Chapter 396
The situation in Nanling became complicated. Gu Chen's group was much more cautious. After a while, they finally arrived outside the ape tribe.
The ape tribe's lifestyle was somewhat similar to that of humans, but much more ancient. In front of Gu Chen's group was a huge village.
The ape tribe imitated humans in their tribe. They built villages of various sizes near mountains and rivers. It was full of life.
When they landed, they could see apes, gorillas, and even baboons of various sizes.
When the white ape arrived, it became inexplicably excited, perhaps because it had seen too many of its own kind. With a swing of its tail, it plunged into the vast forest.
Gu Chen ignored it. To put it bluntly, this might be its home. Letting it wander around might remind it of its childhood memories.
Gu Chen and the others walked to the tribe's entrance. Two black gorillas were guarding there, checking the demons entering and exiting.
There was indeed a special meeting today. Gu Chen spread out his divine perception and sensed a towering demonic aura in the tribe. He did not know how many powerful demons had gathered.
"Greetings, honey badger demon king."
When the two gorillas saw Gu Chen, they bowed to him. They immediately recognized him as the king of the honey badgers and did not stop him.
The ghost king, Lu Yichen, and the others followed behind him and smoothly entered the tribe.
When they entered, the two gorillas were puzzled and muttered softly. "That's strange. When did the honey badger demon king take in other demons as followers? Those guys are all from the Five Elements Tribe. They seem to be very powerful. "
When Gu Chen and the others entered the tribe, they immediately saw experts from various demon clans.
The six major tribes — the ape tribe, the flood dragon tribe, the phoenix tribe, the tiger tribe, the armor tribe, and the Five Elements Demon Clan — had all gathered. In addition, various small demon clans with influence had also sent people.
The honey badger demon clan was not one of the six major tribes. Because they had always had few members, they could not even be called a tribe.
However, this tribe was extremely famous. Although they had few members, their combat strength was astonishing. Therefore, the other clans did not dare to underestimate them.
As soon as Gu Chen arrived at the tribe, he became the focus of the demons' attention. He secretly regretted disguising as the honey badger demon king.
He could sense that there were many Demon Kings present, and the leaders of the various races were Demon Sages.
The South Mountains Demon Race was indeed strong. Some of the tribes were not inferior to the Glory Sects of the Middle Earth.
"Looks like all the people from the big tribes are here."
On the square, an old monkey walked over with a walking stick. When the demons from the various tribes saw him, they all revealed looks of respect.
"Greetings, High Priest."
Everyone saluted. Gu Chen and the others followed suit to avoid being seen through.
"There's no need to stand on ceremony."
The High Priest waved his hand, walked to the center of the square, and coughed twice.
"I'm sure everyone has heard the news and understood why this meeting is being held today."
His voice was extremely old, and his body was thin and shriveled, but his eyes shone with wisdom.
Gu Chen tried to probe the High Priest of the Ape Clan with his Spiritual Consciousness and found that the other party's cultivation was unfathomable.
In fact, when he used his Spiritual Consciousness to probe the High Priest, the High Priest actually glanced at him, as though he had sensed it. This shocked him.
"Recently, the situation in the continent has been unpredictable. There has been a huge change in the Middle Earth's imperial court. There have been rumors that the new Human Race Emperor intends to suppress our South Mountains Demon Race."
"This matter concerns the reproduction of our race, so it is necessary to discuss it. Also, half a year ago, Jinming and the rest ran into the Demon God Ancient Land to cause a ruckus. They have yet to come out. This matter has to be resolved. "
As soon as the High Priest opened his mouth, he mentioned the two topics to be discussed in today's meeting, which surprised Gu Chen secretly.
Sun Jinming ran into the Demon God Ancient Land?
This meant that he wouldn't be able to see him in the Ape Clan. This wasn't a good thing. He was hoping that the High Priest could speak up for him.
As for the first topic, it was to his liking. It seemed like the demons were going to discuss how to deal with Huangfu Wuji.
"Gu Daozi, the situation doesn't look good. It seems like all the major demon races have come for such an important meeting. Perhaps the real Honey Badger Demon King will be here soon."
"You and I aren't demons, but we managed to sneak into their important meeting. If we're discovered, we will be seen as enemies and misunderstand our intentions."
The Ghost King transmitted his Spiritual Consciousness.
"I understand, but it's not easy for us to escape now. Let's take it one step at a time."
Gu Chen's eyes flickered as he transmitted his Spiritual Consciousness.
"High Priest, I heard that the Ape Clan captured a human spy a few days ago. Is this true?"
The Flood Dragon Demon Sage asked the moment the meeting started.
"It's true. The other party is from the Underworld God Palace. He committed suicide the moment we captured him. We didn't get his intentions out of him."
The High Priest said indifferently.
"Hmph, there's no need to ask to know what he's here for. He came all the way to the South Mountains to understand the situation of our demon race. From this point, it's highly likely that the dog emperor of the Middle Lands wants to deal with our South Mountains demon race. There's nothing to discuss about this. If they want a war, let's fight! "
The Flood Dragon Demon Sage spoke. Many demons agreed with his words.
"That's right. Huangfu Qingming nearly killed Jinming previously. It's because of this that Jinming was agitated and brought his sworn brothers into the Demon God Ancient Land."
"They are all geniuses of our demon race, the hope of the future. Now, their fates are unknown! This matter must be blamed on the Huangfu Clan! "
"The humans are too ambitious. Since they want to swallow our South Mountains, we might as well launch a beast horde and attack the nine provinces!"
Many of the demon races were not afraid of trouble. At this moment, they were all ferocious and hostile towards the humans.
This made Lu Yichen, Zhao Rou, and the others inexplicably nervous. Some of the demon race's hostility towards the Huangfu Clan had risen to the level of hostility towards the entire human race. Under such circumstances, it would not be easy to form an alliance. If they were discovered, they might even be treated as spies!
"Everyone, calm down. Once we start a war with the humans, our South Mountains demon race will face great losses. Moreover, to put it bluntly, our chances of winning this war are extremely low!"
The Five Elements Tribe's Demon Sage's voice was thunderous. His words silenced the crowd.
He said what many of the Demon Race already knew but were unwilling to admit.
"Huangfu Wuji has already destroyed the Middle Lands royal family and the Celestial Court. He has the Kunlun Thearch Sword and Kunlun Mirror in his hands. Although our South Mountains demon race is strong, how much stronger can we be compared to the Middle Lands royal family and the Celestial Court? "
"Moreover, according to the information from the Honey Badger Demon Sage, the Underworld God Palace has already obtained the legendary Armament King Armory. This is one disaster after another for us."
At this point, all the demons looked towards Gu Chen. Many of them were displeased.
