280: Lion Clan God Child

Demigod Yantian left, returning to the Lion Clan.

Another half-day passed.

Two black dots flew rapidly from the horizon.

They were the Fox Demon Venerable and the Goat Demon Venerable.

"Greetings, Demigod Yutian!" (x2)

"I heard you are hunting a human powerhouse?"

The Goat Demon Venerable dared not hide anything and replied respectfully, "Yes, Demigod Yutian."

"I have been hunting that human powerhouse for years."

"Years?"

No emotion could be heard in Demigod Yutian's voice.

Hearing this, the Goat Demon Venerable immediately explained, "Demigod Yutian, that human has powerful Mental Energy. He detects us before we can even get close, and he has escaped repeatedly. It is very difficult to find an Eighth Realm Expert who wants to hide. This time, thanks to the Blue Fox Demon Venerable, we managed to heavily injure him."

"Only heavily injured?"

Demigod Yutian's tone remained cold.

At this moment, the Blue Fox Demon Venerable smiled and said, "Demigod Yutian, that human powerhouse was struck by my Nine Nether Soul-Piercing strike. Only death awaits him."

The Goat Demon Venerable quickly chimed in, "Exactly. Although that human powerhouse's strength has reached the Peak of the Eighth Realm, he has not yet cultivated a Divine Soul. I have already sent out minor demons for a carpet search. I believe we will find his corpse soon."

Demigod Yutian nodded slightly and said no more.

Seeing this, the Goat Demon Venerable breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "May I ask, Demigod Yutian, why are you here?"

"These two fools allowed a human into my Lion Clan's Forbidden Ground."

The Goat Demon Venerable was shocked. "Was it that human youth?"

The Crane Demon and the Pig Demon had no choice but to nod.

"Demon Venerable, we..."

"Puchi! Puchi!"

The Goat Demon Venerable suddenly struck, and two corpses fell from mid-air.

Demigod Yutian showed no reaction.

The Fox Demon Venerable also said nothing, seemingly accustomed to such sights.

Until their deaths.

The two Great Demon Kings never knew why the Demon Venerable killed them; even the Lion Clan Demigod hadn't blamed them.

The Goat Demon Venerable was actually full of helplessness. These two fools had to be killed. Even if the Demigod didn't say it, no one knew what he was thinking. Ultimately, this was his responsibility, so the Goat Demon Venerable didn't dare to gamble.

Besides, they were just two Great Demon Kings and not of his own clan. If they were killed, so be it... Not long after.

Yantian appeared with three clansmen.

"Greetings, Demigod Yutian!"

Yutian said, "Ge Tian, Xun Tian, Lian Tian—the three of you are the most talented of our Lion Clan's younger generation. You are not even fifty years old, yet you have already entered the Demon King Realm."

"Once you enter the Forbidden Ground this time, Demigod Litian will understand our intentions. I hope you gain something.

Furthermore, be respectful to Demigod Litian. If you see a human, kill him first."

"Yes."

"Ge Tian, take this. If Demigod Litian is still unwilling, give this to him."

Ge Tian nodded and replied, "Yes, Demigod Yutian."

Demigod Yutian added, "The Spirit Devouring Pool is the only exit of the Forbidden Ground; you cannot enter through there."

Then.

Demigod Yutian flew forward several hundred meters.

He stopped at the mountainside.

"It's here."

"The original passage."

Demigod Yutian's Aura shifted, and his gaze became incredibly sharp.

"Open!!"

In mid-air, majestic cosmic energy gathered, transforming into two massive lion claws.

Hualala!

Space seemed to be torn apart, and a passage appeared. A dilapidated palace within the Forbidden Ground could be vaguely seen.

Demigod Yantian waved his hand, sending the three God-Sons into the passage... Inside the Forbidden Ground.

Moo!

With a roar, Gu Yu launched a charge.

"Bang!"

Gu Yu was sent flying by Xiao Weiqing's punch and couldn't get up for a long time.

"Continue tomorrow."

The Lion Demon on the throne still had his eyes closed as he spoke indifferently.

Suddenly.

The Lion Demon sat up straight and looked upward. A passage appeared, and light flickered.

Three Lion Demons flew in, landing steadily on the ground.

Then, the passage disappeared.

"Hmph!"

The Lion Demon gave a cold snort.

The minds of Ge Tian and the other two demons felt as if they had been struck by a heavy hammer. They endured the urge to faint, knelt on the ground, and lowered their heads. "Greetings, Demigod Litian!"

Demigod Litian did not respond and closed his eyes.

"Over there."

The three demons exchanged glances and all saw Xiao Weiqing.

Xiao Weiqing was also startled by this sudden change. Why did three more Lion Demons arrive? Judging by their Aura and strength, they weren't weak—at least much stronger than that Wild Bull demon.

It all happened in a flash.

Xun Tian and Lian Tian rushed forward, forming an encirclement.

Xiao Weiqing's eyes narrowed, and the thousand flame blade appeared in his hand.

He swept out with a single strike.

The two demons dodged easily.

Xun Tian leaped up and stomped down, seemingly wanting to crush Xiao Weiqing into mincemeat.

"Illusionary Light!"

Leaving an afterimage behind, Xiao Weiqing appeared a hundred meters away, his blade blocking Lian Tian's fist.

Bang!

The powerful force caused Xiao Weiqing to retreat slightly.

The two demons were slightly surprised. This human was much stronger than they had imagined, and his Movement Technique was quite good.

"Interesting."

Xun Tian stepped forward again and threw a punch. The air rippled in circles, showing the immense force. Even an ordinary Demon King would be heavily injured if hit.

But.

Xiao Weiqing was no longer the man he used to be.

"Flame True Body!"

He threw a punch in return, the friction against the air igniting flames.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

The two traded blows, and Xun Tian was sent flying backward.

"What?"

Lian Tian was shocked. How was this possible?

A human sent Xun Tian flying with a single punch? You must be joking.

Humans were born with weak bodies. At the same level, they couldn't possibly be a match for the Lion Clan, let alone Xun Tian. The three of them were geniuses at the God-Son level of the Lion Clan, destined to become Demigods in the future.

Xiao Weiqing didn't care about any of that.

The thousand flame blade, wrapped in Samadhi True Fire, whistled through the air as it slashed toward Xun Tian.

"Watch out!"

Lian Tian shouted a warning while striking out with a massive palm print toward Xiao Weiqing.

"Thousand Shadows!"

In an instant.

Twenty Xiao Weiqings appeared in the hall, making it impossible to tell where his true body was.

"Slash!"

Seeing the golden blade approach, enveloped by the Aura of death, Xun Tian couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Suddenly.

A figure blocked Xun Tian—it was Ge Tian.

"Clang!"

This strike didn't hit Xun Tian but was blocked by Ge Tian.

Failing to land the blow, Xiao Weiqing immediately retreated.

While he was considering whether to manifest his Domain to slaughter these three Demon Kings.

Demigod Litian on the throne spoke.

"Stop. Spare their lives."

Hearing this.

Xiao Weiqing looked at Demigod Litian.

"Senior, I respect you, but your three Juniors attacked me without a word..."

"Is it not reasonable?" Demigod Litian asked playfully.

"..."

Xiao Weiqing couldn't argue. It was reasonable, very reasonable.

The Yao Race and the Human Race were inherently irreconcilable, not to mention he had barged into someone else's Forbidden Ground.

"Spare their lives, and I will spare yours. How about it?"

"Are you serious, Senior?"

Demigod Litian said, "I wouldn't stoop to deceiving you."

Xiao Weiqing fell silent. He couldn't trust Demigod Litian's words, but he had no control over his own life right now. He didn't believe that Demigod Litian would let him go just because he spared those three Demon Kings.

But if Litian were to intervene, it would be impossible for Xiao Weiqing to kill those three Demon Kings anyway.

Seemingly seeing through Xiao Weiqing's thoughts.

Demigod Litian added, "Rest assured. I once studied under a human Star Lord, so I will not kill humans lightly."

"What?"

Xiao Weiqing was both shocked and suspicious. He glanced at the three Lion Clan Demon Kings and saw they didn't react strangely. He couldn't help but wonder: could this Lion Clan Demigod be telling the truth?
