"Defeated!"

The Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox's expression was gloomy, face filled with hostility, and the entire Myriad Demons Temple was permeated with murderous intent, his loud voice echoing continuously.

"A million Demon Soldiers, only less than forty percent returned, nearly half of the Demon Saints lost, over twenty Yang Transformation Great Demons fell. Besides that battle five hundred years ago, when has my Southern Border demon tribe suffered such losses?!"

A Demon Saint of the Mystic Heavenly Divine Spider tribe spoke coldly.

"Hmph, wasn't it because the two of you compromised with Tian Lan? Otherwise, how could we have suffered such a defeat?" said the Bull Horn Demon God with dissatisfaction.

Among the four Great Demon Gods, only he had some discord with Tian Lan, and he was the one who initially led the defense against the Red Nether Blood Tiger tribe. Unfortunately, the other two still chose to compromise with him.

He had no choice but to let the strong warriors of his tribe join the battle.

"Who could've expected this defeat? Who could've thought the young Chen Yuan would gain so much support from the Central Plains Immortal Sect? I supported Tian Lan only with the hope that our demon tribe would prosper!"

The white-clothed Bai Shan spoke solemnly.

Originally, the Red Nether Blood Tiger tribe gained another Demon God, greatly increasing their power, and Tian Lan's ambition became apparent, willing to challenge the three demon tribes.

Bai Shan didn't want internal war, so he came forward and reached an agreement with Tian Lan, as long as he broke through Zhen Nan Pass, allowing the demon tribe to return fully loaded, how could being revered as Demon Emperor be a problem?

No matter what, the interests of their three demon tribes would not change. Since the resources of the Southern Border were insufficient, then go and devour the resources of the Central Plains human race.

Alas, alas.....

"There is no meaning in arguing about these now. This defeat, although it cannot be said to be catastrophic, has also resulted in significant losses for our demon tribes.

Even our three tribes have suffered losses of Demon Saints. How should these accounts be settled?"

The sinister elder Qing Ming said blandly.

"I just want to know if Tian Lan survived and returned. If he died, the blow to our demon tribe compares to the loss of tens of thousands of demons...."

the Bull Horn Demon God looked at Bai Shan and asked.

Demon tribes face more difficulty in cultivating a physical form than humans. It is quite hard to give birth to a Demon God, and for nearly two hundred years, no Demon Saint has successfully achieved a breakthrough.

Therefore, the rarity stands out even more.

Bai Shan hesitated for a moment, exchanging glances with the two Demon Gods, then spoke softly:

"There's news coming in—Tian Lan... is dead."

"Dead?"

"Are you joking about this matter?"

Both Qing Ming Demon God and Bull Horn Demon God were shocked.

"The news was transmitted from a Demon Saint of the Red Nether Blood Tiger tribe. Not only has Tian Lan fallen in that battle, but even the Immortal Seal of the Red Nether Blood Tiger tribe has shattered, their tribe's fortunes have completely collapsed...." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"The strength of the human race is truly frightening!"

The Bull Horn Demon God took a deep breath, his mind unsettled.

His power was comparable with Tian Lan's, but Tian Lan died in the Central Plains South State; if it were him, perhaps.... it would have been no different.

"Indeed, I thought that with the fall of former Chu and the disintegration of Great Jin, the power of the Central Plains would be weak, with only a few Immortals. But unexpectedly...."

"Unfortunately, the specifics of that battle can only be known through the accounts of those Demon Saints, as the chaotic scene can't be captured with a Memory Stone. Otherwise.... I, too, would like to know what truly transpired."

Bai Shan shook his head. The clash of Immortals was too terrifying, the Memory Stone could only perceive chaos; hence, he had no idea of what happened after his Essence Blood Incarnation was killed.

"It seems that the Central Plains is a place that cannot be revisited...."

The disastrous defeat at Zhen Nan Pass not only brought a sense of fear towards humans to the tribes of the Southern Border but even they have reassessed the strength of the human race.

The human race.... is not weak.

"Since Tian Lan has fallen, the losses from this battle should be compensated by the Red Nether Blood Tiger tribe...."

If Tian Lan hadn't died, they surely wouldn't have thought this way, as it would ignite a new round of demonic internal war with unpredictable end.

Various tribes can only exploit the lower strata of species.

But with Tian Lan's fall, the situation changes; what tribe could rival the four Great Demon tribes?

They are clear about their own tribe's foundations; the Red Nether Blood Tiger tribe has become the leader among the four Great Demon tribes, with resources exceeding theirs by far.

"Yet.... the Red Nether Blood Tiger tribe is not without a Demon God. Mo Ying is still alive, if we act now, it will tear the mask...."

Bai Shan hesitated.

Not out of pity for the Red Nether Blood Tiger tribe, but for in the demon tribe, power always reigns supreme. Even their tribe grew stronger through exploiting and oppressing other tribes.

He was only wary of Mo Ying.

If a Demon God becomes enraged, the ramifications are immense, no tribe could withstand a Demon God lurking in the shadows.

"Hmph, just a newly ascended Six Realms Demon God, suppressed for hundreds of years in the Demon Suppressing Tower, has only recently recovered; how much power can he possess?

It's not like draining the Red Nether Blood Tiger tribe, merely requesting them to contribute half of their foundation to compensate for our tribes' losses. Surely, he can make the right decision."

The Bull Horn Demon Saint scoffed, dismissive of Mo Ying's strength.

His only concern, from beginning till now, has been Tian Lan, whereas Mo Ying.... though Bai Shan and Qing Ming fear him, he does not consider him significant.

With Tian Lan gone, the Heavenly Blue Demon Bull tribe's strength is greatest, he intends to rely on the Red Nether Blood Tiger tribe's resources to ascend to the position of Demon Emperor, a position not only Tian Lan coveted, but one he also had an eye on.
