Chapter 1818: Chapter 1814: Let Me Ask Again, Who Did This? (Second Update)
With such a status, even if the Great Elder of Qingqiu Fox Country were here, he would nod slightly.
Let alone Huyue, who is a junior.
Thus, he could only step forward before Li Tulü approached, bow and say, “Huyue of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, greets the Clan Leader Li!”
Li Tulü’s gaze was sharp as a sword, scanning Huyue and then glancing at Xue An and the others behind him, finding nothing unusual, he then laughed.
When this seemingly aging elder laughed, he was very much like an ambitious young man who has just set out into the world.
The chill and utter disregard were truly daunting.
He then said softly, “The Fox Gentleman of Qingqiu Fox Country has personally come; this is an honor for my White Tiger Clan. Fox Gentleman, there is no need to be so courteous!”
His voice was calm and profound, yet carried an unparalleled majesty, like a monarch whose words are law, making people wish to bow down in worship.
Huyue knew all this was because the White Tiger Clan Leader’s cultivation level was too profound, nearly reaching the realm of Immortal Emperor, so much so that he couldn’t control the leakage of spirit energy in his behavior and speech.
Such strength is considered top-notch even among the Demon Race where strong beings abound.
Therefore, Huyue felt a chill in his heart, bowed, and said, “Clan Leader Li praises me too much. I am but an ordinary Demon Race member from Qingqiu Fox Country, unworthy of such praise!”
Li Tulü laughed heartily at these words, “If even the outstanding figures among the young crowd of the Demon Race claim to be ordinary, then no one would dare call themselves higher demons! Since my worthy nephew is here today, let’s do away with constraints; come, join me in taking the upper seat!”
This certainly did give Huyue a lot of face!
Moreover, without giving Huyue a chance to refuse, Li Tulü grabbed Huyue’s wrist and led him to the main banquet seat.
Huyue inwardly lamented.
He’s no fool; after pondering over the situation for a while, he naturally understood why the White Tiger Clan treated him this way.
Clearly, the White Tiger Clan intended to turn against the Dragon Clan!
And he was but a perfect excuse; as long as they dragged him into their affairs, Qingqiu Fox Country would become a spear against the Dragon Clan.
At that time, the White Tiger Clan could sit back and enjoy the spoils of war from a safe distance!
These thoughts flashed through Huyue’s mind briefly, yet he was helpless, and desperate, he could only look towards Xue An who was far away.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xue An didn’t even glance at him; instead, he seemed to be pondering as he observed the entire venue.
This guy… What is he searching for? Huyue couldn’t help but be puzzled.
But soon, these thoughts were drowned out by the flattery from the White Tiger Clan.
Amidst all the praise, Huyue felt dizzy, and again he sought help by looking towards Xue An.
But this time, he was disappointed again.
For Xue An was keenly observing the banquet hall’s details, completely ignoring Huyue.
Huyue’s heart gradually sank to the bottom.
Old Xue, what on earth are you doing?
Meanwhile.
Li Hai smiled at Clan Leader Li Tulü and asked, “Clan Leader, do you want to have a bit of fun?”
Li Tulü chuckled evilly, “Alright! Just that today, the Fox Gentleman is here, let him witness it too!”
“Okay!”
Li Hai clapped his hands.
A group of gorgeously dressed Demon Race women walked into the banquet hall.
Each of these women could be considered stunning.
But this wasn’t particularly surprising because Demon Race women naturally were more beautiful than Human Clan women.
The key was all these Demon Race women carried an air of fragility that evoked deep protective instincts, especially when they blinked their innocent large eyes and looked around bewildered, it could stir up any man’s protectiveness deeply.
Thus, their arrival triggered quite a stir in the venue.
Many elders or high-level members of the White Tiger Clan drooled at these women.
Were it not for the public setting, they might have rushed onto the stage immediately.
Even so, many were itching to move.
The only one whose eyes shone bright was Xue An, even his fingers paled from exertion.
Li Hai was oblivious to this and chuckled, “With the Fox Gentleman visiting us, my White Tiger Clan is deeply honored. These women were specially brought in to enliven the occasion!”
Thus, these women moved towards Huyue like marionettes.
Though they appeared wooden, this feeling carried a unique charm.
And not just him, even Hu Ying and Xue An each had arrangements.
Huyue initially wanted to decline, but seeing the deep implication in Li Hai’s eyes, he swallowed his words back.
Because he knew, should he refuse, these women might perish on the spot.
So he could only suppress his displeasure and reluctantly smile, “Thank you, Elder Li for the thoughtful arrangements….”
Before he could finish speaking, with a crisp sound, the table in front of Xue An shattered, and the dishes and teacups atop it turned into powder instantly.
He then stood coldly, pointing to the woman before him, and asked indifferently, “Who did this?”
The place fell silent.
Everyone, including Huyue, was stunned.
Xue An raised an eyebrow slightly, “I’ll ask once more, who did this to her?”
Huyue shivered slightly, then asked in panic, “Old Xue, what’s happening?”
Xue An took a deep breath, “This woman was one of my subordinates in the past!”
These words startled Huyue as well.
“What happened?”
“What happened? Well, that needs asking these folks here!” Xue An sneered.
In fact, just now, the one brought to serve Xue An was the female demon from the water dungeon of the Jade Rabbit Tribe.
This woman, who had been tortured into near oblivion, upon approaching Xue An, before she could speak, he sensed something awry and said coldly, “Is it you?”
The female demon initially looked at Xue An blankly, until after some time she finally recognized him and in high emotion called out, “Lord Red Lotus… Lord Red Lotus? Are you Lord Red Lotus?”
She said this as tears welled up in her eyes, filled with endless grievance.
As for Xue An, a raging inferno of anger ignited in his eyes.
All because this woman and her tribe were under Xue An’s command back when he was Immortal Venerable.
The Jade Rabbit Tribe!
This tribe, sounding gentle and seemingly harmless, was once a significant part of the Demon Race.
Despite not possessing strong bloodlines, they had a unique ability to observe the wind and air.
This ability allowed them to evade numerous catastrophes and continue to this day.
Especially when they committed themselves to Xue An’s camp, making his momentum unparalleled, and ultimately he became the undisputed first powerhouse of the Multiverse.
Yet unexpectedly, Xue An ended up falling under the calamity of the Immortal Venerable, and subsequently, the Jade Rabbit Tribe vanished without a trace.
Until today.
Seeing the battered member of the Jade Rabbit Tribe before him, Xue An exploded in fury.
Even Huyue had never seen Xue An this angry.
His raging aura blasted across the venue like crashing waves.
Just then, the White Tiger tribesman responsible for the water dungeon spoke obliviously, “What’s the matter? She’s just a bought wench, isn’t it normal to beat her a few times?”
Before his words had ended.
This White Tiger tribesman’s body swelled abruptly, then exploded into dust.
Blood sprayed over half the banquet hall.
Xue An slowly raised his gaze towards the White Tiger Clan Leader Li Tulü, “I’m asking again, who did it?”
