262. Chapter 262: The Threat of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan! Cai'er's Crisis!

Deep in the underground abyss, within the Nether Snake Earth Vein.

Currently, an atmosphere of urgency permeates the headquarters of the Nine Serenity Deep Earth Python Clan.

Countless Snake-People gaze with cold glints in their eyes toward the sky outside the earth vein.

In that sky, there are countless figures.

Massive wings, like dark clouds, shroud this expanse of heaven and earth.

"Clan Leader, the people of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan are simply going too far; they have actually come to our doorstep to kill!"

"If our clan does not take the slightest action, we will inevitably become a laughingstock in the future!"

"When that time comes, in this vast Beast Domain, what other tribe would dare to attach themselves to our Nine Serenity Deep Earth Python Clan?"

On a majestic mountain peak of the Nether Snake Earth Vein, over a dozen figures stand.

Among them, several elders with icy expressions speak in deep voices to the sturdy back in front of them.

"Elders, this matter is not simple. This time, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan Leader, Huang Tian, has personally led the troops here. That old fellow has the strength of a late-stage Five-Star Dou Sheng. Looking throughout our Nine Serenity Deep Earth Python Clan, who can rival him?"

Just as most of the Nine Serenity Deep Earth Python Clan elders were echoing these sentiments, an elderly man in grey robes with a somewhat rigid expression frowned and said.

"Cowards! Are we just going to watch the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan shit on the heads of our Nine Serenity Deep Earth Python Clan and not even dare to speak up?"

"We would rather die defending the dignity of our clan than act like these spineless turtles!"

"If you are afraid of death, you can leave now, but in the future, do not tell outsiders that you are members of our Nine Serenity Deep Earth Python Clan..."

After this elder finished speaking, he was met with mockery and sarcasm from several other elders.

"You... you all!"

Being mocked like this by his own kin, the elder's face immediately turned very ugly.

"Don't you know that the purpose of this Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan attack is merely that woman who is cultivating in the Nine Nether Yellow Spring!"

"Moreover, behind this matter, there is the instigation of a transcendent power like the Soul Clan!"

"As long as we hand that woman over..."

This elder seemed very unconvinced.

He was analyzing the specific situation very seriously.

However, before he could finish his last sentence, he was silenced by a cold snort.

"The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan tells us to hand over a person, and we just hand them over? Where would the face of my Nine Serenity Deep Earth Python Clan be? Furthermore, the one in seclusion in the Nine Nether Yellow Spring is Gu Fei's woman!"

"I don't need to tell you what Gu Fei's status is; I believe you should all be very clear about it!"

The sturdy figure turned around, his face filled with an air of authority that did not require anger to be intimidating.

This person is none other than the current Clan Leader of the Nine Serenity Deep Earth Python Clan, Yaoming!

"Young Master Gu Fei's prestige is known to the whole world... but isn't there a rumor that Young Master Gu Fei has already fallen in the Demon Fire Space?"

"Besides, today is the final day set by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. If we don't hand over the person, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan will attack!"

Upon hearing this, two elders who were still fantasizing about seeking peace with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan spoke in low voices.

Hearing these words, everyone's heart sank slightly.

After all, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan Leader, Huang Tian, has the terrifying strength of a late-stage Five-Star Dou Sheng, which even Yaoming cannot block.

And in this operation by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, it seems that people from the Soul Hall are also secretly involved.

Yaoming, under this immense pressure, remained silent for a short while before asking in a deep voice: "Elder Qi, the letter I asked you to send to the Ancient Clan, has it been sent?"

"Replying to the Clan Leader, it has already been sent."

Hearing this, Elder Qi nodded, then hesitated: "However, will the Ancient Clan really send people to come?"

"That's right, although Young Master Gu Fei is the Young Clan Leader of the Ancient Clan, he has now, after all, already..."

"His woman can only be considered an outsider to the Ancient Clan! And, those Ancient Races have the restrictions of the Clan Agreement; experts above the Four-Star Dou Sheng level cannot easily make a move!"

The two elders who advocated for peace said with worry.

What they said also had some logic.

In normal times, who in this world would dare not show respect to anyone associated with the Ancient Clan?

As long as someone from the Ancient Clan stepped forward, regardless of their cultivation level, the other party would not dare to act recklessly.

But this time, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, because of their hatred, is determined to cause trouble for Gu Fei's woman.

And with the Soul Hall, and even the Soul Clan behind the Soul Hall as their backing, even if the Ancient Clan sends people, it might not necessarily solve the trouble.

"Now, we can only wait... Besides, the rumor that Brother Gu Fei is dead is just a rumor. The news I received is that a phantom of the Demon Saint appeared on Brother Gu Fei... perhaps for him, it is a great opportunity!"

"If he can refine the legendary Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, Young Master Gu Fei will soar into the sky, and in the future, he will definitely become a figure standing at the peak of the continent!"

Yaoming pondered for a while, but still did not back down; this was the promise he made to Gu Fei back then.

He is a person who knows how to be grateful. If it weren't for Gu Fei's rescue, he might still be suffering in the dark, sunless Yellow Spring Bottom.

Moreover, he is also gambling.

Gambling that Gu Fei is not dead.

And this time, if the Ancient Clan can send people, even if they cannot defeat Huang Tian, at least it could alleviate the pressure on the Nine Serenity Deep Earth Python Clan.

"Yaoming... the three-day time limit has arrived!"

"Have you made a decision in your heart whether to hand over that person or go to war with my clan?"

Just at this moment, a calm voice containing immense pressure sounded from the sky like thunder, falling into the ears of every member of the Nine Serenity Deep Earth Python Clan.

Hearing this voice, the expressions of the elders on the mountain peak all became ugly.

Yaoming's eyes were gloomy; his figure moved, and he swept into the high sky, his gaze turning toward the outside of the mountain range.

In that sky, a giant Demon Phoenix was flapping its wings, which were hundreds of feet wide.

On the head of the Demon Phoenix, a figure dressed in purple-gold robes stood with hands behind his back.

A pair of eyes, shimmering with gold and incomparable majesty, also cast their gaze toward him.

"Clan Leader Huang Tian, the person cultivating within the Nine Nether Yellow Spring is the woman of the Ancient Clan's Young Clan Leader; if you touch her, the Ancient Clan will not let this matter rest."

Looking at that person, Yaoming said in a deep voice.

"Hehe, what a fine 'will not let this matter rest'..."

Hearing this, a faint trace of mockery flashed through the eyes of the man dressed in purple-gold robes: "Gu Fei killed my son, this hatred is irreconcilable; do you think this king still cares about them not letting it rest?"

"It seems this fellow is determined to capture Miss Cai'er to avenge his foolish son Jiu Feng..." Hearing this, Yaoming frowned deeply.

"I will ask you one last time, will you hand her over or not?"

Huang Tian looked at Yaoming with a fierce gaze.

The pressure belonging to a Five-Star Dou Sheng powerhouse was also released along with it.

"I have already said it, this is my promise to Brother Gu Fei; unless I die!"

Yao Ming's answer remained very resolute.

"Hehe, what is the point of keeping a dead man's promise!"

"That Gu Fei killed my son; this time, I, this king, will personally capture his woman and torture her to death to vent the hatred in my heart!"

Huang Tian's cold voice was filled with hatred.
