In most human folklore, wolves are a symbol of evil and the antagonists.

As one of the Descended Ones, Cang Lang’s choice to unite the demons through hate was based on the solid foundation of resentment built up through the generations…

Elder Ancestor Bai had a deeper plan. He said deeply, “Silence, everyone. Please look at the bigger picture. The Demon Alliance had just been formed, we can’t let an outsider destroy the main objective of the demons. Brother Cang Lang, you wouldn’t want the alliance to fall apart just after it was united, do you?”

“Heh, you’re the leader of the Greater Rats, after all. The warlord among the demons.” Cang Lang stopped taunting and turned to reprimand his subordinates, “Shut up, the lot of you. Elder Ancestor Bai has a very thought-out plan. The Demon Alliance had just been formed, so there should be time for us to get to know each other. Elder Ancestor Bai wouldn’t mind the little verbal altercation we’ve had just now, would you?”

“Haha, Brother Cang Lang, what are you saying? We’re only trying to do the best for the demons. I’m not a narrow-minded person. I understand your concern. However, Vigilante A is mighty and near-omnipotent with a strong background, that’s nothing like any of the other humans. Using him as an example to the demons will not be a good idea.” Elder Ancestor Bai said.

“In your opinion, who should we choose?” Cang Lang said sincerely.
