245: Two demon clans suffering from PTSD
"My Lord, are we really just going to let that human walk away like that?"
A deputy manager of the Demon Treasure Pavilion walked up to the Three-Eyed Old Man, his expression extremely grim.
Nurtured by the Hundred Demon Assembly, the Demons of the Demon Treasure Pavilion were naturally extremely repulsed by the Human Race. Upon discovering humans, they would basically strike and kill them without hesitation.
Now, letting Mu Zun leave just like that felt like eating a pile of filth to all the Demon cultivators of the Demon Treasure Pavilion.
"Do you think we are a match for him?"
The Three-Eyed Old Man looked coldly at the deputy manager.
"That purple gourd once sucked in even a Quasi-Emperor of the Hundred Demon Assembly, and that Quasi-Emperor hasn't come out to this day."
"I heard that Quasi-Emperor's soul lamp has already been extinguished."
The Three-Eyed Old Man's words stunned the deputy manager, whose face had been full of resentment.
A gourd that could even kill a Quasi-Emperor, and you actually put it up for auction?!
For a moment, the deputy manager's mind couldn't wrap around it.
The Three-Eyed Old Man seemed to guess what the deputy manager was thinking and gave a cold laugh.
"Why do you think our Hundred Demon Assembly would put this gourd up for auction? Because this gourd has its own consciousness, and even the Emperor Realm Experts of our assembly can't do anything about it."
"If we keep it in the Hundred Demon Assembly, it sucks in a Quasi-Emperor today—will it suck in a Great Emperor tomorrow?"
As soon as he said this, the deputy manager understood immediately.
It turned out the Hundred Demon Assembly had ended up with a hot potato, so they were in a hurry to sell it off and let it plague someone else.
"But now that the gourd is controlled by that human, doesn't that mean we have no way to deal with him?"
The deputy manager said unwillingly.
"That is not for us to worry about. Surely the big shots in the assembly already know that the gourd is controlled by a human. As for what countermeasures to take, they will certainly have a way."
The Three-Eyed Old Man turned around to announce the end of the Treasure Appraisal Convention.
After thinking for a bit, the deputy manager understood as well.
The gourd was indeed powerful, but that human was not.
Wouldn't it be enough for the Hundred Demon Assembly to dispatch experts to directly act against that human in secret?
The deputy manager speculated... The news of Mu Zun causing a scene at the Treasure Appraisal Convention and slaying the Bone Clan's Eldest Young Master, Gu Dan, and the Green Ghost Clan's Prodigy, Luo Mu, spread to all forces in the Land of Fiends and Evil in less than a day.
For a time, all Yao Race forces settled down, because they wanted to see how the Bone Clan and the Green Ghost Clan, who were at the center of this incident, would react.
And what the attitude of the Hundred Demon Assembly would be.
What those forces didn't know was that this news had already triggered the PTSD of the Hundred Demon Assembly and the Fox Demon Clan.
Fox Demon Clan, Fox Immortal Mountain.
In a peach blossom forest, four young girls wearing shoulder-baring gauze clothes gathered together.
They were the four Fox Kings of the Fox Demon Clan and the rulers of the Fox Demon Clan.
After hearing the report from the little fox Demon subordinates, the four Fox Kings had strange expressions on their faces.
"Sister, don't you think this matter seems a bit familiar..."
Fox King Qing Li said, covering her face with a folding fan.
"Mhm..."
Fox King Bai Li didn't know what to say; she also felt it was familiar.
Back then, the five of them practiced under the Fox Immortal. After the Fox Immortal left the Myriad Universes, the five Fox Kings took control of the Fox Demon Clan.
However, over a decade ago, the youngest of the five Fox Kings, the Jade-Faced Fox King, participated in the Great Demon Assembly.
At the assembly, she had a conflict with a human woman and was ultimately given a harsh slap by that human woman.
At that time, the naturally arrogant Fifth Sister couldn't stomach it. She immediately teamed up with the Hundred Demon Assembly to surround and kill the human girl, even having an old Senior of the Fox Clan take action.
The final result was that the human woman turned out to be the Young Miss of the Qin Imperial Clan, Mu Zuns Mother.
Emperor Jun Qin, known as one of the strongest Great Emperors in the Myriad Universes, even descended upon the Land of Fiends and Evil.
That incident caused the Fox Demon Clan's Origin Qi to be severely damaged. Not only did they lose a Great Emperor, but they also paid out a lot of resources.
Even now, their own Fifth Sister was still being held in solitary confinement within the Forbidden Ground.
"Should we still take action in this matter?"
Fox King Zi Xia asked.
They were also somewhat afraid, afraid that this human would be just like Mu Zuns Mother, having a massive background.
By then, they would have just sent away a Qin Imperial Clan only to have a Chu Imperial Clan arrive.
Their Fox Demon Clan could not afford to lose another Great Emperor.
"We can send out a few Fox Clan Prodigies to test the situation."
As the eldest sister, Fox King Bai Li made the decision after some consideration.
As a top-tier force in the Land of Fiends and Evil, their Fox Demon Clan certainly had to take action regarding such an event.
Furthermore, their relationship with the Hundred Demon Assembly had been quite good since that incident occurred.
They had received quite a few benefits from the Hundred Demon Assembly.
"If that human is truly just an ordinary Prodigy of the Confucian Sect, then just kill him."
Killing intent flashed in Fox King Bai Li's eyes.
Although she was afraid of provoking another human Prodigy with a grand background, her resentment toward Mu Zuns Mother had also transferred to other human Prodigies.
Especially those Confucian Sect Prodigies who came to the Land of Fiends and Evil for experience.
Every single one of them was human scum; they would take the bait with just a little bit of Charm Techniques.
They were simply too easy to kill.
"Fine."
The other three Fox Kings also chose to follow the eldest sister's arrangement.
"Let Fox Charmer go. It'll be good experience for her."
Fox King Bai Li immediately sent one of her Disciples to... The Great Discussion Hall of the Hundred Demon Assembly.
Before a circular table, ten Emperor Realm Great Demons were currently seated.
They respectively represented the top ten Yao Races of the Hundred Demon Assembly.
"Wende Academy starts its training, and then this sort of thing happens."
"Is it a coincidence? Are the Disciples of Wende Academy so capable? To dare to cause a scene in my Demon Treasure Pavilion alone?"
Several Great Demons felt that things were a bit too coincidental.
"Oh? You think the Confucian Sect Disciples of Wende Academy don't have the ability to do it? I've heard that the Young Master of the Qin Clan has also joined Wende Academy."
"What if it's him?"
A Great Demon with flowing hair looked at the other Great Demons with a mocking expression.
As soon as these words were spoken, the meeting fell silent instantly.
The Qin Imperial Clan.
These four words were undoubtedly a scar for the Hundred Demon Assembly.
In particular, the Young Master of the Qin Clan was currently summoning the wind and rain in the Myriad Universes, which made the Hundred Demon Assembly feel that revenge was hopeless, believing that the Qin Imperial Clan would only grow stronger and stronger.
"That's impossible, right? How could it be such a coincidence?"
One Great Demon didn't quite believe it, feeling that the rumors of the Young Master of the Qin Clan joining Wende Academy hadn't been around for long.
Even if he joined, why would he immediately come to their Land of Fiends and Evil? Do they really think their Land of Fiends and Evil is some kind of treasure land? The mother came, and now the son comes too? What kind of joke is this?
