The Scheming Fox

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

If Zhang Xuanchen were to order a continued pursuit, they might not be able to withstand it.

After all, their wounds were still bleeding, their Law Power was exhausted, and they were completely worn out.

Of course, most importantly, the things in the Devil Race's lair didn't hold much appeal for them.

The spirit medicine and mineral veins in the demon cave were almost all tainted by Devil Qi.

If an ordinary cultivator were to take it rashly, Qi Deviation at best, and their body would explode on the spot at worst.

They were also unable to cultivate the magical Law Treasure and Cultivation Method used by the Devil Race.

Staying would offer limited benefits, so naturally, they lost interest.

The leaders from all sides readily agreed.

We'll take our leave.

"Take care, Clan Leader Zhang."

"We will forever remember this great kindness."

One Flying Boat after another departed.

Qingming True Lord Hua Shisan did not leave immediately. He looked at Zhang Xuanchen, placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and respectfully said:

"Clan Leader Zhang, if it weren't for your Li Juechuan and Su Hongling today, the Alliance Army would have suffered heavy losses."

"We are both here to vanquish demons."

Zhang Xuanchen looked at him.

"There's no need for that."

Qingming True Lord shook his head.

"What needs to be said still needs to be said."

"The Nine Splendor Sword Sect owes the Zhang Family a favor. If needed in the future, just send a message."

Furthermore, after this battle, my Nine Splendor Sword Sect is no longer qualified to be the overlord of the Heavenly Dragon Sea Domain.

Once I return to my sect, I will announce my resignation from the position of overlord.

Goodbye.

After saying that, he led the disciples of the Nine Splendor Sword Sect onto the Sword Boat and flew away into the distance, giving Zhang Xuanchen no chance to speak.

The Four Great Yao Sects also stepped forward to take their leave, with the Azure Lion Yao Sect bowing respectfully.

"Venerable Blazing Firmament, we admire your performance in today's battle."

The Golden Roc Yao Sect stood beside him without speaking, only concealing his demonic Demon Qi.

Hu Nuannuan walked up to Zhang Xuanchen and bowed slightly.

"Clan Leader Zhang, you have truly broadened my horizons today."

Her voice was soft and sweet, her eyes were smiling, but the probing in her words hadn't completely disappeared.

Zhang Xuanchen looked at her, noticing her hesitant expression, and then spoke:

"Fox Yao Sect, please speak frankly."

Hu Nuannuan stopped holding the White Jade Fan and said with a smile:

"Clan Leader Zhang, it's like this. I believe that although the Myriad Baleful Fiend Cavern and the Blood Night Demon Cult have been destroyed, Hei Chuanwu fled to the Ancient Forest with two Nascent Soul Late Stage Demonized Creature."

"As for the Ancient Forest and the Cloudmist Continent, they haven't sent any troops into battle at all."

Hu Nuannuan gently waved her fan, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. "You should know that most of those Demonized Creature come from these two places."

We were fighting desperately at the front, but they didn't send anyone to help us, not even a single resource.

Not even a thank you."

As she said this, she looked up at Zhang Xuanchen, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.

"Now that the Demon Calamity has been quelled, it's somewhat inappropriate for them to sit back and enjoy peace."

Upon hearing this, the Azure Lion Yao Sect frowned slightly.

Golden Roc and the Blood Tiger Yao Sect remained silent, Hu Nuannuan Zhang Xuanchen with admiration in their eyes.

This woman is pretty brave.

They even dared to scheme against Zhang Xuanchen! Aren't they afraid of death?!

They all understood what Hu Nuannuan meant.

The Ancient Forest and the Cloudmist Continent are rich in resources. On the surface, they only have Nascent Soul cultivators, but no one can guarantee that there are no Spirit Transformation monsters deep inside, since no human or demon has ever truly ventured deep into them.

If Zhang Xuanchen were to fight the two major powers to the death, the Demon Race would have the opportunity to reap the benefits.

Hu Nuannuan wanted to use Zhang Xuanchen as a weapon, but she didn't want to make her intentions too clear.

Zhang Xuanchen looked at her, his eyes icy cold.

"Heh, Fox Yao Sect, isn't what you're saying a bit too cryptic?"

Are you... trying to teach me how to do things?

Upon hearing this, Hu Nuannuan fan froze in mid-air, a hint of panic flashing in her beautiful eyes. She quickly said:

"Clan Leader Zhang, you've misunderstood. I was merely speaking up for you."

Nothing else..."

"Snort!

"I, the Clan Leader, hate it most when people try to outsmart me."

Murderous intent flashed in Zhang Xuanchen's voice, "As for the Ancient Forest and the Cloudmist Continent, this Clan Leader will make the decision."

"If you truly have objections, you may lead your troops to attack them yourselves."

Zhang Xuanchen, observing the injuries on these Yao Sect members, softened his tone slightly.

"Gentlemen, this battle is over."

"The lair of the Demonized Creature will be dealt with by my Zhang Family; no one else needs to interfere."

You should go back.

Remember to leave your Flying Boat at the Market Ward at the edge of the mountain range once you reach it. The cultivators from various sects will then go and retrieve it.

Seeing that Zhang Xuanchen hadn't caused her any trouble, Hu Nuannuan breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, and said:

"Since Clan Leader Zhang has made all the arrangements, then I shall take my leave."

Take care.

Little Flame stood at the edge of the Mystic Firmament Warship's deck, watching the Flying Boat sail away, and snorted coldly:

"Brother Chen, that woman Hu Nuannuan clearly has ill intentions."

"What she said makes some sense."

Zhang Xuanchen raised his hand and put away the Starry Tower, his brows furrowed. "The problems of the Ancient Forest and the Cloudmist Continent will have to be dealt with sooner or later."

After all, why should they enjoy the stability we fought so hard for?

I'm not exactly a magnanimous person.

"Then why don't you make a move now?"

Zhang Xuanchen looked into the distance and replied:

The timing was wrong.

"We have just gone through a major battle, and we cannot afford to fight two forces with unclear foundations again."

My injuries will take at least a year and a half to heal.

"Moreover, didn't Hei Chuanwu and the two Nascent Soul Demonized Creature go to the Ancient Forest?"

Perhaps they will come looking for us on their own.

In that case, the initiative will be in our hands.

Little Flame's eyes lit up, "That's right, boss, you're so smart!"

I can tell that Hei Chuanwu is no pushover.

Zhang Xuanchen shook his head, turned to look at Zhang Xuanbing, and asked:

"Brother, what are the casualties in my Zhang Family?"

Upon hearing the question, Zhang Xuanbing replied:

"There have been considerable casualties."

When they arrived, the Zhang Family brought two thousand clansmen and two thousand Family General.

Now, only 1,763 members of the clan remain.

The Family General has 1,600 men left.

More than six hundred people are gone forever.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen stood in mid-air, silent for a long time, then sighed.

"Alas, memorize the list of the dead and try your best to find the bodies of my Zhang Family who perished here."

Bring it back to the Lineage.

"Okay," Zhang Xuanbing replied.

Zhang Xuanchen nodded, then looked at Little Flame and Zhang Chongxian, "Little Flame, Immortal Ancestor..."

Come with me to the Myriad Baleful Fiend Cavern.

After that, we'll go to the Blood Night Demon Cult!
