Chapter 912: New Suspicions
The Nine-Headed Hydra King wasn’t short-sighted be it due to his cultivation base strength or experience. He had read the memories on the crystal ball and knew that it wasn’t forged.
Looking at his King Father’s ashen face, Jiu You stretched out his hand and took the crystal ball to check it as well.
After perusing it, the shock in his eyes did not dissipate for a long time.
The Nine-Headed Hydra King was silent for a moment before speaking: “Young Miss Lou, you must be the ones who stole the supreme treasure of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan right.”
The Nine-Headed Hydra Clan and the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan were very hostile against each other, so every move of the other party would be fed back to them.
The incident of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan’s supreme treasure inexplicably being lost before aroused the attention of the surrounding clans.
Now that he knew that Lou Mu Yan and the others had discovered the secret of the Queen of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, he guessed that she might’ve stolen the treasure.
Lou Mu Yan chuckled: “Your Majesty the Hydra King, you’ve missed the point.”
It seemed that the matter of stealing the supreme treasure couldn’t be hidden for long anymore. She and Ming Xiu appeared in the Demon Realm. Any experienced advanced-level demon cultivator would suspect that they stole the Fox Clan’s supreme treasure.
However, it was one thing to suspect and guess, and another thing to admit it in public. She wasn’t stupid enough to answer this suspicion herself.
The Nine-Headed Hydra King’s eyes focused, and changed the topic with a laugh, “This King has overstepped. Then does Young Miss Lou and Ninth Prince have any ways to deal with the Queen of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan?”
“There is a way. The Four Realms unite to resist aliens and eliminate all spies lurking on Guang’ling World.”
Ming Xiu rubbed the teacup in his hand and continued in a serious voice: “The aliens have been preparing for many years. If all races are still a mess like scattered sand, then it’s obviously impossible to drive out the alien enemies with the strength of us alone.”
“This is natural, in front of a crisis of the continent, we all have the responsibility to resist aliens and catch hidden spies to prevent future troubles.”
The Nine-Headed Hydra King inquired sharply: “Why don’t we begin from the Demon Realm and search secretly to clear the lairs of the Yin Soul Beasts and other mutated beasts they cultivated.”
If the aliens weren’t eliminated, then once war was triggered, the billions of lives on the entire Guang’ling World would be in dire straits and their Nine-Headed Hydra Clan would also not end well.
The best way right now was to integrate the forces of the Four Realms to jointly resist the alien enemies as Ming Xiu said.
“We also think the same. The Devil Lord of the Demon Realm; Emperor Ming and the Realm Master of the Human Realm; the three Eastern, Southern, and Northern Kings of the Sea Realm have all begun to act. This time we’re here to assist the Demon Realm to kill their trump cards used in battle.” Ming Xiu exuded a mighty momentum.
“Alright, then are you going to contact the other Demon Kings about this matter?’ The Nine-Headed Hydra King believed that these two people wouldn’t rely solely on the power of their Nine-Headed Hydra Clan.
“We have already reached a cooperation with the Golden Roc King of the Heavenly Roc Clan. As for the other major Demon Kings, we will trouble you, Nine-Headed Hydra King, to inform.”
Ming Xiu paused, then said: “Of course, you can tell them in advance, but you don’t need to notify the two clans that have befriended the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.”
“Those two Demon Kings are probably just ambitious and want to participate in the carve-up of the Demon Realm. It’s impossible for them to know that the Queen of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is a spy.” The Nine-Headed Hydra King said pertinently.
Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow: “But it’s not appropriate for us to startle the enemy right now. At the very least, we should clean a large number of the other’s dens with mutated beasts before we can expose them.”
“Young Miss Lou is right, this King will keep it a secret.” The Nine-Headed Hydra King also knew that it wasn’t time to beat the grass and startle the snake, “I will privately disclose some news to the Demon Kings and find a chance to have a secret meeting.”
“Alright, then we will trouble Nine-Headed Hydra King.” Lou Mu Yan said with a smile.
It would be too slow for her and Ming Xiu to come forward and contact the Demon Kings one by one, and they might not be able to meet and persuade those Demon Kings immediately either.
The Nine-Headed Hydra King was well-known in the Demon Realm for his good relationship with the demons. He secretly befriended several Demon Kings of the other clans. It was most appropriate for him to reveal the news and invite them to meet secretly.
The amount of time for the Fox Queen to begin the war was pressing, and their preparation time was even more demanding. No delay was allowed.
“Young Miss Lou, you saved my son. This grace alone will not be rejected by this King, not to mention that the safety of my Nine-Headed Hydra Clan is involved. This King is naturally obliged to do so.” The Nine-Headed Hydra King said with uprightness and boldness.
Jiu You had been pondering deeply the entire time, and after a while, he suddenly remembered something.
“By the way, Qi Yan Mountain may be a stronghold for the aliens to cultivate mutated beasts.”
Ming Xiu looked at him and asked: “You were poisoned by the fire poison in Qi Yan Mountain before, did you get attacked by some mutated beasts?”
They also had some suspicions about this.
“Mm, there wasn’t only one mutated beast, and I also accidentally found out because I saw a strange light flickering in the depths of Qi Yan Mountain and went to investigate.” Jiu You still felt chills remembering the scene at that time.
Lou Mu Yan furrowed her brows slightly and asked: “Then have you seen those mutated beasts before? How did you get attacked at the time?”
“The entire body of the mutated beast was covered by clusters of flames of different colours and attributes. It was huge and burly. At the time, I strayed into a cave and saw them devouring souls with my own eyes.”
Jiu You paused, then continued: “When I found them, they also found me. Except for the mutated beast that was refining and absorbing souls, the others all got up and chased me.
“Luckily I had a bad premonition in my heart and made preparations. Immediately after escaping from that cave, I activated the Teleportation Talisman you gave to me before to be able to escape. Otherwise I’d definitely never return.”
Jiu You said with lingering fear: “However, before the Teleportation Talisman activated, I was still poisoned by the joint attacks of those mutated beasts.”
“If it’s devouring and refining souls, then it should be a mutated beast cultivated by the Queen of the Fox Clan.” Lou Mu Yan nodded.
“By the way, I noticed that the souls devoured by those mutated beasts didn’t look like humans or ordinary demon cultivators, but rather Yin Soul Beasts.” Jiu You said while recalling.
“Are you sure?” Ming Xiu pressed his lips tightly and asked.
Jiu You furrowed his brows, recalled for a bit, then said: “I’m not sure about the other souls, but one of the souls devoured by the mutated beast is definitely a Yin Soul Beast’s.”
He had dealt with devils on the Foreign Battlefield, so he had seen Yin Soul Beasts, and also purposefully paid attention to the aura of Yin Soul Beasts.
“If that’s the case, then it’s complicated.”
Lou Mu Yan couldn’t resist furrowing her brows even deeper, “Before, we always thought that the aliens wanted to use the special environment of the Four Realms to cultivate mutated beasts at Unification Realm, but if it’s like what Jiu You saw, then there might be a big secret hidden in it.”
Ming Xiu pondered for a moment before opening his mouth: “Then could it be that those strange beasts with fire poison are actually the real trump cards of the Queen of the Fox Clan, and the other demonic beasts cultivated in the other Four Realms are actually just food for those strange beasts?”
“Jiu You, do the strange beasts you saw have low intelligence?” Lou Mu Yan asked with some thought.
Jiu You shook his head: “It’s not low. They’re completely the same as our demon cultivators of the same level, or even above it. When they chased me, they transformed into human forms and used arrays.”
