“These are no ordinary Demonkin, we must strike hard.”
After crossing out another batch of Demonkin names, Yi Chen put down the Wolf Brush soaked with blood-ink, looking quite pleased with himself.
Deep Red Points cannot be left uncut, nor can they be fully depleted; to practice sustainable overfishing, one must grasp a proper degree.
It’s the duty to execute the law-breaking Demonkin, but it cannot be done in the name of Yi Chengzi personally, it must be under the guise of the decreed “Fair Demon Codex”—a tactic devised by Yi Chen to remove himself from the equation.
Do not underestimate the apparent redundancy of Yi Chen’s maneuvers.
This method of ‘stabbing someone and then claiming it was not me, but the weapon,’ is in fact a very clever way of distancing oneself, as well as a necessary path for shaping the identity of ordinary Demonkin.
This is a carefully thought-out national policy of the Holy Venerable Jia Loulan called ‘fighting demons with demons.’
“The high-ranking Demon Nobles have too much old power, and there are too few masters among the newly risen ordinary Demonkin ranks.
To balance the power between the two, I have already harvested twice; it’s time to slow down the pace.”
“One can’t go overboard like Big A, cutting even the roots of the leeks, because I am kind!”
“Next, we should select some of the ‘good families’ from the common Demonkin to groom, and create a group of masters who support the ‘Fair Demon Codex,’ forming a new steady state against the old power of the high-ranking Demon Nobles.”
“And I, as long as I hold the ultimate martial strength and keep the interpretation of the ‘Fair Demon Codex’ firmly in my hands, adjusting the macro-control over the balance of power between the two at will, then I can rest easy.”
Yi Chen’s mind raced with a new round of brainstorming.
The operations he undertook were actually very simple to explain.
Taxation, or rather, where the money comes from, fundamentally determines the nature of an organization.
The former Western Extreme Demon Country used a KPI system to assign tasks to the various high-ranking Demon Noble families, dictating how many resources to pay to the Demon Wolf Clan annually, and anything extra you earned was yours to keep.
But Yi Chen was different.
He planned to collect protection money from all Demonkin, redistributing it as a way to grab power.
Greatly expanding the tax base while also reducing the burden on ordinary Demonkin left everyone except the unhappy Demon Nobles with a bright future.
These new vested interests would become his supporters, his right-hand men, his eyes.
Only in this way could two powerful interest groups form to check each other, and ultimately both sides would have to please him, Moyang Garan, allowing him to profit handsomely.
Only thus could he truly change the ecological landscape of the Demon Realm that had remained the same for countless years, effecting its degeneration and exercising deeper control.
Because of the Deep Red Points, Yi Chen naturally stood on the same side as the ordinary Demonkin.
Of course, if the ordinary Demonkin’s ‘fairness’ went too far, to the point of affecting Yi Chengzi himself, he might just shift his position.
This is called ‘using demons to control demons,’ resolving dilemmas by themselves.
“Tsk tsk, Yi Chengzi, ah Yi Chengzi, you’re a genius at harvesting leeks!”
“This way, even if the Human Realm’s merit system crashes, with the Demon Realm’s steady stream, Yi Chengzi will still live a life of luxury.”
A true master plays the game of strategy.
After mulling over the future developmental framework of the Demon Righteous Religion Country in his heart, Yi Chen pushed open the window.
A gentle breeze caressed his face, as soft as a young girl’s hands, making him involuntarily stretch lazily.
He looked up at the sky outside, noticing that it was almost Shen Time, and thus, Holy Venerable Jia Loulan mumbled to himself:
“No more work, no more work.”
“It’s Shen Time already, time for a drink!”
“Eh, but why do I feel a slight twitch in my eyelid, as if something bad is about to happen?”
“Ah, well, thinking won’t help; it’s useless to worry.
Is there anything in the Demon Realm that can kill me anyway?”
With this thought, Yi Chen’s face revealed a wry smile.
When one can accept even the worst outcome of a situation, that’s when one is invincible.
Since Yi Chen couldn’t figure out the reason for his sudden inspiration, he simply let it be and called out, “Someone!
Summon Selena to accompany me in drinking!”
…
…
In the Western Extreme Royal City, atop a cool pavilion on a high mountain where music resounded grandly.
These were the melodies of the Human Race, a favorite of the Holy Venerable, supplied by the leaders of Demonkin forces from across the Demon Nation, who collected musically versed Human Race slaves from all over.
“Sounds good, sounds good!”
“Well played, well sung.”
“Elegant!”
As Yi Chen laughed with self-poured drinks, a fragrant breeze approached along the mountain path, climbing up toward him.
“Selena, you’re a bit late.”
“Has the ancestral land of the Demon Wolf Clan been completely opened?”
Watching Selena arrive outside the pavilion after a few breaths, Yi Chen immediately called her to sit down.
On the day Yi Chen publicly defeated the Western Extreme Demon Lord and conquered Royal City, many Demon Nobles within the city had come out with food and wine to welcome the victorious troops. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
The treasury of the city, the secret reserves of Royal City, were handed over almost intact to the Demon Righteous Church, under Yi Chen’s control, with one exception being the ancestral land of the Demon Wolf Clan.
An ancestral land is the foundation of a Royal Family, which ordinary clan members cannot enter.
It was only after Yi Chen had eliminated strong figures such as the Western Extreme Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf, Blood Moon Demon Wolf, and Purple Winged Heavenly Wolf from the Demon Wolf Clan that he gave Selena ample opportunity to lay siege.
