"Don't!"

The Ice Phoenix, Kunpeng, and other Demon Emperors quickly intervened.

"This battle came out of nowhere; why would he challenge you without any enmity?"

"Besides, from what I know of Mang Ye, he has never issued a battle challenge before."

"And setting the battle location at the Chaos Rift, it all seems deeply significant."

"There must be a conspiracy in this!"

The Ancient Ape and Ear Mouse, along with other Demon Emperors, pondered deeply.

"With Mang Ye's level of intelligence, it doesn't seem like he's capable of concocting such a complex plan."

"No need to guess, this must be the Immortal Alliance Saint Hall stirring things up behind the scenes."

The White Tiger Emperor concluded expressionlessly.

Brother Cheng was a bit curious.

"How do you know?"

The White Tiger Emperor, appearing indifferent but actually proud, said, "I dispatched spies and saw Jiu Jue and Dark Phecda entering and exiting the Barbaric Realm."

"You really are meticulous, quite a reflection of my style!"

Brother Cheng gave a thumbs up, expressing the Demon Lord's approval.

He always had some particularly capable figures under his command, fortunately aided by the system, otherwise, he would struggle to overshadow their brilliance.

The Elder Cyan Dragon noted this and suggested directly, "Since it's the Immortal Alliance and Saint Hall inciting this, let's just clarify things with Mang Ye."

"Exactly, we can't let those two's malicious schemes succeed."

"Cancel the showdown, and while we're at it, make peace with the Barbaric Realm..."

"Hold on!"

Seeing them about to dismantle the showdown with just a few words, Brother Cheng panicked.

What's the deal?

A rare grand event on the horizon, and you want to ruin it for me?

Honestly, when he received the challenge, he was secretly delighted.

Another opportunity to stand out delivered right to his door!

Look at how majestic the challenge letter sounds—ten days later, Chaos Rift, a peak duel, unbeaten in Six Realms, the ultimate expert!

Peak, ultimate—these words directly hit Brother Cheng's sweet spot.

It's an occasion with a grandeur far surpassing any Evangelical Assembly.

How could he miss it?

"What are you doing?"

"The challenge has been issued; if I don't accept, wouldn't that make me a coward?"

"Moreover, word has already spread, with so many eager to witness the peak duel in the Six Realms. I can't disappoint everyone!"

In a way, Brother Cheng's thought process aligns quite well with that of the big guys in the Barbaric Realm.

"As the proud Demon Lord, how can I avoid battle?"

"If word got out, how could I face anyone?"

The Cyan Dragon Emperor said with disappointment, "This is clearly a trap, why are you walking right into it?"

Cang Ling chimed in, "Exactly, aren't you just making things difficult for yourself?"

In his heart, Brother Cheng thought that not getting to fight would really be difficult for him.

All the talk of schemes he didn't care for.

"Don't worry, I've seen through their schemes long ago, so I'm already on guard."

Huh?

The demons all cast skeptical glances his way.

Did you really see through it in advance?

Why does it not feel like it at all?

Cang Ling smirked, "Then tell us, what exactly are the Immortal Alliance and Saint Hall plotting?"

Brother Cheng acted mysterious, "It's not yet time to reveal that."

To prevent further questioning, he quickly changed the topic.

"This challenge is great in every way except there's one thing I'm quite dissatisfied with."

The Demon Emperors were successfully diverted and eagerly inquired.

"What is it?"

Brother Cheng sighed heavily, "There's no broadcast service, oh no, they won't allow the Transmission Immortal Artifact to share it. It's quite imperfect..."

The demons frowned and, pondering for a while, couldn't figure out its importance.

Finally, the Ear Mouse Emperor had a flash of enlightenment.

"I get it, the Demon Lord wants to expose the Immortal and Demon Realms' conspiracy in broad daylight, right?"

"The Demon Lord is wise; this move would tie the hands of the Immortal and Demon Realms!"

Brother Cheng wanted to broadcast simply to be more flamboyant.

If the Evangelical Assembly had a broadcast, allowing all over the Demon Realm to watch, why shouldn't the showdown of the top experts with Mang Ye?

He couldn't accept his glorious demeanor not being witnessed by more people.

As for the conspiracy, he didn't care to think about it.

However, since the Ear Mouse Emperor gave such a grandiose reason, he naturally went along and gave him a nod.

"Yes, the Ear Mouse minister hit my thoughts exactly, worthy of being the bright mind of the Demon Realm."

With such praise, the Ear Mouse Emperor stood tall, brimming with pride.

He slyly praised Brother Cheng as well.

"The Demon Lord's methods are profound, I realized it late and am no match for you!"

"Haha, you're too kind, too kind..."

Even Cang Ling couldn't watch anymore.

"Alright, alright, you two stop flattering each other."

"How could the Immortal and Demon Realms cooperate with us to open up their Transmission Immortal Artifacts?"

Brother Cheng glared, "Do they dare refuse? If they don't agree, I won't take up the challenge!"

Deep down, he was definitely going to accept the battle.

But the outsiders didn't know that.

The Jiu Jue Immortal Emperor and Dark Phecda Demon Emperor were dumbfounded upon receiving the news.

"They want us to open the Transmission Immortal Artifacts to broadcast his fight with Mang Ye all over the Six Realms?"

"What does he want?"

This demand was bizarre; they couldn't quite figure it out.

"Did he perhaps see through our plan?"

"We can't agree to this!"

"If we agree, when we unleash the Shadow Race while undoing the rift seal, countless people will see it."

"By then..."

By then, the Immortal Alliance and Saint Hall would truly be condemned by all.

"But he said if we don't agree, he won't fight."

"Well, that's not up to him; Mang Ye will keep provoking him, I can't believe he'll hold back!"

Jiu Jue and Dark Phecda's plots were doomed to fail.

After hearing Jiang Cheng's proposal to broadcast the battle across the Six Realms, Mang Ye, who was also quite flamboyant, wholeheartedly supported it.

"Jiang Cheng's proposal makes a lot of sense!"

"We cannot let this battle go unnoticed; everyone must see it."

He also wished for countless people to witness his moment of glory and even urged the Immortal Alliance Saint Hall to hurry up and comply.

Upon hearing this news, Jiu Jue and Dark Phecda were utterly frustrated.

Why are these two so obsessed with this irrelevant Transmission Immortal Artifact?

"Big Brother Mang Ye said if there's no Transmission Immortal Artifact, he won't fight either."

Damn, he's also using withdrawal as a threat?

The leaders of the Immortal Alliance and Saint Hall were so furious it felt suffocating; why were these two 'contestants' so hard to please?

"We have no choice but to give in to them."

"It doesn't matter, as long as we can kill Jiang Cheng, exposing the conspiracy is a small price to pay!"

"Exactly, killing him is the most important thing!"

"And Mang Ye, this time we want to get rid of him as well!"

Soon, the Immortal Alliance Saint Hall, and the Spirit Realm and Netherworld agreed to cooperate.

The battle for the title of the top expert in the Six Realms would be broadcast live to all regions using the Transmission Immortal Artifact.

The news that the two were about to engage in a peak duel spread quickly, creating a sensation across the Six Realms.
