Gods: Start with Goblins

The leader actually felt very humiliated by this, especially since so many people saw his ugly behavior.

However, what he is more worried about now is his own life and the throne.

Fortunately, his master was only at the eighth level of the Holy Throne. If he was any higher, he would not only be injured, but might face death.

The leader covered his chest and actually felt somewhat relieved at this moment.

However, after feeling relieved, he felt a deep sense of unwillingness.

He knew nothing, yet he let this kid get the throne.

Even if this thing is taken to the upper realm, it is a rare treasure.

Lodan's current strength is too weak. Even as the master of the throne, it is still difficult for him to exert his full strength.

But for now, it is more than enough to fight against this leader.

Looking at his hand lying on the ground, he didn't let him go so easily.

The next second, he continued to operate the throne, drawing the evil spirit to deal with him.

Just when the evil spirit was about to fall on the leader, the opponent had already stretched out his hand to resist, preparing for the final blow and putting up a stubborn resistance.

Before it could reach him, the evil spirit was suddenly blocked by a force.

Luo Dan's eyes moved, and he stepped back suddenly, with a strange look in his eyes.

The demonic energy that was blocked back made him feel a terrifying pressure.

And with such a frivolous action, it was obvious that the other party didn't take him seriously.

Seeing this, Luo Dan narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little afraid.

It seems that this is probably the person who is observing in secret, and is also the one who brings him a sense of crisis and threatens him. His strength should be above that of this leader.

Thinking of this, Luo Dan dared not underestimate the enemy or act rashly.

"I don't know which sir has done this. How can you be called a hero if you hide in the dark? Why don't you come out and see me? You must have been hiding in the dark for a long time. Why don't you want to see me?"

"Hahaha……"

As soon as he finished speaking, a distant laugh came from this cramped environment.

"As expected of you, you are the successor chosen by Senior Xue Shijiu. You are really very perceptive. You have already noticed my presence. When did I think I was hiding well?"

As he spoke, Helian Jue did not try to hide himself and revealed his true identity.

The moment he felt the pressure from this person, Luo Dan's brows tightened.

This person's strength...

He was actually unable to fully understand this man's strength, which made him feel deeply threatened.

This has never happened before.

Unless this person is stronger than this leader and has surpassed the Saint, could he be the Saint King...

Thinking of this, a severe shock passed through his heart.

It took him a while to calm himself down and speak.

"Excuse me, sir, are you a powerful Saint King..."

Helian Jue smiled, but did not deny it, which was tantamount to admitting it.

"really……"

Luo Dan muttered to himself, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"This is the lower realm. I didn't expect a Saint King to appear here. It seems like it was just an unfortunate coincidence that I bumped into him today."

He thought that for the demons in the lower world, saints were already the highest class.

Helian Jue chuckled.

"Really? Then your initial idea was not wrong. After all, I just arrived at the Demon Tribe today. If you had moved a little further, we might not have run into each other, and we might not have been able to save the Demon Tribe."

Luo Dan's face suddenly looked strange and ugly, but it didn't look very good at all.

It would have been fine if the other party didn't tell him this, but after he did, he felt uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it.

There is actually such a close thing. I don’t know whether it is bad luck or innocence.

He sighed softly in his heart, but he still had to face what he had to face.

"Your Excellency seems to want to keep this leader?"

"Of course, I'm sure you've figured it out. I'm a demon. If you want to touch my people under my nose, you have to see if I agree or not."

The expression on Luo Dan's face was very calm, and it was hard to tell what it meant.

"If you were to intervene, things would become complicated..."

"In fact, my friend, there is no need to be so hostile to us. Your throne..."

As soon as he said these two words, he saw the person in front of him showing a vigilant look, and he smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, my friend. I won't covet your things. Besides, the throne recognizes its master. Once it has an owner, unless the master is willing to give up the things, otherwise, even if others forcibly plunder it, they will only end up with nothing. So, although I like your throne very much, I will never do anything to rob it."

Luo Dan didn't say anything, as if he was evaluating whether what he said was right or wrong.

"My friend, you are not very old, so you probably don't know a lot of disputes. As for your throne, I know a thing or two, maybe even more than you do."

"My friend, we can actually be friends. There's no need to stand on opposite sides."

"friend?"

Luo Dan asked back, muttering these two words, his expression seemed a little sarcastic.

"You and I have different ideals and cannot work together. How can we be friends?"

"Haha, our races are indeed different, but we have the same person we admire, Senior Blood Nineteen, who is also your master. To be honest, I have always admired Senior Blood Nineteen, but I have always felt it was a pity when I heard that he was sealed and died."

"I never thought that I would have such a fate today. You are actually his disciple and his successor. Haha, it's really like searching for something without any effort. The successor of the person I admire is actually right in front of me. My friend, do you think this is a case of no acquaintance without fighting?"

Helian Jue is not like other demons at all. Instead, he is funny and humorous.

Moreover, there was not a single bit of malice towards Luodan, only kindness.

"My dear friend, since you have been chosen by the seniors, you must have something extraordinary. Plus, with this throne by your side, your future is limitless. Moreover, the evil spirit on your body is actually no different from our demonic spirit. My dear friend, I think the leader's suggestion is good. Do you really not want to join us? Perhaps we can become the same kind and even confidants?"

He blinked his peach blossom eyes, his gaze shining with a faint light.

Luo Dan didn't say anything, but pursed his lips, feeling somewhat speechless.

I have already clearly rejected them, but these people keep throwing olive branches at me. Could it be that I stand on the side of the demon world just because I have evil spirits?

You have to know that some things are beyond the boundaries of black and white. Not everything is black or white, and the same goes for Luodan.

"No, I'm not interested in this. Find someone else."

Luo Dan thought about it and said these self-deprecating words, and at the same time made a joke or two, just because he didn't want to make the atmosphere too bad, just to smooth things over a bit.

Helian Jue might have already thought of his attitude and didn't mind it at all.

"Of course, my friend, don't underestimate yourself. Since I have decided to extend an olive branch to you, it proves that my ability is greater than you think. My friend, you might as well try some things. There is no harm in it. Maybe you can find another shortcut."

It seems that Helian Jue doesn't want to make enemies with the other party, so he only says nice things.

Seeing this, Luo Dan breathed a sigh of relief.

At least this person has no intention of breaking up with me, nor does he intend to confront me head-on.

Whether it was out of fear of the throne or fear of his master, it was a good thing for him.

The fight just now had made Luodan realize that even with the support of the throne, the strength he could mobilize was still too low. He could still try against a saint, but it was simply impossible to jump across two levels and fight against a holy king.

You have to know that the difference in class is already a world of difference.

There can be significant gaps even within a small class.

Not to mention a large class.

Naturally, Luo Dan didn't want to confront such a person.

If they really had to fight to the death, they would both suffer losses, or die together, or this person would have a higher chance of survival than themselves.

"It seems we have to sit down and have a frank talk."

Although they were somewhat reluctant, this was the only outcome before them.

"Yes, you are a smart man, and you are also a man who knows how to act according to the times."

Luo Dan's mouth twitched at the other party's comments, and he didn't like it.

He would rather be a superior person, a crusher. The feeling of being suppressed and having to sit down and have a detailed talk is really unpleasant.

However, Luo Dan has always been patient and adaptable, so he endured it.

"Tell me, if you recruit me into the demon clan, what benefits can you give me?"

Hearing this, a hint of surprise did flash across Helian Jue's eyes.

"All the human cultivators in this world hate the demons. Why, you really don't mind joining the demons? Are you trying to tease me?"

Hearing the other party's doubts, Luo Dan felt a little unhappy.

"It was you who invited me in the beginning, and it was you who didn't believe me. Senior, I don't understand what you are thinking. Besides, since I can inherit the throne, do you think I am the kind of person who sticks to the great way? If I were really that kind of person, I'm sure Master wouldn't have chosen me."

There is something else behind his words, but there is also some logic in his words.

Helian Jue couldn't help but think of the influential figure from hundreds of years ago. That senior always did things as he pleased. He couldn't be said to be from the underworld, nor from the white world, but he was proficient in both.

If the disciple he chose had the same personality as him, it wouldn't be surprising.

"I am a little stubborn. I didn't expect that my thoughts are not as thoughtful as those of young people like you. Blame me. Please don't mind it. Of course, if you are willing to join the demon clan, there will be no shortage of benefits."

"I was eavesdropping there before and I know why you are here. How about this? We are willing to give up this opportunity. In addition, we can help you quickly enter the upper realm. You must know how rare it is to have the opportunity to enter the upper realm. Many people may not be able to achieve this goal in their entire lives. But you are different. Your master has destined you to have a bright future. Why not choose a path where many people will help you?"

Luo Dan's eyes moved, he had to say, this senior really knew how to talk.

And he is very good at arousing people's hearts. No wonder he is the upper class of the demon clan, or a person from the upper realm. He is different from the demon clan in ordinary facial paintings.

If someone else had said this, they would probably be moved.

However, Luodan is not like other people. He has experienced so many hardships along the way that he cannot trust others completely. Instead of trusting others, he should trust himself.

At the same time, what Luo Dan didn’t know was that Helian Jue also had his own ideas.

On the one hand, he took a fancy to a genius and wanted to recruit him under his command.

On the other hand, because the war in the upper realm is imminent, they need to recruit more people to strengthen the power of their demon clan.

"Senior, why do you have to help me go to the upper realm so quickly? In addition to admiration, there must be other reasons."

Helian Jue's smile faded a little, this time he was truly shocked.

"I didn't expect you to see through this. Well, since you're a smart person, let's not beat around the bush. Yes, I do have a purpose..."

He carefully considered his words and described the battle in the upper realm.

It's just not too obvious, nor too clear.

Just say it is the righteous and the demons, anyway, there have always been two camps in confrontation.

After hearing this, Luo Dan roughly understood the purpose of the person in front of him.

However, if it were just these conditions, it would not be enough to impress him.

The expression on his face faded a little, not as interested as before.

"No, it seems that I am still not suitable for cooperating with the demons, and I don't plan to join your camp."

Unexpectedly, he refused so easily. Helian Jue's face darkened for a moment.

But being an old antique, he soon recovered.

"Why? Is the offer I made not generous enough? What else do you want? Or are you planning to join the hypocritical human camp? Well, you are a human after all. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with thinking about your own people."

He said words of praise on the surface, but the smile in his eyes did not reach his heart.

Looking closely, there is a deep darkness inside, which is chilling.

At the same time, Luo Dan also shook his head.

"No, when did I say I want to join the human race? I don't plan to join your camp, nor do I plan to join the human race!"

Hearing this, Helian Jue was really confused and shocked.

"Why, then, if you don't plan to join the human race, why do you have to reject me?"

Luo Dan just stared at him steadily, his eyes cold and clear.

"Because I want to take those people's heads myself. I don't want to rely on any forces, nor do I want to join any camp. Some of the human race are my enemies, and I will definitely kill them with blood. Thank you for the olive branch you have extended to me, but I'm sorry that I cannot obey your order."

Helian Jue suddenly felt curious and surprised.

"My friend, you actually have such great ambitions. It seems that I underestimated you. Well, in that case, I won't force you. However, if you are unwilling to join, then our negotiations will be considered a failure. Let me be frank with you. My friend, if you have the ability, try to stop the demon clan's conspiracy. Anyway, I will protect the demon clan's base camp." (End of this chapter)
