Chapter 440: Invite the Phoenix Clan to Come Out of the Mountain
“Sigh! I heard that the Ancestor of the Xuantian Sect was coming, so I was at the door to welcome him. I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t receive anyone. I knew that I was overestimating myself. He’s an emperor-level expert… sigh, let’s go! I won’t say anymore.”
Speaking of this, Xu Xiao talked endlessly.
Li Mu smiled and didn’t reply.
The Ancestor of the Xuantian Sect.
Wasn’t it him?!
Because he needed the items in the Forbidden Grounds of the Xuantian Sect, Li Mu had never revealed his true ident.i.ty.
The Ancestor of the Xuantian Sect was pretty good!
It allowed him to obtain everything in the Xuantian Sect in peace.
However, he did not expect that after so many years, this ident.i.ty would be imprinted on him. It was impossible to break free.
“It’s fine even if he doesn’t come. Let’s head in, we haven’t seen each other for a thousand and a few hundred years. Let’s have a good reunion.”
“It feels like a lifetime ago!”
The two entered the city.
Then, the formation in Muyang City was activated.
Li Mu glanced at the formation.
It was ordinary.
A very ordinary formation.
Compared to all the formations in the cities on the Continent, this formation was still the best.
But it couldn’t guard against warriors above the Semi-G.o.d Realm.
Even the warriors of the True Realm could only restrict the use of their skills.
This formation was built by the Xu family with all their strength.
It seemed that the Xu family was still in decline.
The two of them chatted as they slowly entered the main city district and walked towards the Xu family’s courtyard.
“The first thing we did after we came out was to look for your whereabouts. We didn’t expect you to give us a surprise. The entire Demon Clan is hunting for you. After that, we gave up on searching for you.”
“You were right not to look for me!”
“You’ve always been low-key! But we never expected you to be so low-key. After the second Land of Demon Slayer ended, we were all shocked.”
…
“Where did you hide after that?”
“We went back! We returned to the East Continent with the resources we s.n.a.t.c.hed. In a few hundred years, the strength of the descendants of our Xu family has increased by a level.”
Xu Xiao said.
“The Xu family has successfully built a city. Your Ancestor’s wish has been fulfilled.”
“Actually, the city has been built long ago. Today’s ceremony is also a sign that we humans have settled down in this world. The various factions have gathered together to discuss the future direction.”
When the two entered the Xu family, the celebration had already ended.
The guests from the various courtyards had already started their banquet.
Xu Xiao brought Li Mu directly into an attic in the Xu family’s backyard.
“Go, call Liu An and the others over!”
Xu Xiao sent a telepathic message.
Fifteen minutes later, exclamations came from the small building.
“Eunuch Li!”
“Sir!”
…
All the major human forces gathered.
In the Endless Sea, the atmosphere in the hall of the Dragon Clan was abnormal.
“The Xu family has actually returned. Didn’t they say that they were annihilated?”
The Xu family sent invitations all over the Continent.
As early as three years ago, Muyang City had already been built and operated.
The reason why the city-building ceremony had been pushed to this day was to invite the entire world’s human experts to partic.i.p.ate.
While the various human factions knew about it, the Demon Clans also knew about it.
“I’m afraid that nothing good will come out of this gathering of the humans.”
“Secondly, I’m worried that they’re planning the next move. At this time, it would be great if we had spies among the humans.”
The Purple Dragon said.
They had spies among the humans.
However, those spies could not enter the circle of these people at all.
These people did not have much connection with the other humans on the Continent.
“Have our people not entered this circle yet?”
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon asked.
“No! They are very careful and strict. The people we sent in were quickly pushed out.”
No spies entered.
They did not know what exactly the operation of this group of people was or what plan they had.
“Carefully observe the operation of Muyang City.”
“Patriarch, there are so many human forces and so many experts gathered in Muyang City. Other places must be empty. Why don’t we make a move against other humans?”
“For the humans to organize such a gathering, they must have thought that we, the Demon Clans, would make a move. They must have a backup plan. Just watch. If we don’t make a move, the other Demon Clans will.”
“What should we do? Watch the other Demon Clans fall into the trap?”
The Dragon Clan hall was silent.
The old dragons opened their mouths, but in the end, they didn’t say anything.
The other Demon Clans could test the strength of the humans, and they could also deplete part of the human’s strength, giving the Dragon Clan time to face this group of people directly.
At this time, they could only watch the other Demon Clans make a move.
“I believe that the other Demon Clans must have guessed that the humans will set up something. It’s up to them to avoid danger.”
After that, the great hall fell silent again.
“No matter what plan the humans have this time, it’s won’t be good for us and the other Demon Clans. At the moment, being strong is more important than anything else.”
As long as they were strong, they could calmly deal with whatever schemes they had.
“The problem is that we’ve done our best to become stronger. If we can understand the movements of the humans, make a plan or avoid them in advance, or warn the other Demon Clans, it will be advantageous for us.”
The discussion went on and on.
At the moment, the humans and the Demon Clans were equal in strength.
Since they could not defeat the humans in terms of strength, they could only play some tricks.
Yet, the humans was a master at playing tricks.
“How can we know what exactly the humans are going to do next if we have to make guesses?”
“Let’s think of a way to send out spies! Even if we don’t know much, we will lose less if we know a little.”
“Do you think it’s possible? We have sent out many spies. We don’t even know how these human warriors became Semi-G.o.d Realm warriors all of a sudden. What’s more, we need to know the latest news about them.”
Depressing!
In the hall, all the dragon warriors were in low spirits.
Everything was changing too fast.
They had been searching for many years, but they still couldn’t find out how these human warriors appeared all of a sudden?
If they had known about these people, even if a dozen of them had reached the Semi-G.o.d Realm, they would not have brought the entire Demon Clans to ruin.
But they had reached the Semi-G.o.d Realm secretly.
Hundreds of them.
“The humans are too cunning!”
“Now, apart from taking action ourselves, we have to ask the Phoenix Clan to come out.”
In a corner, the White Dragon said.
“Are you crazy? Asking the Phoenix Clan to come out at this time? We are not completely defeated yet!”
“We finally managed to suppress the Roc Clan. If the Phoenix Clan comes out, how are we going to distribute the resources in the world?”
…
There were many objections.
“What I mean is that the Phoenix Clan will come out to share the pressure with us. The Phoenix Clan is fighting against the humans, so we’ll just watch from the side.”
The White Dragon said softly.
“I wonder how many experts the Phoenix Clan has?”
“In short, the Phoenix Clan’s strength can’t be weaker than ours. As long as the Phoenix Clan fights with the humans, no matter which side wins, there won’t be much strength left in the end. If the Phoenix Clan wins, who can guarantee that they won’t continue to live in seclusion?”
“Even if the Phoenix Clan doesn’t want to live in seclusion when the time comes, we’ll help them to live in seclusion.”
…
“Who should we send to invite the Phoenix Clan to come out?”
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon stared at the old dragon kings in the hall and asked.
After a long while, there was no response.
“To invite the Phoenix Clan to come out, it must be a Semi-G.o.d Realm Dragon King. The Phoenix Clan will not believe us if we send someone whose cultivation achievement is not strong enough.”
As the Five-clawed Golden Dragon spoke, he stopped the few dragon kings who were about to speak.
Then, the hall fell into silence again.
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon looked at the White Dragon.
“Patriarch, I can’t! I don’t know where the Phoenix Clan is hiding.”
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon looked around.
“Patriarch, I’m afraid that the Phoenix Clan will kill me.”
The Purple Dragon King said honestly.
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon looked at the Black Dragon again.
“I don’t know where the Phoenix Clan is hiding. I can’t find it even if I want to.”
“Since the Black Dragon King wants to go, who knows where the Phoenix Clan is? Tell him!”
