"Ancient Sycamore tribe!" Ji Wu Mei and An Chen Yu exclaimed as they looked at groups of creatures moving stiffly.
"Haha, after a thousand years, Fairy Ji has become even more beautiful and captivating." A young man slowly approached. His entire body was the color of black wood, with wood grain visible even on his face.
Although his body was made of wood, this person appeared much more agile than the other Ancient Sycamore tribesmen. Layers of vines were wrapped around him, but unlike others, these vines bore leaves, constantly bursting with vitality.
However, what was strange was that this fellow had a knot on his face. For an Ancient Sycamore tribesman, this was synonymous with ugliness.
Yet, no one dared to mock him, for his name was Tong Sha!
"Greetings, Young Master Tong." Upon hearing Tong Sha's words, Ji Wu Mei and An Chen Yu quickly bowed. If they respected the Demon Son, then they feared Tong Sha.
"No need for ceremony, tsk tsk… Fairy Ji, your reputation has been soaring these past few years, and yet you've become even more dazzling and alluring." Tong Sha seemed indifferent to the Demon Son and An Chen Yu beside him, but he stared at Ji Wu Mei with lust, even his vine-like tongue couldn't help but lick his lips.
His tongue was like a snake's, only harder.
Tong Sha approached Ji Wu Mei, his eyes filled with eagerness. He even leaned his head close to her, inhaling deeply. His expression, actions, and words were all filled with a certain morbidity.
"So fragrant, so wonderful. My father truly didn't lie to me. It's just, why is Fairy Ji, with such a constitution, still so unwelcome among your Demon Fairy race?"
"Tong Sha, are you not taking me seriously! Ji Wu Mei is not someone you can lay your hands on!" The Demon Son, Xuan Yuan, took a step forward, placing himself between Tong Sha and Ji Wu Mei, staring coldly at Tong Sha. If the teleportation array area were not a safe zone, he would have already unleashed a skill.
"Xuan Yuan, have your guts grown? Daring to talk back to me?" Tong Sha said to Xuan Yuan, who stood before him, with a gentle smile.
The Demon Son's status was quite high among the Nine Divine Cities, but not everyone would defer to him, especially those with exceptional talent or immense power.
The Demon Son Xuan Yuan himself was not very strong, but he could swagger through the Demon Domain and even other divine cities. However, encountering a madman known for killing, even the Demon Son's status was useless. Moreover, with his father and several other Demon clan overlords entering awakening, without a strong backing, Xuan Yuan had been much more subdued recently.
"I…" Xuan Yuan looked at the smiling Tong Sha and actually flinched.
Tong Sha was different from them. He rose from humble beginnings, his fearsome reputation earned entirely through his own efforts. Later, he was favored by an Ancient Sycamore tribe elder and became a disciple of the Ancient Sycamore Divine Clan.
The origin of the Ancient Sycamore tribe was very peculiar. None of the Nine Divine Cities had any records of them, as if they had suddenly appeared. Yet, there had always been legends about this race, saying that the ancestors of the Ancient Sycamore tribe were ancient Wutong divine trees, the favored dwelling places of the divine beast Phoenix. After millions of years, and experiencing the nirvana of ten Phoenixes, they were born with intelligent consciousness. Only after experiencing the nirvana of a hundred Phoenixes could they walk freely.
Later, by chance, they encountered a human great master, who, moved by its perseverance and dedication, bestowed upon it a drop of human essence blood, making its agility more acute and its reproductive capacity stronger, leading to the rapid development and power of the Ancient Sycamore tribe.
Before entering awakening, the Demon Emperor had specifically instructed Xuan Yuan, "Among the Nine Divine Cities, you can provoke the Ghost tribe, the Demon tribe, and even the Divine tribe, but a million times over, do not provoke the Ancient Sycamore tribe."
"What about you, what about you, get lost!" Tong Sha, seeing Xuan Yuan's fear, couldn't help but roar.
Then, his expression shifted to that of a fawning dog, smiling at Ji Wu Mei. He ignored Ji Wu Mei's displeased expression and stiff body, took her hand, and continuously stroked it with his wooden hand.
Xuan Yuan saw Ji Wu Mei's pleading look and quickly turned his head away, pretending not to see, though his heart was bleeding. An Chen Yu, on the other hand, hid even further away.
He knew that some young masters from the Ancient Sycamore tribe would come, but he hadn't expected it to be this madman, Tong Sha.
Thinking of Tong Sha's past exploits, Xuan Yuan couldn't help but shiver.
"Young Master Tong, if you have something to discuss, we can do so after we conquer the human cities. Look, our combined two million troops have already lost sixty percent of their men." With no other recourse, Ji Wu Mei weakly looked at Tong Sha.
"Haha, Fairy Ji has a request, and Tong Sha will surely satisfy it." Tong Sha turned to look at his subordinates who were still continuously teleporting in. He didn't care how many arrived, ordering them to attack immediately.
To him, attacking sooner or later made no difference. Besides his own powerful combat prowess, he knew nothing about leading troops or waging war.
"This… won't this be too rash…" An Chen Yu felt this guy was too impulsive, but seeing Tong Sha look at him, he immediately dared not speak.
Damn it, how did this kind of brain manage to cultivate?
"You two get lost, don't get in the way of me and the Fairy's romance!" Tong Sha looked at the two "light bulbs" and directly cursed at them.
…
Under Tong Sha's murderous gaze, Xuan Yuan and An Chen Yu, with crestfallen faces, begrudgingly trudged back towards the battlefield, feeling utterly miserable. Xuan Yuan even considered recalling his army to kill Tong Sha.
However…
Seeing the Ancient Sycamore tribesmen constantly emerging from the teleportation array, Xuan Yuan could only endure.
As for An Chen Yu, there was nothing to be said. His entire Dark Tribe legion had already been annihilated, not a single one left. Even their remains had been wiped out by the system.
