Free Web NovelChapter 1865: Chapter 1864: Demon Clan_2
This city is named Sahu City. Under the command of the drought demon, there are many desert tribes serving it, including the demon clans skilled in forging. Coupled with the abundant mineral resources in the west, this has ensured that the demon army under the drought demon is equipped with the finest weapons and is highly aggressive.
Speaking of the Southern Demon Country, it borders the Molten Lava Land, but unlike the Molten Lava Land which is full of volcanoes and extremely fiery, the Southern Demon Country is rich with mountains and waters, boasting ten thousand mountains and ten thousand demon clans.
The Southern Demon Emperor is Jiuying, who has nine snake heads, also known as the Snake Emperor. The Southern Demon Country uses mountains and rivers as fortresses. It’s said there’s a water city named Sky Mirror City with mountains as walls and a lake at its heart.
This city serves as the core, with numerous tribes occupying the surrounding mountains. The Southern Demon Country has the most extensive number of demon clans, and the highest population.
The combined numbers of the other three demon countries still do not match the Southern Demon Country. However, due to the numerous races and demons, it also leads to more internal conflicts in the Southern Demon Flame Country, making it less unified compared to the other three demon countries.
Despite having the most soldiers among the four great demon countries, when it comes to overall strength, the Southern Demon Country is not as strong as the demon countries of the other three Demon Emperors.
Aside from these Four Emperors, there are also Six Respects, whose strength is extraordinary, parallel to the Four Emperors and Demon Ancestors, but their ambitions don’t match the magnitude of the Four Emperors. They occupy one area, focus solely on their clans, and do not accept other demon clans.
They are more like the Four Holy Beasts, dominating one region and becoming its overlord.
The Six Respects are respectively: Jade Venerate Yu Linglong of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, Earth Cave Taotie Ancestor Tun Tian, Wan Hai the Clan Leader of the Marsh Rhino Tribe, Chi Yan the Clan Leader of the Mountain Golden Kirin Tribe, High Priest Tianxin of the Heavenly Tree Feather Clan, and Ming Hua the Clan Leader of the Yiling Ghost Tribe.
These places of the Six Respects are scattered across the Kunlun World, and each is a forbidden place. The sites of the Six Respects primarily focus on their clans. Having endured countless ages, they possess a far more ancient history than the Ancestor Dragon City of humans.
If not for the discord within the demon clans in the past, the humans wouldn’t have risen up to occupy Ancestor Dragon City.
Much of history continues to extend into the present, much like the Qingqiu Fox Clan which now holds a significant position, but in reality, they are but one branch. In the past, the fox clans had four major surnames; Qingqiu was merely one lineage.
Besides Qingqiu, there were Tushan, You Su, and Chunhu, yet today, when speaking of fox clans, it generally refers to the Qingqiu Fox Clan.
The history of demon clans is too ancient, to not dwell on it much. This current scenario is namely the Four Emperors and Six Respects confronting the humans of Ancestor Dragon City, hence forming an alliance, the Demon Alliance, to advance and retreat together.
Cangshan associated with Chaotic Blade Mountain is one of the major tribes under the command of the Southern Demon Ancestor Jiuying, this tribe occupies the area around Chaotic Blade Mountain, forming its core around six aristocratic surnames of the Demon Wolf Clan.
Within the demon clans, surnames and names are not privileges possessed by everyone. Only the royal and noble families of a clan have the qualification to use a clan name as a prefix.
This Cangshan possesses a surname and a name, clearly not ordinary demon wolves. Moreover, its fur craftsmanship is exceptional, unlike those coarse fur clothes directly peeled and draped over bodies.
Don’t underestimate the demon clans, upon hearing demon clans, one might imagine primitive tribes that drink blood and eat raw meat. The cities built by the four Demon Ancestors are not as grand as Ancestor Dragon City, which accommodates millions, but they too are megacities with millions inhabiting them.
However, these demon countries are not open to humans from Ancestor Dragon City, thus humans can hardly set foot in the cities of demon countries, leading to very limited understanding, if not complete ignorance.
"Heh, there’s no need for such compliments; surrender your weapons. You are the Miss of the Sikong family. If you put down your weapons, although I’m a demon clan, I understand etiquette and won’t harm you upon returning to the tribe with me."
"Our demon clans aren’t just beasts that drink blood and eat raw meat, and I have a good impression of you. If you agree to marry me, perhaps you can preserve the Sikong family in the future."
"Dream on."
"Watch the spear."
As Sikong Yu finished speaking, she instantly stepped forward, her spear slashing across and releasing a line of sparks, reaching the front of Cangshan. With a single hand, she wielded the spear, and the gun qi surged forward like a dragon, charging towards Cangshan.
Cangshan kept his hands behind his back, springing back like a kite with its strings cut, deftly dodging. Despite the spear tips showering down like rain and fiery waves surging forward, he remained unperturbed and calmly evaded.
"The Vermilion Bird Bloodline explosion is indeed strong, and the Vermilion Bird’s fire sticks without extinguishing, but you can’t even get close to me. How can you hurt me?"
Cangshan spoke disdainfully.
Compared to Ancestor Dragon City, which cannot access the four demon countries and even the territories of the Six Respects, the demon clans’ infiltration and understanding of Ancestor Dragon City are comprehensive. After all, the demon clans once recruited many humans to form the Ten Demon Hall as their lackeys.
The members of the Ten Demon Hall are all humans, though they possess demon clan bloodlines. Unless they have exceptionally powerful bloodlines coupled with sufficient strength, as long as they don’t activate them, these individuals typically appear no different from ordinary humans.
Considering Ancestor Dragon City is a large city with millions of residents, it can’t be entirely sealed off. Members of the Ten Demon Hall can easily infiltrate the city using certain methods to gather intelligence and information they seek.
Ancestor Dragon City enforces a strict Ninth Ring system, primarily to prevent extensive infiltration by the Ten Demon Hall, particularly into the core areas.
Infiltration of the Lower Three Rings is of no real concern to Ancestor Dragon City, as the Lower Three Rings are merely populated by civilians, who are not considered important, nor do they house any places of great significance.
The true core is reserved for the upper strata, including the Ten Royal Families and Ten Sects, which exist above the Five Rings, with some even above the Third Ring.
Though total penetration is impossible, basic intelligence is readily available.
For instance, the Vermilion Bird family, the Sikong family has enjoyed glory for hundreds of years, and information about them is everywhere. The bloodline talent of the Sikong family is no secret.
Upon learning that the opponent was the Miss of the Sikong family, how could Cangshan remain unguarded, especially given that his Wind Body counters the opponent’s Vermilion Bird Fire. As long as the opponent’s fire doesn’t touch him, he’s practically unharmed.
"How can this be, is the demon clan really that strong?"
Ran Yue watched in disbelief as Cangshan emerged unscathed despite Sikong Yu’s overwhelming attack akin to moving mountains and inverting seas.
Sikong Yu, among these people, had the highest strength second to Li Feng, possessing Golden Core Middle Stage strength and the Vermilion Bird Bloodline. Her martial prowess wasn’t weak, yet against the opponent, she accomplished nothing. Observing the opponent’s relaxed demeanor, it was clear he wasn’t using his full strength.
The difference, how can it be this vast.
"Things will turn dire this way. Also, didn’t Miss Sikong say earlier that the demon clans have all descended into the depths, and hasn’t Bi Fang just passed through? How can there be demon clans appearing?"
"Bi Fang couldn’t possibly be in league with the demon clans, could he?"
Lei Ba said, furrowing his brows.
Ouyang Qiuhai took a deep breath and said, "The knowledge I have about the demon clans mostly comes from books. The opponent earlier mentioned being from the Quickwind Clan of Chaotic Blade Mountain. If he wasn’t lying, then the opponent should be from the Demon Wolf Tribe, one of the Eight Tribes under the Southern Emperor Demon Ancestor."
"The Demon Wolf Tribe is conferred around Chaotic Blade Mountain, divided into six clans, one of which includes the Quickwind Clan. The Quickwind Clan is known as the Wind Child, for their mastery over the Wind Dao, achieving an incredibly high level of control over the wind."
"The opponent’s move seems to be their clan’s innate ability, the Wind Body. A swirling airflow forms around his body, nullifying any incoming attacks, even preventing the Vermilion Bird Fire from penetrating and reaching the opponent’s body."
"Hiss, isn’t that an unsolvable problem then?"
"It’s only solvable if one can break through the opponent’s Wind Body. But evidently, Yu is countered by the opponent, and the opponent’s strength is comparable to Yu’s. Unless she can trap the opponent and deliver a swift and powerful blow, otherwise with this evasive power control, Yu’s attacks can’t break the opponent’s defense."
