Chapter 151: The Demon Race Mobilizes!
“Greetings, Honored One.”
Sinful Dragon City, within the great hall.
A host of figures with terrifying auras cupped their hands in salute toward the man in black-gold robes on the platform, their manner reverent.
These people were all Demon Race Supremes, yet at this moment they were so respectful toward this one man.
From this, one could see that this person’s status among the Demon Race was absolutely transcendent!
“Everyone, please sit!”
The black-robed man waved his hand slightly.
Immediately, the demon powerhouses divided to either side and sat down respectfully.
Only after these powerhouses had taken their seats did the man in black robes slowly step forward.
His features were handsome, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, his five features sharply defined. Especially those eyes — they seemed to contain endless wisdom.
One look, and one could not help but sink into them.
His aura was unlike any other, exuding a domineering air of one who ruled all under heaven.
“Honored One, for what matter have you summoned us?”
A man in red robes spoke.
This person was precisely the patriarch of the Xuanji Clan, Xuanji Supreme.
“What matter? Naturally, a matter concerning the Human Race.”
“Hm? The Human Race?”
Hearing the other party mention the Human Race, a sharp light burst from the Xuanji Patriarch’s eyes.
“Honored One, could it be that you intend to start this year’s war between the two races?”
“But the young folk in each clan aren’t so numerous that there’s no room for them.”
A burly man spoke.
His frame was massive, and his body radiated a sky-soaring killing intent and the stench of blood.
He was precisely the Supreme of the Giant Lion Clan!
“No!”
The black-robed man shook his head.
“This year is different from the past. A senior of our race in the Upper Realm sent word yesterday.”
“The Human Race faction corresponding to the Prison Dragon Realm in the Upper Realm has lost control over the Prison Dragon Realm.”
“As of now, the Prison Dragon Realm is a masterless land in the Upper Realm!”
“Hisss!”
The moment the black-robed man’s words fell, the demon powerhouses below all drew a sharp breath.
“What!”
“A masterless land?”
“Doesn’t this mean our Demon Race can dominate this realm!”
After hearing the black-robed man’s words, Xuanji Supreme could not help but reveal a wild joy on his face.
Since ancient times, the Demon Race had been huddled in the Demon Domain alone.
Besides the Demon Domain being remote and difficult to reach from the Human Race’s Five Domains, the most important point was that this realm belonged to a Human Race faction in the Upper Realm.
Without that, the Human Race would have been wiped out long ago.
But now it was different. Since this realm no longer belonged to the Upper Realm’s Human Race faction…
Didn’t that mean they could slaughter unhindered!
“That’s right!”
“How many years has it been? It’s finally our Demon Race’s turn to hold our heads high!”
The demon Supremes were beside themselves with excitement.
But the black-robed man, after pondering for a moment, suddenly spoke.
“However…”
As he spoke, his gaze swept over everyone below.
“Matters in the Upper Realm change by the moment. No one can be certain. Moreover, this realm was originally the Middle Thousand World of the Upper Realm’s Nine Origin Palace.”
“So…”
“In this campaign against the Human Race, plunder should be the primary aim!”
The black-robed man spoke slowly.
“Plunder? Plunder what?”
“Can’t we just eat them as we please?”
“Plunder who?”
“Can’t you plunder them back and eat them slowly?”
“Isn’t that just too unsatisfying?”
The moment the black-robed man’s words landed, the demon powerhouses erupted.
Listening to the cacophony, the black-robed man grew somewhat impatient.
“If you think the Nine Origin Palace won’t one day retake this realm and come to settle accounts with you, then kill as you please!”
The black-robed man spoke indifferently, his tone full of disdain.
The demon Venerables immediately fell silent.
The name of the Nine Origin Palace was not one they had never heard, and they naturally knew how formidable it was.
So no matter how much resentment they harbored, they dared not reveal a trace of it.
“Enough. You know what you need to know. Go make your preparations.”
“Three years from now, I want to see our Demon Race’s young folk trample every domain of the Human Race!”
“We obey the Honored One’s command!”
The demon powerhouses responded one after another.
Though they were all Demon Race Supremes, every one of them still took him as their sovereign.
There was nothing to be done. Who told him to have connections in the Upper Realm?
As the only True Dragon in the entire Prison Dragon Realm, Ao Ye could be considered the common leader of the entire Demon Race.
Any major move against the Human Race inevitably came at Ao Ye’s command.
The reason was still that same phrase: he had connections in the Upper Realm.
The Prison Dragon Realm, as a Middle Thousand World of decent scale, how could it possibly have no faction in the Upper Realm?
Therefore, the skirmishes in the lower realm were carried out entirely according to the will of the Upper Realm.
If, taken together, they provoked some major Human Race power in the Upper Realm, the entire lower realm’s Demon Race would likely be annihilated!
Afterward, the Upper Realm’s Demon Race would at most send down some condemnation.
After all, who told the Prison Dragon Realm to be the Nine Origin Palace’s property?
But now it was different. For some unknown reason, the Nine Origin Palace had lost its grip on the Prison Dragon Realm.
This gave the lower realm’s Demon Race a perfect opportunity!
After taking their leave, the assembled demons made to depart.
But the Giant Lion Supreme at their head, after walking a few steps, seemed to recall something and stopped.
“Honored One!”
“There is one matter I have yet to report!”
“Speak.”
Ao Ye raised his eyes and looked toward the Giant Lion Supreme.
“It’s like this. Recently the clan reported that the Mandala Pig clan, for no apparent reason, keeps attacking other Demon Race clans.”
“Like they’ve gone pig-mad!”
The Giant Lion Supreme said.
“Oh?”
Ao Ye’s brow lifted slightly at this.
“The Mandala Pig clan?”
“Doesn’t that clan not even have a single fifth-rank demon beast?”
“What, have they really gone pig-mad?”
As for the Mandala Pig, Ao Ye naturally knew of them, but this clan had always been one of the lowest-profile races among the Demon Race.
What had happened recently? Could they have caught some demon plague?
Otherwise, why would they keep attacking other Demon Race clans without cause?
“This matter is suspicious. All clans, keep an eye on it. The Mandala Pig clan could not possibly attack others without reason!”
Ao Ye thought it over, then gave the order.
“As you command, Honored One!”
After hearing Ao Ye’s instructions, the Giant Lion Supreme respectfully cupped his fists.
Then he turned and left.
And as Ao Ye’s orders spread, a violent storm instantly swept across the entire Demon Domain!
For a time, countless Demon Race clans began mobilizing their armies.
Every tribe, following Ao Ye’s instructions, began making preparations in secret.
At the same time, in the Demon Domain, a fourth-rank Mandala Pig was roaring toward the sky.
Demonic power poured from its body in a constant surge, transforming into a terrifying mass of energy that rushed toward the heavens.
“Boom~”
Around it, an Iron-Armored Rhinoceros was also roaring skyward, waves of terrifying demonic power bursting from its body.
For a time, the air itself seemed about to ignite.
“Roar!”
The Iron-Armored Rhinoceros looked at the fourth-rank Mandala Pig before it. Amid its fury, it felt only shock.
Because it had clearly broken the other’s legs more than once, yet the other was still full of vigor.
This was simply too eerie!
This made it more and more afraid the longer they fought.
“Boom~”
“Boom~”
“Boom~”
“Boom~”
…
Boom after boom exploded in the void, the air churning and boiling without cease.
And the Mandala Pig only grew fiercer the more it fought…
