Twisted Dreams-Chapter 365 - 433: Raise Your Head Too High
Asuka Seimei stood respectfully beside Madam Bai, looking at Matsushita Oda, and said:
"Didn’t you say you would express your thoughts when Madam Bai arrives?
Now that Madam Bai is here, you can speak."
She didn’t take Tuyuan Slope seriously at all.
Matsushita Oda shrugged and cautiously glanced at Tuyuan Slope.
He told Asuka Seimei to let Seimei Shrine manage everything about the Extraordinary Circle in East Sakura.
Seimei Shrine could utilize the sheriff, freely take money from the treasury, and possess extraordinary rights.
But these were just empty words.
This banquet was a Hongmen Banquet, mainly to capture or kill the Great Evil Demon King alive.
Tuyuan Slope didn’t respond to Matsushita Oda’s look, just stood there, staring rigidly at Madam Bai.
Neither Madam Bai nor Asuka Seimei gave any face to Tuyuan Slope.
Tuyuan Slope, a prominent figure in East Sakura law enforcement, would have been given some respect even by the Prime Minister.
Now, he was furious.
Secretary Mikuri Natsuki stood up, guided Tuyuan Slope to sit, and stood behind him to pour tea.
After sitting down, Tuyuan Slope dropped the façade of friendliness and said coldly:
"Let’s wait until the Great Evil Demon King arrives to discuss it."
Asuka Seimei looked at Tuyuan Slope with disdain:
"What makes you think you’re worthy of meeting the Great Evil Demon King?"
"You?!"
Tuyuan Slope was completely enraged.
Asuka Seimei turned to Matsushita Oda:
"Are you mocking me?"
Matsushita Oda panicked, lowered his head, and dared not speak.
Even though she was just an eighteen-year-old girl, she was a favorite around the Great Evil Demon King, exuding a terrifying aura.
Tuyuan Slope sneered:
"Mocking? Hardly, I just want to see the Great Evil Demon King, that’s why I invited Madam Bai."
Tuyuan Slope revealed his true intentions.
Everyone present showed anger toward Asuka Seimei, and their eyes held murderous intent even when looking at Madam Bai.
Asuka Seimei narrowed her eyes.
She hadn’t expected these people would dare to be disrespectful to Madam Bai.
Asuka Seimei said coldly:
"It seems you’re not here to discuss cooperation with Seimei Shrine. Madam, let’s leave."
Madam Bai glanced at Asuka Seimei:
"What’s the rush? Haven’t you seen my son enjoying the chicken legs?"
Little Sesshomaru was eating a chicken leg in each hand, his mouth greasy with oil.
Asuka Seimei bent down, her tone a bit anxious:
"Madam, I didn’t expect they would dare to disrespect you, it’s my oversight.
Since they dare to do such a thing, they must have made preparations.
I know you’re very powerful, but we can’t underestimate the power of mortals entirely.
I must be responsible for your safety."
Madam Bai remained silent, focusing on comforting her son.
Tuyuan Slope chuckled:
"Do you want to leave? There’s no way, obediently wait for the Great Evil Demon King to arrive."
The special bodyguards Tuyuan Slope brought, seeing Tuyuan Slope no longer acting, immediately drew their guns, aiming at Madam Bai and Asuka Seimei behind her.
"Bastards!"
Asuka Seimei immediately shielded Madam Bai.
Tuyuan Slope pointed angrily at Asuka Seimei and shouted:
"Asuka! You’re human, yet you help these demons!
Are you willing to be a lackey of these beasts? You’ve disgraced East Sakura People!
These brutal demons must die today!
You, you Chong Ghost, must also die!"
"Heh."
A clear, cold laughter rang out.
Everyone was drawn by the laughter, looking at Madam Bai, who was picking food for Sesshomaru.
Madam Bai said softly:
"Why did you start currying favor with Seimei Shrine?
Isn’t it to gain the protection of the Great Evil Demon King?
You want to use beauty and money to bind the Great Evil Demon King to East Sakura?"
Tuyuan Slope said solemnly:
"We are willing to worship the Great Evil Demon King, and the Great Evil Demon King helps us deal with future anomalies; it’s a transaction.
But you just had to overturn the table of transaction!
You kill people, rob wives and daughters, seize human property!
You’re too greedy, too brutal!"
Madam Bai put down her chopsticks, her eyes mocking as she looked at Tuyuan Slope:
"And you?
How many of the witches serving the Great Evil Demon King in the Great Evil Palace have their own agendas?
Those ridiculous witches secretly taught the Great Evil Demon King’s magic to the Bureau of Public Security, hoping to make the officials learn the Yin Yang Technique.
Some witches even collected the Great Evil Demon King’s hair while cleaning his chamber, hoping to find his weaknesses using technology.
You respect us now because you covet the Great Evil Demon King’s power.
Once you’ve decoded it, what will you do to us?
Enslave us demons to serve you? Or kill us outright?
It’s a pity you mortals can never comprehend the Yin Yang Technique; you lack spiritual power.
This banquet targeting us just happened a bit prematurely.
In terms of greed and cunning, we demons truly can’t compare to you humans."
Tuyuan Slope was taken aback.
He didn’t expect Madam Bai to know so much about their actions.
Madam Bai picked up her chopsticks again, serving food to her son, and said:
"My husband has this one good thing; he likes reading and also likes me to read.
Lately, I’ve been quite interested in Xia Country’s five-thousand-year history.
Your little tricks are nothing compared to the art of strategy in Xia Country.
In that book, I understand you East Sakura very well.
Brutality? It’s the best way to deal with you."
Tuyuan Slope’s face alternated between blue and white.
He stiffened his neck and said:
"No matter what you say, today is the dusk of the Great Evil Demon King!"
At that moment, a pitch-black door suddenly appeared above the banquet.
A gusty wind swept through, an ominous aura spreading everywhere.
Tuyuan Slope knew, the Great Evil Demon King had arrived!
The Gate of Hell slowly opened, and a wild man stepped out.
He wore a long black fur robe, his black hair wildly unruly.
His beastly eyes scanned the banquet, finally landing on Madam Bai and Sesshomaru.
Asuka Seimei exclaimed in delight:
"Great Evil Demon King!"
Several special bodyguards were shocked.
This is the Great Evil Demon King?
Truly the methods of a Ghost God!
Could they, in front of this monster, ensure Tuyuan Slope’s safety?
Matsushita Oda stepped in front of Tuyuan Slope, shielding him:
"Great Evil Demon King! Let us talk."
He wanted to showcase his bravery against a powerful enemy in front of his superior Tuyuan Slope.
Xiaohai furrowed his brows, and a black flame appeared out of nowhere, shooting toward Matsushita Oda with a ’whoosh’.
"Bang!"
A dull explosion sounded, and Matsushita Oda’s head exploded, his headless body aflame, collapsing heavily.
Tuyuan Slope stared in horror at Matsushita Oda’s death.
Killing someone over a disagreement?!
Xiaohai opened his mouth, revealing white teeth:
"The head was held too high up."
Many present didn’t understand what this meant.
Asuka Seimei and the accompanying witches immediately knelt, lowering their heads tightly.
Several nobles who had suffered greatly under the Great Evil Demon King also realized something, quickly kneeling down.
Secretary Mikuri looked at everyone’s actions, her eyes flashed with astonishment, and she quickly grabbed Tuyuan Slope’s back, both lying down.
After Xiaohai finished speaking, in less than a second, the black flame swept across the banquet like Sword Qi.
Everyone who didn’t kneel or lay down was decapitated.
The flame intentionally avoided Madam Bai and Sesshomaru, leaving them unharmed.
Tuyuan Slope never expected Xiaohai to be so violent!
He had killed more than half of those present?!
As for the bodyguards Tuyuan Slope brought, none were left alive.
Xiaohai tilted his head, staring playfully at the stunned Tuyuan Slope:
"I heard what you said earlier, and you were mistaken about one thing.
We were never partners to begin with.
You, you’re just my slaves, pets of the Demon Race."
Tuyuan Slope shouted angrily at the top of his lungs:
"Someone! Anyone!"
