Chapter 300: Provoking War Between Humans and Demons, the Ambiguous Stance of the Qingqiu Fox Clan
“Boom!”
The spatial rifts that had been torn apart were shattered, and a black donkey standing on two feet stepped out.
Looking at the weak Taoist priest in front of him who was at the 10th realm, the black donkey spoke with human words: “Why did you steal our clan’s treasure when the Mighty Donkey Clan has always sought peace with the Human Clan?”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng laughed and said, “There’s no particular reason, I just saw that your Sweetfruit trees were growing well, so I picked a few to taste.”
“Insolence!”
The black donkey angrily rebuked, its enormous voice causing the entire sky to tremble.
“Such reckless behavior, even the Xuanwu Alliance cannot protect you.”
“Today, I will definitely capture you and seek justice from the Human Clan.”
“Hahaha!”
“You want to catch me? You still lack the ability. Train for another three thousand years.”
Before he finished speaking, the black donkey’s large hoof rushed toward Chen Changsheng.
Facing this attack that could shatter mountains and split seas, Chen Changsheng stood motionless with his hands behind his back. An identical Chen Changsheng appeared to block the attack.
“Boom!”
The powerful shockwave forced the black donkey to take a few steps back. At the same time, Chen Changsheng’s body became somewhat illusory and nearly vanished.
Seeing this, the black donkey’s eyebrows furrowed instantly.
“You walk the path of Spiritual Sense.”
“Using an illusory Spiritual Sense to directly counter my physical strike, just by this means alone, you would not be unknown in the Human Clan.”
“Who exactly are you?”
“I am Chen Changsheng, one of the myriad members of the Human Clan. If you have the capability, come find me.”
As he spoke, a teleportation array appeared under Chen Changsheng’s feet.
Seeing Chen Changsheng about to escape, the black donkey launched another attack.
However, all of its methods were firmly blocked by Chen Changsheng’s illusory body, ultimately only able to watch as Chen Changsheng vanished into the teleportation array.
After Chen Changsheng left, the powerful beings of the donkey clan trapped in the holy land broke free from the formation.
“Clan Leader, did you catch that scoundrel?”
Hearing this, the black donkey gradually transformed into a black-faced man.
“This person has many skills and is proficient in array formations; I almost let him escape carelessly.”
“What should we do then? Without dealing with this, how can the Mighty Donkey Clan establish itself in Western Central Hezhou?”
“Hmph!”
“Even if a monk runs away, the temple remains. We must demand that the Xuanwu Alliance hand over the person.”
With that, the black-faced man turned and walked away, but he felt a faint sense of crisis in his heart.
…
In a secluded place.
“Taoist Priest, you’re finally back.”
Seeing Chen Changsheng step out of the teleportation array, Hu Toudou ran over happily.
Patting Hu Toudou’s head, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Daoist Priest, I’m not someone a few donkeys can stop.”
“Now that we’ve obtained the Hawthorn syrup, it’s time to make some candied hawthorn skewers.”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, a hint of hesitation flashed in Hu Toudou’s eyes.
“Taoist Priest, although I really want to try the top-tier candied hawthorn skewers you mentioned, isn’t stealing like this a bit improper?”
“It is a bit improper. How about this?”
“After we make the candied hawthorn skewers, we compensate them with something equivalent, what do you think?”
“That’s the best idea. After all, stealing is indeed improper behavior.”
Hu Toudou relaxed, and a smile appeared on Chen Changsheng’s lips.
His gaze then shifted towards the Human-faced Bee encampment.
—
Quiet Western Central Hezhou was now in turmoil.
The Mighty Donkey Clan’s precious Sweetfruit had been stolen, and the Human-faced Bee’s Sweetnectar had been plundered.
These two incidents made everyone’s hearts race.
As the thief was a member of the Human Clan, and he provoked during the theft, such actions easily provoke war between humans and demons.
Yet, the strongest demon clan in Western Central Hezhou, the Qingqiu Fox Clan, took an ambiguous stance towards these actions.
—
Qingqiu.
“Old Lady Hu, does your Fox Clan have no intention of expressing an opinion?”
The black-faced man from the Mighty Donkey Clan arrived at the Qingqiu Fox Clan, accompanied by the Human-faced Bee Queen and other demons.
All the demons waited for the Fox Clan’s stance.
But facing the questioning of the other demons, Hu Qiuyue half-leaned on her throne, her eyes closed as if she were sleeping.
Seeing that the Fox Clan did not express an opinion, the Human-faced Bee Queen grew angry.
“Old Lady Hu, this matter can be big or small, but it concerns the dignity of the demon clan.”
“Our demon clan, ranked among the strong clans in the Upper Realm, is also the gathering place of demons in Western Central Hezhou.”
“If things stolen from our territory by the Human Clan are known, how can our demon clan stand in the Upper Realm?”
Hearing the words of the Human-faced Bee Queen, Hu Qiuyue finally opened her eyes.
Glancing down at the assembled demons, Hu Qiuyue smiled and said, “Naturally, if something is stolen, it must be reclaimed.”
“The human who stole it is proficient in arrays and walks the path of Spiritual Sense.”
“I cannot accurately locate him for the moment, so what do you plan to do?”
Hearing this, a demon stepped forward and said, “What else can we do? We must seek retribution!”
“The Xuanwu Alliance leads the eight billion cultivators in Western Central Hezhou. Such an incident should see the Xuanwu Alliance bring the person to justice.”
“That makes sense, but this person doesn’t seem to be part of the Xuanwu Alliance, so they may not be able to produce the person.”
“It’s their problem. If they cannot produce the person, we will march on the Xuanwu Alliance.”
Hearing this, Hu Qiuyue smiled without comment and turned to look at the black-faced man and the Human-faced Bee Queen.
“What do you think about this matter? After all, it was your things that were stolen.”
Facing Hu Qiuyue’s words, the two people who had previously been adamant fell silent.
Both the Human-faced Bees and the Mighty Donkey Clan are among the top demon clans, and those who can become clan leaders are naturally not incompetent.
Although this matter was infuriating, upon closer reflection, it carried a hint of mystery.
If not, why would he come to the Qingqiu Fox Clan to gather information?
Thinking this, the black-faced man bowed and said, “The Qingqiu Clan is the leader of the demon clans in Western Central Hezhou.”
“In light of such events, the Mighty Donkey Clan is willing to follow Old Lady Hu’s command.”
“The Human-faced Bee Clan is the same.”
With the declarations of the two great clan leaders, a faint smile appeared on Hu Qiuyue’s lips.
“Hearing the words of this Daoist friend, I feel greatly comforted.”
“Looking at the three thousand states, our demon clan can occupy a place among the myriad races because of unity.”
“Now that such events have occurred, our demon clan naturally needs to advance or retreat.”
“Order the armies, ten days later, the demon clan will besiege the Xuanwu Alliance.”
“Until the Xuanwu Alliance produces the person, no clan is allowed to attack the Human Clan, violators will be executed!”
With that, Hu Qiuyue vanished from her throne.
Facing such an order, the Human-faced Bee Queen and the black-faced man were deep in thought.
But some demons had reservations about this order.
In Western Central Hezhou, demons held an absolute advantage. Such matters should be resolved by directly destroying the Xuanwu Alliance.
