Chapter 894 - A New Ally (1/2)

Jin Ling was willing to do anything to hold onto the throne. If he had already managed to get Jinde back, he might not care but as long as he hadn't, he needed to hold onto his current position. Otherwise, he might lose out on some opportunities. Both to find Jinde and to make him forgive him.

After all, he didn't yet know how Jinde would react when they saw each other once again. Would he be happy? Would he still be angry? It could be both. He just didn't know. So he definitely couldn't give up something that might be a bargaining chip in that situation.

Jinde had always wished for peace among the immortal races. And the demons wanted to have the dragons be part of their own race again. Being able to make them submit because they defeated them in the war was one option but they would naturally also be open to other options.

After all, the demons weren't particular about the means they used to achieve something. The only thing that counted was the end result. And the end result in their opinion had to be that there was one strong demon race once again that incorporated everything and that stood against the gods.

This was their pride and they were not willing to abandon this pride. Having to deal with two demon kings that would ask this of them had made quite a few of them unwilling to bow their heads any longer.

Jian Heng had been able to keep them under control because he was strong and an old fox that knew how to deal with everyone and everything. Jin Ling had had much more trouble than his father. He had still been able to deal with it for a long time because he knew how to use people and also use himself. He had no bottom line when it came to this. After all, he had always wanted to achieve Jinde's wish.

Now, he once again entered the same mode of dealing with people. Threatening who he had to threaten, flattering who he had to flatter, coercing who he had to coerce.

The means didn't matter. What he had to give up for that didn't matter either. Whether it was selling himself, selling a wife, or selling out an ally. He was willing to do anything. Now more than ever before. After all, he was just a step short of achieving his goal. He would not give up now. He would persist and he would get what he wanted.

This was a foregone conclusion. After everything he had given to achieve his goal, there was no chance that he wouldn't be able to get it. Heaven couldn't be that unfair.

At the same time, Yin Lin Lin went to talk to Yong Hai. Inwardly, she couldn't help but be nervous. She trusted in Jin Ling's ability to judge the situation but that didn't mean that she was confident that she would be able to pull this off.

Yes, she had originally thought of first checking with Jin Ling to see how he thought and then maybe help him against Yong Hai but seeing just how many people were willing to betray her husband, she finally understood just how grave the situation was. If she didn't manage to pull this off, she would die.

She took a deep breath and then knocked on Yong Hai's door.

There was a slight pause on the other end before the demon called out. ”Who is it?”
