45: The right path in the world is vicissitudes! Follow!

That's another good deed done, truly excellent!

Chen De hadn't expected those Demon Beasts to run so far in such a short amount of time.

Because of this, Chen De still had to put in some effort to moralize all of them.

Chen De only felt that doing a good deed was truly troublesome; to remain anonymous, he still had to clean up the aftermath.

The task is arduous, and the right path in the human world is full of vicissitudes!

At this moment, the ground suddenly began to shake violently.

Chen De turned his head to look at the source of the commotion, and the expression on his face instantly froze.

He saw a group of Crimson Flame Mad Lionss, looking very similar to the one Chen De had killed earlier, rushing from afar.

Chen De was somewhat surprised by this sight. Are the Crimson Flame Mad Lion Clan so efficient?

He had just finished cleaning up, and now he was discovered? Didn't that make his cleanup effort pointless?

Thinking of the Demon Beasts that had willingly sacrificed themselves to keep Chen De's secret, Chen De's eyes reddened.

I've failed you!

I've let down your expectations, you died in vain!

The moment he saw the pack of Crimson Flame Mad Lionss, Chen De couldn't care less about his sadness, sorrow, or guilt; he immediately turned and ran.

The leading Crimson Flame Mad Lions was at least a Demon Spirit Realm existence!

Even if Chen De wanted revenge to comfort the departed souls, he was willing but unable.

However, after running for a while, Chen De's speed gradually slowed down.

Because Chen De discovered that the group of Crimson Flame Mad Lionss didn't seem to be looking for trouble with him.

Their direction of running was different from Chen De's.

It was impossible for them to have lost track of him; not to mention whether they had a dog's nose, they couldn't be blind, could they?

It seemed Chen De's guess was correct; the Crimson Flame Mad Lion Clan was indeed just.

As expected of the rulers of the great forest!

They truly have perspective!

So, Chen De silently forgave their actions in his heart.

Seeing their hurried and flustered appearance, Chen De quietly followed them.

What if something happened to their tribe? He might be able to take advantage of the situation… *cough*… or rather, act heroically.

As for whether he could keep up, it was simple.

Although the leading Crimson Flame Mad Lions was a Demon Spirit Realm, the group following it was not!

No matter how slowly the leader ran, it still had to consider the other Crimson Flame Mad Lionss, right?

And Chen De, relying on his peak Demon Origin Realm speed and Shadow Fiend talent, quickly caught up without being discovered.

Quietly following, Chen De heard those Crimson Flame Mad Lionss seemingly saying something.

Curious, Chen De used his excellent hearing to secretly follow and eavesdrop.

While running, the Crimson Flame Mad Lionss in the back asked the leading Crimson Flame Mad Lions,

"Crimson Heart, why did the Lion King suddenly summon all of us Crimson Flame Mad Lionss outside to return? Did something major happen?"

The Crimson Flame Mad Lions called Crimson Heart explained, "Something major did happen. Do you know about the Vortex Forest near us?"

The Crimson Flame Mad Lions beside him naturally knew and asked if something had happened there. They had always wanted to occupy that place. A mere Silver Scale Rhinoceros Beast was nothing compared to their Crimson Flame Mad Lion Clan.

Crimson Heart continued to explain, "That's right, something big happened in the Vortex Forest.

Some time ago, human martial artists attacked the Vortex Forest, and the Silver Scale Rhinoceros Beast was defeated, so it sought help from the Earth Spirit Magic Tiger Clan.

You know the conditions for seeking help from the Earth Spirit Magic Tiger Clan, and that Silver Scale Rhino King should have known too.

But what happened? That Silver Scale Rhinoceros Beast clearly agreed, but in the end, it didn't offer anything as tribute.

Wasn't that playing with the Earth Spirit Magic Tiger Clan?

They won't care what your reasons are; if the item isn't brought out, it isn't brought out.

The Earth Spirit Magic Tiger Clan's approach to such matters has always been to eradicate them completely."

The surrounding Crimson Flame Mad Lionss nodded upon hearing this, but they didn't think much of it.

Anyone who dared to provoke a clan with a Demon Transformation Realm Demon Beast powerhouse would not be tolerated.

Over the years, many Demon Beast clans had been wiped out by the Earth Spirit Magic Tiger Clan because of this.

This was nothing unusual, let alone a major event.

Chen De, who was following behind, heard this explosive news: the Mystic Rhinoceros Clan was wiped out, and was the Silver Scale Rhino King also...?

With the remaining strength of the Vortex Forest, wouldn't he, Chen De, be able to go back and benefit the Demon Beasts again?

Even a small fly is still meat, Chen De thought, his eyes gleaming.

At this moment, the Crimson Flame Mad Lionss spoke, "Then this isn't a major event!"

"You must be patient and let me finish."

Crimson Heart chastised, and the Crimson Flame Mad Lionss immediately fell silent, then he continued,

"Originally, this matter was quite normal, but the Silver Scale Rhinoceros Beast's behavior was very abnormal.

Somehow, despite being severely wounded, it suddenly recovered completely and its strength greatly increased, killing the two Demon Beasts sent by the Earth Spirit Magic Tiger Clan to exterminate its clan.

You must know, those two were at least Demon Spirit Realm Seventh Stage existences!

Before this, even at its peak, the Silver Scale Rhinoceros Beast would have struggled to face either of them.

But now, it actually slaughtered both of them at once!

I heard it also went mad, killing any Demon Beast it saw!

Some Demon Beasts who fortunately survived said that it kept muttering about 'rat,' 'murderer,' and 'revenge.'"

Hearing this, all the Crimson Flame Mad Lionss, including Chen De, were quite surprised.

To be able to face two Demon Spirit Realm Seventh Stage existences simultaneously and kill them after winning.

It was likely that this Silver Scale Rhinoceros Beast already possessed battle power comparable to a Demon Spirit Realm Eighth Stage.

Even within their Crimson Flame Mad Lion Clan, it would be second only to the Lion King.

Chen De was also startled; if that were the case, he couldn't go back and benefit the Demon Beasts.

And it seemed that the Silver Scale Rhino King must hate him, Chen De, to death!

Since its strength had greatly increased, Chen De felt that he should probably not go back to join the fun for now.

Crimson Heart, who was leading the Crimson Flame Mad Lionss, was also extremely wary of the Silver Scale Rhinoceros Beast,

"So, after receiving this news, the Lion King urgently summoned the Crimson Flame Mad Lionss who were out.

And he sent some Demon Spirit Realm ones to bring them back, lest you encounter the Silver Scale Rhinoceros Beast outside.

After all, our Moon Eclipse Demon Forest is quite close to the Vortex Forest; it might just run over here."

Upon hearing this, the Crimson Flame Mad Lionss all looked panicked.

A Silver Scale Rhinoceros Beast comparable to a Demon Spirit Realm Eighth Stage, and possibly even stronger.

If they were to encounter it, let alone them, any Crimson Flame Mad Lions apart from the Lion King might not survive.

Some Crimson Flame Mad Lionss immediately cowered, shouting, "Then let's run faster! It would be troublesome if we really encountered the Silver Scale Rhinoceros Beast."

Encountering another Demon Spirit Realm Eighth Stage might still give the Lion King some face, but encountering a mad Demon Spirit Realm Eighth Stage would give no one any face!

Crimson Heart glared fiercely at the Crimson Flame Mad Lions who spoke, "Look at your pathetic self!"

Saying that, he scanned the other Crimson Flame Mad Lionss, found their expressions to be similar, and comforted them,

"But you don't need to be afraid. That Demon Transformation Realm of the Earth Spirit Magic Tiger Clan, which is the Earth Spirit Magic Tiger King, was furious upon hearing this news and decided to personally take action to eliminate it.

With a Demon Transformation Realm Demon Beast taking action, that Silver Scale Rhinoceros Beast definitely won't be able to jump around for long. What are you still afraid of?

Bringing you back is just a precaution."

After Crimson Heart's explanation, all the Crimson Flame Mad Lionss immediately relaxed.

With a Demon Transformation Realm taking action, the Silver Scale Rhinoceros Beast was basically dead for sure, and they didn't need to worry too much.

After all, this was the true Earth Spirit Magic Tiger King, not comparable to Tiger Ren, that fake and inferior product.

The atmosphere of the team immediately relaxed a lot.

Chen De also felt much relieved upon hearing this; otherwise, if the Silver Scale Rhino King came looking for him, given his current strength, wouldn't he be in trouble?

However, Chen De also knew that it's better to rely on oneself than others, and that one must be strong oneself; others are ultimately unreliable.

Looking at these Crimson Flame Mad Lionss, he somehow felt that even though the Lion King hadn't broken through to the Demon Transformation Realm, these Crimson Flame Mad Lionss already had some of the tendencies of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf Clan of yesteryear.

However, he didn't think much of it, just dismissing it as an illusion.

Then, suddenly remembering something, he asked, "Do you have any news about that Crimson Flame Mad Lions that didn't come?"

The lions only wanted to return early, so how could they have any news? Not only did they have no information, even if they did, it would still be no news.

So they all replied, "Don't know, no news, no movement. It's always like this, don't worry about it. Let's go quickly; when it finds us gone, it will go back by itself."

Upon hearing this, Crimson Heart also didn't want to waste time for one Crimson Flame Mad Lions, and besides, it was uncertain whether the Silver Scale Rhinoceros Beast would even come to their Moon Eclipse Demon Forest.

Perhaps, the Silver Scale Rhinoceros Beast had already been killed by the Earth Spirit Magic Tiger King by now.

And besides the Silver Scale Rhinoceros Beast, was there any other Demon Beast in the Moon Eclipse Demon Forest that dared to attack a Demon of their Crimson Flame Mad Lion Clan?

That would truly be not wanting to live!

So, without further hesitation, he led the Crimson Flame Mad Lionss behind him to accelerate their return.

Their speed was so fast that some of the Crimson Flame Mad Lionss at the back had trouble keeping up.

After hearing what he wanted to know, Chen De stopped.

The matter of the Silver Scale Rhino King was bad news because it decided to come back for revenge, but fortunately, a Demon Transformation Realm Demon Beast took action, so the Silver Scale Rhino King's evil deeds might not succeed.

There was also good news: for the Crimson Flame Mad Lions that Chen De had slaughtered, no Demon Beasts would come looking for trouble with him over this in the short term.

He didn't want to go to the Crimson Flame Mad Lionss' main camp; the Crimson Flame Mad Lion King was not the Silver Scale Rhino King.

Even for the Silver Scale Rhino King, Chen De wouldn't dare to go to its territory while it was there.

Much less the Crimson Flame Mad Lion King?

If Chen De went, he would definitely be discovered, caught, and crushed to death.

He didn't want to die yet, so he wouldn't go for now; as for later, that's a matter for later.

Moreover, all the Demon Beasts of the Crimson Flame Mad Lionss had run back, didn't that mean...

Chen De hadn't expected the Silver Scale Rhino King to inadvertently do a good deed; truly, you can't judge a Demon by its appearance!
