"Who, come out!"
Sikong Yu raised her eyes toward the direction of the sound, and Ouyang Qiuhai and the others tensed up, reaching for their weapons, vigilantly looking around.
"Heh heh."
Outside the cave, a sudden strong wind swept in, carrying volcanic ash into the entrance, forcing everyone to raise their arms to shield themselves.
The wind came fiercely and went quickly.
Sikong Yu looked toward the direction of the cave entrance: "Demon Clan."
Everyone else also looked toward the Demon Clan. For many present, the Demon Clan always existed in their consciousness, but few had actually encountered a real Demon Clan member.
More often, the Ten Demon Hall, as the Demon Clan’s lackeys, would frequent Ancestor Dragon City, whereas pure Demon Clan members rarely appeared there.
Ouyang Qiuhai glanced at the Demon Clan member; he resembled a human, wearing a fur coat. If not for some of the Demon Clan traits on his body, he would almost look entirely human.
Moreover, the Demon Clan member exuded a bit of a wild aura, a frivolous evil smile hung at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes emitted a unique, bewitching color.
"Is this the Demon Clan?"
Ouyang Qiuhai also scrutinized him. To them, the Demon Clan had always existed in books. Since the great war over two hundred years ago, the Demon Clan suffered heavy losses, their efforts thwarted at the last moment.
Over these two hundred years, the Demon Clan retreated to their ten ancestral lands, seen as ten perilous forbidden zones by Ancestor Dragon City. Even the Ten Demon Hall rarely entered these sealed lands, let alone Ancestor Dragon City, whose power had greatly contracted, defending the Four-direction Pass.
Thus, the current situation of the Demon Clan was relatively unknown to Ancestor Dragon City, whereas Ancestor Dragon City’s intelligence was more transparent.
"Heh, you’re quite bold, showing up alone. Given those animal ears on your head, are you a Wolf Demon or a Fox Demon...?"
The Demon Clan man chuckled coldly, not rushing, instead letting his gaze sweep over Sikong Yu and Ouyang Qiuhai.
After all, though Ancestor Dragon City’s and Demon Alliance’s confrontation had ended over two hundred years ago, Ancestor Dragon City was unaware of the Demon Clan’s present situation; likewise, the Demon Clan’s lower tiers had little interaction with the outside world.
"Heh, to deal with you riffraff, I’m more than enough."
"Oh, by the way, remember my name—Cangshan of the Chaotic Blade Mountain’s Swift Wind clan."
With a smile, Cangshan revealed his name, and with that, he didn’t linger, launching himself forward like an arrow.
"Chaotic Blade Wind Claw."
Cangshan lifted a hand, his fingers tearing through the air, his demonic power stirring the airflow to form several wind blades that struck forward.
Sikong Yu sneered coldly, her long spear instantly igniting with Vermilion Bird Fire, sweeping across at the incoming wind blades.
In an instant, the wind blades were shattered by the spear, the airflow transforming into a strong wind that swept past Sikong Yu’s hair. Her gaze locked onto Cangshan, and with a move, she thrust her spear like a dragon emerging from the sea, charging at Cangshan’s chest.
Seeing the spear about to pierce Cangshan’s chest, his whole body turned into a gust of wind, causing the thrust to miss.
Sikong Yu sensed trouble, poised to recover her stance and withdraw her spear, but before she could complete the movement, a hand pressed down on hers, and suddenly Cangshan’s figure reappeared before her.
Demon Skill·Wind Transformation.
Sikong Yu felt a shiver watching Cangshan at such close proximity, immediately activating her Vermilion Bird Bloodline, the Vermilion Bird Fire erupting from her body to create a fire ring radiating outward.
Cangshan tapped his toes, flying back as if pushed by the fire ring, gracefully like a leaf, and the Vermilion Bird Fire couldn’t attack his body directly.
Sikong Yu withdrew her spear, raising her eyes toward Cangshan standing seven or eight meters away.
"Heh, Vermilion Bird Fire. You’re from Sikong family of Ancestor Dragon City. As far as I know, most of the new generation in the Sikong family are wastes, except for one girl, who stands out, ranking in the top ten of Ancestor Dragon City’s Fengyun List."
"If I’m not mistaken, miss, you must be that young lady."
Sikong Yu rested her spear behind her, its tip against the ground, her icy eyes fixed on Cangshan: "Chaotic Blade Mountain is the territory of the Wolf Demon tribe, you have a surname and a name, it seems you’re not a mediocre figure in the Demon Clan."
The Demon Alliance consists of ten ancestral lands, each led by a Demon Ancestor, although the ten Demon Clan members have distinctions.
The ten Demon Ancestors are known as the Four Emperors and Six Respects.
The four Demon Emperors have great prestige among the myriad of demons, recruiting various Demon Clan members beyond their own tribes, gathering countless Demon Clan tribes under their banner, forming nation-like entities akin to humans, claiming and ruling territories, establishing themselves as emperors.
The Northern Demon Emperor occupies the extreme north, nicknamed Mysterious Ice Demon Ancestor, who built a city of ice and snow upon an ice field, said to be made of ten-thousand-year-old ice, indestructible.
Centered around this Mysterious Ice City, the Mysterious Ice Demon Ancestor declared himself Ice Emperor, ruling a three-thousand-mile world of ice and snow in the north. His subordinates mostly hail from ice and snow demon tribes, although his power ranks last among the four Demon Emperors, his personal strength is immense.
The Eastern Demon Emperor’s domain is the Great Sun Yan Country, ruled by a Three-legged Golden Crow. Legend has it the Three-legged Golden Crow has nine offspring, and the one flying eastward to west in the sky is actually the Crown Prince of the Great Sun Yan Country.
The Great Sun Yan Country’s territory borders Azure Dragon Forest, though no one has entered it, as it’s said to exist in the skies.
In wars with Ancestor Dragon City throughout history, the Great Sun Yan Country frequently dispatched few troops, yet their strength was formidable.
The Western Demon Emperor occupied the western desert, ruled by Emperor Jun, known as Drought Demon, capable of ending droughts, thus a vast desert exists in the west, where the Western Demon Country was built upon the dunes, and the capital of the demon country is underground.
