The Three Factions and Five Spirit Transformation Experts Converged on the Water-Fire Devil Stronghold!

Si Huo, Xu Fan, and Yu Guang stirred slightly at those words.

Clearly, like Zhui Long, all three were curious about Li Yun's origins.

But a moment later,

Si Huo shook his head.

"I don't know, but I think we'd better not get too curious."

"If the new stronghold chief wants us to know where he came from, he'll tell us. If he doesn't, we shouldn't make wild guesses and risk displeasing him."

Zhui Long's expression stiffened.

"All right. I was just curious. You're right—we shouldn't go prying."

"But this happened so suddenly, and we have a new chief. Shouldn't we let everyone under us know? Otherwise, he might show up one day only for some blind fool to offend him."

"Of course we should. The chief has changed. The Water-Fire Demon Lords are a thing of the past... What would it look like if we didn't tell our people?"

"Come on. Let's gather everyone now..."

The four deputy chiefs were efficient. Soon after leaving, they had gathered everyone in the stronghold except the hidden sentries and patrols on the square before the Righteous Gathering Hall.

They formally announced that the Water-Fire Demon Lords had fallen and that a more powerful new chief had taken over the stronghold.

Unsurprisingly,

The bombshell sent an uproar through the Water-Fire Devil Stronghold.

Many cried out in disbelief.

Some were shocked, some fearful, and others inexplicably excited.

It was no different from a dynasty gaining a new emperor.

As the saying went, a new emperor brought new ministers. Many worried that, with a new chief, the Water-Fire Devil Stronghold might lose its former glory.

If the new chief wasn't strong enough, the Water-Fire Devil Stronghold would likely be swallowed by another stronghold before long in the Crouching Dragon Mountains, where big fish ate little
