1870 Lowering Their Heads (1/2)
In the Divine Ox Castle, after the Ox Chieftain learned that Devilox was killed, a terrifying might gushed forth from him. He immediately summoned the heavenly deity who was escorting Devilox back. Low rumbling roars emitted from his mouth as his body suddenly expanded, becoming extremely gigantic. Behind this large body, an even more towering phantom of a Kui Ox manifested, as a baleful aura engulfed the entire Divine Ox Castle.
Those who came here for the wedding banquet were all stunned as they stared at the enraged Ox Chieftain. Before this, when Luoshen Chuan and the five demon sovereigns listed their conditions, the Ox Chieftain wasn't even so angered. But now, he seemed to be completely infuriated.
”Luoshen Chuan, you actually sent people to kill Devilox.” The Ox Chieftain's voice boomed like thunder, causing the hearts of countless people to tremble. Their eardrums were about to explode from the intensity of the volume and it was extremely unbearable. When they stared at the Ox Chieftain, they could clearly sense his palpable anger. The Ox Chieftain transformed into a true demon god, unleashing his fury.
Devilox was actually killed by someone.
Devilox was a supreme character of the younger generation who inherited the power of the dao bone. That was the ultimate treasure of their Divine Ox Clan, no one could touch him. By killing him, it was undoubtedly challenging the bottom line of the Divine Ox Clan. No wonder the Ox Chieftain would be so enraged.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”In this case, when I sent people to receive Luoshen Meng, your Divine Ox Clan actually refused?” Luoshen Chuan coldly spoke. His form also turned gigantic, growing to the same size as the Ox Chieftain while he radiated an intense pressure, like a true master of ten thousand demons. When countless demonic beasts here felt the power of his bloodline, they had the thought to kneel and submit to Luoshen Chuan. Luoshen Chuan's bloodline was something all the demons in the Desolate Region wanted. This was also the reason why the Divine Ox Clan wanted to marry a maiden from the Luoshen Clan. They wanted to plunder the Luoshen Bloodline.
”I've already announced that Luoshen Meng has left the Luoshen Clan and belonged to my faction. Your Divine Ox Clan actually still dared to forcibly abduct her? Did you even put me in your eyes?” Luoshen Chuan's voice turned cold as heavenly might shook the entire area. So what even if Devilox died? He only died because your Divine Ox Clan didn't follow my instructions. Although all these could be anticipated, but in a confrontation between heavenly deities, how can one show that their presence is weaker? Not only you, the Ox Chieftain of the Divine Ox Clan can fly into a rage. I can do the same as well.
The Ox Chieftain didn't completely lose his rational. He knew that if they started a war in the Divine Ox Clan, based on their current power, they didn't occupy any advantage. Also, the battlefield was in the Divine Ox Clan. If a deity-level battle erupted here, all his clansmen would definitely die from the aftershocks. Once a war started, he was sure that Luoshen Chuan and the demon sovereigns would surely show no mercy.
The Ox Chieftain stared fixedly at Luoshen Chuan. The Luoshen Clan's bloodline had the power to nurture divinity. They could summon demonic beasts that were subservient to them. In addition to Luoshen Chuan's strength, if the Ox Chieftain chose to fight, he wouldn't enjoy any advantages at all.
”I can agree to your condition and no longer pursue the matter about Luoshen Meng. Also, I can release the enslaved demonic beasts. However, you have to give me Devilox's corpse.” The Divine Ox Chieftain spoke. As the sound of his voice faded, countless people were stunned. The Ox Chieftain actually chose to lower his head? Seems like Devilox's corpse was more important to him than everything else. Even if the Divine Ox Clan was humiliated, he wanted to get Devilox's corpse back first.
Everyone in the Desolate Region knew that Devilox had an inherited dao bone in his body. Also, those who read ancient records all knew that the origin of this dao bone, belonged to the Battle Saint Tribe. Once, the Battle Saint Tribe depended on the power of their ancestral dao bone to stand at the peak of the Desolate Region and has always dominated the Divine Ox Clan, even forcing the Divine Ox Clan to migrate and flee to evade a calamity. It was only until the Divine Ox Clan seized the Battle Saint Bone did the Battle Saint Tribe lose their most important inheritance and begin to decline.
The ancient records stated that the Battle Saint Bone was way too important to the Battle Saint Tribe. With the Battle Saint Bone, the bloodlines of the descendants would all receive an upgrade, gaining the inherited power of the Battle Saint Bone. It wasn't something an ordinary dao bone could be compared to. If not, the Battle Saint Tribe wouldn't have declined so badly the moment they lost the Battle Saint Bone.
Now, this supreme dao bone was with the Divine Ox Clan. Although its effect was already weakened through the passage of time, the Divine Ox Clan still treated it like an ultimate treasure. And now, although the Divine Ox Clan was humiliated, the Ox Chieftain had to choose to compromise, getting the dao bone back at any cost.
”Not pursue the matter about Luoshen Meng? I still have not yet brought up the topic of me pursuing what your Divine Ox Clan has done.” Luoshen Chuan coldly replied. ”As for releasing the greater demons you enslaved, that is what the five demon sovereigns wanted. What a joke, you actually want to use this to negotiate the conditions? No matter what, the Divine Ox Clan has to agree to this or risk total annihilation today.”
The corpse of Devilox... the Divine Ox Clan still wanted to get back the dao bone?
The Divine Ox Clan humiliated the Luoshen Clan so badly, it wasn't too much for Luoshen Chuan to claim back some interest on this debt, right? In addition, Qin Wentian had volunteered to do this. Qin Wentian told him that the dao bone in Devilox's body was of great use to him. This was why Luoshen Chuan arranged for Luoshen Weng to place Qin Wentian in the escort team.
After he spoke, Luoshen Chuan took out his messaging crystal and pretended to ask some questions. After a few moments, his expression turned heavy and incomparably cold, ”Luoshen Xiao told me that when they were facing against the heavenly deity of your Divine Ox Clan and Luoshen Qiong, Devilox ignored Luoshen Xiao's words and still chose to bring Luoshen Meng and the other maidens back to the Divine Ox Castle. He even forced the escort team of the Luoshen Clan to leave. Now, the locations of Luoshen Meng and the two other maidens are unknown. All this was planned by your Divine Ox Clan, right? Shouldn't your Divine Ox Clan give me a satisfactory reply?”
”You…” The Ox Chieftain howled in rage. Luoshen Chuan actually didn't want to admit that Devilox was killed by his side and even tried to pin the blame on him saying that the Luoshen maidens went missing.
The crowd below was speechless. When heavenly deities schemed, they can truly be shameless enough. They naturally wouldn't believe in Luoshen Chuan's words. Clearly, this was something he instructed his men to do and didn't want to return the dao bone. However, he refused to admit this. So, what does the Divine Ox Clan want to do? If they want a war, Luoshen Chuan would comply with a happy smile.
”Let's war then!” The Ox Chieftain roared in madness. He soared into the air, yet Luoshen Chuan merely coldly glanced at him. Luoshen Chuan icily spoke, ”For those who are innocent, leave immediately. The dao is merciless, don't blame me when the aftershocks of the battle cause the entire Divine Ox Castle to be demolished and buried.”
He continued standing at his original location. He inclined his head and glanced at the Ox Chieftain. The Ox Chieftain wanted to shift the battlefield up in the air? Why would he agreed? When the Divine Ox Clan went to the Luoshen Mountain with the Qin Clan, they weren't so considerate at all.
”Seems like the Divine Ox Clan doesn't intend to release the enslaved demonic beasts at all.” The Kun Sovereign coldly spoke. Abruptly, he reverted to his true form as a bizarre monster with the features of both a leviathan and a giant roc appeared. The wings of this creature blotted out the sky, with a wingspan that spanned ten thousand miles, exuding a tyrannical and imposing aura. A stifling demonic qi engulfed the surroundings. His wings seemed to be the sharpest divine weapon in the world, capable of tearing apart everything. With a gentle flap of his wings, the motion seemed to be extremely slow yet it instantly generated a fearsome storm of destruction.
The Divine Ox Castle was in complete chaos. Countless experts paled. If a deity-level battle really erupted, they would all die helplessly here.
”Chieftain!” Many experts from the Divine Ox Clan stared up at their chieftain as terror appeared on their faces. It wasn't realistic if they said they weren't afraid. Be it humans or demons, before their lives, was pride and prestige important?
