The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 704: 352
 

Hearing the words of these four Demon Ancestors, Lin Yi felt a bit of schadenfreude. This was the Fox Clan digging its own grave, assuming they were invincible simply because they had some schemes and plotting, which had caused discontent among the four tribes of Monster Beasts.

Now, the arrival of himself as the Golden Serpent had made the rift between the Fox Clan and the four tribes even wider.

He also understood the reason these four Ancestors were favoring him: they wanted support in the Immortal Realm, and if they failed to cross their tribulation, they hoped to have an opportunity to ascend.

As for the threat from the Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor, he did not take it to heart because today, when he approached the Demon-Slaying City, he had already used his Predict Crisis ability once and did not encounter a life-or-death crisis.

This also meant that this old Fox Demon Ancestor was not going to make a move against him, and all of it was just for show.

Moreover, now that the four Demon Ancestors were siding with him, the Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor did not dare to act rashly. This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak, and the alliance of the four tribes, although not necessarily destroying the Fox Clan with ease, would not be too troublesome.

Furthermore, the four tribes would also gain many benefits and seize more resources.

Lin Yi first gave a cupped fist salute to the four Demon Ancestors and calmly said, “Thank you for your fair words, sirs. My visit here is solely for training. I do not wish to be involved in any disputes, and I certainly do not wish to become enemies with any one clan. However, should any clan resolutely oppose me, I will not be polite in return.”

After that, he took out a Gourd from his Storage Ring and handed it to the Golden Peng Clan Demon Ancestor, “These are the Primordial Spirits of those three Fox Demons; I shall leave their disposal to Elder Golden Peng. I take my leave now.”

Having said that, he turned with his hands clasped behind his back and flew towards Demon City on his sword.

The Integration Stage Fox Demons nearby looked anxiously at their own Ancestor. With the four Demon Ancestors present, they did not dare to act rashly.

Moreover, as the Shadow Images had shown, without the Ancestor’s suppression, these Integration Stage beings might not be a match for the Golden Serpent.

The Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor, however, did not look towards the departing Lin Yi but instead turned to the four surrounding Ancestors, speaking in a dark tone, “Fellow Daoists, do you really consider a Golden Serpent so important that you would disregard the fellowship of our five tribes, siding with him instead?”

The Golden Peng Clan Ancestor laughed lightly, “Fellow Bai, your words are not proper. Although we Demon Tribes are born in the wilderness, there are some principles we still uphold.”

“You should have seen it. Since Long Ao appeared outside Demon-Slaying City, rescuing the Golden Serpent White Painting, despite having some grudges with your Fox Clan, has he ever deliberately provoked your clan in the past hundred years? No, he hasn’t.”

“This time, he made a personal visit to the Fox Tribe Cave Mansion out of respect for you and your Fox Clan, requesting your assistance only to explore the lower Cultivation World. Otherwise, with his ability to instantly annihilate three Integration Stage Fox Demons, would he need to communicate with you?”

“Originally, you had the opportunity to mend relations with him. However, you refused him using excuses. Ask yourself, whose fault is it truly?”

The Fox Tribe Ancestor fell silent. Indeed, in the past hundred plus years, Long Ao had been mostly studying with these four Demon Ancestors and hadn’t deliberately provoked the Fox Clan even once.

“Elder Jin, Long Ao must be a spy of the Human race; otherwise, why would he travel a great distance to rescue a Human Ascender and yet not bring them back?” said an Integration Stage Fox Demon who couldn’t help but speak up at this moment.

The Golden Peng Ancestor did not speak but only glanced at the Fox Tribe Ancestor. Without hesitation, the Fox Tribe Ancestor released a burst of Fox Energy, forcing the speaker back to his true form. “I am conversing with Elder Jin. It’s not your place to interrupt. Go down and accept the punishment according to our clan rules.”

“Yes, Ancestor,” the weakened Integration Stage Fox Demon said and, with the help of two fellow clansmen, set off for Demon City.

Only then did the Golden Peng Ancestor continue to speak, “As far as I know, Brother Long has not lied. Outside Sword Edge Spirit City, he indeed encountered the head of a lower realm Sect of an Ascender, alluring and bewitching, who had ascended from Qinglian Spirit City, named Invincible East. It seems at the time, a Void Refinement member of your clan was leading an attack on Qinglian Spirit City and was disrupted by her words, breaking his spirit and halting the assault for twenty years.”

Upon hearing this, a Void Refinement Fox Demon standing behind the Fox Tribe Ancestor revealed a trace of anger on his face, as did a stunning Fox Demon beside him.

The Fox Tribe Ancestor naturally sensed the fury of these two clansmen but did not say a word.

The Golden Peng Ancestor went on, “This lady has only ascended for over six hundred years and has already broken through to the Void Refinement Realm. She engaged in a fierce battle with Brother Long outside Sword Edge Spirit City, and her abilities exceeded the realm itself.”

“Brother Long enjoyed the fight and naturally let her take the Ascender away.”

“We are currently on good terms with Brother Long. If we really formed an alliance against him, it would be pushing him toward the Human race. I believe your Fox Clan would not wish to face him on the battlefield defending a city one day, either.”

Seeing the Fox Tribe Ancestor’s expression softening, he walked over with a smile, holding out the Gourd containing the Primordial Spirits of the three Integration Stage Fox Demons, “Here, these are the Primordial Spirits of your three Integration Stage clansmen. This shows that Brother Long sincerely does not wish to be your enemy. Otherwise, even if he didn’t turn them over, we wouldn’t be able to force him.”
