Chapter 600: Past Grudges
"What did you say!?"
The lazy Qingqiu Elder, who was originally reclining in his chair, suddenly sat up with a stern expression.
The White Deer Demon King quickly bowed his head and said, "I have not uttered a single falsehood."
Then, the White Deer Demon King relayed the story of how Han Zheng and his group had disguised themselves to infiltrate the Moon Howling Demon Saint's estate.
"That Swallowing Sky Python is dead, I can guarantee it. The one we saw today was definitely a human disguise!
And this person should be the one who almost killed me in the Moon-picking Cave, now under the command of the General Guardian of Demon Suppression Pass, Chen Baxian's human expert, Han Zheng!
That Chen Baxian is almost unmatched in the Demon Emperor Realm, even able to withstand the attacks of the Moon Howling Demon Saint.
This Han Zheng is also formidable among the Demon Kings of the Yang God Realm; back in the Moon-picking Cave, he could kill a Demon King in just a few moves!"
As the White Deer Demon King finished, a beautiful woman beside the Qingqiu Elder suddenly shouted, "You say that person is called Han Zheng?"
This woman's strength was not particularly strong, seemingly having just reached the Demon Monarch Realm.
However, her presence next to the Qingqiu Elder proved her status was definitely not low.
The White Deer Demon King nodded repeatedly, "That's what those humans called him."
"Xian'er, calm yourself!"
At this moment, a noble-looking woman in palace attire pulled the slightly agitated woman, her slender hand waving lightly to create a mist in which Han Zheng's face appeared.
"Is this the human called Han Zheng?"
The White Deer Demon King looked closely and immediately nodded, "It's him! Although the picture seems somewhat immature, it's undoubtedly him!"
Upon hearing the White Deer Demon King's words, both women's eyes were filled with intense hatred.
These two women were none other than the Qingqiu fox clan members, Ming Xi and Ling Xian'er, who appeared in the Southern Mountain.
Yao Zijing was Ming Xi's son and Ling Xian'er's husband, who ultimately died at Han Zheng's hands in the Guiyuan Sword Pavilion battle. How could they not hate him?
However, the Qingqiu fox clan's arrangements in the Southern Mountain were destroyed by the Demon Cleansing Bureau, so they couldn't go to the Central Plains for revenge even if they wanted to.
They had thought they would never have a chance for revenge in this life, but unexpectedly, one day, their enemy would deliver himself to them!
"Elder, please seek revenge for Ling'er and me, and slay Han Zheng!"
Ming Xi and Ling Xian'er knelt before the Qingqiu Elder, their eyes full of boundless hatred.
The Qingqiu Elder helped them up with one hand, speaking lazily, "Don't worry, the elder will avenge you, and let you do it personally.
Besides, even without you, I wouldn't let that audacious human off lightly.
In recent years, humans have become bolder and bolder. After killing the Moon Howling Demon Saint, they still dare to flaunt in the heart of my demon clan!
Do they really think there's no one in the demon clan?"
As he spoke the last line, the Qingqiu Elder's eyes showed a fierce glint.
The Qingqiu Elder beckoned, summoning a Qingqiu Demon King clad in silver armor.
"Qian Che, take a team of Qingqiu Divine Guards to hunt down Han Zheng, notify all demon clans within the Qingqiu Demon Country's territory, seal off the passages, and find Han Zheng for me.
If you can capture him alive, do so, and bring him back to let your sister Ming Xi kill him to vent her anger."
"Rest assured, Elder, within a day, I can capture Han Zheng!"
The Qingqiu Demon King named Qian Che replied confidently.
Then, after obtaining the appearance of the Swallowing Sky Python that Han Zheng used as a disguise from the White Deer Demon King, he immediately led five subordinates of Demon King Realm to catch Han Zheng.
The White Deer Demon King wanted to remind the Qingqiu Elder that Han Zheng was not an ordinary Yang God Realm Martial Artist of the human clan, his strength was unusually terrifying.
But in the end, the White Deer Demon King didn't voice it, for fear of displeasing the Qingqiu fox clan's people.
The Qingqiu Divine Guards were the elite disciples of the Qingqiu Demon Country, with fewer than ten teams, each team consisting of no more than ten members, none weaker than the Demon King Realm.
Normally, the Qingqiu Divine Guards are deployed to deal with Demon Emperor level beings, and using them to capture one Han Zheng seemed quite an overuse.
Even though they had heard of Han Zheng's extraordinary strength, able to kill a Demon King under the Moon Howling Demon Saint with a few moves, they didn't regard this achievement highly.
The Moon Howling Demon Saint lacked a foundation; although he was an upper demon clan member, he only had himself, leading to inconsistent strengths among his subordinate Demon Emperors and Kings.
The biggest difference between demons and humans is that they consider not only realm but also bloodline.
Among human warriors, Yang God Realm warriors from top great sects or families might have some differences, but not as vast.
But in the demon clan, even at the same Demon King level, the gap between upper and lower demon clans is indeed enormous.
Not only is the physical strength different, but also the innate divine abilities and demon clan skills each can learn are as distinct as heaven and earth.
Though in the past millennium, the demon clan has started nurturing powerhouses among the lower demon clans, and some have even advanced to the Demon Saint, this mindset hasn't changed easily.
Han Zheng could kill a Demon King under the Moon Howling Demon Saint with a few moves because they were useless.
Being an upper demon clan member and Qingqiu elite, those useless ones couldn't compare to him.
The White Deer Demon King was astute; seeing the Qingqiu demon clan's perception, he didn't utter another word.
After all, he had truthfully conveyed the situation and the message, and whether they could catch Han Zheng was no longer his concern.
At this moment, Han Zheng was still traversing the forest trails, trying his best to avoid the territories of those Demon Kings and Demon Emperors.
However, compared to the outskirts, the heart of the Country of Demons was most troublesome because there were too many demon forces, densely packed, and almost all connected.
Sometimes Han Zheng needed to make a big detour to avoid the areas where the Demon Kings resided.
Just then, Han Zheng suddenly sensed something amiss.
The number of demons patrolling the area ahead suddenly increased.
Although most Demon King territories would have some little demons patrolling, they usually were just low-strength little demons.
But now, it was strong demons, and even demon lords starting to patrol the territory.
Han Zheng frowned slightly and immediately turned around to avoid this area.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from all around.
"You are Han Zheng?"
Han Zheng swung around immediately, realizing that six Yang God Realm Demon Kings had already surrounded him.
These six Yang God Realm Demon Kings all wore silver armor, were handsome, and had deep auras.
The leading Qingqiu Demon King, Qian Che, held a silver longsword radiating brilliant edges, gazing at Han Zheng with a slight smirk, holding a hint of disdain.
"Don't think that infiltrating the Moon Howling Demon Saint's estate and killing some riff-raff means you can look down on our demon clan!
Those guys aren't worthy to compare with my Qingqiu clan.
How dare you use the same tactics in my Qingqiu Demon Country, truly ignorant of life and death!
You're lucky; sister Ming Xi wants you alive, so if you surrender, you can live a little longer. My Qingqiu clan has its limits; I'll ensure sister Ming Xi gives you a swift end.
But if you dare resist, I guarantee you'll die a miserable death."
Qian Che sensed Han Zheng's aura, indeed extremely powerful, rare even among Yang God Realm Demon Kings.
However, such power could only be impressive before ordinary Demon Kings, but what did it count for in front of his Qingqiu line?
Han Zheng frowned slightly.
Even though he avoided their path, he was still recognized, where did it go wrong?
Could it be that after killing Yao Zijing back then, the other party left some mark on him?
But those things didn't matter now, since he was targeted, he would fight his way out.
Han Zheng looked up at the fox demon Qian Che, grinned, and revealed a row of neat white teeth, seemingly bright, but actually sinister.
