#539 - Shifting the blame
The Evil Dragon Clan's President, Xie Nanxing, let out a shrill roar, his voice filled with unwillingness and rage: "You've infuriated me! Li Chengfeng, you just wait, our true Evil King is about to descend, and when he does, we will capture you alive and study your secrets!"
The Fire Demon Clan's Supreme Elder, Huo Yu, was trembling with anger, the elite of their Fire Demon Clan had suffered heavy losses, especially their proud Fire Hawk Legion, which was completely wiped out in this battle.
The other Demon Clans were the same, this battle was undoubtedly a disastrous defeat for them.
The Myriad Poison Clan's Supreme Elder, Du Yao, gritted his teeth, his tone full of indignation and helplessness: "This time, we really never dreamed that Li Chengfeng, that bastard, would use such insidious and vicious tricks.
He deliberately spread false information, making us believe it without a doubt, and now we've ended up in such a state, it's truly heartbreaking."
Everyone's eyes focused on Xie Nanxing, the leader of the Evil Dragon Clan.
The Supreme Elder of the Water Source Clan spoke in a deep voice: "We have suffered heavy losses this time, originally to assist the Evil Dragon Clan in clearing the enemies in the Sea Union Sea Area, but now it seems that for all the sacrifices and losses, the Evil Dragon Clan should give us some compensation."
The Fire Demon Clan's patriarch, Huo Yu, immediately echoed: "What the Water Source Clan's elder says is very true, our Fire Demon Clan suffered the most severe losses in this battle, this compensation is crucial to us."
However, upon hearing this, Xie Nanxing, the President of the Evil Dragon Clan, his eyes instantly turned sharp, he said coldly: "What do you mean by this? Don't you know why you came here?
Our Evil Dragon Clan is naturally grateful for your assistance, but you Demon Clans also came to get a share of this sea area.
Now, we are all in the same predicament, but you are asking my Evil Dragon Clan to bear all the losses alone, isn't this forcing our hand?"
The Fire Demon Clan's Supreme Elder, Huo Yu, his face sank, and his tone became tough: "President, you can't say that.
For this operation, our Fire Demon Clan not only spent millions of mid-grade spirit stones on marching, but also deployed countless formations in the battle, all these costs are huge."
"If we really want to investigate responsibility, then Leng Jiewu, as a traitor of the Fire Demon Clan, colluded with Li Chengfeng, dragging us into that Yin Soldier Borrowing Path space, which led to such heavy losses.
This debt should be resolved internally by the Fire Demon Clan, but it absolutely does not mean that we have to bear all the consequences alone."
As Xie Nanxing, the President of the Evil Dragon Clan, finished speaking, the atmosphere on the scene instantly became tense.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Huo Yu, their eyes full of suspicion and dissatisfaction.
Xie Nanxing, the President of the Evil Dragon Clan, was even more furious, he roared: "Huo Yu! How dare you shirk responsibility like this!
If it weren't for the traitors within your Fire Demon Clan, how could we have fallen into such a desperate situation? This debt, my Evil Dragon Clan will never let it go easily!"
The Fire Demon Clan's Supreme Elder, Huo Yu, was rendered speechless by a series of accusations, he knew that he could not completely shirk responsibility.
Leng Jiewu's betrayal was undoubtedly one of the key factors in the failure of this operation.
His clenched fists trembled slightly, his aura erupted, and he roared angrily: "Leng Jiewu, I swear to capture you, crush your bones and scatter your ashes, and leave not a single member of your nine generations of family! I will return to the Fire Demon Clan now and wipe them out in one fell swoop!"
However, Xie Nanxing, the leader of the Evil Dragon Clan, quickly stopped him, his voice cold: "Wait! Don't even think about leaving until this matter is clarified.
The losses this time are so great, largely due to the negligence of your Fire Demon Clan.
We built the great formation together, and everyone shared the resources, so why should we be the unlucky ones in the end?"
The other Demon Clans also echoed, accusing the Fire Demon Clan of bringing disastrous consequences, their men suffered heavy losses, and countless high-level cultivators were killed or injured, such losses were unprecedented, making them feel extremely aggrieved.
Huo Yu's tone trembled, trying to defend himself: "We are allies, and I don't want this to happen either.
This is all Li Chengfeng's conspiracy, how can you blame it all on me?
I swear, after catching Li Chengfeng, I won't take any of the treasures and resources on him, is that okay?"
The Myriad Poison Clan's Supreme Elder, Du Yao, sneered, mocking: "Who believes the empty check you're writing?
This is just drawing us a big pie, and we can't see any hope at all.
If we could catch Li Chengfeng now, you probably wouldn't say that.
Now, we must calculate the losses, and the Fire Demon Clan must pay according to the rules, otherwise, you can forget about leaving this place."
Xie Nanxing, the President of the Evil Dragon Clan, also decisively stated: "Yes, this matter must be clarified before you can leave.
We will find a way to catch Li Chengfeng, that dog thief, but before that, you must bear your due responsibility."
Huo Yu, the Supreme Elder of the Fire Demon Clan, his face twisted, his eyes full of disbelief and deep helplessness.
He finally gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, it's terrifying to think about, Li Chengfeng's main force has not come here, their destination, I'm afraid, is directly pointing to the hinterland of my Fire Demon Clan.
This time, our clan came out in full force, falling right into Leng Jiewu's treacherous scheme, he actually calculated me like this!
Within the Fire Demon Clan, I'm afraid it's already empty, Li Chengfeng's iron hooves are quietly approaching, wanting to destroy my clan's foundation."
Xie Nanxing, the President of the Evil Dragon Clan, his purple eyes narrowed slightly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, sneering: "Hmph, Elder Huo Yu is too worried.
In my opinion, Li Chengfeng will never easily set foot in your Fire Demon Clan.
Think about it, the eyes and ears we have spread along the way, have we ever captured the slightest clue of a large army advancing west?
How can hundreds of thousands of soldiers travel tens of thousands of miles silently?
What's more, if he takes a shortcut through the ocean to the far north, it's a shortcut, but if he turns to the far west, he needs to cross many obstacles, whether soaring through the sky or setting foot on land.
How can such a large march not leave a trace? I assert that Li Chengfeng is still hiding under the ice at this moment.
Setting up a maze is intended to lure the enemy in, and then give us a fatal blow unexpectedly. At that time, the one who suffers will probably be my Evil Dragon Clan."
As soon as these words came out, they unexpectedly won the resonance of everyone present, and they couldn't help nodding, secretly pondering Li Chengfeng's next chess move.
However, how Li Chengfeng was able to cross thousands of mountains and rivers silently and attack the heart of the enemy was still a mystery that was difficult for everyone to unravel.
After all, it is understandable to take a shortcut through the ice layer from the far north, but the road to the far west must pass through the Xuan Guang Continent, how can such a large-scale military operation be carried out without leaving a trace?
Elder Huo Yu and the other Supreme Elders of the Fire Demon Clan were as anxious as oil on a raging fire, worried about the safety of the Fire Demon Clan, but also restrained by reason, unwilling to easily believe in the miracle that was almost impossible to happen.
However, Li Chengfeng's past treacherous methods made them have to remain vigilant, fearing that a negligence would plunge the Fire Demon Clan into an irreversible situation.
Just as everyone's thoughts were in chaos, the void in front suddenly trembled.
An indescribable wave suddenly erupted, and above the altar, a majestic dragon might loomed, spreading out like a substance, instantly covering the entire far north.
The strength of this force caused all the low-level cultivators to tremble, involuntarily kneeling on the ground, worshiping, as if facing the supreme existence in the world.
