Chapter 545: Miscalculation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Pitiful Greater Rats, so you’ve been reduced to the same level as those weak humans. You actually want to choose a leader by paying lip service?”

The sudden sneer released Bai Ruocang from the awkward atmosphere he was subjected to under the eyes of the public, causing him to look at the place the voice sounded from with a hint of gratitude.

Without anyone’s notice, a white wolf had quietly appeared next to the Elder Ancestor’s coffin...

“Hahahaha... Fate really is unpredictable. Old Bai, when you used force to control me before, have you ever thought that the same thing would happen to you as well?” The white wolf looked at the coffin with disdain and said complacently.

Of course, it knew that there was no one inside, but that did not affect its joy.

He had been overconfident and got himself suppressed by Vigilante A.

Different from the mediocre and ignorant ordinary Greater Rats, it could still find out the truth with its power and position.

As soon as the other party was suppressed, the Greater Rat foundation that was painstakingly created through hard work fell into internal strife. How could it not come and watch such a great drama after it was once defeated by the hands of that Elder Ancestor Bai?

If it did not come and watch, how would it understand the intention?

Now that the drama was at its climax, it naturally showed itself.

It had private reasons to come and even more public reasons to come. The Greater Rats had always been powerful and had great potential, like the Qin during the Warring States period. They were the core force of the new Demon Alliance, so how could it be willing to give up this juicy piece of meat?

However, since it was forcefully suppressed by Elder Ancestor Bai before, it had no choice but to withdraw. Even the Demon Alliance created by its hand had to be surrendered. That was the rule of the demon race. The strongest was king.

Now that he had been suppressed by a stronger person because of his own carelessness, it believed that there were no other Greater Rats that could win against him, so it naturally showed itself.

Bai Shixin coldly looked at the white wolf. He knew exactly what it was planning, but that was a great mistake.

“Isn’t that the Demon Alliance Executive Cang Lang? What’s he doing here?” The Greater Rats attending the funeral muttered in low voices.

Many people believed that this funeral would not proceed smoothly, but for multiple incidents to happen in such a short amount of time was still out of their expectations.

Many Greater Rats were in a panic for a while. They knew that the demons were scared into submission because of Elder Ancestor’s profound strength and Heavenly Blessing, which allowed him to lead the Demon Alliance.

However, the Elder Ancestor took a wrong step. Perhaps he had been overconfident, which led to his demise. He could no longer lead them anymore.

In their opinions, Cang Lang’s strength was far superior to everyone here, including Bai Shixin and Bai Shifu.

The former’s title of a ‘useless General’ had spread even overseas, and the latter was a military commander, not an expert on valor.

At this moment, all the Greater Rats were silent. They no longer mocked Bai Ruocang as they did before.

That was because they knew that the youngster was cowardly and honest. He would not use force to bully others, so they could attack him with words as they pleased.

However, Cang Lang was different. It was a Grand Demon from the Upper Realm, extremely savage and cruel.

‘Why don’t you try scolding him a little?

‘It’ll make you drop dead in the next second.’

“Executive Lang, we’re honored by your presence. Pray tell, what’s your purpose here?” Bai Shixin lightly said.

Cang Lang did not reply immediately, but instead cast a disdainful glance at Bai Ruocang, and said rudely, “I want to be the Greater Rat King. Any objections?”

As expected, with a boom, the entire crowd of Greater Rats could not help but flare up in anger.

The relationship between wolves and rats were like natural enemies. The latter was an important part of the former’s diet. The primary prey of prairie wolves were all kinds of wild rodents.

However, there was a wolf now coming over here to say he wanted to become the Rat King?

Although they were scared of it to death, the other party’s desire to become King made them oppose from the bottom of their hearts. The contradiction of their blood and instinct gave them the courage to speak up.

If they did not speak up now and let it come to power, they might not be able to sleep peacefully in the future!

“A wolf wants to be our King? What’s the difference between this and asking a cat to guard mice?”

“That’s right. The personality of poking one’s nose into other people’s business was inherited by the wolves. Wolves are one of our natural enemies!” Countless Greater Rats expressed their displeasure.

“We object!” A Greater Rat began to shout, “How can a wolf become the Rat King? There’s no such thing in this world!”

Previously, Bai Ruocang retreated in order to advance. His tone sounded like he truly believed that he was the Elder Ancestor’s successor, but he had been completely rejected by them.

However, to tell the truth, if they had to pick one between the two, they would rather let Bai Ruocang rise to power than this wolf.

In their opinions, the former had a weak personality, so they would be able to live in order as long as they sent some assistance. However, if this wolf was in power, there would be no hope of reprieve.

If they knew more, they would realize just how ridiculous their thoughts were.

Bai Shixin’s opinion was completely the opposite of most Greater Rats.

He knew a lot, so he understood that in the very end, it would be better to let this wolf become the Rat King rather than Bao Ruocang.

The latter only came here because he was driven by revenge!

Although the former came with the purpose of using the Greater Rats, there was no hatred between them.

Even if there were some enmity, for a ruthless and ambitious person like Cang Lang, it would be able to tolerate it. It was not something a youngster like Bai Ruocang, who was impetuous and hot-blooded, could compare to.

At this moment, Cang Lang, while being mocked by the Greater Rats, coldly glanced at the crowd.

Its body suddenly jolted, and multiple golden auras emerged from its back and immediately dispersed in all directions.

In the Upper Realm ranking, the Celestial Wolf Bloodline was far higher than the Greater Rat Bloodline!

Countless Greater Rats with weaker strengths immediately fell to the ground from this aura of dominance.

Those who were slightly stronger tottered on the verge of collapse, barely managing to remain standing.

As far as the eye could see, the entire place was packed with countless fallen Greater Rats. The scene was grand and breathtaking.

“Heh, who else has any objections?” Cang Lang said triumphantly.

Then, an even more intense green aura suddenly shot down on it from above, causing it to stagger.

“Who, who dares to mount a sneak attack on me?” It was utterly discomfited at being humiliated.

“It’s me, your grand-aunt 1 !” The great green insect flew over and said, panting with rage.

“Why? We have no enmity with each other before nor any need for revenge. You’re a noblewoman from the Celestial Clan, the leader of the Spiritual Insects Clan. Why did you come here to interfere with our Demon Alliance internal matters of changing powers?” Cang Lang calmed down and asked.

It realized that it might have made a miscalculation. This great green insect’s strength was not inferior to its own, and its background was frighteningly big.

The Bodhisattva Spirit King and Vigilante A both stood by its side, let alone the relations it had in the Upper Realm...

It immediately got a headache. It had thought that this little insect was just a good-for-nothing and that it would not have any interest in these kinds of power struggle.

Before it jumped out, it had observed for very long. The other party had been standing to the side eating snacks. It looked like it was enjoying a show and did not show any presence.

‘Why did it jump out now?

‘Did I offend it before?’

At this moment, Chong Daqing explained its reasoning, “How can you use force to bully others? The Azure Dragon said before to be self-reliant and never use strength to bully others. If you want to become their King, you have to work hard for it and make them acknowledge you, not use power to oppress them and let you freeload... Even I, Chong Daqing, can’t do something as convenient as that, let alone you, you wolf!”

‘Damn it, how could a slip-up happen here!’

Cang Lang was immediately annoyed. This great green insect’s three views had long been remolded by Vigilante A. It was no wonder it miscalculated.

Who would have thought that the high and lofty Celestial Clan, that was worshipped by others, would have these kinds of thoughts as well?

What was earning one’s own living? In the Upper Realm, the Celestial Clan had numerous territories and countless offerings every year. When had they ever tended to the fields or cultivated grains?

Just by going on an inspection once in a while and suppressing a disaster or two was enough to make the people shed tears of gratitude for them and praise them for decades...
