Zhou Hong let out a laugh.
If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to resort to violence, but if he didn't act, how could others back down?
Thus, Zhou Hong stated directly, "I've come today to seek a favor from Demon Emperor Li Qiang."
Upon hearing that Zhou Hong had a request, Demon Emperor Li Qiang coldly snorted and asked, "So, you're looking for me. You audacious commoner, don't blame me if I don't give you a chance to speak. What do you want with me?"
"Demon Emperor Li Qiang, it's like this. I'm an ordinary demon who has achieved demonhood under your territory. I wish to cultivate to become a Demon Emperor, and I hope you will grant me permission."
"Hahaha." Everyone present burst into laughter, finding it funnier than any joke in the world. With so many Demon Emperors here, which one wouldn't want to become a Demon Emperor? If anyone could simply be allowed to cultivate to become a Demon Emperor, then Demon Emperors would be as common as street dogs.
"Hmph, what a pipe dream. Die!" Demon Emperor Li Qiang was furious, feeling that Zhou Hong wasn't seeking a favor but was instead here to humiliate him.
"Wait." Just as he was about to strike, Zhou Hong shouted to stop him. Sudan Novel Network.
"Do you have any last words?"
"Demon Emperor Li Qiang, you may not know much about me. Although I became a demon within your domain, I have a grandfather in the Immortal Realm who possesses the power of 80 stars."
Demon Emperor Li Qiang absolutely refused to believe it and angrily retorted, "Then after I kill you, I'll send your grandfather on his way too."
Zhou Hong was helpless. He had hoped to avoid a fight if possible, but it seemed unavoidable.
In an instant, Zhou Hong unleashed the Giant Puppet. A powerful oppressive force descended, making it difficult for everyone present to breathe.
Demon Emperor Li Qiang, who was about to attack, suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.
"What is this?"
Before Li Qiang could even shout, the Giant Puppet attacked Demon Emperor Li Qiang simultaneously. The other demon ministers in the hall were terrified and scattered, fleeing in all directions. Sensing the danger, they could no longer stand and watch and simply ran.
"Boom!" Demon Emperor Li Qiang was no match. He was instantly sent flying, and the entire hall turned to ashes.
The Demon Mother, ignoring her husband, was also terrified and fled. Perhaps this was what they meant by "when disaster strikes, everyone flees for themselves."
Demon Emperor Li Qiang, who had been sent flying, hastily shouted, "Wait, wait!"
Seeing this, Zhou Hong promptly stopped the Giant Puppet.
"Wait, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you, alright?" Demon Emperor Li Qiang, realizing he was no match, quickly raised his hands in surrender. He was disheveled and looked utterly pathetic.
Although Li Qiang was unwilling, the emergence of a Demon Emperor in his territory could potentially lead to the loss of his own domain. However, now, someone who hadn't even become a Demon Emperor yet possessed the strength to kill him. What could his unwillingness achieve? Li Qiang guessed that the combined strength of Zhou Hong's Giant Puppet could at least contend with a Demon Emperor with thirty stars of power, while he himself was only an 18-star Demon Emperor.
"Li Qiang, are you willing to grant me the spot?" Zhou Hong asked with a smile.
"I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you, alright?" Li Qiang said with a forced smile.
"That's more like it. If we can be friends, why be enemies?"
Li Qiang tentatively asked, "You mentioned earlier that you have a grandfather in the Immortal Realm with the power of 80 stars. Is that true or false?"
"Is there any need for me to lie to you? If it weren't for my grandfather, how could a mere Demon King like myself defeat you?"
Li Qiang had no further doubts. Ordinary people could not possibly create such a Giant Puppet.
"Then I will give you the spot now. I only hope that when you become a Demon Emperor in the future, you will not trouble me."
"Don't worry, I won't harm your life, at least."
"So, does that mean you'll seize my territory?"
"No, I will unify the entire Demon Realm."
Li Qiang couldn't help but gasp. What an audacious statement, to unify the Demon Realm.
"Since that's the case, I'll give you the spot. What is your name?" Li Qiang took out a thick manual and looked up at Zhou Hong.
"Zhou Hong, the City Lord of Wumeng City."
Li Qiang quickly found Zhou Hong and directly granted him unlimited spots in the manual, which meant direct access to becoming a Demon Emperor.
"Alright, you are now free of any restrictions."
"Thank you." Zhou Hong chuckled. Zhou Hong wasn't afraid of him going back on his word, as once the spot was given, it could not be revoked, not even by an Immortal Emperor.
At this moment, a voice echoed in Zhou Hong's mind, congratulating him on obtaining the unlimited cultivation spot.
"Farewell." Zhou Hong immediately turned and left.
After leaving the Heavenly Court, Zhou Hong quickly returned to Wumeng City.
"How was it? Did you get the spot?" Upon Zhou Hong's return, Fairy Tianxuan flew up to him.
If Zhou Hong had indeed obtained the Demon Emperor spot, Fairy Tianxuan would be more than willing to accept him and become his woman. After all, the possibility of becoming a Demon Mother or the Queen Mother in the future was something no woman could refuse.
