AWB Chapter 226 Serpent Clan Chief
Chapter 226 Serpent Clan Chief
But now, with Princess Wood Spirit's sudden appearance, the situation seems to have subtly changed.
The image of the eerie blood-sucking vines beside Princess Wood Spirit involuntarily surfaced in the clan leader's mind; the similarity between the two was so striking that it was hard not to draw parallels.
However, the Ghost Blood Vine is an extremely ferocious creature; how could it be so easily tamed?
This is simply beyond imagination. You must understand, that ferocious creature needs to constantly drink fresh blood in order to grow stronger; it is extremely bloody and brutal.
Upon realizing this, the clan leader couldn't help but gasp, his heart filled with doubt and shock:
Who on earth possesses such extraordinary abilities that they dare to form a pact with such a terrifying and ferocious creature?
With this in mind, the snake clan chief rushed to Mount Wuwang without stopping.
That cave, bearing witness to the serpent clan's great humiliation, is now shrouded in even more mystery.
According to the snake demon who escaped, all those who participated in the encirclement were experts at the Nascent Soul Realm.
Strangely, when they later negotiated with other demon forces, the other side claimed that none of those people returned.
This filled the clan leader with doubt: Why didn't any of those Nascent Soul experts return?
The only reasonable guess is that they also met with misfortune in the cave.
Strangely, the treasures in the cave vanished without a trace.
This situation is truly unbelievable, and it seems that a third party must have been involved at the time.
As the clan leader stepped into the cave, he immediately detected a faint smell of blood in the air.
The stench of blood permeated the cold, dark cave, adding to its eerie atmosphere.
He then dispersed his divine sense to carefully sense the surrounding atmosphere.
Sure enough, the smell of blood grew stronger, as if telling the story of the fierce battle that had taken place here.
Just then, the clan leader sensed a demonic beast lurking deep within the cave.
But how could a single demonic beast, even one with formidable strength, possibly defeat all the Nascent Soul cultivators in one fell swoop?
The mystery surrounding this is growing ever more profound.
It was as if layers of mist were shrouding the clan leader's mind, waiting to be unraveled.
Thinking of this, the snake clan chief paused briefly before turning and heading to another secluded place.
This time, he was noticeably more cautious as he raised his hand to cast a spell.
A hazy light and shadow instantly enveloped his face, completely obscuring his true appearance.
Upon arriving at his destination, he did not act immediately, but waited quietly in place.
Before long, several demon figures appeared one after another.
However, they also used magic to conceal their faces, making it impossible for people to see their appearance.
These demons gathered together, seemingly waiting for someone.
They did not speak to each other; a quiet yet slightly tense atmosphere permeated the surroundings.
Just as everyone was eagerly anticipating what was to come, a mysterious phantom appeared silently like a ghost.
In an instant, the demons who had been standing still immediately became respectful and bowed in unison.
They said in unison, "Greetings, Your Excellency."
A faint, indistinct voice emanated from the illusory figure:
"Black Serpent, what is the purpose of summoning us all here in such great detail?"
Although the voice wasn't loud, it seemed to carry a chill, and every demon present could clearly hear the dissatisfaction it contained.
The snake clan chief, known as the Black Serpent, quickly stepped forward and respectfully said:
"My lord, the reason I have summoned you all here in such haste is that I have an extremely urgent matter to report to you."
"What is it?" The voice of the phantom was still somewhat cold.
The black snake paused slightly, then solemnly said:
"My lord, the Wood Spirit Princess who recently appeared was accompanied by something that, in my opinion, is very likely the Ghost Blood Vine."
"Ghost Blood Vine?"
Upon hearing this name, the expressions of the demons present changed drastically, their faces filled with shock.
The Ghost Blood Vine, one of the four most ferocious creatures of the demon race, is renowned far and wide, its fame resounding throughout the legends of the demon race.
Who would have thought that the mysterious object that only existed in legends would actually appear in the world?
These demons were still reeling from the shock when they heard the black snake continue:
“There is an ancient book in the forbidden area of our clan, which records that ‘When the blood vine appears, the world will be in chaos.’”
"Sir, given the current situation, shouldn't we make preparations in advance?"
The other demons immediately fell silent, each pondering to themselves.
The world is in chaos? Doesn't that mean their opportunity has arrived?
But this Wood Spirit Princess is said to only have the cultivation level of Nascent Soul. Does she really have such abilities?
Upon hearing this, the illusory figure also fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he slowly spoke:
"Let's not rush things. I'll go and investigate Princess Muling's true strength before making a decision."
After he finished speaking, the mysterious phantom vanished instantly, as if it had never existed.
Seeing this, the remaining demons understood each other without lingering.
With a flash, they disappeared from their original spots, leaving behind only an empty silence.
At this moment, in the Blood Demon Society's council hall, Princess Chen Wan'er of the Wood Spirit sat in the main seat.
Thanks to the powerful deterrent effect previously displayed by the Ghost Blood Vine, the demons looked at Chen Wan'er with awe and respect.
They were extremely careful, afraid that the slightest mistake would displease the princess and end up like those offenders, turned into mummies.
“Your Highness,” a demon representative knelt respectfully on the ground, his voice tinged with caution.
"The entire demon race is now talking about your return and that of the Wood Spirit Clan."
"Does Your Highness have any further instructions? We will certainly go through fire and water, without hesitation, to handle all matters for Your Highness."
Looking down at the kneeling demons below, Chen Wan'er had a question lingering in her mind.
Why would the Blood Demons so quickly acknowledge her princess status? Would their headquarters also be willing to do so?
Now that he has forcefully occupied the Blood Demon Society, a key stronghold, would that Void Refinement leader really be willing to hand over the position?
Having pondered this, Chen Wan'er's expression remained unchanged; she simply asked in a casual tone:
"Why hasn't your boss come back yet after so long?"
Could it be that he encountered an accident while on a mission and died from his injuries?
Upon hearing the princess's question, one of the demon representatives hurriedly kowtowed and replied in trepidation:
"Your Highness, please rest assured, our leader will be safe and sound."
We, the members of the Blood Demon Society, always leave a jade token in the society whenever we go out on a mission.
This jade pendant is closely related to our lives; if a member encounters misfortune, the jade pendant will become dull and lose its luster.
The eldest son's jade pendant remains as bright and new as ever, so Your Highness need not worry about it.
The news is spreading like wildfire everywhere, but the Blood Demon Society headquarters remains unmoved.
They probably wanted to find out her identity before making any plans.
Since that's the case, she might as well give them a big gift.
