Chapter 484: Leaving the Ancestral Land
The legacy left by the Mighty Demon Clan had already all turned into the wealth of the Earth Spirit Demon Clan after half a month of digestion.
Since this period, the strength of all the tribesmen within the Earth Spirit Demon Clan had ushered in an explosive improvement.
After all, the resources Ye Lin had brought them to plunder were simply too many; many things demons used to improve their strength were things Ye Lin couldn't use, so he gave them all to the Earth Spirit Demon Clan.
Under such conditions where resources were almost endless, improving strength became very simple.
This is like when you are penniless, wanting to earn a million is very difficult; it might take ten years or even a lifetime and you still wouldn't earn it.
But when you have a hundred million in your hands, without me saying it, you can also think of dozens of different ways to easily earn a million.
Within the Earth Spirit Demon Clan, not only were three more Demon Kings added, but the first Demon Emperor also emerged!
However, this Demon Emperor didn't dare to try to sit on equal footing with Ye Lin, but instead kept his head low, very respectful, with the appearance of honoring Ye Lin above all.
All the tribesmen within the Earth Spirit Demon Clan knew very clearly that everything they had today relied entirely on their powerful Lord Earth Spirit Demon Emperor!
Soon, the Earth Spirit Demon Clan launched an attack on the second demon clan on the opposite bank of the Nether Demon River.
Ye Lin also tested the explosive power of integrating elemental power after Dragonification on this demon clan.
With one punch, all three Demon Emperors on the opposite side were left without even bones remaining.
Ye Lin was very satisfied with this and successfully inherited the other party's legacy.
During this period, the name of the Earth Spirit Demon Clan also gradually established its reputation.
All the demon clans on the opposite bank of the Nether Demon River knew that there was a rising star named the Earth Spirit Demon Clan, possessing extremely formidable combat power, having successively destroyed two clans including the Mighty Demon Clan within a month!
Regarding the Earth Spirit Demon Clan, the demons on the opposite bank of the Nether Demon River also had a consensus: unstoppable unless it's an Emperor-Blood Demon Clan!
Some were happy, some were worried.
While the Earth Spirit Demon Clan was killing in all directions, the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan was in dire straits.
"Empress... our Soul-Devouring Demon Clan's great formation, I fear it can only hold out for at most one more day before it completely collapses. Why don't... you just agree to the Flame Demon Emperor."
An old Demon Emperor was trembling, his voice carrying a trace of fear and despair.
He was already too old, so old that the skin on his face had already sagged, and his eyes carried a hint of emptiness.
He wasn't afraid of his own death, but he was very afraid that before he died, he would have to witness the destruction of the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan with his own eyes.
On the throne sat a stunningly beautiful woman, noble and elegant.
Her spirit was like autumn water, her bones like jade, her face like a hibiscus, her eyebrows like willow leaves.
A silver silk robe covered her body, yet it could not hide her proud figure.
A pair of beautiful, cold purple eyes made one involuntarily rise with a strong desire to conquer, wanting to let her be stained with the dust of the secular world.
The only flaw was that those beautiful purple eyes were currently filled with worry.
"Uncle Yue Kai, you are an elder of the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan; you should know very clearly that the Flame Demon Emperor proposing marriage is just wanting to swallow our Soul-Devouring Demon Clan without a fight. In their eyes, our Soul-Devouring Demon Clan is now just a piece of fat meat that everyone wants to take a bite of."
The Soul-Devouring Empress sighed faintly. The disappearance of Bajin City and the betrayal of the three Demon Emperors were simply too great a blow to the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan.
More importantly, some time ago, she tried to approach the place where several Demon Emperors were suppressing Ye Lin.
As a result, before she even saw Ye Lin, she was severely injured by a suddenly appearing magic arrow.
If not for this, the Flame Demon Clan wouldn't dare to bully their Soul-Devouring Demon Clan like this.
If the Soul-Devouring Empress were in her prime state, if the Flame Demon Clan wanted to destroy the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan, they would have to pay a bloody price!
A flash of despair passed through Yue Kai's cloudy eyes; he also understood that even if the Soul-Devouring Empress agreed to unite with the Flame Demon Emperor, it was essentially dealing with a tiger for its skin.
"Empress... why don't... we just abandon the territory here and flee to the outskirts of the Nether Demon River."
The old Demon Emperor gave a bitter smile, and the Soul-Devouring Empress also fell silent.
Fleeing to the outskirts of the Nether Demon River is easy, but wanting to come back won't be so easy, and it's even possible that the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan might never be able to return to the opposite bank of the Nether Demon River again.
After all, the outskirts of the Nether Demon River, whether in terms of the richness of demonic Qi or various resources, are far inferior to the opposite bank of the Nether Demon River; calling it a barren land is not an exaggeration at all.
"At this point... this is all we can do."
The Soul-Devouring Empress closed her eyes with reluctance.
As long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood. If the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan continues to stay here, the only outcome is to be slowly worn to death by the Flame Demon Clan.
Since this period, the Flame Demon Clan would come to cause trouble every few days, not giving her time to heal, nor giving her a chance to fight for her life. After fighting enough, the Flame Demon Clan would directly withdraw.
"This matter, the responsibility lies with me. Uncle Yue Kai, rest assured, once my injuries recover, I will definitely lead the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan to kill our way back! I am willing to swear to Lord Demon God!"
The Soul-Devouring Empress's fair fingers were tightly clenched together.
"Sigh......" The old Demon Emperor sighed. "I will go and instruct the tribesmen to pack up and prepare to leave."
The Soul-Devouring Empress nodded, closed her eyes, and leaned against the throne.
Besides the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan, the only thing she couldn't let go of was Ye Lin, who was still being suppressed by the Demon Emperors.
She received news that because they had been refining for a month, the Eternal Scale showed no signs of reaching its limit, so several more Demon Emperors took action to suppress him together.
At this moment, the number of Demon Emperors driving the Demon Abyss Soul-Lock Seal had reached as many as twenty.
"I told you not to come to the Demon Realm! Why didn't you listen!"
The Soul-Devouring Empress muttered to herself, her tone filled with worry.
"You humans say that good people don't live long, and scourges live for a thousand years. I hope you, this scourge... can live a little longer......"
She really wanted to run off regardless to save him.
But she couldn't.
She was the Emperor of the Soul-Devouring Clan; she had to be responsible for her own clan.
If she were willful, it would lead to the complete destruction of her entire clan.
Under the notification of the old Demon Emperor, all the tribesmen within the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan soon packed their things and prepared to move the entire clan.
Looking at this ancestral land where the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan had lived for who knows how many years, many of the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan members' eyes were filled with reluctance.
Some of the younger Soul-Devouring Demon Clan members couldn't help but have teary eyes.
"Tribesmen, I have failed you!"
The Soul-Devouring Empress's face was full of apology.
"Please rest assured... I promise you, we will definitely have a day to return to our ancestral land!"
Seeing the Soul-Devouring Empress's sincere apology, the people of the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan were also pleasantly surprised.
"Empress... you don't have to be like this! It's us who are too weak and don't have the ability to share your worries!"
"Victory and defeat are common occurrences. As long as our Soul-Devouring Demon Clan is united, there will definitely be no difficulties we can't overcome."
"Correct, it's just leaving the ancestral land temporarily. One day, we will definitely take it back with our own hands!"
Looking at the united Soul-Devouring Demon Clan, the Soul-Devouring Empress's heart was also bitterly painful. She took a deep breath, letting her mood calm down.
"We... set off! Leave the ancestral land and head to the outskirts of the Nether Demon River!"
Following the Soul-Devouring Empress's order, the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan all took action.
But just at this moment, a mocking voice suddenly sounded, its tone filled with sarcasm and ridicule.
"Yo~ you Soul-Devouring Demon Clan, where are you going?" ===== CHAPTER 485 =====
