Looking around, a large expanse was filled with Heavenly Dao Kings, with only seven or eight Heavenly Dao Emperors! Such strength was even inferior to the Tiger Clan.
"Kuangsu..."
This was his younger brother! The new clan leader of the Lion Clan! And the current mate of his female!
Kuangsu snorted coldly upon hearing this, his eyes full of disdain!
"To fall to such a state with the cultivation of a dignified Beast King, as a fellow clan member, you are simply a disgrace to us! Kuanghou, why have you returned? Wouldn't it be better to die outside?!"
Every word carried no fraternal affection, but more of disgust and long-suppressed hatred!
With strength laid bare, Kuanghou had nothing to say! His rightful female was occupied by his younger brother, he accepted his fate! He also admitted to losing the position of clan leader! But he thought he had treated this brother well, only to find him in such a state, as if wishing he were dead...
At this moment, his thoughts were incredibly clear! Kuanghou's gaze gradually darkened. The Lion Clan was such a secure place, yet his son was snatched away... Thinking of a certain possibility, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and look over! His gaze seemed to hold the resentment of the entire world!
"My son is missing, is it related to you?"
A flicker of inexplicable emotion crossed Kuangsu's eyes upon hearing this! He subconsciously denied it reflexively.
"It has nothing to do with me!"
The rebuttal was too quick! Unreasonably fast!
Kuanghou's expression changed, his eyes widening in disbelief!
"It really was you!?"
Under normal circumstances, the other party's reaction should have been surprise and disbelief, but Kuangsu's immediate denial clearly indicated guilt.
Kuanghou felt his mind go blank for a moment, followed by a surge of anger in his chest! His chest heaved violently! Hatred grew like weeds...
The other lion beasts were somewhat surprised. They weren't intelligent, but they weren't foolish either! The former Beast King clearly implied that their clan leader had harmed his son! Offspring... were always of utmost importance to demonic beasts! If this were true...
Kuangsu immediately noticed the hesitant glances of the other lion beasts, his heart tightening, but his face was filled with feigned anger and excitement.
"Kuanghou, how dare you slander me like this? Even if I hate you, I would never frame you with offspring! Besides, I am now the clan leader of the Lion Clan, how could I do such a thing! It is you... who disregarded the demonic beast race and went directly to the cultivators, disappearing for hundreds of years, I heard... you made a contract with that cultivator?"
As the last sentence fell, all the lion beasts instantly filled with righteous indignation! Their gazes all turned towards Kuanghou, full of shock!
The dignity of a Beast King should have been unyielding, never to contract with a cultivator! If Kuanghou had truly been contracted, he would be a disgrace to demonic beasts!
Kuangsu was very satisfied with this, his face showing extreme disappointment!
"Kuanghou, you are truly... For the sake of our brotherhood, I will scatter your cultivation and expel you from the demonic beast race!"
With that, he no longer gave Kuanghou a chance to speak, raising his claw and unleashing a powerful oppressive force, the aura of a Heavenly Dao Emperor rapidly spreading, descending fiercely upon Kuanghou!
As a former Heavenly Dao Emperor, Kuanghou could still discern the opponent's intentions. He quickly leaped across the cliff, the oppressive force following closely behind! Everywhere it passed was left in ruins...
Kuangsu snorted, ordering all the Lion Clan members to stand by, while he himself stepped forward, spewing a torrent of flames, both blocking Kuanghou's escape route and seeming to toy with him, never delivering a killing blow!
This scene, witnessed by all the beasts, was met with no action regarding Kuangsu's humiliating behavior, despite their internal dissatisfaction...
How could Kuanghou not understand this! But at this moment, he truly couldn't defeat the opponent, and could only endure his anger and shame as he fled in a panic! His human form was inconvenient, so he transformed into his beast form to dodge everywhere. The flames of a Heavenly Dao Emperor burned quickly and were extremely hot! Soon, a large patch of his fur was scorched...
Kuangsu savored his brother's dishevelment, his eyes filled with excitement and pleasure! His gaze grew more fervent, and his attacks became heavier!
At this moment, no one noticed a small mass of something in the corner, almost the same color as the mountain body. A brownish-red tail twitched slightly, and a pair of small, beady black eyes looked into the distance, feeling a little anxious!
It was a Heavenly Dao Sage, utterly outmatched by those individuals! It was likely that even Jin Bao'er couldn't defeat them. Was the Beast King to be watched as he was tormented to death?!
As it hesitated, a thin rope being dragged slightly closer...
By the time Hu Qi reacted, the two little things he liked had appeared beside him. Seeing his face full of surprise, his aura almost leaked out. Jin Lingdang quickly whispered.
"Suppress your aura! Listen to me... You take us and charge forward, getting me as close as possible to that dark-eyed demonic beast, Fen Bei will cover me from behind, and if those lions make a move, stop them!"
With a few quick sentences, Jin Lingdang jumped directly onto Hu Qi's little paw. Fen Bei understood its intention, wiggling excitedly...
Finally, it could eat its fill! Wasn't it excited!!
Hu Qi's eyes lit up! Although he didn't know why it wanted to get close to Kuangsu, Jin Lingdang was an immortal artifact, it must have its own way!
Getting close to Kuangsu... He could do it!
Without further ado, Hu Qi bit down on the Jin Lingdang in his mouth and, while the group of lion beasts were distracted by the spectators, dashed away like a streak of lightning! The small movement did not attract their attention, as it was normal to have small demonic beasts in the vicinity.
When Hu Qi leaped, his small body curled into a circle as he soared through the air, and only then did a lion beast notice the anomaly... and instinctively let out a startled cry.
"What is that!?"
The sound drew many gazes, including Kuangsu, who was filled with wild excitement...
Facing the round object flying towards him, he merely frowned slightly and casually struck out to swat it away! After all, the thing looked rather weak!
Upon being struck, the little fox ignored the pain in its body and the metallic taste in its mouth, and with all its might, flung the Jin Lingdang over.
"Ding Ling Ling..."
The clear and melodious ringing of the bell echoed through the mountain ravine! A faint immortal artifact aura gently descended, causing a momentary pause in Kuangsu's impatient expression...
The next second, Jin Lingdang had arrived beside him, about to sweep past his head. He frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart!
"Kuang..."
Just as he was about to retreat, his forehead was suddenly struck hard by something, causing immense pain! Golden light suddenly flared, and before he could even see clearly, his entire body uncontrollably plunged downwards. Until the moment he landed, he was about to swing away the thing on his body with one hand, but his claw landed on a hard, heavy, and cold object...
Everything happened in a flash. He, a dignified Heavenly Dao Emperor, didn't even have time to retreat!
When he came to his senses, there was nothing around except that bell-tripod! Occasionally, a string of messy, nonsensical scribbles would flash before his eyes, making him dizzy. He shook his lion head forcefully, an infinite rage welling up in his heart.
