178: What a waste of space, what's the point of you still being alive?

"Junior Brother Gu, deal with those Saint Realm Experts (Demon Beasts) and collect them as reserve materials."

Putting away the bloodthirsty sword, Night Owl pointed to the dozen or so Saint Realm Experts (Demon Beasts) kneeling nearby and said to Gu Chen.

"Hehe, alright!"

Hearing this, Gu Chen took out the void sword and swung it a dozen times at the kneeling Saint Realm Experts (Demon Beasts).

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

One by one, the Saint Realm Experts (Demon Beasts) had their souls shattered, falling to the ground and turning into massive Demon Beast corpses.

"Giggle, this is another huge haul." After collecting the corpses of the Netherworld Profound Tiger and the dozen or so Saint Realm Experts (Demon Beasts), Gu Chen was overjoyed.

With so many reserves, they could eat well for quite a long time.

"Alright, let's go somewhere else. There are still many Demon Beasts in the Southern Region." Night Owl rolled his eyes at the delighted Gu Chen, then took the lead, rising into the air and flying towards the north side of Fengyun City.

"Three Junior Sisters, let's follow!" Gu Chen called out to Mu Xueqing and the two others, closely following Night Owl.

Seeing Ye Xiao and the four others leave.

Elder Zhao Da in the air immediately withdrew his aura, then slowly disappeared above Fengyun City.

Seeing Ye Xiao and the four others and Elder Zhao Da all leave.

The Lord of Fengyun City and the others watched the direction where the group disappeared, taking a sharp breath as they discussed.

"Which faction do they belong to? They actually have a Great Emperor Expert protecting them?"

"N-no way they are disciples of the Qingtian Sect, right? In our Southern Region, only the Qingtian Sect has Great Emperors."

"Hiss, Qingtian Sect?"

The Lord of Fengyun City and the others looked up at the sky, taking another shocked breath.

Everyone in the Southern Region knew that the Qingtian Sect had Great Emperors, but having a Great Emperor act as a bodyguard for a few disciples—that was ridiculously extravagant.

Could it be that the Qingtian Sect had so many Great Emperors they couldn't fit them all?

"Lord of Fengyun City, stop looking! The Demon Beasts are charging over!!"

While the Lord of Fengyun City and several Saint Realm Experts were still staring at the sky, preparing to figure things out.

The low-level Demon Beasts, who had just been suppressed by Elder Zhao Da's aura, rushed toward the people of Fengyun City once more.

Frightened, some cultivators quickly woke up the still-shocked Lord of Fengyun City and the others.

"Ah! Yes, yes, we'll come help right away!"

Hearing these sounds.

The Lord of Fengyun City and the others also snapped back to reality, quickly joining the battlefield and working together to clear out the low-level Demon Beasts outside Fengyun City.

Before long, they had completely annihilated all these low-level Demon Beasts.

With the demise of the Netherworld Profound Tiger.

The Demon Beasts across the entire Southern Region fell into disarray without a leader and began retreating toward the Demon Beast Forest.

Deep within the Demon Beast Forest.

A group of retreating Saint Realm Experts (Demon Beasts) gathered together.

They prepared to discuss sending someone to the Demon Kingdom to report the reason for the incident.

After all, although the Netherworld Profound Tiger had perished, the Demon Emperor's order to attack the Southern Region was still in effect. If they didn't explain clearly.

Should the Demon Emperor of the Demon Kingdom place the blame on them, all the Demon Beasts in their Southern Region would be annihilated.

Soon, through the selection process of the demons.

A Saint Emperor Peak Elder, whose original form was an Avian Demon, took on this mission.

It transformed into a giant Azure Bird and flew toward the Demon Kingdom across the Endless Sea.

After half a day of traveling, it landed at the gate of the Demon Kingdom.

"Show your Demon Token!!"

The guards at the gate of the Demon Kingdom saw the Elder, who had transformed from the Azure Bird, approach and shouted loudly.

The Elder didn't say much, taking out a Golden Token engraved with many demon clans and handing it to the guards at the gate.

After the inspection was confirmed to be accurate, the guards let the Elder inside.

Inside a Luxurious Grand Hall in the city.

The Azure Bird Elder knelt submissively on the ground and reported to the Middle-aged Man, who was the Golden Flood Dragon sitting in the main seat of the hall.

"Reporting to Lord Demon Emperor, this minor demon is from the Southern Region's demon clan."

"Lord Netherworld Profound Tiger perished while going to kill five Human Saints. We, the demon clan of the Southern Region, are without a leader and most have begun retreating to the Demon Beast Forest. We request Lord Demon Emperor to send reinforcements so that we minor demons can continue attacking the humans."

The Elder knelt on the ground, trembling.

Although this retreat had a reason, it was a retreat nonetheless. If the Demon Emperor decided to blame him, he definitely wouldn't leave the grand hall alive.

If it weren't for the fact that the other demon clans had pooled their resources to give him a Heaven and Earth Treasure capable of helping him break through to Quasi-Emperor, he would never have come.

"Hmph, trash!!"

"A Quasi-Emperor Seventh-level demon was actually killed in the Southern Region. You are all utterly useless."

Hearing this, the Golden Flood Dragon looked extremely furious.

Being bullied by the people of the Central Region was bad enough, but now they couldn't even conquer the Southern Region, this desolate place—it was utterly humiliating.

"Yes, yes, Lord Demon Emperor is right, we minor demons are all trash."

Seeing the Golden Flood Dragon's fury, the Azure Bird Elder quickly kowtowed and begged for forgiveness in terror.

"Hmph, since you know you're trash, why are you still alive!!"

Looking at the Elder's submissive appearance, the Golden Flood Dragon waved a burst of power, instantly obliterating the Elder.

He happened to have a belly full of anger with nowhere to vent, and since the Elder called himself trash, he might as well put the trash to use.

"Big Brother, what has made you so angry?"

As soon as the Elder died.

Another Demon Emperor of the Demon Kingdom, the Youth transformed from the Flame Giant Ape, appeared before the Flood Dragon Demon Emperor and asked.

"Second Brother, you came at the right time. That trash Netherworld Profound Tiger was killed in the Southern Region, and the Southern Region's Beast Tide was forced to stop. Take a trip to the Southern Region and see who is causing trouble."

Seeing the Youth appear, the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor said sternly.

Originally, apart from the Beast Tide in Central Province, these Demon Emperors wouldn't interfere with the Beast Tides in the other regions of the Canglan Continent.

But now that the Netherworld Profound Tiger had perished, he could only send his Second Brother.

After all, the Netherworld Profound Tiger was a Quasi-Emperor Seventh-level demon. If it could fall in the Southern Region, sending other Quasi-Emperor Demon Beasts would be useless.

"Oh? Big Brother, someone in the small Southern Region was actually able to kill the Netherworld Profound Tiger? Did someone from Central Province make a move?" the Youth asked with a curious expression upon hearing this.

He had also been to the Southern Region; there were only two or three Quasi-Emperor First or Second-level ants there, and he wasn't interested in making a move against them.

For the Netherworld Profound Tiger to perish in the Southern Region, he truly couldn't think of any other reason besides someone from Central Province having intervened.

The Flood Dragon Demon Emperor paused, then slowly replied, "I heard it perished while trying to kill five Human Saints. As for whether they are people from Central Province, you go there and wait for an opportunity. If Central Province really sent a Great Emperor to help the Southern Region resist the Beast Tide, then retreat."

In the past, when launching a Beast Tide, as long as the Demon Kingdom didn't send people to the Southern Region, the people of Central Province wouldn't send people to help the Southern Region either.

However, Huyan Zhuo has already become arrogant enough to come to the Demon Clan Kingdom and steal things.

Therefore, it wouldn't be strange for Central Province to send people to help the Southern Region resist the Beast Tide.

Now that the Demon Kingdom's power is weak, if the people of Central Province truly intervene, he will have no choice but to stop the Southern Region's Beast Tide.

"Alright, Big Brother, I will go to the Southern Region right away to investigate." Hearing the Flood Dragon Demon Emperor say this, the Youth nodded and disappeared from the grand hall.
