As the sky brightened, rain began to fall near Celestial Demon City. The chill of early spring had yet to fade, so the rain made the sky even colder.
Demon God Mountain wasn't actually a mountain, but a valley in the mountains behind Celestial Demon City. It was drizzling incessantly and seemed to be getting heavier. However, the few tall men outside the valley were not in the mood to care about these things. Even when the rainwater had washed their golden hair and stuck it to their faces, and their expensive robes were stained by the mud on the ground, they did not have the mood to care about it. They stubbornly knelt outside the valley and stared unblinkingly at the entrance. Their faces were full of urgency and pleading.
They were all peak experts of the Golden Fur Lion Tribe. Of course, with their cultivation level, they could casually control their demon energy to blow the rain away. With their status, no one could make them kneel. They hadn't been in such a sorry state for many years. However, they didn't dare to move and willingly knelt. They even wished that the rain would get heavier and make them look even more miserable …
In order to avenge his precious son, Yao Xie had disregarded the tribe's opposition and brought two of his subordinates to the Fallen God Mountain. He had vented his anger, but he had brought the Golden Fur Lion Tribe into a dangerous situation where they were on the verge of extinction. The Lion Tribe had always been one of the strongest tribes in the Demon Race. After Yao Xie became a Holy Venerate a few hundred years ago, he became even more arrogant and had a bad reputation among the Demon Race.
Right now, the dragon had gathered all the experts from the Demon God Mountain and slaughtered their way over. They had no path of retreat, no path of escape. In the end, they could only lower their old faces and kneel here, hoping that the seniors of the Demon God Mountain would be able to help them survive this crisis.
It was just that … the few top experts who were usually awe-inspiring in the Demon God Manor had knelt here for an entire night and had been drenched by the rain for an entire morning. Yet, there was still no movement in the valley, not even the sounds of the nearby beasts.
"Great Demon God, please be magnanimous and save your people. My tribe has been deeply indebted to you for generations and will never forget it!" As time passed, the Demon Sages finally lost their patience. The dragon was about to arrive. If they were any later, Celestial Demon City would probably be filled with rivers of blood.
The valley was still silent, as if there was no one inside. A Demonic Saint became anxious. He took out a dagger and said: "Lord Demonic God, if you don't do anything, I will commit suicide here. In any case, I will die anyway!"
Seeing that there was still no response from the Demon Saint, he turned around. Gritting his teeth, he raised the dagger and slid it down his neck. However, when his dagger was about to pierce his neck, he suddenly felt that his hand couldn't move. Then he felt an invisible force hit his chest, and he was sent flying.
"Don't let your dirty blood stain the land here. Otherwise, I won't wait for the people from the House of Ares to come. I'll directly annihilate your entire Lion Clan! "
At the same time, a cold voice sounded faintly. Although the voice was calm, the content of the voice sent a chill down the spines of all the Demon Sages present.
The few of them didn't care about the life and death of the Demon Sage that was sent flying. They quickly kowtowed again and shouted: "Lord, please save our tribe. Lord, please be merciful. Since we are all from the Demon Clan, please help us this once …"
The valley fell into silence once again like a stagnant pond. Occasionally, there would be a ripple caused by a falling rock, but it would instantly die down. The Demon Sages didn't dare to move. They just stared at the valley, hoping that the voice would be heard again.
"Disperse. We won't do anything. Moreover, we can't do anything!"
After a long time, the voice sounded again. However, it wasn't the same voice as before. Instead, it was a delicate woman's voice.
Can't do anything?
The few of them looked at each other in surprise. They hurriedly asked: "Lord, why can't you do anything? Won't you do anything even if the entire Demon Clan is annihilated?"
"Sigh … You have your rules, and we have ours. If we do anything, those old farts from the House of Ares will have an excuse to join forces with all the god-rank powerhouses of the Flame Dragon Continent to kill us. When that happens … I'm afraid the Demon Clan will really be annihilated …" The female Demon seemed to be more patient than the owner of the voice. She sighed deeply and explained to them.
"Ah … could it be that the heavens really want the Lion Clan to die?" The few of them understood and instantly cried out in despair …
It seemed that god-rank powerhouses had their own rules. They probably couldn't do anything in a secular war. They probably wouldn't interfere even if their tribe was annihilated. However, it was easy to understand after thinking about it. God-rank powerhouses were so powerful that they could probably destroy an entire city with a casual strike. If god-rank powerhouses acted recklessly, the three tribes would probably have been annihilated long ago.
"Who asked the Lion Clan to be so overbearing? You have only yourself to blame for the current situation … Go back, there's no point in staying here. As for whether the Lion Clan will be annihilated or not, that will depend on whether the Divine City's emissary is fast enough! "The delicate woman transmitted this sentence again before completely falling silent. She refused to speak again.
The few Demon Sages shook their heads helplessly. They helped the heavily injured Demon Sage up and rushed back to Heaven Demon City.
…
"Where did the Golden Lion Clan come from? Come out and accept your death! "
The few of them had just entered Heaven Demon City. Before they could return to the Lion Clan's manor, a group of people flew over from afar. They were like a dark cloud that covered the sky above Heaven Demon City. At the same time, an earth-shattering roar resounded through the sky. A violent killing intent instantly enveloped the entire Heaven Demon City.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Before the dark cloud floated over, countless powerhouses had already soared into the sky from Heaven Demon City. However, when these Demon Clan powerhouses saw the mighty House of Ares, they all hid to the side and adopted a posture as if they were watching a show.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Immediately after, all the powerhouses above the Demon Thearch level rose into the sky and followed their respective Patriarchs to occupy a corner of the sky. All the powerhouses of the Lion Clan also rapidly rose into the sky and began to confront the powerhouses of the House of Ares.
"Today is a battle for revenge. The House of Ares will only take revenge on the Lion Clan. The other clans, please retreat five kilometers to avoid being implicated. This Dragon is extremely grateful. Once this battle is over, we will immediately return to the House of Ares and will not linger. "
The Dragon Bastard's short body passed through the crowd and stood proudly as he spoke leisurely. Although his body was small, none of the Demon Clan present dared to underestimate him. After fighting him several times in the prefecture battles, they already knew that the outcome of underestimating him was death without exception.
Apart from the Lion Clan powerhouses, the other powerhouses all retreated five kilometers. At the same time, they issued orders for all the clansmen to quickly leave the city to avoid being implicated. After all, this was a real battle. The battle would definitely be intense later on. Anyone who didn't run would be a fool.
The Lion Clan didn't run. As one of the strongest races in the Demon God Residence, the Lion Clan naturally had their pride. Furthermore, Heaven Demon City was already the headquarters of their race. Where could they run to?
