Chapter 377: Qi Xiong, it's you again

The words of the Wise Tiger Demon King left this Luo Xia Sect elder completely bewildered.

When did our Luo Xia Sect ever capture a tiger demon king?

He had just passed by when, out of nowhere, a tiger king attacked him, killing and wounding many disciples, and now this Wise Tiger Demon King is actually framing them, turning the tables.

This made the elder furious.

But the Wise Tiger gave him no chance to explain; as soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Tell Su Luoxing that if the Moon Tiger, Blood Tiger, and White Tiger are not released within ten days, my tiger clan will not relent."

Having said that, he left straight away, leaving only this severely wounded Luo Xia Sect elder with a furious expression.

All the way back to Huling, they encountered no further danger, mainly because the Wise Tiger Demon King and his group had become more cautious.

Who knows where another Peak Master of the Dao Yi Sect might suddenly appear.

Now, whenever the Dao Yi Sect is mentioned, all the tiger kings feel a chill of fear.

You know, the Dao Yi Sect has thirty-six peak masters like Hong Zun, Zhang Tianzhen, and Capture Dragon.

If they were all like that, how many tiger kings would his tiger clan have left to capture? So they must be extra careful.

Only after safely returning to Huling did the Wise Tiger Demon King and his group finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, without waiting for much rest, all the demon kings went straight to find the Tyrant Tiger.

Inside the dong fu, the Tyrant Tiger sat in the chief seat, looking at the Wise Tiger Demon King's party, and frowned slightly as he spoke.

"How come? Where are the bodies of Hong Zun and his group?"

"We've been tricked."

"Still collecting corpses? And we lost another one, damn it."

Hearing that, the Tyrant Tiger also sensed something off, glanced around, realized one was missing, and immediately asked.

"Where is the Moon Tiger?"

"He was captured."

"Huh??"

"Damn it, weren't you supposed to collect corpses and meet the White Tiger? Why did we end up missing one of our own instead?"

The Tyrant Tiger could hardly imagine how this could have happened, but after the Wise Tiger Demon King's explanation, he finally understood.

"This is another trick by the Dao Yi Sect joining forces with Putuo Temple."

"Fortunately, the Wise Tiger had taken precautions; otherwise, not a single one of us would have made it back."

"Again, the Dao Yi Sect—do they think they've got our tiger clan in the bag?"

The Tyrant Tiger roared in anger; seeing this, the Wise Tiger spoke to console him.

"Clan Chief, right now Putuo Temple has also submitted to the Dao Yi Sect; for us to antagonize the Dao Yi Sect now is not the best choice."

"We're no match for the Dao Yi Sect as it is, let alone having to deal with Putuo Temple as well."

"You know, in the previous war between humans and demons, the Buddhist faction never took part."

"But now Putuo Temple has become a subsidiary of the Dao Yi Sect, so that's no longer certain."

"If Putuo Temple gets involved, our Huling absolutely cannot stand against both powers at once."

"Don't underestimate Putuo Temple's strength—it's practically on par with the four great sects."

Immediately, the Wise Tiger also laid out his plan in full.

Hearing that, the Tyrant Tiger frowned and asked, "Are we going to attack the Luo Xia Sect again?"

"Last time, Su Luoxing was already near madness; if we do this again, what if he really goes all-out against us?"

The Tyrant Tiger worried that Su Luoxing would go mad, but the Wise Tiger was quite confident about it.

"Clan Chief, rest assured, this cannot happen—even if Su Luoxing were willing, the other members of the Luo Xia Sect would not agree."

"Furthermore, pressuring the Luo Xia Sect is far easier than directly confronting the Dao Yi Sect—don't forget, the Dao Yi Sect has thirty-six peak masters like Hong Zun and his ilk."

"Exactly, the Dao Yi Sect has a full thirty-six peak masters like Hong Zun."

"Earlier, just Hong Zun and his few companions had already thrown Huling into chaos; if we truly faced the Dao Yi Sect head-on, would our Huling have any chance of victory?"

After silently calculating, the answer was obvious—none at all.

So, the Wise Tiger's scheme of using wolves to disturb tigers seemed to become the wisest choice.

"However, this time we absolutely cannot retreat even a bit; even if we suffer losses, we must put full pressure on the Luo Xia Sect, otherwise they will never compromise."

The Wise Tiger added, and the Tyrant Tiger nodded in agreement.

"I naturally understand this."

Seeing the Tyrant Tiger still hesitating, the Wise Tiger continued to persuade.

"Clan Chief, when faced with two harms, choose the lesser; since losses are inevitable, we should definitely pick the side with the smaller loss."

Ultimately, after the Wise Tiger Demon King's persuasion, the Tyrant Tiger agreed to the plan.

Moreover, this time it's not just a show; we truly need to apply enough pressure on the Luo Xia Sect to force them to go to the Dao Yi Sect and demand people.

One can imagine the cost will not be small, but compared to facing the Dao Yi Sect directly, this is already acceptable.

Having made the decision, the Tyrant Tiger immediately contacted Su Luoxing.

On the other side, Su Luoxing, who had just been released from the Buddha's Land, was personally escorted out of the Buddha's Land by Jue Ming and the other sages of Putuo Temple.

Glaring fiercely at Jue Ming and the others, Su Luoxing gritted his teeth and said.

"Fine, I'll remember this; Putuo Temple, you really are something."

"Sect Master Su, take your leave."

In response, Jue Ming didn't get angry; on the contrary, he replied with a smile.

"Hmph, Qi Xiong, you wait for me—I, Su Luoxing, won't just let this go."

After cursing Qi Xiong again, he was about to turn and leave when the Formation Disk of Projection suddenly lit up; without thinking, he answered it, saw it was the Tyrant Tiger, and Su Luoxing asked in an annoyed tone.

"Anything?"

I was already in a bad mood, and I don't even want to deal with these tiger folk.

But as soon as Ba Hu opened his mouth, Su Luoxing was completely dumbfounded.

All I saw was Ba Hu, face flushed with anger, speaking up.

"Su Luoxing, what does your Luo Xia Sect mean by this? Do you really think my tiger clan is easy to bully? You seized my Moon Tiger Demon King—does your Luo Xia Sect still want to go to war?"

"What crazy talk are you spouting?"

"Hmph, stop putting on an act here. I, the king, give you ten days to return the White Tiger Demon King, the Moon Tiger Demon King, the Xuehu Yaowang, and all the demon beasts of my Huling, or else I will have an endless feud with your Luo Xia Sect."

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I, the king, have limited patience; I'm only giving you ten days. Moreover, don't think that hiding the White Tiger Demon King and the others in the Dao Yi Sect means I won't find out—within ten days you must release them."

"What the hell are you saying?"

"Ten days—if you don't go to the Dao Yi Sect and release the White Tiger Demon King and the others, my tiger clan will formally declare war on your Luo Xia Sect; you figure it out yourself."

Having said that, with a crack, Ba Hu cut off the Formation.

Left alone, Su Luoxing stood bewildered in the wind—what the hell, capturing demon kings? When has our Luo Xia Sect ever seized one of your tiger clan's demon kings?

Moreover, you keep saying 'release the demons' as if it's that simple, constantly harping on the Dao Yi Sect—what exactly do you mean by that?

At first he was stunned, but he quickly came to his senses—'You already knew the White Tiger Demon King and the others were in the Dao Yi Sect's hands, didn't you?'

So why the hell aren't you going to the Dao Yi Sect instead of bothering me? The demons aren't even in my hands—what demons do you want me to release?

His eyes bloodshot, he glared at Jue Ming and the others; seeing this, Jue Ming gave an embarrassed grin.

"This matter has nothing to do with my Putuo Temple."

"Qi Xiong, it's you again."
