Three human rations

South Continent!

Golden-Winged Red Eagle Clan territory.

This was a land of countless mountains and valleys.

Birds filled the mountains, and beasts roamed in groups.

Above the sky, a few Golden-Winged Red Eagles occasionally flew by.

Zhong Qing stood atop the mountain peak, his gaze fixed on the vast mountains, occasionally taking a sip of strong liquor, his thoughts drifting.

Ye Ji and Fire Enchantress stood by Zhong Qing's side, practically inseparable.

The presence of the three of them clearly added much color to this area.

In the distance, a streak of light streaked across the sky, transforming into a figure.

He descended before Zhong Qing.

It was none other than Diao Deyi, the ancestor of the Golden-Winged Red Eagle Clan!

He bowed respectfully to Zhong Qing and said, “Master, there has been a great change in the North Continent. The Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan has conquered the entire demon race of the North Continent and has boasted that they will take down the entire West Continent and South Continent to become the supreme overlord of the demon race.”

“Now, the Great Saints of the West Continent and South Continent are taking the lead, gathering demons in the Myriad Demons Valley of the South Continent's Heavenly Harmony Land, preparing to form an alliance to resist the great enemy.”

“And the Golden-Winged Red Eagle Clan is among those being called upon.”

“Please instruct, Master, how should my Golden-Winged Red Eagle Clan act?”

Upon hearing this, Zhong Qing was somewhat surprised.

He had been preparing to find an opportunity to bring the entire demon race under his control.

He hadn't expected that the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan would have the same idea.

It wasn't in vain that he had nurtured them all this way.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly.

After pondering for a moment, he slowly took a sip of wine and said indifferently, “The Myriad Demons Valley summoning all demons is a rare grand event. I will go with you!”

“Ah!”

Diao Deyi exclaimed in surprise, dumbfounded, “Master, the demon race is not friendly to the human race, and you are also a Domain Master. If they recognize your origin, it might be difficult to end well then. Is it inappropriate for you to go with me like this?”

“You should know that this gathering of demons will be filled with strong cultivators. According to the news I received, there are at least a hundred Saint Realm cultivators who will participate, and it is very likely that all six Great Saints from the West and South Continents will join.”

In his opinion, for Zhong Qing to participate in this demon gathering was no different from venturing into a dragon's den.

He had tied his entire future to Zhong Qing, so naturally, he didn't want him to suffer any harm or encounter any accidents.

Although he knew that Zhong Qing was not comparable to the previous Domain Masters.

However, Zhong Qing waved his hand, “I know!”

“Go prepare.”

This posture made Diao Deyi somewhat uncertain for a moment.

He knew his Master was extraordinary; there was even a Qilin following him.

But that Qilin was only at the Venerable Realm and had not yet grown enough to stand on its own.

Then, why was his Master so fearless?

Could it be that his Master's strength was far more profound than he imagined, and he was confident he could retreat safely even against hundreds of Saint Realm cultivators and six Great Saints?

If so, how strong was his Master's strength?

Diao Deyi's heart trembled.

Zhong Qing, who was originally unfathomable in his heart, was once again shrouded in a veil of mystery.

At Zhong Qing's signal, in the afternoon of that day, everyone departed from the Golden-Winged Red Eagle Clan territory.

Above the sky, figures occasionally streaked by, carrying terrifying auras, their strength at least at the Saint Realm level.

These were all demons invited to join the Myriad Demons Valley alliance.

The strength displayed by the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan was too terrifying.

In just a few days, they had subdued many demon races in the North Continent.

At this level of dispute, only forces above the Saint Realm were qualified to be invited; forces below the Saint Realm didn't even have the right to participate.

Zhong Qing and the others had not yet left the Great Wilderness when they saw more than ten groups of people.

Just as everyone had left the Great Wilderness and passed by a vast sea.

“Rumble…”

The sea churned with rolling waves, and along with the rising waves, there was also a great demon three thousand zhang long.

Its entire body was golden, floating above the sea like a mountain.

Its entire body seemed to be burning with flames.

This was a Golden Scales!

However, unlike ordinary Golden Scales, there were clear signs of it transforming into a True Dragon.

Its entire body of scales resembled True Dragon scales, and it even had two True Dragon horns on its forehead, two wisps of True Dragon whiskers on its lower jaw, and a faint True Dragon might mixed within the formidable ferocity it exuded.

“Diao Deyi, they say that if you live long enough, you'll meet again. I finally caught up with you, you bastard!”

Golden Scales spoke, his gaze fixed on Diao Deyi, his voice like a great bell, tinged with displeasure.

In this land, thousands of demon races lived.

Between demons, there were also struggles and killings.

The intensity of these conflicts was even ten times more severe than the internal strife among humans.

And the Golden Scales Clan and the Golden-Winged Red Eagle Clan were natural sworn enemies.

The Golden-Winged Red Eagle Clan had an extraordinary origin, possessing some ancient Golden-Winged Great Peng bloodline. Their diet was quite varied.

However, creatures with a partial True Dragon bloodline were the Golden-Winged Red Eagle Clan's favorite, bar none.

Therefore, the Golden Scales Clan, for a long time in the past, was the Golden-Winged Red Eagle Clan's most beloved food source, without equal.

Golden Scales' sudden appearance made Diao Deyi's expression greatly puzzled: “Who gave you the courage to appear before me like this?”

Golden Scales' eyes flashed with killing intent.

“They say that after a long absence, one should be seen with new eyes.”

“Do you think I am still the me from back then?”

As Golden Scales spoke, his body released a terrifying aura unique to the Saint Realm Eighth Heaven.

In an instant, the vast ocean waves churned, the clouds in the sky agitated, endless strong winds raged, and even the void seemed unable to withstand this rolling pressure, becoming distorted.

This terrifying aura made Diao Deyi's heart tremble.

This Golden Scales' cultivation was previously on par with his, but in terms of combat power alone, he was inferior to him.

Now, after only a thousand years of not seeing each other, he had not expected that the other party had already broken through to the Saint Realm Eighth Heaven level.

Could it be that the other party had obtained some great fortuitous encounter?

If he hadn't been following Zhong Qing today, he might indeed have been in danger.

But with his Master by his side, he truly wasn't afraid of this so-called Golden Scales.

After all, although he didn't know what level his Master's cultivation strength was at, his Master had previously suppressed him, making him unable to move, by merely dispatching two Saint Realm puppets.

Those two Saint Realm puppets were both at the Saint Realm Ninth Heaven level.

Presumably, suppressing a Golden Scales at the Saint Realm Eighth Heaven would not be difficult at all.

Thinking of this, Diao Deyi looked at Golden Scales and said, “What do you intend to do?”

Golden Scales' eyes were deep: “Today, Myriad Demons Valley is summoning all demons to jointly resist the invasion of the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan from the North Continent.”

“You should also be going at the Myriad Demons Valley's call.”

“If I kill you today, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to remain uninvolved.”

“I will temporarily spare your dog life. After this demon race conflict concludes, I will come back to settle the final score with you.”

“However, the three humans beside you should be the rations you carry with you, right? You must leave these rations for me to consume.”

“Consider it interest that this venerable one takes from you!”

As he spoke, Golden Scales stared intently at Zhong Qing, Ye Ji, and even Fire Enchantress, his eyes showing a look of covetousness.

These words made Diao Deyi's expression turn strange.
