Chapter 612: Chapter 414: Fox Mountain! (Double Chapter)
"Prince Cui, what is the meaning of this?" A tall, thin old man with a half-meter-long white beard from the Su family’s side frowned and looked at Prince Cui.
There was a tone of questioning in his voice.
In the present day, the only ones who dared to speak to Prince Cui in such a manner were these grandmaster powerhouses from the Su family.
"These are distinguished guests from the Fox Mountain clan of Yuanzhou who came with me from Cloud Emperor City, how could we treat them lightly!" Prince Cui said directly, looking at several of the old fellows from the Su family.
It was clear that Prince Cui’s tone was also somewhat displeased.
"Coming from Cloud Emperor City..." Several grandmaster elders from the Su family exchanged glances and furrowed their brows.
This was completely different from what they had envisioned.
These suddenly arriving great demons were not only not enemies of the human race but were actually esteemed guests of the human race!
Though it sounded somewhat absurd, it was indeed the truth.
Not all demons were categorized within the demon race’s camp.
There were quite a few demons who were closer to the human race and were classified within the human race’s camp, advancing and retreating together with them.
Although the fox demons of Fox Mountain in Yuanzhou were not once close to humans, they had always maintained a neutral role.
But now, the great demons of Fox Mountain descended from the mountain and voluntarily went to Cloud Emperor City to meet with Emperor Yun, signaling good news.
This could serve as a catalyst for Yunzhou’s human race to potentially win over Fox Mountain as allies in the future.
This was the origin of their status as Prince Cui’s esteemed guests; Fox Mountain could become an ally of the human race.
One must not underestimate these demon realm allies, as they are crucial support for the human race’s counter-offensive.
As for the strength of Fox Mountain, there was simply no need to say more.
Not to mention that sending an envoy team comprised entirely of great demons already demonstrated their confidence.
Moreover, having the qualification to directly meet Emperor Yun already speaks volumes.
Ordinary demons have no such capability!
In fact, those demons who manage to maintain their autonomy in the demon realm, insisting on neutrality, either have extremely great strength to deter all demons or choose not to emerge into the external world.
Evidently, the vast Fox Mountain in Yuanzhou belongs to the former category.
The Su family, being a noble family, several old fellows were clearly also aware of what Prince Cui’s words implied.
No matter how powerful this group of great demons was, even the Su family couldn’t make a move against them!
Unless they intended to oppose the human emperor, and even at their peak, they dared not do such a thing, let alone now that the Su family had fallen.
Su Jizi looked at Prince Cui, then at the great demon grandmasters on both sides, deeply knowing that he had no place to speak at this moment.
Compared to these big shots, regardless of strength or seniority, he was merely someone who should be sitting at the children’s table.
What to do now, the decision lay in the hands of the Su family’s grandmasters.
"Yan Xue, is this the human noble family that wronged you?" A voluptuous and beautiful woman suddenly spoke up.
Xi Yanxue remained silent, which was tantamount to acknowledging it.
"How about discussing it with Emperor Yun, adding a condition to make this Su family disappear?" the beautiful woman said suddenly and boldly, her tone unreserved, allowing everyone to hear it.
Upon hearing this, Su Dingkong narrowed his eyes and swept his sharp gaze across the great demons of Fox Mountain, including Xi Yanxue.
His aura as a grandmaster was uncontrollably unleashed.
"Quite remarkable, it’s rare to see someone so old still exuding such domineering presence," said another great demon, transformed into a seemingly younger man, looking on without fear and sneering.
They did not make a move, but their words provoked greater irritation, as if they were goading the Su family into acting first.
And indeed, that was the case.
They did not fear this fallen human noble family, but considering the fact that this was human territory, they could not act proactively.
If the Su family dared to strike first, it would fall right into their trap.
Since they had come here, they did not mind avenging Xi Yanxue.
And when had the Su family ever been subjected to such insult, with several grandmaster powerhouses all prepared to make a move at any moment.
Naturally, Prince Cui would not allow them to truly engage in a brawl in the main city.
Not only would he be implicated, but Cui Bai Main City also could not withstand a war between Martial Arts Grandmasters and Great Demons.
"Everyone, for the sake of the greater good, don’t make it difficult for me," Prince Cui said in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping over all the present great demons and grandmasters, his tone brooking no argument.
Being one of the thirty-six princes of Yunzhou, Prince Cui was not a person with a good temper, the warning in his words was obvious.
He might be courteous to the Su family on ordinary days, but that did not mean he genuinely feared them or would allow a noble family’s power to stand above his imperial authority. That was impossible!
And something he would absolutely not permit.
As for the envoy team from Fox Mountain brought by Xi Yanxue, he could only say he would try to be polite, provided they didn’t cause any trouble, otherwise he wouldn’t care!
Ultimately, the great demons of Fox Mountain merely reveled in speaking provocatively, and the several grandmaster powerhouses of the Su family did not stubbornly make a move but chose to leave in anger.
This wasn’t them considering the greater picture, but they were well aware that they could offend Fox Mountain, maybe even the present Prince Cui, but they absolutely could not ruin Emperor Yun’s matters.
Otherwise, the Su family’s outcome would certainly not be favorable.
Additionally, since Xi Yanxue herself was now also a great demon, wanting to kill her had become quite tricky.
As for Song Changming and Su Qingqing, they were no longer focal points and didn’t warrant mentioning.
"Hold it." Hu Tomb suddenly called out to Su Jizi, who was wanting to slip away with them.
"Marshal, what else is there?" Su Jizi, not expecting to be the one called in the end, looked at the Prince Cui above and the assembly of Fox Mountain’s great demons, swallowing hard and standing a bit uneasily.
