Pulling Aggro
At the exit of the Ancient Realm of Creation, a standoff ensued between the two sides.
"Clan Chief Jiang, let me give you a piece of advice: surrendering now is the wise thing to do. Your Phoenix Clan has gone too far," the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan Chief said coldly, his gaze like that of a venomous snake.
"Your Phoenix Clan sent three people in this time, and two of them received rewards on the third floor, but one person hasn't shown up yet!"
The elders of the Demon Race present had all entered the Ancient Realm of Creation and knew that the Ancient Realm was divided into three levels, and only by passing through the first level could one obtain the most basic reward.
The Demon Race alliance's prodigies failed to even pass the first level and were eliminated.
Ao Yue and his companions were defeated on the second level and received only the most basic reward.
Meng Jingzhou, Jiang Shishi, and Su Lian'er received the third level of reward.
If that's the case, it's fine; throughout history, there have been Demon Race who have obtained the third level of rewards.
The problem is that some people haven't left the secret realm, which is unprecedented!
The Ancient Realm of Creation is mysterious and unpredictable. The rewards on the third level are so generous that even those at the Body Integration Realm are envious. So, what kind of rewards will those who continue to stay in the secret realm receive?
The Nine-Headed Serpent Clan is suspected to be the financial backer of the Demonic Sound Celestial Maiden. The young master of the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan also tricked the geniuses of the Demon Race Clan Alliance in the Ancient Realm. The Nine-Headed Serpent Clan has been resented by the major Demon Race, and they urgently need to divert the attention of the Demon Race.
And the Phoenix Clan is the perfect target!
In response, the Nine Infants Clan even invited their clan leader to exert pressure.
"If your Phoenix Clan is willing to submit to the Demon Kingdom, this matter can be forgiven!"
The Nine-Headed Serpent Clan Chief's gaze turned somber, revealing the true purpose of his trip.
The Phoenix Clan was already within the scope of suppression and control by the Demon Race Alliance, but unfortunately, the Phoenix Clan had too much foundation, and the High Antiquity Emperor Jiang dared not act rashly.
This is a perfect opportunity to leverage the pressure from the Demon Race alliance and bring the phoenix clan under our control!
This is a great achievement!
"To let bygones be bygones, what a boastful tone!" The Phoenix Clan Chief sneered repeatedly, and the Nine Infant Clan Chief's thoughts were obvious.
The Phoenix Clan Chief is named Jiang Xi, a beautiful and graceful woman who wears a phoenix robe and exudes nobility. She bears a resemblance to Jiang Shishi.
The Phoenix Clan is a matriarchal race, with most of its members being powerful women. By tradition, the clan leader is always a woman.
"Your clan's genius is inferior in skill, yet you blame it on my Phoenix Clan?"
Without Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou's help in the first level, and the inspiration they provided, how could Jiang Shishi have passed the second level and obtained the Phoenix Visualization Diagram?
This is a supreme treasure of visualization left by the ancient ancestor. Jiang Shishi is already exceptionally talented, and with the help of this supreme treasure of visualization, her Tribulation Transcendence to the Tribulation Stage is a sure thing.
Based on this incident alone, the Phoenix Clan is determined to protect these two people!
The original conflict stemmed from the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan elders joining forces with the Demon Race Clan to put pressure on the Phoenix Clan.
The Phoenix Clan has allies from the Dragon Clan and a number of other races that received Lu Yang's help in the secret realm, so they are not afraid of the Demon Race Alliance.
Seeing this, the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan summoned their clan leader, and the Phoenix Clan, not to be outdone, also summoned their clan leader.
As things have progressed, the chieftains of all the major races have come to show their support and cheer for their respective races.
"What's wrong with Junior Brother? He hasn't come out for three days?" Third Senior Sister quietly asked Meng Jingzhou.
If anything were to happen to her junior brother in the secret realm, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
Meng Jingzhou gave a helpless smile, "Senior sister, not to mention that the rules of the secret realm forbid the disclosure of what happens inside, I can't say. Even if I could, I really don't know what that grandson Lu Yang is doing in the secret realm."
"Senior sister, you don't need to worry about him. Based on what I know about him, he should be safe in the secret realm, maybe even more comfortable than we are outside."
Meng Jingzhou knows best what trump cards Lu Yang has up his sleeve. He has High Antiquity immortal protecting him internally, and he can summon his senior sister with his Imitation Fist technique. He cultivates both internally and externally, so what could possibly happen to him?
"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!"
The Nine-Headed Serpent Clan Chief's face turned fierce. Most of the Demon Race had already joined the Demon Kingdom, and the High Antiquity Emperor Jiang's unification of the demon realm was a foregone conclusion. The Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan couldn't see the situation clearly and still dared to put up a last-ditch resistance. He had kindly advised them to join the Demon Kingdom as soon as possible, and yet they were treated like this.
They really don't know how to spell the word "death"!
"Haha, it's so lively here?"
A hearty laugh echoed from the sky, signaling the arrival of forces from outside the Demon Realm!
"Isn't this the Hydra? I imprisoned you in this secret realm for five years, remember? It's been over a thousand years since we last met, hasn't it?"
"Hey you from the Taotie tribe, what's your name again? Do you remember me? I even beat you up!"
Meng Jingzhou recognized the voice. He looked up and saw his master.
The Third Elder sat on a cloud, chuckling as he recounted the embarrassing incidents committed by the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan Chief and other demons.
Besides the Third Elder, there are also the First Elder, Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, and Seventh Elder.
More than half of the elders of the Ask Dao Sect have arrived at the Ancient Realm of Creation.
"We've finally arrived." The third senior sister breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that things were escalating, she contacted the eldest senior sister to ask what to do.
The senior sister's reply was simple: I'll send someone over to distract them.
Just as the Demon Kingdom was about to be established, all the major forces in the cultivation world sent people over, including the Ask Dao Sect Seeking Sect. The eldest sister then asked the elders who were going to attend the Demon Kingdom's founding ceremony to help Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.
" From the Ask Dao Sect!"
Upon seeing these familiar faces, the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan Chief flew into a rage, his face contorted in fury, and with a bang, he transformed into the true form of the Nine-Headed Serpent, a body composed of nine Sky-Devouring Pythons.
He remembered the events of a thousand years ago vividly. If it weren't for these guys, he wouldn't have been imprisoned in the secret realm for five years!
He almost neglected his cultivation!
The chieftain of the Taotie tribe was equally furious. A thousand years ago, he was a proud and ambitious genius admired by everyone in the Taotie tribe. At the height of his fame, those guys from the Ask Dao Sect privately challenged him to a duel.
If those guys from the Ask Dao Sect had used some tricks to win against him, that would have been fine. But that time it was a fair duel, and he was outmatched in skill, losing to the third brother of the Ask Dao Sect in a contest of physical strength and power!
He considered this a great disgrace and told no one about it, and he was depressed about it for a long time.
Now that the Ask Dao Sect has brought this matter to light and made it public, how can he tolerate it!
Not only these two races, but even the usually good-natured Jade Rabbit race showed a fierce look when they saw the elders of the Ask Dao Sect.
"They're from the Ask Dao Sect! Everyone, attack!"
Seeing the Ask Dao Sect expose their embarrassing moments one by one, the demons forgot all about manners and etiquette, and disregarded the Demon Race alliance. They only wanted to swarm forward and capture them!
The great demons revealed their true forms one after another, and for a time, demons danced wildly, Yao Qi soared into the sky.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the elder quickly pulled everyone away and ran.
"Stop right there if you dare!" The Nine-Headed Serpent Clan Chief chased after him desperately, but the First Elder wouldn't listen to the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan Chief's nonsense. He rode the clouds and fled at top speed!
The bustling Ancient Realm of Creation instantly became empty, leaving only the Third Senior Sister and Meng Jingzhou looking at each other in bewilderment.
Even the Phoenix Clan caught up with them.
Although the Phoenix Clan and the Ask Dao Sect have no deep-seated hatred, it would seem out of place not to pursue them at this time.
Meng Jingzhou's lips twitched. Luckily, he had kept a low profile in the Demon Realm and hadn't revealed his identity Ask Dao Sect Inquiry Sect. What would have happened if he had?
"Haha, I'm out!"
The exit of the Ancient Realm of Creation opened, and Lu Yang emerged, waiting to be welcomed by everyone.
Where are they?
The second update will be at 11 PM.
