I Seize Opportunities With My Life Script System

Shen Mo smiled faintly. "Do you know why the demonfolk declined?"

The Kuangxue King sneered. "I understand this better than you. No need for your lectures."

Shen Mo nodded. "If so, isn't it foolish for the demonfolk to still treat the Saint Demon Tree as their lifeline?"

"Back then, the Saint Demon Tree could shelter you all. Now it's withered and ancient, yet you still cling to this dying tree."

"If your kind doesn't decline, who should?"

These words were like a stone causing a thousand ripples.

The Kuangxue Tribe generals in the hall flew into a rage.

Some even raised axes, ready to physically confront Shen Mo.

Mo Mingyu drew the bone spear from her back, glaring fiercely at these demonfolk.

But the Kuangxue King laughed.

"Excellent! Truly worthy of one who could slay Anpoluo!"

"Your insight is equally piercing!"

"Shen Mo, you've earned the respect of my Kuangxue Tribe."

"Someone, offer them seats!"

The Kuangxue King's sudden shift from arrogance to respect left everyone stunned.

Yet Shen Mo remained expressionless throughout.

He knew this was merely a test of his attitude.

Moments later, Shen Mo and Fu Zu were seated in positions of honor.

The Kuangxue King smiled. "When our Kuangxue Tribe soldiers were patrolling, they encountered three other visiting saints."

"One human saint and two demon beast saints."

"You two must know them?"

Fu Zu seemed surprised. "That should be Jiuyin, Dragon Turtle, and Xiang Yuan."

The Kuangxue King smiled. "Since they've come to the Kuangxue Tribe, they are our guests."

"Meet them first and rest."

"Someone, show these two to their quarters."

Soon, Shen Mo and Fu Zu were led to comfortable lodgings.

Though the Kuangxue Tribe's architectural style was wild, the accommodations were reasonably comfortable.

They weren't deliberately mistreated.

That night.

Shen Mo, Fu Zu, and the others met with Jiuyin's group.

The five exchanged emotional greetings upon meeting.

They had parted ways after entering the Demonfolk Valley, each seeking clues to the Ancestral Demon Soil.

Reuniting now naturally stirred deep emotions.

Both sides recounted their experiences.

But Shen Mo and Fu Zu had faced the Gangfeng Tribe, the Demon Army, and even slain Anpoluo.

Their experiences were naturally far richer than Jiuyin's group.

Jiuyin said gravely, "There's something I must tell you both."

"The Hui'an Demon Kingdom has also sent envoys to the Kuangxue Tribe, and reportedly to the Tianshi and Jiuyou tribes as well."

"The other two Dark Department Demon Lords of the Hui'an Demon Kingdom are in Tianshi and Jiuyou."

"As for the one who came to the Kuangxue Tribe, it's a Filth Department Demon Lord."

Fu Zu frowned. "What does this mean?"

"After fighting the demonfolk tribes for so many years, is the Hui'an Demon Kingdom now seeking peace?"

Shen Mo said solemnly, "The Hui'an Demon Kingdom has always sought the secret to the demonfolk's strength. They've long coveted the Saint Demon Tree."

"Yet now they negotiate peace with the demonfolk tribes—clearly, they have other motives."

"Perhaps it's for..."

Everyone understood instantly.

The Ancestral Demon Soil!

Without greater interests at stake, why would the Hui'an Demon Kingdom abandon the Saint Demon Tree?

Xiang Yuan said anxiously, "What should we do?"

"If the Hui'an Demon Kingdom and the demonfolk tribes complete their peace talks, we'll be trapped like turtles in a jar."

Shen Mo looked at Jiuyin.

Cold light flashed in both their eyes.

Shen Mo suddenly asked, "Where is this Filth Department Demon Lord located?"

Jiuyin smiled slightly. "In a residence near ours—very close by."

Shen Mo declared immediately, "Strike tonight and take his head!"

Within the bedchamber, behind gauzy curtains.

The Kuangxue King embraced two voluptuous demon women, yet his expression remained solemn and stern.

For kneeling before him were two demon advisors—his tribe's strategists.

The left demon was Mo Kuangying, the right Mo Kuangfeng.

Mo Kuangfeng spoke gravely, "My King, though we share an unending blood feud with the Hui'an Demon Kingdom, their offer of peace talks presents a rare opportunity."

"I know your heart resists this negotiation, as do ours. But for the future, we must temporarily endure this humiliation."

"My King, order the swift execution of these visiting human and demon beast saints!"

But Mo Kuangying immediately countered, "My King, our people have warred with the Hui'an Demon Kingdom for tens of millennia. Countless fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters have fallen to their hands."

"If we embrace peace the moment they offer talks, many tribesmen will lose faith in you!"

"My King, you recently ascended the throne with unstable foundations. You cannot make such a decision!"

"Neither the Tianshi nor Jiuyou tribes have sent word. We Kuangxue must not be the first to yield!"

"Moreover, we must not kill these foreign saints. Humans and demon beasts are forces we may leverage in future conflicts against Hui'an."

"Slaying them now forfeits any future aid from humans or demon beasts!"

Mo Kuangfeng and Mo Kuangying argued fiercely, each holding firm.

The Kuangxue King frowned in deep thought.

After a long moment, he waved his hand. The two demon women instantly withdrew.

The king sighed heavily, "My decision is made. We shall temporarily negotiate peace with Hui'an..."

Before he finished, footsteps suddenly echoed outside.

A figure burst into the chamber, kneeling at the threshold and blurting, "Report! My King! Those human and demon beast saints have assassinated the Hui'an envoy!"

At these words, the king and both advisors froze.

What situation?

The Hui'an Demon Kingdom had sent six Demon Saints this time, accompanied by numerous demon warriors.

Among them was a Filth Department Demon Lord!

A true powerholder of the Hui'an Demon Kingdom!

One standing at the very pinnacle of their strength pyramid!

Yet these foreign saints numbered only five.

How could they possibly kill the Hui'an envoy?

Mo Kuangfeng roared, "My King, these foreign saints deliberately sabotage our relations with Hui'an! Seize them immediately and hand them over for punishment!"

"Only then can peace talks continue."

Mo Kuangying stated gravely, "My King, this is an opportunity! Among these foreign saints must be formidable warriors."

"If we ally with humans and demon beasts, why fear the Hui'an Demon Kingdom!?"

The Kuangxue King deliberated briefly. "Go to the guest quarters at once!"

Moments later.

The entire palace blazed with light.

The Kuangxue King led his trusted generals to the guest lodgings.

Upon arrival, he saw wreckage strewn across the ground.

At the center stood Shen Mo and his companions, surrounded.

Outside them stood masses of Hui'an demons.

Beyond them, the Kuangxue Tribe's demonfolk formed the outermost ring.

A Filth Department Demon Supreme from Hui'an howled, "Kuangxue King! You've finally come! These human and demon beast saints murdered our Demon Lord!"

"They must die!"
