Chapter 321

A grand carriage, pulled by two lions like demonic beasts, was making its way toward Gold-Iron Demon Territory at this moment of turmoil.

Many demons saw the grand carriage and their faces instantly turned pale because of the dark blue spearhead-like emblem printed on the carriage. The coachman was also clad in luxurious robes. It was a purple skin demon.

Everyone knows in ocean demon dukedom that this dark blue spearhead was the emblem representing the Ocean Demon Tribe, and only the leading clan can use it, not just any common ocean demon clan.

That’s why every iron demon knew something big was about to happen when they saw the carriage and an ocean demon handling it.

They knew if this was just a random order or notice, there wasn’t any need to send an ocean demon envoy here or the ocean duke could’ve summoned the city lord directly.

Yet, the ocean duke didn’t do so and instated sent an envoy, and almost everyone knows about this morning’s huge incident, so it wasn’t a big deal to figure out the reason for this endeavor.

The Iron Demon Tribe’s demons knew the Ocean Duke was going to make his move after they failed to maintain peace and order in his territory.

Currently, the territory of the Golden Iron Demon clan was crowded with many kinds of carriages and every owner of these carriages was demanding to see the city lord Elian.

Every one of these demons was the owner of shops that were looted by Sky Stealer last night, and since they can’t find the thief himself, they naturally come running to Elian for compensation and an explanation.

Even though Elian was strongest in this city but these enrage merchants weren’t afraid in the least bit because first, they simply didn’t care about it after going bankrupt, and second, Elian would never dare to silence them unless he wasn’t afraid of capital punishment and annihilation of his entire tribe.

However, Elian didn’t show his face at all, and they were all encamping there in the morning, refusing to leave. They even started to curse and berated the Iron Demon Tribe, yet no one come to confront them.

The chief residents’ doors were sealed closed while an invisible protective formation was active, which was the only thing that was keeping those enraged demons at bay, or they would’ve started attacking long ago.

This wasn’t the condition for just the Golden Iron Demon Clan, though, because two more groups were encamping outside: Silver Iron Tribe and Bronze Iron Tribe territories!

These three arrogant clans were now cowering behind their turtle shells, refusing to face the common public.

The entire city was in a state of panic right now and if not for city guards keeping things in check, the entire city might’ve turned into a chaotic battlefield. Yet, those guards still can’t stop all those bottom-feeders at once from plundering, and it was happening on a small scale already.

It was the actual face of the demon race which worship power, nothing else!

So, what if you’re a Duke, Marquis, or even a King? As long as you lose the favor of your backer or didn’t have enough strength to keep this statue, you’re done for!

This was exactly what was happening to the Iron Demon City. A Marquis Rank Tribe was on the verge of losing its title just because their backer a Duke lose hope in them and their strength was just subpar to hold this title alone!

At this moment, the ocean demon envoy’s carriage finally entered the territory of the Golden Iron Demon Clan.

Those enraged merchant demons also notice those two three-meter-tall vicious crimson lions coming in their way.

“Th-they’re mature Crimson Fire Lions of Early Fourth Grade!” someone exclaimed with a hint of dread and fervor.

In Mighty Demon Continent, the demonic beasts were graded between the First rank to Eight Ranks and each rank was further divided into Early, intermediate, and late.

These ranks represent eight cultivation realms of golden sky worlds. Simply put, these two Crimson Fire Lions were in Early Fourth Grade, meaning they were between Iron Stage or Bronze Stage of River Core Realm.

However, there were two types of demonic beasts. The first type was the vicious type, which can’t be tamed by just anyone and had any intelligence. They only know how to kill and attacked anyone or anything that came into their view.

The second type was the intelligent type demonic beast. These demonic beasts were intelligent and knew when to advance or retreat, and Beast Tamers also subdue and prefer this type of demonic beast.

These two Crimson Fire Lions were also intelligent type demonic beasts; however, their intelligence wasn’t as high as humanoid beings like humans, demons, or vice versa.

They were just intelligent enough to discriminate between danger and opportunity, or choice between submission or death.

“You idiot, don’t you see that emblem? They’re from Ocean Duke Manor! Make way, let’s see if those shameless Iron Demons still dare to hide in their turtle shell!” someone sneered in a murderous tone.

Everyone quickly made the way to the incoming carriage. They were even afraid those two Crimson Fire Lions would eat them or their mounts, so it was more like they were escaping. Yet, they didn’t leave, as everyone wanted to see what was about to happen.

The ocean demon coachman didn’t even glance at those merchants and impassively looked at the large resident two hundred meters away from the carriage and stopped the two lions. He could tell there was an active formation ahead with his martial sense.

However, it didn’t vex him, nor did it drop the disdain in his blue eyeballs. On the contrary, his eyes turned cold as he speaks using his Qi to amplify his voice at this moment,

“The Left Ocean Spear of Ocean Demon Manor, Lord Henrik Ocean, is here with Ocean Demon Duke Decree! Elian, the chief of Iron Demon Tribe, roll out right now and received the decree!”

His words weren’t polite at all, but no one dared to voice out their thoughts as everyone held their breath when they hear the title ‘Left Ocean Spear’, and a chill run down their spine.

Because Duke Livy had two personal bodyguards and also his closest aids, titled, Left Ocean Spear and Right Ocean Spear, and both of them were in Qi soul realm!

This wasn’t the main reason for these demons to be afraid. They were afraid because they knew whenever an Ocean Spear appeared, there will always be a bloodbath!

Some locals of Iron Demon City nearly fainted from fright when they thought it was over!

Even those enrage merchants find it hard to breathe right now and didn’t dare even look at the carriage with a straight face anymore!

They even wanted to leave, but alas, it was too late now, since the Left Ocean Spear might take it in the wrong way or just kill them because he feels like it.

“Hah… so we’re finally here, and you didn’t even wake me up, little purple?”

At this moment, a lethargic yet powerful voice rang from inside the carriage.

The coachman or little purple broke into a cold sweat and quickly replied, “Milord, we didn’t reach yet because those impudent Iron Demons had activated a defensive formation, which is why I stopped the carriage.”

“Oh? Are they rebelling by blocking us?” The lazy voice asked with a hint of astonishment and also excitement.

Little blue thought for a moment and spoke, “Well, milord, this formation was active before I made contact, so it didn’t seem they’re rebelling… however since they block an ocean envoy way it’s equal to rebelling!”

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat when they heard his words and started to thank demon god since they timely moved from their way!

“Misunderstanding!”

A loud yet timorous voice rang in the area at this moment, and the other could tell the owner this was terror-stricken.

Everyone turned and see, Elian running toward the carriage, with other elders of the golden iron closely following behind with terrified faces.

The formation instantly stopped!

With a plop, Elian quickly kneeled in front of the carriage and said, “My Lord, this is all a misunderstanding! The formation was not active to hinder milord bu…”

Before Elian could explain the lazy voice sounded again with a hint of playfulness, “I don’t care about reason at all, since you block ocean demon envoy this is equal to directly blocking my lord Ocean Duke’s path so… hmm how should I eradicate your clan…”

Everyone from the golden iron clan broke into a cold sweat hearing this playful voice while those demons camping here from morning gloated about their misfortune!

Elian’s face turned aghast and the next moment he banged his head on the solid road and plead, “My Lord, please show mercy, please show mercy!”

The other elders also kowtowed like Elian and plead for mercy!

“Hmph!” A cold harrumph rang at this moment and mountain-like pressure ascend around the area that make everyone suffocate!
