In the biggest room, on the top floor of the tallest building in Changsha, the demon lord, Wang Yuxue, sat on his comfortable, big, leather office chair.
He was looking at the city, through the large windows behind him.
It was noon and the sky was clear, but people who lived in Changsha could feel the darkness that covered them all. Wherever you lived in Changsha, you could feel this unseen pressure. You couldn't help but depressed and scared, for no reasons.
People easily angered but even when they were angry, no one dared to even lift their finger and cause any commotion. In certain sense, people lived peacefully. There was no crime. People could walk in the middle of the night without afraid being mugged. People could let their door opened while they slept and no thief would dare to steal from their homes. Women could wear bikini on the street and no one would try to harass her. Just imagine the safest place on earth and Changsha would fit the description.
It was probably also the most productive city on earth by that time. Everyone worked diligently. Public service was running perfectly. Everything was in schedule.Nobody went late to work. Nobody secretly wasted time at work. Everything worked like a perfect Switzerland clock.
It should be the best place to live on earth, but people lived in constant fear for no apparent reason.
Perhaps because they knew, there was one existence who watched them all from the tallest building in their city.
Perhaps because they still remembered the day when Wang Yuxue entered the realm. It wouldn't be too exaggerated if someone said the city was flooded by blood. Or that the cries of the people could be heard from the heaven.
Within a day, he ruled over everything in Changsha and made sure everyone knew who had their life in his hand.
Wang Yuxue was sitting on his chair, when a jet black flying object, flew toward his office. It went directly toward Wang Yuxue. It flew so fast, from the moment it could be seen from Wang Yuxue's office, until it almost hit the window, took less than a minute.
Wang Yuxue sighed and waved his hand. A strong gale of wind along with hundreds of ice in various size, hit the window in front of him. In one second, the window was gone. The broken glass flew toward that flying black object, but unseen force stopped them. Now, the broken glass were falling to the street, many people were heavily injured. It was broken into small pieces, but since it fell from such height, it was like hit by an arrowhead by the time it fell on them.
The black jet object that flew toward Wang Yuxue, entered his office through the hole that used to be a window.
"Wang Yuxue, looks like you didn't meet any opposition when you entered the realm.", said that black jet object.
It was a man in his twenties with black hair, black eyes and pale skin. He wore black leather jacket and black jean.
"Wang Yuehei ... I heard you didn't have any luck at Fuzhou.", said Wang Yuxue.
Wang Yuehei growled, "Some old fag thought he could stop me."
Wang Yuxue laughed, "Well, it seemed he did some nice work at Fuzhou. I've spread my influence as far as Quanzhou. Give me few more days and my influence will reach Fuzhou, what do you say about that?"
Wang Yuehei coldly replied, "I say don't expand to the east. You can go west or north, but from Fuzhou to the east is mine. I had some setback but it won't be for long. If you insist on expanding your territory and touch mine, I swear, I'll make you regret it."
Wang Yuxue calmly answered, "Now, now, don't get too serious about it. The King sent us to dominate this country. We shouldn't compete against each other, it would be embarrassing if we fail to conquer this country. Rather we should work together, so we could finish our mission faster than those who were sent to other countries."
"It was wrong when we thought that it would be an easy job to do. I already noticed that in several province, human began to gather and form a strong army. While our kin were spread out all over the land, many of those morons even get killed by human. I warn you, we should never underestimate them. Listen, how about this, why don't you move your forces to Changsha? We could work together and steadily expand from this city.", Wang Yuxue ended it, with an offer for Wang Yuehei.
Wang Yuehei didn't give an answer for quite some time. He was prideful in nature, of course it was common for demon lords to be prideful but Wang Yuehei was more prideful than other demon lords. The fact that Wang Yuxue already expanded his influence to several cities hurt his pride. Although he agreed with Wang Yuxue's opinion in general, he didn't want to enter the alliance. Not now, when he only had Fuzhou while Wang Yuxue had four other cities aside from Changsha.
After a while, he answered, "No need. Such alliance is not necessary. You expand to the west, I'll expand to the north and east. As long as we don't stand on each others way, it's enough. We'll conquer this land. I don't need your help to do my job."
Wang Yuxue coldly smile, "If you say so ... Just remember what would happen to us, if we haven't conquered this country by the time The King enter this realm."
Wang Yuehei slightly trembled by fear when Wang Yuxue mentioned The King but he quickly recovered.
"Seven years, it is still seven years from now on. I will conquer half of this country in three years. If by that time you haven't finished your part, I will give you a hand.", Wang Yuehei answered arrogantly.
Wang Yuxue nodded his head, "If you have the confidence to do so, then be my guess. I'll conquer from Quanzhou to the west. I'll let you work on, from Fuzhou to north and east."
"For me, it's Guangdong, Hunan, Hubei, Shaanxi and all west of them. For you it will be Jiangxi, Anhui, Henan, Shanxi and all east of those province. While we divide Fujian into two. I'll keep a hold of the cities that already under my influence. You can conquer the rest of Fujian if you wish.", said Wang Yuxue to close the deal.
Wang Yuehei nodded his head, "Deal."
Wang Yuehei left the place without much words, as soon as he had Wang Yuxue's promise, he left Changsha and returned to Fuzhou. Less than a minute, he could no longer be seen from Changsha. Such was the speed of a demon lord and Wang Yuehei wasn't even specialized in speed.

Wang Yuxue still sat and watch toward the direction where Wang Yuehei disappeared. Half an hour later he closed his eyes, unseen by naked eyes, his spiritual sense spread out all over Changsha, he was looking for someone. There were hundreds of mid level demons and thousands of low level demons worked for him, here in Changsha.
He gather all his demons in Changsha, while in his other cities, he set up humans as his representatives.
He put some sort of magical tattoo on their body that gave them access to a small part of his existence. He could communicate with them through this link and through this link, these people received the ability to control, low level to mid level zombies. Only handful of higher level zombies like Ding Yun were strong enough to resist their mind control.
Through millions of zombies in the other cities, the demons who were living in Changsha, received their share of power and raised their strength.
If anyone wanted to attack Wang Yuxue's force, then first they need to go through millions of zombies and their fellow human who worked for Wang Yuxue.
Once they got through, they would face, thousands of Wang Yuxue's low level demons. If they still got through, then they would be met by hundreds of Wang Yuxue's mid level demons. And as long as Wang Yuxue expanded his territories, through his zombies army, each of Wang Yuxue's demons would grow stronger.
It took some time, but Wang Yuxue finally found, the demon he was looking for.
'Fengsu, come to my place.', he said through the spiritual sense.
A mid level demon was meditating when he suddenly heard Wang Yuxue's call. Quickly he opened his eye and ran toward Wang Yuxue's office.
'On my way, my lord.', he replied.
This mid level demon, was no other than Fengsu, the one who previously met Huang Wen near Yuan Ge village. From his speed, it seemed he broke through several levels since the time he lived near Yuan Ge village. Now, he was live in one nice apartment in Changsha. He had two female slaves and two male slaves, ready to do any of his bidding. Some other mid level demons, even lived in a much higher standard and even the low level demons had at least two slaves to serve them.
The demon's hierarchy was easily formed, anyone who was stronger than you would have higher position than you. You did anything he or she asked from you, until he/she or stronger demon said the otherwise. Wang Yuxue was the strongest in Changsha, as such he was the one who had the ultimate authority over all demons in Changsha. Fengsu ran as fast as he could, to go to Wang Yuxue's office.
An hour later, he was sitting in front of Wang Yuxue.
"Do you know the incident, where a young man killed one of our human servant in Nan An?", Wang Yuxue asked.
Fengsu nodded his head, "Yes, lord."
"I heard from several sources, that you actually met this young man before. Is that true?", asked Wang Yuxue.
For the second time Fengsu nodded, "Yes, lord. I was residing near a small village by that time. A small village west of Fuzhou."
Wang Yuxue nodded his head and said, "Tell me everything you know about his young man."
Fengsu quickly told Wang Yuxue everything he knew about Huang Wen. He hid nothing from Wang Yuxue. Including the fact that he sent Huang Wen to kill another demon, it wasn't such a big deal after all. Wang Yuxue frowned a bit, but decided to let it passed.
When Fengsu finished his story, Wang Yuxue asked, "Hmm..., so this young man, Huang Wen, he was quite strong even among humans, was he?"
Fengsu nodded his head, "Yes, lord."
For a few minutes, Wang Yuxue seemed to be lost in thought. When he turned his attention back to Fengsu, there was a smile on his face.
"Fengsu, I will give you an important assignment. If you agree to do this, I will give you links to two thousands zombies.", said Wang Yuxue.
Fengsu secretly wondered the reason behind Wang Yuxue's offer. For demon lord like Wang Yuxue, they could give him any order and he must obey.
Wang Yuxue continued, "I want you to help this man to grow stronger. Just strong enough to slowdown Wang Yuehei's progress in conquering the land. Do you understand?"
Fengsu's eyes lit up, now he understood. Wang Yuehei's arrival at Changsha was known to all demons in Changsha. It seemed, somehow Wang Yuehei offended Wang Yuxue. Now Wang Yuxue wanted to secretly give a lesson to Wang Yuehei. Just a slapped on the wrist, not enough to make Wang Yuehei's plan failed. But enough to give Wang Yuehei a headache.
Since he would secretly plan against another demon lord, Wang Yuxue didn't want to force him to accept the mission. But he offered a great deal of reward, if Fengsu agreed to help.
Fengsu carefully asked, "What if Lord Wang Yuehei find out about me?"
Wang Yuxue smiled and said, "He's better not ... or you will die before you could tell him about me."
Fengsu nodded his head, it was just expected.
Wang Yuxue, "You can leave. I'll give you a day to think about it."
Fengsu was about to leave the place, his hand was on the door's handle, when he turned and said, "I'll accept it."
At this time, of 300 mid level demons who resided in Changsha, Fengsu's was ranked at 122th. If he had 2,000 more zombies linked to him, he would be able to grow stronger, faster than several demons above his current level. He might be able to enter the top 100 in the next few months. Without that 2,000 zombies, it will be close to impossible to move up in rank. Since the distribution of zombies was directly linked to your rank in strength.
Wang Yuxue smiled, "Good ... , I don't care how, when or where. You know what you need to do and this conversation never happened."
Fengsu nodded his head, "Understood."
A few minutes later, from his office, Wang Yuxue stood near the hole that used to be the window of his office and watched Fengsu who was leaving the building.
"Yuehei ... Yuehei ... you want to conquer your share of land in three years? We'll see ... "
