Chapter 1462: Mudragon Family Conspiracy Collapses, Azure Sky Saint's Tactics

Mangshan Snake King's mouth was full of fresh blood, his icy stare fixed on the Mudragon Family members who had come.

Mudragon Earth Elder led a group of clansmen over, all together fewer than thirty people, they were an elite group of the Mudragon Family, plus several elders, all mighty combat strength of the Mudragon Family; for this Mangshan Mountain Range occupation, the Mudragon Family could be said to have dispatched a batch of Strong Ones.

Even the Mudragon Earth Elder was sent over, showing how much they valued this battle, which concerned the Mudragon Family's future arrangements and also whether they could successfully enter Cangzhou; this time, only success is allowed, no failure.

The previous operation failed, one elder died and many disciples were lost, nearly ruining their arrangements in Cangzhou; this time, we must not repeat the mistake, we must…… successfully occupy the Mangshan Mountain Range, then step by step erode Cangzhou.

They came with mighty momentum, brimming with confidence beforehand, not thinking the Mangshan Demon Palace could stop them; unexpectedly, as soon as they landed, they saw Mudragon Sea Elder dead before them, his body torn in half, swallowed in one bite.

Mudragon Wenlong spat blood and was flung backward, nearly dying; the Demon Kings of the Mangshan Demon Palace eyed them tigerishly, already giving chase, their movements sensed, these Demon Kings in the Mangshan Demon Palace's battle ceased their internal strife and turned to attack them.

This was something they hadn't anticipated, and also…… what they feared most; Mudragon Earth Elder's face darkened, he raised his hand to stop the impulsive clansmen behind him, who wanted to kill this group of Demon Kings to avenge the deceased Mudragon Sea Elder.

Mangshan Snake King bared his teeth and said: "Mudragon Family, you have great gall, daring to send people into my Mangshan Mountain Range—do you not place us in your eyes?"

Or do you think the Mangshan Demon Palace's internal strife prevents it from attending to you, allowing you to do as you please in my Mangshan Mountain Range?

Hmph, how the Mangshan Demon Palace fights internally is our affair, unrelated to you humans, and even more unrelated to your Mudragon Family; you dare enter my Mangshan Mountain Range's territory, showing you don't put us in your eyes—I will let you see the consequences of intruding into my Mangshan Mountain Range.

Drip-drip.

Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth onto the ground, that was Mudragon Sea's blood; the bloody smell wafted, everyone present fell silent; the Mudragon Family side looked at Mudragon Earth Elder, awaiting his command; the Mudragon Family must not be bullied—their daring to kill our elder shows they look down on us.

Mangshan Snake King waited for them to act; the horde of Demon Kings gazed arrogantly, not putting these people in their eyes at all; every demon beast was starving, wanting to try a bite of the Mudragon clansmen's flesh—no doubt it would be delicious.

These demon beasts all want to eat humans; they haven't eaten humans in a long time, and these Mudragon people are prime-quality humans—eating one could save them decades of bitter cultivation; why not?

"Mangshan Snake King, what do you mean? My Mudragon Family teamed up with you to take down the Mangshan Demon Emperor—do you intend to renege on the deal?" Mudragon Earth Elder, naturally aware of some context, confronted him face to face.

Mudragon Wenlong was protected behind them, the clansmen behind fed him medicinal pills.

"Mudragon Earth, don't defame this king; I never promised your Mudragon Family anything—your Mudragon Family is forbidden from entering the Mangshan Mountain Range; withdraw immediately, or face death without pardon." Mangshan Snake King would not admit it, even if he had agreed, he could not acknowledge.

Moreover, he never agreed to let Mudragon Wenlong station in the Mangshan Mountain Range; this is sheer nonsense.

It is these people before him who are defaming him, trying to sow discord among them.

Bai Xinlan and Xu Kongwang exchanged a glance; Xu Kongwang shook his head, he didn't know about this deal, but he knew Mangshan Snake King was no fool—he would not agree to such a thing, nor would he consent to let the Mudragon Family enter the Mangshan Mountain Range.

Once they establish a foothold in the Mangshan Mountain Range, they will become the Mangshan Demon Palace's greatest…… threat.

"Mangshan Snake King, are you going to go back on your word?" Mudragon Earth's fury blazed as he confronted him face to face.

Mangshan Snake King gave a contemptuous chuckle: "Heh, Mudragon Earth Elder, I just ask you one thing—will you leave or not?"

Behind them, the Demon Kings' killing intent was intense; countless demon beasts surged forward, a black mass.

On the ground, in the sky, or underground, many demon beasts lurked, ready to strike at any moment; all it took was a command from Mangshan Snake King, and they would instantly tear these people apart.

Demon beasts and humans are naturally enemies; these demon beasts' hatred for humans is even greater, so they could never let them go.

Mudragon Earth gazed at the expanse of demon beasts before him; a rash battle would bring them no benefit, yet having come this far they could not simply retreat, or they would become a laughingstock in Cangzhou—how could the Mudragon Family ever stand firm?

Mudragon Sea Elder fell in battle, many elders died in Cangzhou, and numerous disciples also perished on this land—how could he not avenge them?

If he did nothing and simply retreated, how could this elder face the Mudragon clansmen? How could he face the Family Head?

"Mangshan Snake King, and you lot, must you oppose my Mudragon Family?"

Mudragon Earth Elder scanned the Demon Kings; all the Demon Kings of the Mangshan Demon Palace were present, except the Mangshan Demon Emperor.

The Mangshan Demon Emperor is dead; these Demon Kings are the Mangshan Demon Palace's strongest combat strength, not to be underestimated.

Four Demon Kings, two Dharma Protectors, and the surrounding swarm of demon beasts encircling them—if they wanted to withdraw, it would hardly be possible; these demon beasts before them would never let them go, they must fight a battle before they can leave this place.

A battle is unavoidable.

Bai Xinlan said coldly: "Mudragon Earth Elder, no more talk—just attack."

"Since your Mudragon Family has entered the Mangshan Mountain Range, you had better not think about leaving alive."

"Today, this place will be your burial ground."

Xu Kongwang said ruthlessly: "Dharma Protector Bai Xinlan is right—you, surrender."

The two Dharma Protectors declared their stance first; the Demon Kings naturally could not lag behind.

Black Tiger stepped forward, baring his teeth in threat: "Obediently enter my belly—I haven't eaten humans in ages; you should feel honored to…… be eaten by me."

The Hornet King narrowed his eyes, fixing his gaze on the Mudragon Family's people.

Diewumeng crossed his arms, staring coldly, saying nothing—his gaze already conveyed everything.

Mudragon Earth Elder turned to ask Mudragon Wenlong; Mudragon Wenlong's face turned pale as he said: "Elder, there's no need to fear—they have just gone through a battle, their strength is not at its peak, especially Mangshan Snake King, who is barbaric, his strength is severely weakened; we can start with him."

"The same goes for the other Demon Kings; we cannot let them leave, we must avenge Mudragon Sea Elder."

Upon hearing Mudragon Wenlong's words, the Mudragon clansmen instantly went berserk; if that were true, they need not fear.

Mudragon Jie Elder spoke: "Since the young master has said that, let's test their mettle; we cannot have come here for nothing."

"What about you?" Mudragon Earth Elder looked at the others, who all nodded in agreement.

"Let's fight."

"We cannot just leave like this."

"To avenge Mudragon Sea Elder."
