"Exhilarating! Truly exhilarating!" Ao Ming drank the fine wine in big gulps, shouting loudly.

At this moment, the Dragon Son, unbridled and seemingly intoxicated, was loudly recounting his battle achievements.

In this battle, his slaying of the Demon King truly had a majestic and awe-inspiring effect, dispelling the shadows of past failures, and he could finally hold his head high with pride.

"Let’s see who dares to say the Dragon Clan has no one left!"

You should know that because of the previous failures, there were rumors and whispers all across the Three Realms about the decline of the Dragon Clan, claiming there were no successors, leading to the once-mighty race falling to its current state.

Hearing such talk, Ao Ming and the others were exceedingly angry, resolved to revive the Dragon Clan.

Now, due to their causes, the reputation of the Dragon Clan was damaged. You can imagine the depression and discomfort in their hearts; if not for Ao Xing’s constant guidance, many might have suffered psychological collapse.

However, with this victory, all those rumors and slanders will vanish like smoke. Everyone is very clear, being able to retaliate so swiftly and in such a short time, the strength of the Dragon Clan is evident. Although they might not compare to the Heavenly Court, the Buddhist Sect, and the Demon Clan, they are still a formidable force in the first tier of the Three Realms, not to be underestimated.

Ao Xing too was smiling on the side, saying, "I bet there’ll be fewer little thieves in the Four Seas."

The most severe consequence of the last failure was that many in the Three Realms looked down on the Dragon Clan, which led to many with ulterior motives attempting to steal from the Dragon Palace. Even though the Dragon Palace killed quite a few of these fools, the allure of wealth is strong, and the treasures of the Dragon Palace are well-known. How could it possibly stop these greedy individuals?

Only by displaying the power of the Dragon Clan, making them hesitate out of fear, knowing that such actions are almost bound to fail, can their greedy hearts be truly deterred.

The Dragon Clan was filled with laughter and joyful chatter, and the young members of the clan let out laughter that had been missing for a long time. Only Ao Xing, who orchestrated it all, had a serious expression, his eyes distant and profound.

Because he knew that after this hurdle, the real test for the Dragon Clan would come. From the moment of victory, the Dragon Clan would be pressured by the political powerplay of the Heavenly Court and the Demon Court’s contest with the Buddhist Sect.

Whether they get consumed entirely or rise with the opportunity will depend on the Dragon Clan’s own fate.

In Ao Xing’s mind, countless thoughts flashed by, as he considered how to seize the greatest benefits for the Dragon Clan under the noses of the major forces.

When the call for help from the Great Sage who Overturns the Seas arrived at the Demon Court, neither Feng Jiu nor the Demon Master had a trace of worry on their faces.

"As expected, they’re calling for help. If they didn’t, I would start to suspect the Dragon Clan has some other scheme," the Demon Master said with a smile, putting down the letter.

For the Great Sage who Overturns the Seas to fend off the Four Seas Dragon Clan with just that small force is nothing but a fool’s dream, even a previous, thoroughly convincing victory couldn’t change such a situation.

The Dragon Clan’s foundation allows them to afford numerous failures, but seizing just one opportunity could change the entire game.

Sometimes war is about winning or losing, but sometimes it’s about the grand trend.

In the face of the grand trend, a single failure cannot change the overall course of events.

"Being able to hold out for this long has already exceeded my expectations," Feng Jiu also said in a low voice.

And it was precisely because of this period of respite that the Demon Clan welcomed formidable reinforcements. Just a few days ago, those monsters who had been enlightened by the Buddhist Sect had secretly entered Luzhou in the North, bolstering the Demon Clan with a fresh force.

During the time they were being enlightened, these monsters underwent the strictest training. Compared to the lax and scattered monsters of Luzhou in the North, they were more disciplined and possessed greater combat prowess.

The arrival of such a force was enough to change the outcome of a war.

"In that case, let this group go to support the Sea Overturner. The Valley of Ten Thousand Demons has complicated geography, and it would be hard for them to be effective if they’re not familiar with the area," the Demon Master suggested with a nod.

Feng Jiu nodded her head in agreement with the Demon Master’s suggestion.

"The supplemental materials from the Demon Realm have also arrived, giving us enough to persevere. Moreover, I’ve heard that the harvest there was particularly abundant this time."

"The Demon Realm is Lord Lin Fang’s domain. With his care, it is naturally blessed with favorable weather for crops, yielding abundant harvests every year," the Demon Master said with a smile.

Having a Master of the World is beneficial indeed. Even though the current Demon Realm still seems somewhat small, its potential is extraordinary. As time goes on, one day, this small world will become as vast and boundless as the Three Realms, capable of accommodating countless members of the Demon Clan. By then, the Demon Clan will truly have established a foundation for eternity.

"I just wonder how Lin Fang is doing in the Heavenly Court!" the Demon Master said with a sigh.

In truth, the Demon Master had opposed Lin Fang’s decision to go to the Heavenly Court, as Lin Fang represented the future of the Demon Clan.

The situation in the Three Realms was mysterious and unpredictable, but the fact that the Human Clan ruled over the Three Realms was undisputed. No matter how well the Demon Clan developed, they were relegated to only holding onto Luzhou in the North, and to advance further was near impossible.

The schemes of the Human Clan’s sages were clear for all beings of the Three Realms to see, ignited by the lives and philosophies of countless forebears to flame up into a blaze that could sear Heaven and Earth and shift the stars. Such terrifying power was not to be trifled with by anyone, as the Human Clan’s dominance had been established.

Therefore, for the Demon Clan to develop further, the only way was to carve out a new path, and the Demon Realm was the best solution.

It was just that Feng Jiu couldn’t let go of her preoccupations. But no one except Lin Fang could have accomplished this, and Lin Fang himself wanted to visit the Heavenly Court. Hence, this present situation had come to pass.

It would be a long time before he returned.

At the moment, the very Lin Fang who was on the minds of both was in the Demon Realm, laughing heartily, "I’ve finally given up!"

Earlier, due to spreading rumors, under the order of the Divine Exorcist Great Sage, the whole Heavenly Court had been thoroughly searching for spies.

This situation had caused an uproar, and many an Immortal cursed behind closed doors, all because the Divine Exorcist Great Sage was convinced that someone had infiltrated the Heavenly Court. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

If it were an ordinary spy, perhaps he would have already been caught by now, but Lin Fang’s patience far exceeded his expectations. Having the Demon Realm at his side, aside from employing certain means to spread rumors, Lin Fang had never made a direct move, and he had a group of people to cover his tracks. Thus, the Divine Exorcist Great Sage had expended great effort but ended up empty-handed.

Many in the Heavenly Court came to believe that the spy was a figment of imagination and eventually forced the Divine Exorcist Great Sage to call off the operation.

If it were anyone else, they might have been overjoyed at this point and begun their own operations.

However, Lin Fang had thoroughly studied the Divine Exorcist Great Sage, who had infiltrated the Demon Clan for many years before going to the Heavenly Court. The Great Sage was a natural-born spy with an extremely sharp instinct for intelligence and was cautious to a fault, never revealing a trace of his actions, which is evident from his years of remaining undetected within the Demon Court.
