Chapter 2523: Chapter 2523: The Plan Begins

"So, what you need to do is first change the mindset of the Demon Beast Clan?" Jinghong Saint King asked, "Then, consider the alliance with the Demon Beast Clan?"

"No!" Su Yang quickly shook his head.

"No?" Jinghong Saint King was surprised, "Then what do you intend to do?"

"I want to push the Demon Beast Clan to a dead end!" Su Yang said softly, "Make them have no other choice!"

"Push to a dead end?" Jinghong Saint King’s eyebrows furrowed, "If you do that, how much sacrifice will the Demon Beast Clan have to make?"

Su Yang knew that Jinghong Saint King cared for the Demon Beast Clan. He didn’t want the Demon Beast Clan to pay too high a price.

"Don’t worry, the Demon Beast Clan will have sacrifices, but not too many." Su Yang replied, "Even if the Human Clan and Demon Beast Clan unite, they may not be a match for the Guardian God. If the Demon Beast Clan’s sacrifices are too great, it will only widen the gap with the Guardian God. We wouldn’t do that!"

Jinghong Saint King slowly nodded, feeling relieved with Su Yang’s promise.

"So, you want me to kill a few Demon Beast Saint Emperors who have sided with the Guardian God, to provoke the Guardian God’s retaliation. Then utilize my charisma and influence to incite the Demon Beast Clan’s rebellion, triggering a second war between the Guardian God and the Demon Beast Clan? Subsequently, force the Demon Beast Clan to a dead end?" Jinghong Saint King asked.

"Exactly!" Su Yang nodded.

Jinghong Saint King pondered for a while and asked, "Do you think I can kill those Demon Beast Saint Emperors?"

"Not right now, but soon you will be able to." Su Yang replied.

"What do you mean?" Jinghong Saint King asked curiously.

Su Yang did not speak but instead took out a Divine Artifact from his belongings.

This was an artifact Su Yang obtained inside the Land of Chaos. Its power was comparable to the artifacts from the Feather Spirit Palace, likely left behind by an Ancient Heavenly Warrior. Su Yang had been contemplating whom to give this artifact to.

After having Jinghong Saint King’s plan, Su Yang decided that the artifact was best suited for him.

"You can fuse with this artifact..." Su Yang said, "Once you fuse with this artifact, you’ll be able to conceal your aura with its power. This way, those Saint Emperors won’t realize you’re already a Saint Emperor. You can ambush them when they least expect it. With your current strength, combined with the power of this artifact, ambushing and killing a Saint Emperor won’t be difficult at all!"

"Really?" Jinghong Saint King questioned, "Killing a Saint Emperor isn’t that easy, right? Upon reaching the Saint Realm, one becomes immortal and indestructible. Even at the Saint Emperor level, they can regenerate from just a drop of blood! Unless you can completely obliterate a Saint Emperor, you can’t kill them."

"I know!" Su Yang responded, "But rest assured, once you fuse with this artifact, you’ll understand what I mean!"

Jinghong Saint King looked at the artifact with skepticism. After receiving guidance from Su Yang, he began to fuse with the artifact slowly.

About a month later, Jinghong Saint King finally fused with the artifact. At this point, he finally understood what Su Yang meant earlier.

With the artifact’s power, instantly killing a Saint Emperor was indeed possible!

With all set in place, Jinghong Saint King swiftly returned to the Luan Yu Dynasty according to Su Yang’s plan.

After several hundred years, Jinghong Saint King’s previous incidents had gradually faded.

To the Demon Beast Clan, the mere fact that Jinghong Saint King managed to escape alive was remarkable. Hence, the chances of him resurfacing were likely slim.

It was precisely at this time that Jinghong Saint King reappeared, returning to the Luan Yu Dynasty.

The news spread and shocked many demon beasts. Having barely escaped with his life, returning now felt like courting death; what was the meaning of this?

Saint Emperor Luan Yu was also doubtful when seeing Jinghong Saint King, hardly believing his eyes. Yet, aware of the current situation, Luan Yu acted promptly, personally seeking Jinghong Saint King to leave.

However, when Jinghong Saint King returned to the Luan Yu Dynasty, he didn’t first seek out Saint Emperor Luan Yu. Thus, Luan Yu wasn’t the first to receive the news.

By the time he found Jinghong Saint King, a dozen Demon Beast Saint Emperors had already surrounded him. These dozen Demon Beast Saint Emperors were those who had sided with the Guardian God, and upon getting the news, rushed over immediately.

Last time, they not only failed to kill Jinghong Saint King but also lost a few Demon Beast Saint Emperors in the process. The Guardian God had been extremely furious about this, imposing punishment on those Demon Beast Saint Emperors involved.

Due to this, these Demon Beast Saint Emperors had pent-up anger, tirelessly hunting for Jinghong Saint King over the years. They wanted to kill Jinghong Saint King, wipe out the disgrace of their previous defeat, and gain great merit.

After years without success, they were close to giving up. But now, with Jinghong Saint King reappearing, how could these Saint Emperors miss such an opportunity?

A dozen Demon Beast Saint Emperors were the closest to the Luan Yu Dynasty. There were still other Saint Emperors en route, also loyal to the Guardian God.

When Saint Emperor Luan Yu found Jinghong Saint King, he was already surrounded by those dozen Demon Beast Saint Emperors.

Luan Yu was shocked, not expecting to be a step too late. Seeing the situation, he braved his way in, unwilling to abandon Jinghong Saint King, his brother.

The dozen Demon Beast Saint Emperors completely disregarded Saint Emperor Luan Yu. With their numbers, they were confident that Saint Emperor Luan Yu stood no chance against them.

Thus, without any respect for Saint Emperor Luan Yu, they prepared to overwhelm Jinghong Saint King.

After a brief confrontation, Luan Yu, attempting to protect Jinghong Saint King, infuriated the dozen Saint Emperors, igniting a battle where Luan Yu was overwhelmingly defeated.

Meanwhile, two of the Saint Emperors charged at Jinghong Saint King, attempting to capture him for interrogation. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

At that moment, Jinghong Saint King seized his chance, unleashed his artifact, and ambushed the two Demon Beast Saint Emperors.
