Chapter 196

The more I looked, the more I felt something was off; not only the Wise Tiger Demon King, but the other Tiger Race Demon Kings beside him also furrowed their brows, and it was that familiar feeling again.

Every time this feeling arose, it foretold that the Water Race side had a major problem.

But now it's different from before; they've already gone to war with the Human Race and urgently need support from the Water Race.

If the Water Race drops the ball at this time............ the host of Tiger Race Demon Kings dare not continue thinking.

Forcing himself to steady his emotions, the Wise Tiger Demon King said in a low voice.

"How's the situation at Jinhai Yingdi? Has the Formation been broken?"

This is what they cared most about, but Long Aotian's answer drove the Wise Tiger Demon King completely mad.

"The Dragon King is dead, slain by Hong Zun."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, all the Tiger Race Demon Kings were shocked and disbelieving, their faces full of incredulity.

"You damn lot weren't supposed to break the Formation? So why was our Dragon King killed?"

"Why was the Dragon King killed? Are you all those Demon Kings just eating dry rations?"

A Tiger Race Demon King couldn't hold back and roared angrily.

"How many people are even inside Jinhai Yingdi? At most a few ten thousand, and Shèngjìng experts are no more than a mere four—how the hell could you let them kill the Dragon King?"

No matter how you think about it, it's impossible, yet the Dragon King is indeed dead.

Facing the Tiger Race Demon Kings' fury, Long Aotian didn't change expression, while the Wise Tiger Demon King took a deep breath and said.

"So what now? Has the Formation been broken? Long Aotian, the Dragon King is dead—you should continue leading the Water Race to break through the Formation; we're about to collapse here."

Whether the Dragon King lives or dies, the Wise Tiger Demon King no longer cares; anyway, that old thing wasn't reliable, so if he's dead, he's dead.

What's most critical right now is when the Water Race can arrive in support.

Originally, this demon race operation was to be led by the Water Race; if the Water Race couldn't enter Dongzhou, they would absolutely not provoke a war between the two races.

The Water Race must come, otherwise this battle can't be fought.

But regarding this, Long Aotian replied with a sorrowful face.

"The Dragon King is dead; I have no feelings left, sorry."

"Huh???"

The Wise Tiger Demon King frowned, "What the hell is this bastard trying to do? What does he want to do?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean it literally—my Water Race will not participate in this war; I wish you success."

"Success my ass—this war was your Water Race's plan, and now it's actually started; you want to withdraw? Are you kidding?"

Even the Wise Tiger Demon King couldn't help but flare with anger, let alone the other Demon Kings; for a moment, a chorus of angry shouts erupted.

"Is your Water Race just playing with us?"

"Now that the war has begun, you Water Race say you're withdrawing and you withdraw?"

The Tiger Race Demon Kings' curses didn't cease; in the end, the Wise Tiger Demon King stopped them.

Right now the Water Race definitely has a major problem; scolding won't solve it, the Water Race must come, otherwise they stand no chance against the Human Race.

"Long Aotian, this war was your Water Race's plan; when we contacted you earlier, you didn't say it like this. Now we've tied down many Human Race experts, and you Water Race say you won't come—doesn't that seem inappropriate?"

"Isn't that just selling us out?"

"We must get the Water Race to come—that's the Wise Tiger Demon King's idea—but facing his words, Long Aotian replied indifferently."

"That was the Dragon King's plan with you; what does it have to do with me, Long Aotian? If you're dissatisfied, go find the Dragon King—alright, that's it."

After saying that, Long Aotian directly cut off the bloodline connection, while the host of Tiger Race Demon Kings were so angry they smoked from all seven orifices.

"Damn it, Long Aotian is bullying people too much."

"Exactly, you say you won't come and you won't? You deserve to die."

"I've said it before—this Water Race is unreliable, yet you refuse to believe it."

"What do we do now?"

"Have them go look for the old Dragon King? That old dragon is dead—where the hell am I supposed to find him?"

"Without the Water Race, how can they wage war against the Human Race? There's basically no chance of winning."

"We've been played, completely played; under the torrent of curses, all the Demon Kings eventually turned their gaze to the Wise Tiger Demon King."

"After all, it's the Tiger Race's strategist, with the most ideas; right now we still have to rely on it."

"But facing the gaze of all the Demon Kings, the Wise Tiger Demon King also wanted to lash out."

"It's indeed the Tiger Race's strategist, but damn it, it's not a god; in this situation, what kind of solution could it possibly have?"

"I'll contact the other Demon Kings."

"After saying just that, it immediately contacted the Demon Race forces on Yuan Mountain and other battlefields."

"Upon learning that the Dragon King was killed and the Water Race would withdraw from this war, all the Demon Kings were dumbfounded."

"You can still play like this? If you weren't coming, you should have said so earlier; why wait until we're fighting the Human Race, then have the Water Race dust off its hands and quit?"

"Furious, but anger aside, the matter still needs to be resolved."

"The Demon Kings quickly began discussing what to do next."

"The Water Race's move left all the Demon Race forces in Dongzhou utterly bewildered, basically screwing over the demons."

"The final conclusion from the discussion was that they could only seek peace, negotiate with the Human Race; there was no other option."

"But peace talks aren't something you can just say and do; you can't just fight when you want and talk when you want—how could the Human Race possibly agree?"

"That would require paying an enormous price."

"Let's negotiate peace."

"But the Human Race side will surely demand a lion's share."

"Then what do you say we do? Keep fighting? The human water clan isn't playing anymore; how can we rely on us to fight?"

"Ah, Zhi Hu, what's your opinion?"

"Let's talk; this is the only way."

"Alright."

Even Demon King Zhi Hu nodded, and the other demon kings said nothing more; they could only vent by cursing the water clan a couple of times.

"Damn it, from now on, upon seeing any of this East Sea Water Clan, this king will kill them one by one."

"Hmph, if it weren't for the Near Sea Grand Formation, this king would have charged straight into the East Sea and killed that Long Aotian."

"In my opinion, it would be better to directly join forces with the human race and first wipe out the water clan."

They're so angry they're already ready to join forces with the human race; the water clan is also part of the demon race, but now the demon kings' hatred toward the water clan clearly far exceeds that toward the human race.

That's a hatred so intense they wish to eat its flesh and drink its blood.

This time, the water clan has inflicted heavy losses on the Dongzhou demon race, and also a group of people have been harmed by the water clan—those are the demonic cultivators.

Because the war broke out, all the major sects focused their energy on the battlefield, so naturally their rear defenses were greatly reduced.

This gave those demonic cultivators an opportunity.

One by one, those demonic cultivators who usually hid deeply emerged, beginning to carry out some small moves in the rear.

They were certain that the major sects definitely had no time to attend to them; this was an absolutely once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, allowing them to see the hope of the rise of the Demonic Path.

After the major sects and the demon race suffer mutual losses, that will be the time for their Demonic Path to emerge and reap the harvest.

Within the Forbidden Land, the great figures of the Demonic Path gathered together; each one was a powerful expert of the Shèngjìng realm, clad in black robes, sneering incessantly.

"The war is becoming ever more intense; heh heh, now at last the time has come for us to appear."
