Chapter 528: 528
The relationship between the Demon Clan and Demon Mountain was now clear to Jiang Xiaobai and his party.
Demon Mountain, and the entire Xuanmen, were merely branches dispatched by the Demon Clan, the purpose of their existence within the Northern State was still unknown.
But without a doubt, this time, the Demon Clan had become completely hostile to Jiang Xiaobai and the others.
Especially Jiang Xiaobai, he was absolutely livid!
He had been randomly accused because of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s people making unnecessary fuss, and now everything has worsened to its current state.
Especially the Demon Clan’s disregard for the martial morality, they even dared to spread rumors!
This, he wouldn’t tolerate!
The Holy City was the next target for their group, but before they achieved this goal, their priority was to kill off Demon Mountain, the subordinate of the Demon Clan.
In doing so, this would serve as partial payback at least.
Not only that, but Jiang Xiaobai also wanted to clear up the matter regarding the Demon Mountain’s people intending to harm Huseng.
Even though he hadn’t paid much attention to his only apprentice so far, wouldn’t there be time in the future for that?
An apprentice’s affairs should naturally be of concern to his master.
Thus, the group promptly headed straight for Demon Mountain, as usual, hiding their tracks and disguising their appearances. But Jiang Xiaobai and the others have long since decided that after dealing with Demon Mountain, they would no longer hide!
There’s no point!
At that moment, Demon Mountain was enshrouded in dark clouds, with Liu Donghua, the head of Demon Mountain, nervously watching the powerful experts directly summoned from the Demon Clan.
“Liu Donghua, don’t you think you owe us an explanation for this?”
The leader of the group was frowning intensely, glaring at Liu Donghua.
Faced with such a situation, Liu Donghua dared not utter a word, he could only hang his head. In his heart, he was severely cursing Old Yang Zhenting and the others.
They actually ran away under such circumstances?
“Not saying anything, huh? Or do you think that with the strength you’ve built up in the Northern State over decades, you can disregard the Demon Clan?”
Hearing such an accusation, Liu Donghua hurriedly started to explain.
“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant at all, I beg you elders not to think like that!”
“Yes, my subordinates did fail this time, but the circumstances were special, even if they continued to stop Jiang Xiaobai it would be useless, with their capabilities, they could only be sending themselves to death, it is pointless.”
The leader of the Demon Clan was frowning deeply, his face cold as ice, giving off a murderous aura.
“So you’re implying that it’s acceptable for members of the Demon Clan to recklessly die?”
“Of course not, aren’t we, on the Demon Mountain side, already searching for Jiang Xiaobai’s whereabouts!”
Liu Donghua was sweating profusely.
Although he was a high-level expert who had undergone Tribulation, there were quite a few peak-level experts at a similar level in front of him, he stood no chance against them.
The crux of the matter was that he was a member of the Demon Clan!
If he causes a dispute and makes a big fuss, it would be extremely unfavorable to him.
“Rest assured, elders. Based on the forces I’ve managed to assemble in the Northern State over the decades, finding Jiang Xiaobai is just a matter of time.”
“Within one month, I will definitely locate Jiang Xiaobai, and then we can cooperate to capture him alive!”
Hearing him say this, the faces of several elders softened slightly.
“That’s more like it, your attitude in admitting your mistakes is satisfactory.”
“However, you said it yourself, one month. If you don’t have any gains after this time, you should be clear about the consequences, right?”
“Understood, elders, rest assured, finding Jiang Xiaobai in the Northern State is an easy task.”
Liu Donghua quickly responded.
A few elders of the Demon Clan exchanged glances, then huffed coldly.
“Resolve this quickly so that when you capture Jiang Xiaobai, you can clear your name. Go ahead, make sure you remember your promise, I’m only giving you one month.”
After leaving these words, the many elders of the Demon Clan left. Liu Donghua finally let out a breath.
He sat in the main hall’s chair, his face visibly sapped, his eyes filled with frustration and rage!
“Dammit, they’re just elders of the Demon Clan, why are they so arrogant? Wait until I finish arranging the altar and find Jiang Xiaobai’s whereabouts, the rewards will be numerous. It’s totally possible for me to become an inner elder!”
“You’ll see then!”
Although he thought so, Liu Donghua was still quite worried. After all, from their understanding of Jiang Xiaobai, he absolutely won’t let this go!
He probably is already preparing to deal with Demon Mountain.
Just as he was pondering, someone suddenly broke in.
“It’s bad, Master, Jiang Xiaobai has stormed in!”
Hearing this, Liu Donghua, who had just been reprimanded and was deeply annoyed, felt an indescribable thrill in his heart!
Immediately afterwards, his vision went black and he tasted a sweetness in his throat.
All of a sudden, he spat out a mouthful of old blood.
“Damn that Jiang Xiaobai, he’s pushing things too far!”
Liu Donghua spat out blood in rage, his heart burning.
Why did he feel that his Demon Mountain had started to have bad luck ever since it had a little connection with Jiang Xiaobai?
Ever since Demon Mountain first encountered Jiang Xiaobai in West Wind City, many strange things had happened.
Firstly, they failed to complete a task assigned by a big shot, which almost resulted in the destruction of Demon Mountain!
Liu Donghua spent a lot of effort to appease that big shot and assured him that he would do his utmost to complete that task!
Then afterwards, they had just found the altar when Jiang Xiaobai came knocking.
With no other choice, Demon Mountain had to stoop low and give Jiang Xiaobai many benefits to prevent him from causing trouble.
And this time, even with so many experts dispatched by the Demon Clan, they failed to kill Jiang Xiaobai, instead, he found his way to Demon Mountain.
Could Liu Donghua not vomit blood!
He was incredibly unlucky!
“What the hell are you all standing there for, quickly, stop Jiang Xiaobai for me! There are still many tasks at hand for Demon Mountain now, we can’t let Jiang Xiaobai ruin them!”
“Additionally, immediately spread the news that Jiang Xiaobai is here, hurry up!”
Liu Donghua almost roared.
The disciple of Demon Mountain quickly ran off, while Liu Donghua clutched his chest, standing unsteadily in place, nearly stumbling over!
Just as he was contemplating whether to escape or not, a figure suddenly crashed through the main hall’s door.
It was none other than the lead elder of Demon Mountain, Yang Zhenting!
Thud!
Lying on the ground, Yang Zhenting spat out blood, his body trembling as he tried to slide backwards.
Then, several figures walked in, their bodies covered in blood.
“Hey, you must be the head of Demon Mountain, huh?”
“I’ll give you one chance, if you kneel down and beg for mercy now, you might still have a chance to survive, as long as you meet my demands, I’ll spare you!”
