The Great Elder had parried with his life on the line, which was also the maximum power of a high-level Saint Emperor. Although the Phoenix Emperor could withstand it, he still suffered a considerable amount of damage, and his movements were slightly sluggish. Therefore, when the enemy counterattacked, it was his turn to be unable to avoid it.
The Fox Emperor was slightly slower, but the attack that he had been accumulating for a long time had arrived on time. Furthermore, Second Elder Fox was attacking from the side. Even if the Phoenix Emperor had the ability to see through heaven and earth, it was difficult for him to avoid it completely. After evading Second Elder's sword that was filled with murderous intent, he was still hit by half of the Fox Emperor's palm force. However, it was only this half of the palm force that had caused the Phoenix Emperor to suffer heavy injuries.
In order to kill Yun Yang, the Phoenix Emperor was even prepared to suffer heavy injuries. As long as Yun Yang was dead, it would be worth it for him to suffer heavy injuries.
However, he had not expected to fall into a trap.
Cultivators who had attained the level of a Saint Emperor could recover swiftly even if they were injured. Even if their physical body was destroyed, they could reincarnate and start anew. However, the Phoenix Emperor and the Fox Emperor were the pinnacle of this world. They would rarely suffer an attack from a cultivator of the same level head-on. Once they suffered injuries of this level, they would need to recuperate for a period of time, and it would even hinder their future cultivation to a certain extent!
The Phoenix Emperor had suffered half of the Fox Emperor's palm force, but he used the remaining force of the collision to rise into the air, bouncing a thousand feet into the air. With a flash, he turned into a giant phoenix, circling in the air for a while before shouting, "Retreat!"
All the experts of the Phoenix Clan did not hesitate when they heard him. They attacked at the same time, then retracted their bodies and rose into the air, following the Phoenix Emperor.
A fiery cloud could be seen in the sky as it flew far away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
It was only then that the Fox Emperor landed on the ground. He actually staggered a couple of steps, his face flushed red. When Second Elder landed, he staggered seven to eight steps before he dashed forward and cried out, "Boss!"
He dug the ground with all his might without stopping.
He dug all the way down to a depth of seventy to eighty feet before he saw the Fox Clan Head Elder's body, which had almost been beaten into a meat patty. His eyes were rolling, and there was already a pool of blood beneath him.
Faced with the Phoenix Emperor's full-powered attack, the Great Elder was already on guard and had even activated his Origin Core long ago, activating a power that surpassed his own limits. However, the Great Elder was still far from being able to match the Phoenix Emperor's full-powered attack. Not only were all the bones in his body broken, even his skull was split into several pieces.
This was also because the sage possessed an almost immortal body. Otherwise, with this kind of injury, even if he were to struggle at death's door for a moment, it would still be hard to avoid the fate of bidding farewell to this world.
Speaking of which, the First Elder was able to take a full-power attack from the Phoenix Empress head-on. Although he was severely injured, he was now lying on the ground like a pile of mud, his eyes filled with terror. However, he was still a top-notch expert of the Demon Race. With this battle record, he could boast about it for the rest of his life!
After all, not everyone had the ability to take a full-powered attack from a top-notch expert like the Phoenix Empress head-on and not die!
Yun Yang had already returned to the Fox Emperor and heaved a soft sigh of relief. "The Phoenix Empress' ability is terrifying indeed. If I were the one to take this blow, even if I had eight to ten lives, I'd still be annihilated. There'd be no chance of survival!"
The Fox Emperor's expression was suffused with indescribable excitement as he said, "Child, you're indeed the culprit who stirred up the Demon Race previously. Your intelligence is truly remarkable. You managed to prepare a counterattack under such a deadly situation and f * cking succeeded. At the cost of not losing any lives on your side, you managed to injure the Phoenix Empress instead. How remarkable!"
Yun Yang chuckled. "Big brother, you're too kind. You think too highly of this young brother. If it weren't for big brother revealing the Phoenix Empress' demonic nature, temperament, and ability level, as well as our Great Elder's willingness to take such a risk, how could this plan have worked? How is the Great Elder's injury? Is it serious? "
The Fox Emperor shook his head. "Don't worry. As long as he doesn't die on the spot, it's fine. Speaking of which, the Great Elder might even have to thank you. You're the one who made him famous. Throughout the entire Demon Race, other than the emperors of each race, there's hardly anyone who can fight the Phoenix Empress and survive a full-powered attack from him!"
Yun Yang said seriously, "There's a limit to a person's strength in this plan. If not, I wouldn't have been willing to let the Great Elder take such a risk. If the Great Elder were to die, I wouldn't be able to rest easy for the rest of my life!"
The Fox Emperor's expression grew more amiable. "After this battle, the Phoenix Empress' ability will inevitably be slightly reduced. The safety factor of our return trip will increase by at least ten percent. Although he definitely won't let go just like that, with the cat and I working together, we can make him return empty-handed!"
Speak of the devil. The Cat Emperor arrived with a look of disbelief. "F * ck … You really didn't come for me? I – I – I am not as important as a human Supreme Saint? Who would f * cking believe this? Who would believe it? "
The Fox Emperor grinned and sighed. "The truth is right in front of us. What's there to say? Who's serious if we hurry on our journey at full speed now? Let's get twenty thousand miles away first before anything else. After this battle, the Phoenix Empress's respect for Yun Yang will probably go up another level. "
As expected by the Fox Emperor, the Phoenix Empress remained hidden throughout the rest of the journey, attacking ceaselessly despite her injuries.
In spite of this, Yun Yang could see clearly that the Phoenix Empress really did not want to fall out with the Fox Emperor and the Cat Emperor, so she did not attack the both of them directly. In spite of this, there were many Lords of the Fox Clan and the Cat Clan, protecting Yun Yang well. In addition to the Cat Emperor and the Fox Emperor's full protection, the Phoenix Empress could not do anything to Yun Yang.
After the first attack, the Phoenix Empress struck three times consecutively within the span of two hours. It was a thrilling experience.
These three times were different from the first. They were all direct confrontations and deceptive tricks. Against a wise person like the Phoenix Empress, it was already too many to be effective once. If she repeated the same trick again, she would only be seeking her own death!
Because of this, the Fox Emperor and the Cat Emperor worked together, one of them always by Yun Yang's side. The Phoenix Empress had no openings to exploit. Each time, it was one of the Phoenix Empress' attacks that ended after one of the Sovereigns had exchanged a blow with the Phoenix Empress.
During the last time, seeing that the Phoenix Empress was even more aggressive, the two Sovereigns attacked together and clashed fiercely with the Phoenix Empress!
The clash this time caused the three Sovereigns to suffer some injuries.
The Phoenix Empress was already injured, but she had temporarily suppressed her injuries with her strong ability. Now that she was suddenly attacked by the two Sovereigns, her injuries were worsened. She could not help but sigh at the sky.
"You two … are foolish! Foolish … "
"Perhaps we have a grudge between us, or perhaps it's hard to reconcile, but no matter what, it's an internal conflict of the Demon Race. Even if we fight until someone's brain comes out, it won't damage the Demon Race's foundation. But Yun Yang, this human, is the one who triggered the Demon Race's unprecedented bloodbath …"
"You two will definitely regret this!"
For the last time, the Phoenix Empress sighed and rose into the sky, disappearing without a trace.
This time, the Phoenix Empress had truly left.
It was not only because she had not worsened her injuries and her condition was gradually deteriorating, it was also because the Fox Clan's reinforcements arranged by the Fox Emperor had already met up here!
Further ahead would be the reinforcements of the Fox Empress and the Fox Clan's strongest combat force.
At this point, the strength brought by the Phoenix Empress was no longer enough to fight against the Fox Emperor and the Cat Emperor. If they tried their best, they would face the risk of being completely wiped out.
The Phoenix Empress understood the situation, but she was still extremely unwilling.
Now that things had come to this, she could only choose to retreat.
If she were to really go against the Fox Clan's strength, she would be provoking the Demon Race's internal strife in advance!
This was a situation that the Phoenix Empress would never be willing to see!
Before the Phoenix Empress left, she asked the Fox Emperor, puzzled, "Why?"
The Fox Emperor sneered and replied with two words, "What do you think?"
The Phoenix Emperor left in a cloud of dust.
All the Phoenix Clan's experts never appeared again.
…
Along the way, the Cat Emperor finally began to understand the process of him being rescued. He was naturally very polite to Leader Yun, who had played a decisive role in it.
When he heard that this human Leader Yun was actually the Fox Emperor's sworn brother, the Cat Emperor suddenly had an idea. "Only the two of you are a little weak. Why don't we do it together?"
"Together?" The Fox Emperor's eyes widened.
"The three of us will become sworn brothers!" The Cat Emperor was excited about this sudden idea of his, unable to stop himself.
Yun Yang and the Fox Emperor were speechless.
"Brother Yun, in order to save me this time, you've sacrificed countless treasures of heaven and earth, as well as uncountable wealth. Just the saint coins alone are already in the billions … and so many premium spirit jades and Ethereal Amethysts …"
The Cat Emperor sighed softly. "What's more, my direct descendant is still being taken care of by Brother Yun … How can I ever repay such a great favor?"
"Just in terms of riches alone, not to mention the fact that the Nine-Lives Cat Clan is poor now. Even in the past when we were at our most prosperous, we might not have been able to …" The Cat Emperor laughed self-deprecatingly. "Don't be fooled by the number of Saint Lords and experts I have under me, but these twenty-odd Saint Lords don't even have a spatial ring … How desolate is this?"
"We can't compensate for Brother Yun's sacrifice at all now. After this, Brother Yun must return to the human side … It'll be even more difficult to meet him. How can I be at ease in such a situation?"
"The only thing I can give is the identity of the Cat Clan's king!"
The Cat Emperor laughed self-deprecatingly. "I hope that Brother Yun won't despise this empty title of king."
How could Yun Yang despise it? He was more than happy!
This trip to the Demon Race had resulted in him becoming the sworn brother of two Demon Emperors. It was truly worth it!
Moreover, the Demon Clan had already been plunged into misery and suffering because of him. Now, there were two Demon Emperors, the Cat Emperor and the Fox Emperor, who were almost determined to fight the current Demon Emperor. The Demon Clan's future was almost certain to be torn apart. It would be strange if he was not happy for the sake of the human race …
After meeting up with the Fox Empress, the Fox Emperor could finally be at ease. The team of demons returned to the Fox Clan's base camp at top speed. Two demons and one human swore an oath to become sworn brothers.
The Fox Emperor was the oldest, so he became the eldest brother. The Cat Emperor was a few years younger, so he became the second brother. Yun Yang was the youngest, almost negligible compared to the two Demon Emperors, so he was naturally the third brother.
"Eldest brother!"
"Second brother!"
"Third brother!"
The Fox Empress was genuinely happy about this. From what she could see, the Fox Empress felt that Yun Yang, the human, was the most amiable one, followed by the three demonesses – Tuntun, Kitty Eat, and Kitty Fill.
Speaking of which, Yun Yang's two sworn brothers could not compare to these four banshees in terms of intimacy!
Of course, this was only relative.
The two demons and one man's ceremony was completed. Countless experts from both clans came forward to toast and congratulate them. However, these experts could not help but feel that it was absurd and unreal. Countless demons above the level of Saint Venerable and even Saint Lord called out respectfully with a bowl of wine in their hands, "Greetings, Third Master!"
This Third Master was a human, so it was only natural that he felt awkward!
However, Yun Yang did not feel awkward at all. Gracefully, he gestured, "Dispense with the formalities, dispense with the formalities."
…
On the night of the ceremony, in the Fox Clan's palace, the three freshly minted brothers … no, the three demon brothers … no, the three brothers … plotted in silence.
"Eldest brother, second brother, may I ask what plans the two of you have for the future?"
"Plans … of course … Cat, what about you?"
"I'm definitely going to rebel. Don't ask me, we're definitely not on the same side." The Cat Emperor drank.
The Fox Emperor rolled his eyes. "Not on the same side? I participated in the plan to save you, I've protected Yun Yang all the way back, I've set up the Demon Race's sovereigns to target Long Yutian … I've even invited you, a traitor, to my base camp … Up until now, you still can't tell that I'm going to rebel with you. You say you're not on the same side as me, do you still want to be recruited? "
Yun Yang could not help but chuckle.
"Fox, I'm rebelling because of the blood debt of my two billion subjects. Why are you doing this?" The Cat Emperor was puzzled.
The Phoenix Emperor, the Nine-tailed Fox, and Bai Yi of the Feline Clan were the Demon Race's three wisest men. All three of them had the same wish, which was for the Demon Race to enjoy eternal peace and stability. Now, however, the Nine-tailed Fox was saying that he was going to rebel as well!
"I want to rebel because … if I don't rebel, in the future, the people ruled by my Fox Clan will probably be in an even more miserable state than your Cat Clan."
The Fox Emperor heaved a deep sigh.
Once the news of his son's recovery and complete recovery spread, the Fox Clan would definitely become the target of public criticism!
If he had not been injured previously, he would at most be suspected because of the prophecy. That was all. Even if there were others, the Fox Emperor was confident that he could mediate. At least, it would still take a long time for him to reach the point where he and the Demon Emperor would be at odds.
Now, however, the Nine-tailed Jade had suffered a fatal injury that the Dragon and Phoenix Emperors could not save even with their combined efforts. It was such a fatal injury that would have destroyed both his soul and soul, yet he was completely fine in the end. In the blink of an eye, he was alive and kicking again, his cultivation base even increasing by a considerable margin …
This was not something that could be explained with just a few words!
Only miracles and destiny could explain it!
Regarding this point, any high-level demon who knew about their son's past would inevitably think about it. At that time, how could the Demon Emperor endure it and sit still?
There was already a prophecy that this child would become the ruler of the Demon Race. Now that he was not dead and had turned misfortune into fortune, he even had the support of the massive Fox Clan. This was obviously the greatest threat!
Since the Demon Emperor could not tolerate it, he had to be eliminated.
Although the Phoenix Emperor still had the intention to hold back and was unwilling to fight to the death with the Fox Emperor, once the Phoenix Emperor knew about his son's situation, his attitude would definitely change immediately!
It was true that the Phoenix Emperor valued brotherhood and was magnanimous in his conduct as a demon. His magnanimity was not a lie. However, the only orthodox demon race that he acknowledged was the dragon race!
The Dragon Clan was the Emperor. The Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan resonated with each other. This was the bottom line that the Phoenix Emperor could accept.
In the past, the Nine-lives Cat killed the Second Prince of the Demon Emperor. In a sense, not only did it violate the Demon Emperor's taboo, it also went against the Phoenix Emperor's bottom line. After that, the Phoenix Emperor betrayed and schemed against the young cat race because the cat race and the Demon Emperor's bloodline could no longer be reconciled. For the Demon Race's long-term plan, it was better that the cat race's core forces … did not exist!
Therefore, if any other Demon Race threatened the Dragon Clan's ruling position … the Phoenix Emperor would be the first to object!
This was something that the Fox Emperor had always seen clearly. That was why he had moved the Fox Clan close to the Blood Soul Mountain a long time ago.
Now that the situation had changed, and since it was destined that they would not be able to avoid a confrontation, he might as well seize the initiative in his own hands!
From the moment I left the Demon Imperial City, I will no longer accept the Demon Emperor's rule!
The Fox Emperor drank a cup of wine and placed the wine cup on the table carefully. He said calmly, "I have a plan. You can see if it is feasible."
