Chapter 73 Enemy Approaching

Liu Youshan's eyes darted around as his mind raced.

"If Snake Lord establishes a kingdom, who would benefit the most?! Besides Snake Lord himself, it would be me, Liu Youshan!"

"As the first person to follow Snake Lord and his confidant, perhaps I could become a prime minister... Then, I wouldn't have to fear that dog Hu San anymore!"

"The Tian She Gang's (Heavenly Snake Gang) territory is indeed too small."

"Moreover, according to Bei Liu, the end of the sinkhole leads to the Great Wilderness. If Snake Lord wants to conquer the Great Wilderness in the future, it wouldn't sound good under the name of the Tian She Gang. Establishing a kingdom would be much more imposing."

Liu Youshan weighed the pros and cons, considering both Snake Lord's and his own interests. He concluded that this was feasible and that Snake Lord would most likely agree. A smile appeared on his face.

He looked at He Zhiguo and asked, "Since it's a kingdom, what should the name be?"

"How about the Tian She Kingdom (Heavenly Snake Kingdom)?"

"Doesn't sound good, lacks something."

"How about the Wan Yao Kingdom (Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom)?"

"Hmm, that's good. Snake Lord is the king of all demons, and we are all peerless great demons. Not bad, not bad."

Liu Youshan's eyes were full of smiles.

He immediately promised He Zhiguo that he would report this matter to Snake Lord at an opportune time and asked him to await the news.

"On behalf of the people of Xichuan Town, I thank Hall Master Liu and look forward to Snake Lord becoming the king of us all!" He Zhiguo said, then shouted loudly, "Long live King Cobra!"

"Long live!"

Liu Youshan echoed.

He Zhiguo smiled and retreated, taking his leave.

As soon as he left, Gao Xin, Liu Youshan's trusted aide, approached and whispered, "Hall Master, this He Zhiguo's intentions aren't pure. If the Wan Yao Kingdom (Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom) is really established, everyone will be citizens of the kingdom. Wouldn't it be difficult for Snake Lord to eat them in the future?"

"It's moral kidnapping."

Gao Xin analyzed.

Liu Youshan chuckled and shook his head, "You, ah, you, you're still too green. If Snake Lord wants to eat someone, can simple moral kidnapping restrain Snake Lord?"

"In the end, it still depends on strength!"

"Now that they themselves have proposed that Snake Lord establish a kingdom, why don't we go along with it? Then, we can also be granted official titles and ranks!"

It was a win-win situation. Liu Youshan understood it very well.

Gao Xin also showed a look of realization. It turned out that Hall Master also wanted to use this opportunity to take another step forward and completely consolidate his position.

"Then I'll write a feasibility report immediately!"

"Write it immediately, and let that Bei Liu talk about the kingdom system and benefits in the Great Wilderness. Write it all down and give Snake Lord sufficient evidence so that Snake Lord knows the benefits."

"Yes!"

Gao Xin responded and was about to leave when Liu Youshan suddenly asked again, "I heard you've started a pyramid scheme again? How's it going?"

Gao Xin respectfully said, "No fish have taken the bait yet. It takes time."

Liu Youshan nodded, "Speed it up. Snake Lord hasn't eaten anything for a few days, he must be hungry. Also, let Bei Liu and his second cousin withdraw mountain boars on time every day and prepare them for Snake Lord's needs."

He carefully instructed, being very meticulous.

But at this moment, a member of the Mouse Hall came in panic to report: "Hall Master, there's an abnormality in the sinkhole!"

Liu Youshan was shocked.

The sinkhole was the passage for alien invasions. If there was an abnormality there, it must be that another enemy had appeared.

"Quick, come with me to invite Snake Lord!"

Liu Youshan hurriedly led his gang towards the High-tech Zone. From afar, he saw that the Tiger Aspect Heavenly Stele was shattered all over the ground, and a giant python was coiled up in a huge pile of rubble, motionless.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Liu Youshan felt that Snake Lord's aura seemed to be getting more and more profound after not seeing him for a few days, and this feeling became more obvious the closer he got.

He couldn't help but feel a burst of fear and stopped far away.

"What happened?"

A majestic and cold voice sounded. Zhang Ji turned his head, his scarlet vertical pupils naturally radiating a fierce light. His eyes were more profound than usual, like an unfathomable abyss.

Liu Youshan only met his gaze for a moment, and he felt that his soul was about to sink into it. His face turned pale, and he was horrified. Snake Lord had become stronger.

He hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to meet his gaze.

Zhang Ji keenly noticed this and was satisfied in his heart.

The cultivation of this ancient forbidden technique of the Tiger Aspect Heavenly Stele was already showing effects on the improvement of his mental strength.

Liu Youshan lowered his head and respectfully said, "Snake Lord, there's an abnormality in the sinkhole. I don't know if an enemy has invaded."

A fierce light flashed in Zhang Ji's eyes, and he raised his head and said, "I haven't tasted blood or meat for many days, I'm indeed a little hungry!"

"Whoosh~"

A fishy wind blew, and a silver electric arc flashed. Zhang Ji had already disappeared from the spot, leaving only a thunderous sound, and the shattered stones of the Heavenly Stele flew in all directions.

"Quick, follow!"

Liu Youshan called a group of Mouse Hall members to follow.

Around them, the people of Xichuan Town saw this scene. After inquiring, they learned that something had happened to the sinkhole again. Their expressions changed, wondering what kind of enemy had invaded this time.

"Let's go, let's go and see!"

"Fortunately, we have the King Cobra in Xichuan Town, otherwise, we don't know how many times we would have been wiped out!"

"The King Cobra hasn't hunted for many days, he must be starving. This must be a great battle!"

People discussed excitedly, with joyful expressions, because if the King Cobra could have a full meal, it meant that he wouldn't eat them.

They didn't worry that the King Cobra wouldn't be a match for the enemy, because all along, the King Cobra seemed to be invincible.

Last time, even such a terrible thunder tribulation didn't kill it, so what else could kill it?

Everyone went to the sinkhole together.

In the ruins, Long Ma, the second cousin who was resting with her eyes closed, heard the movement and stood up abruptly, excitedly saying, "Bei Liu, cousin, could it be that the Great Wilderness Temple has sent someone to save you?"

Bei Liu was excited when he heard this, but then smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You're thinking too much. I'm just an outer affairs elder, why would the Temple care about my life or death?! Besides, there are tens of thousands of outer affairs elders in the Temple. People die on business trips in the Great Wilderness every day. Who would care about me, Bei Liu?"

Long Ma, the second cousin, hesitated and said, "Then that's strange, who could it be? Could it be that your second cousin-in-law is here to find me?"

Bei Liu instantly became excited, "Let's go, let's go and see. Second cousin-in-law is strong, maybe he can really save us from here."

The second cousin's husband, that second cousin-in-law, delivers packages in the Great Wilderness.

Don't look down on delivery guys, especially those who deliver packages in the Great Wilderness. It's a very dangerous profession. No one dares to do it without strength.

But the second cousin-in-law did it.

He's been doing it for ten years without a scratch, and he's entered and exited the territories of those thousand-year-old demons and ten-thousand-year-old fierce demons many times, delivering packages to the demon kings, but he hasn't been swallowed. His strength is unimaginable.

Bei Liu once suspected that the second cousin-in-law was also a terrifying demon king himself.

They hurried towards the wilderness sinkhole.

But before they even reached the place, they heard a lazy and disdainful voice from afar...

"Is this the abandoned ancient land? Such a small place, yet it requires this old demon of a thousand years to clean up the mess. It's using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!"

"I'll swallow you quickly, so I can make it home in time for my birthday!"

The voice didn't deliberately amplify its power, but it was still very majestic and terrifying, echoing in the void.

"Birthday? I'm afraid you won't be able to celebrate it. A funeral, on the other hand, can be held..."

Another gloomy and majestic voice sounded in the mist.
