The Demon Race's Purpose
Although they didn't gain many resources or spiritual items, they easily found traces of the departing Demon Beast tide.
After all, even if the Demon Beast tide that could break through the "Feng Household Territory" included Second Tier Demon Beast or even members of the Demon Race, it would still require at least a hundred Demon Beast to attack it.
The traces left by so many Demon Beast are not something that the Demon Race can easily conceal or hide.
Perhaps the Demon Race that controlled the Demon Beast tide was aware of this, so they simply didn't waste time or energy to hide or conceal the traces of these Demon Beast tides.
Kong Wenxuan and the others rode in the "Feather Boat" and followed the direction and traces of the departing Demon Beast tide, only to discover that the Demon Beast tide was heading away from their Kong Household's territory.
"This..." Kong Wenxuan looked thoughtfully at the direction in which the Demon Beast tide had left. "If this Demon Beast tide was truly controlled by the Demon Race Demon Race, with their intelligence, they should know that there are several other bloodline cultivator Lineage ' territories near this ' Feng Household Territory'."
"As a result, after the enemy controlled the Demon Beast horde to breach the Feng Household's territory, they did not attack our Kong Household's territory, or the Yan Household's or Ma Household's territory nearby. Instead, they chose to stay away!"
"So, is it because the wolf demon Lang Jitong and his Demon Beast horde suffered a crushing defeat in our ' Kong Household Territory'?"
"Knowing that our Kong Household Lineage already advanced to the ' Ninth-Grade True Spirit ' level, and knowing the suppressive and restraining effects of the ' True Spirit Star ' on the Demon Race, they became wary and chose to stay away?"
Kong Wenxuan's mind raced. Apart from this speculation, he couldn't think of any other reason why the Demon Beast horde or even the Demon Race that had breached the "Feng Household Territory" would not have chosen to attack their Kong Household Territory, or the Yan Household Territory or the Ma Lineage Territory. Instead, they chose to stay away from this area.
However, regardless of whether this Demon Beast horde, or even the Demon Race that might be behind them, chose to attack their Kong Household territory or choose to stay away from this area and avoid their Kong Household territory, Kong Wenxuan would not let them go.
So he continued to pilot the "Feather Boat," carrying his third aunt, eldest brother, and others, and followed the trail of the departing Demon Beast tide.
Soon, a day passed, and as night fell, they finally caught up with the horde of Demon Beast.
Meanwhile, this group of Demon Beast was besieging the territory of yet another Bloodline Lineage.
"It's the Lark home of the Yun Household, ' Lark Peak '!"
Third Aunt Kong Yushuo immediately recognized the Bloodline Lineage being besieged by the Demon Beast horde ahead and said in a deep voice.
The Yun Household, also known as the "Lark," is one of the servant Lineage of the Du Household, known as the "True Spirit Cuckoo." The Yun Household cultivators possess the Bloodline Divine Ability of "Manipulate Cloud Qi," which allows them to absorb and exhale cloud energy for cultivation, as well as to control cloud energy for travel, combat, and defense.
Therefore, the Lark Yun Household's ancestral home, "Lark Peak," is a towering peak that reaches straight into the clouds. It is surrounded by auspicious energy and even has a defensive array formed by clouds, making it quite easy to identify.
However, at this time, the large amount of cloud defense surrounding the Yun Household's territory, "Lark Peak," had been mostly destroyed and torn apart by the attacking Demon Beast tide. The Demon Beast tide had already attacked the mountainside of "Lark Peak" and upwards, leaving only a large cloud surrounding the mountaintop to resist the Demon Beast tide's attack. It was the last place the "Lark" Yun Household held firm.
However, without outside help, the Yun Household's last stronghold, "Lark Peak," probably won't last much longer.
Although the Yun Household's territory was already in dire straits, Kong Wenxuan did not rush to rescue them. Instead, he piloted his "Feather Boat" to observe the entire Demon Beast tide and the surrounding situation.
He is searching for traces of the Demon Race that controls the Demon Beast tide!
To him, it was just Demon Beast tide of one or two hundred first-tier Demon Beast, which posed no threat to him. Even if there were two or three Second Tier Demon Beast among them, he could kill them quickly with his skills and strength.
The only threat he could pose, forcing him to be cautious, was the Demon Race hiding behind Demon Beast Demon Beast tide and controlling it.
Therefore, he must first find out and kill Demon Race that might be hiding behind the scenes.
Once the Demon Race is eliminated, the remaining Demon Beast tide will be easier to deal with.
Soon, Kong Wenxuan and the others discovered a strange place.
They saw that near the foot of "Lark Peak," the Yun Household's territory, some Demon Beast had not participated in the siege of "Lark Peak." Instead, they remained near the foot of the mountain, forming a circle around hundreds of ordinary people who were terrified, stunned, and ashen-faced.
"They're from the Feng Household of ' Hummingbird '!"
On the "Feather Boat," Auntie, Eldest Brother, and others also saw these ordinary people who were surrounded and kept in captivity, and immediately recognized them.
Although these people were just ordinary people and there were no cultivators among them, their clothing and accessories all bore traces of the "Hummingbird" spirit. Many of their clothes were embroidered with Hummingbird patterns, and many of their accessories were adorned with Hummingbird feathers, all of which indicated that they came from the "Hummingbird" Feng Household.
In fact, this is not only the case of the "Hummingbird" Feng Household, but also of most Bloodline Lineage. Everyone takes pride in their bloodline, and even ordinary people who have not awakened their bloodline will often wear clothes and accessories related to their bloodline.
Even within their "Peacock" Kong Household, ordinary clansmen like to embroider Peacock on their clothes and adorn their hair or hats with Peacock Feather feathers.
The cultivators from various Bloodline Lineage, including Kong Wenxuan and others from the Kong Household, did not object to this; on the contrary, they mostly expressed their support.
After all, it is beneficial for the entire Bloodline Lineage Lineage be devoted to their own bloodline, to worship and venerate it. This may even affect the success rate of bloodline awakening among the family members. So there is no reason to oppose it. On the contrary, it should be strongly supported and guided.
However, seeing members of the Feng Household, the "Hummingbird," here was unexpected for Kong Wenxuan and the others.
They thought that the Feng Household members, known as the "Hummingbird," had all been devoured by the Demon Beast horde that had breached the Feng Household's territory. However, they did not expect that hundreds of ordinary members of the Feng Household had been driven away and taken away by the Demon Beast horde and kept in captivity.
"What are these Demon Beast doing with these ordinary Feng Household members? Are they using them as backup food?"
The eldest brother, Kong Wenzhang, looked at the Feng Household who were surrounded and kept in captivity, and couldn't help but ask with some doubt.
"Demon Beast don't possess such intelligence. They would tear these ordinary members of the Feng Household to shreds and devour them on the spot. The only thing that could make these Demon Beast restrain their urge to devour them and guard these ordinary members of the Feng Household without attacking them is an intelligent Demon Race!"
"Therefore, it was the Demon Race that decided to take away and keep these ordinary members of the Feng Household as captives!"
Third Aunt Kong Yuyin immediately said.
"What are the Demon Race doing taking these ordinary people away and keeping them as food?" the eldest brother, Kong Wenzhang, pressed. "Are they just using them as backup food?"
"I'm afraid it's not just that!" Kong Wenxuan's gaze darkened slightly as he said in a deep voice, "Tell me, where did these intelligent Demon Race come from?"
"The Demon Race that attacked our Kong Household's territory, the wolf demon Lang Jitong, is the patriarch of the ' Gray Wolf ' Lang Household, Bloodline Lineage clan, who has fallen into demonic form!"
At this moment, Kong Yuluo, who was standing to the side, said in a deep voice, "So, Wenxuan, you mean that the Demon Race chose to take away these ordinary people from the Feng Household because they want to cultivate more Demon Race?"
