CHAPTER 282: CHAPTER 269: THE CRISIS OF THE NINE-TAILED FOX CLAN

Demon Realm.

The periphery of the Demon Realm is now completely occupied by the Demon Clan.

A middle-aged member of the Demon Clan is sneakily appearing in a Demon Tribe at this moment.

This tribe has been occupied by the Demon Clan, and some Demons are actively helping the Demon Tribe build their homeland.

These Demon Tribes, accustomed to living in the open air, mostly reside in mountains and caves.

However, the Demon Clan has been building them houses, and gradually, cities as well.

The Demon Tribe is overwhelmed with gratitude towards them.

"Brother from the Demon Clan, come, have some water," a member of the Demon Tribe said with a face full of gratitude.

The Demon wiped his face and shyly said: "No need, it’s what I should do."

The Demon Tribe was even more touched by this gesture.

The middle-aged Demon looked on, momentarily lost for a response.

He stealthily recorded the scene and sent it to the All-Worlds Communication.

"Disciple! What exactly have you done to these Demons? They are actually helping the Demon Tribe build houses?"

This middle-aged Demon is none other than Ling Tian Sword Master, who has secretly infiltrated the Demon Realm after taking a Demon Transformation Pill.

Shi Nian took a moment to look at the footage and laughed: "Feng Ying and Zhu Lin are doing quite well."

Ling Tian Sword Master was puzzled: "Feng Ying? Zhu Lin?"

"Yes, I assigned them to take charge of the Demon Tribe’s rear. I gave some suggestions, but the specific operations were all perfected by them," Shi Nian said.

"The Demons listen to them too?" Ling Tian Sword Master still didn’t understand.

Demons are by nature ferocious; how Feng Ying and the others managed to turn them so enthusiastically helpful was puzzling.

Shi Nian asked: "Master, how did you infiltrate the Demon Realm’s rear?"

Ling Tian Sword Master instinctively replied: "This is the territory of the Demon Clan; I entered only after taking a Demon Transformation Pill."

Shi Nian said: "Oh, so did they."

Ling Tian Sword Master: "???"

He suddenly understood.

Those helping to build the Demon Tribe’s rear were not real members of the Demon Clan.

They were people from the Human Clan, just like himself, who had entered after taking Demon Transformation Pills!

The lower echelons of the Demon Tribe believe they are receiving benevolence from the Demon Clan, so when the truth comes to light later, they will naturally be grateful to the Human Clan.

This is winning over the Demon Tribe’s hearts without shedding blood!

His disciple is ruthless!

"Master, if you want to find the Mistress, feel free to ask Feng Ying and the others for help. They are now benefactors to the Demon Tribe and can mobilize many Demon Tribe members," Shi Nian suggested.

Is that even possible?

Ling Tian Sword Master replied in a daze.

Feng Ying was nearby, and she quickly met with Ling Tian Sword Master, took a portrait, and then hurried off.

As they had access to the All-Worlds Communication for information exchange, Ling Tian Sword Master did not linger and continued onward.

If Feng Ying had news, she would naturally notify him through the All-Worlds Communication.

After passing through the Demon Tribe area occupied by the Demon Clan, only the core area of the Demon Tribe lay ahead.

The core area is home to the higher echelons of the Demon Tribe, even royal bloodlines.

The Demon Tribe has even stationed heavy troops at the border now.

Even though Ling Tian Sword Master’s cultivation has reached the Mahayana Realm, it would still be a significant risk to infiltrate rashly.

But he knew that the hidden races of the Demon Tribe lived in an alternate space within the core area, and to find Ruoshui, he had to go in.

If all else fails, he might have to borrow Shi Nian’s Spirit Beast.

Ling Tian Sword Master was pondering this when...

In the core area of the Demon Realm.

At this moment, sudden drastic changes arose.

Overlord Tiger, Hu Yang.

Heaven-reaching Macaque, Macaque Peak.

Poison Giant Elephant, Elephant Real.

...

And so on.

All the ten great royal bloodlines are converging at this moment.

A ruthless expression flickered across Hu Yang’s face: "Today, we’ve located the position of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan. By assembling the strength of all the demons, we have a high probability of breaking the Barrier and forcing the Nine-tailed Clan out."

These past days, they haven’t engaged in large-scale resistance, but instead, they gave up the outer realms of the Demon Realm.

However, this does not mean they did nothing.

All this time, they’ve been searching for the hidden Demon Clans. Among these hidden clans are many experts. If they can be persuaded to join, the strength of our Demon Clan would surely increase significantly. By then, defeating the Demon Clan might not be impossible.

But.

These hidden clans dwell within various odd spaces and are extremely reclusive. Unless absolutely necessary, they would never show themselves.

If it were normal times, Hu Yang wouldn’t want to bother with them.

After all, the hidden Demon Clans are mysterious and do not utilize the resources of the Demon Realm itself. Engaging with them brings no benefits to our Demon Clan.

But now is different.

A calamity nears for the Demon Clan, and they must make their contribution.

These few days, Hu Yang has been searching for these hidden Demon Clans based on the coordinates of their odd spaces recorded in ancient texts, one by one.

Before finding the Nine-tails Clan, they have already forced out three hidden Demon Clans.

However, while the strength of these three hidden clans is not bad, it’s only just that—not bad. These hidden demons live too comfortably; most are idle and lack dedication to Cultivation.

Such strength is far inadequate to confront the Demon Clan and Human Clan.

Luckily, today.

We have located the Nine-tails Demon Clan.

Even among the hidden Demon Clans, the reputation of the Nine-tails Clan is impressive.

If the Nine-tails Demon Clan would join, not only would it increase our strength, but their leadership would also facilitate the search for other hidden Demon Clans.

Upon Hu Yang’s command.

The ten most Supreme powerhouses exert their strength simultaneously.

The whole world undergoes a tumultuous change; the heavens and earth quiver.

The space where the Nine-tails Clan resides is especially fortified, and the upheaval is particularly intense.

Ling Tian Sword Master looks up, his expression subtly changing.

This day!

Why has it suddenly changed?

Is something major happening within the Demon Clan?

Could it be related to Ruoshui?

Ling Tian Sword Master is restless.

Feng Ying sends him a message.

Upon reading it, Ling Tian Sword Master’s expression dramatically shifts.

Recently, Feng Ying had slowly established several informants within the inner realms through the peripheral demons.

This time, taking advantage of Hu Yang and the others being preoccupied with significant matters, the informants finally seized the opportunity to send out the message.

Originally.

The Demon Clan has been ceaselessly seeking hidden Demon Clans these days.

The commotion today is their assault on the Barrier of the Nine-tailed Clan.

Such a significant event was reported to Ling Tian Sword Master, who, in turn, informed Shi Nian immediately.

Upon seeing it, Shi Nian became anxious.

Does this mean her Master, a stranger to her, is about to face adversity?

This rare bloom of her Master—a formidable figure like an ancient tree—should not meet with misfortune.

Shi Nian calls out Zi Xu, ordering him once again to transform into her likeness to take her place for a few days.

Then, taking along the bald one, she heads straight for the Demon Realm.

This matter is quite serious.

Master might not be able to handle it alone.

She must go as well.

After Feng Ying’s informant delivered the news, there was no further follow-up.

However, the disturbance coming from the Demon Realm keeps growing.

This makes it even more unsettling.

Ling Tian Sword Master was about to swallow his pride and ask Shi Nian to borrow the bald one.

"Master." The crisp voice of Shi Nian is already ringing out behind him.
