"After the previous battle in the Tian Fa Holy Land, it had already proven the effectiveness of this method, and the results were immediate. All of us were overjoyed, and felt that we were about to succeed, and that the day we advanced into the Xuan Huang Empire was just around the corner. But you four Emperors destroyed four of them in one go! And the four that had the most people! "
The Demon King's voice was as if he wanted to devour someone. "You know that the remaining eight places combined are not even as many as the four of your four clans! You know that very well!"
"Now, this Empress has only spoken the words in my heart, yet all of you can't hold it in any longer and have flown into a rage from embarrassment? Do you feel embarrassed? If you knew that it would be hard to be embarrassed, you would have forgotten your roots! But you guys personally let the thief in! You personally agreed to the time, and you even had to respectfully send the other party out of the palace … "
The Demon King's laughter shook the entire Demon King's palace. "Do you know the situation now? Do you know that because you forgot your roots, the Demon Race has wasted hundreds of thousands of years of effort and effort? Now, you can't even take a word of mockery. Isn't this a joke? A huge joke?!"
Then, the Demon King roared again. "Who gave you the right to be so arrogant? Who gave you the right to be so arrogant? Who gave you the right to be so proud?! This Emperor can tolerate your presumptuous behavior here, but think about it, as the Emperor of the Demon Clan, what have you done?! "
The Eagle Emperor, the Eagle Emperor, the Emperor Roc, and the Emperor Condor breathed heavily. The veins on their faces were popping out and they were sweating profusely. They clenched their fists tightly but couldn't say a word.
It wasn't that they didn't feel guilty. They knew that the Demon King was right. It wasn't easy for the human captives in the underground prison to come here. Who knew how much manpower and resources had been invested in the construction of the underground prison. Just the construction alone had taken more than three thousand years!
There was also the repairs and the constant replenishment from the humans over the years. It was a huge consumption!
The Eagle Emperor touched his hooked nose and said awkwardly, "Luckily … it hasn't been completely destroyed … The Soul Devouring Tree's life force has been greatly damaged. As long as we find a way to heal it, it will be able to function again … cough cough cough …"
As he said this, he felt his face turning red.
Emperor Roc and Eagle Emperor nodded. "We will do our best to restore the Soul Devouring Tree and the array as soon as possible …"
The Demon Emperor replied coldly, "How early is early?"
The Eagle Emperor coughed. "Erm, 500 to 600 years …?"
Emperor Roc coughed as well. "I'm afraid 500 to 600 years isn't enough … But 600 to 700 years should be enough …"
The Eagle Emperor then coughed, "At the very least, he will recover in eight hundred years …"
The Crane Emperor coughed. "My situation is similar to theirs …"
The Demon Emperor felt like he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood.
However, he knew that these four emperors had lost face today. Because this matter was of great importance, they did not do anything about it. However, if he continued to pursue the matter, he was afraid that … these four fellows would really lose face.
The case of the Nine-Lives Demonic Cat was not far away. If another high-level Demon Emperor appeared, the power of the Demon Tribe would be shaken again, not to mention that there was an unknown Fox Emperor. Among the five emperors involved in the case, he was the most suspicious. Maybe he was another Cat King!
The Demon Emperor furrowed his brows and said coldly, "700 to 800 years … It might have been fine in the past, but what about now? In the battle of the Tian Fa Holy Land, because of the power of the Celestial Luck Banner, we were brought forward by 28 years. 700 to 800 years … We would have killed our way out of that passage long ago!"
The four emperors' faces were livid, but they were speechless. They knew that this was the truth, and they would only embarrass themselves even if they tried to argue.
Fortunately, the Demon Emperor did not go too far. He waved his hand and said, "Now that things have come to this, it's useless to scold you …"
After a pause, he still could not suppress his anger and said, "If it's really only 800 years, I'll admit it. But who can guarantee that the array and the Soul Devouring Tree will recover after 800 years?! Who dares? "
The four emperors were speechless again, because …
The Demon Emperor snorted. "Even now, you still can't let go of that little bit of face of yours. What's the point of bragging now? A thousand years is a thousand years! The Soul Devouring Tree is already an adult tree, and now its vitality is greatly depleted. The recovery time of a thousand years is definitely not shorter! "
The Eagle Emperor and the others were embarrassed for a while.
They were all peak experts, so how could they not know the limit of a thousand years?
The previous five to six hundred years, seven to eight hundred years, was just an excuse to stall for time!
Otherwise, what else could they say?
The Spirit Demon Emperor knocked on the table lightly and said indifferently, "What's worrying me now is that there are no clues about the Spirit Fox at all … This is not right. If the Spirit Fox is really from the Spirit Demon Clan, and if he is really from the Spirit Demon Clan, how could he not know the importance of the Soul Devouring Tree to the entire Spirit Demon Clan? How could he destroy the great cause of the Demon Race!? "
"So … I suspect … that the Demon Fox might be a human in disguise?"
As soon as he said this, the Eagle Emperor, Roc Emperor, and Eagle Emperor's expressions changed, and they said at the same time, "Absolutely impossible!"
"In this world, nothing is impossible except the unimaginable!"
An elegant voice came from outside, and said indifferently, "I think that the possibility of the Demon Fox being a human is more than 90%."
As the voice spoke, a man in a green robe floated in from outside.
The man was eight feet tall, tall, handsome, and wore a green robe. Just from his appearance, he looked more like a sage of the human race. Three strands of long beard floated in front of his chest, and he looked indescribably elegant and calm. He did not look like a demon at all.
It was as if there was nothing in this world that could catch his attention and concern.
He walked in leisurely, and the Eagle Emperor and the others immediately stood up to welcome him, their faces full of respect.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The man who came was as famous as the Demon Emperor and the Dragon Race, the Phoenix Emperor!
He was also the Demon Emperor that the Eagle Emperor and the other Demon Emperors admired and respected the most!
Although the Demon Emperor was the strongest and the top of the Demon Race, that was only in terms of strength. Moreover, the Demon Emperor race had its own inheritance, so the other Demon Emperors were only half afraid of him, and less than half respected him.
As for the other Demon Emperors, their attitudes towards the Phoenix Race, especially the Phoenix Emperor himself, were completely different.
The Demon Race had a saying: I, the Dragon Emperor, am invincible in every battle!
This saying showed the Dragon Emperor's status as the strongest in the Demon Race.
In contrast, there was another saying: I, the Phoenix Emperor, am the only one who can decide the fate of the world!
When it came to the number one killing weapon of the Demon Race, the Phoenix Emperor's wisdom was above that of the Dragon Emperor!
The Eagle Emperor and the others were very clear that if they offended the Dragon Emperor, they would just be beaten up by him, and it did not matter even if they were killed. The race could elect another Demon Emperor, and everything would still be the same.
But if they offended the Phoenix Emperor, it was completely different. He could keep scheming until your entire race was completely destroyed!
Back then, the Peacock Race, who loved beauty, boasted that their feathers were incomparably beautiful and were even more beautiful than the Phoenix Race. As a result, the two races had a conflict. One of the Phoenix Emperor's royal daughters had a conflict with the Peacock Demon Race at the Peacock Group's base, and returned with heavy injuries for some reason.
The Phoenix Emperor was furious and questioned the Peacock Emperor, but the Peacock Emperor only agreed on the surface but opposed on the inside, delaying the matter again and again. The Phoenix Emperor was furious and used all kinds of methods!
Therefore, not long after, the Peacock Race suddenly realized that they had become the enemy of the entire world, and they had offended all of them, the kind that could not be resolved.
What's more, while the Peacock Race was the enemy of the entire world, the Phoenix Race perfectly stayed out of it, as if it had nothing to do with them!
Under the Phoenix Sovereign's ruthless attacks, the flying race, which had been one of the 12 Sovereigns of the Demon Race for a long time, had been reduced to a mere two or three of them. They had almost followed in the footsteps of the Nine Lives Cat Race.
Such methods caused the Demon Emperors of the various races to tremble with fear.
He would rather offend the Dragon King and die than offend the Phoenix Empress.
At this moment, the publicly acknowledged top sage of the Demon Race had finally arrived.
If Yun Yang had been here, he would have cried out in surprise no matter how composed he was. This was because the Phoenix Sovereign's face was identical to his old rival in Tianxuan Continent – the God of Wine, Feng Xiange, or Mr. Nian!
As the Phoenix Monarch entered, the Wolf Monarch, Bear Monarch, Tiger Monarch, Panther Monarch … and the other monarchs of the various races also entered in a single file!
No less than a dozen Sovereigns entered one after another. All the Sovereigns of the various clans of the Demon Race had gathered together.
For a time, the hall was filled with greetings.
The Eagle Sovereign, the Crane Sovereign, the Roc Sovereign, and the Eagle Sovereign were the first to bear the brunt. The Demon Sovereigns of the various races stepped forward to greet them.
"Yo, Your Majesty the Eagle Emperor, I heard that you personally let the demon fox into the prison grounds to destroy the arrangements? I'm impressed. "
"Ah, Your Majesty Emperor Roc is here as well. I thought that Emperor Roc had gone to pursue the culprit. I never expected him to be so relaxed. I'm ashamed of my inferiority to his mental state …"
"Yo, Your Majesty Eagle Emperor …"
The Fourth Sovereign's veins were throbbing with rage, but he could only remain silent.
This was because the Phoenix Monarch's eyes had been looking in their direction, intentionally or otherwise. They really did not have the confidence to beat up the other sovereigns under the gaze of this pair of eyes …
It was already wrong to do so. If they were to force it, the problem would be even more serious!
"Phoenix Monarch, take the seat of honor."
The Demon Monarch beckoned.
The friendship between the Demon Monarch and the Phoenix Monarch was different from that of the other sovereigns. They were sworn brothers and had always been close brothers for so many years. They had never had a conflict. It was also thanks to the Phoenix Clan's support that the Dragon Clan could sit firmly on the seat of honor of the Demon Race!
The Phoenix Monarch sat down calmly and said with a faint smile, "We've suffered a great loss this time, but there's no need to be too anxious. No matter how anxious we are, we can't turn the situation around. Speaking of which, although today's incident has delayed the Demon Race's entry into the Bound of Universe for another thousand years, it's not necessarily a bad thing to analyze it in detail."
The Demon Monarch said in surprise, "What do you mean by that, brother? Please elaborate!"
The Phoenix Emperor smiled faintly. "Back then, in order to set up this Grand Sky-Stealing Formation, our Demon Race expended a lot of resources. Many experts even expended countless years of their lifespans in the process of setting up this formation … If we open up the passageway now, it might not be a good thing."
"We've been painstakingly setting up this Sky and Essence Stealing Formation for hundreds of thousands of years. Now, the effect is remarkable, but the Demon Race has also paid a great price for it. Their strength has been greatly reduced, while the Human Race has not lost many experts in this long period of time. Even though they have slackened their fighting spirit because of the long period of peace, but their foundation is vast, and their overall strength is much higher than ours … Even if the Human Race's population is not as large as the Demon Race's, and their individual combat strength is not as strong as our race's, but when it comes to top combat strength, they definitely have more than us. And the real key to victory between the two sides is the number of top combat strength. The best result … would be a pyrrhic victory for us, but our top combat strength would be wiped out, and we would have to be wary of the human experts who are scattered among the people at all times."
"Now that there's such an incident, there's an additional thousand years of buffer time for both sides. The Human Race will only slack off because of the more comfortable time, but the Demon Race can make use of this period of time to nurture more talents …"
"So, although this incident is not a good thing, the outcome might not be too bad. Everyone, there's no need to be too devoted to it. It's hard to let it go."
The Phoenix Emperor's tone was extremely soothing, but it was accompanied by a calming power. After all the monarchs heard this, they could not help but feel much more at ease. They were a lot happier.
Especially the Eagle Emperor and the others. They felt as if a huge stone had been lifted from their hearts, and even their breathing was smooth.
"Now, let's talk about the topic I mentioned just now. It's the key figure in this incident. That demon fox is a human. I can confirm that."
The Phoenix Emperor said slowly, "Actually, it's only so-so to confirm the other party's identity. There are three things that really make me question. Firstly, how did this human come here, and how did he pass through the Blood Soul Mountain? Secondly, the various methods of this human are too mysterious. They directly target the demon's heart, causing the demon involved to be unable to resist. As for the third thing, this person's way of doing things is watertight. He can predict the enemy's moves in advance, planning before taking action. He can be said to be an extremely dangerous person! "
"And according to the information I have, no humans can enter or leave the areas guarded by the various races … The only uncertainty is the Fox Race. I don't want to suspect any of my comrades, but now …"
The Phoenix Emperor said, "Forget it. Let's wait for Nine-tailed White to arrive first. When that time comes, everything will be clear. "
The Dragon Emperor snorted and said, "Nine-tailed White's role in this incident is almost certain. What else is there to say!"
The Phoenix Emperor frowned and said seriously, "Your Majesty, you must not jump to conclusions. Nine-tailed White will never betray the Demon Race! I can guarantee for him on this point! I've already said that everything will be clear when he arrives. I'll say this solemnly here. Do not anger him and harm the Demon Race! "
The Dragon Emperor's expression was a little strange. He coughed and said, "I don't think he will dare to come. Now, everything points to him …"
The Phoenix Emperor's expression turned serious. He suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, have you already sent someone to capture Nine-tailed White?"
The Dragon Emperor coughed awkwardly and avoided her gaze. "This … Since he is a suspect, shouldn't we capture him …"
The Phoenix Emperor's expression turned ugly. "How long has he been gone?"
"It has been … four days." The Dragon Emperor coughed again.
"…" The Phoenix Emperor sighed deeply and said seriously, "Your Majesty, what you did with the Cat Ancestor back then was already too much. It caused the Demon Race to completely lose the Nine-lives Cat Clan … Now, are you going to repeat the same mistake?"
His voice was heavy. "The Nine-tailed Fox Clan … is not like the Nine-lives Cat Clan! Once it changes, it will cause an unprecedented event for the Demon Race! It might even affect the survival of the entire Demon Race! "
He then closed his eyes and sensed for a while. Suddenly, his expression changed. "May I ask who did you send to carry out the mission, Your Majesty?"
The Dragon Emperor stared. "It was Elder Green Dragon who volunteered to go …"
"Elder Green Dragon?!"
The Phoenix Emperor's face turned pale. He said angrily, "How could Your Majesty be so foolish to send him? He and the Fox Emperor have always been enemies. They were rivals in love back then. You … "
