"So, the Bear Demon Emperor, being one of the Nine Great Heroes of the Wilderness, and even a renowned figure comparable to Grandpa Tree, was beaten to death in a group attack? And Master Jade Blade was among the culprits?"

Wang Wu, having survived a calamity, trembled in fear while unable to resist his curiosity.

This Jade Bee Race really is sly, and their treachery is pus-filled; they actually privately kept a bone of the Bear Demon Emperor, allowing them to utilize it to execute Bloodline Pursuit Divine Techniques.

Damn, it's simply unavoidable!

Fortunately, he has always been incredibly suspicious and cautious, even when facing the bloodline inheritance of the Bear Demon Emperor. He didn't have an absolute ancestral worship or idol worship complex, but instead stayed alert, avoiding the complete repair and upgrade of the Inheritance Soul Jade.

So it essentially undermined the accuracy of Master Jade Blade's Bloodline Pursuit.

Of course, his Passive Concealment Talent was indeed too powerful—it even surpassed the former Bear Demon Emperor's capabilities. Truly, all these years, his insecurity had proven immensely beneficial; had he not consistently prioritized Passive Concealment, how could he have achieved this result?

A First-Grade Great Demon, still a generational enmity between races, normally implies a relentless pursuit, an unrelenting kill—complete Dimensional Strike, right?

"This place can't be stayed in any longer."

Wang Wu felt a sense of realization; although the place seemed like a treasure trove to him and likely wouldn't pose a risk anytime soon, the presence of Master Jade Blade and the generational enmity between the Jade Bee Race and Bear Race made it akin to a volcano stuffed full of gunpowder barrels. If any uncontrollable risk occurred someday, he would be in trouble.

Moreover, another detail alarmed Wang Wu even further: How did Lu Wuchen ascertain that he had fled to the Western Wilderness Desert, despite it being three or four years away from the full search encircling Centipede Ridge?

It couldn't have been Ah Qing who exposed him, meaning that Lu Wuchen very likely possessed a piece of the Bear Demon Emperor's bone—perhaps the skull—and used it, aided by some Divination Divine Techniques specialized in locating a rough range.

While contemplating this, a shadow of gloom flashed again in Wang Wu's heart, like the noose of a hanged ghost threatening to strangle him, causing considerable discomfort.

He nearly lost himself for a moment, as if his soul was being seduced and captured.

Luckily, everything returned to normal in the next second.

Then, the attribute bar revealed the same information.

Master Jade Blade, unconvinced by resistance, performed another Bloodline Pursuit Divine Technique, but this time with added measures.

Fortunately, the advantages he had accumulated were indeed significant enough to evade right under Master Jade Blade's nose once again.

"Lu Wuchen, it seems the Ancient Bear Descendant did indeed visit the West Sea Bee Kingdom; there's no doubt about this. However, it seems not to have stayed for long, quickly departing. I can only sense this point now; it's very cunning, no wonder it escaped from your grasp."

"Of course, it's still not wise to draw conclusions now. I'm ordering my children to thoroughly search the West Sea Bee Kingdom; every Demon Spirit Monster must undergo examination. Any with Bear Race bloodline must be executed on the spot. If this Ancient Bear Descendant is really hiding in the West Sea Bee Kingdom, it won't escape. Wait three days."

"Very well!"

Lu Wuchen truly waited, while Wang Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief, unable to resist thinking that the Jade Bee Race was indeed different from other demon races, even able to establish a kingdom.

Listening to Master Jade Blade's tone, he didn't even regard the West Wilderness Demon Race, thinking of them not as demons but as the Bee Race, capable of being on equal standing with the Human Race, even though the Human Race definitely considers the Bee Race as demons.

"This might be due to bees' inherent propensity for unity and cooperation, driven by their unique social structure."

"Without Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, bee insects would remain ordinary insects, but within the Cultivation Realm, they could establish a bee kingdom."

Wang Wu was moved by this realization and now roughly sketched a geographic silhouette.

This West Sea Bee Kingdom should lie at the edge of the West Wilderness continent, adjacent to the Endless Sea, hence also called the West Sea.

The West Sea coast, with its long coastline, certainly isn't the desert; it's likely surrounded by a range of mountains encircling the Western Wilderness Desert. After all, it's the Cultivation Realm, capable of moving mountains and overturning seas; creating a vibrant, prosperous coastal region isn't impossible.

The West Sea Bee Kingdom isn't solely comprised of the Jade Bee Race; it also includes other demon spirit monsters who are subjects of the kingdom, most likely under domination and oppression.

Moreover, the northern expansion of the West Sea Bee Kingdom might border the Black Forest, and they don't get along with Grandpa Tree and the Ancient Tree Race. Otherwise, Lu Wuchen wouldn't have used this as leverage to persuade Master Jade Blade, and seeing their immediate agreement, it seems that the West Sea Bee Kingdom has harbored ambition for the Black Forest for quite some time.

However, if the West Sea Bee Kingdom collaborates with the Cloud Cauldron Nine Cities Alliance to attack the Black Forest, it would spell trouble for Wang Wu.

Lu Wuchen from the Human Race is determined to kill him, and the Jade Bee Race and the Bear Race have been arch enemies for generations. Alas, the days ahead won't be easy to get by.

For a moment, Wang Wu truly wanted to sneak away immediately, but he feared Master Jade Blade would use the bloodline tracking magical power again. Because if the results of the divine technique differed even slightly on the second try due to some variables, it would justify further investigation, which would be disastrous.

Thus, he had no choice but to lie low in place.

He endured this uneasy waiting for three days, and after three days, a huge swarm of Jade Bees returned like a tsunami, akin to agile fighter jets swiftly returning to the hangar. The sight was overwhelming, revealing why the West Sea Bee Kingdom could successfully establish its rule. This is truly a testament to martial virtue.

"Lu Wuchen, it's confirmed, the ancient bear descendant is no longer here. If not, would you use the divination divine technique once more? As long as you can ascertain the approximate location of that ancient bear descendant, I wouldn't mind accompanying you to personally eliminate him to prevent future troubles."

Master Jade Blade spoke calmly, but the murderous intent within was chilling. It seemed even more eager than Lu Wuchen to slaughter Xiong Wu.

Lu Wuchen chuckled bitterly, "I'm afraid this matter can't be resolved for now. Earlier, I used the Bear Demon Emperor's skull to ask my junior disciple, who is most skilled in divination, to perform the divination. But as you know, the Bear Demon Emperor is terrifying. Even in death, its skull retains extraordinary divine techniques, so each divination requires a considerable cost, and years must pass between each attempt."

"What I'm worried about is the rapid growth of Xiong Wu. In another decade or so, we might be left in its dust. You participated in the siege and slaying of the Bear Demon Emperor back then and know how abnormal their stealth talents are. It doesn't even need to advance to First Grade. Just reaching Peak of Grade Two, sneaking up on us, and launching a deadly strike, will we have any escape?"

"Of course, I know this. That's why I thought of pulling out all the stops, finding and killing it while it's still weak. Wouldn't that be perfect?" Master Jade Blade seemed displeased.

"Hear me out, what I'm suggesting is not being led by Xiong Wu's rhythm. It operates in the dark while we're in the light, putting us at a disadvantage. Therefore, I've come this time with alternative intentions. If we can't find Xiong Wu, I hope the Cloud Cauldron Nine Cities Alliance will formally ally with the West Sea Bee Kingdom! Swearing by the heavens, vowing under the azure sky, and signing a three-thousand-year friendship treaty."

"This way, we can join forces to develop the Black Forest and kill Grandpa Tree. Once successful, we'll divide the Black Forest according to the areas we occupy."

"Secondly, use the grand momentum to kill Xiong Wu because given the current situation, our chances of catching it are slim. This Xiong Wu could certainly grow into the second Bear Demon Emperor. Due to its deep hatred for me, I'm genuinely concerned it will hide in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike fatally. I know I cannot escape."

"Including yourself, Master Jade Blade, are you confident you can escape the Bear Demon Emperor's assassination?"

"So, what can we do? We can only emulate the siege and killing strategy used against the Bear Demon Emperor back then. Force it by grand momentum. It may successfully assassinate once, twice, three times, even ten times, but as long as we unite, our combined strength is exceedingly powerful. We will have enough force to dispatch troops and pursue. Back then, it took us a thousand years to kill the Bear Demon Emperor. What did we rely on, individual strength?"

"No, we relied on grand momentum, massive resources, and greater comprehensive strength."

"Right now, I can be straightforward with you. I'm considering recruiting the West Wilderness demon tribes, explicitly stating we only kill the Ancient Blood Bear Race. The other demon tribes can all join the Cloud Cauldron Nine Cities Alliance. Moreover, we could even form a real West Wilderness Alliance. Centipede Ridge is under my control now; the Centipede Grand General has submitted to me, promising to lead a demon race army for me. In the future, when we assault the Black Forest, it is willing to be the vanguard. I've already promised that it can follow the precedent of the West Sea Bee Kingdom to establish its own demon country."

"However, I also want to subdue the Mad Tiger King, but that old fellow isn't very compliant. Hence, I want to invite Master Jade Blade to join me in ascending the Great Snow Mountain to decapitate the Great Ape King swiftly, end the war, and force the Mad Tiger King to surrender. I would also like Master Jade Blade to accompany me to Heavenly Dao Mountain to cajole them and allow the Tiger Demon Race and its subordinate demon tribes to establish a country, still following the precedent of the West Sea Demon Country."

"But, the Mad Tiger King must personally lead a demon race army with us to invade the Black Forest."

"Only by concentrating the power of North, South, East, and West can we divide the Black Forest and kill Grandpa Tree. Without even a part of our strength, it is impossible to succeed."

"What do you think, Master Jade Blade?"

After Lu Wuchen finished speaking, Master Jade Blade chuckled, "Lu Wuchen, you're truly cunning! Indeed, indeed, by creating grand momentum and forming the West Wilderness Alliance, solely excluding the Ancient Blood Bear Race, even if that ancient bear descendant advances to First Grade, there would be no place for it in the entire West Wilderness."

"Great, I agree! But you humans must promise not to renege our agreement. I will personally negotiate with the Mad Tiger King and the Centipede Grand General, personally ensuring that their established demon countries are under the protection of the West Sea Bee Kingdom. Should your humans dare to betray us, don't blame the West Sea Bee Kingdom for being impolite."

"But, it's best to persuade the Great Ape King to surrender as well."

Master Jade Blade envisioned a brighter picture because compared to the West Wilderness demon tribes, the Jade Bee Race clearly knows that humans are the least reliable.
