The Water Demon Race's territory was invaded. This was undoubtedly a crushing blow to the Demon Race.

Now, the Eastern Region belonged entirely to them. Who dared to run amok on their turf?

「In the Southern Continent, within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.」

The Water Demon Race Leader noticed that the number of members in his clan had decreased, and he couldn't help but fly into a rage.

"Who? Who exactly was it?"

The Water Demon Race Leader shouted furiously, "Taking advantage of our absence to kill members of my Water Demon Race—the perpetrator truly deserves death!"

His outburst also attracted the attention of the other Demon clans.

What was happening? Had the Water Demon Race been invaded?

They had joined forces to invade the Southern Continent, so there shouldn't have been any mishaps in the Eastern Region.

"What's going on? Could it be retaliation from the Human Race?" a tall figure from the Flame Demon Race coldly questioned.

The Water Demon Race Leader shouted, "It can't be the Human Race! We've slaughtered everyone from the Human Race in the Eastern Region, and the other races have also been purged by the Royal Family. The Eastern Region is our domain now; it's impossible for the Human Race to appear again."

"What if it's the Human Race from the Central Domain? What if they secretly took action...?" a master from the Flame Demon Race said slowly.

The Water Demon Race Leader looked at those present and said coldly, "If the Human Race from the Central Domain had taken action, do you think we wouldn't have known? And even if it was them, could they have bypassed all your territories to specifically target my Water Demon Race's territory?"

His words did make some sense.

If the Human Race truly invaded, they certainly wouldn't spare any territory.

That means other territories would have been the first to suffer, not the Water Demon Race's.

The Water Demon Race's territory was close to the Imperial Capital. What member of the Human Race would be so idle as to specifically go stir up trouble there?

Since it wasn't the Human Race, it could only be fellow members of the Demon Race.

The Water Demon Race Leader looked at the gathered demons, his implication quite clear.

"Don't look at me. I wouldn't issue such an order."

"Us from the Demon Race don't covet your Water Demon Race's territory; there's no reason for us to strike at you."

"The members of the Ape Demon Race have all joined us in the campaign. Even the young successors have been brought along. It can't possibly be us."

"It wasn't us from the Flame Demon Race either. Our very nature clashes with the Water Demon Race, and we wouldn't do something so self-destructive."

"..."

The leaders of several major Demon clans spoke first.

Their words were quite clear; they hadn't done this.

If their clan members had truly carried out the deed, they would definitely have been the first to know.

The leader of the Demon Race, seated in the principal position, stared at the Water Demon Race Leader and sneered, "We all came out to wage war on the Human Race. It's quite clear who didn't help out."

The demon clans that didn't join the campaign... doesn't that just leave the Royal Family? Would they strike against the Water Demon Race? But what would they gain from doing so?

"Why would the Royal Family do that?" the Ape Demon Race Leader, gripping a Cold Iron Staff and baring his teeth, demanded. "Aren't they afraid the other Demon clans will unite against them?"

No one knew why the Royal Family would undertake such actions. But the silence of the other Demon clans made it obvious they suspected that the Royal Family was behind this.

The Water Demon Race Leader coldly declared, "I leave this matter to you all. I must personally return and investigate. If it really was the Royal Family, I will fight my way to the Imperial Capital and demand a clear explanation!"

With those words, he rose and headed toward the Inter-Provincial Teleportation Array.

But the leader of the Demon Race stopped him and said with a smile, "Let me offer you a warning: that individual is not someone you can afford to provoke. If it truly was their doing, it's best you pretend nothing happened and return here directly.

"If you wish for the entire Water Demon Race to vanish from this world, then go and confront the Royal Family. See if the Demon Emperor will deign to offer you even a single word of explanation!"

Hearing this, the Water Demon Race Leader paused sharply, his body beginning to tremble.

Even those in the Tribulation Realm would feel an indescribable fear when facing the Demon Emperor. And they were not even in the Tribulation Realm yet! Heading to the Imperial Capital now would undoubtedly lead them to a dead end…
