Chapter 1276: Dark Devourer Clan
The Dark Devourer Clan had been hunted to near extinction, and its few survivors had been chased out of the Devil Domain through the forbidden tunnel. The only reason there were still some survivors in the Devil Domain was that they had hidden some of their members before the three clans' attack. Only after the three clans retreated from their territory did they return. They had been hiding and recuperating all this while.
Originally, they didn't plan to expose themselves this early. Unfortunately, one of their scouts couldn't control itself and decided to devour someone, which was how their survival was exposed. Because of that, they were forced to make a stand once again.
Of course, they wouldn't commit the same mistake and face the three clans head on. Only a part of them was left behind as a distraction while the rest headed for the forbidden tunnel. They could sense the existence of their fellow clan members on the other side of the tunnel. Perhaps they could bring their clan members back to the Devil Domain, or perhaps they could leave through the tunnel.
In short, they had the initiative at hand. A day would come when they returned for their revenge.
Xiang Shaoyun had traveled with the Imperial Nether Clan members for a few days. During these few days, he had suffered greatly. He had previously agreed to ride with Ming Weini, but she had taken advantage of him many times while riding together.
He was sure that this woman was definitely in heat. Her entire body was basically plastered to him. She would exhale seductively on him every now and then, her hands constantly roaming all over his body.
Even a slow-witted person could see what Ming Weini was trying to do. The other Imperial Nether Clan members were full of envy when they looked at Xiang Shaoyun. However, Xiang Shaoyun himself had no interest. This woman was too aggressive. She was definitely not his cup of tea.
At first, he endured her provocations. His goal was to blend in with the Imperial Nether Clan members without growing too close to them. He also didn't want to stand out too much. Alas, he had reached the limit of his endurance.
"Seventh princess, I am not interested in you. Stop provoking me," said Xiang Shaoyun flatly.
Ming Weini wasn't angered. She smiled and said, "Are you shy because there's a lot of people? Don't worry, I'll look for somewhere private. Let's have some fun there. I promise it will be an experience of a lifetime for you."
Xiang Shaoyun smiled bitterly and said, "Seventh princess, I grew up among humans. I am a conservative person. We'll talk when I become interested in you in the future."
He felt like his refusal was candid enough, but Ming Weini's patience was remarkable. She said, "Ok. I understand. After this mission, this princess will grant you an experience of a lifetime."
Even as she spoke, she lightly drew her finger down his chest, nearly reaching his private part. He grabbed her hand in panic and said, "Stop provoking me, or I might really kill you!"
He was forced to be fierce, or this woman would grow even bolder.
"Yes! This is it! This overbearingness is what a real man should have!" said Ming Weini as she licked her lips.
Xiang Shaoyun felt like this woman was a lunatic. Fortunately, his warning was effective. At the very least, she had stopped touching him, allowing him to travel peacefully. After several days, they finally reached the Dark Devourer Clan's former territory.
When Ming Cigeng saw the thick baleful blood poison below them, he said, "The Dark Devourer Clan is indeed still around. From the looks of it, there are quite a lot of them."
"Lord Cigeng, let's attack immediately and flip this place upside down. I refuse to believe they can keep hiding from us," suggested someone.
The others also voiced similar suggestions.
Ming Cigeng waved his hand and said, "There's no need. The Nether Monarch had said that all of you are only here to train and understand the Dark Devourer Clan. Try your best to fight alone and prove that you have the potential to stand on your own two feet in the future. Princes and princesses, time for you to move in. As for the rest of us, we will be in charge of watching and preventing any Dark Devourer Clan members from escaping."
The ten princes and five princesses were stunned. Evidently, this arrangement was a complete surprise for them. When they recovered from their shock, excitement covered their faces.
"Just you watch. I'll exterminate all of them!" said a prince confidently before diving down from the air.
"Let's see just how incredible the Dark Devourer Clan is to dare challenge the three clans," said a different prince as he drew his weapon and dove down as well.
One after another, the princes and princesses dove down, showing no fear of the baleful blood poison.
"Nineteenth prince, why are you not moving?" asked Ming Cigeng.
"I'm not in a rush to die," replied Xiang Shaoyun nonchalantly.
As soon as he spoke, the baleful blood poison surged up and engulfed the princes and princesses. The princes and princesses were no pushovers. They instantly erupted in strength, trying to push the baleful blood poison back. They were confident they could easily push the poison away.
But when they touched the poison, their energy instantly rotted away. Their defensive barriers couldn't stop the poison. One of them wailed in pain. Evidently, that person had fallen victim to the poison.
Some were able to retreat in time, while some were able to erupt with an even greater strength to disperse the poison around them. Several figures shot up at an incredible speed and instantly reached the princes and princesses like specters.
The figures were none other than the Dark Devourer Clan members. Utilizing the baleful blood poison, they launched a fierce attack. The princes and princesses sank into chaos. Because they were frightened by the baleful blood poison, they couldn't even muster an appropriate response.
Fortunately, they were able to quickly activate their abilities and engage their opponents in battle. They were, after all, Devil Saints. Originally, they had all thought that they could easily complete the mission because they only needed to kill several Dark Devourer Clan members each. Only when the battle started did they realize how wrong they were.
The Dark Devourer Clan's Devouring Darkness ability was too terrifying. Even the Imperial Nether Domain could be devoured. The baleful blood poison they spat out of their mouths was also incredibly powerful. The princes and princesses were having an incredibly difficult time defending against them. It didn't take long for the poison to kill two princes. One could see how terrifying the baleful blood poison was, as even Devil Saints couldn't survive it.
"The Dark Devourer Clan is indeed powerful, but they're still nothing special," remarked Xiang Shaoyun flatly as he finally made a move.
