Chapter 400: Devil’s Palace, pleasant cooperation (Part 1)
The southern people decide to clean up the fire in the passageway. But, will Demon Lord not expect this?
How fast could the southern people clean up the fire? How fast could Demon Lord’s people put more firewood? The southern people cleared up the fire in front of them because the branches n the passageway were only a few. However, behind those branches in front of them, the wind kept blowing the firewood. As time goes by, the more they tried to clean up the branches in the passageway, the more it gets harder… …
Not only that, because of Demon Lord’s people great and smooth movements, it attracted the people of the emperor. And so, the emperor’s people also came close with large troops and cavalry.
Demon Lord’s people discovered the emperor’s coming from afar, but they didn’t move at all. They just did what they must to do and didn’t put those soldiers in their eyes.
*Clack, clack* The footsteps were getting closer and closer. The emperor’s people don’t seem to have the intention to hide their movements. It shows that the other party was tempting them.
Soon, Demon Lord’s people came into their sight, but their facial expression could not be read.
The barriers between the two sides were clear. The leader in command, his eyes flashed with murderous intent. He held his sword and ready himself to pull it out, but… …
When he approached and saw Demon Lord, he immediately put away his killing intent: “It turned out to be Demon Lord, I have heard of your great reputation. And today, I finally see you.”
The relationship between the palace court and the rivers and lakes was not as good as outsiders think. The palace court has connection everywhere throughout the country. Even the Tiancang Pavilion was more or less working for the palace court for them to keep their face. However, the Devil’s palace has no connection to the palace court at all.
Demon Lord was part of the rivers and lakes, but he was more like a free man. He was not controlled by the rivers and lakes. He doesn’t intervene in their movements. He kills people without hesitation, but he only kills the bad guys.
In the eyes of the people in the rivers and lakes, Demon Lord was neither good nor evil. He was not a good man, but also not a bad man. Compared with those evil men walking on the road, he was much better.
In just a few years, Demon Lord’s Devil Palace has been built. He has a force that cannot be ignored, so no one has provoked him.
In the eyes of everyone, the Devil Palace was as strange as Demon Lord. The Devil’s Palace and Demon Lord has its own style. They don’t work to please the palace court. They just focused on doing business and earning money with their ability, which was very different from the rivers and lakes style of assassinating people.
Which made the Devil’s palace existence special in the rivers and lakes. Although some people don’t like the existence Devil Palace, they can’t find a reason to destroy it. Because although they were called devil, they don’t kill people who are not evil.
This principle also makes things hard for the palace court. Although the palace court was annoyed about the fact that they couldn’t intervene with Devil’s palace’s business, they couldn’t find a reason to take a shot with them.
The Devil’s palace has a secure position. They’ve been expanding in these past few years. However, the current Devil’s Palace was still not comparable to the imperial merchants, so the palace court didn’t put them in their eyes so seriously.
The Leader in command had never seen Demon Lord, but he was familiar with his iconic getup. No one in the rivers and lakes dared to pretend to be Demon Lord, because those people who pretended to be him all died.
Although the Devil Palace has no good relationship with the palace court, it also has no bad relationship with them. Right now, the emperor’s people took the initiative to talk to Demon Lord. Demon Lord didn’t make things difficult for them, but he didn’t nod nor greet them.
