Without My Help, You Aren't Going Anywhere!
Despite Elder Yuan Qi's guarantee... that everything that happened to the Bear Clan was an accident.
But Yuan Zheng still didn't believe it... After all, one accident is an accident, but when accidents happen too frequently, they might be deliberately created.
But Yuan Zheng pondered for many days: to say that the coincidences of the Bear Clan were fabricated seemed a bit too far-fetched.
Upon hearing that Hu Xinghe possessed the Star Divination Art, Yuan Zheng realized... this wasn't far-fetched at all!
This Hu Xinghe probably already deduced that the Bear Clan would go to the Fox Clan... and he must have known all this in advance, which is why he invited She Meng to appear at that most coincidental time.
And what happened after that goes without saying... At first, Yuan Zheng was puzzled. Why would She Meng and She Kui accompany Hu Xinghe on his journey to the Bear Clan?
It's true that the Snake Clan and the Fox Clan are allies, but what are the identities of She Meng and She Kui?
They could follow this Hu Xinghe so easily, and according to the information Yuan Zheng had, She Meng and She Kui seemed to respect Hu Xinghe quite a bit?
Yuan Zheng said, "This is all illogical, you know... She Kui and She Meng, let alone Hu Xinghe, last time when I asked them to do something, they made excuses for ages, and only had to do it under my coercion..."
But now, how could Hu Xinghe possibly get She Meng and She Kui to go to the Bear Clan together? Isn't it a bit too far-fetched that they're just allies?
In the Demon Race... who the hell isn't an ally of whom...? My Ape Clan even formed an alliance with the Wolf Clan a few years ago...
But alliances are never meant to be obeyed by the Demon Race; they're meant to be betrayed, okay...?
So if you're saying that because of an alliance She Meng and She Kui could go with the Bear Clan to protect Hu Xinghe, that's simply impossible.
Even the alliance between the Snake Clan and the Fox Clan seemed absurd to Yuan Zheng.
However absurd it may seem, if the Star Divination Art is incorporated, then that absurdity becomes reasonable.
The Snake Clan must have known in advance that Hu Xinghe had already mastered the Star Divination Art... and Hu Xinghe must have used the Star Divination Art to deduce something for the Snake Clan... which is why the Snake Clan was so devoted to forming an alliance with the Fox Clan.
Before heading to the Bear Clan, Hu Xinghe had probably already deduced what was going to happen, even the fact that the Bear King would be subdued by She Kui.
Otherwise, going to the Bear Clan isn't about going to fight, isn't it enough for She Meng to come along?
Why bring the She Kui along?
It must be because Hu Xinghe used the Star Divination Art to deduce that the She Kui could subdue the Bear King!
That's right! All of them are correct!
Yuan Zheng knew he had guessed correctly...
What a fine Hu Xinghe... You claim to have not received the inheritance, but you can't escape my Yuan Zheng! Stop acting!
Not only did you obtain the Star Divination Art, you obtained it long before!
However, compared to anger, Yuan Zheng more helpless.
As we all know, the Demon God originated from the Ape Clan. Back then, the Demon God controlled the entire Demon Race. However, if we were to say who was qualified to challenge the Demon God, it would probably only be the Fox Clan mastered the Star Divination Art.
The first Great Prophet of the Fox Clan is also the only being in the entire history of the Demon Race, besides the Demon God, who can be called a god!
The first great prophet was even called the Fox God!
If the Fox Clan hadn't been weak in combat, they might have been able to rival the Fox Clan Demon God back then.
Only the Ape Clan knew that before the Demon God perished, he worried that one day the Fox Clan might harbor disloyal intentions and threaten the Future of the Ape Clan.
Therefore, the Demon God left behind a Demon God Token, requiring the Fox Clan to remain neutral. Once the Fox Clan masters the Star Divination Art and chooses to pledge allegiance to either side, the Demon God Token will take effect.
This Demon God Token contains the curse power left behind by the Demon God, which can completely disable Star Divination Art and various secret arts.
This is common knowledge.
Previously, the Fox Clan only possessed Voodoo Arts, not Star Divination Art. Although the Yuan Zheng possessed the Demon God Token, it was useless...
This thing only works if the Fox Clan possesses the Star Divination Art.
Therefore, without the Star Divination Art... if the Fox Clan truly allied with the Wolf Clan, Yuan Zheng, with its Demon God Token, couldn't do anything to the Fox Clan.
But now that the Fox Clan has mastered the Star Divination Art, it's actually a good thing. With the Star Divination Art, the Fox Clan is now restricted by the Demon God Token. No matter what benefits the Wolf Clan offers, the Fox Clan will absolutely not dare to side with the Wolf Clan.
Previously, Yuan Zheng feared that the Fox Clan, with their Voodoo Arts, would defect to the Wolf Clan, which would inevitably greatly increase the Wolf Clan's strength.
But now that the Fox Clan possesses the Star Divination Art, it's not only a good thing for the entire Demon Race, but also eliminates the worry of them defecting to the Wolf Clan...
Yuan Zheng was extremely satisfied with the result.
It is true that the Star Divination Art is a divine art of the Fox Clan, but our Demon God foresaw long ago that after its demise, the Fox Clan might one day assist another race in replacing the Ape Clan.
Our Demon God had already planned everything...
Now that we Ape Clan know about this, the Fox Clan naturally know about it too. The Fox Clan, besides remaining neutral, have no reason to support any race that threatens us Ape Clan.
A neutral Fox Clan... that would only be good for the Demon Race, not bad.
Upon receiving the news, the Yuan Zheng was in high spirits...
The news of the Star Divination Art could not be kept secret. Although the news was received a step slower by all parties, the entire Demon Star Divination Art Demon Star Continent was shaken after it spread.
Countless tribes that once looked down on the Fox Clan are now exclaiming that the heavens are truly blessing the Fox Clan!
First it was Voodoo Arts, and now even Star Divination Art has appeared?
I thought the Fox Clan doomed... but I never imagined they would rise against all odds!
In the far north... Upon hearing this news, the Wolf King smashed the rare treasures on the table to pieces!
After news of the Fox Clan obtaining the Voodoo Arts spread, the Wolf Clan also attached great importance to it, and almost immediately many of the Wolf Clan's leaders began planning how to win over the Fox Clan.
If they could obtain the aid of Voodoo Arts, wouldn't the Wolf Clan advance even further?
Before things could even be resolved on this side, those who received help from the Voodoo Arts were either dead or crippled...
The Wolf Clan was also dumbfounded...
Well... while Voodoo Arts has the word "poison" in it, isn't this kind of poison a bit too outrageous?
However, the information the Wolf Clan received proved that those were all accidents, and the Wolf Clan subsequently devised a complete plan to win them over, but this plan hadn't even been implemented yet.
Has your Fox Clan obtained the Star Divination Art?
When the Wolf King first heard that the Fox Clan had obtained the Star Divination Art, Wolf King was very excited... Voodoo Arts combined with the Star Divination Art —if the Fox Clan really helped us, wouldn't we be set for life?
But the Wolf King's excitement didn't last long before the Wolf Clan's elder told Wolf King about the Demon God Token.
The Wolf King was so angry he almost peed himself after hearing that!
What kind of bullshit Demon God that! He was supposed to be the god of the entire Demon Race back then, but he was born into the Ape Clan, and almost all the benefits went to the Ape Clan...
Our Wolf Clan was suppressed back then, howling in despair...
Is this Demon God still plotting against our Wolf Clan even after his death?
Enraged, the Wolf King launched into a tirade, cursing the ancestors of the Demon God without a second thought.
However, just as the Wolf King was getting angry, the Wolf Clan's elder spoke up.
"Your Majesty, do not panic! Although the existence of the Demon God Token prevents our Wolf Clan from gaining the complete loyalty of the Fox Clan, conversely, the Ape Clan cannot gain the loyalty of the Fox Clan either."
"Although the Fox Clan cannot submit to us, Fox Clan are in a neutral position... which doesn't mean they can't help our Wolf Clan, as long as the benefits Wolf Clan offer are sufficient... The Fox Clan may be neutral, but they can still side with the Wolf Clan, right?"
It must be said that the Elder's words made the Wolf King's eyes light up.
The Grand Elder is perfectly fine!
While the Fox Clan may not submit to our Wolf Clan, they certainly won't submit to your Ape Clan either... The Ape Clan has always been proud and arrogant; they certainly don't have the capacity for endurance and humiliation that our Wolf Clan possesses.
If we offer enough benefits, Prophet Xinghe even slightly favors our Wolf Clan... that would be an enormous benefit for the Wolf Clan!
So, while the Demon God Token seems to restrict all races, your Ape Clan is actually included!
"The Grand Elder is right. How should we win over the Fox Clan?"
"Your Majesty, please don't be hasty. If Hu Xinghe's Star Divination Art is truly as rumored, then our Wolf Clan will naturally spare no effort to win him over. But the prerequisite is that we must prove whether Hu Xinghe's Star Divination Art is indeed as terrifying as the legends suggest!"
"What the Grand Elder means is..."
The Wolf King and the Grand Elder exchanged a glance, then nodded heavily in unison, their eyes revealing undisguised excitement.
The entire Demon Star Continent was abuzz with excitement because of the rebirth of the Star Divination Art.
Whether the Demon Race was excited or not, Chu Xinghe didn't know... Chu Xinghe himself wasn't excited at all...
What Star Divination Art... that's a complete scam...
No wonder the Fox Clan declined; it's not because your Fox Clan didn't produce a great prophet, it's because you didn't produce a great liar!
If we just randomly picked a few major cities from our Blazing Sun Continent and brought over a couple of fortune-telling charlatans, your Fox Clan would have produced a great prophet long ago...
But Chu Xinghe knew that explaining now was useless...
Just as Chu Xinghe was pondering with a helpless expression how to improve his con artistry, the Divine Wood Clan Mu Ran arrived at his door.
But to Chu Xinghe's surprise, Mu Ran came not to ask for help... but to say goodbye.
The reason is simple... In the cultivation of spiritual herbs, the Divine Wood Clan is indeed unique among the Demon Races, and this time, Yuan Zheng sent him here to seek help.
But Mu Ran knew very well that Yuan Zheng mainly wanted him to test Hu Xinghe's situation.
Now that they possess the Star Divination Art... wouldn't it be humiliating to try and probe them further?
Therefore, Mu Ran plans to take his leave and return to the Divine Wood Clan today, as there are still many spiritual herbs waiting for him to cultivate.
Upon hearing that Mu Ran was about to take his leave without saying a word, Chu Xinghe immediately became anxious!
What? You're leaving already? I've already gotten into position, ready to help your Divine Wood Clan. I haven't even had a chance to help you yet, and you're already thinking of leaving?
You won't go anywhere without my help, Hu Xinghe!
Come on! I'll personally accompany you to the Divine Wood Clan. I want to see just how professional you really are at cultivating spiritual herbs!
