Chapter 320 - Sowing Discord

n
n
n
n“Something happened. Mother, something bad has happened!”
n
nA thin monkey rolled into the cave and looked down at the ground, not daring to look up at the broodmother.
n
n“Who did it?”
n
n“Report, it seems that General Red Wave and General Gray Mountain have joined the human race.”
n
n“What? Where are the two of them?”
n
nAfter a while, Ox-head and Horse-face knelt in front of the broodmother and recounted everything that had happened.
n
n“Mother, what we said is true. Those two generals kept saying that you sent them out, so the two of us were bold enough to open the door. Otherwise, we wouldn’t dare to do such a thing even if we had a hundred thousand guts!”
n
n“Bastard!”
n
nThe broodmother’s silver-white body suddenly lit up with pure holy light. The light was very warm and was a little charming when it shone. However, as the broodmother’s mood surged, the light gradually became dazzling.
n
nAfter a bright white light, the two guards who were kneeling there had disappeared without a trace.
n
nThe broodmother swept her gaze below with a gloomy expression. All the high-level generals were gathered under her. Of course, those were the living ones.
n
nSpirit Child, Red Wave, and Gray Mountain were absent. When the others arrived, they were all silent like cicadas in winter.
n
n“Why did Red Wave and Gray Mountain make such a choice?”
n
nThe broodmother’s gaze landed on the white bear with pure white fur.
n
nThe white bear naturally noticed the attention. His body trembled as he carefully looked up at the broodmother and then at his brother beside him. However, no one spoke up for him.
n
nHe said shakily, “Mother, I’ve always been at odds with Gray Mountain. Mother should know our relationship very well. He’s usually a dull person and hangs out with that red-haired monkey. We’ve never liked him.”
n
nThe broodmother said in a very low voice, “I didn’t ask you this. I asked why they’re like this.”
n
n“Mother…” White Bear looked up at the broodmother and thought that he would suffer again if he could not give a definite answer. After thinking about it, he said reluctantly,” Perhaps there was a conflict between the few of them. As far as I know, Spirit Child and the two of them have always been at odds. Then is it possible that they have a grudge with Spirit Child? Is that why the two of them chose to join the human race? ”
n
nHearing the big white bear’s words, the other demon beasts nodded.
n
n“That’s right. The few of them have always disliked each other. Whenever they encounter each other, they will definitely argue.”
n
n“I knew it. I knew that Spirit Child and Monkey would cause some trouble. The two of them look like they have a deep hatred for each other. I didn’t expect them to actually go out and join the human race. It’s really unexpected.”
n
n“However, at this point, what should we do?”
n
nAlthough they were discussing animatedly, no one could say anything good. All of them were pushing each other away. No one wanted to take responsibility for this.
n
n“White Name, do you have any way to take down Sea City?”
n
nThe white bear’s heart skipped a beat. He had tried everything to push this matter out, but why did it have to be him?
n
n“Mother, we sent out tens of thousands of troops and all of them died in Sea City. In my opinion, the human race is much stronger than we imagined. At the very least, it’s much more advanced than the situation that the information brought back. Shouldn’t we consider it at length? Don’t tell me we should fight them head-on like this?”
n
n“Do you know that this is a heaven-sent opportunity? That black dragon actually relented and agreed to let us reproduce in the Demon Realm. This is a good opportunity. Are we going to stay in this bottomless cave for another few hundred years?”
n
n“I-I don’t mean that. I’m just saying that since Black Dragon can’t deal with those humans, they must have their own strengths. If we want to destroy them all in such a hurry, I’m afraid it’s not realistic. Otherwise, we can also negotiate with those humans. Wouldn’t that be…”
n
n“What kind of stupid move is that?”
n
nAs soon as White Bear finished speaking, someone immediately stood up.
n
n“That’s right. That black dragon has agreed to let us occupy this place, but the condition is for us to destroy these humans. If these humans are still alive, do you think that the black dragon will let us stay in the Demon Realm so peacefully? I think you’re too afraid!”
n
n“What’s there to say? Isn’t he always like this? It hasn’t been a day or two.”
n
nThere was a burst of laughter among the crowd. Although they did not want to take the responsibility, they were each more proactive than the other when mocking others.
n
nWhite Bear had an idea and suddenly pointed at the werewolf who was laughing the most at the side. “San Lang! I think you three brothers have many ideas all day long. If you three brothers personally hold the fort, it would be easy for me to take down Sea City. I’m weak alone. How can I fight against the experts like Red Wave, Gray Mountain and the human race? Mother, in my opinion, the three of them are the best candidates!”
n
nThe werewolf’s mouth was almost agape from smiling. When he realized that this matter had inexplicably been blamed on him, he immediately panicked.
n
n“Why are you so unreasonable?”
n
n“That’s right. Since Mother has already appointed you, why are you still making excuses? I think you’re very arrogant now! I heard that your soldiers have been very strong recently, and you’ve obtained a lot of benefits from outside. You’ve obtained so many benefits, but you don’t want to do anything for your own race. I think you’re really powerful!”
n
nAfter being sowed discord, White Bear realized that his brothers beside him were all glaring at him, as if everyone had been persuaded by the werewolf’s words.
n
n“I say…”
n
n“Enough!”
n
nAs soon as the broodmother’s voice came out, the people below immediately fell silent.
n
nThe broodmother looked at the four people below. “Since none of you want to go, fine. I’ll let you go together. The three of you, plus White Name, will take down Sea City in the shortest time possible. There’s still Ping City and Rong City behind. If we can’t even take down Sea City, I’m afraid we won’t be able to establish ourselves in the Demon Realm for the rest of our lives!”
n
nAlthough the few of them were unwilling, their mother had already made this order so precise. If they continued to refuse, it would probably be difficult to clean up the mess when their mother was angry.
n
n“All of you can leave. Everyone, remember this. Anyone who dares to betray us will die!” The broodmother reminded them in the end. “Remember this clearly. Bring Red Wave and Gray Mountain back alive. I want to execute them personally in front of my clansmen!”
n
n“Yessir!”
n
nSea City was filled with a lively atmosphere.
n
n“That’s really powerful. In my opinion, those demons are nothing in front of the Sword Immortal. The Sword Immortal is the greatest person in the world, the strongest mighty figure in the entire Demon Realm! Even the Black Dragon, no, the Black Dragon has already been chased away by the Sword Immortal. There will no longer be a Black Dragon in this world!”
n
nIn a very small shop, there were some simple Dharma artifacts and materials on the stall.
n
nHowever, no one paid attention to these things. They all gathered together and treated this as a place to chat. They all looked at the middle-aged man standing in the center who was talking enthusiastically.
n
n“Is that true? Is the Sword Immortal that powerful?”
n
nA young man who had gone into seclusion seemed to know nothing about what happened outside and actually asked such a question.
n
nEveryone looked at him disdainfully and in disbelief and said, “Brother, how can you not even know this? Do you know what kind of situation we were facing yesterday? The thousands of demons were smashing towards us like fireballs.”
n
n“If not for someone blocking the front, we would have been smashed to death by those fireballs. But at this moment, the Sword Immortal came out and fought against ten thousand alone! He forcefully killed all the tens of thousands of demons. Do you think he’s weak?”
n
nThis person’s words exaggerated the title of Sword Immortal. It was as if the Sword Immortal was already the strongest person in the world. There was no one more powerful than him.
n
nHowever, it was hard to say if that was the case.
n
nNaturally, many people had doubts about this.
n
nWhen the city was in danger yesterday, many people were still in seclusion, so they did not know what was going on outside. Many people were hiding with their clansmen. Therefore, when they heard the rumors about the Sword Immortal today, they were all very excited, but they were also puzzled.
n
nThey were excited that the human race had such a powerful mighty figure. It was naturally very good news for them as their safety would be guaranteed.
n
nThe question was, could there really be such a powerful person in this world? If there was really such a powerful person, wouldn’t he be an immortal? He could even be said to be more powerful than an immortal. How powerful was the person who could chase Black Dragon away?
n
n“Brother, we didn’t see it with our own eyes after all. That’s why we asked.”
n
nThose who were ignorant gathered together and formed a small group. Most of these people were younger. At the side was a very lazy team. They were soldiers who had just retreated from the front. The person standing on the stage and talking happily was the medical assistant among these soldiers. At this moment, he was like a god of war as he talked happily.
n
nListening to the commotion below, he stretched out two hands to appease these questions.
n
n“Everyone, stop arguing.”
n
nEveryone was very obedient and fell silent. Even the most cunning young people waited quietly for him to speak.
n
nHe cleared his throat and said very generously, “You didn’t see that scene on the city tower yesterday, so you naturally have some doubts in your hearts. I don’t blame you. However, if you say that this is fake, I won’t agree. The Sword Immortal does exist. Do you know how many times the Sword Immortal has saved the human race?
n
n“I heard that the Sword Immortal displayed his might in Rong City and saved it. Otherwise, Rong City would have been defeated by the demon army.
n
n“It’s not just Rong City. Even Ping City has been saved by the Sword Immortal several times. How rare is it for us to be able to live so peacefully here? All of this is thanks to the Sword Immortal.”
n
nAs he spoke, one of the veterans spoke more strictly and added, “Actually, I didn’t see the legendary sword energy appear yesterday. However, in the entire world, other than the Sword Immortal, who else in the human race can have such divine might? There’s no need to say anything else. Therefore, this matter was naturally done by the Sword Immortal. There’s no doubt about it.”
n
nWhat he said was reasonable and convincing.
n
nAfter a short period of integration, those young people immediately accepted the setting of a Sword Immortal and began to join the discussion.
n
n“I heard that the Sword Immortal is omnipotent. He can even travel beyond the Three Realms and discuss the Dao with that immortal.”
n
n“That’s only rumors. However, I’ve seen it with my own eyes. The Sword Immortal and the black dragon fought for three hundred rounds in the Wasteland, and they were evenly matched. These two are really heroes of the current era. Otherwise, the Black Dragon wouldn’t have been able to develop the demons so strong alone.”
n
n“Have you really seen the Sword Immortal fight the Black Dragon?”
n
n“Of course it’s true. Why would I lie to you about such a thing? I can’t lie. Moreover, the Sword Immortal keeps a very low profile. If not for his extraordinary strength, I would never have seen these two mighty figures of the current world display their skills.”
n
nThis person was bragging to his heart’s content, but he did not notice that there was a handsome young master passing by on this lively street. This person looked young, no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. However, his aura was very stable and had a hint of maturity.
n
nThis person was Li Yuanqing. Li Yuanqing’s complexion was much better than before. At this moment, he felt like he had entered another level and his aura was even more stable.
n
nLi Yuanqing could not help but listen when he heard someone talking about the Sword Immortal by the side of the road. However, as they spoke more and more mysteriously, even Li Yuanqing could not stand it anymore. These guys’ words were really ridiculous.
n
nWhen had he ever fought with that Black Dragon for three hundred rounds? Not to mention that the Black Dragon had never used his true form, it was really tiring to fight for three hundred rounds.
n
n“The Sword Immortal is actually so powerful. If I can see him, I’m afraid I won’t have any regrets in my life.”
n
n“Isn’t that so? I remember that the Sword Immortal was a white-haired old man.”
n
n“What nonsense are you talking about? The Sword Immortal is clearly a handsome mighty figure.”
