Chapter 1490: Chapter 650: Meng Tuoluo Shocked! Lanling’s Gamble! (Part 2)

He is betting on the arrogance of the Demon Banner Master and the assertiveness of Princess Sha Yan.

Of course, Lanling is acutely aware that he is walking a tightrope, where a single misstep could lead to his doom, as the strength of the Rakshasa Royal Family could crush him with just a finger.

The ultimate goal of this gamble is to completely claim the Black Demon Banner Territory, stepping over Princess Sha Yan’s head to conquer this vast land of millions of square kilometers.

Princess Sha Yan paid a huge price, persuading the least promising uncle in the royal family to adopt Yu Die as his goddaughter, and made a fake gold token, inscribed with the title of Princess Yudie.

Of course, her name never made it onto the genealogy of the Rakshasa Royal Family.

Then, she once again went to the Little Rakshasa King’s Mansion to visit her brother, the Little Rakshasa King, whom she did not like!

In the resplendent hall, Princess Sha Yan once again saw Meng Tuoluo.

Immediately, she frowned slightly, was this woman really so favored? Sitting right next to the Little Rakshasa King? Could she one day replace the rightful consort Ni Shang?

“What do you want?” The Little Rakshasa King said; he was always sparing with words, his stunningly handsome face forever expressionless, as if carved from jade.

After a moment’s hesitation, Princess Sha Yan knelt and said, “Brother, Nai Shu has been defeated!”

The Little Rakshasa King’s eyes suddenly narrowed sharply, as piercing as a sword.

But the one more shocked was Meng Tuoluo.

Her beautiful eyes widened, completely unable to believe her ears.

The soft voice of Princess Sha Yan still made her ears ring a bit, like thunder.

“Not only was he defeated, but he also abandoned his army to escape alone. I have already killed him,” Princess Sha Yan said.

Meng Tuoluo glanced at her husband, then tried to keep calm and said, “Isn’t it a mistake? I personally went to the Flame Demon Tribe; it has been mostly destroyed by three Chimera Beasts, countless deaths and injuries, Lanling’s Flame Demon Tribe has been riddled with scars, and his Centaur reinforcements were completely killed off due to infighting. Nai Shu had an army of a million, plus two thousand Mammoth Tribe reinforcements, more than enough to destroy a hundred Flame Demon Tribes, so how could he be defeated?” Get full chapters from NoveI~Fire.net

Princess Sha Yan said, “Not only were Lanling’s Centaur reinforcements not eliminated, but they also swore allegiance to him, the three Chimera Beasts have become his mounts, and as for the two thousand Mammoth Tribe army, Lanling seems to have found some mysterious way to counter them.”

The Little Rakshasa King’s complexion trembled slightly, “Lanling truly gained the allegiance of all the Centaurs?”

Princess Sha Yan nodded, “Yes!”

The Little Rakshasa King closed his starlike eyes.

The Rakshasa King once said, Centaurs are the Whips of World Extinction. It’s precisely because of these words that the Rakshasa Domain has turned a blind eye to the plunder of Centaurs.

And Lanling unexpectedly gained the allegiance of all the Centaurs; this news is remarkably troubling.

And the one most impacted is undoubtedly Meng Tuoluo.

Lanling subdued three Chimera Beasts as mounts, gained the allegiance of all the Centaur tribes, and even defeated the overwhelmingly powerful Mammoth Tribe, not to mention he also defeated Nai Shu’s million-strong army.

Previously, when Meng Tuoluo went to persuade him to surrender, the Flame Demon Tribe was in jeopardy, tattered and torn.

She truly thought Lanling was doomed, without any hope. In the face of Nai Shu’s million-strong army, he wouldn’t have any resistance, the only difference being how he would die.

But unexpectedly, Lanling won, how… how is this possible?

Moreover, each of the four things Lanling did seemed almost miraculous.

Could it be… he really is the destined World-Ending Demon Emperor?

But the World-Ending Demon Emperor is just a gimmick hyped up by the Dragon Temple, isn’t it?

But if Lanling isn’t the real Demon Emperor, how did he win the allegiance of the entire Centaur tribe?

If… if Lanling really is the Demon Emperor?

Doesn’t that mean, Meng Tuoluo had chosen the wrong path, betraying Lanling was a mistake, she was shortsighted?

Meng Tuoluo suddenly remembered something, back in the Dragon Academy at the Yanjing Holy Temple, they seemed to have visited the Demonic Laboratory, where there were specimens of the Mammoth Tribe.

The Dragon Temple has long been researching the Demon Territory, virtually studying every powerful species.

But Yin Ji and Meng Tuoluo herself were never qualified to learn about the high-level secrets of the Demonic Laboratory. But the Shaojun Qili of the Rage Wave Kingdom and the Crown Prince of Xiliang Kingdom had this privilege.

And back then, the Crown Prince of Xiliang Kingdom was actually Lanyin’s fiancé, could there be some connection?

Yes, it’s definitely related to Yin Ji.

Meng Tuoluo guessed wildly and actually guessed correctly.

But, she just wanted to find every way to deny Lanling’s miracle.

“Your Highness, Lanling excels at scheming and plotting, we must investigate thoroughly how he won the allegiance of all the Centaurs, not to speculate recklessly,” Meng Tuoluo nodded, “There must be some unspeakable schemes behind these so-called miracles.”

The Little Rakshasa King nodded slightly, his new wife had hit the nail on the head.

The allegiance of all Centaurs to Lanling is something very serious, and we must thoroughly investigate before taking any actions.

Princess Sha Yan said, “The Black Demon City is now in a precarious situation. Once Lanling occupies the Black Demon City, it will inevitably bring a huge impact to the entire Rakshasa Domain. Therefore, we must immediately take actions, whether it’s military suppression or appeasement?”

The Little Rakshasa King nodded, “Go on.”

“If we use military suppression, we need to deploy a million-strong army from Rakshasa City, or even some mysterious demon armies,” Princess Sha Yan said, “Considering the current delicate situation in the entire Southern Barbaric Lands, Father is persuading the other six Demon Kings to oppose the Tiancha King. If a large-scale war breaks out in the Rakshasa Domain, it will be very unfavorable to Father’s negotiations.”

The Little Rakshasa King nodded once.

If the war is contained within the Black Demon Banner Territory, that’s manageable, but if intervention from Rakshasa City becomes necessary, it will become a major issue.

Father’s negotiations with the other six Demon Kings are at a critical juncture, with a defense alliance about to form. At this critical moment, the Rakshasa Domain must not descend into chaos.

Princess Sha Yan said, “I believe we should take a gentle approach, first stabilizing Lanling to prevent the fall of Black Demon City, and then find other means to eliminate him.”

The Little Rakshasa King said, “How do we appease?”

Princess Sha Yan said, “Offer marriage, I had Uncle Jiu adopt my attendant Yu Die as a goddaughter and verbally grant her the title of Princess Yudie, then marry her to Lanling, and enfeoff the territory of the Silver Alliance to him.”

Meng Tuoluo glanced at her husband, and with his permission, said, “I do not agree! This is a compromise, a show of weakness, making it seem the Rakshasa Royal Family is weak and easy to bully. I believe we should use military suppression, directly deploying the elite and powerful demon armies to obliterate Lanling’s Flame Demon Tribe and all Centaur armies with overwhelming force. If fast enough, it will not cause chaos. We could resolve the crisis before the other twelve Demon Banner territories and the other seven Demon Domains even react!”

At this moment, Meng Tuoluo truly held no ulterior motives.

Because she felt a crisis, she wanted to prove by any means that Lanling is not truly a Demon Emperor.

How to prove it? Simply by killing him, that would be enough proof.

That way, her choice wouldn’t be wrong. Since Meng Tuoluo’s choices have never led her to regret.

Just like when she fell in love with Ji Mengbai against everyone’s objections, even severing ties with her parents. And the result was her betrayal and abandonment by Ji Mengbai, ending up with nothing and becoming the Black Widow, yet she did not regret it.

This time, she chose to betray Lanling, and she will not regret it, she will see it through to the end.

There is no regret in Meng Tuoluo’s dictionary.

“We must ensure no one sees the Rakshasa Royal Family as weak and easy to bully. Should we resort to appeasement with Lanling, a second and third Lanling will rise to rebel,” Meng Tuoluo said coldly, “Therefore, we must use thunderous military measures, obliterating him instantly with the most formidable power, demonstrating the mighty will and strength of the Rakshasa Royal Family to all tribes!”

After speaking, Meng Tuoluo stood up and knelt on one knee before the Little Rakshasa King, “Your Highness, the dignity of the Rakshasa Royal Family is inviolable! Lanling’s rebellion must be crushed.”
