Chapter 170

In those years, the North Sea Demon Court swept across the East Sea; although it was finally driven back by the Demon Hunting Team, it also dragged along many demons when retreating.

Among them, the Marmot Clan was one of those.

That's because the Demon Court has declined in recent years; otherwise, they would truly have looked down on the Marmot Clan.

Originally, the Marmot Clan also heard that coming to the Demon Court's side would let them happily loaf around, so they came over.

However, the good life never arrived.

The Marmot Clan discovered that this damned place, the North Sea, is bitterly cold and utterly unsuitable for them to live.

Of course, more importantly, this damned place is simply too cold, making it utterly unsuitable for their clan to grow pumpkins here.

So, now they can only eat the frozen-hard jerky to get by.

"Big brother, I miss the sunshine of our hometown and pumpkin porridge!"

The Marmot Clan's Second Chief said.

"Pa!"

But as soon as his words fell, the Marmot Clan's Second Chief's head was struck heavily.

"Don't talk nonsense, do you think I, the boss, don't want to?"

The Marmot Clan's Chief said, taking a piece of jerky from his bosom and biting into it, muttering: "It's really terrible!"

Having said that, he threw the remaining strips of meat into the Marmot Army behind him.

Immediately, the Marmot Army erupted in a scramble.

There's no way around it; although the jerky is awful, at least it fills the stomach, right?

It's laughable, really—the mighty Demon Court has sunk to the point where its subordinate demons are starving.

Watching the jerky being scrambled over by a bunch of Marmot Clan lackeys, the Marmot Clan's Second Chief swallowed his saliva.

In a flicker of his gaze, one didn't know what wicked scheme this guy was hatching.

And at the very front of the army, Fei Tan frowned, looked back, and couldn't help but feel furious inside.

Consider him, one of the Ten Great Demon Marshals of the Ancient Demon Court, who once commanded an army as a general, achieved great merit in the great war against the Shaman Tribe, and was indeed mighty.

Yet who would have thought that, after his return, the Demon Court allotted him nothing but rotten fish and shrimp.

"That bastard Bai Ze is only taking advantage of me because my strength hasn't recovered yet; once I regain my full power, I—"

"What then?" Fei Tan didn't continue the thought, after all, even at his peak he was no match for Bai Ze.

You should know, the opponent is the leader of the ten great demon commanders; he didn't fall back then, and his strength over these years has very likely progressed even further.

Moreover, Bai Ze is very smart; playing mind games, Fei Dan is no match at all.

So, as for revenge, Fei Dan didn't even want to think about it; the opportunity was simply too slim.

……

"Lu Tong, you are not bad!"

Looking at Lu Tong, who had already reached the peak of Golden Immortal, Wu Liang Xian Weng nodded his head in satisfaction.

"Thank you, Master, for your nurturing!"

Lu Tong knelt on one knee and said gratefully.

"Yes"

Wu Liang Xian Weng stroked his beard and said, "Lu Tong, I am preparing to let you retake the position of captain of the Demon-Hunting Squad."

"Master, isn't my junior sister doing well as captain? Why?"

Lu Tong's heart jolted.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, Wu Liang Xian Weng flung out a jade slip and said, "Take a look, these are all the good deeds your junior sister has done over the years; she thought they were very covert, but she doesn't know that I have long known of her affairs."

He reached out, took the jade slip, unfolded it, and soon discovered that on the jade slip was indeed a long list of demon names.

As Lu Tong flipped through it, his heart grew heavier and heavier.

From this list, Lu Tong quickly saw the problem: the achievements his junior sister had made leading the Demon-Hunting Squad over these years were actually the result of joining forces with the Dragon Clan.

That is to say, the demons hunted by He Tong were all forces hostile to the Dragon Clan, while the Dragon Clan and the demons under its command, He Tong did not touch them at all.

What does this mean?

It means He Tong is using the Demon-Hunting Squad to help the Dragon Clan exterminate dissidents!

"Looks like you understand too!"

Wu Liang Xian Weng said coldly, "Now I give you a task: lead the Demon-Hunting Squad and follow me to strike at the Dragon Clan."

"This, Master, the Dragon Clan is not weak; doing this, is the risk too great?"

Lu Tong said.

"Rest assured, this time I have invited Junior Martial Brother Huang Long to come assist; with us holding the formation, I doubt the Dragon Clan can stir up any waves."

Wu Liang Xian Weng gave a cold laugh.

Hearing that, Lu Tong's heart sank; with the two Golden Immortals joining forces, this time the Dragon Clan is likely unable to escape calamity.

Although Lu Tong did not understand why his junior sister would join forces with the Dragon Clan.

But Lu Tong believed that his junior sister certainly had her own reasons.

This time, if the Dragon Clan is exterminated, then his junior sister's secret is very likely to be exposed.

Lu Tong also did not know what his junior sister's secret was; he was very worried that her secret would likely bring her severe punishment.

"Should I notify the East Sea Dragon Clan?"

Lu Tong thought to himself.

Just then, Lu Tong felt a cold gaze fall upon him.

He looked up, only to find that his gaze had met that of his master, Wu Liang Xian Weng.

The next moment, the deer boy hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to continue gazing at his master, afraid that his thoughts would be seen through.

……

East Sea, Crystal Palace.

Nowadays, the Crystal Palace finally has a semblance of the East Sea Dragon Palace's former heyday.

"Strange, why did he have me move this big stone to the Crystal Palace? What's special about this stone?"

Seeing a group of big stones surrounded by little milk dragons, Ao Run's face was full of doubt.

Over these years, the dragon clan's juniors have been growing delightfully, which has made Ao Guang overjoyed.

However, each little milk dragon is full of energy, yet this has exhausted everyone, after all, raising children is always hard work.

Even the esteemed West Sea Dragon King Ao Run has taken on the task of caring for the little milk dragons.

As for this big stone before us, it was suddenly sent by Ao Yifan earlier, and Ao Run must look after it carefully, not losing it.

At first, Ao Run thought it was some treasure.

But after a careful examination, Ao Run discovered that it was really just an ordinary stone, with nothing special about it.

So Ao Run placed this big stone in her palace as a playground for the little milk dragons.

The only benefit is that the little milk dragons seem to take a liking to this big stone, enjoying climbing on it, which saves Ao Run a lot of worry.

"That guy is really something, breeding so much—if they keep going, our Dragon Palace will have to expand again!"

Ao Run has now completely made the East Sea Dragon Palace her home, after all, it's closer to Chen Tang Pass, so she currently has no intention of returning to the West Sea.

For this reason, Ao Guang is considering the idea of further expanding the East Sea Dragon Palace, after all, the dragon clan is thriving and the Dragon Palace is somewhat insufficient for housing.

Boom—
