78: Humiliation, agree to a duel!

Upon hearing that voice, Peng Wu Yan initially thought the other party was on his side.

Unexpectedly, Scarlet Firmament King immediately followed up with, "However, the Kun Peng Treasure Technique should not remain dormant. If the archaic ten fiends' Azure Luan Treasure Technique reappears, it shouldn't be difficult for the Demon Clan to regain its glory."

Clan Leader Peng of the Ancient Heavenly Devil Peng Clan smiled and said, "I support allowing Golden Peng Prince, the Young Master of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird Clan, to enter the Sky-Demon Peng ancestral land to search for the kun peng yang bone. The reappearance of the Kun Peng Treasure Technique would be a blessing for all of us Demon Clan."

Peng Wu Yan's expression was extremely grim.

The young man beside him, whose Face was slightly pale, had already clenched his fists. He only hated that he lacked the strength to protect the Heavenly Devil Peng Clan. At this moment, he could no longer hold back and, filled with righteous indignation, he shouted:

"All you Seniors are Saint Lords of the Demon Clan, Clan Leaders. I thought you were venerable elders, but I never expected you to be a bunch of despicable villains coveting my clan's inheritance!"

The young man's words offended many of the Demon Clan's powerful figures. At this moment, gazes like sharp knives fell upon him, subtly carrying the wrath and pressure of Saint Lord Realm Cultivators.

"Hmph!"

Kun Wuji snorted coldly.

Suddenly, from among the Kun Clan members behind him, a beautiful woman with a delicate Face and graceful figure stepped forward.

"What is your status? Do you have the right to speak here?"

The woman's cold gaze stared at the young man.

"I am Peng Xiao, the Young Master of the Ancient Heavenly Devil Peng! Who are you?" Peng Xiao retorted in a deep voice.

"Heh, what gives a Young Master of a clan on the verge of extinction such arrogance? Have you opened the Seven Cave Heavens?" The woman sneered, pressing him, "Which of the Clan Leaders here isn't your Senior? Such disrespect for elders, the Sky-Demon Peng Young Master certainly has good upbringing!"

Peng Xiao's Face turned alternately green and red from her retort, looking incredibly displeased.

"Kun Clan Leader, could this woman be your daughter, one of the two Young Masters of the Kun Clan? I heard she has also opened the Seven Cave Heavens, is that true?" Lie Peng Holy Person asked.

"Indeed, my humble daughter, Kun Tai Mei, just opened her seventh Cave Heaven a few days ago. She has a bit of talent, but compared to your esteemed Golden Peng Prince, she is far inferior," Kun Wuji said modestly.

"Heh heh, Kun Clan Leader is too modest. I see limitless potential in your esteemed daughter; she could reach the Saint Realm in the future."

Kun Tai Mei's words to Peng Xiao undoubtedly helped these Demon Clan big shots regain some Face, and Lie Peng Holy Person naturally wouldn't let Kun Wuji lose Face either.

"Things have come to this, Clan Leader Peng, you have no choice."

Lie Peng Holy Person sneered, "If our clan hadn't considered the unity within the Demon Clan, we would have long ago annihilated your clan completely!"

"Such a weak clan is simply a disgrace to the reputation of our great Peng Clan!"

"The Human Clan is powerful, and our Young Master must obtain the kun peng yang bone. If you don't agree, our Golden Peng Clan doesn't mind going to war with your clan!"

"Peng Saint also means this."

Upon hearing the name "Peng Saint," many of the powerful figures subconsciously glanced at the old Golden-Winged Great Peng who had remained silent since his arrival.

In the Western Demon Clan and Northern Region Demon Clan, this old Golden-Winged Great Peng was definitely a figure of immense seniority and terrifying strength!

Even many Demon Clan Leaders would respectfully address him as Senior, and it was rumored that he had already touched the threshold of entering the Half-Step Great Saint realm.

Peng Wu Yan glanced with trepidation at the old Golden-Winged Great Peng who was resting with his eyes closed. But as the Clan Leader of the Ancient Heavenly Devil Peng, he harbored a deep hatred for the Golden Winged Great Peng Clan. If not for their continuous suppression and assassination, the Sky-Demon Peng would not have declined to this extent, with only a dozen or so members remaining in the clan!

Peng Wu Yan gritted his teeth and looked towards Qingjiao Saintly Being of the Flood Dragon Clan, who had remained silent.

"Qingjiao Saintly Being, the North Nether Sea has always been led by the Flood Dragon Clan, and all decisions are judged impartially by the Flood Dragon Clan. At this Heaven and Earth Peach Banquet, these two clans intend to seize my clan's inheritance. I hope Qingjiao Saintly Being can uphold justice for my clan."

Peng Wu Yan clasped his fists and spoke.

However, seeing Qingjiao Saintly Being's indifferent expression, his heart sank.

"Actually, this King believes their proposal is not bad."

Qingjiao Saintly Being slowly spoke, his words like pebbles dropping into a calm lake, subtly exciting many Demon Clan members.

Although they had already received benefits from the Kun Clan and the Golden Winged Great Peng Clan beforehand, helping them take sides, if the Flood Dragon Clan remained neutral, then matters would still be difficult to handle.

"No—" Peng Wu Yan was about to say something when he was interrupted by Lie Peng Holy Person's reprimand: "Qingjiao Saintly Being hasn't finished speaking, why are you so anxious?"

Qingjiao Saintly Being said, "Your clan has declined. Even guarding the ancestral land is futile. Your clan has no disciples capable of drawing out and comprehending the kun peng yang bone to this day."

"I actually think that the Golden Peng Clan can pay a price to gain the opportunity to enter your clan's ancestral land. This would also be for the revival of our Demon Clan. After all, Golden Peng Prince, the Young Master of the Golden Peng Clan, is indeed an extremely powerful Tianjiao. If he enters, it is highly likely that the yang bone will appear, and even our clan's Young Master, compared to him, is probably only a fifty-fifty match."

Peng Wu Yan's Face darkened, and he clenched his fists.

"Why should that Golden Peng Prince enter my clan's ancestral land? I can also draw out the kun peng yang bone!" Peng Xiao, the Young Master of the Sky-Demon Peng, gritted his teeth and spoke.

Qingjiao Saintly Being's expression was indifferent; he did not get angry, but he also did not commit to anything.

"Clan Leader Peng, since your clan's Young Master is so confident, then let's wait for our clan's Golden Peng Prince to arrive."

"Once he arrives, he will fight your clan's Young Master."

"If he wins, he can enter your clan's ancestral land to comprehend. If he loses, we will drop the matter. How about that?"

"If you still don't agree to this, then our Golden Peng Clan will no longer speak of etiquette, for our Demon Clan values martial prowess."

"Everything is decided by the fist!"

Lie Peng Holy Person said with a sinister expression.

He knew that the Heavenly Devil Peng Clan would not easily yield, and even annihilating them might not achieve the desired outcome.

Thus, choosing a battle between the younger generation was the best method, provided that Clan Leader Peng agreed, and one purpose of this Heaven and Earth Peach Banquet was precisely this.

Peng Wu Yan's expression fluctuated, indecisive. He felt immensely indignant, yet also quite powerless.

As Clan Leader, he couldn't even protect their ancestral land...

However, at this moment, a mysterious and ancient voice entered his mind, causing his entire body to tremble.

"Agree to him."

Peng Wu Yan was startled at first, but listening to the subsequent words from that voice, he was utterly horrified, and a monstrous wave surged in his heart.

He quickly masked his change in expression and spoke in a deep voice:

"I agree to you."

"But, the one fighting for my clan will not be my son, and if Golden Peng Prince loses, no one shall covet my clan's kun peng yang bone ever again!"

Peng Wu Yan's sudden change of mind caused some of the powerful figures present to look puzzled.

Does the Ancient Heavenly Devil Peng Clan still have some Tianjiao? Even this Sky-Demon Peng Young Master probably hasn't even opened six Cave Heavens, and they wouldn't even pay him any mind.

Where could there be anyone else?

Lie Peng Holy Person laughed heartily, "Of course! You can invite external aid; our clan's Young Master fears no challenger! He is invincible!"

—

On Creation Island, the atmosphere had eased considerably.

The Heaven and Earth Peach Banquet had not yet officially begun. The Northern Region Demon Clan had not yet arrived, and this grand assembly had also invited the Human Clan Holy Land from the Northern Region, as well as the Zhuolu Jiang Clan.

Seizing the kun peng yang bone was a catalyst and an important part of the plan.

But the greater purpose of the Demon Clan was to use this grand event to declare the strong resurgence of the Demon Clan.
