Chapter 673: Chapter 337 Stay in the Demon Tribe to Cultivate
Hearing the words of Lin Yi, a sense of pride suddenly rose in the hearts of the demons from the Golden Peng Clan. After all, the Golden Serpent had been fighting the Fox Clan tooth and nail; even if the Integration Stage Fox Demon decided to cease hostilities, it did so without a hint of concession, insisting on slaying the Void Refinement Fox Demon who had insulted the Dragon Clan.
However, when the Great Ancestor of the Golden Peng Clan spoke up, it was to make the Golden Serpent agree to stop. What an honor that was, signaling that the illustrious Golden Serpent recognized the status of their Golden Peng Clan.
Just then, a grand voice issued from the Human race, “Dragon Ao, during your time cultivating in the territory of our Human Cultivators, I’m sure you have come to know the character of our cultivators. Even if we share a city with the Demon Tribe, we do not mind in the slightest, nor would we humiliate a demon enemy we capture in various ways.”
“Having cultivated in the territory of the Human race for so long, you must have grown accustomed to life here. You may bring the progeny of the Dragon Clan to us for cultivation. On behalf of Tai Xuan Dao Palace, I welcome you and will provide convenience for your cultivation.”
This grand voice elicited a trace of surprise on the faces of the Human Cultivators. They had not expected the Great Tribulation Expert of their Spirit Demon-Slaying City to personally extend an invitation for the Golden Serpent to continue living among the Human race.
But, considering Dragon Ao’s identity, they could understand. Dragon Ao was different from other demons, being of no ordinary status. Just the very act of persuading him to come to the Human race represented a victory, which might eventually lead to a fragmentation within the Serpent Clan.
The surrounding Demon Tribe, upon hearing the words of the Human race’s Great Tribulation Expert, all had a change of expression. The Golden Serpent had flown straight out from inside Spirit Demon-Slaying City, apparently preferring to live among the Human race, which suggested it had no desire to stay with the Demon Tribe.
Now that its identity was revealed and it was entering the Human race’s territory once again, it would undoubtedly be treated with great favor. The Demon Tribe wanted to occupy the Human lands not just for the rich cultivation resources but even more so for the comfortable living environment of the Human race.
Though just one Golden Serpent, even if it joined the Human race, could not stir up much trouble, this undoubtedly represented an attitude. Moreover, no one knew if there would be more Golden Serpents coming to the Spirit Profound Realm in the future.
The two Great Tribulation Demons from the Demon Tribe, who had already been planning to leave, showed a slight change in expression after hearing the words of the Human race’s Great Tribulation Expert. If they allowed Dragon Ao to return to the Human race, it would be a great loss of face for their Demon Tribe.
Moreover, not to mention the Golden Serpents that might descend from the Immortal Realm in the future, even the current Serpents within the Demon Tribe’s domain were acting independently, without forming a proper clan. It was quite possible that, going forward, many Serpents would choose to follow Dragon Ao and live together in the Human territory.
The Golden Peng Clan’s Great Tribulation Demon spoke again, “Dragon Ao, our Demon Tribe bears enmity with the Human race. Now that your identity has been exposed, even if they treat you courteously on the surface, they will reject you in their hearts. It’s better for you to return to the Demon Tribe; we’ll personally arrange a Cave Mansion for you, ensuring your cultivation proceeds without impediment.”
Above Spirit Demon-Slaying City, a loud laugh rang out, “Hahaha, ‘reject,’ it is your Demon Tribe that truly rejects its own members. Wasn’t the previous insult to the white Serpent a fact?”
“Dragon Ao, among the Demon Tribe, there are five powerful clans, with the Fox Clan being one of them. If you join the Demon Tribe, you might well suffer their vengeance in the future, and they are a bunch of cunning and deceitful fellows.”
“However, if you enter the Human race for cultivation, no one would dare to disrespect you. Many cultivators would want to engage with you.”
Not to be outdone, the Demon Tribe’s Great Tribulation Demon retorted, “‘A different race will have different hearts,’ that’s a maxim of your Human race; how could you possibly be so trusting towards a member of the Demon Tribe?”
“Hehe, more talk is pointless; let’s allow Dragon Ao to make his own choice,” the Human race’s Great Tribulation Expert laughed coldly, not saying anything more.
The Golden Peng Clan’s Great Tribulation Demon slowly said, “Dragon Ao, rest assured in your choice. Our Demon Tribe will not bear a grudge against you because of it.”
In the past, it would have threatened with force by now, but judging from the recent clash between Dragon Ao and the Fox Clan, it was clear that he was someone of innate pride who would never yield to threats.
A threat would have only eliminated any reason for him to consider it further.
A faint smile appeared on Lin Yi’s face. Having finally gained an opportunity to penetrate the Demon Tribe, he naturally would not make a second choice. Shearing the Demon Tribe’s wool—how satisfying would that be!
He remained silent, but his figure flashed, and with his ability of Instant Teleport, he appeared in front of White Painting. His fight with the Fox Clan had ended, but he was still under the effect of [Meaningless Fight and Kill].
After arriving next to White Painting, he used the three types of energies within his body to directly break the restrictions around it.
Following that, Lin Yi waved his hand, and White Painting’s wounds rapidly disappeared. Though the three Nascent Souls had left the body, preventing him from using the Five Elements and Wind-Thunder Elements, the energies of heaven, earth, and humanity within him were even stronger.
The healing Divine Skills he had comprehended before could still be used.
Seeing Lin Yi suddenly appear beside the white Serpent, both the Human race’s Great Tribulation Expert and the Demon Tribe’s Great Tribulation Demon revealed a trace of surprise on their faces.
Because they could not feel any Spiritual Power Fluctuation whatsoever—it seemed this might be an Innate Ability of the Dragon Clan. They truly believed the extraordinary background of this Serpent, and it probably used this same ability when it emerged from the Spirit Demon-Slaying City just before.
