Has the Demon Clan Come to Save Their Comrades

"Big bro!"

"Big bro's aura has appeared!"

When Chen Chang'an's aura emerged, Da Huang and the other two finally let out a sigh of relief.

Before long, Chen Chang'an flew out from the depths of the Pure Sea.

"Big bro!"

"How did it go?"

"Did you find some incredible treasure?"

"Like, the one and only, strongest treasure in the Ancient Immortal Realm?"

"Right?" Da Huang asked excitedly.

Little Viper and Yi Tuo also stared at Chen Chang'an with eager anticipation.

"Let's keep moving first."

"We'll talk on the way."

"Got it."

With only ten years left, Chen Chang'an didn’t want to waste any more time. After all, he wasn’t sure whether the Qilin Clan even possessed the Fragment of Life’s Law. Or if the journey to their territory would lead him to it.

Along the way, Chen Chang'an recounted what he had encountered beneath the Pure Sea. Hearing his tale, Da Huang and the others found it utterly astonishing. Who would’ve thought that deep within the Pure Sea, an existence like the Tree God resided?

"Big bro, if the Tree God really dies…"

"Do you think the Ancient Immortal Realm will collapse along with it?"

"Since they were born together, isn’t it possible they’ll perish together too?" Da Huang asked worriedly.

"That’s exactly what I’m most concerned about," Chen Chang'an nodded.

"Godfather, if we save the Tree God, since it’s so powerful, wouldn’t it reward you with tons of treasures?"

"It must have a lot of treasures, right?"

Seeing Little Viper’s greedy expression, Chen Chang'an sighed helplessly. Was this some innate dragon trait—obsession with riches?

"Aside from treasures, what else do you care about?" Chen Chang'an asked, exasperated.

"Hmm… brothels."

"Just shut up."

Chen Chang'an sighed again, then shot a glare at Da Huang, who felt utterly wronged.

What did I even do?

I’m helping you babysit, and you’re blaming me?

"Yi Tuo… never mind, I’ll do it myself."

"You’re too slow."

Yi Tuo had initially been thrilled that his big bro was relying on him, but the follow-up remark instantly deflated his mood.

When you need me, it’s "Yi Tuo, do this," but when you don’t, it’s "you’re too slow."

With Chen Chang'an’s assistance, they crossed the Pure Sea in just a month.

"Big bro, keep going!"

"I’m exhausted, damn it!"

"From now on, Yi Tuo’s in charge."

"Hmph, no way!"

"Huh?"

Chen Chang'an frowned and turned to Yi Tuo. Well, well, since when did you develop an attitude?

"I won’t… let you down."

Under Chen Chang'an’s scrutinizing gaze, Yi Tuo ultimately caved.

"Have you noticed?"

"Traces of humans are becoming scarcer."

After several more months of travel, Chen Chang'an observed that human presence had dwindled, replaced by increasing signs of demonic beasts.

"Godfather, that’s only natural."

"Though humans and demonic beasts currently coexist peacefully, they’re still different races."

"Where demonic beasts gather, humans grow scarce—there’s always some wariness."

"Besides, we’re heading toward the Qilin Clan’s territory."

"Eventually, we might not see a single human," Little Viper explained.

True to his words, as they progressed, all traces of humans vanished entirely. Chen Chang'an had fully entered the domain of demonic beasts.

However, his presence quickly drew their attention.

"A mere peak Heavenly Immortal Realm human dares to trespass into our demonic beasts’ territory?"

"And he’s using our kin as mounts?"

"Is he looking down on us?"

"We must teach him a lesson."

"Exactly, or else they’ll think demonic beasts are pushovers."

For many demonic beasts, serving as a human’s mount was a humiliating disgrace—an act they perceived as human contempt toward their kind.

"Rescue our brethren! Uphold the honor of demonic beasts!"

"Brothers, charge!"

Chen Chang'an had long noticed groups of demonic beasts observing their movements. He just hadn’t expected them to actually attack.

Watching the oncoming horde, he sighed in resignation.

"Your comrades are here to save you," Chen Chang'an remarked with a chuckle.

"Huh?"

"What busybodies!"

"Who asked for their help?"

"Do demonic beasts even have brothels?" Da Huang muttered disdainfully.

"Demonic beasts might not have brothels, but they definitely have dogs."

"Female ones, Da Huang. You’d fit right in," Chen Chang'an teased.

"No!"

"I want beauties!"

"Lots and lots of beauties!"

"Big bro, you know me—nothing else interests me."

While Chen Chang'an and Da Huang bantered, dozens of demonic beasts closed in.

"Damned human, release them!"

"They are members of our demonic beast race, not your mounts!" roared the leader, a King Immortal Realm demonic beast of indeterminate origin.

"Hmm… if you think humans are so despicable…"

"Why do you all take human form?" Chen Chang'an asked curiously.

His words left the demonic beasts speechless. Damn, this kid’s got a sharp tongue.

They exchanged awkward glances, utterly stumped for a rebuttal.

Damn it!

Outsmarted by lack of education!

"Y-you shut up!"

"What we do is our business, none of your concern!"

"But you can’t use our kin as mounts!"

"That’s right, we won’t allow it!"

"We must save our demonic beast brethren!"

Oho!

Quite the united front!

"You tell me not to meddle in your affairs, yet you’re meddling in mine?"

"Isn’t that a bit hypocritical?"

"Is this how demonic beasts behave?"

"If word gets out, your entire race’s reputation will be ruined."

"Imagine—humans used to think highly of demonic beasts, saw you as noble beings."

"But because of you, that goodwill will vanish."

"You’ll be the eternal sinners of your race!"

"Shunned by all demonic beasts!"

When it came to verbal sparring, Chen Chang'an feared no one—especially not these uncultured demonic beasts.

Sure enough, his words sent them into a panic.

"No, no!"

"We don’t want to be race traitors! We’d never tarnish our reputation!"

"We… we just…"

"You say something, I’m out of comebacks."

"I… I don’t know what to say either."

"Uh… maybe I should speak."

"Actually, we demonic beasts are really friendly."

"Yeah, super friendly! Extremely friendly!"

Da Huang and the little earthworm both wore expressions of utter helplessness. What an embarrassment! Tsk—no, a disgrace to demonkind! How could they be so easily fooled? How could they be this stupid?

"Mm, good. You two are quite... friendly."

"So, wasn’t your behavior just now... wrong?"

"Shouldn’t you apologize to me?"
