The mountain wind howled, snowflakes swept across their faces, and Bei Ming turned to look at Nüwa with a faint smile.
"The Demon Race has remained orderly because those clans are dependent on my territory, so naturally they must follow the rules.
"As for the Wu Clan, they have not acted because Gonggong carried out a massive slaughter outside my mountain gate back then, and I beat him into submission.
"After that, he made an agreement that they were not to lightly begin hostilities within a certain range outside Changbai Mountain.
"The Wu Clan calls itself the Orthodox Lineage of Pangu and values its word above all else. They would not speak carelessly."
At this moment, the Wu Clan tribes and Demon Race clans outside Changbai Mountain;
although tensions had risen because of Di Jun's Proclamation of the Condemnation of the Wu, both sides remained restrained.
The two sides faced off across the Ice and Snow Wilderness. The wind whipped up snow, and flags snapped in the gale, yet no one made the first move.
Everywhere else, the Demon Race had struck first, launching counterattacks against the Wu Clan and venting the humiliation and resentment accumulated over countless years through war;
only this region around Changbai Mountain still maintained a fragile peace.
For a long time, the Wu Clan and Demon Race in this area had remained in opposition;
under the agreement between Bei Ming and Gonggong, there were occasional frictions but rarely any fierce battles.
This resulted in the Demon Race here lacking any particularly strong fighting spirit.
At present, Di Jun had yet to refine the Summoning Demon Banner and could not precisely direct the actions of all the Demon Race.
On the Wu Clan's side, constrained by Gonggong's earlier agreement, they did not launch the first attack.
