262: The threat of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan! Cai'er's crisis!

In the deep abyss, within the Nether Serpent Earth Vein.

Currently, a tense atmosphere pervades the headquarters of the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan.

Countless snake-people gazed with cold glints in their eyes towards the sky outside the Earth Vein.

In that sky, figures were numerous.

Giant wings, like dark clouds, enveloped this world.

"Clan Chief, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is truly going too far, actually attacking us!"

"If our clan does not respond at all, we will surely become a laughingstock in the future!"

"By then, in this vast Beast Region, what other clans would dare to align themselves with our Nine Serene Earth Python Clan?"

On a majestic mountain Peak of the Nether Serpent Earth Vein, more than a dozen figures stood.

Several Elders, their Faces icy, spoke in a deep voice to the sturdy figure in front of them.

"Several Elders, this matter is not simple. This time, Huang Tian, the Clan Chief of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, personally leads the attack. That old fellow is a Late Stage Five-Star Dou Sheng. In our Nine Serene Earth Python Clan, who can match him?"

Just as most of the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan Elders were agreeing, a gray-robed Elder with a somewhat rigid expression frowned and said.

"Coward! Are we just going to watch the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan defecate on our Nine Serene Earth Python Clan and not dare to speak up?"

"We would rather die defending the clan's dignity than be a cowering turtle!"

"If you are afraid of death, you can leave now. But after this, do not claim to be a member of our Nine Serene Earth Python Clan..."

As this Elder finished speaking, he was met with mockery and sarcasm from several other Elders.

"You... you all!"

Mocked by his own clan, the Elder's Face immediately turned extremely ugly.

"Don't you know that the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's attack this time is solely aimed at the woman Cultivating in the Nine Serene Yellow Springs!"

"Furthermore, behind this matter, there are transcendent forces like the Hun Clan pushing it along!"

"As long as we hand over that woman..."

This Elder seemed very unconvinced.

He was earnestly analyzing the specific situation.

However, he was cut short by a cold snort before he could finish his last sentence.

"The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan tells us to hand someone over, and we just hand them over? Where is the Face of my Nine Serene Earth Python Clan? What's more, the one in seclusion in the Nine Serene Yellow Springs is Young Master Gu Fei's woman!"

"What is Young Master Gu Fei's identity? I don't need to say it; I believe you all should be very clear!"

The sturdy figure turned around, his Face filled with an aura of unapproachable majesty.

This person was none other than Yao Ming, the current Clan Chief of the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan!

"Young Master Gu Fei's renown is known throughout the world... but isn't it rumored that Young Master Gu Fei has already perished in the Demon Flame Space?"

"Moreover, today is the last day set by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. If we don't hand her over, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan will attack!"

Upon hearing this, two Elders who were still fantasizing about making peace with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan spoke in hushed tones.

Hearing these words, everyone's heart sank slightly.

After all, Huang Tian, the Clan Chief of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, possessed the terrifying strength of a Late Stage Five-Star Dou Sheng, which even Yao Ming could not stop.

And the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's actions this time also seemed to involve people from the Hall of Souls secretly.

Yao Ming also fell silent for a moment under this immense pressure. After a short while, he asked in a deep voice, "Elder Qi, did you send the letter I asked you to send to the Ancient Race?"

"Reporting to Clan Chief, it has been sent."

Upon hearing this, Elder Qi nodded, then hesitated, "However, will the Ancient Race really send people?"

"Yes, although Young Master Gu Fei is the Young Clan Leader of the Ancient Race, he is, after all, already..."

"His woman, to the Ancient Race, can only be considered an outsider!"

"Furthermore, Ancient Races like them have clan restrictions, and powerhouses above Four-Star Dou Sheng cannot easily make a move!"

The two Elders advocating for peace worried.

What they said also made some sense.

Normally, anyone connected to the Ancient Race would command respect throughout the world.

As long as a person from the Ancient Race appeared, regardless of their cultivation level, the other party would not dare to act recklessly.

However, this time, due to hatred, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan was determined to trouble Young Master Gu Fei's woman.

And with the Hall of Souls, and even the Hun Clan behind the Hall of Souls, as their backing, even if people from the Ancient Race arrived, they might not be able to resolve the trouble.

"Now, we can only wait... Moreover, the rumor that Young Master Gu Fei died is just a rumor. The news I received is that a Demon Saint phantom appeared on Young Master Gu Fei... perhaps it is a great Opportunity for him!"

"If he can refine the legendary Purification Lotus Demon Flame, Young Master Gu Fei will soar, and in the future, he will surely become a figure standing at the Peak of the continent!"

Yao Ming pondered for a moment but still did not back down. This was a promise he had made to Young Master Gu Fei back then.

He was a grateful person; if it weren't for Young Master Gu Fei's rescue, he might still be suffering at the bottom of the dark Yellow Springs.

Moreover, he was also gambling.

Gambling that Young Master Gu Fei was not dead.

And this time, if people from the Ancient Race could come, even if they couldn't defeat Huang Tian, it could at least alleviate the pressure on the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan.

"Yao Ming... The three-day deadline has arrived!"

"Have you made a decision whether to hand over that person or go to war with my clan?"

Just then, a calm voice containing powerful pressure, like thunder, resounded from the sky, reaching the ears of every member of the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan.

Hearing this voice, the Faces of the Elders on the mountain Peak all turned grim.

Yao Ming's eyes were gloomy. He moved, soaring into the sky, and his gaze turned towards the outside of the mountain range.

In the sky there, a gigantic Heavenly Demon Phoenix flapped its enormous wings, hundreds of feet wide.

On the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's head, a figure dressed in a purple-gold robe stood with his hands behind his back.

A pair of golden and immensely majestic eyes also turned towards him.

"Clan Chief Huang Tian, the person Cultivating in the Nine Serene Yellow Springs is the Young Clan Leader of the Ancient Race's woman. If you harm her, the Ancient Race will not let the matter rest."

Looking at that person, Yao Ming said in a deep voice.

"Hehe, what a 'will not let the matter rest'..."

Upon hearing this, a faint hint of mockery flashed in the eyes of the man in the purple-gold robe: "Young Master Gu Fei killed my son. This hatred is irreconcilable. Do you think this King still cares about whether they let the matter rest?"

"It seems this fellow is determined to capture Miss Caier to avenge his foolish son, Jiu Feng..." Yao Ming frowned upon hearing this.

"I will ask you one last time, are you handing her over or not?"

Huang Tian stared at Yao Ming with fierce eyes.

The pressure of his Five-Star Dou Sheng strength also emanated from him.

"I have said it before, this is my promise to Young Master Gu Fei. Unless I die!"

Yao Ming's answer remained resolute.

"Hehe, what's so good about keeping a dead man's promise!"

"That Young Master Gu Fei killed my son. This King will personally capture his woman this time and torture her to death to vent the hatred in my heart!"

Huang Tian's icy words were filled with hatred.
