Chapter 290: Demon Race Secret News
Half a day later.
The Parrot Demon King couldn’t stand it anymore and advised bitterly, “Lord, you’d better put that mask of yours on. You’re attracting too much attention like this! I can’t stand it!”
Chen Chen was speechless.
He thought that it was just a coincidence that the Heaven-Shaking Wild Bear had come to stop them. To his surprise, he met four or five more who tried to stop them. Some began to get physical immediately, while some pretended to be kind and tried to travel together with him.
However, Chen Chen dealt with all of them.
He was fine, but the Parrot Demon King beneath him had lost almost all of his feathers, with only the ones on his back, where Chen Chen was sitting, intact.
“Lord, I beg you! Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll die before I reach the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range.”
The Parrot Demon King turned his head behind, revealing his swollen and slightly deformed face.
“Is there any justice in this demon territory!?”
Chen Chen slapped his thighs and started hollering furiously.
He went to the demon territory as a human and finally got a demonic face. Yet, the Parrot Demon King wanted him to pretend to be a human to keep a low profile!
‘What nonsense is that? Unbelievable!’
While being overwhelmed with righteous indignation, Chen Chen put on the mask which made him look demonic yet handsome. He clearly looked like a high-ranking demon who had just transformed.
The Parrot Demon King thanked him profusely after hearing his words and even teared up.
As a Nascent Soul realm Demon King, he had never felt so helpless before. During the battle between the Essence Soul realm Demon Emperors, the person riding him was fine. Yet, he could no longer hold out, even though he was an innocent party.
‘Seems like I’d better not go to the human territory as a Nascent Soul realm cultivator. The world out there is too terrifying.’
…
After Chen Chen covered his bright yellow face, the rest of their journey became a lot smoother and basically, no other experts came to block them.
Chen Chen looked at the distant sky and fell into contemplation.
He did not expect that Botanic Demons would have such a hard time blending in with the crowd. If he guessed correctly, the Heavenly Diabolism master should be a Botanic Demon.
‘Did she join the Heavenly Diabolism because of these matters? Is that why she’s wreaking havoc in the demon territory in order to take revenge?’
The more Chen Chen thought about it, the more likely he felt it was. He soon imagined the tragic scene of a certain soap drama centered around discrimination.
‘No wonder the Heavenly Diabolism master is so nice to Xiao Hua and Little Yellow. She even gave them two leaves.’
‘They’re born from the same race, they met too late…’
…
A day later.
The Parrot Demon King pointed to a mountain range that stretched across dozens of kilometers and said, “Lord, that is the abode of the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range.”
Chen Chen nodded after coming to a realization.
In the distance, the demonic aura was extremely dense, and the highest mountain peak was shining brightly with rays of light that intertwined around it.
Under the light of the divine senses, many active demons could be seen in the vicinity, among which there were three or four Demon Emperors.
It seemed that it was indeed the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range he had marked on the map.
“Lord, can I go now?” The Parrot Demon King asked timidly.
“No, you still have to take me back when I’m done with my business here. You’re an old bird so you should know the way. I don’t have time to figure out the directions alone slowly.”
Chen Chen shook his head decisively, and without waiting for the Parrot Demon King to protest, he smacked the Parrot Demon King unconscious and threw him into the Little Carefree Immortal Palace.
After doing that, Chen Chen leaned towards the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range quietly.
If there were no Void Refinement realm demons in the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range, the strongest would probably be at the peak of the Essence Soul realm so he wasn’t worried about being in danger.
However, saving Hu Xian’er was not as simple as sneaking in to bring her out secretly.
He also had to consider the matter of the land of the two states.
Hence, Hu Xian’er cannot lose her position in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.
…
It was nighttime.
Chen Chen summoned Green Bean and opened the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan’s protective array before slipping in sneakily.
However, after entering, he did not dare to move around.
At this moment, he missed Yuan Qingtian a little.
Although he can hide his human aura now, he couldn’t escape the divine senses detection of some powerful Demon Emperors. If he moved about randomly, he would very likely be discovered.
After hiding in the corner for half a day, Chen Chen finally encountered a fox spirit that was holding a food tray. It had a very weak cultivation level of only the Qi Refinement realm.
After taking a deep breath, Chen Chen instantly flashed to her side, and then entered the Little Carefree Immortal Palace. He then attached Little Carefree Immortal Palace on a certain accessory on her clothes.
The little fox spirit suspiciously looked around and continued to walk forward after realizing that there wasn’t anything abnormal.
Chen Chen breathed a sigh of relief and began to look around through the Little Carefree Immortal Palace.
He had to admit that the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan’s clan abode was very grand and splendid. The buildings were all made of some kind of white jade that was glossy and pure.
At first glance, he thought it was a fairyland.
Besides, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan also had a high aesthetic standard as some of the buildings are more aesthetic than that of the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan’s abode.
“Lord, here’s your supper.”
Soon, the little fox spirit walked into a luxurious room and put down the food tray.
Chen Chen silently observed that there was a horned Demon Emperor and a demoness dressed in skimpy clothes in the middle of this room.
The demoness was sprawled all over the Demon Emperor’s body in an extremely ambiguous posture.
When the little fox spirit saw this scene, her face turned red and she quietly retreated.
“Little fellow, do you want to stay and play with us?”
The enchanting demoness stared at the back of the little fox spirit and said with a coquettish smile.
The little fox spirit was frightened and hurriedly quickened her pace as if she was fleeing the room.
“Lord, should we get down to business before we eat?”
The demoness waved her hand to close the door before starting to get undressed.
The Demon Emperor gently tapped the table with a devilish gaze, after which, an array that blocked probing divine senses appeared in the room.
“Hah, sure, but I’m afraid it’d be morning by the time we’re done. The dishes would have gotten cold then.”
“That’s fine too. I’m already full anyway.”
The demoness was extremely eager, and she had already thrown herself at the Demon Emperor.
“How about I join you guys for a little fun?”
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind them, frightening them to the point of shivering as they sprung up immediately.
Bang! Bang!
With two muffled grunts and a divine sense of shock, the two demons blacked out and lost consciousness.
…
“Who are you?”
The horned Demon Emperor gradually regained consciousness and looked at Chen Chen with an uneasy gaze in the Little Carefree Immortal Palace.
Chen Chen grabbed a chair and sat in front of him. With a faint smile, he said, “The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is selecting the next successor to the clan master. What are you, the Demon Emperor of the Heavenly Flood Dragon clan, doing here?”
The Demon Emperor’s expression changed drastically after hearing his voice, but he didn’t dare to say a single word.
‘Only the members of the eight major demon clans are aware of this. Where did this yellow-skinned demon come from?’
Chen Chen removed his arm ruthlessly.
“I’m telling you, I don’t have a good impression of your clan. It’s fine if you don’t tell me, I’ll ask that demoness. Once she tells me, there is no need for you to stay here any longer.”
“Do you dare to kill me? Where are you from!?”
The Demon Emperor shouted angrily as he bore with the pain, and before he finished, his other arm flew to the side.
“What nonsense are you saying?”
“I… I’ll tell you.”
The Demon Emperor of the Heavenly Flood Dragon clan was terribly intimidated by Chen Chen’s terrifying look and the ruthlessness in his eyes. Hence, he immediately caved in.
Chen Chen leaned back in his chair, looking like he was all ready to listen.
“Here’s what happened…The clan leader of the Nine-Tailed Fox doesn’t like managing the clan affairs and would usually remain neutral in all matters.”
“More than a year ago, the Demon God bloodline was revived. Among the eight major demon clans, there are three that suppor the Demon God bloodline to establish the Demon Court and unify the demon clans.”
“Four of the eight opposed the Demon God bloodline. After all, the Demon God is just a legend among us, and the eight demon clans have ruled the demon race for tens of thousands of years. There’s no reason to casually obey the orders of a so-called Demon God bloodline carrier.”
“The remaining Nine-Tailed Fox clan chose to remain neutral. Seeing that the demon race is about to split internally, the Demon God bloodline made a bet with the four opposing demon clans. As long as he can break a certain border of the human race, the four major demon clans would have to obey his orders.”
“If he can’t do it, he would take out all the blood of the Demon God and give it to the eight demon clans for free. The four major demon clans who opposed immediately agreed, and in the end, the Demon God descendant really did it, and the demons invaded the human border to achieve victory.”
“However, in recent years, the Demon God has become more and more ambitious. Gradually, he developed the intention to integrate all the demons into the Demon Courts.”
“The four demon clans that opposed at the start were naturally unwilling, but at this moment, the two races are already at war. Once the demons lose control, the humans might counterattack.”
“So at this juncture, the stand of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox clan is very crucial. If five of the eight demon clans oppose the establishment of the Demon Courts, the plan of the Demon God descendant will not be implemented. However, different thoughts and ideas are belonging to the several successors of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. Some support the Demon Courts, some don’t. My clan sent me here to support the successor who opposes the management of the Demon Courts…”
After listening to such a long explanation, Chen Chen fell into deep thought.
It turned out that the demons were not united at all. Even with the establishment of the Demon Court and the Demon God Hall, they were still divided.
“Is the Heavenly Flood Dragon clan also one of the four clans that oppose the Demon Courts?”
Chen Chen asked coldly.
“Yes…”
The Heavenly Flood Dragon clan Demon Emperor nodded and subconsciously broke out in cold sweat.
