Chapter 138: The Demon Saint General Mansion Gets Snubbed

"Look quickly! On that kid's body... this... how is this possible?!"

Suddenly, a Demon Beast pointed at Zhang Yi, their voice trembling.

Everyone looked in the direction their finger pointed, only to see Zhang Yi radiating a dazzling light.

Powerful energy fluctuations surged from within his body, spreading in all directions like a tide, causing the surrounding space to distort.

His entire being seemed reborn, his temperament ethereal, as if a celestial being had descended into the world.

And the giant dragon, Jubiao, and the old man beside him all appeared eclipsed under this dazzling light, as if they had become his foils.

"This... what kind of Spirit Pill or miraculous medicine did this kid eat? How did he become so powerful?"

Xiong Batian widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

He had originally intended to find Zhang Yi to take revenge.

But seeing Zhang Yi's appearance at this moment, he couldn't help but want to retreat.

"This aura... so powerful! It's simply a few degrees stronger than our Demon Saint!"

The Elder of the Demon Saint General Mansion turned pale, a stormy sea churning in his heart.

He had originally thought Zhang Yi was just a Wangri Bird with a bit of talent.

He never expected that in such a short time, he would have grown to such a terrifying level.

"It's over, we're in big trouble now!"

Several Great Demon guards of the Demon Saint General Mansion also looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear and despair.

They had originally thought this mission was a sure thing, never expecting to run into such a tough nut to crack.

Just as everyone was terrified, Zhang Yi and his group had already arrived above their heads.

Zhang Yi looked down at the Demon Beasts below, a playful smile curling the corners of his mouth.

He did not stop, but instead led the group to continue flying forward, soon disappearing into the horizon.

"Just... just like that, they left?"

Xiong Batian stared blankly in the direction where Zhang Yi had disappeared, unable to collect his thoughts.

He had originally thought Zhang Yi would stop to settle scores with them, never expecting the other party to not even take them seriously.

"Elder, what do we do now?"

A Great Demon guard asked cautiously.

The Elder of the Demon Saint General Mansion was silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "What else can we do? Let's go back and report!"

His voice was filled with helplessness and bitterness.

They had completely failed this mission; not only did they fail to obtain the treasures of Linggu, but they also let the variable that was Zhang Yi escape their control, and after returning, they didn't know how to explain it to the Demon Saint General Mansion.

"But... the Demon Saint General Mansion..." another Great Demon guard hesitated to speak.

"As for the Demon Saint, I will explain it personally."

The Elder of the Demon Saint General Mansion interrupted him, "Let's go!" After speaking, he turned and flew toward the Demon Saint General Mansion, and the several Great Demon guards hurriedly followed.

Watching the group from the Demon Saint General Mansion slink away in disgrace.

The remaining Demon Beasts also felt like deflated balls, losing all their spirit.

After all, even a big tree like the Demon Saint General Mansion had withered, so what kind of tricks could small fry like them pull?

Thus, the scene that had been quite lively suddenly scattered like birds and beasts, each heading home.

However, beneath the surface calm, there were undercurrents.

These Demon Beasts, having long accumulated a belly full of schemes while competing for resources in their daily lives, were now discussing it heatedly, the pot having boiled over.

"Damn it, what kind of situation is this!"

A sturdy Black Bear spirit sat on the ground with a thud and complained in a muffled voice, "We worked so hard to run to this Linggu, and we didn't even get a single hair! Those few lousy birds, on the other hand, ate their fill; it really pisses me off!"

"Who's to say otherwise!"

A sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked fox spirit nearby rolled their eyes and chimed in, "This Core Land is a treasure land that is hard to come by in a thousand years! So many heavenly materials and earthly treasures, just watching them get wasted by those few birds!"

"Hmph, what's there to envy!"

A petite rabbit demon curled her lips in disdain, "It was just dumb luck! If it weren't for that old crane man protecting them, they would have been torn to shreds by the people from the Demon Saint General Mansion long ago!"

"You can't say it like that."

Another old wolf demon spoke slowly, "Those few Wangri Birds really do have some skills. Especially that one called Zhang Yi, tsk tsk, he's simply reborn! Didn't you see his momentum just now? It wasn't much worse than the Demon Saint!"

Once these words were spoken, the surroundings immediately fell silent.

A complex look flashed in the eyes of many Demon Beasts.

"Hehe, if you ask me, why don't we go find those few birds and try to get close to them!"

A small Demon Beast with wings suggested sneakily, "Since they got so many benefits, they should at least let us have some scraps, right?"

As soon as this was said, it immediately drew a chorus of agreement.

Many small Demon Beasts felt this was a good idea and expressed their willingness to go together.

After all, hanging out with the strong is much better than fighting alone.

"Bah! You bunch of fence-sitters, do you have any shame left?"

A giant eagle demon spat without ceremony.

"When those few Wangri Birds were being bullied, you all hid faster than rabbits! Now that you see them in power, you're shamelessly trying to cozy up to them? Why would they pay any attention to you?"

The eagle demon's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the enthusiasm of many Demon Beasts.

They also realized that their previous actions were indeed a bit unscrupulous.

Now, wanting to curry favor with them again would likely be harder than ascending to heaven.

"So we're just going to let it go like this?"

A young and hot-headed tiger demon asked unwillingly, "The people from the Demon Saint General Mansion suffered such a big loss, they definitely won't let it rest! Why don't we go back and check the situation first? Maybe there's still a chance?"

"Right, right, right, it is safer to follow the people from the Demon Saint Mansion!"

The other Demon Beasts nodded one after another, expressing their agreement.

Just like that, the group of Demon Beasts split into two factions.

One faction followed the people from the Demon Saint Mansion away with ulterior motives, preparing to continue their observations.

The other faction still had not given up on the idea of currying favor with Zhang Yi and was whispering to one another, discussing where to go to find Zhang Yi.

Among them, the one most unwilling to give up was undoubtedly Xiong Batian.

He had originally intended to find Zhang Yi to take revenge and wipe away his humiliation, but he had not expected the other party to suddenly transform into an existence even more powerful than himself.

This massive disparity left him feeling incredibly stifled.

"Damn it, I refuse to believe this!"

Xiong Batian slammed his fist hard against the ground, sending dust flying all around, "I don't believe that a mere little Wangri Bird can keep acting so arrogant forever! Just you wait, I will make him pay the price sooner or later!"

And just at this moment, an inconspicuous little Demon Beast quietly approached Xiong Batian and whispered, "Boss Xiong, I actually have an idea, I just don't know if you..."
