Detour to Set the Array, Establishing a Foothold in the Demon Domain!

Hu Yi pointed at an island on the map and spoke.

"How did you learn of this?"

Jiang Shu's voice was calm.

Demon Monarchs stood high above all others. Moreover, the Senhu Ancestor had deliberately concealed his whereabouts, so how could Hu Yi have known?

Hu Yi fell silent for a moment before saying, "That Demon Monarch has little lifespan left. In his desperation, he grasped at any remedy. Somehow, he heard that eating the hearts of Half-Demons could ease Dao Injuries. A Clan Elder of my clan died by his hand."

So that was how it was.

That Demon Monarch had likely never imagined that these Half-Demons, insignificant as ants, would secretly gather intelligence and bury their hatred deep within their hearts—until it finally took root and sprouted into a life-taking blade.

Jiang Shu said nothing. He merely stared at the map in his hand, pondering something.

"If I am not mistaken, the Forest Tiger Clan is the powerful race your Fox-Human Clan relies upon?"

After a while, Jiang Shu slowly spoke, without the slightest trace of emotion in his voice.

Hu Yi nodded. Hatred flashed through his eyes as he said, "The Forest Tigers dwell on Ten Thousand Forest Island in the Extreme North of the Chaotic Demon Sea. Their bloodline is powerful, but their numbers are few. Thus, they approached the Fox-Human Clan and promised to protect us in exchange for our service."

The Fox-Humans were clever and intelligent. Backed by the Forest Tigers, they had established a relatively complete intelligence network in just a few decades.

It could be said that the Forest Tiger Clan's lofty status in the Chaotic Demon Sea did not rest solely upon their Demon Monarch ancestor. The Fox-Humans had also made immense contributions.

Yet the Forest Tigers were arrogant by nature.
