Chapter 667: Chapter 666: Tit for Tat
The Qilin Clan Leader snorted coldly and said, "Wolf Dust, only a fool would doubt us."
"Anyone can see that we have nothing to do with the Demon God Temple. If we were the ones who moved against you, do you think you wouldn’t recognize our distinctive traits?"
"Moreover, most of our forces in the Saint Realm are outside, and there are plenty of people who can testify to that."
What the Qilin Clan Leader said was true; their traces in the Saint Realm could be identified, so they couldn’t hide anything.
That Wolf Dust would accuse them was truly laughable.
"Hehe, this is just speculation. Of course, I know it’s not you all. Now there’s only one possibility left, that is the Human clan."
"Now they’ve acted against us, next we won’t know who they will strike."
"Thus, I have called everyone here to discuss how to deal with the Demon God Temple!"
Wolf Dust’s meaning was very simple, if you don’t help me, then your fate will be the same as mine.
So now, whether you want to help me or not, think it over yourselves.
"Wolf Dust’s speculation does make sense; I agree!"
As expected of the one on good terms with the Red Moon Wolf Clan, the Mang Jiao Clan was the first to stand up and say so.
This time, the actions of the Demon God Temple had caused them to lose several of their forces in the Saint Realm.
Especially since the Demon God Temple dared to threaten them, they simply could not swallow this indignity.
At first, they also planned to declare war on the Demon God Temple.
However, when they saw those several hundred forces of the Saint Realm in the Demon God Temple, they immediately became wary.
Afterwards, when they heard that the Red Moon Wolf Clan was preparing to unite with the Ancient Races to deal with the Demon God Temple, they quickly responded.
"Wolf Dust makes a reasonable point. If it truly is the Human clan, then I am willing to take action."
With a simple thought, they understood the threat posed by the Demon God Temple.
If they didn’t eradicate it early, it would become very dangerous later on.
After all, they had seen the fate of the Red Moon Wolf Clan, a mighty Ancient Race now forced to shrink back onto its own territory.
They certainly didn’t want to see their own people slaughtered.
"Hmph, I don’t agree!"
The Qilin Clan Leader snorted coldly.
"What are you suggesting?"
Wolf Dust’s tone immediately turned colder.
"First, we need to ascertain whether the Demon God Temple is indeed an organization of the Human clan. According to the information I’ve received, there hasn’t been much movement among the Human clan’s Saint Realm, which suggests the Demon God Temple doesn’t have a big connection to the Human clan."
"Furthermore, the Demon God Temple has also killed quite a few strong warriors of the Human clan. There have been fallings of Human clan’s Saint Realm members before, from various sects and all of them strong."
"If you say the Demon God Temple is established by the Human clan, then why would members of the Human clan’s Saint Realm still die?"
The Qilin Clan Leader looked coldly at Wolf Dust, "And another thing you may not have considered, if we Ancient Races join forces, what about the Human clan? Will they just stand by and watch? If it turns out that the Demon God Temple has no ties with the Human clan, we’ll be facing the assault of two forces."
"You say that the Demon God Temple is the Human clan’s, so what evidence do you have?"
"Hmph, then tell me, apart from us and the Human clan, where else in this world are there so many Saint Realms?"
"Forbidden lands!"
The Qilin Clan Leader uttered these two words indifferently.
Upon hearing this, the faces of those present changed.
Under normal circumstances, they would not discuss these two characters.
Because this forbidden land is too mysterious, too powerful, even they, the Quasi-Emperors, would not dare to enter it lightly.
And within the forbidden land there are ancient emperors who are rarely seen. Although they very seldom appear, if they did, they would be utterly powerless to resist.
"This is absolutely impossible. If it really were the forbidden land, there would be no need for them to do this."
"With their strength, just one ancient emperor could exterminate us."
Wolf Dust was the first to shake his head in disagreement.
As a joke, if it were the forbidden land, there’d be no need to form a Demon God Temple; one ancient emperor could annihilate all of them.
The ancient races would be no exception.
Moreover, the strong ones in the forbidden land are mostly asleep, only waking for brief periods.
If the forbidden land truly wanted to interfere with the Dao Realm, there would be no need to operate under the guise of the Demon God Temple.
"I also think it’s unlikely to be the forbidden land because even the forbidden land couldn’t summon so many from the Saint Realm, unless several forbidden lands united, then they might have a way."
The White Tiger Clan Leader shook his head as he spoke.
Mainly because for the forbidden land to do this would be completely unreasonable—it would be like taking off one’s trousers to fart, an utterly redundant act.
"Mhm, I agree too!"
The other ancient race Clan Leaders also nodded one after another.
If the forbidden land truly emerged, they wouldn’t use the name of the Demon God Temple.
"I also think the Demon God Temple isn’t from the forbidden land, but we need to be suspicious, and there’s another power that deserves suspicion."
The Qilin Clan Leader had taken the other’s reactions into consideration and continued to speak with a smile.
"What else could it be?"
At this moment, Wolf Dust looked at the Qilin Clan Leader impatiently.
With so many present, only this guy was causing trouble; otherwise, they would have already joined forces.
They were even discussing how to deal with the Demon God Temple.
"There are people from the last era!"
"While rare, such a thing has happened before, and I’m sure you all haven’t forgotten the last dynasty’s resurgence."
Everyone nodded; of course, they wouldn’t forget.
After all, that dynasty had caused quite a stir in the Dao Realm.
"Are you suspecting that the Demon God Temple is a power from the last era?"
"Exactly!"
The Qilin Clan Leader said indifferently, "The ability of the Demon God Temple, I’m sure everyone is clear on that—this kind of secret technique that comes and goes like a ghost, we have never seen it before."
"Another point is that we can’t find any origins for the Demon God Temple, they seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. If it were built by humans, then we definitely would have received some information."
Upon saying this, the Qilin Clan Leader’s tone grew somber, "So I’m saying the Demon God Temple has no connection with humans. You all want to join forces, and I won’t stop you, but what I want to tell you is, if the Demon God Temple has nothing to do with humans, then what we may have to face is not just the Demon God Temple, have you thought about that?"
"The combat power the Demon God Temple has shown already is shocking, and we don’t know what else they might have behind them, we don’t even know the full extent of their Hall Master’s power. If a real conflict starts, how will we deal with it?"
"Even if we win, what will be the cost? I’m afraid that by then many of us present won’t be around anymore."
"Having said that, do you still think we should join forces?"
As these words were spoken, everyone began to ponder deeply, considering the consequences of war. If it were as the Qilin Clan Leader said, even if they joined forces and called upon the Dragon Clan and the Fire Phoenix Clan, the chances of victory were not very high, it could even be described as slim.
