Chapter 916: Chapter 916 - 420: Hidden Currents in Tianyuan Town

Tianyuan Town.

A full moon hung high in the night sky.

The Green Demon licked the bloodstains on his hand, his gaze growing more sinister and cruel.

All around him lay the corpses of disciples from the Truth Spirit Martial Arts Hall.

The alliance between the Li Family and Truth Spirit Martial Arts Hall was now a fact.

But there would always be dissenting voices.

These differing voices needed to be silenced.

And he, too, required blood to enhance his strength.

"Blood Demon..."

The Green Demon looked up at the moon, his thoughts complex.

"I wonder if you, too, are gazing at the same night."

"Because of you, I had a massive argument with the Shu Bird Demon, but arguments are meaningless."

"In the Demon World, the strong are respected; only by matching or surpassing him can I truly have a say, can secure our future."

The Shu Bird Demon intercepted letters without permission, causing the Green Demon to miss the news of Fang Yu leaving town.

If he had known earlier, the Green Demon would certainly have arranged more guards for Fang Yu, prepared adequately before letting him leave town.

Outdoor, even for demons, is not absolutely safe.

Not to mention when faced with a demon wearing human skin; other demons wouldn’t care that much. If they kill, they kill; outsiders might think you’re here to seize territory.

The territorial conflicts among outdoor demons are brutal, following the law of the jungle, even harsher and more straightforward than the human world.

Any foreign demon entering another demon’s territory would be seen as an enemy coming to take over.

Moreover, some wild spirits occasionally appear to hunt.

And nearing human roads, they might encounter martial artists out to eliminate threats, being dealt with carelessly...

Therefore, the outdoor environment is indeed quite harsh.

But compared to in human towns, without the underlying schemes and calculations lurking among humans, there is only pure slaughter, the collision of power.

No need for disguise, one just charges at humans for a kill, eats them without considering the aftermath; quite convenient, primitive.

Yet handling relationships among fellow demons, and upon reaching another demon’s territory, care in dealing is crucial to avoid misunderstandings.

One slip, and if the opposing Great Demon is temperamental, it wouldn’t be avoided to trigger a great battle.

Also, some Great Demons might consider subduing unfamiliar demons as subordinates; if the passing demon disagrees, violence would force submission for servitude.

In summary, there are various situations outdoors.

Without smoothing relations, or possessing strong powers themselves, even as demons, they too need to tuck their tails outdoors, otherwise facing life threats.

Organized demons and outdoor wild demons sometimes act differently.

Organized demons are more united, more targeted in opposing humans.

Whereas outdoor demons are more individualistic.

Besides hunting passing humans, they’re far less friendly to their kind.

Therefore, the Green Demon genuinely worries about someone’s safety.

"Return safely, Blood Demon."

The Green Demon cannot go out now.

His identity, current situation, under pressure from the Shu Bird Demon, makes it impossible for him to leave town and support Fang Yu.

Not to mention, it’s already been several days since Fang Yu left town; any attempt to catch up is futile now.

"Still not strong enough! If I were strong enough, how could this happen? How would the Shu Bird Demon dare defy my will, secretly pulling stunts!"

The Green Demon clenched his fist, looking towards a few remaining human martial artists.

He must become stronger!

However, the Green Demon had no idea that on a high-rise beside him, an invisible breath was watching his every move with keen interest. "It’s close, soon the Blood Sea Demon will have results."

"A strong and forceful ally versus a developing, albeit theoretically potent, Little Demon; their value is self-evident."

"Moreover... they seem to have encountered some trouble now, needing a Great Demon’s assistance."

Just relying on force cannot control a person.

Force and interests combined can dissolve these Demon Leader’s mental defenses.

Once dealing with the Blood Sea Demon, it will be about time to formally meet the Green Demon, have a proper talk.

Coincidentally, the Green Demon has a conflict with the Shu Bird Demon now.

Whose orders to follow doesn’t matter, might as well seize this chance to join under my name.

The breath subtly fluctuated due to the pleasant mood.

"Hmm?"

The Green Demon swiftly glanced in the direction but discovered nothing.

Frowning slightly, he kept some vigilance, pondering.

"Withdraw."

Quickly finishing off the remaining humans, the Green Demon led the group away, leaving only dead bodies behind.

The breath seeing this scene was filled with appreciation.

"Potential, temperament, all possessed; this one, his future is immeasurable."

A fine horse is often found, but a discerning judge is rare.

He, the Green Demon, followed the wrong person indeed.

"Sir."

Suddenly, a bloody gust blew, a shadow landed next to the breath, kneeling towards the air.

"Sir, I’ve thought over what you said earlier; as long as sir is willing to help us realize the grand plan, I’m personally willing to follow sir, heading to Thunder City, serving sir alone henceforth!"

"In the back."

The breath spoke faintly, the Blood Sea Demon panicking, quickly turning around, yet sensing nothing.

Blood Sea Demon’s heart sank, understanding further why the Ice Immortal Demon would meet him alone; such a monster-level Great Demon, they aren’t opponents.
