Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 173 The Three Kings' Reaction
However, theoretical strength is just theoretical strength. Not to mention the Wolf Tribe, which has unified the power of fifteen demon clans, it already possesses the ability to fight two against one.

Just take the Azure Wolf King, the great demon of the wolf tribe who possesses the Azure Cauldron, for example; he is simply too powerful.

They completely overwhelmed the Eagle Tribe and the Snake Tribe.

This left the Eagle King completely without any confidence.

"The Wolf Tribe has actually destroyed Fox Ear City. This has completely crossed the line. We must launch the strongest protest against the Wolf Tribe and demand an explanation from them, or we will wage war!" The Eagle King said after a moment of silence.

If it weren't for having no other choice, it really wouldn't want to go to war with the wolf tribe.

Because the probability of defeat is over 70%!

But it couldn't ignore the destruction of Fox Ear City.

Although Fox Ear City is not a city of the Eagle Tribe, it is a city of the Fox Tribe, which is subordinate to the Eagle Tribe.

If the Eagle tribe ignores this, not only will the Fox tribe become disloyal to the Eagle tribe, but other generals will also feel a sense of loss and sympathy.

That demonic heart is out of the question.

But once the demon's heart is scattered, the team will be much harder to lead.

Therefore, regardless of the circumstances, the Eagle Division must respond to this!

There needs to be at least a way out for someone to back down!

"Yes, I will immediately send a letter to the Wolf Tribe, demanding an explanation and compensation for this matter!"
"At the same time, I will also order the army to assemble and be ready for war at any time!" the Eagle Commander said in a deep voice.

Snake Department, Black Snake Valley.

Surrounded by mountains, the valley entrance is hidden by huge rocks and dense thickets of thorns, making it difficult to find unless you look for it.

The cliffs above the valley entrance resemble the sharp teeth of a giant beast, pointing menacingly towards the sky, as if warning any rash intruders.

A winding path extends from the mouth of the valley, its surface covered with gravel and dry branches, as if no one or any creature had walked on it for a long time.

On both sides of the valley entrance, there are some strangely shaped trees with twisted trunks and intertwined branches and leaves, forming a dark shady area where sunlight can hardly penetrate, making the valley entrance appear even more gloomy.

In the deepest part of the Xuan Snake Valley, behind a stalactite curtain that has hung for thousands of years, lies the Xuan Snake King, a great demon of the snake tribe.

Its hundred-meter-long body resembled a black mountain range. Its scales gleamed with a cold metallic luster under the eerie blue fluorescence seeping from the cave ceiling. Each scale was like a polished obsidian, with dark purple poison crystals condensed at its edges. As it rose and fell gently with its breath, it cast distorted shadows on the ground, writhing as if it were alive.

The giant snake's head rested on its coiled, spiraling body. Its triangular head was as big as a millstone, and its vertical pupils were like emeralds embedded in the darkness. As its gaze moved, it seemed as if stars were flickering. When it occasionally opened its eyes, the light it cast across the cave walls could instantly wither the fluorescent moss clinging to them.

As it flicked its tongue, it produced not the hissing sound of an ordinary snake, but a low growl like the sound of a bellows being pulled in the abyss. With each breath, it stirred up a sweet and pungent gust of air, turning the water droplets dripping from the cave ceiling into a dark green color, which then gathered on the ground to form a bubbling pool of poison.

Its trunk was wrapped around an ancient black iron tree that had been dead for ten thousand years at the bottom of the valley. The gnarled roots were pressed by the giant snake and oozed black sap. The snake scales on the trunk were so deep that the bone was visible, but they were corroded into dust in a moment by the oozing snake saliva.

Standing beside the coiled body of the black serpent was a snake demon, half-human and half-snake.

Her upper body was a slender human figure with skin like the finest mutton fat jade, gleaming with a cold white luster under the eerie blue fluorescence. Her long, black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, adorned with several scarlet, snake-eye-shaped gems that spun gently with her breath, radiating an eerie light.

Below the waist is the snake's tail, covered with fine silver scales that shimmer with a faint iridescence in the light. Crystalline venom condenses at the forked tip of the tail, and each slight sway leaves a charred mark on the ground.

She was dressed in clothing formed from a high-level demonic artifact. Her upper body was covered by a tight-fitting black leather breastplate, embroidered with intricate serpentine patterns in mithril thread. The edge of the breastplate was inlaid with a ring of dark red gemstones, with faint traces of blood flowing within them.

Its lower body, a snake tail, is covered with a layer of scales made from a mixture of black iron and snake scales. Each scale is meticulously polished, shimmering with a cold metallic luster. The scales are connected by tough demonic vines, ensuring both flexibility and strong protection.

Most striking was the cloak she wore over her shoulders, woven from countless tiny snake fangs, each emitting a chilling blue light. The cloak swayed gently behind her, twisting and swirling as if it were alive.

She bowed slightly, standing respectfully beside the black serpent, her hands clasped in front of her, her fingers adorned with several uniquely shaped rings, each inlaid with a different colored demon core, radiating a powerful demonic aura.

She is the chief steward of the snake department.

The leaders of the three major royal tribes of the Izumo demon clan are naturally the great demons of their respective tribes.

However, the Great Demon was only the nominal leader; the actual affairs of the three great kingdoms were handled by the respective tribal chiefs.

The steward doesn't often bother the Great Demon; he only comes to report to the Great Demon when there are particularly important issues.

The chief steward of the Serpent Tribe came today, just like the great demon of the Eagle Tribe, to report to the Black Serpent King about the destruction of Fox Ear City.

"Fox Ear City has really been destroyed? Is it certain that the Wolf Tribe was responsible? What was the Eagle Tribe's reaction? Did they declare war on the Wolf Tribe?" King Xuan Snake asked cautiously and expectantly.

It had no choice but to be cautious, as the Snake Clan was the weakest of the three major royal clans of the Izumo Demon Clan.

Let alone the Wolf Tribe, they couldn't afford to offend even the Eagle Tribe.

This is not only because the Eagle Tribe now has ten generals under its command, and the Snake Tribe has eight generals under its command.

I thought the Eagle Clan was the nemesis of the Snake Clan. In battle, the Eagle Clan naturally countered the Snake Clan. Even if the two were equal in strength on paper, the Snake Clan would still be no match for the Eagle Clan.

The setup of the three royal families of the Izumo demon clan is actually quite interesting.

The Eagle Tribe is dominant over the Snake Tribe, the Snake Tribe is dominant over the Wolf Tribe, and the Wolf Tribe is dominant over the Eagle Tribe.

They are inherently in a relationship of mutual checks and balances.

If it weren't for the Azure Wolf King refining the Azure State Cauldron, their mutually restraining relationship might have continued indefinitely!
Emotionally speaking, the Black Serpent King was really looking forward to the war between the Wolf Tribe and the Eagle Tribe.

Only by getting the eldest and second eldest brothers to fight can he, the third eldest, have a chance to fish in troubled waters.

If development continues under the current peaceful conditions, the gap will only widen.

This will cause the snake to die a slow death!

However, the words of the Serpent Chieftain dashed the Black Serpent King's hopes.

The Snake Chief shook his head and said, "The Eagle Tribe did not declare war on the Wolf Tribe, but instead sent an envoy to lodge a strong protest with the Wolf Tribe and demand an explanation from them!"

"No war has started..." The Black Serpent King looked disappointed, but there was no surprise on his face.

After all, this is the normal situation.

He and the Eagle King had been in contact for hundreds of years and knew each other's temperament very well.

I know that the other person is not the impulsive type.

It would be normal if this didn't lead to war; it would be abnormal if war broke out.

The Eagle King's demand for an explanation from the Wolf Tribe was merely a way to save face! "Since that's the case, let's wait for the Wolf Tribe's response. It seems unlikely a fight will break out, so let everyone continue with what they were doing!" the Serpent King said in a deep voice.

The chief steward of the Snake Division replied in a deep voice, "Yes!"

Wolf Clan, Azure Wolf Palace.

Perched atop a cliff deep within the Cangmang Mountains, the entire palace appears to have grown out of the rock, constructed from thousands of dark blue stones, with a ghostly green glow seeping through the crevices, like the gleaming eyes of a pack of wolves in the dark night.

The palace walls are not a smooth brick and stone structure, but are deliberately carved into ferocious wolf head reliefs. Hundreds of wolf heads roar with their mouths open, and their exposed fangs are as tall as half a person. The wind, frost, rain and snow have etched mottled marks on their faces, but this only makes the murderous aura even more chilling.

Stepping through the palace gate supported by two giant wolf bones, one is greeted by the Wolf Fang Square, which covers an area of ​​hundreds of feet.

The ground was paved with irregular bluish-black stone slabs, each one polished as if it had been sculpted by wolf claws, giving it a rough texture when stepped on.

In the center of the square stands a three-zhang-tall wolf soul totem pole, with nine gray wolves cast from black iron wrapped around its body. Their front paws are tearing at each other, and their mouths are wide open as if they want to devour the sky.

A wolf's eye magic crystal, burning with eerie green flames, is embedded at the top of the totem pole, emanating a bone-chilling cold day and night.

Twenty-four wolf-shaped lampstands are arranged on both sides of the square. The lampstands are supported by stone carvings of wolf heads and human bodies. The flames burning in the lamps are not ordinary fire, but Netherworld Fire refined from the blood essence of ten thousand beasts. The flames have an eerie blue color and make a sound like the howling of wolves when they sway in the wind.

Crossing the plaza leads to the heart of the Azure Wolf Palace, the Howling Wind Main Hall.

The palace gates are two massive doors forged from millennia-old cold iron, each shaped like a wolf's head. The doors are decorated with patterns of a pack of wolves charging forward, and the eyes of each wolf are filled with bloodthirsty madness.

The interior of the hall is over ten zhang high, and the dome is shaped like an inverted wolf's tooth, with countless chains woven from wolf sinews hanging down.

Dried animal head specimens, ranging from tigers to bears, hang from the ends of the chains, each with its empty eye sockets, showcasing the wolf clan's formidable achievements.

In the center of the main hall is a passageway paved with wolf bones, leading directly to the wolf king's throne on the high platform.

The throne was shaped like a crouching giant wolf, its body carved from millennia-old ice, emanating a chilling aura.

A man sat on the throne, his long, dark blue hair standing upright like a wolf's mane, bound with black iron wolf claws. A few strands of hair fell beside his angular face. His skin was a cold blue color that had been imbued with demonic power for many years. A scar on his right eye, extending from his brow bone to his jaw, was a battle mark left from his early battle with a giant bear. At this moment, it was emitting a faint blue light with his breath.

It is the great demon of the wolf tribe, the Azure Wolf King!
Ordinary demons born from the cultivation of demon-transformation techniques by humans can never break through the limits of ordinary demons and reach the realm of great demons in their lifetime.

Only ordinary demons who have awakened their intelligence have the potential to become great demons.

Great demons at the Demon King level can only maintain the form of demon beasts.

Only after reaching the realm of a demon god can one transform into human form.

The demon race that takes human form is weakened in combat power, since they are not very familiar with fighting in human form compared to their natural bodies.

However, his cultivation speed has been greatly enhanced.

Because humans are the protagonists of heaven and earth, and are born with the Dao body, they have a unique advantage in cultivation.

Otherwise, the human race would not be able to absorb the powerful genes of the witch and demon races and obtain extraordinary power with their weak bodies!

Therefore, the traditional path to advancement for demons is actually to gradually transform into human form.

As for the so-called demon-transformation technique, it is nothing more than a method devised by the demon race to specifically disgust and target the human race.

The Blue Wolf King has not reached the realm of a demon god, so theoretically it is impossible for him to transform into human form.

However, he refined the Qingzhou Cauldron, which granted him the ability to transform into human form.

Thus, his cultivation progressed rapidly, gradually widening the gap between him and the Divine Eagle King and the Black Serpent King.

"Fox Ear City has been destroyed? Did we do this?"

After listening to the report from the chief steward of the wolf tribe, the Blue Wolf King asked a question.

The Wolf Tribe's chief steward shook his head and said, "I don't know, it shouldn't be, but we can't rule out that possibility."

Although I never gave the order to destroy Foxear City, those little brats below might very well act on their own.

The organizational structure of the demon race is still at the level of a tribal alliance.

Despite the presence of extraordinary power, the internal control of this organizational structure remains quite weak.

It is far inferior not only to the national systems of the modern world, but also to the various forces within the Kyushu Barrier.

In the past, the wolf tribe's constant raids on the fox tribe's villages were not actually ordered by the wolf tribe's higher-ups, but were mostly the actions of the lower-level wolf tribe villages on their own.

Of course, cities are far more powerful than villages.

It usually requires a high-level organization.

However, the situation in Fox Ear City is somewhat special.

Because the Fox Clan is so easily countered by the Wolf Clan, the two demon clans of the same level can almost fight one against five.

Therefore, although a single wolf village cannot conquer Fox Ear City, if seven or eight wolf villages join forces, they may be able to conquer it.

Normally, only when more than ten wolf tribe villages join forces to launch an attack is it necessary for high-level organizations to take action.

Therefore, the Wolf Clan Chief couldn't be sure whether this was actually done by their Wolf Clan!

"I need at least a month to find out whether we were the ones who did this," the Wolf Tribe Chief said with a grim face.

This is already the fastest speed. For a faction still in the state of a tribal alliance, it is not an easy task to find out the truth.

But the Blue Wolf King said casually, "One month? No, I'll give you three months. Go and investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Three months from now, whatever you find out, I hope the result is that this was all a charade orchestrated by the Eagle Division!

"Hmm? Your Majesty means..." the Wolf Tribe Chief Steward asked in astonishment.

The Azure Wolf King sneered, "I have completely refined the Azure State Cauldron, and my strength has broken through once again."

Even if the Divine Eagle King and the Black Serpent King joined forces, they would still be no match for me!
Five hundred years ago, the Demon Master placed us on Izumo Island so that we could keep each other in check.

But Heaven did not abandon me, and I obtained the Qingzhou Cauldron!

"Now is the time to end the chaos on Izumo Island, unify the island, and break through to the position of Demon God!"
