Chapter 2207: Chapter 2205: The Crisis of the Demon Clan

In fact, at the same time the Human Clan’s Saint meeting was being held, the Demon Clan’s Saint meeting was also taking place.

Just like the Human Clan, the Demon Clan also has Six Saints. However, their Eastern Saint has fallen. The eastern territory borders the Human Clan’s land, and their Archsaint clashed head-on with the Human Clan’s Western Saint. The result was the demise of their own Saint, while the Human Clan’s Saint was heavily wounded, with reports indicating death as well.

Both sides losing one Saint has left the Demon Clan with quite the headache.

Five Saints sat cross-legged in a spatial domain, remaining silent for a long time.

After some time, their leading Archsaint finally spoke: "Everyone is already aware of the situation. Initially, our side held the advantage in strength. By risking an all-out battle with the Human Clan, we managed to take down one of their Saints. Originally, it was entirely feasible for us to invade their land and ascend new Saints. But now the situation has shifted drastically. The Fighter Clan’s relationship with us has deteriorated sharply, and a war could break out between us at any moment!"

At the mention of this issue, everyone couldn’t help but feel frustrated. Originally, relations between the two sides hadn’t reached the point of open conflict. In fact, the two sides had even cooperated in certain matters, such as dealing with the Human Clan. The Fighter Clan assisted in threatening surrounding enemies, while the Demon Clan focused their full efforts on attacking the Human Clan. Victory seemed imminent.

An Archsaint smiled bitterly and said, "What frustrates me most is that we have yet to uncover the culprit behind these manipulations. Which world’s expert is truly behind this?"

"Could it be the Human Clan? I have a feeling that only they would orchestrate such schemes. Remember, the Human Clan is currently at its weakest. If they could stir up conflict between us and the Fighter Clan, thereby holding us in check, they would gain a chance to breathe."

"I, for one, don’t believe this has anything to do with the Human Clan. Their current situation is such that they simply lack the strength for such maneuvers. If they had someone of such capability, they would have acted long ago."

"What should we do now? The Fighter Clan is on the verge of launching an attack against us."

At the thought of the Fighter Clan’s power, the Demon Saints all wore grave expressions.

"Although the Fighter Clan is guarded by Two Saints across their territories, we of the Demon Clan are far from weak. Besides one Saint holding position, we possess an ace: the Imprisonment Curse. It can kill Saints, and it’s the very reason the Fighter Clan has yet to overwhelm us."

"In matters involving the Fighter Clan, we have such methods in our arsenal, which they are well aware of. As long as we proceed carefully, they cannot easily harm us. My current concern, however, lies with the Human Clan’s actions. Strange and mysterious events have been occurring, and I still suspect the Human Clan might be responsible. If that proves true, it signifies they’ve begun to strengthen their forces." One Saint expressed his opinion.

After listening intently for a while, the leading Archsaint declared, "The Human Clan and us are already mortal enemies. No matter what happens, the conflict between us is inevitable. Therefore, the task at hand is clear: we must swiftly annihilate the Human Clan. If we can destroy the Human Clan in the shortest time possible, our people could ascend new Saints on their land. With Six Saints under our command, our strength would reach unparalleled heights."

"Exactly. I believe this is the best course of action. The Quasi Saints we’ve been cultivating in secret are now reaching their pivotal moment. There are two locations where they could ascend as Saints—our Eastern territory, where one Saint has fallen, increasing the odds of ascension, and the Human Clan’s land, where the vacant Saint position offers a critical opportunity for advancement."

Everyone soon united in their stance against the Human Clan. In their calculations, the Human Clan, having lost two Saints, was currently at its weakest point. Launching an assault on the Human Clan at this moment promised higher chances of success.

"How should we strike?"

The Demon Clan had no lingering doubts about eliminating the Human Clan. From their perspective, doing so was the key to their rise to power.

"Regarding the Fighter Clan, I think we could adopt a softer approach—perhaps even offer them compensation." Someone proposed.

"No. Based on what we’ve learned, the Fighter Clan and Beast Clan’s worlds are already at war. The Fighter Clan wouldn’t dare launch an attack on us right now. Therefore, we can pull back our Saint stationed near their region and even deploy another Saint from the areas connected to worlds allied with us. With two Saints attacking together, the Human Clan would crumble under our strength."

"That won’t do. Although we can make overtures to the territory bordering the Fighter Clan’s domain, they may hesitate due to their ongoing war with the Beast Clan. However, as a precaution, we cannot withdraw the Saint stationed there."

Indeed, that region must remain secure. If lost, the Fighter Clan—boasting countless strong individuals—might see one of their Quasi Saints ascend as a Saint there. If they gain another Saint, that would spell disaster for the Demon Clan.

After carefully deliberating, the Saints conceded that removing forces from that location was too great a risk.

"Actually, with the fall of the Human Clan’s Western Saint, they can’t send any Saints to bolster the region. The pressure from their two saints tasked with resisting foreign tribes is immense. The remaining Saints dare not move freely either. Therefore, the strongest figures in the west are merely at Quasi-Saint Level."

Given the Human Clan’s situation, the Demon Clan’s Saints nodded internally. Sending just one Demon Saint to the west would be enough to terrify their forces.

"Very well, then. Dispatch some Quasi Saints first, accompanied by one Saint who can lead operations in the west. Utilize the shortest possible time to overrun their territory, and aim for the best outcome—eliminating another Human Saint."

Ultimately, they decided to exploit the Fighter Clan and Beast Clan’s ongoing battle, during which the Fighter Clan would remain hesitant to move. By amassing a large force of Quasi Saints in the Eastern District and reinforcing them with one Saint, the Demon Clan planned a swift and decisive advance to obliterate the Human Clan’s remaining forces.

Additionally, they resolved to engage with other worlds diplomatically, attempting to tie down the Human Clan’s Saints and prevent them from providing support to the western battlefield.

"If we manage to ascend new Saints through this battle, we can quickly deploy the prepared Quasi Saints to follow suit. Among them, surely one or two will ascend on Human Clan soil. Once new Saints arise, we will consolidate the Human Clan’s territories into ours. At that point, our power will truly become unparalleled."

Following the meeting, the Demon Clan began secretly assembling their armies, preparing for a strike capable of solidifying their foundation for future dominance.
