Wu Shattered Star River

The three tribes under the Demon Clan acted quickly. They didn't travel through the God-Demon Battlefield but flew directly from the endless void in battleships.

The battleships they rode were top-tier, with speeds comparable to peak-stage Immortal Kings, and it only took them four months to approach the Ancient God Star Region.

The three tribes didn't mobilize a large army because the Ancient God Star Region was surrounded by the Sea of Chaos, which contained too many Divine Sound Gold Mantises. Ordinary soldiers would only die in large numbers.

Therefore, the three tribes only mobilized some powerful individuals, the weakest being at the Venerable level. There were a thousand Venerables, a hundred Kings, and more than ten Emperors.

Although the numbers seemed small, this force was actually very powerful. In particular, the Scorpion Demon Clan's King had extremely strong combat power, comparable to the current Gu Ling Clan's King, Gu Yindan.

However, this force was still much weaker than the overall strength of the Ancient God Star Region. The combined number of Emperors from the Human Clan, Gu Ling Clan, Flower Fairy Clan, and Tatar Clan far exceeded that of the invaders.

The three tribes came to attack this time as a preliminary move, a probing attack to see the reaction from the God Clan and the Heavenly Court's Myriad Buddha Hall. If the three major forces didn't react, the Demon Clan would definitely send more powerful reinforcements.

Inside a huge battleship, a burly man wearing a black robe, with two huge horns on his head and black scales all over his body, sat in the largest cabin.

His pupils were brown, and his eyes were icy cold, making him look extremely terrifying. He turned his gaze to a man in blue armor in front of him and asked, "Have you contacted the Gu Ling Clan, Flower Fairy Clan, and Tatar Clan?"

"Reporting to the Clan King, we have contacted them!"

The man in blue armor replied, "The Flower Fairy Clan and the Tatar Clan gave no response. The Flower Fairy Clan directly expelled our envoy. The Gu Ling Clan seems to be hesitant, and I believe we can increase our offer."

"We can!"

The Scorpion Demon Clan's King pondered for a moment and said, "Send a message saying that this King can represent the Heavenly Demon Cave. After it's done, the entire territory of the Ancient God Star Region will be given to the Gu Ling Clan, as long as they offer some resources every year."

"The Heavenly Demon Cave will not send a single soldier into the Ancient God Star Region, but whenever the Heavenly Demon Cave issues an order, the Gu Ling Clan must send troops to obey."

"This…"

The man in blue armor said, "Clan King, doesn't this need to be reported to the Demon Clan? We don't have this authority, do we?"

"What do you know!"

The Scorpion Demon Clan's King sneered, "As long as the Gu Ling Clan is willing to defect, after we destroy Jiang Henshui and the Flower Fairy Clan and Tatar Clan, can't we turn around and destroy the Gu Ling Clan? The Ancient God Star Region is such a treasure; can't we occupy it?"

"Ah?"

The man in blue armor was stunned, then overjoyed, and said, "Clan King is wise! I think to show sincerity, I can secretly go there once? Go directly to talk to Gu Yindan?"

"You go?"

The Scorpion Demon Clan's King hesitated for a moment, then took out a green bead and said, "Zong Qi, take this Wind-Calming Bead to conceal your movements. Be careful not to be discovered, otherwise, I fear you won't return."

Zong Qi took the green bead, a look of joy on his face, and said, "Thank you, Clan King. I will not fail my mission."

Zong Qi left the cabin, not in a hurry to leave, but refined the Wind-Calming Bead, and then stealthily departed.

More than a dozen battleships continued to sail toward the Ancient God Star Region, slowing down slightly. It took a full dozen days to reach the periphery of the Sea of Chaos.

The Scorpion Demon Clan's King, Zong Zheng, didn't order them to enter directly. More than a dozen battleships lined up and hovered on the periphery. Zong Zheng was waiting for Zong Qi to return and for feedback from the Gu Ling Clan.

On the largest battleship, the Blood Clan's King and the Arrow Clan's King came over and sat with Zong Zheng to wait for news.

The Blood Clan had a very strange appearance. They looked human, but their entire bodies were blurry. They seemed to be covered with a layer of blood, and the blood was still slowly wriggling, making them look very strange.

The Arrow Clan was true to its name, covered in poisonous thorns. Their entire body looked like a ball filled with poisonous thorns.

They had no hands or feet, but they had eyes, noses, and mouths. Their body was a ball of flesh, densely covered with spikes.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

A King-level expert from the Scorpion Demon Clan entered and reported, "Clan King, Blood Clan King, Arrow Clan King, many scouts have been discovered nearby, some from the Ancient God Star Region, some from the God Clan, and some from the Heavenly Court. Also… the Myriad Buddha Hall is suspected of sending scouts. Should we capture these scouts?"

"No need!"

Zong Zheng waved his hand and said, "We are originally the vanguard, here to test the reaction of the other three forces. We want them to know that we are attacking the Ancient God Star Region."

The Blood Clan's King spoke, his voice very hoarse and muffled, as if it came from his stomach. He said, "Send a few Kings over to drive away the scouts, let them watch from afar."

"Yes, sir!"

The Scorpion Demon Clan's King-level expert retreated. The three Clan Kings stopped talking and waited quietly.

This wait lasted five days. Zong Qi finally returned. His figure directly appeared on the battleship, and then he entered the cabin.

Zong Zheng, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, immediately opened them. The blood on the Blood Clan's King's body fluctuated, and the two big eyes on the Arrow Clan's King's flesh ball opened.

Zong Qi was full of joy. After saluting the three powerful individuals, he said, "Clan King, it's settled. However, Gu Yindan needs a Demon Contract from the Heavenly Demon Cave. As long as the Demon Contract clearly states the agreed-upon conditions, they will secretly defect and cooperate with us."

"Demon Contract…"

Zong Zheng looked at the Blood Clan's King and the Arrow Clan's King, feeling a headache. The Demon Contract was actually a decree issued by the Demon Ancestor.

The conditions previously offered were just nonsense from Zong Zheng's mouth. Zong Zheng had no intention of fulfilling them at all.

Now they needed a Demon Contract, which required sending a message back to report to the Demon Ancestor.

Would the Demon Ancestor agree to this condition?

The Demon Ancestor's personality was extremely domineering. He would give what he wanted to give, and if he didn't want to give it, no one could have it.

Zong Zheng was overstepping his authority by making decisions for the Demon Ancestor. If this matter was reported back to the Heavenly Demon Cave, would the Demon Ancestor be furious?

At that time, the Demon Ancestor would probably not only not agree to the Gu Ling Clan's request but also severely punish Zong Zheng.

"A Demon Contract is easy to handle!"

The Blood Clan's King sneered and said, "Just make a fake one for him, won't that do? Gu Yindan hasn't seen a real Demon Contract before, and besides… this thing can be forged by this King, guaranteed to be as good as the real thing."

"However, we need to report this matter to the Heavenly Demon Cave. We are generals outside, and the Heavenly Demon Cave should understand our methods."

"We can!"

Zong Zheng, who had been having a headache, was overjoyed upon hearing the Blood Clan's King's words. He nodded and said, "He Shang, then I'll have to trouble you to make a fake Demon Contract. Zong Qi, you take the fake Demon Contract over and find out the layout of Jiang Henshui and the others."

"Then we will unite with the Gu Ling Clan from the inside and the outside, and maybe we can directly pacify the Ancient God Star Region in one fell swoop, without the Demon Clan sending any powerful individuals."

After Zong Zheng finished speaking, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "After Jiang Henshui's forces and the Flower Fairy Clan and Tatar Clan are defeated, my clan will occupy the Ancient God Star Region. The territory previously occupied by my clan will be divided equally between the Blood Clan and the Arrow Clan. He Shang, Jian Yu, what do you think?"

The blood on the Blood Clan's King's body wriggled, making a laughing sound and said, "Brother Zong is generous."

The Arrow Clan's King was more taciturn and only replied with one word: "Acceptable!"
