Chapter 2049: There

The Book of Heaven Demon is showing signs of recovery, so they must leave the Wu tribe's territory.

This place is the Wu tribe's encampment, and Xingtian should return soon; as a Great Wu, his power is not to be underestimated, and the Book of Heaven Demon dares not look down on them.

"Let's go!"

"Don't worry about me—I can handle it."

Since the Book of Heaven Demon said so, the Flame Mouse made no further protest—he'd take any chance just to survive.

The demon clans have lost their prestige because of Guiche's incident, so the Wu tribe's morale has soared, but without Xingtian's command, the Wu soldiers have little real strength.

Xingtian's power is immense, second only to the Primordial Wus.

If one of the Twelve Primordial Wus were to perish, Xingtian would surely take his place.

But for now, Xingtian finds this position perfectly suited—he harmonizes well with Jiufeng and Xiangliu, and sitting as a Great Wu suits him just right.

As for the other Xingtians, they didn't think this deeply—they had their own rules in the Primordial Chaos.

The Wu tribe had even more rules; as long as they lived comfortably, how they acted depended entirely on the Twelve Primordial Wus' orders.

Soon, Xingtian learned that demons had entered Wu tribe territory, even approaching the outermost borders of Penglai Immortal Island.

"Who are they?"

"Seems to be some Pre-Saints!"

"Some?"

"Yes, exactly—four demon beings have drawn near the borders of Penglai Immortal Island."

Both Xingtian and Jiufeng were suspicious, wondering what the demons could possibly be planning, and even if they approached Penglai Island, they might not be able to enter.

But the area around them had already been designated off-limits—no one was allowed near, because Luo Fu and the Pillar Xuanwu were located there, and the spiritual energy was exceptionally rich.

The location where the Pillar Xuanwu appeared overlapped with its previous position.

Only then did Xingtian order these Wu soldiers to go and cultivate there.

Whether it helped or not was unknown, but psychologically, it offered some comfort—at least these Wu people were now more diligent.

As long as they cultivated earnestly, anything was possible.

"Then cultivate now—if you can improve, that's all the better."

"Could it be that they…"

"The demon clans couldn't have found out so quickly. If they truly know, there's only one possibility: we have a traitor in the Wu tribe."

"That's impossible. We've already purged all Wu traitors long ago, and the Wu tribe could never harbor traitors like the demon clans—too volatile."

Jiufeng wasn't as confident as Xingtian—he'd seen far too much.

With Qiangliang's help, Jiufeng had closely observed events in the Primordial Chaos.

That's why Jiufeng wanted Xiangliu and Zhurong to assist Spirit Snake Island—if they could extinguish the flames there, it would be a meritorious deed.

As for the rest, Jiufeng no longer cared.
