Chapter 357

Under such circumstances, he didn't have the slightest interest in dealing with the Dao Yi Sect or breaking the array.

As for the cooperation with the various demon tribes of the Eastern Continent, that was something the old Long Wang had promised; what did that have to do with him, Long Aotian?

Right now, the most important thing was to secure the throne.

Furthermore, even the remains of the Flood Dragon ancestor had been destroyed; what could they use to break the array?

Therefore, facing Hong Zun and his three companions retreating into the array, Long Aotian had no intention of pursuing them. Instead, he said to the Demon Kings behind him:

"Go."

Soon, the aquatic race outside the array retreated back into the sea, and the great battle ended just like that.

"They just retreated?"

"Does this mean we've held the offshore camp?"

"None of your business; that's the credit of the Peak Masters."

"Right, right, right! Peak Master is mighty!"

"Great Elder is mighty!"

"Peak Master is mighty!"

For the disciples of Divine Sword Peak and Jade Maiden Peak, the retreat of the aquatic race was naturally good news. Moreover, slaying the old Long Wang was a great achievement; the aquatic race would certainly have no strength to threaten the offshore camp for a short time.

The array wasn't broken—that was the best result. Otherwise, if a full-scale battle had erupted, who knew how many disciples would have died.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Ye Changqing. Watching the excited and beaming Senior Brothers and Sisters, Ye Changqing couldn't help but smile.

"Junior Brother Changqing, we've won a great victory in this battle!"

Xu Jie didn't know when he had arrived, but he wrapped his arm around Ye Changqing's neck and said excitedly.

"Indeed."

"Then shouldn't we celebrate today?"

He winked frantically at Ye Changqing. Ye Changqing naturally understood what he meant. However, having survived the ordeal, Ye Changqing was in a good mood, and there wasn't much else he could do. Besides, the disciples had been under immense pressure during this time.

Don't look at them laughing and joking all day; the threat of the aquatic race had been hanging over everyone's heads.

Now that the aquatic race had retreated, it was indeed time to celebrate properly.

"Good, today we should celebrate properly."

"Junior Brother is generous!"

The offshore camp was plunged into revelry, while within the Eastern Continent, the great battle was still ongoing.

Humans and demons were fighting more and more fiercely; this was a war between two races, and the intensity of the carnage went without saying.

On the Huling battlefield, they had already clashed with the Tiger clan several times, and even high-level Dao Yi Sect figures like Qi Xiong and Wu Shou had personally joined the fray.

"These stupid tigers are still so hard to kill."

The current situation was still a stalemate; the human side hadn't gained any advantage.

Qi Xiong had originally intended to kill a few Tiger clan Demon Kings, but these stupid tigers were all thick-skinned. Winning wasn't difficult, but killing them was truly not easy.

Unless one could seize a perfect opportunity to completely block their retreat and have enough time, there was no chance.

Hearing Qi Xiong's complaint, Wu Shou on the side also said helplessly:

"The Tiger clan isn't stupid either. Moreover, the Wisdom Tiger Demon King is coordinating the overall situation, leaving almost no loopholes. This battle is not easy to fight."

"Even if it's not easy, we have to keep fighting. If there are no loopholes, then we'll just fight with strength and foundation."

Trying to catch them off guard seemed impossible now. The Tiger clan wasn't giving any chances, so they could only fight head-on.

The pressure on the human side was great, but the situation on the Tiger clan side was even more severe.

To be honest, after several battles with the humans, the Tiger clan had been under immense pressure. Furthermore, with Qi Xiong personally sitting on the Huling battlefield, the pressure was even greater.

At this time, the Tiger clan Demon Kings gathered together, asking about the progress on the aquatic race side.

"What does the aquatic race say? Still no movement?"

"Didn't they say they could break the array in a day? It's already been several days, hasn't it?"

"Wisdom Tiger, what exactly does the Long Wang say?"

"I can't contact him."

"Then why don't you contact other aquatic Demon Kings?"

Having contacted the old Long Wang several times without response, the Wisdom Tiger Demon King was also anxious, and a faint, bad premonition grew in his heart.

Could something have happened to the aquatic race?

Under the urging of the other Demon Kings, the Wisdom Tiger Demon King finally contacted Long Aotian.

After all, he was the number two figure of the aquatic race; if he couldn't contact the old Long Wang, he would naturally contact him.

Fortunately, this time the bloodline connection was quickly established, and Long Aotian's figure appeared in the blood screen.

"Long Aotian, what's going on with the Long Wang? Why can't I contact him? And what's the situation on your side? Haven't you broken the array yet?"

As soon as he started, the Wisdom Tiger Demon King bombarded him with questions. But as his voice faded, intermittent sounds of fighting and cursing could be heard from the blood screen.

"Long Aotian, you committed regicide, you deserve to die! The ancestor's spirit in heaven will never let you go!"

"Long Aotian, you are a sinner of our aquatic race!"

"Even as a ghost, I won't let you go! Long Aotian, you despicable villain!"

Huh???

Although he couldn't hear it very clearly, the Wisdom Tiger Demon King still felt something was wrong. He looked closely and realized: this Long Aotian seems to be in the sea right now, aren't you guys supposed to be breaking the array? What are you doing running into the sea?
