The demon world in the Gate Between Worlds was divided into three zones and one hundred and eight territories, divided according to strength into ninety-six outer territories, eight middle territories, and four inner territories. According to overall strength, the Sky-Swallowing Toad clan was situated in one of the four inner territories. The disputes between the four inner territories were far more complicated than those between the middle and outer territories.
At the same time, the four great Yao Gods of the four inner regions were also the strongest Yao Gods. The Scorpion King of the East, the Ox Sovereign of the West, the Ghost Emperor of the South, and the Turtle Devil of the North were known as the Four Illusionary Gods of the War.
The Sky-Swallowing Toad clan lived in the territory of Scorpion King of the East, and the conflict this time revolved around Scorpion King of the East and the other three demon gods of the other territories.
On Dragon Tooth Mountain, an elder of the Sky-Swallowing Toad clan whose hair and beard were already grizzled stood at the mouth of a cliff and gazed deeply at the border in the distance. This elder was the current acting leader of the Sky-Swallowing Toad clan, Elder Wen He.
Dragon Tooth Mountain was the border crossing between the eastern and western territories. There was a border embassy there, which had originally been used to mediate conflicts between the various territories. However, in this elder's eyes, the embassy's function was completely nonexistent.
"Elder Wen, everything is ready. Everyone in the clan, young and old, is ready to evacuate … "At that moment, a ray of light fell, and a young man with an oily face landed behind Elder Wen.
Elder Wen nodded and looked up at the sky. "If I sacrifice myself to ensure the safety of my clan, it will all be worth it."
Speaking up to this point, Elder Wen turned to look at the young man behind him. "Wen Yu, after I die, everything in the clan will be handed over to you. You'll have to work harder …"
"No! I'm going with grandfather! "
The young man raised his head. "The three demon gods of the other territories' proposal to negotiate this time might be a turning point, grandfather!"
"A turning point? It can't be a turning point … this is just the three demon gods' excuse. I can't watch my grandson throw away his life … "Elder Wen sighed." In the end, you're still too young to understand the situation. No matter how we prove our innocence, it's no use when the other three territories forcefully accuse us like this. "
"Just who … did our clan offend?"
Wen Yu clenched her fists tightly, looking very angry. "Our Sky-Swallowing Toad clan has always scrupulously abided by our duties since the founding of the clan. Several years ago, the tenth generation leader was pushed by the demon kings to charge and break through enemy lines, and died a violent death … What right do the demon gods of the other three territories have to taint our innocence? Are you trying to tarnish my race by hiding a magical artifact of mass destruction for Scorpion King? "
In fact, no matter what one does, this kind of malicious act of tarnishing someone's reputation out of thin air would end up with nothing more than a sieve …
"You're still young and have a long way to go, but I'm already old …"
"The sacrifice of my clan is merely a chess piece …"
"This time, the other three territories sent people over to negotiate. They said that they want to thoroughly investigate whether our race has that weapon of mass destruction. If it is proven that we do not have it, the three territories will cancel the war against the Eastern Territory."
Elder Wen pinched his beard, and his eyes seemed to have seen through everything. "But it's impossible to cancel the war from the beginning to the end. These three territories are already prepared to join forces to suppress our Eastern Territory. There's no way Scorpion King will allow the other three territories to enter our Eastern Territory to conduct a search during this negotiation … "
At this point, the young man already completely understood …
Scorpion King was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
The existence of a magic artifact of mass destruction in the Eastern Territory was a nonsensical rumor to begin with, but the demon gods of the other three territories were still unrelenting in their determination to conduct a search, and had repeatedly joined forces to denounce and criticize it … They declared to the other territories that they would never let this matter rest, and unless the Eastern Territory was allowed to conduct a search, they would join forces to retaliate.
What kind of shameless hoodlum behavior was this …
"If Scorpion King shows weakness, this will only make the other territories doubt the overall strength of our Eastern Territory. Right now, the eight territories of the central territory are coveting the position of the four inner territories … once Scorpion King shows weakness, it will only temporarily stop the wound. "
Elder Wen had seen through this matter from the very beginning. "At that time, the eight regions of the central region will definitely use this matter to make a big fuss … They'll kick our eastern region out of the four regions and fight for the position of the new eastern region."
The young man was silent. The war between the demon territories had always brought only pain and suffering.
The ones who really suffered were the innocent demon beasts in the process. Most demon beasts enjoyed a peaceful life, but the competition between the demon territories was such a cruel thing. Scorpion King of the Eastern Territory had always been a strong advocate. This time, the other three territories had joined forces to fight against the Eastern Territory, which in fact had something to do with Scorpion King's own character … but this was not a reason to frame others or create something out of nothing.
Wen Yu was silent as he quietly wiped away his tears. He did not cry out, but the sound of him wiping away his tears was very clear, and even sounded a little harsh in Elder Wen's ears.
He did not know if he would be able to return after leaving this time.
Wen Yu was still young, but he was the best candidate among the younger generation to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the clan …
"Wen Yu, you don't have to be too sad. Grandpa has lived to this age, and it's already enough … "Elder Wen did not look back, his gaze fixed in the direction of the border from beginning to end.
The young man lowered his eyes, feeling incomparably sad. "Grandpa … is there really no other way?"
"Looking at the current situation, there really isn't …"
Elder Wen shook his head. "I've already held a prayer meeting. Unless we can awaken Great Ancestor Jiang, there's really little hope for this. " Not too long ago, a shining demon god had appeared in the Sky-Swallowing Toad clan, and that was Great Ancestor Jiang, whose Daoist name was Venerable Demon Jiang Liu.
But speaking up to this point, Elder Wen suddenly said, "In fact, things may not be as bad as we think. Not long ago, I also had a prophetic dream. In the dream, under the illumination of a green light, our clan moved towards prosperity and prosperity … But so far, I still don't know what that green light represents …"
However, these comforting words didn't improve Wen Yu's mood.
The toad clan's prophetic dream …
Although it was a dream that could come true, there was also an element of probability to the occurrence of a dream.
Moreover, Wen Yu had never heard his grandfather mention anything about the prophetic dream before, so he treated it as comforting words. But in fact, Elder Wen had indeed dreamed of it …
At that moment, grandfather and grandson stood at the mouth of Dragon Tooth Mountain's cliff.
A cool breeze blew through Elder Wen's navy blue Daoist robe.
It was almost time …
Elder Wen was ready to leave, and it wasn't until the moment before he turned around to look at his grandson. "Wen Yu, raise your head! A man toad, a man of character! "
The young man did his best to restrain his emotions and held his head high.
"We are a clan that has been illuminated by the demon god's glory. Even if we are lonely now, you must remember, for the sake of our ancestors! For the sake of the clan, you can't lower your head at any time! "
Elder Wen stared in the direction of the peace consulate and gritted his teeth. "If I don't come back this time … I won't come back!"
