Chapter 573
by fanqienovelChapter 573: Striking the Hidden Mastermind
Faced with a powerhouse like Yan Qingling, the demon tribe had no choice but to retreat, even if they did not want to.
With Yan Qingling’s strength, if the demon tribe disobeyed, she could easily wipe out all the demon tribe members in the Da Luo realm, then lead the entire Immortal Tribe to attack the demon tribe. She could not only drive the demon tribe out of the Kunlun Realm but also invade the Demon Realm.
At that time, the demon tribe would even face the risk of extermination.
Upon hearing the demon tribe Da Luo’s agreement, Yan Qingling departed directly.
Seeing Yan Qingling leave, the Phoenix Tribe naval forces and Dragon Tribe Da Luo exchanged a glance before also departing.
Although the demon tribe Da Luo were severely injured, two of them were still late-stage Da Luo.
As mid-stage experts, they dared not entertain any other thoughts.
After Yan Qingling left, she immediately had Li Xiaojun teleport her to the Human Race in the Kunlun Realm, where she discussed the takeover of the demon tribe’s territory.
…
Just as Yan Qingling was informing the Human Race about occupying the demon tribe’s territory, all the Da Luo from other tribes of the Immortal Tribe, aside from the Human Race, gathered in the Phoenix Tribe’s territory.
“Everyone, here’s the situation. What are your thoughts?” After summarizing the situation, the Phoenix Tribe Da Luo turned to address everyone.
Upon hearing the Phoenix Tribe Da Luo’s words, a Da Luo from the Qilin Tribe asked, “Since Yan Qingling from the Human Race is so powerful, why doesn’t she just kill all the demon tribe Da Luo and lead our Immortal Tribe into the Demon Realm?”
In response, the Phoenix Tribe Da Luo lightly replied, “Originally, we wanted to assist when we saw Yan Qingling battling a group of demon tribe Da Luo. However, Yan Qingling didn’t need our help, and when Ao Xing, my friend, stepped in to assist, he ended up seriously injured by Yan Qingling…”
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, unsure of what to think.
“What does Yan Qingling mean by that?”
“I don’t know, but Yan Qingling has demanded the demon tribe withdraw from the Kunlun Realm, and the demon tribe has agreed,” the Phoenix Tribe Da Luo stated calmly.
“The demon tribe leaving the Kunlun Realm is good news, but how will the demon territory be divided?” someone inquired.
“According to Yan Qingling’s wishes, it should be occupied by the Human Race, and she won’t share it with us other races.”
“That’s so domineering of the Human Race!”
“Even if the Human Race is domineering, would you dare oppose Yan Qingling?”
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
What nonsense! Yan Qingling could take on a group of demon tribe Da Luo, including two late-stage Da Luo.
Who would dare oppose such a ruthless person?
Moreover, Yan Qingling had comprehended the rule of space. If they offended her, they might find no refuge in the entire Kunlun Realm.
Unless they broke through the world wall and escaped into the chaos.
But leaving was easy, and returning was difficult. Unless they comprehended the rule of space, they might never return to the Kunlun Realm.
In the chaos, with just their Da Luo realm strength, they would soon be eroded by the chaos and become chaotic beings devoid of self.
This was a situation no one desired.
“Since the Human Race wants the demon tribe’s territory, let it go to them,” a Da Luo from the beast tribe remarked quietly.
The demon tribe’s territory occupied one-third of the Kunlun Realm.
Such a large piece of territory, who wouldn’t want a share?
The truth is, Yan Qingling’s power is so formidable that they don’t dare entertain any thoughts of opposing her.
“Perhaps we can let the other races test Yan Qingling’s attitude,” a Da Luo said to the other beasts.
“How do we test?”
“We can allow some smaller tribes to occupy parts of the demon territory after they leave and see how the Human Race reacts. If the Human Race doesn’t respond…”
“What if there’s no response? Are you Qilin Tribe members brave enough to occupy it, or are you from the Dragon Tribe?”
“But giving the entire territory to the Human Race feels too much of a waste. If they occupy such a large area, how powerful will they become over time?” that Da Luo said, feeling reluctant.
Hearing this, the Phoenix Tribe Da Luo replied lightly, “As long as Yan Qingling is alive, the Human Race will remain the largest tribe in the Kunlun Realm. My friend Ao Xing was seriously injured by just one attack from Yan Qingling. If you don’t believe it, you can go test Yan Qingling’s strength yourself…”
Upon hearing this, Dragon Tribe Da Luo Ao Xing’s expression soured. Was it really necessary to keep dragging him into this?
However, it was the truth, and he had no ground to argue.
After hearing the Phoenix Tribe Da Luo’s words, the other Da Luo fell silent.
After a moment of thought, Dragon Tribe Da Luo said calmly, “Perhaps we can try letting some smaller tribes test the Human Race’s attitude. If the Human Race doesn’t pursue the matter, we won’t need to occupy the territory; we just need to control those smaller tribes to gain the benefits from the territory.”
“I think it’s worth a shot…” the other Da Luo agreed.
While a large group of Immortal Tribe Da Luo held their meeting,
the demon tribe also completed a meeting of their own.
This meeting primarily focused on how to respond to Yan Qingling’s demand for the demon tribe to withdraw.
However, the outcome was that the demon tribe had no choice but to retreat.
Unless a demon could defeat Yan Qingling, they had to leave.
“Let’s withdraw to the territories farthest from the Human Race. With this situation, it’s likely that other races from the Immortal Tribe will occupy it. In that case, let the Human Race and Immortal Tribe fight among themselves.”
“Additionally, after we leave the Kunlun Realm, we will seal the channel to the Demon Realm, cutting off the connection between the Demon Realm and Kunlun Realm. Afterward, let’s focus on cultivating our juniors who have grasped the rule of space. I believe we will eventually repay the shame the Human Race has brought upon us…”
After the meeting,
the demon tribe soon began to withdraw.
After the demon tribe left, some of the Immortal Tribe near them began to occupy the territories they had vacated and quickly exploited the resources there.
Naturally, this situation was quickly discovered by the spies of the Human Race.
Before long, this news was reported back to the Human Race.
Upon learning of this, the leader of the Human Race hurriedly reported the situation to Yan Qingling.
“Who are the forces behind those races?” Yan Qingling asked the leader.
“The Velociraptor Tribe and Earth Rift Tribe are dependent tribes of the Dragon Tribe. The Blue Bird Tribe and White Feather Tribe are dependent on the Phoenix Tribe, while the Earth Tiger Tribe and Green Fox Tribe are affiliated with the Qilin Tribe…”
“Understood.”
After receiving this information, Yan Qingling confirmed her understanding and contacted her biological father, Li Xiaojun.
“Dad, please help me teleport to the main city of the Phoenix Tribe,” Yan Qingling said to Li Xiaojun.
Upon hearing Yan Qingling’s request, Li Xiaojun promptly teleported her there.
Not long after, Yan Qingling requested that Li Xiaojun teleport her to the Dragon Tribe, and afterward, to the Qilin Tribe and the other two races.
After Yan Qingling visited several major tribes,
the races that had occupied the territories left by the demon tribe began to withdraw.
The reason for their retreat was simple: Yan Qingling had visited several tribes with Da Luo and had defeated all the monsters from those tribes.
In the end, Yan Qingling made it clear that if any of their vassal races attempted to occupy the demon territory again, she would eliminate them; they could test this if they dared.
As for the tribes that were vassals of the major races,
Yan Qingling had Li Xiaojun teleport a large group of powerhouses, who then completely annihilated several tribes.
Under these circumstances, soon, all the races no longer dared to covet the territory left by the retreating demon tribe.
